My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! Volume 13 Chapter 10

CHAPTER 10

Everyone Always Appears Out of Nowhere!

"Kyaaaaaaa... Ah?"

Tomochika Dannoura continued to scream in terror as she fell into the depths of hell, but as soon as she could think, she was standing on the ground.

There was no sensation of landing from the high altitude, just the feeling that she was standing there all of a sudden.

Before her eyes was a familiar landscape. Sparsely wooded buildings dotted the dry wasteland, a view of the city in the underground quest.

Van had said that there was a similar city with just a different channel number, but the appearance and arrangement of the buildings was exactly the same.

"Umm, Takatou-kun... Pfft!"

Turning her gaze to the side, Tomochika couldn't help but burst out laughing. It seemed that Yogiri had also come along, but his appearance had changed dramatically.

It was black.

His pants, shirt, and coat were all black, and he had an excessive number of belts and chains. He had even put on accessories with a skull motif and had transformed into a punk.

"What happened all of a sudden!? Why are you dressed like that?"

"Even if you say that, Dannoura-san, what happened to you?"

"Eh?"

Hearing that, Tomochika checked her own appearance.

She was also clad in black, and the exposure was too high, with the body line being emphasized too much. A tiara modeled after horns was equipped on her head, and to put it simply, she looked like a villainous female executive.

Earlier, she had felt nauseous when she was told that the dress armor was made of people, so she had taken it off, but there was no way she was wearing something like this underneath.

"We're in a strange situation, aren't we?"

The white clothes of Atila became black, and the dog, Dai, was wearing something like black armor all over his body.

"What's going on? Why did we become like a chuunibyou cosplay army?"

"Those are gifts from the Great Sage."

"Who's there!?"

Tomochika turned around to face the voice which had come from behind.

A woman with a cold gaze and glasses was standing there.

"I am Alexia, the secretary of the great Sage."

"Everyone always appears out of nowhere!"

"The Great Sage, huh? You've done quite a lot of annoying things to me."

"The Great Sage has simply conveyed the truth. I think that you are the only person in the world who finds this annoying."

"So, what's all this about?"

"From now on, people all over the world will aim for your life. You're truly Public Enemy Number One. The strongest villain among villains. So, a design that is suitable for that has been directly selected by the Great Sage."

"What poor taste!"

Suddenly, Alexia glared at Yogiri with a killing intent. Although she had just been calmly explaining, she suddenly showed her anger.

"Well... It's okay. I'm just here to deliver the message of the Great Sage."

It seemed that she somehow suppressed her anger. Tomochika thought it was better not to say anything too nasty.

"Where did our original equipment go?"

"Those were converted into DP," Alexia said coolly

"Selfish much!?"

"But still. From this situation, it seems that the Great Sage is our enemy. Can anyone receive the gift from such a guy so honestly? I suspect it may be a trap prepared for us."

"Such concerns are completely meaningless. The Great Sage is omnipotent in this world, so if he wants to do something, there is no need to do it through such equipment."

"Uh, but I don't really want to wear this!"

Tomochika had thought it would be better to hold back on insults, yet she couldn't help but say something.

"Is that so? Isn't this an essential thing for you?"

"What!?"

"The gift from the Great Sage is made from very ordinary materials and through a very ordinary manufacturing process."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Do you dislike the equipment made by Shiro? All the equipment for Cavern Quest is made of humans. That is, this equipment is the only thing that you can wear without feeling uncomfortable. Isn't it a wonderful gift for you?"

"Eeeeh?! Is this the only option?"

"Yes. It's the only one. Your equipment is the only exception."

At least the clothes were brought from outside Cavern Quest, but they were just clothes, and had no defense power.

"Uh, well... this is just shabby, since it doesn't seem to have defense power or anything..."

"It is based on the specifications of the Underground Quest, so appearance and defense power have no relation. If compared to the game specifications, they are SS Rank-equivalent rare items."

"Seriously!?"

"It's a gift from the Great Sage, so there is no way he would choose something that can't be used."

"The design certainly makes it difficult to use enough!"

"... talking to you any further, I feel like I'll get upset, so I'll excuse myself."

With that, Alexia disappeared.

"...Was she really just here to give us equipment?" Yogiri asked, sounding incredulous.

Even though she was someone important, like a secretary to the Great Sage, she didn't bring any new information. She merely came to tell the group to put on some villainous clothes because they had become villains.

"It seems that way, but he must be very powerful to be able to exchange someone's clothes without their permission. You can never be too careful with an enemy like that." 

"Really... do we have to wear this?"

"I like it," Yogiri said.

"Even if Takatou likes it..." Tomochika trailed off, sounding discouraged.

Tomochika couldn't deny that it was better to be liked than rejected, and she didn't feel bad about being told that he was liked. However, she still couldn't shake the feeling of not being satisfied.
