Infinite Checkpoint Project: No Game No Life

"The weakest race... even if other races want to establish a puppet regime, they wouldn't declare war on the entire world at this time, right?" Said Nangou Haruya.

The elderly Werebeast nodded, "That's true... Looking at it this way, the new king(s) of Immanity's rhetoric seems like a bluff."

"Exactly, Ino-san, so there's no need to worry. I'm tired today and want to rest."

"Is that so? Then we can discuss the details later. As an honored guest, you may rest here, Nangou-dono. After all, we have important matters to discuss tomorrow."

Haruya nodded, "Then I humbly accept."

Going back by carriage now would be troublesome, and there were plenty of beast-eared girls here anyway.

Following Ino's arrangements, Haruya was led by a servant to the guest bedroom on the 60th floor of the Werebeast Embassy (originally the Elkia Empire Building).

"If you need anything, please let us know. Dinner will be served shortly."

"Alright, alright. Do you offer massage services?" Haruya tried his luck.

"Then I'll take my leave..." The beast-eared girl simply ignored him...

Not dwelling on it further, Haruya placed his belongings in the room and lay down on the bed to rest.

However, he still needed to sort out what he currently had.

One phone, one PSP, one handheld console (almost out of battery from being used by Shiro), one tablet, ten manga volumes, three special edition books, two chocolates, one bonus figurine, and a set of DVDs, though they were completely useless now...

"That's all I have."

Although he had brought a charger, he couldn't find a socket in the room.

'A country with electronic games but no sockets in the rooms?! What kind of setup is this?!'

Left with no choice, Haruya quickly finished dinner and used the PSP, which still had half its battery left, to pass the time, hoping to find a socket later.

"Indeed, these loli characters are very flexible and convenient to use."

While playing a familiar fighting game, Haruya suddenly realized he was wasting time.

This wasn't the time to be idle. The Sora and Shiro duo would soon come to the Embassy to negotiate. If they formed an alliance with the Werebeasts after the game, his mission would become much more difficult.

Thinking this, Haruya remembered that Hatsuse Izuna, the Werebeast 'ambassador', was in this Embassy...

'Should I go and build a good relationship with her?'

Before he could finish his thoughts, a knock on the door interrupted him. A familiar voice came from outside, "Baka Haruya, are you asleep? I'm here, desu!" {T/N: Baka is Japanese for idiot/fool...}

"Coming! Coming!"

It was Hatsuse Izuna. She came uninvited, saving him a lot of trouble!

Opening the door, he found the beast-eared loli dressed in a kimono, adjusting her clothes.

"Excuse me, desu." She bobbed a curtsy.

Haruya nodded, "Please come in."

"I brought you this. Even lowly Immanity like you enjoy fruits, right, desu?"

'Ah, the beast-eared loli's unintentional sharp tongue is so adorable!'

"Let me help you with that." offered Haruya.

"Hmph, fine, desu."

Izuna had come to deliver fruits. Haruya picked her up while she was holding the tray.

Passing under her soft underarms, the side of her kimono felt incredibly comfortable, kinda like playing with a little puppy.

And her scent was nice too. Was it the fragrance of the Werebeast herbs?

"W-what are you doing, desu?!"

"This is much more convenient. Look, we can fly!" coaxed Haruya.

"Don't treat me like a kid, a*%hole, desu!"

Izuna, wearing wooden sandals, swung her legs, and her left foot landed on Haruya's face.

"Pfft!"

Because he was holding her too high, he caught a glimpse under her kimono, 'So she was wearing something after all...'

Thinking this, Haruya took another kick to the head. His grip on Izuna loosened, and he stumbled toward the open window.

Losing his balance, his upper body leaned over the window and he fell out.

"Haha, such bad luck..."

Falling from over 60 floors just because he tried to pick up a loli... "What kind of setup is this...?"

On his way down, Haruya looked at the starry sky of this isekai world. The fall from dozens of meters made everything seem slower.

'Good thing I Saved a Checkpoint earlier...'

His body continued plummeting, about to turn into mush.

The wind whistled in his ears, carrying the scent of grass and soil. His clothes flapped loudly as he fell rapidly.

The world suddenly became quiet, and then Haruya heard a shout.

At the window, Hatsuse Izuna leaned halfway out and then jumped.

"Baka-Haruya! Grab me, desu!"

Her small body erupted with immense strength, shattering the window frame. Izuna reached out to grab Haruya.

'Is she using that Werebeast ability?'

When activating the 'Blood Break' ability, her hair and eyes would turn blood red, temporarily enhancing her physical abilities to surpass even the laws of physics.

However, using 'Blood Break' would also place a tremendous burden on her body, potentially endangering her life.

'To think Izuna-chan would do this for someone she just met. How unexpected...'

While Haruya was thinking this, Izuna, after shattering the window frame, began running using her immense strength to sprint along the wall, embedding her feet into the concrete.

Her hair fluttered, and the hem of her kimono swayed.

Looking into Izuna's crimson eyes, she was still a step too late.

'Ah, a red-haired, crimson-eyed loli. Kemonomimis are truly the way...'

Thinking this, Haruya didn't even hit the ground, but instead crashed into a balcony along the way. Without a shadow of doubt, he was dead... again...
