A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 6: Girl Meets Boy (5)

Chapter 6: Girl Meets Boy (5)

This was a topic that had already come up several times among the three childhood friends, so Sophie seemed embarrassed but gave a familiar answer.

"Hey, what did I... It's nothing special. "You guys have achieved that level of ability, right?"

"It's the other abilities, though. The only one with high magical power was Sophie. "Me and Runon were just normal."

In this world, everyone has magical powers. However, many people can only use basic everyday magic, such as cleansing their bodies or making a cup of water.

Furthermore, in order to become a proper wizard who can attack and defend with magic, one must have more magical power than ordinary people.

That's what Kiven is talking about.

"Kiven is right. I said it last time, but you..."

As Runon joined in, the room suddenly became a place for the three childhood friends to chat.

...

...

"Ah! Sorry! We just talked about it. "It wasn't fun, right?"

After talking among themselves for a while, Sophie remembered that I was with her and became embarrassed and apologized.

"No, it was worth listening to."

These weren't empty words, but surprisingly, they were really worth listening to. At first, it started with using a simple status scroll found in a warehouse, then other old stories began, and later, I could even hear local rumors about what was happening these days.

This is almost like an old lady's talk. Even though I only talked about useless things, I was able to get valuable information out of the conversation here and there.

From what I heard, Runon and Sophie were originally friendly, but Kiven got involved. Since they have been together for over 10 years, other people and themselves think that the three of them are childhood friends, but Runon and Sophie are said to have been together for a bit longer.

Another story was that a warrior born with a mission to fight against the devil's army and defeat him appeared. It's a familiar story to me.

This would mean that Serena, who was set as an achievement character feature, has already started her activities as a hero. I've heard that when she plays a new character for a main episode, she may look a little different from when she started.

And now important information for me. Apparently, the goblin she met in the forest was not just a passing goblin, and she received information that there seemed to be a proper nest.

After talking for a while about what happened today, Runon said this to me.

"We were busy digging up herbs, but since there were three people, of course we kept looking around. We are adults too, but would we have thought nothing of it when we went into the forest where we were told not to enter? That's because there's something called a boundary that I learned while running through the forest for ten years. "I couldn't see any traces of the dangerous guy inside."

"But those goblins suddenly appeared. There are 9 of them and you can't see them? Did it really suddenly appear as if it was rising from the ground?"

It seemed like Runon wanted to complain to me about how unfair they had been today, but I knew.

Goblins rise from the ground.

To be precise, if the nest that a goblin builds is underground, a goblin jumping out of the nest may appear as if it is rising from the ground. This is something I've experienced a few times in previous plays.

So, when Runon says that goblins suddenly appeared, it means that there is a high possibility that there is a goblin nest nearby.

However, if you believe that it wasn't such a dangerous place to begin with, the size of the nest wouldn't be that big. There was no terrain around there that could accommodate a large nest.

From the beginning, goblins are the only thing that stands out in terms of numbers. Even if it was a small nest, there wouldn't be 9 of them in total. But it won't be a light blow.

If I were to exterminate goblins myself, I pushed the information that would be useful to a corner of my memory and finished organizing the room and arranging the bedding.

"It took longer than I thought."

"Kiven, it's because you suddenly bring up old stories."

"Sophie. Why do you do this to me? You and Runon had fun talking together!"

I felt like the endless chatter would continue if I just listened quietly, so I hung up and went in.

"Next time, I want to go to the Adventurer's Guild. Are there any?"

Fortunately, Kiven answered right away, as if he had not forgotten his purpose of guiding me.

"Of course. It's not that far away. Let's go right away."

Runon went to help with the work as he had heard from his father, and Sophie also said she was going to her house, so they parted ways.

"But why are you going to the adventurer's guild, Soira? She is a famous adventurer after all, right? I haven't seen it, but Runon said it's very strong?"

Runon didn't see anything in particular either... Seeing as they said they had caught at most a few goblins, it seemed like this place was quite far behind the front line against the Demon King's army.

As you get closer to the front line, the number of monsters increases and people become more stubborn. When the Demon King's army invaded, and I saw a child who looked to be in the single digits carrying arrows while wyverns were flying in the sky, even I, who knew this was a game, became solemn.

Apart from that, it is true that I am strong.

As I said to Runon's father, it is enough to protect myself. In this world where monsters and thieves are rampant as soon as you get a little far from the village.

Since I just started the game, my proficiency with various weapons is still at F, but I have experience playing this game to research it and the fighting skills I learned to become physically stronger in real life, so even if I walk around in my underwear, I can solve most problems with my strength. .

I tried it once before. I was able to fight 1:1 with a thief wearing only underwear and holding a weapon with my bare hands and win.

"A famous adventurer, that's not it. Of course, that will happen soon, but right now I'm just on my way to becoming an adventurer, right?"

"Not yet? That's just as amazing. If you're not an adventurer, why are you wandering outside the village? "A woman alone."

This is a question that is likely to arise. But it's not like I've only tried WM once or twice. There is an answer I have thought of in advance regarding my origin.

"Where I lived was a much smaller place. "There was no adventurer's guild, so I left the village to become an adventurer."

"And you ended up not knowing your way around the forest? "No matter how confident you are in your skills, aren't you reckless?"

Oh. Is that how it happens? Now that I think about it, I forgot that I had made up an excuse that I was lost to follow me to the village.

The Adventurer's Guild announced that they would like to join the new group.

"You want to sign up for a new one? Since our branch is small, we cannot provide ID cards, and we can only issue temporary cards. Would that be okay? Do you need to explain what a temporary card is?"

"Are you okay. Because I know. "Please at least do that."

The adventurer card can be used as a means of identification. In big cities, you may be asked for identification when checking, and it can often be used in such cases.

However, of course, if there is a problem while proving it to anyone, the adventurer's guild's credibility may drop, so only if you reach a certain rank will you be given a seal that can be used as identification.

The fact that you cannot prove your identity at this branch means that even if you increase your rank based on your performance in this village, you will not be able to receive a seal to prove your identity.

It's probably a good thing for me as I'm leaving this town soon.

"Then, please write your name and race here. I need to take a picture, so just go to the room over there and take a picture."

In fact, photos are not necessary when creating original adventurer cards. It was also a worldview in which cameras did not exist in the first place. Then why was the camera created?

Of course, that's because I added it as a setting.

That's even worse!!

Since ancient times, erotic status requires naked images, and when taking erotic photos, photos of one's daily self must also be taken.

How do you endure the disgust you feel when comparing the everyday images you see on a daily basis with the extremely secret, erotic images that no one should be able to see?

Men say they find it boring while watching pornographic videos or doujinshi with such content, but women also find it ugly depending on their tastes. If it wasn't exciting in the first place, there would be no such thing as an SNS back account.

However, it is too risky to do in reality. If even one of them spreads anywhere, it will die socially in an instant.

So I put it in. To the game. Because it sucks.

Preparatory work for that now. Since I'm just taking pictures, I'll just go back later.

Name: Soira. Race, human. Write down two things and go to the designated room.

Kiven... I glanced at her and saw that she was talking to an adventurer in the guild who seemed to know her. I guess she thinks it will take a while.

The room where the photos were taken was already ready.

There was a camera on a tripod, a circle drawn as if to indicate that photos could be taken here, and a man who appeared to be a photographer.

Do you need a separate person to just take one picture? The staff member earlier could do it for you. I had my doubts, but I decided to do it. That could be so.

"Hello. "Miss Soira?"

"Yes. "I heard I could take pictures here."

"That's right. Then, just stand on the circle over there."

I did as I was told and stood on the circle and looked at the camera.

"Can I just film it like this? "There's nothing else you need, right?"

"You can pose if you want, but it won't mean much since it will only show from the chest up anyway. Are you going to do it?"

"No. Please just take pictures like this."

"Okay then, please look at the camera carefully. It may be a bit blinding. However, if you close your eyes, we will have to take the picture again, so be careful not to close your eyes."

In reality, this is something you commonly hear when you go to any photo studio. Actually, if you have a tool called a camera and a job called a photographer, there isn't much of a difference.

"Let's take a picture~ One, two, three!"

Flash!

The flash flashed with a clicking sound, and at the same time, the circle under my feet also lit up.

"Huh?"

"Why are you doing that? I'll take another shot. One, two, three!"

Flash!

I saw it clearly this time. The circle glowed. What is it?

"Hey. What is this under my feet? "It keeps shining?"

"Ah, that? This is a newly released assistive device. They say that the camera works at the same time and allows for better pictures. "I don't know the details, but they said it was a new technology, so I tried it."

Is it? Certainly, seeing that it operates at the same time as the camera seems to be connected to something. I set it up, but I don't know how it is applied specifically. If so, that's probably it.

"I'll take one last shot. One, two, three!"

Flash!
