"Here are yold s. Thank you for defeating those bandits for us and even providing free prote."

  "It was nothing. Thanks fiving me a ride."

  Just like pleting a quest in an RPG game, after traveling with the mert caravan to the capital of the Kingdom of Elkia in the Andalusia ti, Nangou Haruya received their gratitude in the form of gold s.

  Speaking of Elkia, acc to the novel Haruya had read, it was a small try, or more accurately, a small city-state located at the Westernmost edge of a tihat stretched from the equator to the Northeast. Even though it was once a nation that occupied half the ti during the mythical era, it had long since lost its flory.

  Now, it was merely a weak little try with only its capital city remaining...

  To be more precise, this was also the st kingdom of the human race, Immanity.

  Standing on the bustling streets, Haruya stretched zily and decided to find a pce to stay first.

  Whether it was an inn or something else, as long as he could rest fortably, Haruya didn't particurly mind.

  Besides, he hadn't had the ce to read the Doujinshi and Manga he bought at the ivention. He had to finish them today.

  Looking around, Haruya suddenly noticed a pce where beautiful girls were stantly ing and going.

  Raising his head, he saw a sign that read: Elkia Public Bathhouse

  "Should I Save, barge into the women's bathhouse, take a good look, and then Reload?"

  Such a reckless act wasirely out of the question for Haruya. After all, he had once broken into a gang leader's girlfriend's bathroom for revenge... though he ended up getting shot to death as a sequence...

  Putting aside his unfortunate past, wasting time here trying to break into the women's bathhouse wasn't a fun idea.

  Instead, breaking into a Werebeast Female's bathhouse was what Haruya really wao do.

  Fet it... He should set aside those risqué thoughts for now. The important thing was to find a pce to rest.

  The first thing to do was to Save his progress. He mustn't fet that.

  In his mind, he Saved the Checkpoint...

  << Checkpoint: Save... >>

  < Archive Name: No Game No Life – Human Capital Elkia, 1st Street >

  With the Save plete, Haruya rubbed his stomach. After tinuous movement and thinking, he couldn't help but feel hungry.

  "Let's find something to eat first, then find an inn to stay at and finish reading the Doujinshi."

  Along the way, Haruya tried to Load a Checkpoint from his inal world but found that it failed...

  It seemed he could only 'Load' Saves from this world now. Even the Saves from the Supreme Deity's 'Intrinsiain' were locked...

  As Haruya pohis, he arrived in front of a restaurant. Just as he was about to enter, he heard cheers not far away.

  Driven by curiosity, he decided to check it out before eating.

  "I, Ferrand Ascrill, decre that whoever pass this [Bullet Hell] game will receive everything I own!"

  A middle-aged man spoke. He had a rather wealthy appearand a ing look.

  Beside him stood a soldier armed with a on, and a few young me on the ground, lookied.

  "However, if you fail, you must bey sve for life! Those who wish to challenge me, e a your abilities now!"

  "Ferrand-sama, I'll give it a try!" one guy accepted the challenge.

  "Very well, but before that, if you wish to obtain my le and everything I own, you must first swear by the pledges..."

  ""Aste!!""

  The Noble, Ferrand Ascrill and the challenger swore the oath together, pleting the necessary steps for the game.

  "What is this [Bullet Hell] game?" Haruya asked a young man from the crowd.

  "Are you new here? The [Bullet Hell] game is basically a dodging game. It's a 50-meter path, and if you reach the end and touch the cowboy, you win."

  Hearing the young man's expnation, Haruya looked at the game area.

  It was a 50-meter long, 3-meter wide path. At the end stood a cowboy with two guns. The goal was to dodge the cowboy's attacks and touch him to win.

  It didn't seem too difficult, as the dodging area was quite wide.

  Haruya had always enjoyed Manic Shames, and this game was simir, requiring him to dodge bullets.

  The challeood at the starting line, and when Ferrand said "begin", he started running.

  For the first 20 meters, the cowboy used a single gun to shoot. After 20 meters, he switched to dual guns.

  The challenger dodged to the left while l his body, hoping to wait for the cowboy to reload.

  However, the cowboy aimed the revolver, which had already fired six shots, at the challenger and pulled the trigger. A bullet hit the challenger.

  The bullet had a soft tip, knog the challenger back slightly before he let out a groan.

  "What was that? Why was there ara bullet?" asked someone from the audience.

  "It wasn't ara bullet," Haruya cleared the fusion of the nearby spectators, "After 20 meters, when the cowboy starts dual-wielding, he deliberately fires tinuously without actually using up all twelve bullets."

  "So, he's trying to fuse the challenger by firing tinuously?"

  "Exactly. You have to learn to distinguish how many bullets he's actually used amidst the tinuous gunfire."

  Watg the challenger rolling on the ground, the cowboy blew on his gun barrel, and Ferrand sighed.

  "This one has also failed. Acc to the ants, he is now my servant. Is there another challenger?"

  "I'll give it a try," Haruya stepped forward.

  Since he needed a pce to stay, he might as well win the Nobles mansion through this game.

  Ferrand aowledged, "Very well, a young challenger! You know the rules, so..."

  "Aste!" "Aste!"

  With that, Haruya stood at the starting line.

  As soon as Ferrand annouhe start, Haruya began running.

  Acc to the rules, the cowboy would only start dual-wielding after 20 meters.

  The first 20 meters were easy to dodge, as there were only six bullets, and the cowboy ime to reload, even if the bullets were pre-loaded.

  tinuing to run forward, Haruya quickly passed the 20-meter mark, then the cowboy began dual-wielding, and the difficulty suddenly increased.

  Haruya focused ily, watg the dire of the cowboy's gun barrels.

  "Left?"

  Predig the shooting dire, Haruya braked with his right foot and instantly ged dire to the left.

  In the moment, the cowboy reacted quickly, aiming his gun at Haruya.

  Haruya jumped up, a risky move, but he used the fen the side to his advantage.

  These fences surrouhe path, and Haruya used them to leap in the opposite dire.

  A bullet grazed the tip of his nose. Haruya noticed the cowboy preparing to reload.

  Seizing this opportunity, he nded and sprioward the cowboy.

  "So impressive!"

  "He's so fast!"

  Even though he was an otaku, thanks to being chased so often, Haruya's stamina was top-notch!

  Haruya had already ran 35 meters, and Ferrand grew anxious, "Hit him already!" he roared.

  Haruya began zigzagging, and the cowboy's eyes widened.

  "Just hit him!!" Ferrand urged.

  Hearing the Noble's panicked prompt, Haruya lowered his body and increased his speed.

  At this moment, the cowboy fired two bullets in quick succession. Haruya had predicted their trajectory and quickly dodged...

  But...

  The two bullets suddenly collided like mags, ging their trajectory and hitting Haruya in the chest.

  "No way..." He opened his mouth wide.

  This... was cheating, right?!

  Ferrand gleefully annouhe oute, "Ahaha, it seems this challenger has also failed. Well then..."

  << Checkpoint: Reload... >>

  Haruya Loaded the previous Save. He realized that the st two bullets indeed acted like mags, ging their trajectory after being fired.

  Although bullets wouldn't attract each other at high speeds, this was a different world with different ws of reality. Who knew what tricks that noble was using?

  This time, the same situation occurred, but Haruya positioned himself to dodge in advance.

  *Bang!*

  The bullet hit the ground, and Haruya puhe cowboy in the face.

  "Ah, I hit him..."

  pared to the calm Haruya, the surrounding crowd erupted in cheers.

  "I... I lost?!"

  Haruya patted Ferrand's shoulder, "Yes, Uncle Ferrand... Your mansion ah are now mine. Oh, and all of you who lost to him earlier, you're now free."

  The former sves of Ferrand now beloo Haruya, but he freed them all.

  'Now then...'

  As Haruya walked toward the former Noble Ferrand's mansiohought for a moment.

  "First, I'll hire a few maids..."
