“Hey,
let us borrow your P.C.'s”
“......”
Whether
or not they know about me peeking into Onii-chan and their life,
Tsurugi opened the door to my room with a good smile and without any
introduction,.
Because
I knew others were coming to my room, I changed out of pajamas, and I
vacuumed here and there..... but I didn't expect them to arrive this
quickly.
While
these thoughts raced through my mind, for the time being I greeted
sensei to keep up a good appearance. "Hello sensei. Umm, what
brings you here today?”
“Wah,
it’s so spacious!”
“On
top of being covered with chocolate last time, we
got kicked out right after it returned to normal, so
there wasn’t any time to get a good look at it. Hmm, it indeed has
a lot of area for a private room.”
Tama,
still carrying a randoseru* and Kagami with a uniform and a school bag, stepped in without
permission.
Looking
around restlessly, they really seemed like they were having fun.
“There
are a lot of stuffed animals~☆”
“Hmm.....This
is..... quite the.....”
Tama
was hugging my only friend(stuffed animals) that would heal my heart
to the point of squishing it, and Kagami who was laying on my bed and
putting covers over herself without permission. Don’t sleep.
These
guys are doing whatever as they please.
While
smiling bitterly at her little sisters, Tsurugi hid her voice as she
asked.
“Well,
I won’t pester you about not coming to school- so instead,
cooperate with us.”
“Even
though you’re a teacher you intend to intimidate me....?”
“It’s
a deal, Tsukuyomi Sasami. There
shouldn't be any downsides to having us on your side.
I’m just want
to get along with you.”
Well,
whatever.
As
of now they seem to have no malice- at any rate, with my power I
can’t do anything about these Yagami Three Sisters with force.
If
that’s the case I’ll further the friendship and I’ll conversely
use them. It might be a good idea to think that way.
“Oh
well. But it would be annoying if you stay here for too long, so will
you finish it quickly?”
“I
know.”
Tsurugi
laughed at ease.
“Our
goal is not to enjoy 'Yamatanooroti
SNS'
or whatever- doing the 'research,'
and then 'solving'
if there is an
'alteration'
is top priority. If there is anything suspicious in 'Yamatanooroti
SNS'
we would probably know immediately, and if the 'enemy'
isn’t too stupid then it will make a commotion if it notices
us..... so it won’t take too long.”
“By
'enemy,'
do you mean something from 'Yamatanooroti
SNS'?
And were you able to educated guess from an opponent who is doing
suspicious things? Or rather is it really an
'alteration'
that's
happening?”
“That's
part of what we're trying to find out.”
Or
rather, from Tsurugi’s tone, it seems she already noticed me
'peeping'- well, then actually “pretending to not know” is a
better description.
“So,
just wait a little.”
Following
Tsurugi’s orders,
I,
myself returned to the middle of the room.
From
this position, I can see all the screen’s of the p.c. lined up.
So
they don’t do anything suspicious, I have to monitor them.
“Hey,
little sisters. Come over here. Tama, don’t touch stuff in people’s
house without permission. Kagami, don’t sleep. Even I’m behaving
myself, so don’t embarrass Onee-chan.”
During
that time, Tsurugi hit her sisters' heads with the rumored scarlet
cloth-bag.
Tama
and Kagami, who had been doing as they pleased, reluctantly sat in
front of the P.C's.
I
was finishing up the preparation, so that as soon as you turned on
the power the computer will start up with no problems.
But.
“It’s
good that you lined up a bunch of P.C's,
but my room has only one network
and
'Yamatanooroti
SNS'
is
kinda like a online game and a social network service turned into a
olio** right? We have to prepare individual networks.....”
“That
part I’ll 'alter'
and we’ll get by.”
Tsurugi
said it as if it was nothing. I was shocked.
“If
you can be
useful and
tamper things so they'll
be convenient, you should have prepared your own P.C's
as well.”
“We
aren’t omnipotent..... on top of that it’s pretty tiring, the
'alterations'.
We don’t know what’s gonna happen, so we want to use it as little
as we can.”
Stretching
quite a bit, Tsurugi yawned like a cat.
“Plus,
even if 'Yamatanooroti
SNS'
was a 'evil
change,'
on a big scale a lot of people are involved- that fact is still
there. It’s not a 'evil
god'
that can exercise power without relying on 'foreign
enemies'
and humans, are enemy might be a 'human
blight.'”
These
guys have no intention of hiding that they’re “a being past human
beings.”
“If
'human
blights'
are the enemy, then there is a possibility that even we will need to
be saved- these guys are a little special after all..... That’s
why, it would help if Tsukuyomi who has the 'power
of the supreme god'
was
here, or, actually,
you can deal with the “human blights” the most effectively- right
Sasami?”
“I
can?”
I’m
a hikikomori with almost no strong points.....
While
I was bewildered, Onii-chan, who hadn’t shown up, appeared with
plates with plenty of snacks and a number of plastic bottles in both
hands.
He
had apparently been preparing some form of hospitality for his
guests, the Three Yagami Sisters
Perhaps
because Onii-chan was happy to be commanded by the chibikko(little)
sensei, he was excited as he followed orders. As always, my Onii-chan
was a predisposed servant.
Almost
shocked, I put my weight deeply into the computer chair.
Well,
what should I do-.
“Howawawawa.....”
Tama,
in front of the notebook, raised a weird voice as if she in trouble.
“What
should I do? What should I do?”
“Funyah.
For now, you should imitate me or Onee-san.”
Centered
around Tama the computer beginner, to her right was Tsurugi, and to
her left was Kagami.
By
the way, Onii-chan was to the right of Tsurugi.
With
the four in a line, they turned on the P.C.'s nearly all at the same
time.
The
machines roared, the electromagnetic waves were flowing like a tide
as they were trasmitted.
“Huh?”
Tama,
who was enjoying the colors displayed on the computer screen, looked
over to me who was the only one in a distant location and tilted her
head.
“Isn’t
Sasami Onee-chan going to play 'Yamatanooroti
SNS'?”
“I’ll
pass.....”
Doing
a expression as if I wasn’t interested, I started my computer, and
pretended to be aimlessly viewing at online shopping pages.
“It’s
a hassle- besides, I can’t put in entries into my blog, let alone
manage it. I haven’t even
used
the dashboard, so I’m a person that doesn’t know if things like
SNS is fun or not.”
“Even
on the internet are you a hikikomori.....”
Tsurugi
grumbled as if shocked, and sighed.
“Well,
it won’t help if we aren’t unreasonable- We're
thankful that you'll even let us borrow your P.C's.
Tsukuyomi, you'll
help,
right?”
“Yeah.....
if the students are infatuated over 'Yamatanooroti
SNS'
and
not attending school, that would be a problem, so
at least we should take a look what kind of thing it is-”
Onii-chan
said something a teacher would say, as if suddenly remembering.
After
glancing at those four, I returned my line of sight to my screen.
From
the position of the four, they wouldn't be able to see what I’m
doing in the back.
Equipping
my headphones, I click on the icon on my desktop.
'Yamatanooroti
SNS'
started
up.
I
can’t tell them.....
That
I was a 'Yamatanooroti SNS' addicted all the way. To think that I was
abusing the fact that I was a hikikomori and a online-gaming cripple
that was immersed with thousand of hours.....
On
the screen was my character named “SASAMISAN(written katakana)”
that could pass as a foreigners name, with fully armored with rare
items, and looked by everyone in “Yamatanooroti SNS” with
respected eyes.
There
was no way that I would have though that the Yagami Three Sisters
would put an eye on “Yamatanooroti SNS”
Even
being dark and gloomy, I moved the character inside the screen.
If
the Three Yagami Sisters judged the “Yamatanooroti SNS” as a
“evil change,” and plan to smash it up - I had to prevent that
with all my might.
At
least I should prevent the existence of “Yamatanooroti SNS”
itself from disappearing..... I don’t even want to think about the
story spun by the character that I raised to this point and the items
I gathered all going to waste.....
In
this case, this time- I have to confront the Yagami Three Sisters.
@
@ @
Registering
for “Yamatanooroti SNS,” and downloading the necessary things,
Kagami was reading the “Yamatanooroti SNS admission guide” she
had printed before.
“Yamatanooroti SNS” is
a sword and magic fantasy + academy atmosphere, so it’s not a
“guide book” but a “admission guide.”
Well,
the sad part of online games is that if you get addicted to some
point, you have to either buy a thick guide book sold in stores, or
endlessly gather information online.
It’s
okay if I give advice, for now I should look over the situation.
Since
these guys are involved, things probably won’t progress
normally.....
“ 'Yamatanooroti SNS'
existed from the time that the world wide web melted into the general
public and everyone got used to the net environment, it really is a
SNS with tradition.”
Kagami
is referencing the “admission guide.”
“The
company was barely passing by, and it didn’t quite get popular- the
evaluation
of the reconciliation of SNS and online game was 'both
of them are half-hearted,'
and
the evaluation worldwide wasn’t too sweet apparently.”
“So
it’s like a eroge with a high gaming nature.”
Tsurugi
nodded as if satisfied.
“The
game is profusely hard and I can’t clear it and see the ero image,
on top
of that,
the
game isn't
particularly fun! Kinda like that? Even though I bought this game to
because I wanted to see the ero! But I got tired of dragging myself
to read the sentences!”
“Please
don’t make everything into a talk about eroge.”
She
looked at her sister as if disgusted, and Kagami spit out.
“Anyway,
even that 'Yamatanooroti SNS'- as the technology of the internet
progressed it also gradually approached to its
ideal,
the users increased, and as of recently it seemed to get a huge
break. It was rather unnatural however- in this rigorous consumer
society, to wait so care freely for its growth, the world and the
public’s patience shouldn’t be that long. Why did the company who
manages this didn’t go bankrupt.”
“A
special 'alteration' happened and
it protected itself from going bankrupt- or something like that?”
Tsurugi
murmured with a straight face.
“Or
they might have ignored profits. Making money may have not been
purpose. Even if no one was looking at it, even if doesn’t amount
to a penny- there are bunch of people who would manage the homepage
and blog. Humans spin stories even if it doesn’t make money, they
are creatures that have a desire of “I want someone to know about
me”.”
As
if she envied something, the chibikko-sensei smiled.
““Anyone
can write a book”- a story named by their own life, wanting to be
looked by someone. Wanting to preserve it in some form. Wanting to
not disappear like frost. I understand that feeling. The gods as well
want to preserve their stories as mythology. Great men wrote down
something in history books. But, even the public is living inside the
story.”
In
the internet world, a countless number of homepages, blogs, and
something besides those are scattered as small worlds, making a
miniature garden.
Even
if it’s not needed by anyone. Even if it doesn’t seem like you
will earn any money.
Humans
are creatures that want to leave stories in some form.
“Lots
of words have
been
spun, countless pictures that seem to be cut from the Earth,
paintings and songs that were born from imagination- in the net world
their is a numerous amount of stories being swirled around. But those
are in almost every case.....not
looked at
by
anyone, and pile up like sand.”
Tsurugi
had a distant look in her eyes.
“The
story that no one knows, where does it go? Even if there is no
meaning and profit, why do humans still spin stories? Writing out a
mythology centered around the “self,” what are humans trying to
become?”
After
doing a monologue that you can’t understand- Tsurugi's expression
was difficult.
“Why
is it that, the people’s vision of the structure of the status quo
this world is Schrödinger's cat,
but the divine grow stronger with people’s “desire to seek”?
No
matter how small the base, by
gathering believers, widening the scope of action- eventually the
influence against the world increases. The users of 'Yamatanooroti
SNS' number
three hundred thousand..... it might be a existence that causes us
little trouble”
“I
don’t really understand.”
Kagami
murmured as if she seemed concerned.
“Umm-
If we get a lot of humans as allies, absorbing that vitality, and the
god will power up..... is that how it is? The god who controls
'Yamatanooroti SNS', because of that is tremendously strengthened-
correct?”
“Even
that kind of interpretation is okay. A monster that absorbs human’s
vitality and grows, an
image like that is fine..
You can still interact
without properly understanding it. Plus, no matter how much you
strengthen yourself- you won’t even be an enemy when it’s us
three sisters”
Murmuring,
carefree, Tsurugi gripped the game controller for the P.C..
The
game part of 'Yamatanooroti SNS' is useable with just mouse and
keyboard, but Tsurugi claimed that it would be difficult without a
controller, so I let her borrow it.
“Well,
let’s try to have the most fun out of this. I’ll make them regret
that they foolishly put a hand on my students- this, is kinda like an
RPG right? Make a character, have an adventure, and level up.....”
“Funyaa.
'It
also has those functions'
just that. The foundation of it is a SNS- the 'story'
that develops inside 'Yamatanooroti SNS' has a lot of 'events'
that occur along with it, so the main purpose is to communicate with
others as those happen.
While
idly viewing the “admission guide,” Kagami explained.
“It
is possible for those who want to play the game to focus on that,
playing minigames, and building communities, and of course even make
blogs..... there is a rather lot of freedom. It’s something like 'a
SNS with a strong nature of that of a game.'”
Whether
it was that, although she gives an impression of one always reading
but is slow at reading the characters, or the fact that she might be
weak at thinking and then “understanding”, Kagami was speaking so
slowly each word was tantalizing.
“We
will each build a character, and we will “enter” into a school of
'Yamatanooroti SNS' with lots of people, then for three years, we
will manipulate that character and will deliver a school life.“
“Three
years, that long?”
To
Tsurugi’s concern, Kagami showed no expression.
“It
is nothing more than the time in the game. If you put it into the
time of reality- well, roughly 'one
year'
is about 'one
month.'
If three years pass,
the character will 'graduate,'
and
the items you earned will to some extent be inherited to a new
character that you will create and 'enter'
again~. You
will repeat something like that endlessly.”
“If
you 'graduate'
will there be any privileges?”
“Yes.
You’re options
will increase. New
species and appearance options are added,
and you will be able to experience new events. In other SNS the
things called “friends,” you will inherit something similar
called “comrades.” As your play time increases, your items and
money will increase, and you can gradually play extravagantly. The
“graduation” prevents ruts, and is a measure so you can play
without ever getting tired of it.”
Exactly.
I
had “graduated” my character tens of times as well.
The
characters that “graduate” become NPCs, and some become clerks
and teachers in the internal towns of “Yamatanooroti SNS”,
carelessly encountering them is pleasant..... There are times that
things happen and they become monsters and attack you, that is also
interesting.
“Furthermore,
during the three years, those who leave excellent marks, without even
“graduating”- will be sent to a special stage, “Valhalla,”
and will endlessly fight endlessly against
epic
leveled monsters.
In “Valhalla” there are other students sent the
same way and
monsters who have huge
powers,
and and
the two battle untiringly.
Well that's
is more for
people
that really are fond of games and want to do high level adventures.”
“There
won’t be a point where we get hooked on it that deeply though”
Perhaps
Tsurugi thought it looked fun. Her eyes glistened.
“Oh,
it seems like the download is complete. Can
we start with this?”
“It
seems that way. Did everyone else finish?”
Tama
and Onii-chan nodded to that. These two seem weak at games.
Either
way the four at the same time, clicked on the 'Yamatanooroti SNS'
icon- as the name states, it is like a dragon with eight
heads(Yamatanooroti in kanji is 八崎大蛇).
@
@ @
A
beautiful opening rolls.
It
is one world.
A
blue beautiful planet. Around it are five moons.
In
the oceans that are red and purple here and there, there are a number
of continents and islands scattered.
A
dragon gliding, and giants swaggering, it’s a fantasy world.
With
the image flying around that world, a ___ rolled.
The
gods who once created the world are filled with regret.
Countless
of gods tampered with the world as they pleased, resulting in a world
rebuilt only for their own desire.
The
world reduced into chaos and hideousness from just one look
“Let’s
start over”
“This
is a failure”
The
gods who judged that assembled one at a time,
and
to level the world, assembled Yamatanooroti that destroys everything.
In
each of the monster’s eight necks lies a symbol of destruction,
and
that monster is ruthlessly trampling the world.
But
the gods did not predict the countless lives that breathe on in this
world that failed,
Seeing
those god’s will, they violently resisted,
and
pleaded that, “we are not a failure,”
harboring
determination and courage, the lives all over the world that were in
unity,
and
were finally able to seal lord Yamatanooroti as a result of fierce
battle,
and
restore peace for a moment,
But
Yamatanooroti was not destroyed,
so
when that devil once again resurrects and tries to lead the world to
destruction,
so
that they can win-
in
various places schools were built, and youngsters with promising
futures were gathered from around the world,
taking
on the mission of protecting the world - they were called the
“defenders,”
at
the same time the period of chaos was drowned in delight,
and
those who were doing as they pleased
recovered
themselves, and pledged to live with integrity,
so
they would never be judged as being a “failure” by the gods
again.
The
countless academies for the protection of the world, and self
training-
you
will be attending one while you are embracing the hope for the
future,
you
can indulge in lazy pleasure, and atrophy as you play,
but
you can not forget,
because
of that sordid and ugly feeling of laziness,
we
were give by the gods,
the
chance to protect the world, or to win the trust of the gods-
young
one, let’s share our youth together, and have some friendly
competition.
Finally,
the scene sets itself in the middle of a huge continent, with a
mechanized tower that seems to be the fusion of a brick house and
gears that stand out. You’ve arrived in a mysterious town.
The
door of the chalky palace that stands out the most in the town, with
a tree growing from the roof down, opens wide.
The
gatekeepers clear the streets, and a bright red carpet is laid, and
you proceed onto a lobby with light spilling out.
In
the very back, a small room with a artistic design appears, and, over
the tables with scrolls and parchments, there is a kind looking elf
with glasses smiling.
Makena
“Freshmen, welcome to the school administration tower.”
“Oo,
it talked.”
Tsurugi
was probably surprised at the fact that along with the sentences that
appear on the screen, a voice that seems like that of a famous voice
actor echoed.
This
Makena-san guides the freshmen, and is a popular character that shows
up in lots of events(because she wears loose clothing, in some
doujinshi, meaningless disputes like “she is flat-chested!” “No,
I won’t acknowledge her unless she secretly has big boobs!”,
happen).
As
Makena simply talked about what Kagami explained before, she handed a
sheet of paper around.
Makena
“First, please pick which “academy” you want to enter.”
The
papers fill up the screen.
Makena
“It seems that you are a beginner of “Yamatanooroti SNS,”
so you should pick one of the three “academies” for beginners.
The “Olympus academy” is for those for like games. The “Jerusalem
academy” is for those who want to interact with friends. For those
achievers that want to enjoy both, I would recommend the
“Takama-ga-hara *** academy.”
“So
Greek mythology, Bible based,
and Japanese mythology.....”
Tsurugi
murmured as if to herself.
“We
want to stick with the four of us, so let’s pick the same
“academy.” Is “Takama-ga-hara academy” okay? It looks safe,
and if it’s Japanese mythology, I’m somewhat knowledgeable.”
“I
don’t mind if it’s that one”
Onii-chan
was swept into picking “Takama-ga-hara academy.”
Everyone
else did the same as well.
Makena
nodded as if satisfied, and handed the next document.
Makena
“I got it. Alright- Next, will you tell me a little more about
yourself? Could you give us your necessary information?”
Then
the screen changed.
On
the screen thats colored like parchments ,a bunch of blanks popped
up.
Most
of the blanks were still not filled in.
Tsurugi
nodded as if she understood.
“It’s
a create-a-character. With this you can make your own chara- a being
in 'Yamatanooroti SNS' that you will control as if your own clone.
You can find these in normal games..... hmm, names and gender, race
and occupation-”
“Funyaa”
Without
being scared, Kagami fiddled with this and that.
“Even
though it’s a 'school
game,'
there’s a lot of freedom in things like appearances. Like being
bald and having a beard..... And 'jobs'
even though you’re a student-“
“Well,
if you worry about things like that, it’s your loss. Woah, there’s
only three 'races.'
'Human'
'Elf'
and
'Mazoku****'
“If
you 'graduate,'
you can pick things according to your grade. 'Elfs'
are weaker compared to humans, but are highly intelligent and are
excellent at magic. 'Mazoku'
have the same capabilities as humans, but have
the role
of 'being
spies, and infiltrating and occupying the academy for the world
domination of the devil.'
Special events are easier to trigger
for them.“
“Hmm”
Tsurugi
lay flat on the floor, and already is in sloppy posture.
“So
we don’t get confused on looks, let’s make it so that they look
like us. Oh, you can automatically make it look like yourself if you
put in a image of yourself -Hey Sasami, bring a camera“
“Yes
yes”
Because
I was called, I prepared a camera that connects with the computer.
Taking
one of everyone, I transferred the image to its owner.
Based
on that, the character’s appearance will be decided.
On
each of their screens, there was a character made with beautiful
graphics, that looked just like them(the clothing was the same for
all of them, and was medieval European.)”
“Oo,
wow. I’m in the screen.”
Tsurugi
was delighted.
“To
be honest, I wanted it to be more of a sexy and beautiful woman
with excellent sex appeal!”
“Seeing
that kind of Onee-san would only make me sad, so stop it please”
“Tama
too, I wanted mine to be smaller”
To
her bigger sisters’ conversation, Tama muttered as if feeling
lonely.
“Well
like, Tama is like, big so. I get put in the back of the class, and
even if I eat the same amount as everyone, I’m still hungry. I wish
I was about the same height as everyone”
“That’s
an extravagant problem....”
Tsurugi
murmured as if she felt unpleasant, and typed, clack clack clack.
“Let’s
put in our own names as well, because it would be easier to
recognize. Tu, ru, gi, got it.”
“So
I am 'Kamiomi(Onii-chan’s
first name fyi)'”
“I’ve
been thinking this from before, your name is so hard to pronounce.
Tsukuyomi Kamiomi, there’s to many 'ミ(mi)!'
Every time I call your name, I stutter.”
“Even
if you say something like that- Speaking of something that’s hard
to read, wouldn’t it be most likely Kagami-san’s? “Yagami
Kagami,” it’s like a tongue twister.”
“That’s
none of your business”
“Waaa!
That’s unfair of you two! Tama will also be hard to read and match
you guys!”
Tama
was jealous for an unknown reason.
While
they were idly talking, Tsurugi quickly finished her character
creation.
“Yes,
I did it!”
“So
fast”
Kagami
peeked at her sister’s screen with a surprised face
“What
kind did you make?”
Tsurugi’s
character is something like:
Name/Tsurugi
Race/Human Gender/Female Age/Sixteen
“.....sixteen?”
“It
can’t be helped, I can only pick sixteen!”
“Yamatanooroti SNS”
is a
“school
game,”
it’s staged on a high school, and when ever someone admits, it
seems that they are sixteen.
Besides
that, there are blanks for things like “birth place,” “future
goals,” “hobbies,” “special skills,” but that area isn’t
that important, so it doesn’t matter.
The
problem is the “occupations” that range to thousands of different
types.
From
which one you pick, it determines the range of thing you can do, and
it limits what kind of equipment you can wear. There are things such
as “secret occupations,” and even things such as “upper level
occupations,” where you have to have a certain amount of experience
to transfer into, even I haven’t went through them all.
“I’m
the type of person that wants to power through these kind of things,
that’s why I picked a
warrior
based 'occupation.'
Look, it’s called 'big-swordsman.'
Doesn’t it look pretty strong?”
“It’s
a big power for a small body.”
While
Kagami was admiring, the Makena in the screen was doing a job of
receiving the documents with a smile.
Makena:
“Yes, there isn’t a problem. Hmm.....?”
Furrowing
her brow, Makena stared at the documents with an unwelcoming look.
Makena:
“That’s not good, Tsurugi-san. You have write the truth in the
documents.”
“What?
A document deficiency? No way, writing that I was sixteen was
actually not allowed!? What’s wrong with lying about my age in an
online game and retrieving my youth!!”
“No,
please wait, this is-”
Makena
“Your real “occupation,” isn’t is this?”
While
talking, Makena put a red “×” on the documents, and was
rewriting.
The
letters of “big-swordsman” entered in the “occupations” was
cleanly vanished, and replaced it was-
“This
is lucky, Nee-san. The fact that this message was displayed
means..... at the time of the 'admissions,'
you
can have an rare 'occupation'
that had a slim chance of occurring. Compared to other 'occupations,'
you might have less abilities, but you have at least three times
more- good omens.”
“What?
No
way. There’s something like that?”
Suddenly,
Tsurugi seemed happy and was gazing at the screen.
“What
kind of “occupation” will it-”
The
face that was full of anticipation, then became rigid.
Makena:
“Yes, isn’t Tsurugi-san’s 'occupation'
a 'banchou*****,'
not 'big-swordsman?'
“Banchou!?
What the heck!? Even though in real life I’m a teacher!? Wait, is
this even an occupation!?”
Makena:
“Well then, I will provide you with the initial “banchou”
equipment.”
Ignoring
the panicking Tsurugi, Makena opened a treasure box with a gentle
smile.
In
“Yamatanooroti SNS,” during the time of admissions, each
individual is provided with initial equipment that matches the
“occupation,” and 200 gold in funds.
“What
kind of equipment....”
Tsurugi
confirmed the items given to her, and read.
“Well,
since it’s initial equipment it’s like having “no equipment,”
but..... Oh, in the right hand a “wooden sword”..... a wooden
sword!? The clothing is “biker gang
apparel******!?”
Initial items are
“cigarettes×3,” wait!! The entrance ceremony is in a little bit,
but aren’t I putting a little too much spirit!? Even though it’s
a “school fantasy of swords and magic!?””
Makena:
“So, have a fun school life♪”
“Don’t
send off students who look like this with a smile, Makena!! None of
this has any intention of creating
a fun school life!! I can only imagine characters
in a delinquent manga who constantly says things like, “HUH!?” or
like, “BIKIBIKI(the sound of blood vessel about to pop)......!!”
or like, “~LET’S DO IT!!””
“Our
condolences, Nee-san”
While
Kagami was laughing at her big sister’s tragedy, she finished her
work too.
“I
finished too”
“Grr-.....
Kagami should become a weird character too”
Almost
crying, Tsurugi peered into her little sister’s screen.
Name:Kagami
– Race:Elf – Gender:Female – Age:Sixteen
“Oh,
you chose “elf.””
“Yes.
Even if we act as a group, I think we still need one who can heal- So
I picked a 'occupation,'
specializing
in
that area. Also, I’d thought it would be better if I picked 'elf'
which
is high in intelligence and magic if I'm
to be
healing, instead of “human” who has lots of health.
“I
see. What kind of “occupation” did you pick? Something like a
priest, or like a doctor?”
“It’s
this”
Kagami
pointed at her screen with confidence.
Occupation:Veterinarian
“Veterinarian?”
“My
dream is to endlessly sleep peacefully with animals that have
adorably fluffy fur. I can get used to being a veterinarian-”
“Well,
if there was a veterinarian who wasn’t treating, but sleeping with
the animals I would hit them..... or rather, isn’t your role to
heal- can veterinarians heal humans?”
“Ah”
Kagami
handed the documents to Makena. Whether she recalled that she went to
an irreversible step, she widened her eyes.
But
closed her eyes soon after, and fell right to sleep on her side.
“Oh
yeah, you go to sleep whenever it’s inconvenient for you.....”
Once
you pick your “occupation,” at this point you can’t change it.
Since her little sister that fell asleep, Tsurugi confirmed Kagami’s
accessories that were given to her without permission.
Right
hand:Syringe
“Scary!?”
Next
to the shocked Tsurugi, Kagami woke up.
“Ah,
I’m in possession of “anesthetic×3.” It seems I can use
injections of drugs for different uses. Hmm, if we dissolve Nee-san’s
“cigarette” in water, the enemy might instantly die because
nicotine is poison.”
“Again,
it’s kinda scary!!”
“Tama
is
finished too!”
Tama
raised her hand, in between the two having a un-fantasy like
conversation.
Name:Tama
– Race:Mazoku – Gender:Female – Age:Sixteen
“.....Why
did you pick 'Mazoku?'”
“Hmm?
Because, Tsurugi-Nee said to make it preferably as the same as
'yourself
in reality.'”
“Well,
out of 'humans,'
'elves,”
and 'mazoku,'
we are probably 'mazoku'.”
Kagami
nodded as if she concurred.
“What
kind of 'occupation'
did you pick?”
“Well
like, Tama is like, ..... ehehe”
Tama
happily pointed to her screen.
Occupation:Patissier*******
“ Patissier!?”
After
Tsurugi screamed, she asked Kagami.
“.....What
was that again? I understand it vaguely, but what kind of job was it
again?”
“I
don’t really know it well- umm, a sweets craftsman?”
“You
know like, Tama is like, was thinking that if she became a person who
makes sweets, she could eat sweet things like chocolates a lot
everyday, that’s why a patissier.....ehehe”
These
guys are faithful to their desires.
Tsurugi
let out a sigh, as if shocked.
“Even
though it’s a 'school
fantasy of sword and magic'....
we’ve gathered strangely realistic occupations. I have doubts about
my 'banchou,'
but
a veterinarian and a 'patissier'.....
the income seems high, though
what this group will do is too unknown.”
“Ah,
the accessories came in”
Tama
is checking the items Makena gave to her.
Right
hand: Knife
“Again,
it’s kinda scary!!”
“But
if I don’t have a knife, I can’t cook?”
“That’s
true, but!!”
Next
to the sisters who were having a conversation and getting along,
Onii-chan was silent.
With
a gloomy mood, he kept silent.
“Sensei?”
Kagami
noticed, and nestled up behind Onii-chan.
“This
has a time limit, so if you don’t hurry up and pick-”
Exactly.
A countdown is displayed on the screen, and will end in a few tens of
seconds.
But
disappointingly, Onii-chan was being indecisive.
Name:Kamiomi
- Race:Human – Gender:Male - Age:Sixteen
.He
was somehow able to get that far, but he was still lost on what
“occupation” to pick.
Well,
for Onii-chan, who is always compliant to others, it almost
impossible to pick a job, but.....
Onii-chan
was moaning and was fully troubled.
“What
should I do..... Which should I pick, e-everyone, who should I
become? What 'occupation'
should I pick.....”
“Shouldn’t
you pick the the one you like?”
Tsurugi
made a troubled face.
While
that was happening, the time ran out, and the screen forcefully
changed.
Makena:
“.....”
Makena
collected the documents, and viewed it with scrutiny.
Then,
while sighing she took off her glasses, and gave a scorn gaze.
Makena:
“.... It seems like you weren’t able to pick a 'occupation' in
the time limit- Can’t you hurry up a mere choice in a game? The you
in reality probably can’t pick a thing for yourself, and is a
parasite like slowpoke that depend on your parents .....”
“The
Onee-san who was gently dealing with us is now abusing me?”
Onii-chan
is being treated terribly even characters of games.
Makena:
“Oh well, it can’t be helped, so I’ll pick an “occupation”
for you..... hehe, this suits someone like you!!”
With
a sudden change in her face, she screamed, and pounded letters into
the document.
Occupation/Loser(Translated
from 負け犬
which
is loser dog)
Makena:
“All right, have a fun school life, L・O・S・E・R.....
Kyahahaha!! You’re probably trying to bury the fact that you live a
lonely life with a game, but the net isn’t that simple BAAAKA!! Go
into despair, and die by hanging yourself on a suicide site!!”
“Did
I do anything to be insulted like that?”
“You’re
shameful in games too.....”
Tsurugi
gazed from Makena, who was laughing hysterically with her famous
voice, and to the appalled Onii-chan, and then deeply sighed.
The
future seemed bleak.....
