Chapter 5

"NOOOOO, I DON'T WANNAAAA!!!"

Comments

- You can do it with determination

- It's over, isn't it?

- I'll set the flag...

- You're totally asking for it, aren't you? w

The lack of tension in the comment section went unnoticed by me, who couldn't take my eyes off my phone. How far can I run with the abilities of a level 2 commoner? This might be my chance since they're underestimating me.

"IMPOSSIBLEEEE! There's no place to runnnn!!! Listeners, do somethingggg!!!"

With my ostrich-sized brain, I couldn't think of a way out and could only cling to the listeners with pathetic cries and a runny nose.

As I shifted my gaze to my phone, hoping for a glimmer of hope—

- No《￥1,000》For funeral expenses

- No《￥1,500》It was fun!

- No《￥2,000》I'll pick up your bones if I can

- No《￥10,000》I'll make a profit from your clips later

"YOU CAN'T PROFIT FROM SOMEONE'S LIFEEE!!!"

These guys are hopeless. Even if I get a Super Chat now, it's meaningless!

- [Yukikaze] You can buy potions with the Super Chats

- [ARAGAMI] There's no solution, but if you buy and keep a potion in your mouth, it will heal you when you take damage. One costs about 100,000 yen and can heal up to limb loss.

- [Yukikaze] [￥300,000] Three potions

- [ARAGAMI] [￥1,000,000] Please survive with this

"THEY ARE GODS AAAHHHH!!!"

I knew I could buy potions with Super Chats, but I thought they were out of reach due to the cost. However, the Super Chats from the listeners, even those joking about funeral expenses and profits, came in handy here.

"Potion... potion... this is it!"

While running, I operated my phone and found the [Shop] function. Opening it quickly, I saw three items: 'Potion', 'One day's food', and 'Water'. Without hesitation, I spent all the Super Chats on potions.

Dozens of potion bottles fell from the sky.

"Whoa! Ah, [Item Box]!"

In a split-second decision, I used my skill. A fairly large hole opened in the air, and I confirmed that the potions were being sucked in. I immediately put one in my mouth.

It was a small bottle containing a green liquid, about the amount that fits in a sake cup.

The taste is pretty bad, but I can't afford to be picky!

"GURK!"

- What are you saying?

- Your series of actions is godlike, lol

- Is this a circus act? w

- You're assuming you'll get hurt, lol

- Keep it up www [￥15,000]

How can you get out of this without getting hurt??

Yeah, thanks for the Super Chats. Don't laugh, I'll stab you.

"GAH!"

Continuing the game of tag for about 5 minutes, my stamina was reaching its limit. The wolves, growing impatient, started to speed up and close in on me. It felt like an endless shuttle run.

But they weren't killing me immediately, perhaps out of pride. Maybe they were just playing. Or maybe they were embarrassed to take a small creature seriously.

I can't understand the feelings of monsters. But I'm the one struggling to survive. I'm the one determined not to lose.

"FAH FAN FEN! (I won't lose!)"

Comments

- What are you saying?

- I get that you're trying hard

- It's time to say goodbye...

- It was fun

- I'm going to eat now, so I'll log off

My crisis < dinner? What??

Why is there a resigned mood? I'm not going to die!

Ah, it's hot, my legs are tired, and the wolves are just a few meters away!

Complaining won't change the situation. All I can do is keep moving my legs.

If I die, my parents will be sad, and my few friends will probably, maybe, almost certainly be sad too.

And... what about Yukikaze?

They'll face criticism from the public. I can't accept that. As long as someone will suffer from my death, I can't die.

"FIN FEN FAH FAH FAAAA! (I won't die!)"

Even if I shout, even if I lament.

Reality is too cruel.

---

A heat wave far more intense than before.

A human-sized fireball roaring towards me.

I dodged it instinctively, but not completely.

---

It completely burned off my left arm.
