I Became Strong At Night And Weak At Day Inside A Game

Heavy smoke was rising in front of the auditorium.

I can only see heavy smoke when I look around.

“Hahahaha!!”

A burst of laughter was heard even before the smoke died down.

Soon, through the cracks in the explosion, I could see the dark blue hair standing up.

“What a beautiful sight!!”

The heavy smoke died down.

Only then could I clearly see the man bursting with laughter.

What is it…it was difficult to define in a word.

It was so difficult that it was rather easy to turn around.

The man was very peculiar, unique, and strange.

Because of the blue hair tied up, the hair sticking out in all directions was like a pineapple.

A pineapple-colored Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and slippers were the perfect combination, but he had safety glasses hanging around his neck.

Even with a pineapple-shaped mace hanging from his waist, he held a pineapple with both hands. 

In short… he was a pineapple maniac.

His name came to mind at the sight of such an extraordinary appearance. 

“Pine Flo…”

Contrary to his ridiculous appearance, he is a bomb maniac with good skills.

No matter how you look at it, he’s a pineapple maniac who’s crazy about pineapples, and he’s actually a gag guy, but—.

Broken World is called a failed game all over the world for a reason.

More than that, why is that guy here?

It is easy to guess.

Most likely, the pioneers who saw me tricking spies from the Karmut Federation must have intervened and used Pine Flo. 

Because there’s no way they could believe the spies were playing with an unknown enemy with their sober minds. 

Fragments of the broken barrier came into view behind Pine Flo. 

He must have been held back quite a bit by forcefully breaking through the barrier. 

Considering how big the smoke explosion was, the damage to the auditorium and student cafeteria was pretty small. This is probably because of the barrier.

“Ah, I don’t know who you are, but you there. Do you like pineapple?”

Pine Flo asked me as if he had finally found me.

With my perfectly fine right hand, I gripped the hilt of Deathwise.

“I don’t hate it. But I don’t even like it because it’s annoying.”

“What…? You just said that pineapple is annoying…?” 

“It’s true that it’s annoying to cut.”

“To speak carelessly without knowing…! The beauty of a pineapple begins with its hard skin…!” 

Pine Flo kicked the floor as he gritted his teeth.

Seeing him vent his anger gives me a headache.

Who in the world approaches pineapple not for its taste but for the beauty of its skin? 

I can’t understand each remark, but it’s not an understandable opponent in the first place.

Still, I have no choice but to take my time.

It was difficult to move my left hand properly because of the pain.

I try to ignore the pain, but the fatigue is considerable.

Furthermore, it is still midday.

As long as I can’t use Deathwise’s abilities, I’m not sure I can deal with Pine Flo alone.

Even if he is a gag character, Pine Flo is a very talented person.

Although he never appeared in the main story of Broken World, I remember that in the main story, he is Ethan’s powerful enemy.

Just seeing Estero Academy’s barriers broken, the pineapple bombs he uses should easily blow off limbs with a direct hit. 

My fingertips get cold.

Pine Flo, who stopped kicking when he raised his guard to the limit, touched his forehead.

“But am I generous like a pineapple? So, can I understand even nonsense? I can do it! Instead, I recommend pineapple food that has a harmonious taste after peeling the hard skin in advance! Hey, you! What do you think about pineapple pizza?”

Ah.

“That’s a bit…”

Mint chocolate is okay, but pineapple pizza?

When I was fed up with comments that crossed the line, Pine Flo became contemplative.

“H, how can you insult pineapple pizza like this…? Are you crazy…?” 

“I think you’re more crazy for reacting that far to the level of pineapple pizza.”

“No way… This is the collapse of food culture…! It’s like pouring vinegar on fried eggs! I feel sorry for you who don’t know the beauty of pineapple…!” 

Tears dripped down without warning, and Pine Flo raised the pineapple bomb held in both his hands. 

“So, from now on, I will teach you the beauty of pineapples… Are you here alone? Then it would be very difficult.”

It was a line I had heard many times.

Same with talking a lot.

All the villains in this world have the same characteristics.

However, the only thing similar is the dialogue.

There is no one by my side now.

There is no Ethan to block the attack and no Leon to weaken the enemy’s strength.

Furthermore, I can’t take time until night, and my condition isn’t normal.

Can I do it? 

I’m not sure, but I pulled out Deathwise. 

Whatever it was, it had to be done.

“Not alone, but two, though?”

A familiar voice interrupted as the red hair fluttered in a ponytail. 

Kane touched the window next to me and pulled the corners of her mouth.

“What is it, a walking pineapple? You are playing with something fun by yourself. Theo.”

“Does it sound fun to go one-on-one with a pineapple bomb maniac? Senior Kane?”

“If you’re not that crazy, it’s rather fun. Given the circumstances, I can’t help but laugh.”

Kane lightly turned the wide-bladed spear.

With her usual moderately relaxed atmosphere, she had sharp and wild eyes like a beast.

“I understand the situation roughly. You’re trying to come out for the sake of the academy.”

“I can’t be helped, right? I can’t let it go like this.”

“Still, it is difficult to go out on your own. I saw it again.”

I really can’t help it.

The bachelor’s side will prioritize evacuation, so they can’t come out. 

Even Jin, the security guard, must be running around complaining about being a nuisance.

Even if it takes time, the bachelor, the student council, or the security guard may be able to solve it on their own.

However, I can’t just leave it alone unless I don’t know how many casualties there will be in the meantime.

“I’m not doing it because I want to.”

“Then stay behind. It would ruin the face of a senior to fall here.”

“Then I’ll stay out.”

I’m glad Kane stepped up.

Without Deathwise’s ability, Kane is much stronger than me.

Of course, Kane is stronger than Leon at this point.

“Be careful instead. The pineapple he’s holding is a bomb.”

Play

Unmute

“A bomb after talking about the beauty of pineapples?”

“Don’t understand that part… small pineapples are instantaneous but narrow in scope. A large pineapple has a delay of about 3 seconds before it explodes, but it has a wide range, so be careful.”

“It’s tricky. How do you know about this?”

“I’ve only heard of it.”

From Ethan in the main story.

Thanks to it, this is all the pattern I know.

“Then, should I try to look cool in front of my juniors?” 

Whoosh—. Kane turned the spear.

“I’ll engrave the beauty of pineapples on your body! Go! Baby pineapple! Golden Pineapple”

Pine Flo shouted loudly and threw the pineapple bombs he held in both hands.

Kane ran toward Pine Flo as if she wasn’t afraid of the pineapple bomb that was coming.

Boom! Booom! 

A series of explosions hit the surrounding area.

Kane ran like a beast between the trembling ground and air and the rising smoke.

At that moment, she must have sensed the scope of the explosion, and she passed through a path with no hole in sight to break through at once.

The distance between each other is not too far. 

However, Kane was welcomed by a group of pineapples.

It was a kind of homing bomb, with baby pineapples attached with crude legs.

If you stop, you get caught. 

But when you move, there are already bombs all over the place.

Pine threw a giant gold pineapple bomb at Kane, who was forced to choose between her two options.  

She was surrounded by the enemy.

Defensive as well as avoidance were blocked.

There is no answer unless she knocks down the main body directly.

By the time she decides that.

Kane laid the spear aside in place.

“Ughhhhh! Tsaaa!”

Then I turned my back as hard as I could.

The spears erected on the side rotated together to knock out the flying gold pineapples.

She didn’t cut it.

Instead, she deflected the bomb using the side of the spear blade.

Like hitting a baseball with a baseball bat.

It was to use a spear to dispose of the bomb so that it didn’t explode.

Even the gold pineapple has a time difference of 3 seconds.

Taking all of that into account, the attack is returned.

This was no different than an impressive feat.

“Ah.”

Could it be that he didn’t think she would hit the pineapple bomb there?

Pine Flo caught the returning magnetic bomb.

Then, after an absurdly short moment of admiration, it exploded splendidly.

Boom! 

Pine Flo flew away with a pineapple-shaped explosion.

The sight of it flying to the stars in the blue sky seemed like something I had seen often.

I wonder if he wouldn’t have died like that? 

I don’t know why, but I was convinced—.

The baby pineapple bombs that were walking on two feet stopped as Pien Flo flew away.

The gold pineapple bombs scattered everywhere didn’t explode even though time passed. 

As soon as she decided the surroundings were safe, Kane leaned the spear on her shoulder and took a light breath.

“Phew, it would have been dangerous if I hadn’t known it exploded 3 seconds later!”

“What else is this… Theo? Senior Kane is here too!” 

Ethan and Leon approached as if the evacuation guidance had ended.

Both seemed unharmed.

“We were told to help people evacuate, but did you come here to do something dangerous by yourself?”

“It wasn’t very dangerous. I was just watching from behind. Senior Kane took care of all the dangerous things.”

Answering Ethan’s question appropriately, I shook my hand. 

Perhaps because of the bloody handkerchief wrapped around my hand, Leon’s expression turned serious. 

“You were hurt.” 

“It’s just a cut, though?” 

“It’s too deep for a little cut….” 

“Ethan, you don’t have to make a fuss. Apply for some medicine and I’ll be fine.” 

Actually, it hurts to death, but if you make them worry, it will be really annoying. 

Kane put her arm around Leon’s shoulder and pouted her lips while I forced myself to act like I was fine.

“That’s too much. I was the one who fought the strange pineapple maniac, but I didn’t expect to be left out like this.”

“The pineapple maniac…?” 

“There’s something like that.”

Ethan seemed to be curious, but he decided to move on.

She didn’t have the confidence to explain Pine Flo very well.

“More than that, it’s been a while, right? Younger brother.” 

“Long time no see… Sister.” 

“It’s been a long time since someone keeps avoiding me. But even if I write a letter, he doesn’t reply. Huh?”

“Next time, I’ll try to write as much as I can.”

“Oh, you’ve grown up a lot. You just avoid it now.” 

The conversation between the two would be quite different from the real brother and sister, but there was a strange sense of intimacy.

Leon still tried to distance himself from Kane, even though he did it clumsily.

Even so, it seems that he calls her older sister.

Well, in reality, the reason Leon wants to distance himself from Kane is purely because of the eldest son. 

The relationship between the two is rather good.

I wish they could just get along like this.

If they talk in person, they can get close in some cases.

Anyway, I can say with confidence because I became quite close with the spy of the enemy country. 

…….

………….

…Huh? 

Come to think of it, the assassin who stabbed me was disguised as Louis.

So what happened to the real Louis?
