I love time travel the most!

When they first arrived at the virtual game, a box with a strange pattern fell from the sky. Inside was a stack of 10,000 banknotes and something else.

"Kazuma, aren't we leaving this behind?"

"No need, this (money) is enough for traveling in a modern city."

……

Kazuma Sato clutched his head and screamed, "It's that one!!!"

"...Kazuma, may I ask, where is that device?"

"Sorry, I threw it away because it was too much trouble."

"What did you say--?!!!"

Upon hearing this, Aqua's expression changed drastically.

I'm doomed, I'm dead!

Chapter 438 Escaping the City! Virtual Reality Game

If they don't defeat the Mobile Fortress Destroyer that appeared in the virtual space TOKYO, Kobayashi and his group won't be able to leave this world.

A small mobile fortress destroyer, its eyes glowing with a terrifying red light, slowly approached the group, and the group, overwhelmed by its aura, slowly retreated.

"This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!!!"

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!!!"

Kazuma Sato and Aqua each had their arms around Kobayashi's arms, howling and screaming in his ear.

It's just a mere mobile fortress destroyer, is there anything to be so afraid of?

...I simply couldn't bring myself to say that.

This is a virtual game space, so magic is completely unusable. And judging from how Aqua was holding him and he couldn't break free, his physical abilities must be ridiculously poor.

"Senior Kobayashi, please think of something quickly!"

"...I'm sorry, I'm also at a loss right now."

"how come!!!"

These days, everyone is no different from ordinary people. They can't carry heavy loads, and they get out of breath when they run. Could they just kick the bucket like this?

Huihui quickly said, "If it's lost, let's go get it back! Anyway, our final destination is Shibuya!"

"Easy for you to say! You saw the crowds in front of the station, right? They're definitely all gone now!"

Kazuma Sato broke down in despair and screamed.

They arrived in the virtual game space in the trendy area of ​​Shibuya, and now that it's late, they certainly won't be able to find it even if they go back.

"What should we do then?"

"The Mobile Fortress Destroyer will not stop without the use of the four devices."

Yoyo and Darkness were also a little flustered.

[Beep beep! The Mobile Fortress Destroyer is approaching. Please respond immediately.]

A cold, mechanical voice came from the sky, without any mockery, yet it made people grit their teeth in hatred, wanting to punch it hard.

No, we need to calm down now.

Darkness asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why is it called the Mobile Fortress Destroyer?"

"No need to think, it's definitely that bald researcher! Anyway, it's just something I did randomly, it doesn't matter what the final boss is! ...Waaaaah!!!" Just as Sato Kazuma finished speaking, he saw a black shadow fall from the sky, and with a loud bang, the ground was shattered.

"No way, they actually opened fire!"

Aqua's expression changed.

It really was a cannonball!

These aren't toys that turn into ribbons when fired; they're real firearms filled with gunpowder that explode into pieces when hit!

What on earth is going on? That idiot bald researcher is making a casual game into an overly difficult level-based game—it's just utter garbage! I take back what I said about him being an excellent game designer!

"No, no, no!" Aqua suddenly burst into tears, shouting, "It's impossible to run to Shibuya while dodging that guy's attacks! Waaaaaah!!!"

In her panic, the silly goddess made a careless move and was hit by a cannonball, then simply fell to the ground.

"Aqua!"

"A...Aqua?!"

"No way!"

"Miss Aqua?!"

The others shouted.

Xiaolin's expression changed, and he hurriedly ran over to check the situation. Then he saw the stupid goddess who had been blown into a mosaic.

Why would they impose restrictions on this aspect?

It's said to be 12+, but it has a killer feature; it's said to be 19+, but it has a mosaic effect. How exactly is it differentiated? I completely don't understand the judging criteria!

No, no, no, now is not the time to complain.

"Hey, Aqua! Are you alright?"

Kobayashi stared blankly at the mosaic, unsure of what to do. Just as he was wondering what to do, the mosaic began to wriggle like dough, eventually coalescing to form the shape of the idiot goddess.

"Ouch—, it hurts! It hurts so much! Waaaaaah!!! Kobayashi—!"

"……Aha?!"

Kobayashi stared wide-eyed, bewildered, at Aqua, who was wailing loudly.

What on earth is this...

"Could this cannon be just for show?"

While dodging the bombardment, Kazuma Sato thought for a moment and replied, "It looks scary, but it's actually just something like an Easter egg? This kind of thing often happens in games; it's just the creators' quirky sense of humor. Okay, in that case, let's give it a try."

After he finished speaking, he stopped, opened his arms, and looked as if he was preparing to catch a shell.

"No! Sato-kun, get out of the way!"

"oh……?!"

Kobayashi shouted, and Sato Kazuma uttered a strange sound, then his legs went weak and he instinctively squatted down. A shell then grazed his scalp and crashed into the shop behind him.

"Gulu~~~"

Kazuma Sato swallowed.

He also realized how foolish his idea had been. If the shells were fake, they couldn't possibly have caused any damage to the scene, and the damaged scene should have been restored long ago.

"Then Aqua is..."

"Have you forgotten, Sato-kun, Aqua's strange behavior at the beginning?"

"Strange behavior...that's it!"

It's a small parallel instruction!

Up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A!

"So that's why Aqua has thirty lives! Just how much does that bald-headed researcher like the Minami command?! Bastard!!!" Sato Kazuma cursed angrily.

Although he was complaining, you could tell from Kobayashi's tone that he was unwilling to give up. It was because he was stopped by the patrolling guards when he was doing the small task, and he felt embarrassed to continue, so he gave up.

"So Aqua now has thirty lives?"

"perhaps."

The crowd kept dodging the shells falling from the sky.

According to Kobayashi's observation, one shell is fired every 10 seconds, with a range of about 100 meters and a bombardment range of 5 meters. Its power is equivalent to that of a small tank.

However, unlike other bosses, three minutes have passed and the shelling hasn't stopped, indicating an astonishingly large ammo capacity. Perhaps, as the final boss, its ammo is unlimited.

As they were speaking, another shell rained down from the sky.

With a loud bang, the stupid goddess who was slumped on the ground wailing was once again blasted into a mosaic, but she revived a few seconds later.

"It seems to be just as I thought."

"That's right!...That's true, but it's no use."

Kazuma Sato was speechless.

Even if the foolish goddess could revive thirty times, they still wouldn't have a way to counter the mobile fortress destroyer.

“Oh, right, the car!” Darkness pointed to a car parked on the side of the street and reminded him, “It’s slow to get to Shibuya, but that can solve the problem, right?!”

"It won't work without a driver! This is completely different from being pulled by a horse or a dragon!"

Kazuma Sato immediately rejected the idea. He was only sixteen, not old enough to take a driving test, and the others, including Kobayashi, couldn't drive at all.

After all, cars in island nations are right-hand drive!

"What do we do?!" The idiotic goddess, now back to normal, cried out in fear, "The Mobile Fortress Destroyer is constantly destroying the city! Isn't there anything we can do?!"

"Okay, in short, Aqua, you go die ten or eight times first."

"Why!"

As soon as Kazuma Sato finished speaking, the idiot goddess loudly questioned him.

It's not that he doesn't understand what Kazuma Sato is thinking; it's just that he's always the one to sacrifice himself for others multiple times in dangerous situations. Now that he has a perfect scapegoat, of course he's going to use him. Especially since the target is Aqua—his happiness is doubled!

"There's no other way, I might as well just die."

"Aqua?"

"Xiaolin, after this is all over, I want to drink some fancy sparkling wine, I want to drink until I throw up!"

"...Okay, I agree."

Aside from matters concerning believers, this was the first time the idiot goddess had gotten so excited, and my opinion of her had changed slightly... provided she didn't start yelling on the battlefield.

"Waaaaah!!! Help me, Kobayashi!!!"
