Chapter 120: Embracing the Light of Ambition Part 6 Part 2
Frankly speaking, Saiga-0 was not all that gung-ho about fighting Luukan as her sister and Guild mates.
Sure, she wanted to defeat it with her own hands. But she was also a realist about it.
Being completely honest, even the way she is now, Saiga-0 didn’t think she would be able to defeat Luukan.
「Aaah, that’s right! What’s important is here and now! As long as you’re having fun, it doesn’t matter what the future may bring to you!」
If they defeat Luukan, it’s all good! Should they get defeated, they will have to start this whole area over from the very beginning, which would only increase the amount of time they would have to spend together.
For Saiga-0 it would be ideal, but for Sanraku, probably not so much.
Better yet, they could get themselves killed on purpose. Their opponent is a Unique Monsters that took out a whole squad of SF-Zoo. It wouldn’t be strange for that monster to easily defeat two lonely players with ease.
(…… Disgusting. How shallow of me.)
Saiga-0 suddenly came to her senses and upon realizing what she was trying to do scolded herself. She should instead take the initiative here and aim for the best result possible. It was unthinkable for her to inconvenience others just so that she could profit off of it.
Still, Saia-0 was ashamed of herself that she wasn’t strong enough to beat Luukan all on her own.
Looking to the side, there was Sanraku with his bird mask. He seemed to be thinking about something on his own, but his eyes were staring right at Luukan this whole time.
She couldn’t tell what exactly he was thinking, but one thing she knew for sure.
(Surely, he can’t be having much fun right now.)
There was a precious jewel right in front of him, but he was hesitant to grab it. Too many thoughts were clouding his judgement.
It was all Saiga-0’s imagination and assumptions, but incidentally they happened to be spot-on.
That is why there was only one thing she could say to Sanraku.
It’s the thing she always thought when she saw him going back home with a new game in the bag.
「Sanraku, -san…… Let’s do this. And if we can’t beat Luukan, let’s at least enjoy ourselves to the fullest while trying!」
Ahh, I said it. Good. Saiga-0 thought to herself.
When Sanraku came to her and asked her for help with clearing this dungeon, Saiga-0 was ecstatic to the point where she was basically ready to start dancing on the spot.
That is why Saiga-0 could get serious right now. Because she was not alone. She had someone beside her who was worthy of witnessing her going all out and having a blast while doing it.
And since Sanraku received two curse marks from Luukan, it means that he was a worthy opponent acknowledged by the beast itself. He would surely be able to keep up with her.
Saiga-0 smiled to herself. She couldn’t be sure of that, but she knew deep down inside that Sanraku was currently smiling as well behind the mask.
「…… Let’s do this. And if we can’t beat it, let’s at least enjoy it with all of our might!」
Those words were so impactful that they made me stop thinking what I was thinking about in but a second.
I could say that they were a real eye-opener for me. I then looked at Rei with astonishment.
Rei kept on staring at me. I couldn’t be sure, but I somehow knew that behind her helmet, she was smiling right now.
「…… Fu, Fufufufu…… Kukuku…… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA……!!!」
I smiled as well. Or rather, I was so happy that my happiness overflowed and changed into a fit of laughter.
Yes, that’s right. There was nothing to think about. Damn you, Pencilgton, trying to steal all the fun away from me even if you weren’t here.
To run away or to face it…… It was so simple of a matter that worrying about it was downright stupid.
Thinking ahead is good and all, but the most important thing is to have fun and not get bored with the game.
We can think about item disposition later, for now it doesn’t really matter.
So what if Rei raises a flag of Luukan as well! Like I care!
What if Black Wolves monopolize Luukan and manage to defeat it first? Let Pencilgton worry about that stuff!
Nice, even though it was the middle of the night, for me it felt as radiant as the middle of the sunny day. Whatever happens from now on, I’ll just leave the future problems to the future me. As for now……
「Let’s do this, Rei. No matter if we win or lose, it’s still going to be better than sitting here on our asses and debating things aimlessly.」
「…… Right!」
Better prepare your ass, Luukan! I’ll show you the power of the level ninety nine Extended! This won’t be like the last time, I can promise you that!
