Chapter 4 - Rule Number
10/Convergence Method
Part 1
Capital of Elchea - Elchea's King City
The two Iames
However, there was an additionalface present
”——Why——why can't I win, des!?”
The Keirl dressed up in a ki her
black hair——she was Izuna
What she held in her hands was the DSP that the siblings brought from
another world
”Hahaha, this is originally fro out all the variables
and thoroughly studied the game, we are like TAS players
[12]
There is no
way you can beat us that easily~”
”Izuna-chan, give upLike thisMuch to learn”
Sora and shi+ro laughed Sora was currently controlling the DSP's left side
while shi+ro controlled the right side of the DSP They were playing using
weird methods
They'd only brought two consoles from the other world, so they had to make
do with this
Although it looked to be a handicap, to shi+ro and Sora, this reflected their
true abilities as a two-in-one gamer
”I won't give up, des! One more time, des!”
”Okay okay, keep those challenges coht? shi+ro”
”Izuna-chanToo reliant on eyesNeedPredict”
”Oi, shi+ro, don't spoilIzuna! You have to master that technique on your
own!”
The throne hall was full of lively sounds, when suddenly someone dashed in,
albeit panicky
”So, So So So Sora! We've a problem!”
——these few days, Steph painstakingly ran errands everywhere in order to
accommodate the sudden increase of territories due to the Eastern Union
Steph seemed to be out of breath, but Sora's eyes didn't leave the handheld
console
”Whoa~ what happened? Steph”
”How could you be so relaxed and carefree? We're getting pushed into a
corner by the Eastern Union!”
Steph was carrying an unusual look——Sora merely smiled and replied:
”During the competition, the Eastern Union withdrew their talent and
technology froht?”
”Nuu, ahEh?”
Sora was spot on
Steph was stunned because Sora already knew the situation
Yes——the Eastern Union indeed obliged to the Oaths and handed out
[Everything on their continent]
Just before the beginning of the game, the Eastern Union removed all
technology, equip
Imanity who desperately needed these resources for their survival
This didn't violate the Oaths, as what Sora requested was [Everything on their
continent], so it wouldn't include those items that were not in the continent
Upon seeing Sora laugh while saying this, Steph asked:
”You, you knew all along?”
Sora absently replied, his eyes still glued to the game:
”Yes, or should I say——because I wanted this to happen, I requested
[Everything on their continent]”
”——Wh, what is going on? We can't fully utilise the territories like this”
If this happened, they would have only [Gotten] land
The Eastern Union's developed facilities for agriculture couldn't be used at this
rate
In fact, they only required the knowledge froh it
would take time, it shouldn't have any problems
But taking into account the food crisis Elchea was currently facing, getting
those facilities would be better
Then, Sora said out these words:
”Don't worry——the game has yet to end”
”Ha, has yet to end?”
After being close to death, the game hadn't ended yet——?
Depending on thebehind that sentence, Steph considered whether or
not to pass out in front of him
”Sora-san, may I interrupt?”
At this time, a new face entered the hall
An old haka Werebeast——Hatsuse Ino
”Oh, it ca”
”As if you knohat I have”
”Its not as if, I already know it——the letter froht?”
”Ye, yesSent using the express way”
Sora opened the letter handed to him
It ritten in Ie
Sorato even read it
”Jibril”
”Here!”
Responding to Sora's call, Jibril appeared fro in front of
him
”Could you space transfer into the capital of the Eastern Union?”
”Yes, I can——how did you know?”
Jibril widened her eyes Sora did not explain and merely smiled
”The Eastern Union's sole representative——[Miko] summoned us, so we
need to head there”
Sora casually uttered out However, both Izuna and Ino reacted to those
words and were stunned
”Mi, Miko-sama summoned you !?”
”Yeah, what about it? Is it that surprising?”
”Of course it's surprising——”
——[Miko]
This name was known to all The person who united the countless islands of
Werebeasts tribe to form the Eastern Union
In just half a century, she successfully rose the ranks of the Werebeasts to
third place in ter God to the
Werebeasts
That kind of person——summoned Sora?
However, Jibril laughed and replied with a co
”Of course it is surprising, Master They cut off their resources and still dare
to [Suh the positions are reversed, this is simply
ridiculous She should just personally come here herself”
Jibrils so, which prolare
at her
To the Werebeasts, she was probably that kind of existence, but Sora——
”No, Jibril They probably knee had you, so they [Summoned] us Which
ency that requires my immediate presence”
Sora said while laughing Ino hesitated before saying again:
”——you see”
Sora s up shi+ro as on his lap, Sora stood up and
said:
”Okay, grab onto Jibril, we are o to paradise on earth
——Kemonomimi land!”
Jibrilspread her wings to respond to Sora's words
”Then——because it is a long-distance space transfer, please don't let go and
fasten your seat belts Also, if you feel any physical discomfort aside from
Masters, taking off your clothes would stop it Ah, Masters shouldn't hesitate
too——”
”Jibril, that's enough, let's go”
With her crystal-like eyes, Jibrilread out the knowledge from Sora's tablet
However, probably because Sora couldn't wait to reach the Kemonomimi
kingdoed Jibril
”I' distance space transfer, I
need some preparation time”
Jibril cals wide open
The geonificantly picked up speed and rotated while her
wings elow
The scenery began to shake——then, space gradually became distorted
”——!”
”This is——ah!”
Ino and Izuna used their hands to cover their ears
Huic, would feel the pressure of the
co difficulties
As to what the Werebeasts would perceive with their superior five senses,
Sora didn't know
But as for those people who could control ic——Fii, for example,
so unpleasant would happen——
Those present would lose consciousness due to the huge amount of
co the air
Then——Jibril's ahtly opened
Her eyes were looking at a distant place She then said:
”Okay, the destination is [Capital of the Eastern Union], Miko's home——
[The atriu]”
Hearing Jibril's announce to [Jump into the center of Miko's
residence], Ino protested——
”Distance is 452721km(2813miles), time 0023 seconds To both
Werebeasts, this may be a far cry from a comfortable journey, but don't
worry and enjoy it?”
Without a chance to speak out——
The vieas cut off, accolass——
The scenery——itched
Part 2
”Ouchhhhh”
Probably affected by the space transfer, Sora held his sore head and looked
around
——it was a japanese garden rese their previous world's
Southeast Asian look-a-like architecture surrounded the place, and in the
black sky, pink lights illu
into the center of [Miko's hoe
The buildings and walls surrounding the area made it hard to see the town
The nuhts The trees blocked the
lights, for black colours
”Ah, right, there's a time difference”
Sora realised that it was currently nighttime here
”——eh?”
Then, there was the sight of Izuna and Ino sprawling on the ground
Sora and shi+ro also held onto their slightly pained heads, before looking
around
Jibril clasped her hands together in prayer, silently i to her Master that
[They had arrived]
”Jibril, what's wrong with Ino and Izuna?”
”As I've said earlier, it will be an uncomfortable journey for them due to their
superior five senses They probably heard the extreh-frequency
sound during the space transfer, so that's why they've become like this”
”Wuuu, fortunately we are too weak to not feel your race's pains”
Ino held down his ears and painfully stood up
”Are you insane! There is a limit to how much you can defy the laws of
physics! da to Miko-sama's sacred home
without infor, how much do you want to look down on people before
you are satisfied?!”
Hearing Ino shout this out, Sora thought :[Is there a need to even ask these
questions?]
”Old , calm down a bit, it's only just——”
Sora couldn't stand it and retorted, but then Izuna painfully murmured out
”PainfulWant to vomit, des”
”Jibril, how could you not take Izuna into consideration!!! HOW COULD
YOU DO THIS TO THE WORLD'S TREASURE!!!”
”Ahhhh, I'm sorry, Master! I didn't take into consideration fro else
aside from Master! I'llreflect on this!”
Ignoring that kind of commotion, shi+ro and Steph looked and looked around
”This isThe Eastern Union?”
”The buildings are quite old for an advanced civilization The embassy looked
like that , so I thought——”
Listening to their words, Jibril added:
”Miko's hoh-rise
buildings si to the
information I've read from Master's tablet, if this was compared to Masters'
previous world——then this should probably be in the [Early 1900s]”
Sora recalled what he saw
The first iave to the embassy in Elchea was similar to the
E the latest buiding
technology”
”Yet they have advanced to a virtual game level? Darn”
”There is a difference in culture even though it is similar to Master's world”
Sora was troubled and couldn't accept being [Corrected by a fantasy
creature]
”But Jibril, you are aware of this because of the books?”
”That is certainly one of the reasons, but mainly because I frequently flew over
the Eastern Union”
Jibril laughed while saying so Still holding onto a grudge, Ino shouted to her:
”Isn't that territory infringement!”
”I'm sorry, but please accuse y,
when you've reached the point where you have the rights to claim your
airspace okay? In addition, since the one who called us here is Miko-sama
(laughs), intruding is not law-breaking Even if violent actions were to be
taken, it can't be iht?”
”Oi, you ver else when you pronounced Mikosama!
You better give——”
Everyone started shouting, when suddenly——
”Ah ha, it see fun, can I join in too?”
——ching
A s everyone to halt
in their movements
——when did she appear?
Sitting on the railing of a red bridge across the garden pond was a beautiful
blonde girl
She earing red, black and white, standard Miko clothing A golden
——two-tailed fox
Basking under the arden,
with long hair and prominent Werebeast ears
She was like gold——her cold eyes that eure of
Sora and shi+ro
”I thank everyone for co here from the other side of the ocean I
welcos I'm the owner of this
garden——also known as [Miko], pleased to meet you”
With her hands on her cheeks, [Miko] started chuckling
This was the sole representative for the Eastern Union——the Werebeasts'
[Queen]
Seeing her figure, Izuna and Ino iround and bowed
”Pl, please forgive our rudeness Miko-sama We allowed them to take away
the territories, gave thehts and they even offended you I don't have
any face to see you——”
”So, sorry, des”
”I, Izuna! Don't use hue, don't you kno to speak the
Werebeast language! You need to watch your——”
”Ah~ Ah~ how cu
me tired”
Ignoring the respectful attitude of the two, Sora retained his rude attitude
”Oh~So you are Miko? You're just like a painting Can I take a picture?”
——but could a ?
Sora regretted about the fact that he didn't bring his SLR camera out
Steph whispered panickingly to Sora:
”He, hey! She is super VIP of another country! Be polite!”
However, the siblings and Jibril were alar Steph
”H instead?”
shi+ro and Jibril nodded, expressing their agreement to Sora
Steph felt the pain caused by the space transfer and started hugging her head
Miko simply chuckled at the scene in front of her
”What interesting peopleWell, I was the one who called you here, it stands
to reason that I should be the one koing——”
”——but I called you here because of a protest, so I won't kneel, forgive
me?”
”Ara? I don't re”
——you still have the face to say that
Ino and Steph wanted to shout out With a different tone, Miko answered in a
clear voice:
”About thisThen I'll go straight to the point”
Even though she was stillsolden eyes, it was
obvious that there were different s behind that smile
”——really, look what you've done, bald monkeys”
Miko said, her style and atmosphere didn't collapse Sora revealed a
sarcastic smile
”Haha, is that so, as expected of the Elves They took action faster than I
could iine”
Only shi+ro, Sora and Jibril truly understood what Miko had meant
Izuna——was [Told by Sora]
Ino and Steph looked confused, but Miko ignored the
and revealed a bitter smile
”You should be aware that if our continent is snatched away, the Eastern
Union would be cornered We'll even die in order to snatch back our
territories, or else the political and econo
But, for us to initiate——is undoubtedly, a bad move, so——”
She didn't finish her words when Sora suddenly laughed and continued for
her:
”As a precaution, you coies, technical
staffs, important people and resources”
——exactly
Steph was iaze,
Sora said:
”Since the opponent requested [Everything on the continent], it was definitely
stupid to not take measures in the form of an [Insurance]”
Miko chuckled, nodding her head before continuing:
”There is no point if the land can't be controlled, and Elchea would need to
challenge us again to obtain and utilise our technology Following that would
be si as it falls in my hand, ill be pleased”
——in other words, a ga is
entirely possible
ButMiko placed her hand on her cheek and gave a wry smile before
saying:
”But we are certainly pushed into a corner eh”
”——you already knoe intend to do, right?”
”Of course, because I would do the same if I were you”
”ReallyYou aren't even letting [That time] off”
Miko sighed
”When ere evacuating the important materials from the mainland, you
contacted the Elves——using the spy to expose our ga Elven
Gard to [Surround Eastern Union]”
”Sorry, poor people can't afford to slack”
”What——”
Ino was speechless, however, it should be like————[He was too early to
be speechless]
”——having said that, I've already predicted this step!”
This time, Miko stared at Sora and said
”It should be, I originally thought you were a spy from Elven Gard”
”I also think so, it wasthe
words that I'm from another world”
”Yes, logical thinkingBounded by that kind of thinking resulted in our
failure”
Miko showed a wry smile and closed her eyes
”——if even Avant Heiht”
This tiaze
Jibril was silent while closing her eyes, expressing extreme admiration for her
master's plan
Ino sed his saliva, in the end——as the plan set?
No, according to [Miko], who said that it was [Fro], then
——
When Sora visited InoHe had already——
(A person ants to s up the entire world, against someone who
built the third largest country in half a century——)
Ino shuddered at this thought
——yes, Jibril was a member of the 18 Council members——previously a
political person at Avant Heim
Even when she became Sora's property and was removed from the
govern as he requested
Jibril, conveying words to The Flügel would be easy
——[The Eastern Union's secret is revealed, if you want information I'll tell
you the method to win]
Next, what the knowledge-seeking Flügels would do——was obvious
Perhaps unhappy about the fact that she lost, Miko had a bitter smile and
constantly slapped her feet together
With the sound of the clogs hitting together, the golden fox said with a piqued
tone:
”Elven Gard, Avant Hei
up to lay the fence, and even exposing our secret———winning is
evidentI can't stand it”
At this tis stopped
She gently kicked up froe
”So——”
With that one action, the golden girl arrived in front of Sora in an instant
Her eyes stared into Sora's She then said:
”The Eastern Union wants——to retaliate against Elchea”
”What——!”
Ino doubted his own ears, while Izuna was lowering her head
For the Eastern Union to be on the offensive, was unheard of to Ino
Even so, the opponent was that——Sora and shi+ro
Defeating the Flügel and the Eastern Union Winning ga on
cheats
Not tothe initiative, the odds of winning was
close to none——
However, Miko's eyes showed that she are of that fact, yet she
continued:
”Blocking us from the retreat route is this man! Since our trump card is
revealed, we can't be on the defensive Furthermore, their methods caused us
to have no choice but to take the initiative, or else we'llrun out of time”
”Even if you did what you did in the past, facing against the Elves and
Flügel——is a dead end”
Sora s Miko to smile in low self-esteem
”To be honest, being hostile with three countries, our only chance of winning
is against Imanity——Elchea”
The s from her face——
”We've resources and technology to use as bait, in order to take back what's
rightfully ours so that the country can go on surviving Otherwise, we'll get
cornered, and then demiseWant me to repeat that?”
”Look at what you've done, bald monkey——don't think we'll die off that
easily!”
Miko glared at Sora, her expression pale and full of killing intent
——[Even if we die, you'll be the scapegoat]——her atmosphere seemed to
imply
Then, Ino felt goosebumps
Facing against the Eastern Union, the world's third largest country, two ranks
higher than humans
(This man used one step, to force us into a move where we [Can't survive]!?)
——This unbelievable fact caused Ino to feel chills down his spine
Before the de human resourcefulness, Miko was
releasing killing intent No matter how disrespectful or rude it seemed——to
Ino, it was a [Death Struggle]
Using half a century to create the world's third largest country, the living God
[Miko]
Her opponents were two humans——but they used just [One step] to utterly
destroy what she had built up over the decades
Sora faced up against her gaze head on and said:
”Ah, that is it, I still don't get it”
Those words deflated the balloon-like atmosphere
”Why would I destroy the world's kedom!?”
The persons stunned upon hearing these words were Ino, Steph, and also
——Miko
”The motherland of Kemonomimis!? And a bunch of kemonomimis that are
as cute as Izuna, plus the leader is a beautiful blonde Miko, it definitely is a
cheat race!! Losing the Werebeasts would mean the loss of culture, why
didn't that idiot TET classify your race as protected?! I can't help but suspect
if his brain is functioning properly or not!”
——————
The tension in the air dissipated
Ino, Steph, and even——Miko froze in place
”Just because of this reason——okay, you want to retaliate? Okay, I
accept”
Concluding his words, Sora took out——a coin
”I', so we shallsolve this
quickly okay?”
The ga the coin——was incomprehensible
”I'll throw the coin and allow you to choose heads or tails, so I'd have to pick
the other side If I win, Elchea and Eastern Union is to be ed, is that
okay?”
Letting her see both sides of the coin, Sora said
”The one anted to retaliate was s
to youBut you want to use a coin toss to determine the outcome”
”Hmmm? Do you refuse to accept it?”
Sora casually laughed, but Miko followed up with a laugh too
”——no, this can do”
”Spending ot taken away by
