Pandora of Fantasy And Reality Chapter 86

Capital of Love

In Pandora’s large scale update, conquered world was the World of Lust.

The level’s upper limit was increased until [225], and new jobs, skills, and new races were added.

Leveling up was also made easier until level [150].

Rookie players now also could go until the Capital of Diligence  immediately without having to fulfill any particular requirement.

New events.

New monsters.

New equipments and items.

Even the players who were having fun in the sightseeing area found  out that the number of attractions there had been increased which would  allow them to have even more fun.

But, there was also a new change added among all these updates.

◇

The Capital of Love was a city above water.

The city was floating above a large lake. The transportation method in it was by using boat.

The monsters there could also be found above water and underwater. Many of them were troublesome.

The whole city was enveloped in an atmosphere like the sightseeing area.

There were also a lot of mermaid and half-mermaid NPCs. The Capital of Love was magical and beautiful.

The guild that Ponsuke led finally stepped into the Capital of Love around the time when a month had passed at the real world.

May had ended and the weather would become hotter soon.

The Capital of Love felt like it really fitted the season.

Ponsuke who was covered with new equipments stretched and inhaled the air of the Capital of Love.

「I’m finally at the Capital of Love. Coming until this far makes me feel that I’ve finally returned.」

The maintenance of the game started not long after they entered into the Capital of Love.

But, the guild members were all acting freely like usual.

「Perhaps we should go back to the Capital of Discernment if it’s for  leveling up. There are a lot of good places there to be the home of  player with manufacturing job.」

Lighter and others, the players with manufacturing job as their main  job considered the Capital of Love as simply a place to collect drop  items.

There was nothing particularly worth seeing here.

Just when they thought that――.

「Tou!」

The half mermaid Noin took off her equipments and leaped into the lake in her swimsuit.

The splash hit Ponsuke’s face.

「Wait, Noin-san.」

Ponsuke warned her as Noin’s face broke out to the surface.

「It’s amazing inside the water. There are also shops below there. Let’s go play.」

Half mermaid could move freely even underwater, but Ponsuke and the  others couldn’t dive in unless they used special item or equipment.

「No, it’s impossible for us.」

「Too bad. There’s this shop that I want to check, so I’ll go there. Fran-chan, see you later!」

Noin left behind her pal Fran and vanished below the water.

Then Sierra spoke.

「Ah, the orcs-」

Ponsuke got a bad premonition, but there was no way he could just  pretend that there was nothing there. When he looked at that direction,  he saw the orcs were being attacked by mermaids.

The expressions of the mermaids were ghastly. They were pulling the orcs into the water.

Orc race was fundamentally hated by the NPCs. Some of the NPCs would even attack them.

Prey and the other orcs must have intentionally approached the aggressive NPCs.

「D-don’t mind us and go ahead――」

The eight of them writhed in pain as they got pulled into water.

Sometimes passing players would watch the sight with dumbfounded  look, but the guild members had gotten used to it and were only looking  exasperated.

After a while, the orcs would revive in the temple of the Capital of Love with death penalty, so there was no need to worry.

By the way, Sololy had vanished without anyone noticing.

「Sorry, we also need to go. The quota for today is a lot so we won’t make it in time if we don’t hurry.」

Quota――it referred to the farming of drop items that Lighter and co requested to the guild members.

Ponsuke and co could obtain the total support of the craftsmen, in  exchange they had to use almost two third of their times inside the game  to farm item.

Blaze’s party that was filled with beginner players and new comrades  was running to outside the city too today in order to fulfill the quota.

「Everyone, we’ll get our hands on the “Great Fish’s Eye” no matter  what today! It’s alright! We’ll get it right away when we have this many  people!」

Blaze and others ran off in the search of a very difficult to obtain drop item.

「……Why do they have to toil like that inside a game?」

Ponsuke wanted to cry seeing the back of Blaze and others who were like that.

Then Guruguru tugged on Ponsuke’s waist cloth.

「Ponsuke-niichan. I’m going to meet up with my friends today so I won’t be able to join.」

Guruguru had become even more feminine than before.

To put it simply, his avatar’s gender was female.

「Y-yeah. Or rather, are you going to be alright?」

Recently there was also that case of a boy in RL who got dressed in girl’s outfit. Ponsuke got worried for Guruguru.

He thought that perhaps Kira was Guruguru. Certainly there were many  similarities between the two of them. There were too many instead, but  the chance of Guruguru being someone that he also knew in RL was  statistically so small it was astronomical.

Because of that Ponsuke thought that they were different people.

Slightly bulging chest and butt. Slim waist. Thin arms and legs and a small face.

He didn’t think that Guruguru would be absolutely safe.

After all, Guruguru turned his avatar into female because of his friends’ request.

Those friends had nothing but ulterior motive in their hearts.

「It’ll be fine. We’re inside game so they won’t be able to do  anything. Well, a lot of things happened at RL but, we had made up with  each other. But they said that they want to play with girl even if it’s  just inside game, so it can’t be helped.」

Even though manlier look will be better, Guruguru said such thing, but his mannerism was completely that of a girl.

(Well, certainly they won’t be able to do anything strange because  we’re inside game. The warning screen will come out if they do any  harassment.)

Nanako made a troubled face.

「In that case, Sierra-san and I will be on our own today. If only someone can help us……」

A lot of the newcomers were taken by Blaze for farming drop item.  Lighter’s group also headed off somewhere to level up and gather drop  item.

(Setting aside Blaze-san, everyone else is just too carefree.)

Then a fidgety Mariella spoke to Nanako and Sierra.

「T-then, perhaps I’ll join you two. Yep, that’ll be better. It’s fine, I’ll be more useful than Alfie!」

Alfie too was fidgety for some reason.

「That’s unfair! Let’s go with the four of us! Let’s do that! Now, quickly! Let’s Party with us four girls like this!」

Sierra tilted her head in puzzlement.

「Eh? But, you two usually go with Ponsuke-san――wait, whyyyyyy!」

Mariela and Alfie grabbed Sierra and Nanako’s neck and dragged them off.

「……ah」

Ponsuke looked around. There were only Inaho and Fran remaining.

Fran sighed.

「What a pain.」

Inaho scratched her cheek with her finger.

「Err……what should we do?」

The two of them were vanguard.

Ponsuke was also a vanguard.

The party balance really couldn’t be said as good.

Fran muttered.

「Noin had it rough with the quota until yesterday, so I want to let her rest at least for today.」

It seemed that her partner Noin almost burst into tear because of the quota.

Ponsuke was also the same.

He continued to fight undead with the usual line up before they could finally fulfill the quota.

Inaho too had a day off today.

「It was really tiring. Lighter-san’s group, how should I say it, they’re merciless.」

They assigned horrible quota, but in return they would create  equipments almost for free. In addition they wouldn’t complain even if  the guild members were finicky with the design.

Ponsuke’s guild members……the craftsmen group almost never rest in order to develop their product.

For the time being Ponsuke said.

「Then, how about we go outside and fight monster for a bit before go  sightseeing? After all this place is quite a popular sightseeing spot.」

The decentralization of the sightseeing area.

It wasn’t just in the Capital of Hope, each world now had their own place that was like the sightseeing area.

And the money that was used in the sightseeing area was fundamentally  obtained from defeating monster or exchanging item into money. There  was no other way than that now.

.

.

.

Ponsuke’s group traveled through the lake on boat.

They could see an underwater city at the bottom of the lake. Various living things like mermaid or dolphin were swimming there.

Inaho reached out to touch the water.

「It feels cold and pleasant to the touch.」

She was leaning forward, so her butt was sticking out.

Ponsuke was a gentleman.

「Inaho-chan, you’ll fall if you lean too far forward.」

Ponsuke was rowing with oars to control the boat. He was sitting face to face with the other two.

Both Inaho and Fran were wearing casual clothes and skirts.

However, there was mysterious light that hid their underwear from view.

In the first place he knew that there would only be plain panty  beneath there even if they were visible. He understood that but――Ponsuke  thought.

(If there’s item to erase the mysterious light, I’ll definitely get it even if I have to pay with real money.)

Mysterious light or smoke would appear when those things almost came into view.

Passionate men exchanged information everyday in the internet about  how to remove this mysterious phenomenon or if there was hole in the  system that could be taken advantage of.

Ponsuke too would check out the forum sometimes.

The girls also were more relaxed from knowing that place wouldn’t be visible.

Fran pulled Inaho’s back and made her sat on the boat.

「You will wake up at the temple if you fall. You will waste time like that.」

「That’s true but, it’s amazing. Mermaids are living normally below there!」

Pandora’s world was created with great details.

Ponsuke felt the sun’s heat while looking up to the sky.

「Even so, it also feel hot toda――hah!」

When the boat was passing below a bridge.

There were female avatars leaning on the railing above while talking.

It seemed they were players whose destination was the sightseeing area. All of them were in casual clothes and skirts.

No mysterious light or smoke was generated. The boat passed through under the bridge like that.

Ponsuke slowly lowered his gaze. Then he continued rowing the boat.

「Ponsuke-san, what’s the matter?」

Ponsuke was acting suspiciously.

「N-no, nothing at all! I’m normal. Yep, normal!」

Fran narrowed her eyes.

「Very suspicious. How about you tell us the truth.」

Fran approached him on the boat.

「Ah, wait a second, the balance――」

Fran and Ponsuke’s jostling on the boat caused it to be overturned.

.

.

.

The location changed. Mariela and others were going to a shop in the sightseeing area.

The shop was selling products that were intended for female avatar. There were many players there especially today.

「Welcome~」

A smiling half-mermaid staff was promoting female underwear that had never been implemented until now.

「Found it!」

Alfie rejoiced. Mariela was also surprised seeing the underwear.

Nanako’s face reddened.

「I-it looks like string. Even though the underwear all looked the same for everyone until now…」

Sport type underwear was the norm, but from now on it became possible to choose the type of underwear in the game.

Even though they knew that nobody could see it, Mariela and Alfie were curious as expected. They came here to buy some.

However, they couldn’t bring Ponsuke here.

Sierra stared reproachfully.

「Even though you two usually always acted so outrageously like that,  why are you two acting like pure maiden at this kind of time?」

Mariela looked at Sierra.

「You can really talk now. That’s……b-because our relationship is still pure obviously.」

Sierra was making a doubting face.

「Pure? You called that pure?」

Nanako also agreed.

「As expected calling it pure is a bit……and you two sent Ponsuke-san to hospital before this.」

When Nanako said that, Alfie who was in the middle of choosing underwear turned her gaze at Nanako.

「How do you know that!?」

Nanako realized her slip up and spoke honestly.

「You remember, there was a day when Ponsuke-san didn’t login.  Apparently Blaze-san’s group also held an offline meeting at that time. I  have good hearing so I could hear them speaking……from there, I thought  that perhaps he might be in the same hospital with me and when I looked  around for someone who seemed like it, Ponsuke-san was there. I  immediately knew it was him.」

Nanako couldn’t see with her eyes in real life and she also couldn’t  move her body well. It was only some time ago that she became able to  move and see.

Perhaps that was why she had good hearing. Her cat ears that stuck out from her hat were twitching up and down.

Sierra was shocked.

「Is that true? I only know Nanako-chan and Guruguru in RL.」

Nanako made a knowing smile.

「That’s true. But, he might be unexpectedly nearby.」

Nanako chuckled. It made Mariela thought.

(This is bad. If Nanako-chan also get involved like this, Ponsuke will get taken away by her……)

She looked at Nanako’s chest after her thought reached that far.

It was flat.

Mariela felt relieved.

After all, Ponsuke was a boy from big breast lover planet.

Nanako was outside his strike zone.

Alfie seemed to have the same thinking. Her hands were holding several underwear.

All of them were a bit flashy.

「Well, rather than talking about that, it’s rare that we can gather  with just us girls like this, so let’s get back at picking underwear. It  looks like this one will affect your status a little you know?」

Sierra also chose underwear even while looking a bit embarrassed.

「Umm~, if possible I want underwear that can supplement my HP or strength.」

Nanako searched and found a suitable underwear.

「Sierra-san, this one really suit your description.」

What Nanako was showing happily to Sierra was a panty with tiger  stripe patter. It was even made from fur. The status increase effect was  slight, but it was still not a number that could be made light of.

However.

「Sorry. That’s just out.」

Nanako was shocked.

「Eh? But, this equipment really is exactly like what you ordered.」

「R-right. The status bonus is nice but……the design, is a bit……」

Sierra refused to wear it even if it was for the sake of her status parameter.
