MiSide: but there are 720 security guards

"For some reason, I feel like I've lost a lot."

By the time Millie finished imparting all her limited knowledge to her junior, what little confidence she had was completely shattered. Hah… calling it "imparting knowledge," she had just been spouting a string of imagined information. Things like… tying tongues in knots, sucking on tongues, slurping saliva… How could anyone possibly do that kind of thing!

Miluo, however, listened quite seriously, which made her feel extremely guilty.

"Alright." With a determined sound from Alain's side, she also looked over.

"What were you fiddling with just now?" Millie's stressed gaze fell upon Alain, which in turn baffled him.

"I was just testing the ring's function. By the way, why do your eyes look so dead?"

"N-Nothing."

Alain was puzzled, lowering his head to examine the ring on his fingertip. Besides the "guidance" function, the ring also had a "version save," meaning Alain could travel to past rooms by opening a door. "Save file," might be more appropriate. He had just tried the version save function, and after thoroughly figuring it out, he could take the two girls and temporarily leave 1.15.

The reason… was that his body really couldn't hold up anymore. Right now, besides the stinging pain all over his body, Alain was also mentally exhausted. As if he would fall into a deep sleep the next second. The fatigue wasn't physical, but mental.

But before leaving. Alain's gaze fell on the corner of the room where a… model, scaled down from a Mita room, was placed.

[Hey! Big guy, don't ignore me!]

There, strings of floating characters would occasionally drift out, falling to the ground after two seconds.

"What's the principle behind this."

"Are you talking about the characters when speaking?" Millie walked to his side, giving him a strange look. "I can do that too. In fact, every Mita can. Hold on. Let me turn on the function."

After Millie closed and opened her eyes, she said, "Ahem, on October 9th, I used hero number 12 to deal 60 damage." Sure enough, this time as she spoke, the content of her words would turn into clearly visible characters floating in front of her, then falling like fragments shortly after.

"Alright, turned it off."

"That's… quite interesting."

Back to the topic. Alain couldn't help but feel curious again about the room model and the black-spotted statue placed in the corner. There should be a Mita inside the room model as well. Judging by how the model was a scaled-down version of a normal-sized room. Alain had some idea about the Mita in the model.

So, he walked towards the model. As his steps advanced, the strings of floating characters also changed.

[You finally see me?]

[Thankfully. Pay attention to the failure on that side.]

[Hey, are you not listening to me at all?]

This little one has quite an attitude. But overall, it was still for his own good. Alain grumbled inwardly, his steps halting in front of the model, and he saw the cute little figure standing in the "tiny room."

"Pocket Mita?"

Definitely not. Alain frowned slightly and came to a conclusion. Pocket Mita's hair fell in two low ponytails, clearly a miniature version of the 'bad woman.' And the little one before him had short hair that covered her ears. More like… a miniature version of Prankster Mita. Let's just call her Mini Mita.

[What are you looking at? Is there anything worth looking at?]

"I was thinking, could you be my substitute lollipop?"

[???]

A clear drop of cold sweat dripped from Mini Mita's forehead, and she was about to hide in another room. Unfortunately, it was all taken in by Alain, who was looking down from a "God's-eye view."

[Big guy, but your brain is the size of an almond]

Now she has to be a lollipop, Alain thought, about to reach out to her. But he saw Mini Mita's gaze turn to the puppet in the corner.

[If you want to go to Sister's side, you must deal with the failure in the corner]

"Sister? Failure?"

Sister probably referred to Prankster Mita's sister—the short-haired Mita who had helped them before. And failure referred to the puppet in the corner? He glanced at the gauntlet holding the greatsword; he happened to have a piece of equipment called "Gauntlet of Failure." But, the color of the Gauntlet of Failure was mainly dark brown. But the failure in the corner.

Alain observed the puppet from top to bottom; black spots dotted its entire body, making black its main color. Black spots. Alain had seen them once before: the door of the room eroded by the Tamperer. Since it might be related to a virus, he had no reason to keep that terrifying puppet around. Although he didn't plan to go directly to 1.15 this time, he could… deal with the threat in advance.

Mini Mita went on to explain the characteristics of the failure: [They are very shy. So, as long as you keep looking at it, it won't be able to make any movements]

"Okay." Isn't that very simple? It was just that the adjective Mini Mita used was a bit strange.

Alain walked towards the puppet, feeling the power within his body. He had to admit, with the stimulation of the pain and the drowsiness in his brain, he was a bit weak. But dealing with this guy should be no problem.

His gaze fixed on the approaching puppet. He had no intention of trying to open the door, but instead raised his greatsword and swung it straight down. The blue light of the blade hummed with a sharp light, but a second later, with a "clang," it was caught by something. This sound even attracted the attention of Millie and Little Mita on the other side.

"What's going on, what's going on? Are we going to fight again?"

And Alain, hearing the hatted girl's murmur, looked at the scene before him with slight surprise: The greatsword had been caught barehanded by the failure. Then, he saw the failure's hollow eyes, as if opening its eyelids, staring straight at him. A "kaka-kaka" sound came from its mouth, like a beast grinding its teeth.

[Why did you attack? Forget it. It's better to have an means of attack. You just keep staring at it, and while the failure can't move, defeat it—]

"Roar—"

He hadn't even finished reading Mini Mita's characters when he saw the failure bite down.

"Alain, Sister Millie! Keep it up!" Little Mita shouted, making Alain feel full of strength.

"Okay!"

Alain did his best to dodge and snatched back his greatsword. Then, his thigh, as if no longer under his own control, suddenly kneed upwards. It knocked the failure back a few steps.

[Why? Staring at it is useless?]

"...I'd like to ask that too." In his peripheral vision, Millie's controller was already glowing blue; that knee strike just now was her doing.

And the failure, after being knocked back, came at him again, its hands in the shape of claws. It was blocked by a blow from the greatsword. [Parry] took effect; Alain deflected the attack and triggered a counterattack, stabbing into the center of the failure's chest.

"Rip!" The cutting sensation of the attack. was very smooth. Compared to the failure's sturdy exterior, it was more like cutting a soft cake. Before long, the black puppet struggled a couple of times, then lost its vitality.
