Ch.102 "500 Floors RTA Stream : Lower Floors" 7

"Um, goodbye?"

My brain can't keep up.

I did think, "Kushima-san seems like she can still fit on this, but the others will have to run," and it seems that the people who are still here are very strong...and above all, we've been together for over a week, so I at least remember their faces.

While I was thinking that, there was also a part of me that thought, "But I think we'll be able to complete it quicker if they go back."

Just as I was realizing this, someone called out to me again.

"Haru-san"

"Kushima-san."

"It seems that this vehicle will move just as you want it to. So, a non-combatant like me would be a hindrance."

"No, but…"

I want Kushima-san to stay.

However, I also understands that "Kushima-san must be scared, yes she still came here."

"We have four days left to conquer the 180th floor. To accomplish such an amount of work, it's best to travel lightly. Besides, there's no more space left in the vehicle."

"……………………………………"

...That's certainly true.

Even though we don't know what will happen if we fail this RTA made by No Name-san, but if we can't beat it, we obviously won't be able to reach the "Fountain"...which appears to be the Wishing Fountain.

When we get there, I would say, "Stop bullying Ruru-san"...I'm sure it'll listen to me a little, but there's no telling when it'll do it again depending on No Name-san's mood.

No Name-san is something I don't really understand.

But I'm sure that what I said at the Wishing Fountain...I'm not sure if it was No Name-san, but someone or something probably grant it, and I'm sure it won't bring it up again.

So we have to continue.

Everyone have brought me this far, I'm not going to go home empty-handed now.

[Chiho-chan...]

[And many others...]

[Isn't that terrible?]

[It can't be helped, I don't call anyone by their name other than Haru-chan, Ruru Emi Lili Kushima-saan in the first place]

[Don't say "Kusima-saan" there, it'll make people laugh]

[It ruined a touching scene!!]

[lol]

"Okay, then wait for us"

"...Haru-san"

After Kushima-san declared that she would stay behind, everyone looked down.

I don't really like that kind of thing.

"We'll come back after conquering it properly. All four of us."

"……I'll be waiting"

"Yes. I promise."

[Wow!]

[Haru-chan is so cool]

[It's amazing how quickly she can say that at a time like this.]

[Amazing little girl]

[She's an amazing little girl except when she's sleepy]

[But I'm relieved... everyone has been feeling down since last night]

[Right?]

[Apart from Haru-chan who is sleeping peacefully]

[We could hear her sleeping noises when everyone was feeling down]

[Because Haru-chan is special...]

[Because Haru-chan is an airhead...]

[Because Haru-chan is an angel...]

"So we're going back with our wristbands."

"Okay"

"Hopefully, Haru-san can reach the destination safely. If not, I hope you can return home safely."

"Yes. You don't have to worry..."

I can barely bear seeing Kushima-san cry.

As a man, it's bound to hurt to see a younger girl cry for real.

But.

"I'll try my best to avoid worrying you as much as possible."

[lol]

[Why are you going there, Haru-chan?]

[Is she a politician who won't commit to anything?]

[Well, it's admirable that you don't make promises you can't keep, Haru-chan...]

"...Haha, that's typical of you, Haru-san."

"Is that bad?"

"No?"

She was chatting a few words with the people behind her and was smiling for the first time.

"--I'm looking forward to talking with you again."

With that said, everyone is using their wristbands at once.

"... They've gone back."

"Yeah……"

"Everyone……"

A space that becomes silent and quiet.

...Even if no one is talking, just knowing that someone is here makes me feel safe, with their presence, breathing, body temperature, smell, and even the smallest sounds.

The number suddenly got halved.

From 10 people to 5 people. (TL : 5? Did she count the chair too?)

Just us.

...It's gotten quiet.

[Ahh……]

[It's all over...]

[Kushima-saan has gone home...]

[Other mobs too...]

[No, those who remained were the extremely famous people from the top 15 to 223 in the country, you know!]

[lol]

[Top rankers treated as mobs]

[The people themselves were happy, so it's fine, right?]

[They said, "As long as Haru-chan pays attention to me, that's fine."]

[Ahh... Haru-chan faith is spreading among the top ranks...]

"Well, let's go."

After Emi-san was exposed for being a pervert, she stopped giving instructions so actively.

Ruru-san has always had a tendency to wait for instructions.

If Lili-san wasn't given a direction, she'll sniff my hair and get really noisy.

Huh?

Am I the leader here?

"I'm not used to driving, so please hold on tight."

"Y-yes..."

"Oh, please be gentle... I get motion sickness on the bus and stuff..."

"Sniff sniff sniff"

"You're too close, Lili-san."

"Ahn♥"

[lol]

[Lili-chan...]

[Y-you see, it's her savior...]

[That alone is no excuse for her perversion]

[Which one is it, Emi-chan or her?]

[Emi-chan is closed, Lili-chan is open]

[I see]

[Ruru-chan isisisisisisisisisisisisisis]

[Oops, you can't do that]

[lol]

[Ruru-chan is still No Name-chan's favorite]

As I pushed Lili-san's face away, which was too close, the other two started squirming to the right and left.

"...There is a railing around the platform"

"Oh, there's also a safety rope here, Emi-chan."

"It's supposed to be a luggage storage area, but it doesn't look like it will come off easily."

Hmm.

The chair-like thing transformed, and the back of the chair became a pedestal where I could place a gun or something...oh, I guess the fact that the cushions are gone is also a part of the transformation function...and the area at the foot of the chair that used to be a reclining part became a platform for Lili-san to stand on.

Then, Ruru-san and Emi-san popped out to the left and right, in spaces that were just for luggage.

"...A chair?"

"Since the creator calls it a chair, let's call it a chair."

"I would have chosen a cuter name..."

"I would call it 'Haru-sama's throne'."

"Please stop that."

There was a clang... It's probably them using the rope to secure luggage as a belt.

"...Then, let's fly."

[How can a chair f-]

[It flew!?]

[lol]

[How many times has that happened?]

[This is the signal of them starting the dive.]

[What is this!]

[Oh, I'm glad the Broken One is still doing well.]

The chair is floating up.

"…… Ohh~"

[Cute]

[Cute]

[Haru-chan is slowly turning around, feeling a bit scared]

[Lili-chan watches from behind, ecstatic, while holding Haru-chan's hair]

[EmiRuru seems more scared than anything else]

[Of course]

[Putting Lili-chan aside, it sure is scary... floating up like that.]

"Haru-chan, go slower..."

"No, we won't be able to move if we do that. ...It's certainly scary, though..."

"I want to spin around!"

[lol]

[Lili-chan is gone now...]

[I love Ruru-chan's frightened face]

[I understand]

[Seeing a lively kid get scared is... so... tempting...]

【Understanding】

【Understanding】

[Do you really understand, No Name-chan?]

[lol]

[Too assertive]

[Emi's legs are shaking as she tries to stay calm]

[It's good that she's strong-willed and doesn't care about being found out as a pervert]

[Good……]

"I'll be careful about accelerating and decelerating as much as possible. It'll be fine, I'm good at cycling."

Ruru-san and Emi-san are scared.

I mean, of course they would, this thing is floating.

So I have to be a man and not scare the girls I'm giving a ride to.

If I don't show my manliness in places like this, people will forget that I'm a man.

[Haru-chan, you can ride a bicycle?!]

[How skillful]

[She said she's good at it, so she probably won't fall...]

[Well, this chair won't tip over like a bicycle...right?]

[I-it should be kay...]

[But it's so big, comparing it to elementary school-level bike is]

"So, accelerate just a little?"

It felt like we accelerated...or rather, I felt like we're flying.

This is that.

It's the same momentum as the homemade rocket I used for Ruru-san, which I had adjusted incorrectly.

"Gyaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Hii..."

"Sniff sniff sniff sniff"

[lol]

[Haru-chan...]

[Why are you suddenly going full throttle, Haru-chan?]

[Haru-chan is surprisingly sadistic]

[No, she's just an airhead.]

[Right]

[There's no way Haru-chan could come up with such an idea.]

"HIEEEEEEE STOOOOOOOOP!"

Ruru-san is screaming, but because we're moving so quickly, we're in the next room in no time.

So, if something moved, that means there are monsters.

"Sorry, but I'm going to shoot the monsters since they got in range."

"……………………………………"

"……………………………………"

"Ah, Emi-sama... she lost consciousness and her upper body... and Ruru-sama too..."

[Ruru-chan is screaming]

[Emi-chan is unconscious]

[Of course, this is clearly going over 60km/h]

[From floating around to this acceleration in an instant]

[But Haru-chan and Lili-chan are too calm]

[Oh, she's still hitting headshots even while moving over 60 km/h]

[What is this...? (impressed)]

[Lili-chan leans forward and goes back into position]

[Kind]

[Wasn't it just so she can continue her sniffing...]

[But it's still Haru-chan after all.]

[It's Haru-chan, right?]

[Yeah, she's always going to do something!]

【♪】

[Are you happy, No Name-chan?]

[lol]

[A depressing comment section doesn't suit Haru-chan, afterall!]
