Ch.32 Collab Stream : "Ranked Match with Suisen-Senpai"

Alright, after a good first impression, let's begin the stream.

"Kon nano. I'm Yukino Suisen, a member of Prisma Ark nano."

"I'm Alpheria Linker, also from Prisma Ark."

"Today I'm going to play 'BreBre' with Alphery nano!"

I waved my hand while giving a wry smile at the excited Suisen-senpai.

: Kon~

: Kon

: So now she has completed "Autumn, Summer, Spring and Winter"

: Sui-chan is unusually excited

: Well, even though it's for a junior, she's openly a fan.

: Did you just say she's conquered all of them???

: So, who do you like the most? Tell me.

: Of course it's Saku-tan. They live in the same house, eat the same food, use the same washing machine, shampoo the same bathtub, breathe the same air. They are practically married.

: Gross

: What did you eat that would make you come up with such a disgusting comment?

: Takashi, your mother is so sad...

: M- Mom! I'm not Takashi.

: Okay then, Gonzales!

: Gonzales is reaching.

: That's right, I'm Gonzales!

: Wait, it's actually Gonzales!!

"Alphery's listeners are as interesting as ever nano."

"It's a gathering place for chimpanzees."

: Uki~! (What did you say?)

: Ukki~! (I'm totally pissed now)

: Ukiki! (Announce the start of the duel, Gonzales!)

: It's time to duel!

: Tettetettetettetettereete ♪

: Let's start strong! De〇n's summoning -- defense position!!! (Sound distortion)

: Damn, I love this vibe

: By 'BreBre' you mean Brave Brain, right? Is the rank difference okay?

"Yeah, there's no problem with the rank. I've already raised it to Master for this."

"As expected nano."

: Ha?

: You must be joking!

: Ranking up is not that easy yo

: Why not do it on stream???

The comments section was filled with surprise at my statement.

"I'm not calling myself Valkyries for no reason. Full Dive action games are my domain."

BreBre ー its official name is Brave Brain.

In this game you can choose from a variety of characters, each with different abilities.

This is an online multiplayer battle royale game in which players explore an increasingly narrowing field, collect items, and defeat the enemy team in an attempt to be the last team standing.

"Well then, let's get started right away nano."

We each start up the game.

The location changed from my room to the lobby of the BreBre.

"Duo is fine, right?"

"Humu."

BreBre is a team battle in which parties of 2 to 4 people fight each other.

In that case, matching would normally be arranged according to the number of people, but in the case of BreBre, it's completely random.

It's not uncommon for Duos and groups of four to clash.

Yeah, if you just listen to this, it definitely sounds like a bad game.

Of course that's not the case so don't worry.

The system supports different numbers of people.

For example, a duo has 1.7 times the HP of a team of four.

When you're attacked from a long distance, you can tell exactly where the attack is coming from.

There are also various other benefits, such as automatic visual support and high ultimate charging efficiency.

On the other hand, a group of four would hardly get this kind of support, so three people is considered the perfect amount. And I agree with that.

But this time it's a collab with Suisen-senpai.

So, all we have to do is win.

"Which character will Alphery use nano?"

Suisen-senpai said as she looked around the lobby.

There were capsule-shaped machines lined up in the lobby, each large enough for one person.

It is similar to the My Room portal and is essentially a character selection screen similar to that found in consumer games.

"I'm picking Gunblader."

"Gunblade..."

"Are you surprised? Well, it's a low tier character after all. But this weapon is the one I feel most comfortable with."

I stand in front of a certain capsule device.

The face and name of a character called Gunblader is displayed at the top.

Once inside the capsule device, a laser passes through from above.

The next moment, my appearance became that of a Gunblader.

Gunblader is a small character with a hood pulled down low over their eyes.

In their right hand is a long sword equipped with a special gimmick, which can be folded to switch to rifle mode.

Well, as mentioned before, the character's tier is low.

It takes a moment to switch between blade mode and rifle mode, and even though it is suitable for both long-range and close-range combat, it has the disadvantage of being inferior in terms of firepower and ease of use.

In short, They're a jack of all trades but master of none.

In team battles, it is generally stronger to specialize in one skill.

At one point, it was so bad that just picking it you would be considered a troll.

"What about Suisen-senpai?"

"I'm picking Wizard."

A girl wearing a tricorn hat, looking very much like a wizard, puffed out her chest proudly.

I remember that wizards were the highest tier if you mastered them.

By the way, the characters in BreBre are referred to by their class names, and they follow the users' gender.

It's a shame because I thought I might be able to return to being a man even if only for a moment.

Well, if you can change gender in full dive, well, yeah, right?

It is easy to imagine a mass outbreak of catfishes and the poor men who are deceived by them.

There's gonna be no end to the catfish with nicknames like Asuna.

ーI (25 years old man, unemployed, virgin) will protect Asuna (33 years old man, unemployed, virgin) !

Hmm, That's a brutal depiction.

After a short wait, the electronic display board informed us that the matchmaking is complete.

The screen goes dark.

After a brief moment of floating, we were in a flying battleship.

Spread out below us is a battlefield with a sci-fi feel.

Looking at the other battleships, we could see a few players quickly jumping out of their battleships.

"Suisen-senpai. Can I leave the IGL and other things to you? I became a Master based on specs alone, so my knowledge is quite shallow."

"Humu. Leave it to me nano."

She's reliable.

To put it in terms of FPS games, it's like I'm getting ahead just by aiming.

I don't know where is the best place to get off, what items are strong, etc.

In fact, i can't even remember the skills of each character.

"Going nano."

"Understood."

Following Suisen-senpai's signal, we jump off the battleship.

: A common scene in FPS games

: doing that in full dive is really scary though.

: I'd love to play the game, but I'm scared of heights so I can't (´;ω;｀)

: You can change it to quick transition in the settings.

: Really!!!???

: Well, the placement is random so you can't choose the place you want to.

Mechanical wings unfold on our back and its thrusters ignite.

This makes the falling speed faster and also makes it possible to correct the trajectory slightly.

"Let's go here nano."

A spot of light appeared on one of the buildings in view.

It was the ping from Suisen-senpai.

"Okay. I'll start from the top."

"Top……?"

The building is constructed like a spire.

There's no rooftop.

So I accelerated, set my sights on the top floor, and dashed through the open window.

: Huh?

: What was that just now?

: Is that even possible?!

: No way, no way. Wing acceleration is easily 150km/h, and the degree of freedom is low, right? Fine-tuning is just impossible.　

: She performs these miracles as easily as breathing.

: And the person in question has a straight face, as if that's normal.

"That's so, so, so cool...! I want to do it next time nano!"

Suisen-senpai's excited voice echoed in my head.

It's through voice chat.

"Please don't crash against the wall, okay?"

Fall damage and stuff like that is normal.

The wings attached to our back disappear.

That's a feature that's only available when you exit the battleship or use the fly tower.

The first thing I did after breaking in from the top floor was to wait.

I go silent and listen carefully.

Then, I heard the faint sound of countless footsteps coming from downstairs.

"There are some footsteps coming from inside the building. They're coming this way."

"Hmm, the transition group nano."

I guess so.

They probably got transported to the middle floor of this building.

"I will handle this on my own, so please prioritize securing supplies, Suisen-senpai."

"Okay. I trust you nano."

: No, that's too reckless. It's Master Rank.

: Ah, this is no good. Definitely a fail.

: Even if you try to escape, if you jump, you'll take fall damage.

: I thought it was a revolution! But it was actually a bad move.

: I don't know. I don't think they know that someone's on the top floor.

: I see. Even if someone came up with that kind of entrance, no one would even think of doing it.

: So Alphery can launch surprise attacks at will.

"That's right. As long as we win, it's fine. As long as we win."

I quiet my footsteps as I open the item box on the floor.

Hmm.

"Potions and... banneeno peel."

: The pronunciation lol

: Just call it a banana peel normally please

I quickly placed a banana peel at the entrance to the floor and looked up above.

 There's nothing.

"...Okay. Suisen-senpai, could you please shoot a spell outside after the countdown? Anywhere you like will do."

"? Okay nano"

"Here we go. Three, two, one --"

I jumped.

As an explosion echoes from outside, I thrust my long sword into the ceiling.

There was a corresponding noise, but it must have been drowned out by the explosions.

I hanged upside down using my long sword as a perch and placed my feet on the ceiling.

Standby mode complete.

: She looks like she's so used to doing it.

: It has a professional feel to it

: It's crazy how she can instantly come up with clever strategies for a game she has no knowledge of.

The sound of footsteps gradually gets closer.

Alright, it seems like they haven't noticed.

Moreover, since the explosion came from outside, the opposing team would naturally put their guard on the outside.

My prediction turned out to be spot on.

The three of them visited the top floor in search of supplies.

Saber, Lancer, and Gunner.

They had no idea that I was hiding here, and Saber, who was in the lead, stepped on a banana peel and fell over.

"Wh-what's banneeno peel doing here?!"

: Why is this guy calling it Banneeno too? lol

: If you pour yogurt and honey over baneeno, it's so delicious you'll fly away.

: Banneeno

: Banneeno

At the same time I pulled out my long sword, I kicked the ceiling, launching a surprise attack.

I aimed at the gunner.

However, Lancer intervened before the blade could be swung down to decapitate his head.

As expected of master rank. 

Thet make quick decisions.

But the grip is weak.

With a snap of my wrist, I entangled the tip of the spear and the spear slipped out of Lancer's hand.

"Eh? Huh?"

By the time he asked this question, Lancer's head was already spinning in the air.

"One."

 I glanced at Saber.

He was in a hurry to get up.

In that case, I guess I should eliminate the gunner first.

I fold my long sword and close the distance between me and the gunner while firing warning shots at the saber.

Not to be outdone, the gunner fought back.

Swallowing my injuries to a certain extent, I stepped left and right, unfold my long sword and slashed away.

"Two."

I turn around, swinging my long sword and blocking Saber's blow.

 *Ding!* A high-pitched, deep bass sound and an impact spurted out.

It was the sound of a successful guard.

Ahh, What a refreshing sound.

There are also other moves like just dodge and just parry, and if you act at the right time, your ult will be charged.

We slash at each other three, four, and five times.

The moment I made myself stumble, Saber's figure disappeared, leaving an afterimage behind.

It's Saber's unique skill, "Extreme Speed."

Saber quickly got behind me, butー

"Hebu?!"

Saber was slammed into the ceiling with such force as if she had been on a trampoline.

It was due to my - or rather Gunblader's - unique skill, "Reflector."

The fact that the size of "Reflector" is only slightly larger than a handkerchief is one of the reasons why Gunblader's characters are ranked so low.

"Three!"

 The final blow. The third kill.

"You've got to be kidding me, we're so easily...!"

"There is only one reason for your defeat. It's the Banneeno."

"You, damn it...! Damn you banneeno! I'm gonna make you my breakfast!!!"

With a final cry of resentment towards the banana, Saber shattered into pieces like a piece of glass.

: Nah, They acted so good that I laughed

: That's true.

: Saber, you're suited to be a streamer.

: It was so cool but his last word is so bad.

: Is there such a lame catchphrase???

: Banneeno

: Banneeno

When a player is killed, they will drop any items they were carrying.

I'm going to Suisen-senpai after collecting the items she needed. 

I head towards the meet up point.
