A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 120: Lake Veles (18)

No, to be honest, I was aiming for a penalty from the moment I saw the ability cube.

There is a story here that cannot be heard without tears...

Do you remember going to buy swimsuits before we came to Lake Veles?

Okay. It was a time when three people chose a design and matched the size.

How much anger I felt towards the male clerk who just fiddled around and didn\'t do anything.

At first, I just thought, \'It\'s unfortunate, but the staff here seems to be managed well.\'

But when I looked at Asil, his face was red and his breathing was slightly rough, so anyone could tell that these guys were in a bad state!

Flora, I deliberately made you follow the experienced clerk, so it was natural that nothing happened. Did you even know?

Then what about me?

I struggled with an extreme sense of betrayal. I don\'t know what made me feel betrayed.

I didn\'t know if it was because Asil, who said she didn\'t want to be seen as a woman or something, was doing the most bitchy things, and even though it was a world I created, I might have felt betrayed by the world itself, which only made other people feel good and left me behind.

After that, I slept well, ate well, and thought about it for three days and nights. And I came to a conclusion.

I don\'t have any weaknesses.

Flora\'s "Sexual misfortune" Is a weakness clearly marked as a penalty, and Asil\'s "Charm" Can also be poison depending on the situation.

But me?

I invested WM points that should have originally been invested in the character into setting up the world view, but I did not have enough points to set up a clear ability like Asil.

Because of this, one worldview became a world optimized for gaming according to one\'s tastes, but the character \'Soira\' itself became a dull character without any special features.

The only reason I am strong is that I am a pilot, not because my character is strong.

No, no. Being strong isn\'t that important. That\'s important when pushing a scenario, but it\'s not as important for the play I\'m going to play this time.

The important thing is the penalty.

No matter how strong I am, I need a penalty that leaves me helpless.

Until now, I thought that if NPCs in the game world played tricks on me, that would be enough.

It was an illusion.

I realized it in the locker room. There are cases where they act first, like the hot spring man who used aphrodisiacs, but there are also cases where, like the fearful clerk in the locker room, they don\'t even think about making a trick in the first place if there is no penalty!

However, there was nothing I could do about the character that had already started. The only thing to do is to bring Flora or Runon and use them as totems.

I knew of the existence of the Ability Cube, but I had no intention of proceeding with the scenario, so I thought there was nothing I could gain from it.

But, look at this. Did you get an ability cube by chance?

It was the biggest gamble of Soira\'s life.

Please penalty. It\'s fine if you have the ability, but not if you don\'t, but give me just one penalty.

Did such a prayer reach heaven? I finally got it. Penalty.

However, the effect is quite ambiguous. What is this? Let\'s see again.

Response to sexual stimulation? What immediately came to mind was a moaning sound. In general, when you say it\'s hidden, that\'s it.

But when did I ever hide it? Looking back, I can say that it doesn\'t exist at all, but if possible, I tend to just cling to it. That feels better.

What I got is good... Sorry, it\'s a bit disappointing.

As I was licking my lips with regret, Flora asked how I interpreted it.

"Soira. Do you know what abilities are?"

"Uh? Uh. Huh. "I think I understand."

I relayed what I learned about the ability "Radar". The "Honest Body" Was not made known. It\'s too vague an effect to say I figured it out right here.

"If you have one ability, at least you haven\'t suffered any loss. But where can I use it?"

"It would be a great ability if it could also show the enemy. I don\'t know about that either. How about it, you know. Should I go out and come back for a test?"

"No. We just got back. I don\'t want to go out today anymore. It\'s annoying."

"What about Flora?"

"I\'m a little... Today too." "I\'m tired, probably because I\'m nervous in the cave."

Both Asil and Flora say they don\'t want to go out. Well, honestly, I don\'t want to leave as soon as I get back.

I was just curious about your abilities. But this isn\'t the only opportunity to check your abilities.

After blocking and defeating the unknown Fishman\'s plot, we even received the Ability Cube.

I worked too hard for a game I was trying to enjoy. I was supposed to end this hard work in the last episode.

As I become aware of it, I feel like fatigue that I had forgotten about is coming back. Asil and Flora are saying the same thing, let\'s think about it after taking a nap.

◆

-Roaring...

When I woke up after taking a great nap wrapped in a soft blanket, there was some commotion outside.

I think I experienced something similar last time. Was that when you first experienced an attack by the fishmen?

Now that the giant magic stone is gone, it is unclear whether the fishmen will attack in the future, but at least they will not attack again today, as there was an attack a little while ago.

When I looked outside through the window, I saw several people running around in panic.

A woman running with her breasts covered, a man hastily putting on his swimsuit... There were so many different people. The only thing they have in common is that they are wearing swimsuits.

However, since it is a tourist destination, there were many people wearing swimsuits. It wasn\'t anything particularly worth pointing out as something in common.

... No, when I think about it more closely, I think it\'s a bit strange to walk around wearing only a swimsuit just because it\'s a tourist destination. At least I\'ve never seen it in real life. But since this is a game, and above all a game, isn\'t that possible? What? Isn\'t it? Which one?

"Soira! Are there any?"

Asil came into my room calling me loudly.

"It\'s noisy. Why are you calling me?"

"I just came back from outside. "Have you seen outside?"

"Huh. People were very noisy."

"The uproar was caused by people wearing only swimsuits suddenly feeling embarrassed. After all, it was strange to walk around wearing only a swimsuit?"

"Is this strange...? ?"

"That\'s strange! Moreover, after the giant magic stone disappeared, the sweet smell that was coming from somewhere also disappeared. That must have been the culprit."

"Uh, uh... "

"I wasn\'t weird! What a crazy world it is! "I was right!"

Asil shouted in excitement and ran out without waiting for my answer.

... What on earth are you here for?

Still, I understand what you are trying to say. Because we kept repeating, \'It\'s okay because it\'s a tourist destination,\' I guess he felt like a strange person. I didn\'t know you cared that much. I should have treated you a little more kindly.

When dinner time came and everyone gathered, everyone was definitely dressed a little more well than before.

As Asil said, the giant magic stone seems to have had some effect.

So what effect was it? The effect of increasing people\'s exposure? Do they even give an ability cube as a reward for progressing the scenario just for getting rid of that?

It was difficult to guess now.

Still, I enjoyed having fun at Lake Veles, and the suspicious behavior of the fishmen that had been bothering me for a few days was handled well.

Therefore...

"So our vacation ends tomorrow. Let\'s leave the day after tomorrow."

"What?"

At the sudden remark, Asil dropped the meat he was eating.

"Why are you so surprised? You were originally only planning to stay for a few days, right? In the meantime, you\'ll be lucky if the fishmen attack once more, or else. "I think that\'s what I said."

"Uh... Is that so? Yes. "I forgot."

Looking around, Flora seemed to have forgotten something and continued eating without showing any signs of agitation, while Runon and the others calmly nodded.

Because I\'m paying for their accommodation. If I have to peel it, I have to peel it.

But obviously, they only saw Runon and brought him here as a totem... Was it effective?

Honestly, I don\'t know what was different from usual. Even though that\'s what a totem is.

I guess I won\'t have to bring it next time. So, if you feel a difference, then think again. Otherwise.

We rested well the next day.

And the next day was the day to leave Lake Veles.

"Uh?! Are we the only ones going?!"

In front of the transmission device, Sophie\'s voice rang loudly.

Even when people around her turned to ask what was going on, Sophie didn\'t care.

"Huh. Because we don\'t really have a base in Zersier Castle. "From here, I\'m going to go around and take requests."

"Okay... "

I guess I had roughly guessed it. Sophie, who was quickly convinced, told him to wait a moment and took out a few pouches from her bag.

"This. Take it."

"What is it?"

"It\'s a potion I made. I hate to say it myself, but it won\'t be enough compared to the potions we sell."

"Then wouldn\'t it be better to sell it? "They said I need to buy a house."

"Yes... Well, as I was making various things for practice, I ended up making a lot of potions that didn\'t sell well. There are some things that have no use in everyday life. Still, wouldn\'t there be something to write about while living the life of an adventurer?"

When I opened the pocket, the potion bottle had its effects written roughly.

\'Potion to reduce presence,\' \'Potion to itch,\' \'Potion to make slippery,\' etc... No, they all seem quite useful, right?

Sophie was smiling. When I said it wasn\'t necessary, I guess it meant that I shouldn\'t feel pressured to receive it.

"Okay. Then I will be grateful."

"Huh. "Thank you for bringing me this time."

We exchanged greetings again and sent Runon and his group off. Runon and his party disappeared beyond the portal opened by the transmission device.

"Soira. Then where will we go?"

"It would be nice to go somewhere. But first, let\'s go to the Adventurer\'s Guild. "I also have to receive compensation for exterminating the fishman tribe."

There was no one who refused to receive money.

We arrived at the Adventurer\'s Guild counter with anticipation about how much we would receive.

"Ah. How many days ago did you kill the Fishman Commander? "Not some random guy who shows up on the beach, but a commander."

"Yes. But what?"

"Yesterday... So, the day after the last attack, the city was in an uproar, right? "I was looking for an adventurer who had killed a special monster just before that."

"Why?"

"A wizard said he wanted to entrust me with a request. Would you like to listen?"

I was nominated once again.
