ShangriLa Frontier ~ Shitty Games Hunter Challenges Godly Game ~

I feel that I have finally managed to regain my calm thoughts by tapping my head lightly. But I have no time to get lost in those thoughts here, since I still have things that I need to do and focus on so that I can finally leave this place.

But that is more than enough to make me feel sure about this. I couldn’t say that it was one hundred percent certainty, but I think that taking the initiative in this world is the last missing piece of the puzzle…… And if I think that the group of Decorative Trucks are genuine allies of the other “Sanraku”, then there is only one countermeasure I can take against that. That’s what I arrived at after narrowing down my options and possibilities.

So I jump off the highway and glide tens of meters to the ground with the help Hermes Boots. The destination is, of course, the place where Sigma was currently standing at.

「Master.」

「Okay, listen here, Sigma, because I am going to be very brief about it. This is going to be the last order that I am going to give you, so even if it makes you want to cry or laugh, just deal with it for the time being.」

It was a simple message. It caused Sigma’s eyes to widen in surprise for a moment out there, but nevertheless she gracefully bowed her head while still basking in the spotlight, perhaps being able to sense that I was seriously onto something in here.

「…… Give me your order, then. This machine is your contracted Doll, after all. I am something that is close to you and I am always going to be with you. This machine that I am ––––––」

「Make this quick, why don’t you? We don’t have much time! It’s not something that I would normally bother myself to say, but…… Listen here, I can do what “”it” can do all the same. Then following that logic, you can do what “she” can do as well. That’s exactly why ───」

* * *

「─── And that’s exactly why. If Mirrors always do the same thing, then you can do it just as well as them.」

「…………… There is no confirmation for that theory. It is currently impossible to give a complete answer as to what kind of process the machine is going through, even with my computing power.」

What Sanraku asked of Sigma was to basically tell her to go crazy without giving her any plausible explanation or reference for his order.

And to no surprise, Sigma denied that order based on logic and present evidence. But then she turned back towards Sanraku after turning her head away and pondering something for a short while.

「─── However, I affirm this order on an illogical basis.」

Just leave it to me.

There was no real reply, just Sigma’s back wearing her long robe swaying in the night breeze. It was the ultimate form of a reply, a sign of ultimate trust between two partners.

According to her Contractor, this version of Orchestra is pouring all of its power into the highways that run around the world inside the theatre. When Elise Jitter Doll appeared, it was a battle for world leadership, but now it’s the other way around. Sakishima Elma is forming a highway with strong interference by handing over most of the world’s initiative to Sigma without even realizing it.

If so, it is only natural that the same thing can be done by Sigma, seeing that the copies can do everything that the originals can do, but better. Sanraku’s order is to use the same power as Elma. Abandon the world and just sing the symbol you envision in your mind.

But how? How is she going to do it? The information possessed by NPC called Sigma does not produce enough to convince the method being plausible. Since the Orchestra is still a black box in the first place, it is impossible to clarify the principle it is using in its operations in the first place.

However, what the NPC named Sigma has gained up to this point leads her song in the direction of the correct answer.

「……………What kind of scene do you want to happen, my Master? The contractor of this machine?」

「That’s right, let me think about it real quick……. I was just looking up at those skyscrapers.」

Says Sanraku, while his fingers slowly unfolded and showed Sigma the object from his inventory onto which he was holding to.

It was a strange Ōdachi with a strange and distorted box as a scabbard, a sword given to Sanraku by the immortal Bunny which has been sleeping inside of his inventory for a long time now.

Neither Sanraku himself nor Sigma the NPC, who is not registered as a sub-server so she would not know this, but this thing is actually a weapon dedicated for a very specific event, an object that is one and only in the entire game world, serving little purpose outside of its dedicated form of usage. A cannon that used to belong to a limited amount of objects long ago in this world, which is pretty much non-existent as of now.

「Now then, Big Brother…… I’ve come to be able to cut the wind as promised. So does that mean that I am finally going to learn how to wield this thing properly? Is it going to be expanded here……?」

In other words, it is a weapon of huge caliber, capable of eradicating large-scale threats with ease. It is a blade trained by the Immortal Weissash for the purpose of “a certain endeavor” that harbors one of the three disasters that once roamed the world free and destroyed it to nothingness.

An asphalt road swells and writhes like a snake or a dragon. Even the rails of the roller coaster are already creating a chaotic circuit that is a little more cohesive than what this thing is doing right now. It may have noticed that the target Sanraku is standing on the ground, and the other “Sanraku” plunges down while smashing the incoming Decorative Trucks aside. With the coming of the raging red beast, everything was set up as it should have been.

「Sigma…… The floor is all yours! Now take me to the sky!」

「Roger that, Master!」

Skyscraper is one of Sakishima Elma’s songs. So it’s Elma’s longing. It’s filled with Elma’s feelings through and through. But it still won’t be able to match the miracle that is going to be Sigma’s song, put together from scratch!

And if so,

「─── Far away, so close, far away, but so close, I have always dreamt of the back comet that runs through the sky.」

The leading tune Sakishima Elma’s “Skyscraper”, but the words Sigma spins are different from the lyrics of Elma’s song.

「The indomitable glory of the past, the majesty that rubs the heavens, the unbreakable passion. Seeing you off on your journey and traveling together to open up the world while I remained in our hometown.」

I have no need of the wide world. To Elma, the side where her dear Master who challenges her copy is the right side, the one that can reach the heavens higher than anyone else have done ever before.

The “N” Patch, its official name is actually “Namida” Patch. If Sigma was already a person with fully developed complex emotions, it would have been just a parody, but the feelings she put into the song right now are unmistakable and true.

「Even though I’m dead now, even in death I am still here. I’m still in the sky, I’m still sending out your dreams. In my longing, I’m rooted in this feeling ––––––」

Those are unmistakable tears in Sigma’s eyes, neither the ones of sadness nor the ones of joy. Information, emotions that exceed the capacity of the Conquest Doll spill as warm and transparent drops from her cheeks.

There’s a crack running throughout the world. Because the two “Divas” sing only for the warrior who wields the sword, the world released from both of them starts to collapse.

The night sky cracks like glass with a loud and disturbing noise, but in such a perishing world, there are two things that give off a certain brilliance nonetheless.

The road or a highway and “Star Sanraku” that travels a long distance and carves the fastest straight line that you have ever seen in your life.

And there’s one more. Trust and likability can be built into the main pillars of cooperation between people. Go higher! Go higher! Go higher than anyone else before you has gone! Towards the sky, oh brave warrior!

The Diva Sigma doesn’t even wipe her tears that are still flowing down her cheeks, and she glances at a distant warrior. Her feelings will come to fruition, if you quietly put her name in her mouth while smiling at that thought, which also rubs the very fabric of heavens themselves ───

「─── Skyscraper “Matenro”.」

The final battle begins between the lead “Sanraku” and the heavenly Sanraku.
