Ch.101 "500 Floors RTA Stream : Lower Floors" 6
"180 floors in four days... right..."
"It's a simple calculation, but we need to clear 45 floors per day."
"Impossible... Is what I want to say."
"Haru-sama can do it!"
"No, I don't think that's possible. No matter how much you told me i can do whatever I want."
"But!"
"I said it's impossible."
[lol]
[Haru-chan cutting her off]
[Well, yeah...]
[The reality that only Haru-chan can understand]
[It's a problem that goes beyond ability.]
If only I had been able to move a few days earlier...
I mean... since then, the floor has gotten ridiculously large.
What?
When I checked it with the measuring equipment Lili-san had brought with her, we found out that at 319th floor, one floor above, the distance from the stairs going up to the stairs going down was 20 kilometers.
20 kilometers.
The distance of a half marathon.
I can't do that... Even though I can defeat most monsters in one hit, my stamina is too limited.
See, I've been carried all this time.
From the 8th day onwards, I was basically sitting on this moving chair except when attacking.
Chair?
Probably a chair.
It's based on an ordinary chair you'd find in a school... it's been modified to look like something from a sci-fi movie, but at the end of the day, it's still looking like a chair.
The creator's sense shines through.
In a bad way.
The performance is good but the appearance is...
"Haru-chan, this."
"? Oh, the chair looking thing."
Ruru-san points to the comfortable chair.
"A chair...?"
"It's a chair... probably..."
Everyone shakes their heads.
Because no one knows.
[I wonder what that is, really]
[It's floating around...]
[What is this!]
[What happened to the Destroyer?]
[lol]
The flying chair was really comfortable to sleep on.
I would definitely like to have one when I get back, but what is this?
"I was watching it with Ruru last night. There was an instruction manual inside. ...Well, it's more of a memo than an instruction manual."
"Haa..."
"That Onii-san with the girl?"
"... Seems like that is the case."
For some reason, Lili-san, who seemed to be hostile towards those two... who kept trying to talk to her, had lowered the tone of her voice a little.
I guess Lili-san is like Cuyp who has quite strong likes and dislikes for people.
"Haru-chan"
"Yes?"
"Ride it."
"Yes. ...Huh?"
"Ride it."
"Ah, yes."
Ruru-san urges me on with a confused look on her face.
I don't really understand what's going on, but I'll try not to make her angry.
[Yeah... well, I guess so...]
[During last night's meeting, I wasn't sure whether it was true or not until the very end...]
[I don't think it's a lie, considering the situation]
[But if this were to be realized]
"Yoi."
When I'm about to ride it, it quickly dropped in altitude and landed on the ground.
After I'm on it, it floats up gently.
... Again, isn't this just too convenient?
Above all, it's incredibly comfortable to sleep on...I want to take it home somehow.
Take it home.
Because this... will overcome all of my physical handicaps as a little girl.
It's not a bicycle or an electric skateboard, it's something much more amazing.
"But if I have to go at my fastest, then I really shouldn't ride-"
"It's fine, it's fine. ...Um, is it around here?"
"I think so..."
she rummages around under the sci-fi, floating chair looking thing and I stare blankly at Ruru-san's butt.
"...Ah, there it is."
『Switch to combat mode』
"!?"
[lol]
[Haru-chan is surprised]
[She was incredibly agile just now.]
[Wow... So Haru-chan can move that fast...]
[She's definitely a cat]
[Yeah……]
[Haru-chan the Stray Cat!]
...I was surprised.
"Ruru-sama? The volume was so loud that it startled Haru-sama."
"Oh, yeah, can you forgive me?"
[Lili-chan is scolding her]
[Her obsession with Haru-chan is too strong]
[In a different way from Ruru-chan]
If I look closely, I can see what looks like a speaker on the eaves above the chair.
『Please keep a distance of at least 1 meter from the side. Transformation in 10 seconds. 8, 7...』
"Transformation?"
What is that? Sounds fun.
[Haru-chan excited]
[Her eyes are shining]
[They glow like when she ate mushrooms]
[Haru-chan is manly at times like this.]
[I understand]
"Ah ugh"
There was a big impact, and in a panic, Ruru-san crawled out and squirmed away.
...That looks painful.
[lol]
[It feels like it's been a while since I'vee seen Ruru-chan's misfortune]
[Me too]
[It's just her being clumsy though]
[But it feels nostalgic somehow]
But...huh?
What about me?
Is it okay for me to stay in this chair?
Is it okay?
Won't it get flat when it transforms?
[Haru-chan looks around restlessly]
[She didn't hear the explanation yesterday, of course this would happened.]
[There are functions that can only be performed when Haru-chan is on board...]
[That's thorough.]
[Cute]
『――0』
After the countdown is finished, there is a rustling sound and vibration.
"……………………………………?"
Has something changed?
"...This is..."
"Haru-sama, it seems that in combat mode the front and back are reversed."
Reverse?
I turn around.
...There's something like a platform at my feet.
It's just big enough for me to stand up and rest my elbows on it.
"...Ah, you can mount a gun on this."
If I look closely, I can see that it also comes with some nice fixing devices.
This is good.
[Ohh]
[It's amazing... but what is this?]
[I wonder what this is...]
[Chair?]
[No, definitely not a chair right now...]
[Is it a flying one-seater motorcycle like the ones you see in movies?]
[But there are no tires?]
[It still has four legs, right?]
[If you're not careful when landing, it could be disastrous]
[Then is it a chair afterall?]
[A chair...]
[A chair will do... We don't really know anyway...]
It seems that viewers are also confused.
While Emi-san was talking to the viewers, I spun around in my chair...and the cushion I'd been resting my back on had also changed shape.
There's some kind of foothold and a railing... doesn't this seem like a failure?
Is it something different?
[... Propeller-less transport pod]
[That's it]
[The kind you see in sci-fi movies]
[There's something strange about this technology.]
If I turn towards the platform again, a handle is popping out.
Ah, it looks like it's easy to use.
"--With this, Haru-sama will be able to conquer at any speed you like."
"Lili-san?"
Just when I thought it was shaking a little, Lili-san came climbing onto a platform that had been created on the back of the chair... bike.
"Hey, that's not fair! ...hoi... we too!"
"With this, the maximum speed is... 200 km/h... I'm kidding, but you can move around without getting tired."
"Ruru-san, Emi-san."
A floating chair (bike) that doesn't sag even when three people ride on it.
Eh?
Is this what it means?
"...So this is where we say goodbye."
"? Kushima-san?"
As we floated about, Kushima-san and the others were looking at us from the ground with slightly lonely looks on their faces.
"The manual says... well, 『We anticipated something like this happening, so we've created a next-generation vehicle that doesn't require refueling. As for controls... if you're from the gaming generation, you'll be able to do it with just a few touches, and voice recognition should be sufficient. You can also do most things by shifting your weight.』"
"『It's pretty fuzzy... I've programmed it so that it will work even with random expressions. So, if you need to solve things quickly, do your best.』 Is what it said."
"Hohee~"
[Cute]
[Cute]
[Haru-chan is so cute when she's impressed]
[Ahh... I can see her honest praise for knowledge.]
[She love books, afterall]
[Book-loving Haru-chan]
[But, I see. Haru-chan doesn't know that Kushima-saan and the others are returning.]
Wow, this chair looking thing is amazing.
But... huh?
Goodbye?
