Chapter 28 – PK and Thunder

Posted on November 19, 2021 by Ririka☆

Hi everyone! I’m currently in the Southern Forest!

And I’m lost!

… How did this happen…

――――         

――

「Hey. Suzu~」

「Hm~?」

「Are you sure it’s this way~?」

「… I don’t understand~?」

「…」

「…」

「Again!?」

「I-It can’t be helped… It’s the same scenery everywhere I look…」

「Ku… !」

Suzu stares at me with a sense of disappointment.

What time is it… I became vulnerable to this face… I don’t remember, but that doesn’t matter. Suzu is cute.

「Forgive me… ?」

「N-No. T-T-Today, I won’t allow it!!」

「… You’ve got a really shaky voice…」

「What did you say?」

「It’s nothing… So, why can’t you just forgive me… ?」

Ryoka’s upturned eyes attack!!

「Kuu… B-But…」

「No… ?」

「… Fine…」

It’s decideeeeed! The winner, Ryoka! The prize is a ticket to go out with Ayane!

「Yay!! Then let’s go out in summer vacation!!」

「Un… Eh!?」

「Thank you!! Bye――」

That’s how we decided on the date of our outing.

We hadn’t even gone on the outing that we had decided on before we left Selkadia, and now we had another appointment…

It’s not that I don’t want to play with Suzu, but… ? No, I’m happy… But it’s just… It’s just that it doesn’t make sense… Huh? Déjà vu… ?

As I was running my thoughts through my head, Suzu grabbed my hand and started to walk away.

This was supposed to be the forest where the undead come out, but the atmosphere was charming from the outside.

「So, what are you really going to do… ?」

「…… Shall we keep going?」

「… I understand」

「All right! Let’s do this!」

「Un!」

「Otto… !?」

「!?」

――Kiiin!

Suddenly, out of nowhere, an arrow flies through the sky and I knock it down with my sword. Today’s sword of choice is the Homurakazezanmaru.

「Ehh? You’re good」

I heard a voice of a man, and then many men came out to surround us.

「… What do you want?」

Suzu, on the other hand, is a bit pissed off… A little scary…

「What do we want… Huh?」

「You know what I’m talking about right?」

The taunts of the men echoed through the forest.

「… PK, huh…」

「PK?」

「In this game, it’s easier to gain experience by hunting players than by hunting monsters」

「Ehh~」

「That’s what I’m talking about」

「You’ll die for us, won’t you?」

「――I refuse」

「I see. Then die… Go」

「「「「U ooo!!」」」」

Three people are coming at me from behind, and on both sides… The one behind me is slightly faster.

「Eat this!!」

「Oraa!」

「Fuun!!」

「《Thunderbolt》!」

「… Fu!」

Leaving the right one to Suzu, I slashed at the person behind me with the Reizanmaru I had switched to during the conversation.

―――Bachin!!

――Zashu!!

Oh? I like this sword, it’s easy to cut… The difference? Well… Normally, I’m a little reluctant to cut heads, but this one cuts right through!

Huh? Isn’t it pointless because you’ll die from it in the end… ?

N-No! For boss fights!! You can also use it against hard opponents!!

「Abababababababa! ? ! ?」

「Guhee! !」

「You son of a bitch! !」

「We’re girls! !」

「That’s right! 《Water Cutter》!!」

「Gah… !?」

「… What a surprise… I thought it was a fluke earlier, but… Then…」

After all 3 of them had turned to light, the men came to attack with 6 more.

Without a heartbeat, the 6 people who attacked me seem to be lacking in sharpness.

「Yaa! !」

「《Thunder Rain》! !」

「Guha! !」

「Agagagagaga! !」

「Yan~! !」

「Ababababa! !」

Was there someone strange just now… ?

「…… I don’t see the point in letting them go?」

「It’s no use! After all, I have my beloved Aya here! !」

「Wa! ? … S-Stop it… ? ///」

(((((What a cute little creature)))))

Regardless of whether they were friend or foe, the cuteness connected everyone’s hearts.

Author’s Notes:

? ? ? 「You can make kawaii!」

? ? ? 「PK Thunder ! !」

Isn’t PK Thunder difficult? Especially when you come back…

TL. Earthbound is great, and so is Smash… but I’m not good at it…

PK Thunder (PKサンダー, PK Thunder) is the up special move for Ness and Lucas. The move creates a stream of lightning consisting of two parts: a circular “head” which is controlled by the player using the control stick or d-pad, and a “tail” which follows behind. As control stick and d-pad inputs are used to aim PK Thunder, Ness and Lucas are unable to move or defend while the move is active. PK Thunder can be aimed into opponents to deal damage with the head and stun with the tail.
