"Sure enough, it's ninety-nine floors, and there's nothing but the city."

"Because it's close to the top of Ayn Grant's mountain. It seems that there is nothing superfluous at all.

"I'm a player on the 99th floor." Lilan turned to me and said,

"But you're also bold. No way, he came to the 99th floor, and the target was the place where all the other players had stopped moving. \"

"I don't think there's anything I can do. This is where Yuichi the 'Runaway' might be hiding. ”

"Why are we the only ones on the 99th floor doing this?" The reason is, I think that's where the Rangers act.

The "Fugitives" claim to stay away from the 99th floor, but anyone can easily see that this is a provocation. And those who heard this thought that there was a trap on the 99th floor, so they stopped approaching. Some players will still go, though, so I'll let them fall into the trap.

As a result, news of the disappearance of players on the 99th floor spread throughout Ayn Grant, causing players to stop approaching the 99th floor and start looking for the "Fugitive" in the layers outside of the 99th floor. In other words, on the 99th floor, where these players are out of reach, any covert activity or evil can be carried out.

Knowing this, I told Ruiran about it, and made a strategy while everyone was away, aiming at the time when everyone was still sleeping.

During this time, most players are sleeping, and we have told everyone to have a good rest sooner or later in order to fight against "Broken Man". Therefore, no player can stop us. No one confirmed his whereabouts through messages and followed him as he was.

"I'm sorry for everyone, but in order to fight the Shattered Man, you must deliberately fall into the trap of the Broken Man. Someone has no choice but to go to the trap set by the 99th floor. ”

"So you went out and bought it of your own free will? But what do you do if things don't go well?

"Indeed, I'm afraid that Lilan and I alone will not be able to defeat the 'Broken Man'." But even so, by going to the 99th floor in this way, we are still able to uncover the existence of the "fugitives" on the 99th floor.

"He left a lot of fierce men in the attack group." Even if I am defeated by the "Runaway", as long as Asuna, Diabel, and Klein work together to formulate countermeasures based on this information, I should be able to defeat the "Runaway". And you'll be able to go straight to the 100th floor.

"I'm a little uneasy, but I'm not going to be killed by the 'fugitives'."

"Because I am confident that I will not be killed by the 'runaways.'"

"I'm not going to die"

"Why is this happening? \"

I turned to my partner, the wolf dragon, and said what I had said when I had attacked before.

"Because you can't let me die. Right, Lilan? ”

Lilan was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise.

\"Y-You're relying on me!? \"

\"Ah, yes. Despite the near accident, you managed to defeat the "Smiling Coffin Wood" and defeat all the bosses in a row. If you're with me, even if it's a "breakout", I don't want to lose. That's right, Lilan. \"

Lilan stared at me with the same expression, but it didn't take long for him to bow his head slightly and smile.

"People like you are useless without me. Until the end, you were my dependence. ”

"No, no, I told you when you became my companion that you wouldn't let me die, fight me, and reach the hundredth floor."

"Is that so?"

"yes, you forgot what to do? Besides, I haven't forgotten my promise with you. ”

Lilan looked at me with some surprise.

"Promise? Did I promise anything? \"

"Listen, I promised to tell you something important when we got to the 100th floor. That's what I've been thinking about since I heard from you. ”

Her body twitched, and Lilan let out a small 'sound'.

\"I see, I promised you something like that, I completely forgot about it\"

"I felt a slight discomfort at the time." Lilan's memory is much better than ours, and he never forgets his promise. But now Lilan seems to have forgotten a lot of things.

"Take care of yourself, Rylang.

"Anxious? \"

Ruilang looked at me again. Her face still looked a little surprised.

"Are you worried about me?"

\"Eh, I see\"

\"Aren't you worried about Shina? \"

"I couldn't help but be as dumbfounded as Lilan." If I ask you if you're not worried about Shino, you'll shake your head, but I don't understand why you're talking about Shino now. Moreover, the person I have to fight now is not Shiina, but Lilan.

"Well, I'm worried about Shino. The one fighting me now is you, Lilan. If something goes wrong, it's a good thing to worry about you. \"

"You are"

Lilan suddenly turned her face away from me. I couldn't decipher Lilan's actions just now, and I was confused.

"What's wrong, Lilan? You're weird. ”

\"Me or Shiina, which one is more important to you\"

"Huh?"

"The sudden question surprised me again."

"Shino became my wife, and Yui was the one woman who accepted me. \"

Lilan is a wolf dragon that will stay by my side and protect me from any monsters in dangerous battles.

"Both of them are with the people who have supported me so far
