Chapter 2: 2

Let’s calm down for a moment. Anyway, the important thing is to sort out the situation.

The Demon Lord’s army will attack tomorrow.

I’m a mob guard to be killed by the Demon Lord’s army.

I have no cheat skills.

That’s all. End of the current status check.

–is that all?

No, no, no, don’t give up! Hang in there!

At any rate, I ran out of the room and caught up with the guards, who were leaving the room first and trying to withdraw.

“Hey, can I talk to you for a second?”

“What’s up, Gustav?”

The man who responded was the bearded man who had been standing next to me in the room earlier, and a few of the guards around him.

He said, “Actually, it’s just a social thing tomorrow.”

“? What about it?”

“Believe it or not,.. it looks like the Demon Lord’s army is going to attack the social tomorrow and probably kidnap the princess.”

“…… what? The Demon Army? What are you talking about, Gustav?”

The old man and the guards around him laughed at him as if they were looking at a troubled man.

The Demon King is a character from a story that has only been handed down in lore. How is that possible?

“No, but he’s really coming to kidnap the princess.”

Why?

Why, ……? The actual game is set up so that Princess Leia, instead of being blind, can use a special unique skill called the “Eye of Truth” that allows her to use the ancient great magic. It is revealed in the latter half of the story that the Demon King has kidnapped the Princess to take advantage of this. It is a fact that no guard could possibly know, I don’t expect them to believe me if I tell them such a thing. But I will try to talk about it.

“The Eye of Truth? Princess Leia’s unique skill that only the Demon King knows? Oh, come on, Gustav. You’ve lost your mind, haven’t you?”

“I know it sounds like a lie, but it’s true.”

“…… Gustav, get some rest today. You must be tired.”

“No, really. ……”

Oh, no, the way the guards are looking at me is turning troubled. They are seriously questioning my sanity. Continuing to insist on this is only going to have a negative effect on me.

“I’m sorry for the abruptness.”

“Oh, no problem. I’ll walk you back to your room if you’re tired.”

“No, I’m fine.”

I sent them off, and now I was back to square one.

I knew they didn’t believe me, of course.

I could not involve all the guards in the castle, so I had to think of something I could do on my own, but it was impossible for me to save them all by myself.

The only other thing I can do is to find a way to survive on my own.

It’s awkward to try to save myself when I know we’re all going to die, but there’s not much time left–so I have no choice.

It’s uncomfortable to try to save myself when I know we’re all going to die, but I don’t have much time left, so I have no choice but to.

I’ll just have to do what I have to do. I’ll change my mind.

What can I do to survive and not die? Why do the guards die in the event of the Demon Lord’s attack in the first place? Well, it’s simple. It’s because of the difference in level between them and the minions of the Demon Lord’s army that attacks.

From what I saw in the event video, the Demon Lord’s minions were just ordinary gargoyles. Gargoyles are the monsters that appear in the coal mine in the second area after the heroic hero leaves the kingdom. I think their level was between 12 and 18.

“The level of the gargoyle is more than twice as high as I am now.”

But, if I were to say the difference in level, it would be a little more than 10, and that level can be raised in an hour or so if you play the game like I do. No, I don’t know if it’s the same in this world. But if that’s possible, there’s only one strategy for me to survive tomorrow’s Demon Army attack event.

That’… to get me to level 18 or above in one night, that’s all.

Even if I did get above level 18, it would be reckless to take on dozens of gargoyles all by myself.

“I have no choice but to do my best.”

By the way, there is a way to escape, but it would be better not to.

Incidentally, there is also the option of running away, but it would be better not to do so. If he disappeared before the demon king’s army attacked, he could be suspected of being a spy who helped the demon king’s army to invade and hanged.

Once that is decided, the best thing to do is to hurry. I leave the castle and head out to the castle town. I didn’t go to the meadow outside the town to level up.  But first stopped at a blacksmith shop I was used to going to in the game world.

“….. What is it.”

A grumpy old man greeted me with an annoyed look on his face. He is the owner of this blacksmith shop. It was already eight o’clock in the evening. He was probably about to close the store. But I couldn’t care less about that, given the circumstances.

“Master, can you give me the strongest spear in the store?”

“Oh? that’s the silver lance right there, for 800g.”

“No, I don’t mean that one. No, I don’t mean that one. The legendary lance only sold to the truly powerful.”

“……!”

The old man’s eyes widened.

Well, I’ve played the whole game, for one thing. I know at least the major hidden elements. This blacksmith shop is a long-established blacksmith shop in the castle town that has been around for generations. If the main character reaches level 60 or above, the blacksmith will sell him a legendary weapon that is extremely powerful.

“What’s your level?”

“Well, I’m only at five.”

“Hmph! Then use your bronze lance!”

“No, I really need a stronger weapon! By tomorrow!”

“You can’t have it!”

The old man showed no sign of yielding. I knew it was impossible. Well, it was only natural. I was willing to give it a try.

“I understand. Then I’ll be honest and raise my level and come back again.”

“Good luck with that. Well, I like your attitude of trying to get stronger. Here, I’ll give you this.”

The old man turned away and handed me a necklace. It was the “necklace of agility,” an equipment item. I thought, “Okay, maybe…” I came to the blacksmith shop, and the same event as in the game world occurred. The first time I visited this blacksmith, he gave me the same item for free as he did in the game.

“Thank you very much!”

“Hmph. It’s not for you. It would have been bad if you died in the field with weak equipment and sent to level up.”

…… Hmmm, tsundere. But I appreciate the sentiment.

I immediately put on the necklace. Okay, now my speed is a little higher and I should be less vulnerable to monster attacks. I’m sure I can get three free bottles of potion at the apothecary, so I’ll stop by and then head out to the meadow. I’m going to be up all night today leveling up!

20 hours to go until the attack of the Demon King’s army.
