Chapter 140: A Heated Battle
"That ladder—go around from the right, it’s faster."
"Right route, got it! Let’s go!"
"Flying enemies won’t hit you. No need to stop."
"Oooohhh!? They’re not hitting me! Barely missing, it’s scary as hell! Wahahaha!"
Top Chat: Whoaaa! She really dodged it!
Top Chat: Terrifying, terrifying!
Top Chat: She’s through!
Top Chat: Excuse me—DIE!
Top Chat: Boss down instantly!
Top Chat: What’s the time?
Top Chat: Second fortress—8 minutes 32.41!
Top Chat: Three seconds ahead!
"Next! Anything to watch out for?"
"In the mid-stage jet zone, drop off a bit earlier. You’ll shave off 0.1 seconds."
"Timing’s up to you!"
"Got it."
"Anything else?"
"Nope."
"Alright then, let’s gooo!"
Top Chat: Go go go!
Top Chat: Be home by dinner!
"Now!"
"Okay, got it!"
Top Chat: Can she even land on that tiny island!?
Top Chat: Wait, what!?
Top Chat: That was close!
Top Chat: She’s gonna hit the spikes!
"Nope! That ain’t in the script!"
"You forgot to slow down."
"Chooowaaahhh!?"
Top Chat: If it’s the script, then it can’t be helped.
Top Chat: That momentum tho.
Top Chat: She survived, so it’s fine.
"Elf, is there no shortcut in this stage?"
"Do you want the high-risk or low-risk one?"
"Obviously, the high-risk!"
"Time’s the same either way though."
"Then why’d you ask!?"
Top Chat: Same reward is hilarious.
Top Chat: Seriously, why ask lol
Top Chat: Still, with Elf-san backing her, this is insane.
Top Chat: So this is the power of the practical Elf Navi.
Top Chat: Testing new routes live is already crazy, but the fact the little girl can actually execute them is just as nuts.
"Fuuuuh…"
"Want a drink?"
"No more miso soup, I’m stuffed."
"You want to swallow down your nerves, right?"
"…You really are sharp."
Top Chat: Fourth fortress cleared.
Top Chat: What’s the time?
Top Chat: She’s six seconds ahead of world record pace.
Top Chat: But the problem is…
Top Chat: The real challenge starts here.
"No drinks for me."
"You sure?"
"Right now, I want to feel these nerves."
"Alright."
Top Chat: 5-1 cleared.
Top Chat: Here we go.
Top Chat: Uwaaa this is scaryyy!
Top Chat: Please, don’t mess up now!
"Sake-drinking little girl."
"What is it?"
"Go become the world’s fastest."
"Leave it to me!"
The sake-drinking little girl’s greatest hurdle—Stage 5-2—was about to begin.
A volcanic zone thick with smoke. She pressed on through falling fireballs and erupting lava. A rail of routes, built upon countless tests, carried her forward with fierce determination.
This beauty was unlike that of Kirishi-tan or Entarou.
"RTA really is something special."
"What’s this, Elf? Took you long enough to notice."
Top Chat: I never realized it could be this intense.
Top Chat: Now I kinda wanna try it.
Top Chat: Welcome to the RTA swamp—once you dive in, you’ll never climb back out.
Top Chat: Heheheh, another convert to the cause.
Top Chat: Why does this suddenly feel like something evil…
Dodging through the brutal onslaught, she reached the midpoint.
She grabbed a switch behind the door, backtracked slightly, then reopened the door—where another switch awaited.
Placing both switches side by side, she leapt onto them.
"Double Switch Bug—let the RTA truly begin!"
The sake-drinking little girl made a small hop, then dashed off again.
Beneath towering walls, she threw herself straight into a dense enemy zone that the warp demo was supposed to skip.
"Toh! Hah!"
Twisting paths sent her forward, back, up, down. Jumping, dashing, jetting—using everything, she cut down only the absolute minimum of enemies and surged ahead.
And then—
"Here it is!"
Top Chat: Whoooaaa!
Top Chat: She cleared it!
"Fuuuuh…"
Ten seconds of relentless, hairpin maneuvers—finally, the sake-drinking little girl broke through the hardest part.
"Don’t stop!"
"Ah…"
Top Chat: Ah.
Top Chat: Ah.
Top Chat: Aaaahhhhhh!
A single tiny slip—
and she lost her life.
