Chapter 229 Players guarding Chiara! In Miru...
After unexpectedly meeting Aurora at the fantasy food production base owned by the Milfiore family, Chiara finally believed that every word she had spoken with her eldest brother Marco when the godfather of the other world, Sawada Tsunayoshi, came to her in person was true, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of being the first among her siblings to meet Lady Aurora and Lady Aurora swearing to protect her safety still lingered in Chiara's heart even after a few days, and did not dissipate for a long time.
However, what needs to be done must still be done.
After the intelligence department conveyed to Marco the information that the Millufiore family was secretly conducting illegal experiments on fantasy ingredients, Chiara secretly came to Japan at the instruction of her eldest brother Marco.
Although she was accidentally discovered and hunted by the Milufiore family, fortunately her illusion skills were quite good. She escaped by faking her death and successfully infiltrated the fantasy food cultivation base.
After a long period of dormancy, today, she can finally get close to the core of the base. After she knows the secret of this fantasy food cultivation base, she will be able to leave here with Lady Aurora who comes to pick her up!
Chiara looked at the room that was said to be the most secret cultivation room of this fantasy food cultivation base based on the information she had gathered recently. She ignored the vague sense of crisis in her heart and used the access card she had stolen from the person in charge.
But the secrets in the incubator were not what she thought, or rather, they were more than just secrets.
"Wow, I didn't expect this—" Looking at the man who suddenly walked out of the culture room, Chiara subconsciously took a few steps back.
"It's been tough disguising yourself like this, hasn't it? Ms. Chiara of the Fantasy Family." The orange-haired boy smiled brightly. "How about I help you escape today? That's a good idea, isn't it?"
"When did you discover my existence?" After her origins were exposed, Chiara openly removed the disguise on her face, revealing her original face with brown hair and brown eyes.
"From the very beginning—" Seeing Chiara's somewhat surprised look, the orange-haired young man raised an eyebrow and said with a chuckle, "Although your illusion technique is powerful, there are ultimately limits to what it can achieve."
"The disguise on the deceased body disappeared after three days."
"...I lose in this regard. I didn't expect that you would not even let go of a corpse and stared at him for three days and three nights." Chiara said as she took out a retractable long-handled dagger and her box from her arms.
"Oh my, you're bringing out your weapons so soon?" The orange-haired young man remained relaxed. "I'd like to talk to you some more."
"You are no match for me." The orange-haired young man moved his fingers slightly, and the smile that appeared in an instant was immediately hidden at the corner of his lips.
"That's not necessarily true." Chiara opened the box, and several dancing butterflies appeared beside her, blocking the spiders that were obviously controlled by the enemy.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, but... I'm not alone." The orange-haired young man chuckled a few times and made way. Twenty or thirty people came out of the training room one after another. The colors of the death flames on their bodies were different, but without exception, these people were elites trained by the Milufiore family.
"But you don't have any help, do you?"
"...Tsk." Chiara snorted coldly and showed the long-handled dagger its original appearance.
"This place will be your burial place...what a thing!" The orange-haired young man who was still speaking harshly suddenly realized something and took a step back, just avoiding the attack, but the man next to him was not so lucky.
The sword, with its clear aim, pierced through the man's arm before he could react, firmly pinning him to the extremely strong floor.
"A long sword? And it's golden?" As his subordinates screamed loudly, the orange-haired young man looked at the long sword that was piercing into the wood and asked in surprise.
"This is...!!!" Chiara looked at the familiar weapon and was extremely surprised.
This weapon, could it be that...
"Ah, who said she had no help?" The voice coming from far away confirmed the answer in Chiara's mind.
"Isn't that me?" The player who arrived just in time mercilessly pulled up the golden sword from the ground and stood in front of Chiara. "Don't be afraid, I'm here, Chiara."
"Lady Aurora..., I knew you would come to save me!" Looking at the petite but reliable Lady Aurora, Chiara regained her spirits and looked at the enemies opposite with sharp eyes.
"Another person has come. Who are you? The entire underground base didn't even notice your existence?" The orange-haired young man raised his eyebrows, feeling that the person in front of him seemed somewhat familiar.
"Oh, it was a bit difficult when we got here." The player said this to show weakness, but his expression was unusually relaxed.
Just now...
Faced with the burly NPC who was trying to stop him without knowing the consequences, the player who vowed to knock the man down with three swords ignited the flame of death in the sky, slashed horizontally with one sword, chopped vertically with one sword, and attacked from behind with one sword, easily knocking down the small monster NPC and continuing to move forward along the original route.
As if attracted by the noise of the fight, there was some commotion in the base, and the red dot NPC in the center of the base moved significantly faster, which brought considerable convenience to the players on the periphery.
However, when the player saw dozens of red dots around the green dot representing Chiara's presence, he realized that something was wrong - it was obvious that Chiara had been discovered!
The player who was speeding towards Chiara's location saw the orange-haired young man from the enemy side walking towards Chiara. Without thinking too much, he threw the golden sword out directly.
Thanks to the deterrent caused by this attack, the player successfully arrived at the scene.
"Hmm~~, what's the use of one more person? Two people against over thirty people?" The orange-haired young man smiled without changing his expression, his eyes filled with meaning. "Then let me test your strength."
"Okay, anyway... you're just a dummy." The player pointed out the strangeness of the orange-haired young man's body.
"..." A dark light flashed in the orange-haired young man's eyes, and the yellow ring on his hand burst into bright flames.
The player was not to be outdone, she clenched her fist slightly, and the special flame of the sky appeared on her ring.
Due to the powerful aura of the two, the people around them retreated invisibly, leaving only the player and the orange-haired young man standing in the middle, ready to attack.
"Hmph." The orange-haired young man opened the box while the player was not paying attention and shot it towards the player, but was knocked away by the alert player with a sword.
"Eggs of an unknown creature?" The player raised his eyebrows as he looked at the yellow spots of light scattered on the ground.
"It should be spider eggs. The clear attribute of the Death Flame has a revitalizing effect. Lady Aurora, please be careful." Chiara's eyes were a little solemn.
"Another person with a box. It's so unfair. Chiara, lend me your box." The player hooked his hand back.
"Oh, okay!" Chiara threw the butterfly box that had been taken away to Lady Aurora.
"The Flame of the Sky can indeed open boxes of all attributes, but it is far less convenient than using it by a user with the corresponding attributes. Do you think you can defeat me with just a box of fog attribute?" The orange-haired young man curled up a smile.
"..." The player who didn't have a suitable large empty box had a very calm expression, making it impossible for the enemy on the opposite side to detect her depth.
"I don't think so. After all, I have always believed that a good blacksmith must have strong tools himself—" The player who received the butterfly box thought about it, and butterflies instantly appeared on both sides of her and under her feet, dancing gracefully.
"But..." The player's golden eyes fixed on the orange-haired young man before him, and he changed the subject, "With the help of the butterfly, I can pull you down from mid-air, right?"
"I'm really upset seeing you floating in the sky right now—"
"Really? Then let's give it a try!" The orange-haired young man sneered and attacked the player with the whip in his hand.
"Then let me see what's left after I peel off this puppet skin of yours?" The player was not willing to be outdone. He exerted force with both hands and instantly straightened the oncoming whip.
————————
While the player was in constant conflict with the orange-haired youth, Lal Milch, Tsunayoshi Sawada and others who had raided the Milfiore family's underground base in Namimori at night had finished a single-player battle and were taking a short rest.
"Luckily, Teacher Aurora prepared this juice made from a mixture of cactus and aloe vera for each of us, which seems to be very effective for external injuries."
Yamamoto Takeshi evenly applied the green semi-liquid substance to Lal Mirchi's most seriously injured left shoulder and arm, carefully bandaging it. "This way, we don't have to worry about consuming the Death Flame of Sunny."
"How are you feeling now, Lal Mirchi?" asked Sasagawa Ryohei.
"It's okay, the medicine is very effective." Feeling his left arm gradually regaining consciousness, Lal Mirchi nodded.
"Tsuka has escaped, but there's a chance he'll tell Irie Shoichi about our infiltration into the underground base, so we should hurry up and destroy the security facilities." With the help of Takeshi Yamamoto, Lal Milch managed to stand up.
"...Hey, wait a moment, Lal Mirchi." Gokudera Hayato raised his eyes, looked at Lal Mirchi, and asked a sharp question, "You haven't told me the secret of Alcobaleno that guy just mentioned!"
"...I won't tell you about this." Lal Mirchi's expression was slightly serious and he refused to answer the question.
"What? You guy! Why don't you just tell us and share it together?" Hayato Gokudera shouted.
"I won't tell you, no matter what." Lal Milch staggered towards the door, leaving only a lonely figure behind him. "If you really want to know, go ask Yamamoto Takeshi."
"As Aurora's disciple and someone who has been taught by Reborn, he might know something."
"Baseball idiot..." Hayato Gokudera hesitated.
"Yamamoto-san...?" Sawada Tsunayoshi also spoke subconsciously.
Several people looked at Yamamoto Takeshi who couldn't help but touch his face.
"Well, as for the inside story of this matter, I do know one thing for sure..." Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yamamoto Takeshi touched his face and said this hesitantly.
"What? You actually know that?!" Several people exclaimed in surprise in unison.
"Why do you know?" Hayato Gokudera was shocked again.
