Blade Online

Seeing the battle over, I panicked and opened the bulletin board. When I looked it up before, I didn't find any information about using the same machete as myself. Sure, it's not weird that players other than me are using a machete...

Looking for event-related bulletin boards knocked on the doors of the concourse and the modem.

I didn't even go to ignore it, and when I opened the door and went outside, the exact man I was looking into was standing there.

Gray hair and eyes peered through the gaps in the bandages wrapped around her face. The outfit is riders jackets on top of white shirts, and jeans. It looks like normal clothes but is probably made of special materials and is defensive.

If you look nearby, you are tall and close to 180cm. The body is not as gully but thin.

It's the same knife on my back. It would be quite a user from the fact that he was beating Ra. Why would a guy like that even come to my room?

The door of the room says the name of the person using the room (I'm a silver blade), so I know who's in which room.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Silverblade.

When a man says so in a good voice, he removes the bandage wrapped around his face and shows his face. A neat face in grey eyes. The gray hair is long and the collar leg is extended to the shoulder. The man smiles nicely and looks at this one.

Who is this guy?

"Oh, my name is Katana. Nice to meet you."

"Ah, oh. Uh, what can I do for you?

"For, right. Oh, yeah. Have you seen my battles so far?

"Well, for once..."

The truth is, I only saw the moment I defeated Mr. Ra, but I nod somewhat without being able to say I didn't.

"Aha, I'm glad to hear that. I started using a machete because I saw your tatter. I immediately changed my weapon because I thought it looked good."

"Weapon change......? Did you change your weapon for that reason?

"Huh? Oh, well, there's another reason for that. I'm tired of the weapons I used before."

"I'm tired..."

"The weapon I used before was a double sword. If I had used my two swords properly, they wouldn't have called me Storm Emperor at some point."

What? Hey, what did you just say about this guy?

"Storm Emperor" was definitely the name of two guys who are now said to be the strongest two swordsmen or something. Storm Emperor, one of the top three in line for "The Source of Earthquake" and "Meteor". Is that the guy? Besides, he says he threw away his double sword or something. Besides, I thought you said you weren't going to this event.

"Storm Emperor is... I thought you weren't attending this event.

"Yeah, I was gonna do that at first, hey. I wanted to try using a machete. You've been hiding your face with a bandage to keep you from making a scene."

"Besides... you changed from a double sword to a machete, which means you're out of skill and skill levels of a double sword so far? It's strange to change your weapon so easily even though you were a double sword user enough to be called the Storm Emperor..."

"Uh, why?

Why...... What the hell is this guy... Are you sure it's Storm Emperor?

I feel something frigid at the grin Katana is floating on, and I swallow my cockroaches and spit.

"'Cause this world is a game, right? It's a loss to have full fun! I'm tired of double swords! That's where I found you! That's why I threw away my double sword and decided to use a machete!

"A game could even die in real life if you die in this world!?

"So?"

"- Huh"

This man is something decidedly, fatally different. I can't really explain what that is, but this guy's not normal anyway. I felt there was a fatal discrepancy with this man in my current exchange.

I really can't explain it with my mouth.

"Dead or alive, games are games, right? Then it would be a loss to have as much fun as you want until the end. Didn't you, Mr. Silverblade?"

"You're gonna die, aren't you?

"Hmm? It's a game, and if you get tired of it, pick a different weapon... or try the boss without a healing item. We need to have more, more fun!

…………

"Oh, it's time. Game three, good luck, huh?

That said, Katana turned her back on me and slowly walked away.

…………

What the hell was that? The man now... After all, what are you doing here? Beat the pussy and cheek to shake off the unusual atmosphere Katana was serving.

Fair enough...... Don't you dare go inside the pantry...

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to ask you something"

"Ugh!?

Katana stood right next door.

I jumped as far back as I could surprise. You didn't use "Step" but you jumped quite a bit......

Look at that. Katana scratches her head with a bitter smile and comes one step closer to me.

"I forgot to ask, Silverblade, aren't you hard to use a machete? There's something wrong with the hit decision. Come on. It's hard to use."

"... if you use it all the time, it'll probably be normal."

"Heh! That's right. Thanks! Well, it might be nice to have some fun in this state for a while."

I didn't think it was from that way of putting it, but this man, even though it hasn't been long since you started using a machete, you defeated Mr. Ra? And even though there's something wrong with the hit decision.

Storm Emperor. Seems like he has a lot of strength, regardless of whether this guy is real or not.

"Hmm, and silver blades are long and hard to say. I guess I'd prefer a name that's easier to call.... Oh yeah, sign up for friends with me! I don't have many people registered. Come on!

…………

Awesome. I hate to register, but that's a tough vibe to say no to something. Hey... Still, I tried to say no, but that one didn't wait for my reply. I was ready, I was looking over here with my eyes sparkling, and I couldn't say no, not very much.

You've been doing that for a long time... I can't say no to anything I don't like...

And in the end, I was supposed to sign up for a friend. Well... I didn't tell them I was signing up for a friend, and I didn't tell them that much. I know the name and level, to the extent that I can send messages and make calls.

Registration name Katana. Apparently, Katana was his real name.

Level is 68. It could be true that this guy is the Storm Emperor...

"Oh, you say Akatsuki! Haha, nice to see you again, Akatsuki."

"Ah... oh"

"I don't know what I am, I don't have many friends... Then it's time to go. Good luck with your next fight, Akatsuki."

With that said, it was most likely that Katana left.

―――――――――――――――

Back in the booth, the game before me was just about over. They took a lot of time because I was talking to Katana.

Sit in a chair and drain your body, take a big, deep breath to calm your mood. I don't know what the next guy looks like, but let's just do everything we can.

Warp began to go to the field some time later.

Stand on the field and wait for your opponent to show up. In the meantime, pull out your back machete and stand by so you can fight at any time.

And his opponent was wrapped in green light and appeared on the field.

"Nah............"

Burning red hair. Sharp eyes that frighten the stare. High height overlooking the opponent. And a big sword I carried on my back.

It was a familiar face.

That's the face I saw over a year ago.

This one.

What's this guy's name?

"Gallon......!

A man who abandoned me stood there.
