* * *

For the time being, after the battle was finally over I have entered something that could only be described as a Hyper Low Tension Mode, and right after the Fossil Miners’ Chrysalis dissipated into myriad of tiny little pieces I fell down to the ground and decided to stay there for a moment or two. No, seriously now, up until now I have assumed that a player can only fall to the ground like that only as a result of a fierce life-or-death battle or as a result of some really specific event scene. I never would have thought that I would be falling to the ground in a place like that, because of something like that. It was simply unheard of.

When I think about it, I have used this whole Blood Crown at least several times before, but it was only today that I have managed to achieve a total and complete victory with it, isn’t that right? So, because of that…… Great job, Blood Crown. You did really good. If I had some premium sake on me, I would have poured it to you so that we could toast your success, but…… Well, I do not have any sake on me, so that’s that, I guess.

「Oooooohhhhhh…… Sigma~…… Hey, Sigma~…… You there, buddy……?」

「Response: Recovery work is going to begin shortly. Please stand by.」

Yeah, go figure. I guess that when it comes to beings based on Intelligence, the way in which they tend to do things is quite different from us humans.

Sigma, who at the current moment seems to be busy with collecting the drop items from Fossil Miners’ Chrysalis “War Orphan”, once she is finished she transfers all of them into my inventory since the two of them seems to be synchronized. Then she went on to collect the weapons that were being scattered all over the battlefield, while I was just sitting here and waiting for her to be done with it. Umm, Sigma? It would be nice if you could come here and help your Contractor out, you know? Or do you really think that all of that junk is of higher priority here……?

「…… Umm, hello? Earth to Sigma? Do you read me, Space Cadet?」

「Mention: Are you in critical condition, Master? Will you die if no immediate medical help is being provided to you at this very moment?」

「Well, if I was forced to choose here, I would say that…… No, wait just a moment here!」

Oh, is that it!? Are you saying that your Master is nothing but a hassle!? Huh, Sigma!? So, you would rather go and collect some junk drop items rather than seeing to your Master’s safety!? Now wait just a fucking minute, young lady! So, if I’m getting this right, you think of me as nothing more than a disposable paper cup, huh!? Your Contractor is so sad that you think about him like that! So, does that mean that you are going to throw me away into the trash can as soon as I have outlived my usefulness!? Oh yeah! I dare you to try to do just that! We shall see how it goes for you!

「NOOO!!! Who the fuck do you call a combustible garbage, you stupid piece of junk!?」

「Master, for some reason I’m sensing a severe abnormalities in your speech patterns and lapses in your logical processes.」

「No, wait just a freaking moment here, Sigma…… O-Oh, yeah, that’s right! It’s all about reduction here! Reduction! I know that there are times when you wish to treat humans as resources that can be discarded once they have outlived their usefulness, but even so…… It’s human lives that we are talking about here, you know! So it’s not good to treat them so lightly, you know!? We should really cherish them all! So don’t throw them away!」」

「Preaching: Listen here, Master…… Instead of throwing things away, don’t you think that it’s a whole lot better to just recycle? Isn’t that a common knowledge even among humans?」

「You fool! Don’t mention recycling when talking about humans, either! Don’t you know that recycling involves crushing!? Do you wish for me to be crushed so badly!? So recycling is a no-go, either!」

Mmmnnnhh! And just like that, the aftermath of the great battle between the spiders and centipedes is finally here!

「Oi, you fool! What the hell do you think you’re doing right there!? Why are you touching all of that without permission!? I’d much rather want it to disappear than for it to be mishandled like that!!」

「…………………… Understood.」

Depending on the situation at hand, it’s alright for tears to be shed, but the current situation is not a situation quite like that! Besides, I can already picture a situation like that quite clearly, when Sigma treats herself as a garbage by mistake and ends up throwing herself into the trash. And that would end up creating a whole lot more trouble for me than it would really be worth it, so let’s not do that here, seriously.

Not to mention that there is also that other situation that we have to consider. I mean, I just grabbed Sigma right after logging in after coming back from my break, and we escaped from that theatre place into this here Sigmonia Frontline Valley without giving anyone any explanation. But now I was starting to wonder just what was going on in there at the current moment? Oh well, I guess that the only thing that can be done about that now would be to go back there and see it for myself, but……

「How about we conclude this whole situation with calling for an armistice? You don’t have a problem with that, right? And……」

I wanted to say something more in here, but before I was able to do that, I was crushed to death by one of the dead bodies of Fortress Gargantua that just happened to fall over here and crush me to death. I did not even have time to groan or squeal. I swear to God, we are truly on the worst possible terms with those guys. And I don’t think that this is ever going to improve……

…

………

……………

「Uwah, that was helluva dangerous out there…… Yeah, it was a really smart move from me that I have decided to set up this bad boy in here in the first place……」

Crawling out of what was once a makeshift tent and now was nothing but a collapsed ruin, I have returned to the aftermath of the battlefield. But that being said, does that mean I was now recycled? I mean, the old Sanraku was grinded to death and now I was someone completely new and fresh. But still, I’m not so kind of freaking PET bottle, so let’s drop the subject of recycling altogether, shall we……

「But still, it’s my win here…… Kukukuku, and that Extraordinary Skill…… This thing does not look half bad, if I do say so myself……」
