ShangriLa Frontier ~ Shitty Games Hunter Challenges Godly Game ~

used at the current moment.

He heard that since this morning, Kingfisher, who was once said to have destroyed the whole ranking ladder in this game, has returned.

Super Gutsy Man has fought with Kingfisher before.
It was the only player, other than the Rank 1 Rust, that could best him in combat so easily.
From what Super Gutsy Man has heard, Rust had a real grudge against Kingfisher, and so he thought that it might be worth his while to give it a shot at taking Kingfisher down in order to get to Rust that way.

Especially since Rust’s “Phoenix” completely and utterly destroyed his frame which was equipped with a truly devastating heavy armor and Quadruple Cannons.
For Super Gutsy Man, it was a crushing defeat.

But this time it would be different.
He wasn’t the same guy as he was all that time ago, when he only started to climb the ranking ladder in hopes of getting all the way to the top.

He did extensive research on all of the top players and their frames.
He even went as far as to change his own playstyle and discard the Quadruple Cannons in favor of Photon Lasers, which could track his enemies and even bent a certain amount of times.
Thanks to that he managed to climb all the way to Rank 2, with only Rust separating him from sitting at the absolute top.

「What is, this……?」

Could this be what they called fate? To happen across the legendary Kingfisher, the one who was Rust’s equal, here in a random duel he decided to enter?

“Sanraku” was surely the name of the Kingfisher’s pilot, but the frame itself was not Kingfisher.
So Super Gutsy Man felt kind of honored that he would be the first one to fight “Sanraku’s” new creation.

And once both frames spawned on the battle arena……

「“Fiddler’s Club”……?」

Super Gutsy Man…… I remember him to be strong.
His frame, “Hell Hound” was equipped with a bending laser both at the front of the frame and at its back, which made it a bit problematic to fight, but my “Fiddler’s Club” couldn’t possibly have asked for a better sparring partner.

Contrary to Kingfisher, this frame couldn’t possibly destroy its enemies with one blow, but it was created just for the sake of fighting other human opponents.

「It’s not my hobby to follow a loss with another loss!」

So let’s give it my best to try and bring “Phoenix” down together with this gloomy mood in which ShanFro threw me!
