Chapter 99 - Full-Speed Sprint

Can't resist anymore!

"Heya—Take this! Purple Attack!!!"

Catching him off guard. Millie turned on the Purple Mood, pressing its vibrating head against Alain's face. The massager hummed loudly; in a daze, the young man's face seemed even more supple and round. "You put this thing on my face?!" 

Alain finally understood why Misha was so angry when he splashed her face last night.

Right now, he was suffering retribution.

"Wow!" Seeing Alain react intensely and retreat several steps, showing a face full of disgust, the hatted girl finally understood his meaning. 

"Don't get the wrong idea! I haven't used this thing, why should I be disgusted by you?!"

"…Then how do you usually solve it?"

"Bro, isn't it rude to ask a virgin such a question?"

"Before your virgin status, you were still my good bro."

"Ah ah alright, alright, aren't we discussing the battle plan now?" Millie finally yielded and actively brought the topic back. 

"Ahem… almost forgot."

Alain realized that when he was with Millie, it was very easy to change the subject. 

Either she changed it, or he changed it. It was interesting, but for combat… somewhat unfavorable.

Bro. When we get back to reality safely, you must tell me how you solve it."

Never mind, having fun is enough. We'll talk about the rest later.

Millie's lips twitched, "You seem to have set up a terrible flag…"

"Anyway—"

Alain's sentence brought the topic back on track. 

"Let's use the fire axe as our weapon for going out?"

The greatsword, for viruses, had a very high damage bonus, that was true. But it had to wait until the progress bar reached 75%. There was a huge window in between. But Millie's equipment bar nicely compensated for this. 

"Yay! Fighting, go!"

The girl pulled out the fire axe and handed it to Alain.

He felt the heavy weight and nodded. 

Then, his gaze fell on the ring on his hand, "This time we need to go to version 1.5 first. Pass through there to reach version 1.3B."

Alain thought. Version 1.5 was a short-haired Mita version. He should be able to meet a new Mita.

"Bro, can your ring directly open the door to 1.5?"

Millie's mind worked fast, immediately thinking of the key point of the topic. 

But unfortunately…

"No. When I arrived at version 1.5, I hadn't gotten this ring yet. In other words, we have to open the entrance door first for the ring to perform its guiding function."

"Okay…"

The two looked at each other, each seeing the predicament. 

The bathroom was separated from the living room by a bedroom. There was a high probability of encountering danger.

Just then, the game controller finished downloading, and the notification sound echoed in Alain's ear.

He set the controller's landing point in his pants pocket. Then he took it out and handed it to Millie.

"Here, connect it."

"Okay."

[Bluetooth Connected][You Have Obtained Infinite Stamina][Your Strength, Speed UP]

[You Have Unlocked Skill System Rewards. Current Skills Obtained: 2]

[Parry][Perfect Dodge]

Familiar feelings of power surged through Alain's body. He was quite certain that if he used this posture to simulate with Misha… 

The first one to give out would definitely be her hand, not Little Alain.

Alain's gaze focused on "Skills Obtained: 2." Below it, there was an additional "Perfect Dodge."

It seemed the controller had many functions he hadn't explored yet. 

Closing the system pop-up, Alain tried weighing the fire axe in his hand.

The originally heavy weight became light, like waving a perfectly shaped wooden stick.

"Very good."

An austere gaze looked towards Millie. The girl also sensed the heat in Alain's eyes. 

They both turned their attention to the bathroom door.

"I'll go open the door. You stay well behind me…"

"Mm."

Alain gently approached the door. Slightly opening a corner. 

Entering his view was half a bedroom. It looked like there wasn't any danger. Alain gestured to the girl behind him, gripped the fire axe tightly, opened the door, and walked out. But with an "empty" sound, the door, opened halfway, hit something.

"?" Through the feel, it should be slightly soft. And from the sound… somewhat hollow. 

A bit like, a head.

...

Reaching this conclusion, Alain complained inwardly. 

Sure enough, a pair of hollow eyes slowly emerged from the edge of the door. Its pale face and listlessly drooping eyelids stared straight at the sudden perpetrator.

It opened its mouth, revealing a dark oral cavity.

Alain pulled the door back, then abruptly exerted force. Under the power of the game controller, he swiftly knocked the human-headed spider back several meters.

"Quick, go!" As soon as the words fell, his feet crossed in quick succession, covering the short distance in a few steps, then swinging the axe down. 

With a "splurch" sound, the axe blade sank deep into the head, but couldn't even split it in half.

"Tsk, can't one-shot it?"

His calf suddenly moved uncontrollably, executing a whip kick with practiced movement, sending the human-headed spider flying into the corner of the room. 

He looked back; it was Millie controlling the game controller.

"Close call, bro!"

"Yeah, bro!"

Alain was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw another human-headed spider gradually approaching from Millie's visual blind spot to the side. 

Quantity, three.

One of them lunged towards the girl's back; Alain threw the axe, barely managing to knock it back a short distance.

"Hey!"

Millie, startled, turned her head to look… Two more human-headed spiders were gradually approaching her. 

Wanting to summon equipment for self-defense, the girl suddenly felt her vision spin half a circle, the feeling of weightlessness seeming to take another interdimensional journey.

Next, familiar warmth spread across her cheeks. Her peripheral vision caught a sturdy male chest.

And entering her nose was the pleasant smell of laundry detergent.

"Eh?" The girl raised her head; Alain's face and Adam's apple were all clearly visible. 

In other words—hugged again.

"N-No… Now is combat time."

Putting aside the feeling of betrayal, she operated the game controller. Alain, holding her, quickly ran towards the living room.
