Chapter 111: The Escape

Give up! I’m not the magical girl Pink Sol who would give an opening to my D-class friend’s brother."

...If the comments about Alpha Male Ren were just for broadcasting, this seems sincere.

It’s strange for them to treat me with full force instead of ignoring me, a D-class who hasn’t shown anything noteworthy.

"D-class? Strange?"

"D-class?"

The twin sisters seemed to have a keen intuition.

"We don’t feel that Ren is D-class."

"Right. Ren is strong, isn’t he? Not as much as us, though."

If only they would let their guard down.

Fighting the blonde twin sisters here isn’t a wise move.

But...

"I’m sorry, but I can’t join your side."

I took out the Glock and gripped it.

"Why? Because of Deherit?"

"The two of you aren’t on good terms; it’s well known."

"Well, there’s that, but the biggest reason is..."

This must be right.

I stepped in for Yuna.

"Yuna wouldn’t have abandoned her friend."

You chose the rebels.

[Reborn as a [Rebel Warrior]]

"There’s no other choice."

"It’s going to hurt a bit, Fleshlight Man."

Just as the blonde twin sisters were about to engage in battle,

A massive spire crumbles to the ground!

"Twins! Help me!!"

Deherit’s cry echoed through the air.

Upon looking over, they saw a woman wildly brandishing a greatsword.

A bounty of 5.11 million coins—it’s Hilaria!

Why is the world’s general so frail? Huh? You should have chosen me as your general! You fools!"

"Ah, this insane, rhinoceros-like woman!"

They’re rebels too!

Seemingly aware that she must cause a commotion, she rampages like a ferocious beast, fitting her role.

Hilaria was a physically impressive female student, boasting a tall and sturdy figure, much like Reid.

Her braided hair fell to her waist, and with a single hand she swung her house-sized greatsword, smashing the spire to pieces.

"Now’s our chance!"

In that brief moment when the twin sisters were distracted,

We quickly aimed and fired at the soldiers surrounding us!

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*

One step, one step!

Skillfully changing the direction of fire and swiftly taking down targets one by one!

[Firearms proficiency level has increased].

[Switching to tactical shooting]

[Quick enemy kill pt+3]

[Quick enemy kill pt+4]

[Bold decision, pt+1]

Did I just do that?

My hands trembled, unable to believe that I had subdued eight people simultaneously.

In comparison to a computer game, my body instinctively knew where the aim would land when moving the mouse.

"I’m going with the magic wand that the real man gave me."

*Whoaaaaaaa!!*

A 150-coin firework display!

When Isolde swung her wand, a torrent of flames erupted, forcing the twins to retreat momentarily from us.

As the number of Imperial Army NPCs dwindled, the rebel NPCs began to run amok all at once!

"Protect Isolde!"

"Wow!"

"This way! Run!"

I ran with Sarika and Isolde.

We have to escape from here!

"Where are you going?"

At the very moment the twin sisters attempted to move, a female warrior soared up from the shattered spire, brandishing a massive sword as she made her entrance.

*Woooooooooo!!*

An earthquake-like rumble shook the ground. Then Hilaria, wielding her dark greatsword, called out to us.

"Go!"

"Thank you, junior!"

At this rate, I could handle the situation single-handedly.

A great number of Imperial soldiers were converging around us. We needed to find an escape route!

Sarika protected our rear, holding back the pursuing Imperial forces.

"Did you find a path, senior?"

"I’m checking!"

[Crimson Eye activated]

A way to the basement. Found it!

I immediately entered the vacant castle tower, ushering Sarika and Isolde inside, and secured the door with a bolt.

*Thump thump! Thump thump!*

Judging by the pounding sounds threatening to break down the door, it wouldn’t hold for long.

We hurriedly dashed down the stairs leading to the basement.

The lower level connected to a cave, and there was a locked iron gate barring the passage to the outside.

"This...! I’ll examine it!"

Sarika seemed to have realized something.

"There’s a lockpick on the table beside us. As a thief, I have the skill to remove the lock."

*Bang! Bang!*

I blasted the lock with my gun and kicked the door open.

"It’s called door breaching."

I’m referring to the technique of smashing a door with a gun.

Could a quaint medieval lock really stop me?

[Destroy and proceed pt+5]

They say even the gods outside approve.

"First, let’s focus on getting out of here."

Having narrowed my goal, I retrieved the Benelli from my inventory.

I intentionally left the chamber empty so I could fire a reactive shot when needed, slung it over my shoulder, aimed the Glock forward, and advanced.

Every time a goblin poked its head out of the cave, I blew it away.

[Tactical Shooting, Pt+3]

[Tactical Shooting, Pt+3]

[Bold Execution Pt+4]

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

If the Glock jammed with a spent casing, I nonchalantly switched to the Python and fired.

The goblins that appeared along the way collapsed without even a chance to scream.

I’ve already captured countless goblins.

I can see their every movement.

"Senior..."

"Why? Go on. I’ll watch your back."

Sarika and Isolde stared at me as if they had seen a ghost.

"...I heard you’re Class D...?"

"Class D, but quite skilled at shooting."

What are they even beating around the bush for in this situation?

"There’s no way a Class D could land dozens of headshots. That’s incredible..."

Isolde gripped my sleeve tightly.

"Why, Isolde?"

"If Ren carries us like this..."

"Carries us?"

"We might really need to... repay the favor."

Isolde’s ears flushed red.

"So why are you doing such a lewd, decadent stream?"

"Lewd, decadent stream? I’m an NTR fairy providing pleasure to NTR enthusiasts beyond the screen."

"It’s obscene and depraved!"

What is NTR in this day and age? NTR!

It’s utterly repulsive.

"The ceremony for viewers who adore NTR idol Pink Sol, raising you as the absolute alpha male of our show, has just concluded."

"I don’t understand a word you’re saying... But we can’t just half-heartedly do this."

Both seemed to agree on that part.

"Let’s go. I’ll protect you."

"...Huh...."

"Ah...."

Their eyes were filled with a strange intensity.

No, this wasn’t about seducing a woman, was it?

I could see the chat windows popping up around my smartphone.

*Puffup!*

The donation exploded.

– No!! Please, Yuna, don’t let our Sol’s womb whimper uncontrollably!

"Ah. Thank you, 5cm Loser Jooji, for the 50 coins. But, you know, she’s already whimpered."

Sarika-chan also ovulated in front of the alpha male!!

"Uh-oh? Didn’t I say I’d ban you if you made weird comments about my friend?"

’These viewers are the worst.’

They seem to be enjoying the situation where their favorite streamer is taken away by the ’alpha’ male.

Soon, we heard the footsteps of the soldiers following us.

For now, we have no choice but to move forward.

As we proceeded straight through the cave, following the flow of the spring water on the floor, the cold wind grew stronger.

Gradually, the exit came into view.

In front of them, two large yetis stand guard.

Are they the last sentinels?

"It won’t be easy to break through."

"There! Capture them!"

As the soldiers charged at them, Sarika swiftly turned around and unsheathed her sword.

"I’ll hold them off here!"

"Understood. Isolde, come with me."

Isolde notched an arrow on the bow she had received for 50 coins.

"What about the spell from earlier?"

"I’ve used up all the charges."

"..."

Sigh. This is the only way.

"Lure them here one at a time. I’ll handle them."

"Can you manage on your own? If it’s a yeti, it’s at least Class B—truly dangerous."

Is this Isolde’s authentic self?

It feels odd to hear her speak without her broadcast tone.

"Ren?"

Her breasts are large and beautiful.

If only she hadn’t done anything strange, really.

No, I shouldn’t entertain such thoughts.

"Yes, I’ll be fine on my own."

One by one, Sarika takes down the imperial soldiers peeking through the narrow passage.

While evading the yeti’s detection, I patiently waited for Isolde to lure one of them outside

"Gwoooork!"

"Head that way, Senior Ren!"

I loaded my Benelli with 12-gauge buckshot, hid behind a large rock, then cautiously stepped forward and confronted the yeti.

"Soul Excretion — Lead Shot"

*Boom!*

Just one shot.

The recoil, quite different from a rifle, shook my body like never before.

’Perfect. I’ve got the hang of it!’

*Chk-chk!*

A thick shell ejects with the pump action.

"Kwaaargh!!"

The yeti crumpled to the ground, spewing forth gelatinous innards after a single blast of lead shot.

As expected, nothing beats a shotgun.

Lack of impact is simply not an issue.

"Become a Fleshlight."

Before anyone could see, I transformed it into a Fleshlight and collected it in my inventory.

[Yeti Fleshlight (Masterpiece)]

[Rarity B+]

[Collected Yeti Fleshlight]

[Strength +3]

[Agility +3]

[Endurance +3]

"Next."

"Kuuuuuk!"

"Listen and go! Senior Ren! Be careful!"

Isolde shouts, warning of the danger.

I know.

*Bang!!*

Pouring a barrage of lead bullets, silencing the area.

"Ke, kkeek."

Twisting as if to claim they can still move,

The process of Soul Excretion has already begun.

The yeti spilled white jelly, and it too was collected by the Fleshlight.

’It’s neat.’

[Perfect Shot Pt+15]

[Protect Allies Pt+3]

"Let’s go now!"

"Yes!"

Now it’s my turn to hold them off!

While Sarika and Isolde run ahead, I buy time by firing suppressive shots at the soldiers following us.

"Senior, you can come now!"

Seeing our leader escape the cave, I ran with my gun holstered.

Goal!

[Dungeon Clear]

[Final Contribution pt.53]

[Squad Contribution pt.109]

The surrounding space is quickly dismantled.

Are we done already?
