Chapter 1395 Kalhua Milk But Without Alcohol Part 2

「Gahh! What a troublesome lot! Don’t just cling so desperately to this world! Just accept your death and return to the Underworld where you rightfully belong!!」

「I don’t want to hear something like that from the like of you, Surviv-san!!!」

「Oi, give me salt! We need some salt in here, ASAP! Bring me some salt, god damn it!」

「Surviv-san! Here, I have it right here! But it’s only rock salt, though!」

「Alright, this will have to do! Now die, you fucking asshole! Eat this! And this! And this, and, this, and this!」

Stop making such a mess of things here, you stupid idiot.

At the current moment you could hardly even call the atmosphere in this establishment to be “peaceful”. It was more like, after getting rid of some rude barbarians who were in the way, the only ones who were left in here were the distant relatives. And they seemed to be the kind of relatives who do not like one another, and who would rather murder one another than talk things out. Hence the feeling of the imminent bloodbath in the air. So, in order to try and salvage this situation while it was still possible, I needed to do something. And who do I appeal to here? Goldunine who is a Unique Monster? Not really, that would hardly be a solution here. So of course I needed to appeal to her caretaker, Shuu-san, and hope for the best here.

「Ahh, you don’t really have to worry about that idiot. You know what they say, right? Boys will be boys. And that guys is as much of a stupid brat as you could expect of him to be.」

「…… I-Is that so?」

Huh? What’s this? I thought that we were finally making some progress to become friendlier with one another, but for some reason that is completely unknown to me, this guy also feels like he could start throwing hands at any moment now? Could it be? Could it be that this particular role player puts the world view first, even before his own role-playing needs? Well, that’s not good.

「I…… Oh well, if you look over my head, you can clearly see it, can’t you? It’s Sanraku. Sanraku.」

「Ahh…… I’m sorry about that. I’m usually keeping my User Interface hidden, so I wouldn’t know about that kind of a thing……」

「Say what now?」

Usually hiding his User Interface…… he says? So that means that without the User Interface displayed, he is unable to see his own HP, MP, Stamina bar and all the other things that are indispensable to the majority of the Players out there?

I mean, yeah, sure, there are people like that out there, who turn off all HUD options and User Interface options for a maximum immersion possible. It’s a thing that can be called a hobby or a part of role playing. But I get a feeling that this guy named Shuu does that for an entirely different reason than that. Somehow, this guy…… I get a feeling that he does that naturally, as if it was the most obvious of a thing to do.

「Hmm, is that right…… Hey, Survival! Did you hear that just now? Would you be able to fight properly with all of your User Interface turned off?」

「I mean, it would be really similar to that Deserted Island experience…… Is what I would like to say here. But without the User Interface it would be really hard to do anything, especially not here on the New Continent. And besides……」

「So it would be making things increasingly harder for oneself like that, is what you are trying to say here?」

In this game, just the fact that you are unable to see the User Interface does not mean that you are unable to open various system windows. So playing without the User Interface displayed is not really that much of a problem, but on the other hand playing with it displayed all the time makes things a whole lot more convenient for the Players themselves.

Even if you got somehow desperate and you SOMEHOW managed to traverse the entire area of See of Trees without the User Interface, going even further would be net to impossible. Mostly because from there on out, the rest of the New Continent is basically an increasingly hellish landscape, with strong monsters and environmental hazards. So as Survival mentioned already, it would be really hard thing to accomplish, even for a Deserted Island veterans.

It was then that Shuu-san opened his mouth slightly while looking at me in disbelief. After all, I knew it. He must be a much better role player than he is a gamer, huh?

「You…… Could it be that you……?」

「Huh? What is it」

「You…… You do happen to have made a contract with her, right? Right? Don’t tell me that you actually do not have a contract with her!?」

Huh? A contract? What is he talking about? A contract? …… Hmm!?

「Hey, Wimp? What’s that about a contract? What are those guys even talking about?」

「The one where I tried to bite you, but it was repelled for some unknown reason.」

Ahh, yes, I see. So in other words, this “contract” is more or less a curse, huh?

「You have five seconds left.」

「Huh?」

Four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second left…… Span!!!

「As you can clearly see, the attempt at forging a contract has been canceled because of the receiver being unable to accept it. So if I were to define my role here, it would be more like I’m…… her guardian? Something like that?」

The ones who answered me here was not Shuu-san, the original person who asked me the question, but the two other Goldunines other than Wimp. They turned their way towards me and gave me a look as if they wanted to ask: “Is this guy for real here”?

…… Huh? What is this? Could it be that I happened to make some sort of a mistake somewhere?
