At this pace, won’t her bullets be running out first…?

Even if she defeats the eagles, isn’t this that infamous hell? Isn’t it impossible to get out…?

Just thinking about how she doesn’t even know it is a place with no exit and is desperately doing her best is so painful it makes me want to puke from the stress…

-9: Anonymous from Earth

Don’t say it.

Don’t say anything.

-12: Anonymous from Earth

The viewers that don’t know about that hell can cheer for her and tell her to do her best, but that’s impossible for me. It is so pitiful, I just can’t. I’m crying here.

-14: Anonymous from Earth

I will just listen to the result…

The 1st group had 300 people dying after all… No matter how much preparation Celica and Karen do, the chances of surviving a situation like this are lower…

Can’t you escape from an eagle by running?

-21: Anonymous from Earth

It is so big, I don’t think it would be possible.

If it grabs you, you are done for.

-26: Anonymous from Earth

It must be pretty stressful while it is chasing after you, and if it were to gather up with the other eagles, end of the line.

-30: Anonymous from Earth

If you get grabbed by those claws, THE END.

Humans die just from being dropped from a high place.

I definitely don’t want to see Nanami-tan getting eaten by an eagle while still alive.

-35: Anonymous from Earth

She has the Barrier Stone, so she might be able to escape if she manages well, but I don’t know about the eagles. I do feel as if they would stay the whole time there until the barrier’s effect runs out. It is a bird of prey after all.

It looks like there’s quite a lot of Chosen who have been thrown to weird places and are in a dangerous situation.

What’s with that darts transfer thing? Would you normally choose something like that…?

-43: Anonymous from Earth

The darts transfer gives you 5 points and, on top of that, if you hit the sea, you can retry.

-44: Anonymous from Earth

Even if so…

-47: Anonymous from Earth

In terms of distance, Nanami-chan is decently close to Hikaru. She was thrown almost in the very middle of the Ringpill Continent. Just that she had a bit of bad luck and fell into a high level danger zone…

-48: Anonymous from Earth

In the middle of the continent makes it sound nice, but there’s quite a lot of distance. Not only are the roads not properly maintained, she is going on foot, right? Even if she managed to get out of that hell, it would take 10 days or more.

-50: Anonymous from Earth

At worst, even Nanami-chan would bet everything in Random Transfer at least. She won’t get helplessly killed.

-52: Anonymous from Earth

Random Transfer, huh… Well, it is better than hell -as long as your luck doesn’t suck.

Can’t you just spam Random Transfer until you get a good place?

You can only do Random Transfer once per person.

She can also do a point loan, so I want her to get out somehow.

Wonder what the build of Nanami-chan is.

I feel like she put points in Physical Strength Up.

If she were to open the tab in the Status Board, we would be able to tell, but it doesn’t look like she has the time to do something like that.

How many places are considered hell?

Don’t know. There shouldn’t be that many.

By the way, even if you manage to crawl out from it, there might not be any human settlements nearby.

-96: Anonymous from Earth

It is not like there’s Chosen who are investigating the hells after all. It is more of a place that you get introduced to as having a superb view.

How about jumping out with a short teleport scroll? That teleports you horizontally, so there might be a chance with it.

I see, I see. The short teleport scroll, huh.

I got teleported inside a rock!

*One with a rock*

No, it is not that hard of an item to use. If it were to teleport you inside a rock at every opportunity, it would be useless.

Well, it is indeed scary, but it is worth trying it out. Or has there been someone who has tried?

You can only float 10 meters at most with that.

If she runs, she should be able to reach a wall. The problem is what to do from there.

Or more like, there’s a lot of giant creatures we haven’t seen in that region.

Is this a lost world?

-174: Anonymous from Earth

It is a region where the original ecosystem remains. If it were an RPG, it could be wrapped up with a half-assed explanation like being a region where the monsters are strong, but in our sense of values, it is like an endangered zone that ‘must be protected’.

Nanami-chan is rushing guns blazing, but those eagles might be an endangered species.

I get your point, but this is not Earth. There’s different laws, different rights, and different logic.

The people who are young apparently get more points, but God probably takes into account the decision making in situations like this. Each and every decision can cement whether you live or die -she doesn’t understand that at all.

Most of this world has not been explored by the Chosen yet. They end up living in the settlements so, in the end, they mostly live a life not that different from the natives.

That’s exactly why people ‘who want to do something’ were prioritized in the 2nd group.

-263: Anonymous from Earth

I was deceived by the plain appearance of Nanami-chan, but maybe she is really high spec…?

By living with those trascendental twins, your concept of ‘normal’ just crumbles after all. There’s plenty of possibility you get pulled up by them and turn high spec.

I saw somewhere that it is pretty difficult to lie with Communication. Moreover, we are talking about a monster here.

She probably properly got transmitted that it is not dangerous.

Monstrosities are actually pretty rare beings. Even the giant monkey that showed up at Hikaru’s side is the last step of the giant monkey after living several decades after all. Creatures that have turned into monstrosities normally die in less than half a year, you know.
