A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 10: In the First Village (3)

As the opposite of the ability you can gain by using points, you can also gain points by giving a penalty.

General penalties include slow recovery of physical strength or making the character look ugly, while adult-only penalties include mandatory skin exposure above a certain percentage.

There are literally a variety of abilities and penalties, but among them, the NTR constitution is a very nasty one.

A penalty for 'repeatedly being manipulated by the opposite sex you have a crush on.'

Although it is a penalty, I remember it as an unusual penalty that could be an attractive ability for people with NTR tastes.

However, for users who can choose the penalty, it is just one of the unique penalties, but if it is attached to an NPC who is just born with abilities and penalties...

Uh...

I can clearly see the hardships ahead.

Wouldn't it be better for them to develop the NTR wall?

The only silver lining is that the person you like doesn't fall for someone else, but rather just flirts with you.

If you notice it early, you can prevent the trick, and if you really love someone, you won't give in to a mean trick.

Cheer up, Runon!

Anyway, it has been confirmed that he has the ability to defend himself as he said, regardless of his abilities or abilities, so Runon's request to take him to the subjugation request is not just nonsense.

Since I'm the only one who can receive a subjugation request as an E rank, it's okay if I refuse.

However, when I think of Lunone's parents who rented me a room and fed me for free for the past three days, it's hard to cold-heartedly refuse a request like this.

'Your parents treated me like I saved you. You might say, 'Are you really trying to follow me to a dangerous place?', But with this level of skill, I don't think it would be dangerous against a few goblins unless you throw them in the middle of a horde of goblins.

"Whew. Okay. I admit that if you can hold out for this long, you won't be dangerous against goblins. If Soira allows, you can go."

"Really? Good. So, Soira, please accept the subjugation request with me!"

In the end, it came back to square one. No, did it actually get worse because Kiven no longer opposed it?

"Hmm... Good. Instead, Kiven, you come too."

"Me? Why me?"

"No matter how good you are, if you get hit in the back of the head, you're still going to collapse. Because I will fight from the front. Shouldn't there be at least one person to look after Runon? And when you become a soldier, you will have to deal with various monsters like this, so you can think of it as experiencing it in advance."

"Is it? If you think like that, wouldn't it be better to try it now so Soira can protect you?"

"Who will protect me? "You guys keep to yourselves."

"Kid. Don't do that."

"Do you want to get hit? "Where are you being cute?"

After spending three days and becoming closer, he keeps doing this, but the combination of his size and size is the worst.

What's even worse is that he seems to enjoy the reaction of disgust.

"Me! Then, I want to go too!"

At that time, Sophie intervened.

Why is he like this again?

"What? "You want to fight Kiven and last 5 minutes?"

"That's not true, but I also know how to fight."

Fight? Sophie?

I asked Runon and Kiven with my eyes if it was true, and unexpectedly they nodded.

"If you know how to fight, what was it like when you first met? "You were hiding behind Runon."

"That's right..."

The explanation that followed was as follows.

Sophie's father is said to be a hunter. Although Sophie does not work as a hunter, she learned how to shoot a bow by following her father.

He said that when he first met him, he didn't think it would be dangerous, so he didn't take a bow with him. Anyway, does that make sense in a forest with goblins?

No, maybe I let my guard down because it was a familiar forest?

Anyway. As much as I learned from my father, who was a hunter, I can help in battle in my own way.

"Really? Let me tell you in advance, there is no guarantee that I will protect you. "You guys have to protect it."

"You can protect it! Kiven said he was going with him too. Right?"

"What. "If there are two of us, there's no way we can't protect at least one Sophie."

Sophie, who is in the position of being protected, is a little upset, thinking, 'I don't have to protect her?', But it is important.

Even if Sophie dies, you can't load it and revive her. I don't have a save right now, so I have to start from the beginning.

When I spoke seriously, Sophie also said that she wanted to help the two and that she would participate.

I can't say it that way.

In the end, from Runon to Kiven and Sophie.

I left on a subjugation quest with three pieces of luggage attached.

I hope it's at least a rock that can be thrown and hit.

"You mean a request to subdue goblins? Yes. That is a regular request. If you receive a request and subdue a goblin, it will be recorded on your adventurer card. We will pay you at a certain number, so please ask for as many as possible. The atmosphere in that forest has been terrible lately. "If we reduce the number of goblins, I'll be less worried."

I'm glad I don't have to worry about collecting proof of subjugation or anything like that. It's a hassle to store those things, and if you carry them around, they take up space in your bag.

"You're taking the three Runonnes? There is no problem in terms of procedures, but... Are you okay?"

"What. They say they are so confident. I am indebted to Runonne's parents in many ways. I felt like I could at least protect myself."

"Please be careful. "There are many cases where you go out to catch goblins and meet orcs and die."

The Adventurer's Guild receptionist was concerned about us while handling the formalities. He is a good person.

Runonne was waiting outside the guild.

Runon and Kiven were each wearing a sword, and Sophie was carrying a bow on her back. Kiven was wearing some light armor.

"Are you ready? Again, there is no guarantee that I will protect you in actual combat. Think carefully because your life is literally at stake. "It would be wise to go back now."

"I'm ready."

"I'm not ready, can I go back?"

"Kiven, you have to protect Runon and Sophie, so follow me. "It's your fault for not hitting Runon right away."

Runon is full of motivation, Kiven is muttering, and Sophie looks a little nervous.

Finally, after checking consumables such as herbs and potions, we left the village.

"But Soira, where are we going now?"

"The place where we first met."

"Why there?"

"You said a goblin appeared before that you didn't even see, right? That means there's a tunnel nearby that was used as an entrance to a goblin nest. You can't search the forest for days and days just to get a subjugation request. To hit there and finish it all at once."

"Nest? Wait, wouldn't a nest be a bit dangerous? There are strong goblins in the nest."

"Yes. So, it's dangerous. "It's not too late to go back now."

Then, my words seemed to have stimulated something, and Runon became motivated.

"No, it's just as Soira said. Let's hit the nest and get it done in one day. "Can't we just protect ourselves while Soira fights?"

"Uh... Huh. That's right."

Jol? Did you accept it? I didn't mean it that way...

While walking and talking, we arrived at the place where we first met Runon.

"I first met Soira here. Then the road we passed..."

"This way. Follow me."

When Runon couldn't find his way and stumbled, Sophie took the lead and guided him.

Did she at least learn how to find her way as a hunter's daughter? Sophie's guidance was accurate, and it wasn't long before she discovered a large hole in the ground.

"I can't believe there was a hole like this here..." . "I had no idea."

"Because there are a lot of trees and grass nearby. She probably didn't notice because it was a place she didn't need to look for. "I guess there must be someone quite clever to make an entrance to a place like this."

Still, I didn't do anything like cover the entrance by tying grass and branches together. At best, it means you have a goblin level brain.

"I'll go in first, so Kiven, Sophie, and Runon follow in that order. Don't forget to keep checking back for Runon."

Knowing the terrain well is a huge advantage.

Even when playing an FPS game, the difference between knowing and not knowing which parts of the map are connected and where you can attack is as different as heaven and earth.

It goes without saying that it is a virtual reality that is as real as reality.

Moreover, the cave we are entering now is not terrain that the opponent knows well, but terrain that they created themselves.

Did you say that the only way for goblins to defeat humans is through sheer numbers or surprise attack?

These smart kids know that, so they try to make a surprise attack whenever they get the chance.

"Soira! Behind! Suddenly!"

As I said, Runon, who was walking while checking behind her, screamed when she saw the goblin that had really appeared. I was so shocked that I couldn't even continue my sentences properly.

Keep your eyes forward and check behind you with just a glance.

Five. One holds a blade, but the rest are like sticks.

If it's Runon who has swordsmanship talent, it'll probably be okay, but you still need to be careful just in case.

"Kiven, go and help. Because I will be the only one looking ahead."

"Are you okay? Even if I'm alone?"

"I was going to do it alone from the beginning. Go quickly. "It must be Runon."

"It was like that. "I'll be back soon."

I see that Kiven, who heard my instructions, turns around and goes to help Runon.

Sophie shot an arrow and pierced one of the goblins before they could approach, but she was too close to shoot an arrow after that for fear of hitting Runon.

But that was enough. It would have been difficult if there were five of them, but even Runon was able to withstand four of them.

While we were holding out, Kiven arrived and the situation ended in an instant.

I heard Kiven fights surprisingly well. Swordsmanship is very vague, but the strength of a well-trained body becomes a tremendous weapon in itself.

It's an attack with a speed that even a goblin can't respond to, and even if it does, will it have the talent to withstand an attack that cuts down with the weapon it blocks?

I waited a moment for the situation to end and for Runon and Sophie to control their shocked hearts, then set off again.
