Chereads / When Roleplay Becomes Isekai (LN) / Chapter 10 - Volume 1 - Chapter 10: Sakamoto and Hamtaro

Chapter 10 - Volume 1 - Chapter 10: Sakamoto and Hamtaro

Mid-air as the sky dyed in blue gleamed in response to the sunlight, a few miles from the Jura Village where Clodwal and company are currently staying, the form of clouds in a clear weather were being distorted and cut apart by something soaring in the skies.

๐™Ž๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™จ๐™! ๐™Ž๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™จ๐™!

Not one, but two figures could be faintly seen zooming across the sky at sound speed in every direction along with the loud sounds of wind blowing about their structures. A voice was then heard.

Clodwal: "Come at me..."

The other figure which seemed to be smaller compared to Clodwal flew to his direction then suddenly turned right to a group of clouds, masking it's presence. A few seconds later, the cloud started raining what seemed to be hundreds of sharp obsidian shards at Clodwal who avoided the projectiles with fairly high ease.

The moment Clodwal successfully evaded the downpour of obsidian shards, the sound of a thunderclap caught Clodwal's attention which he turned around to take a glimpse. A lightning bolt charged at him faster than he can blink like a dragon ready to devour it's prey, it however changed it's course to miss it's target which was Clodwal due to one of his passive skills.

The lightning soar to miss Clodwal's right arm by a small margin and instead hit a stray boar on land which was roasted to porkchop from the intense temperature brought about by the attack. Clodwal whistled thinking what that pig was going through, it must have been painful to die that way. A second later he felt a presence from above him and created a layer of solid air to block against a claw attack from Bahamut who was surprised from it's negation, Clodwal grabbed the little dragon and placed it on his head.

Clodwal: "This should be enough exercise... I recall we have business to attend to today, therefore I recommend going home early as the others may already be waiting for us..."

Bahamut nodded to Clodwal's suggestion and latched onto the latter's neck who then created a strong gust of wind from his wings to return back to the village and land stealthily close to the inn. Meanwhile Orcan and the others were sitting beside a fountain at the center of the village and chatting whilst waiting for Clodwal's arrival who approached them moments later.

Orcan: "Oh! Cloddy finally we've been waitin' for ya. We're about to go back to the capital now so let's go and find a carriage heading to the capital!"

Filana: "Bahamut chan!~"

Filana rushed at Clodwal's direction to remove Bahamut from Clodwal's nape to squeeze it with her very tight hug, Bahamut gave a small groan in response while Clodwal looked somehow troubled.

Arsol: "Oi oi, Lefina you're gonna get hurt again."

Filana: "But it's so cute I can't resist it!"

While talking her cheek was obviously scratched while some blood started flowing on her dress due to Bahamut's extremely sharp scales but she ignored that fact and didn't look bothered and instead put on an ecstatic expression.

Clodwal: "I simply see no value in embracing something out of pure emotion... Specially when it's not even beneficial but even harmful as what you're doing now..."

Filana: "Clodwal preaching his ideals again. Hmph! I'll be fine you guys, I'll heal myself later."

Arsol: "Women sure are fond of cute things even if it hurts them, aren't they?"

Asta: "If you say so, Filana-chan."

Orcan: "Hey Hey! Let's go home everyone!"

Orcan clapped his hands loudly and beckoned the others to gain their attention and at once a carriage was already there for them to ride home. As Clodwal got in, he noticed there were other people in the carriage besides them likely going to the capital as well, he then sat next to Orcan observing the unfamiliar people he will be travelling with.

Apparently most of the people are ordinary ones such as a mother and her daughter, an old lady reading a thousand paged book and a middle aged man that seemed to be an adventurer snoozing carelessly and resting his head on the old lady's shoulder. However, one individual caught his attention, it was a man with a strange looking yellow hamster on his shoulder. The man looked fairly handsome and tall, he possessed short black hair and black eyes with his glasses further complimenting his looks. He wore a plain looking highschool uniform with golden buttons and a white undershirt.

The yellow hamster currently on the person's shoulder had a rose on its lips and wore a blonde wig which it was stroking endlessly, while looking at a small mirror.

Clodwal: (This person with glasses...)

Clodwal peeked at the person's status;

Clodwal: (I knew it... uncle Sakamoto... So this one must be Hamtaro... Two roleplayers working together to survive I assume...)

After confirming Sakamoto's identity Clodwal stared at the hamster for a brief time to assess it's status;

Hamtaro: (What's with this guy, he's so infatuated with my fabulous looks that he can't take his eyes off me?)

Clodwal was indeed left staring at the hamster, however with a disgusted expression thinking exactly what the hamster might be thinking just from looking at it. The hamster however mistook it as a compliment and flipped it's wig aggressively which flew off and landed on the sleeping passenger's nostrils waking him up with a start after choking on the small wig.

Hamtaro: "Eek! My fabulous wig! How dare your nose to touch it, peasant!"

Red colored aura engulfed the hamster and shaped itself into a small solid hand that snatched the wig back from the passenger's nostrils.

Hamtaro: "Now it might have gotten dirty, damned human."

Sakamoto: "Calm down, Hamster Kun. Here, have some lettuce."

The man named Sakamoto took out a piece of lettuce from his pocket and nastily shoved it at the hamster's mouth who slowly started to eat it after wearing it's wig back on.

Sakamoto: "There there."

After consuming the lettuce the hamster's irritated expression was replaced with a comfortable one. He glared at the adventurer and crawled into Sakamoto's sleeves, hiding it's presence.

Clodwal: (I'm surprised even an existence such as that can become a pet for someone like uncle Sakamoto.)

Filana: "Clodwal? What are you looking at?"

Clodwal: "Nothing..."

Seconds later the driver finished hauling up his passengers, the carriage was now packed and fitted with atleast a dozen people. As the transport started moving Clodwal started thinking of what to do after going to the capital and buying his equipment.

Clodwal: (According to father, Atala is currently staying as a bodyguard for the third princess of Arkheist... Now that's fascinating... I'll make meeting her as my main goal...)

As Clodwal was on his way to the capital, he heard rumors about a blazing sword saint from two people with matching clothes. They wore blue tight robes with white undergarments decorated with gold accessories and a silver badge with two eagles facing each other located on the right of their chest, their leggings seemed to be ordinary black leggings with some silver covering the front of their knees as a sort of armor which their wrists also had. They also seem to be armed with sharp narrow swords made of mithril they were holding from the scabbard. It's highly possible that they are knights.

Knight A: "Oi Yoshu, I've heard we won't be forced to fight in the frontlines anymore."

Knight B: "Huh? Aren't we supposed to fight Sarcia too since our country needs more men to finish this fight against those maggots?"

Knight A: "The Squadron Captain mentioned the kingdom obtained a new power, the Blazing Sword Saint."

Clodwal: (Sword Saint..? Someone similar to uncle Reinhard..?)

Knight B: "But a Sword Saint... How powerful is that person?"

Knight A: "It's said she was able to wipe out 470 Sarcian soldiers all on her own!"

Clodwal: (Fairly powerful...)

Knight B: "Seriously?! Then we might as well already won!"

Knight A: "Yeah! she's currently working as a bodyguard of the third princess. Although the higher-ups don't trust her and having an argument whether to send her to fight for the country or not as she's still unknown."

Clodwal flinched in the sudden mention of "Bodyguard of the third princess" recalling what Azathoth said after he questioned his sister's safety, Azathoth that time replied "She's currently serving as a bodyguard for the third princess of Arkheist."

Knight B: "Kah! Those idiots! Must be those noble jerks again who won't let someone who's not a noble take the spotlight. I hope they just let her wipe out the enemies for us."

Night came by in their travels and each of the passengers set up camp near a scattered batch of trees.

Orcan: "Uhh..."

Filana: "What's wrong, Orcan? Bring out the tent already."

Arsol: "Yeah it's freezing outside and we haven't even started a fire yet. You've been standing there for 10 minutes now!"

Orcan: "Uhh, fellas... I think we forgot to buy a tent..."

Arsol: "Huh!?"

Filana: "Wait what!?"

Asta: "I-I thought someone brought a tent so I didn't get any!"

Arsol: "We were thinking the same thing!"

Everyone was in a panic and fell silent. Their eyes fell on Clodwal who didn't seem to react at all or rather untroubled with Bahamut on top of his head who was confused from the abrupt staring contest.

Clodwal: "..?"

Orcan: "Uhm Cloddy, what do ya think we should do?"

Clodwal: "Who knows..? Sleep obviously..."

Clodwal yawned while covering his mouth then everyone else fell into despair and even more silence.

Clodwal: "Grab your sleeping bags, lay on the ground, close your eyes and open it again in a minute and see..."

At Clodwal's orders the others reluctantly did what they were told and brought out their sleeping bags with varying colors almost instantly and crawled inside. They were then told to close their eyes, in the darkness they heard movements or the slight shaking of the ground but ignored it and kept their eyes shut.

Clodwal: "Now open your eyes..."

Asta was the first to open his eyes, he looked around and saw a sort of metal surrounding them with a hatch as the entrance, and a see-through ceiling with a few holes below to let some air in high enough for them to not hit their heads when standing up that might be glass in which the stars and the 3 moons shone brightly in the night sky.

Asta: "Where did this come from?.."

Filana: "What happened?.."

Orcan: "What is this?.."

Arsol: "The stars are beautiful..."

Clodwal ofcourse ignored the questions as the answers are already obvious. What he did was use his [๐˜Œ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ] to enclose them inside a dome made out of titanium with thin see-through diamonds placed as a ceiling.

Clodwal: "Now that your shelter is secured, go take a rest..."

Orcan: "Y-Yeah... Thanks Cloddy."

Clodwal: "You're always welcome..."

He turned his head and expressed a gladdened expression by closing his eyes while revealing a faint smile.

Asta: "Anyways, get inside Cloddy the magic signature right now says it's about to rain heavily any second now."

Asta warned Clodwal about the rain too late and a sudden downpour of rainwater covered the whole area.

*Sounds of rain pouring in on land*

But to their bewilderment Clodwal was not getting wet, or rather the raindrops seem to be avoiding him due to his [๐˜Ž๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜Œ๐˜ท๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ] skill.

Clodwal: "Fret not... I'll be fine... I'll be on the lookout while you sleep..."

Asta: "O-Oh..."

Asta closed their shelter's hatch and fell down on his sleeping bag with his left hand covering his face.

Asta: "Is he god or something?.."

Arsol: "Beats me, he's reliable though."

Orcan: "Right? I saved yer lives by taking 'im with us! Kahahaha!"

Felina: "You sure did, Orcan. Those serpent wolves would have eaten us alive that time if you hadn't brought him along."

Orcan: "No matter who he is, what's important is he's a good guy."

Asta: "His power is unbelievable though, I didn't sense any magic from him yet he was able to do all those things that looked like magic. I bet the military would bet hundreds of gold just to get him as a knight."

Lifana: "I'm thinking he's one of those martial arts cultivators who use their spirit energy to become stronger. I'll head on to bed first. I'm tired for today, goodnight everyone."

Orcan: "Yeah yeah. G'night Lifana-chan."

Asta: "I think I'm about to go sleep too."

Arsol: "Same here, I'm pretty much tired too."

Orcan: "Geez ya sleepy heads go to sleep then!"

As the others went back to their sleeping bags, Orcan stayed awake and read a book about herbs until late at night, he heard the sounds of melodic soft music. Most likely from a flute, the sound was getting closer. As it grew higher in tone he slowly became drowsy and noticed it's irregularity.

Orcan: "...Where is that sound coming from? Hey guys... wake... up..."

Orcan tried to nudge his team awake to inform of a potential danger but unfortunately failed and fell asleep, making him fall off the ground.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

After leaving the group earlier, Clodwal leaped below a tree and landed on it's top. To test merging himself with Bahamut's body parts with the use of [๐˜๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ] by touching it's back, slowly his hand was turning itself to obsidian and started immersing itself with Bahamut's back, slowly sucking his body in.

Clodwal: "Seeing my hand being absorbed like this gives me the creeps..."

After his hands was successfully sucked in, his body and clothes started converting themselves into obsidian as well and was completely absorbed by Bahamut, leaving noone but Bahamut at the top of the tree. It's scales suddenly started making sounds through vibration that produced the same voice as Clodwal's.

Clodwal:"It seems I've merged with Bahamut's body... I can however access his nervous system and see what he's currently seeing... I can use this method to spy on people and gain information... Now let's test another experiment..."

In an instant, Bahamut's body was surrounded by dozens of small particles of light that came closer to one another swirling and creating a small vortex. But it did not last very long and was eventually made to disperse, the exact process was repeated again but counter-clockwise.

Clodwal: "It seems I can still use [๐˜Œ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ] and [๐˜›๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ] while merged with something presently... This was only to be expected since it worked in my previous world before..."

Clodwal started doing experiments while merged with Bahamut's body. The results incite he can choose whether to take control of the body he merges with or not and that his stats, and passive abilities as well as some abilities are applied on the body part he takes control over. However, he wasn't able to use [๐˜š๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜Ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ'๐˜ด ๐˜Œ๐˜บ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด]. [๐˜‹๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ž๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ด] and the other wings while in such state unless he takes over the whole body.

Clodwal: (I now have a clear understanding of such power...)

Below the tree Clodwal is presently on top of was a person clad in a black robe who spoke with a small and cold voice that gained Clodwal's attention.

Person: "Secondary Objective was a success, proceed to the Primary Objective and grab the treasure from the rising star."

10 other people came out or rose from the ground that charged in the direction where Sakamoto and Hamtaro's tent were located with great agility and concealment to the point they were almost transparent and produced no sounds from their footsteps.

Clodwal took control of Bahamut's body and started pursuing them by spreading Bahamut's wings to take flight and see what exactly they will do. He had the intent to assist Sakamoto if the need arises, but if it were only some injuries like a severed arm, he wouldn't bother. The infiltrators then slowly cut opened Sakamoto's tent. However...

Hamtaro: "Huh? Who are you peasants and what do you want?!

Hamtaro was awake and the insides of the tent was covered in a red, sphere-shaped transparent object where Sakamoto was currently taking his sleep lying sidewards. This may be the reason why he was unaffected by the music the flute made.

One of infiltrators slowly removed his robe and revealed a bald middle aged man with a heavily well built muscular physique wearing only trousers and metallic knuckles.

"Hand over the Holy Sword to us and you won't get fried, little critter."

Hamtaro: "What did you just call me, human peasant?!"

"Now now, be a good pet and hand it over."

The infiltrator slowly approached Hamtaro menacingly all the while flexing his well built muscles.

Hamtaro: "Hou? You're approaching me? Instead of running away you're coming right at me."

"I can't beat the crap out of you without getting closer."

Hamtaro: "Hoho! Then come as close as you like."

The two individuals slowly approached each other emitting their own unique and deadly aura. The muscular man was producing a flame like yellow aura while Hamtaro radiated a red chemical like one. After making a proper distance, the infiltrator initiated the attack and aimed to punch the hamster's full body at full force, receiving such an attack would be the same as being hit by a truck for such a small animal. However Hamtaro remained calm and made a small smile.

"MUDA!"

Hamtaro: "Star Lettuce!"

All of a sudden a reddish transparent hand the size of the man's hand manifested in front of Hamtaro that intercepted and took on the blow of the man's fist that produced a small shockwave behind Hamtaro.

Hamtaro: "Yare yare..."

The hand disappeared and a humanoid figure appeared on top of Hamtaro with Hamtaro in between it's feet. The humanoid figure was dyed red and black all over with hair in the shape of lettuce and fists with armored gloves which also applied to it's privates covered in a white waistclothe. It immediately launched an uppercut punch, simultaneous to the time of it's appearance that blew away the infiltrator a few feet in distance. After falling down, the man stood up once again and was healed by one of the infiltrators.

"No need to heal me, this is a respectable and fair fist fight against two men. Hey you, what's your name?"

Hamtaro: "My name is Hamtaro Hoestar."

"Hamtaro, huh. I go by the name Greg the Great. Give me a good match!"

Hamtaro: "Get ready to get your human ass beaten then, Greg!."

Greg: "Is that so. Well then, let us begin!"

Hamtaro: "Hou? You were holding back?"

Greg: "Indeed I was, that one from earlier was only a warm-up!"

The man thrusted himself forward and delivered a punch at Hamtaro's Star Lettuce, to which the latter received with a fist of it's own. A second later the man grinned and started delivering multiple blows with both his fists that created shockwaves from each punch, Star Lettuce did the same until both sides gained momentum and delivered blows faster every second. The other infiltrators that came with the man started cheering and watched the battle. Each time their punches made contact with one another, shockwaves were produced, making some light-weighted things be sent flying.

Greg: "MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!"

Star Lettuce: "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"

The battle continued for 30 minutes until both sides fell into fatigue. As the man grew tired, his movements became sluggish. The time had finally come when he was caught off guard. Star Lettuce successfully delivered a punch at his temple that knocked him out eventually making the man fall on the ground unconscious. At that same time Hamtaro also fell down out of fatigue.

Out of admiration from the respectable duel, an enemy exclaimed in excitement.

"That was a good fight!-- uh, I mean... take Greg and find the Holy Sword!"

Hamtaro: "C-Crap..."

Sakamoto: "Why is it so loud... Hamster kun?"

Sakamoto woke up from his sleep and looked at the hamster laying unconscious on the ground. Afterwards, he glanced at the infiltrators scurrying over their luggage who looked back at him stupidly.

"Guys! He's awake! Hurry it up!"

Sakamoto put his left hand on his pocket and pulled out a compass from school used to draw an arc or circles.

Sakamoto: "[๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ ๐˜š๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜บ]."

The compass he was holding begun producing light and was later engulfed in Sakamoto's energy which shaped itself into a sword.

"R-Run!"

Sakamoto: "[๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ]!"

The [๐˜Œ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜จ๐˜บ ๐˜š๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ] he was holding expanded and grew into a greatsword bigger than even his body. Sakamoto raised the [๐˜Œ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜จ๐˜บ ๐˜š๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ] upwards and looked at the thieves, one of them obviously squeaked.

Sakamoto: "This is for hurting Mr. Hamster! Thieves!"

"We didn't even hurt him!--"

Sakamoto ignored their following words and brought down his sword in a vertical motion at his foes' direction. The action made the greatsword's energy collapse and the surroundings was overwhelmed with the blinding light and cold temperature it produced. Seconds later after the light faded, Sakamoto's front was completely obliterated, leaving a chasm on the ground to which it was either erased from existence or perhaps just blown away.

A few feet above the explosion, Bahamut was airborne with Clodwal still in control of it's body. Spectating the fight from beginning to end.

Clodwal: "He's good... In any case, I must not get involved with them and continue my goal... They have no need of my assistance..."

Clodwal didn't bother reviving the people obliterated by Sakamoto as he didn't see value in their very existence. Healing Hamtaro also wasn't an exception as he was not in a life threatening condition. Instead, he gave Bahamut control over it's body again for him to sleep inside.
