Surprise Waiting Back Home

Hey, Shun here!

Whenever I'm watching a video that is funny, I take care not to drink any beverages at all. I don't want to spit water all over the screen after all.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

(Shun's POV)

Pochi, Tama, Tsuka and Rikka-san ran towards the suspicious man. They were yelling, "Punish the bully~!" and something along those lines.

I've heard of him from the forums. He seems to be called Train Man by the players he victimized due to the sight of him pulling numerous monsters.

After giving the girls the buffs they needed, I took out an ATTACK, SPEED, and MIND [Boost Marbles] to increase my stats before taking out my [Windbreaker's Silver Longbow] and a [Stone Arrow +10], before aiming it at the mob of monsters.

""Rapid Fire Bow — Shotgun Barrage" and, "Lower Matter Conversion"."

The single [Stone Arrow +10] on my quiver changed into 10 different arrows as it flew midair. I learned this trick during my time in Rokuko's dimension. Yes, I wasn't always in my [NWO] avatar. I also used my time to practice my archery skills.

Turns out that, if I time it right, I could fire the arrow and, the moment I release it, I'd cast [Lower Matter Conversion] to it. This will result on the arrows splitting mid air.

When I'm using this [Arts], the accuracy of the [Rapid Fire Bow — Shotgun Barrage] also increases dramatically. I mean, it makes sense since all the arrows were like they were released in one point, making it truly look like a shotgun.

""Bow Skill — Gust of Wind"!"

By the way, [Gust of Wind] deals magical damage along the path that the arrow travels towards, that's why I took an INT [Boost Marble]. It doesn't deal that much damage but it could work wonders against the small fries that this Train Man pulled.

Beside me, Mutsuko-san is busy throwing her weapons towards the monsters without much thought. Did I mention that she only missed two or three times during all the throwing that she's been doing?

Whilst we were busy dealing with the monsters, the Train Man and the girls passed a few ways away from us. Pochi, Tama, and Rikka-san were hot on his heels while Tsuka seems to have understood that she couldn't catch up to the guy with her current speed and decided to face the monsters that the Train Man were pulling instead.

I took care of the monsters Tsuka could not deal with while leaving those that she could barely deal with alive. Since I have the leisure to do so, I watched the ongoing chase seen that was happening.

The Train Man weaved through the thick trees and thickets as he tries to throw Pochi, Tama, and Rikka-san who's trailing behind him. I say trailing behind him but Pochi is really far away from him and only Rikka and Tama are catching up to him.

He's mostly been running without looking back all this time but, from time to time, he would look back to check the position of Rikka-san and Tama. However, he was surprised when he only spotted Rikka-san and not Tama.

Little did he know, Tama is already five meters away from him. How did she do it? Well, she did a little parkour trick, kicking the sides of the trees in order to bypass the ragged terrain at the bottom.

""Dark Pulse"~!" Once the Train Man entered her spell's range, Tama casted it immediately.

[Dark Pulse] is the spell that a [Dark Magic Talent] Sense user could learn at level 15. This spell is an AoE spell that deals a little bit of magic damage while slowing down the enemy that was hit by it by 30%.

The great thing about this spell is, it also deals DoT damage and it could stack up to four times. Due to his lowered speed, Rikka-san managed to catch up to him.

With an evil grin on her face, she waited for a few seconds before casting her own [Dark Pulse]. This caused the Train Man's speed to be lowered by 60%. He's now so slow that even Pochi could catch up to him.

The Train Man seems to have nearly shat his pants when he saw the playful and innocent smile on Pochi, Tama, and Rikka-san's face. Well, poor him, he's in for a world of pain and suffering.

With the intension of making the Train Man not only suffer but also suffer psychologically, Rikka-san, Pochi, Tama, and Tsuka followed him wherever he goes. To make matters worse, he could barely even move an inch as his speed was lowered to 120%.

Rikka-san and Tama perfectly timed their spell activations and it's cool down with the timing of the stack nearly disappearing before casting it once again while taking turns. Meanwhile, Pochi just watched him with a curious look on her face, occasionally asking some questions as to why he is pulling monsters while dealing at the monsters who wanted to attack the Train Man at the same time.

"Hey, monster pulling bad guy-san. Why are you pulling monsters nodesu? Is it fun nanodesu?" Pochi asked while simultaneously slashing an incoming Big Boar to death. Unknown to her, she's dealing massive psychological damage by doing this. It's very effective.

Alongside Pochi, a frustrated Tsuka is taking jabs at the poor man. She couldn't catch up to him earlier, that's why she's pissed.

Since the guy might die anytime soon, I left the party and approached them.

"We're not finished talking yet. Here, "Heal" and "Round Heal". Tsuka haven't levelled up her attack Senses so we'll have you stay here until she gets level 30 in all of her attack oriented Senses." I said so with a smile on my face.

And so, we tortu— I meant interrogated the Train Man politely. We weren't done with him yet, but he disappeared all of the sudden.

"Oh, a shame. I wanted to join in the party but it seems like he suffered from too much trauma that the system had to eject him from the game. He probably fainted…" Mutsuko-san said before heaving a sigh of discontent.

"Gee, what a weak willed man. He wanted to mess with others but he can't take it when others are messing with him." Rikka-san pouted while saying so.

"Monster pulling bad guy-san is gone nodesu! What do we do now, nanodesu?"

"Traaap~?"

"Tsuka, knows how to, make traps, you know~?"

"Speaking of traps, I got these mines from a crafting quest I did. It says it could even destroy equipments…" Mutsuko said.

Once she said that, a huge grin formed on our faces. He can't run away from us just yet.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

A few seconds after I, Rikka-san, and Mutsuko-san executed our plan, Miu, Kaede-san, Satania-san, and the others seems to be finished fighting the Blade Lizard.

"Good job everyone. Now you could go to the Second Town without fighting the Blade Lizard."

"Uh-huh! It was easier than I expected!"

"That overgrown lizard was no match for my flames of hell! A-hahahaha!"

"Hey, Onii-chan, what happened here?" Unlike Kaede-san or Satania-san who genuinely doesn't care about what transpired on our side, or they probably just never saw what happened, Miu seems to be worried about us.

"Some player wanted to mess with your boss fight. We taught him a lesson already." I told her while patting her head.

"Poor guy…" Toutobi-san muttered under her breath. She probably saw what the guy have gone through.

We all briefly talked about what had transpired, with Pochi, Tama, and Tsuka taking the job of narrating the whole event in detail, while me, Rikka-san, and Mutsuko-san would just supplement their story telling from time to time.

"Well, since you girls are already done with the Blade Lizard fight, why don't you all go to the Second Town? We'll wait for the Blade Lizard to spawn before going to the Second Town ourselves."

"Okaay~! Let's go everyone!"

Kaede-san led the charge whilst everyone else followed suit without saying anything. Before disappearing towards the forested area, Miu looked back and shouted.

"Right, Onii-chan! Don't forget to cook dinner okay? I'll log out after we explore the Second Town a bit!"

"Alright! You guys be careful out there!"

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Since the bosses of [Only Sense Online] have a fixed respawn time, we decided to hunt some monsters on the surrounding area before going back here before it respawns. By the time we were finished in murdering each and every monsters that we come across, the Blade Lizard have already respawned.

We already grinded a lot before we battled the Blade Lizard so it's kind of redundant to once again grind our skills on it with little gain so we all just killed him as fast as we could before travelling to the Second Town and registering its portal. After doing all that, we all decided that it's about time we take a rest.

"Let's all eat lunch first. I'll see you guys again tonight?"

"See you, Shun-kun. Perfect timing, Yuichi should be done with cooking our lunch." After saying so, Mutsuko hugged the three kids before disappearing with a bright light.

"I'll see you later, [Admin] Shun. You take care and eat lots of meat as well, okay Pochi, Tama? You as well, Tsuka."

"""Capiché~!/Capiché, nanodesu!"""

After Rikka-san, Pochi and Tama also said goodbye while hugging my waist. With everyone gone, Tsuka and I also logged out. It's time to prepare lunch.

Removing the VR Gear on my head, I sat up and waited for Tsuka to also get up.

"Squeak~! Master, cook, lunch~!"

"Yeah, let cook it together. Let's go Tsuka."

With Tsuka on my shoulders, I went downstairs, intending to cook a lunch for me, Miu, and Tsuka. However, when I reached the kitchen, I saw a brown haired middle aged man with a full beard on his face.

His sky blue eyes were solely focused on reading the newspaper on his hands, with a newly made cup of coffee on the table. When we arrived, he brought down the newspaper covering his clearly above average face and and greeted me with a nod.

"Ah, just on time Shun. Your mother is already cooking our lunch. Why don't you sit down here to wait?" The man said with a slight smile on his face.

"Later, Dad. I'll go help Mom. Tsuka, you stay here and talk with Dad."

"Squeak~? Dad~?" Tsuka asked, clearly puzzled.

"Yep, Dad. He's my Dad. Go on, greet him."

At my urging, Tsuka faced the middle aged man, my Dad, and while still tilting her head, said.

"Squeak~? Nice to meet, Master's, Dad~?"

My Dad was watching my and Tsuka's interaction with curiosity while sipping his coffee but he didn't know that that was a mistake.

After seeing Tsuka really try to greet him, albeit using the rabbit language that he didn't understand, he choked on the coffee that he just drank.

"*COUGH*! *Cough*!"
