Manuke FPS

Chapter 5



5I removed the group of goblins from the depths of their den, a small, room-like space. Everything was fine now, but when I tried to call out to the kidnapped women, the words would not come out.

Of course, I cannot understand the words of the other party. We looked at each other in silence.

Seriously… I didn’t think transferring worlds would be this hard. For replenishing CP, there is no hope, and I could not establish a conversation. In this different world, though I cannot understand the language, perhaps I could communicate!

There was a slight light being emitted from white flowers in the room. The woman clearly doesn’t know what to do. [TLN: Bing has a potty mouth: –Keep unclear too, little white flowers that emit light but not room in this situation it was towards who bitches can’t.]

What should I do… Because I’m a foreigner, words will not go through… Foreigner……?!

I started up the TSS, turning away so that it is not seen, and tried to turn on automatic translation from the communications settings. This feature was essential to VMB, with more than 5 million players worldwide. It assisted the voice communication between foreign players. If this feature was turned on, words spoken to other players was automatically translated into the language of that player’s country, or language of choice if the default was changed.

At the very least, this function should work… She again calls out, and I turn back to her with uneasiness.

“–,——–” – “Ano, are you alright?”

It was a miracle. Indeed, it had translated her words so that I could understand.,,, but the other party does not have this kind of function, so she will not be able to understand my words.

“N-No, It’s nothing, is it all right over there?”

I called out to her while waving both hands aside to indicate there were no problems with my body.

“D-Do you speak the shared Orlando language? That most foreign adventurers speak? Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Orlando? And adventurers use it? Well, I guess that adventurers learn multiple languages in order to communicate wherever they go.

I returned a nod to show I understood, and I realize that it is impossible to speak.

“I guess that you know what I’m saying? Good, Oh, thank you, I was thinking another one would be useless…”

I nod at her words, and notice that there were vines binding her limbs, which I tore, and she woke up the limbs that had fallen asleep due to lack of circulation

The woman was very beautiful up close. She was light skinned with a medium length bob, Her blue eyes and glossy blonde hair shine even in this dim light… I wonder if she was a model, though she wore leather armor.

The she was wearing was the type for females, with a small round shoulder guard as a substitute for the sleeves. At the waist was a skirt, however there were pants underneath that. At first glance, it looks like the way a woman warrior would dress.

She was trembling, little by little it increased. I helped her, but she must still be frightened. I guess it would be like that, to be caught by a group of goblins and have one of those animals bring it’s club down just beside her head… I don’t know how different the goblins of this world are in comparison to those of the fantasy setting I know of, but I don’t know of many in which women are carried off to a place like this. [TLN: Google = “My God you’ll have smooth a woman in a place like this.”]

“I’m all right now, okay, all right, perfectly fine…”

I wish she could understand my words. Still, I couldn’t help but comfort her. While being careful not to touch her in a sexual way, I clapped my hand on her shoulder and patted her on the back.

She clung onto my arm, trying to rectify her abnormal breathing and trembling with her head down. I wonder how much time we spent like this. Maybe 10 or 20 minutes, might have been just a few minutes. In the dark, dim, dank room, her quivering ceased as I rubbed her back gently. She lifted her face and stared into my eyes.

“My name is Ashley Zepanell, a Guild Investigator from the General Guild in the Curt Merga Kingdom. And you are?”

She asked me for my name…I… my name….

My name is Saito Ren (Saito – family name), age 25, single, no girlfriend. [TLN: Either his girlfriend is a pear(fruit) , or his girlfriend is nonexistent.] I especially loved FPS games. I continued playing from my school days, and was so absorbed that, before I knew it, I went as far as to go to some major world competitions, and I became hooked on the prizes. But to make ends meet with this kind of hobby is difficult, and so I got a job with a peripheral device manufacturer that made products for PC. I had to working in the semi-professional industry as well as being employed in a PC peripherals manufacturer, it was hard to get up to go to work every day.

FPS tournaments were individual games rather than team battles. VMB also has several tournaments and leagues. I was active as the starting player, “Black” for the team “P0wDer”, too, but I usually played solo during the off period.

The woman identified herself as Ashley Zepanell, but I was troubled as to whether to give my real name or IGN.

“Black.”

I chose to use my IGN. Rather than the Japanese Saito Ren, It feels as if the one who had come to this world was Black, the FPS player from VMB.

“Black-san? I haven’t heard of that name before, but you are obviously a high rank adventurer. I have no excuse, you just helped me, but could you accompany me to Miral village? I, as an investigator of the General Guild, but came here after a Goblin was subdued in this area. We divided the area among us and I was attacked and brought to this place. I must report this incident, so I have to get there as soon as possible.”

Ashley looked to be about 20 years old, but she was extremely enthusiastic. Even though her life was put at risk moments before, she seemed to only look ahead. I nod to convey my approval.

I have no reason to disagree, because I need to get to a place where there are other people, and this proposition is mutually beneficial.

I stood and turned to the exit to set off towards this Miral Village, until I was restrained by Ashley’s words.

“Oh, Black-san, please wait a little. My tool bag wasn’t brought here? We have to collect the evidence of the subjugation. The mage class also drops a Magic Stone that we should take.”

Proof of subjugation? I give up, I don’t understand that part, moreover, whats a Magic Stone? No, it couldn’t be, it’s a crystal!? It may still be possible to acquire CP!

Ashley was walking around the dim room, but didn’t seem to notice my confusion and desire.

“u~n. Whats over there that’s so dark? It’s-!”

When she seemed to have hit her head on something, she put one hand before her chest and grasped a fist. She closed her eyes and begun concentrating on something.

“~~~~,~~~~, 『Light』”

With her hands open she chanted something that I couldn’t understand, even with the automatic translation feature. Before her rose a softball-sized orb of light. It hovered above her palm, and she lightly threw it. It was hollow, and the ball of light lit up the room like an incandescent bulb. The state of the room was now clear.

The light that the magic could put out was extremely bright, I was stunned to see magic up close. But Ashley kept facing to the sack of cloth towards the back that used to be a Goblin Mage, and went to it with a trot.

“I got it! I’m so glad it’s here.”

While saying so, Ashley pulled out a single dagger from the cloth bag. In a moment of high alert, I reflexively pulled out the M1911A1 , but realized I had not replaced the magazine. The hammer struck the firing pin sounded out with a faint tut-tut.

I don’t know what Ashley intends to do, but if she directs that towards me, with the MP5A4, I’ll… I kept my aim trained on her. She pulled the dagger from it’s sheath, and plunged it into the chest of the Goblin Mage, then cut it open in one stroke.

What is she doing! Anyone who can stick a dagger into a body is super scary, regardless of whether or not it’s dead!

I was terrified and shocked by her bizarre behavior, as she opened it’s chest cavity and rummaged around inside, producing a white-ish stone about 2-3cm in diameter from within. When she pulled off the sash it had around it’s neck, she brought it over here.

“Black-san, here is the proof of suppression and the Magic Stone. Unfortunately this magic stone is a non-attribute, seeing as the goblin used airball before. But this band is quite good.”

I-is that so… Was the Magic Stone the suppression proof, or did we just pick it up because we killed it… However, this Magic Stone really resembles a crystal. But I cannot collect it as CP by holding in my hand… and what should I do with this Obi (The band/sash)?

I blankly stared at the stone and obi and pushed them into the magazine belt on my pouch. I pulled the M1911A1 out of it’s waist holster and pretended to be looking around, while stealthily reloading out of her sight. When I was done replacing the magazine, I put it back in it’s holster.

I’m left with just two magazines for the MP5A4, and to summon the Ammunition box, I must hide, because this kind of power is unknown to this world.

Ashley must have noticed my suspicious behavior and was looking at me from head to toe in the light of the magic she had cast.

“By the way, Black-san, that Goblin just now… what magic did you use? You seem to be a Magician, but you don’t have a Magic Wand or equipment, or is there one inside? Or is that short black stick of yours a magic weapon?!”

She provides me with a variety of keywords… Magician, Magic weapons, Magic Equipment?

She tried to describe the MP5A4 that I had on me and pointed at it, to which I nodded, and showed it to her.

“Awesome! [TLN: Systran= It’s Enormous!] It’s the first time I’ve seen such a powerful magical weapon! There are something called Mage Weapons in the Baishuban Empire, does Black-san come from Baishuban?”  [TLN: Please recommend English reading for the empire. It’s weird.]

As Ashley was excited, I couldn’t help but return a wry smile, to have her interpret it as “Excuse me, but please don’t pry for answers,” so that she wouldn’t seek them out. But, the name of an empire came out, and it was new to me. I wonder if it would be a good disguise to use around here….
