Chapter 116 - Chapter 104: Let's Try to Recreate It
“
"Of course, that day I came from the south… Oh, it's caught!"
When we arrived at the usual [Lexon] growing spot, a [Greydeer] was caught in the [Snare Trap] I had set.
Its meat was delicious, and its hide could be used for Lupi's bed. Oh, if we move, using it as a bedspread would be an option too.
"Woof."
"Mm, go ahead, Lupi."
[Izayoi] "Eh, Lupi-chan is going to fight it?"
[Gishisan] "It's caught in a trap, so it should be fine."
[Lucol] "Go, Lupi-chan!"
etcetc…
"Grrr… Woof!"
Just like last time, she bit its neck and dragged it down, so I helped hold it. Before long, the [Greydeer] quieted down. I decided we'd gratefully take it later.
"Good job, Lupi."
"Woof-woof."
[Lucol] "Such a smug face, so cute~"
[Kusacoro] "So strong…"
[Rakkasan] "She's so cool."
[Ryuzu] "
etcetc…
As a reward, I cut her some freshly harvested meat.
"I came here to check the traps, and, um… there it is."
I walked to the spot near the cliff where [Rudish] grew.
It was growing well again today, so I pulled it out.
"This. Well, it looks exactly like a radish, and I was excited when I found it, and then…"
"It suddenly appeared nearby, right?"
"Yeah. As I wrote in the short story comments, it seems it was a bug."
[Gafugafu] "What a critical hit lol"
[Reiminsky] "I thought it was bad spawn, but it was a bug lol"
[Bluesha] "Having an [Area Boss] spawn right next to you is terrible… (^◇^;) "
[Fritee] "In our case, we get quarantined, but this island was already quarantined, wasn't it?"
Ah, that's right.
Normally, it would spawn after a quarantined area was created, so it would be fine, but because the [Uninhabited Island] was already isolated, it happened this way…
"I was truly surprised then. Shou-kun said he would fight…"
"At that moment, I couldn't escape anyway, and I had prepared for a fight, thinking I'd have to face it eventually."
"Woof!"
"That's right, Lupi was there too."
[Lucol] "Such a cute assertion~"
[Karin] "They say bears are super fast, don't they~"
[Doumin] "It's apparently best to back away smiling, without turning your back."
[Matsudaira] "I want to see the full combat footage."
"Ah, the editing should be finished soon, so I think it can be released next Tuesday."
[Shalran] "Huh?"
[Nireno] "Mion-chan is doing the editing!?"
[Mizar] "Unexpectedly, she's also a virtual director!"
[Choccol] "Hey guys~"
etcetc…
"Yes, I leave everything to Mion. I'm sorry."
I'm helpless…
………
……
…
"So, I created a stone wall about this high here, and then I dodged it when it chased me and jumped over it…"
"It fell into the sea, right?"
I turned around and peered down the cliff.
I was so hyped up then, but looking at it calmly, it was pretty high.
[Alde] "I see~"
[Kokkuri] "The bear probably spread its arms before falling ＼(´(ェ)｀)／"
[Nameen] "Amazing! Did you plan that from the start?"
etcetc…
"Did you intend that from the beginning?"
"No, that was truly a spur-of-the-moment idea. After it entered its second form, it seemed like it had completely lost its head."
I think if that hadn't worked, I would have changed strategy and tried to somehow escape.
[Yuion] "Shou-kun, did you jump in after that?"
[Tonen] "In the short video, it looked like there was underwater combat."
[Doumin] "Bears can swim normally, you know~"
etcetc…
"That's right. He just said, 'I'm going to finish it off,' and…"
"No, well, I would chase it, wouldn't I? Since I was so close to defeating it."
[Galeso] "He'd jump, alright."
[TS] "Couldn't he have waited for it to come back to shore?"
[Gafugafu] "Alright, let's try to recreate it."
[Kincoji] "It's like, 'Don't push me!'"
etcetc…
Huh? It feels like the conversation is moving towards me jumping in?
No, well, it's fine.
"Alright, I guess I'll jump in."
"Shou-kun, you don't have to force yourself."
"It's fine, I know where to jump. And I want to check if the bug's fixed. Ah, Lupi, wait over there."
"Woof."
I had her wait ahead on that rock ledge a bit to the south.
[Gafugafu] "Seriously!"
[Bluesha] "Don't do anything reckless~"
[Fritee] "No, isn't it quite high?"
[Daytron] "
etcetc…
…Yeah, it's still scary headfirst, so feet first.
"One, two, three!"
I landed feet first, and with that momentum, my whole body went underwater.
In real life, this would be shockingly cold, but since it's a game, I barely felt anything like that.
And is the stream camera properly underwater? Wait, I can't talk! Camera, where's the camera? Is that it? I wave my hand, and…
"You can see me even underwater~"
Hearing Mion's voice, I was relieved. I gave a thumbs-up.
Since I'm here, I might as well look for something. Are there any turban shells, abalone, sea urchins, or anything…
[Your Diving Skill level has increased!]
Ah, I had the [Diving Skill] after all.
"I think he's probably looking for shellfish or something."
Yeah, I should keep it moderate.
I don't have time to look at comments, and it's not good to leave Mion and Lupi hanging.
"Phew!"
"Are you okay? Aren't you cold?"
"Nah, I'm fine. I'll just swim to the rock ledge for now."
It was hard to talk unless I was calm, so I quickly moved.
Since I hadn't drawn the [Red Armor Bear] today, it felt light and easy.
"Phew. It seems the bug was fixed today and the underwater was also shown, but that day, the camera didn't follow."
[Kokkuri] "Aww… (´Д`)"
[Rakan] "So the full version won't have the underwater fight either, huh?"
[Kanakan] "Let's hire Shou-kun as a debugger now."
[Matchrou] "He's the Uninhabited Island exclusive debugger~"
etcetc…
"That's right. So, can you explain what happened underwater?"
"Yeah. Well, I saw the [Paralyzing Knife] stuck in its throat, and I thought it wasn't properly embedded, so I used [Stone Projectile] magic to push it in. I'm not sure if that hit well or if the paralysis took effect when it hit."
"I see."
But I'm sure that was the decisive blow.
"So, shall we switch to questions now?"
"Okay. It's not suitable here, so let's walk to the [Sandy Beach] while we talk."
"Yes!"
[Bluesha] "Question time~! ♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪"
[Mattel] "Too many things I want to ask."
[Nonnonno] "Recipe for the meal you made recently!"
[Shakeena] "Mion-chan, did you get to eat the meal?"
etcetc…
Today's live stream, Mion and I had fun, and the viewers seemed to be enjoying it too, so it was all good, I guess?
