ShangriLa Frontier ~ Shitty Games Hunter Challenges Godly Game ~

sten to me, all of you.
You must all try to calm down, alright? Calm down.
I know that you must be afraid, but I need you all to try to calm down and take it easy.
Take a deep breath…… Inhale and then exhale.
Now close your eyes and think this to yourself: ‘The sky is white, my skin is pale.’ Alright? Think you can all do that for me? If you understood me, you can say yes.
You can say no.
You can shake your head.
Or you can do whatever you want.
Or even better.
Say: ‘Yes, Ma’am’!」

「…… I think that you’re the one who should calm down first, Sanraku.」

「On the other hand, do you have any other idea how to calm them all down? If someone thinks that they can do a better job than me right now, then please, by all means, step right up! Let’s see how it goes!」

Alright, that seemed to have done the trick.
Everyone, including the NPCs, seems to be calm enough to be able to listen to my explanation without throwing that much of a fit.
There was also Straude to take care of, but here all it took for the stupid shithead to calm down was a good old karate chop to the head.
But maybe it was too hard, because for a moment out there his eyes seemed to have rolled inside of his skull.

「I don’t know the exact details, but I think I’m starting to get what the hell is going on here.」

When it comes to bugs, it’s not that simple of a matter.
Sometimes the bugs are bad, but sometimes they can be really helpful to the players, even possessing the power to defeat the last boss easily.
But more often than not you just get a bug that one shots you out of nowhere, even though there were no enemies nearby.
Incidentally, bugs like that tend to occur because of a very simple, and also very stupid reason.
You see, sometimes the developers get to change some things around the maps at the very last possible moment, and during adjustments like that they tend to “forget” to remove mobs that were in the places that were being changed.
This results in a strange state where the “invisible” mob from the previous map overlays with the new textures and can attack the players without them even realizing what is going on.
You hear about things like that being discovered in games all the time.

Normally it’s all good if things like that keep on happening in the areas you are yet to discover, but it can be pretty annoying when you accidentally raise an event flag or need some items and materials that can only be obtained from those bug-ridden locations.
The fear and anxiety the trips to such places can induce is something else entirely.

「Okay, so here’s the thing: for now the only thing I know for sure is that something tends to happen each time of Kutanid’s tentacles glows.」

「Blue light reverses the gender, and the green light reverses the color palette of everything within your field of view.」

「Umm…… You’re Rust, right?」

「…… My eyes are finally starting to get used to all this.」

Apparently Rust and Mold got turned into characters taken straight out of the pages of a shoujo manga.
Rust was a handsome guy who was rubbing the pace in between his brows for some reason and Mold got turned into a well-proportioned girl who was mumbling to herself all this time.

「…… Are we going to wait and see what Kutanid does next?」
