A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 232: Subjugating Cultists (1)

The incident caused by the time stop has been concluded.

Retired like a strange cartoon somewhere! It didn't happen that Space didn't appear anymore, but at least they didn't play tricks on us.

The next day, at the highlight of the magic show, when Asil saw Space sticking his head out with his swollen face barely covered by a mask, he got a little angry and said, 'That bastard is so shameless!'

Anyway, you can say it ended well.

Flora only fainted, but when she woke up, she was completely fine, and Asil also calmed down when he saw Flora's condition.

Since Flora is fine, I feel no more guilty.

There was about one person who got beat up, but wasn't that because he was greedy in his own way?

The incident completely ended with the last show ending and the troupe leaving the city.

Now it's time for Soira's exciting adventure to begin again.

However, when I was a little worried about what to do from now on, Asil spoke up first.

"Soira."

"Why, do you know?"

"Let's take a request."

"Request? Well, it doesn't matter. "Is there a request you'd like to receive?"

"It's not a request in particular, but I also want to take a test."

Asil said that and tapped his wrist.

The object tied to the wrist is a bracelet-shaped door to the spirit world.

"If it's a test, you've tried it, right? "Last time I went with your spirits, I was giggling."

"Wow, I heard it was on a different level, so I was worried and had high expectations, but it was amazing. It was a shame that I was the only one who could go in and out. No, that's also true, it just means I want to use it in battle as well."

"Actually, I knew that's what it meant from the beginning."

"Hey!"

While teasing Asil as usual, we headed to the adventurer's guild.

As Asil said, regardless of whether I would receive a request that required combat, I thought I would at least check what kind of request there was.

Flora was also excited to try out the newly acquired equipment in real life.

Actually, so do I. What I do know is that I've already used it a few times for non-combat purposes, and Flora has measured its power once, but I've never used my shield since I got it.

Damage resistance 90%.

Based on my impressions of hitting the shield with my fist, the moment I hit the shield with my fist, it felt like the impact was dispersed as if I had hit a sponge.

How about this shield in actual combat? It seems to be much more effective when the opponent is a large monster than when the opponent is a person.

Now that I think about it, it seemed like it had been a long time since I stopped by the Adventurer's Guild.

At least when I was at the Academy, I never visited the Adventurer's Guild.

I had never stopped by a guild in this city, but I knew where it was, so I was looking through the request board to find the adventurer's guild.

"Excuse me... "

"Huh?"

When someone spoke to me, I turned around and saw a woman who looked a little timid. Since she was wearing the uniform of the Adventurer's Guild, she seemed to be the guild's receptionist.

"Are you Soira?"

"That's right. Do you know me?"

Is this another nomination request?

Luke said he would be kind to her, but she had already submitted her request?

But fortunately, that wasn't the case.

"I have a few requests prepared for Soira's party, and I'd like you to take a look at them as well."

It was something similar.

"A prepared request? "Is it different from a nomination request?"

When I asked that, the receptionist said with a strange expression.

"What? In the document, it says that Soira promises to raise you to B rank if you take on and solve one of the requests presented by the guild. Isn't that right?"

"Ah..."

Come to think of it, I did make that promise.

This was the offer she made to me after receiving Luca's letter of recommendation from the guild, right after solving the academy incident.

Of course, she completely forgot about it during her one semester at the academy.

No, I'm so busy doing assignments, training, and playing at the academy, where do I have time to make requests?

I was so busy that I only managed to rob Luke's warehouse a few days before the end of the semester, and there was no way I had time to take on a request from the Adventurer's Guild.

The adventurer's guild with which I exchanged a promise at that time was not a branch of this city, but it seems that so much time had passed that the document spread as quickly as possible.

"Did you remember? Then please come this way."

The receptionist said so and headed to the reception desk first.

"Soira, what are you going to do?"

"Ah... Um, Flora. What do you think?"

"Wouldn't it be better to listen to the story first? "I didn't promise that I had to receive a request."

"It did. Good. Let's hear it first."

I brushed Flora's hair once, as she was now able to assert herself, and then followed behind the receptionist.

There were already several requests listed in front of the receptionist.

"There are a few requests, right? "You just have to choose one of these."

'It piled up like this because you didn't come. The reason it sounds like 'choose quickly' is because I'm being stabbed, right?

As the receptionist said, there were many requests listed, and the types were diverse.

From gathering to investigation and subjugation requests.

If there is one thing in common, it is that they were all requests that seemed extremely annoying.

Asking them to collect rare mushrooms that are occasionally reported to be found deep in dungeons, or asking them to find beaked, egg-laying mammals of unknown where they live.

Of course, I had no intention of accepting such collection or research requests in the first place.

Asil said, and since I also planned to receive battle-oriented requests, my gaze naturally turned towards subjugation requests.

It doesn't seem like there will be a simple subjugation request that ends with just charging in and wiping it out...

"Soira. How about this?"

"Flora?"

The request that Flora pointed to, who was looking at the request from her side, was also one of the subjugation requests.

The content was [Suppression of cultists].

"This? Why?"

Before I knew it, a bit of annoyance came out in my voice, but I hope you understand.

Quests related to cultists were the more troublesome of the subjugation quests.

That's right, even though most of them were crazy, they were still human.

It meant knowing how to use strategy and tactics.

These guys could use crudely made traps, poisons, and even special abilities depending on the god they believed in. They could rightly be called lucky goblins.

It was the same, even crawling out from somewhere if you forgot.

Naturally, the difficulty level of subjugation was not normal.

Except for priests and warriors, commoners are just like ordinary people, so they can be dealt with like thieves, but they also know that they are weak, so they hide desperately, so it was difficult to find them.

After receiving a tip that it was a village of cultists, I visited it and found out that it was in fact an ordinary village with no sins, which was so clichéd as to be.

So, I was curious as to why Flora suggested subjugating such troublesome cultists.

"Look at the client."

"Who do you think it is? ... Aha."

After checking the client as Flora pointed out, I was able to understand the reason.

It was a request from a certain denomination. A place that is familiar to us.

But I guess Asil didn't remember it well.

"Huh? Where am I?"

"I do not remember? "It's where we first received a request together."

"First... Ah! Is it there?"

It was only then that Asil realized which denomination we were talking about and let out an exclamation.

It was the church that housed the saint who had given the request to Asil and us, who were alone with Flora at the time, to investigate the erotic trap dungeon.

It may be rude to remember it this way, but he was a person with a big heart.

"This wasn't specifically a nomination request from us, was it?"

"Yes. "I just passed on the troublesome work to the guild."

"Excuse me... I'm not passing it on to you, but just like I promised last time... "

The receptionist said something, but I didn't pay any attention.

"Still, I heard that it was a request from the church where that saintess is from last time, so I feel like I want to help. Because he was good to us."

Originally, it would have been impossible for us, who had no status or contacts, to meet alone with the saint, but she was a grateful person who not only listened to her story but even did a favor under the pretext of a request.

I still don't know why he showed such favor.

Flora also had a great deal of favor towards the saint.

"I like him too. Our king... "He also said good things about his hometown."

Flora had already told Asil that she was a princess, but Flora was conscious of her surroundings and changed the word.

I guess so. After that she traveled many places, but the only person she saw who mentioned Flora's hometown was the saint.

"Then shall we do this request? I guess I'll have to do one of these anyway."

"I agree."

"Good."

In this way, our party's next destination was decided.
