d you earlier, that it’s hard to get back here, right? That’s because you cannot respawn in the Ghost Float town if you are killed.”

Well, that was certainly different…
Usually when a player was killed, they would be forced to return to the last town they were in.

“If you haven’t unlocked fast travel, you will not be able to return, unless you are lucky enough to see the Ghost Airship passing by again.
Not only that, but the requirement for unlocking fast travel is quite severe.
In fact, I believe only a handful of the players running around now have done it.
I haven’t unlocked it myself! That’s why I targeted someone I thought I could beat!”

While it wasn’t against the rules, it wasn’t a really good motive either…
However, I wasn’t the kind of person to be judgmental of someone else’s playstyle, so I didn’t say anything… But it apparently showed on my face anyway.
The man frantically corrected himself.

“Wait! Wait! I’m not like you.
It’s not just about purely enjoying the combat! But player vs player videos are really popular right now! And it’s mostly your fault!”

“What?”

“The Charin battle! Macoco and VRHAR’s super play was like something from a far away world, but the way that you and your team fought, it was something many players wanted to copy.
But they cannot beat Charin.
And so they have started to search for opponents that they can beat.
There are many prank-like videos being uploaded now of players being ambushed!”

“What…”

Prank videos were always popular at any age.
And the more extreme ones tended to get a lot of attention.
Well, if that was the kind of area this was, then I would accept it.
The problem was, how would I avoid such players while I explored this place…

“Thank you.
I understand the situation now.”

“Don’t mention it! Meeting you has changed the way that I think.
Yes, it’s not cool to look for and fight people who are weaker than you! So from now on, I will be someone who kills players who kills other players.
A player killer killer! A champion of justice! That way, people won’t send me hate online!”

“Uh…good luck then.”

The man looked very enthusiastic as he left.
Killing player killers, huh…
I might have to do something like that, if I wanted to survive on this Ghost Float.

In any case, I should have Garbow summoned at all times.
While he wouldn’t warn me about other players, AI were never surprised, which was good for ambushes.
Also, I would have to listen for any sounds.
Perk my ears and search the area…

“Ahhhhhhhh!!”

I heard a scream that shook my eardrums.

Wasn’t that the guy I was just talking to…?
Had he already encountered a player killer?
This place was so violent…

“Ah, if it isn’t Mr.
Kyuji! Have you’ve forgotten me again?”

The person who was attacking the guy I was talking to a moment ago, was the plain-looking man I had met on the Ghost Airship.
He was wielding a whip.
As for the other guy, he had already been hit, so his armor was cracked and his body was disappearing.
In other words, he had been killed…!

“I’m sorry that I didn’t introduce myself before.
This…is who I am.”

Suddenly, his clothes changed to a bright, green suit.
At the same time, the whip started to wriggle around like slime.

“I’m Slime Man, from the pro gamer troll team Mad Slime.
I owe you one… Well, I am very pleased to have been blessed with another opportunity to fight you! I would very much like to record your defeat and post it on our channel as proof of our revenge…!”

…Shit.
In spite of everything that was said, I still don’t even remember him!
But that whip seemed familiar.
And so I should know.
But I didn’t.
I felt bad… He was even acting for his video, but I didn’t know what to say…

However, I understood that he was a skilled player, and that he intended on fighting me.
In that case, I would fight him with all of my power.
Surely I could use it against him.
The Miracle Effect, Ballista…!
