Chapter 2 : Little Sister’s Preferences and Character Create
“Fufu, It was a lot more expensive than I thought…… I’ll have to be frugal for a while…… But if I could experience a honeymoon with Shizuku daily, then it wouldn’t hurt to spend this much at all……!!”
I squeezed out various information from Ranka and returned home triumphantly. I finished preparing for lunch before rushing to the nearest electronics store to purchase the VR gear. Right now, I was secluded in my own room, looking over the object I just took out of the packaging.
Since an out-of-season blizzard just assaulted my wallet, I felt like I was going to vomit up blood. However, when I thought about the time I’ll be able to spend with Shizuku, it wasn’t even considered a scratch.
Fufufu, with this I’ll also be able to have some everyday fun playing with Shizuku……! Ah, not good, I got a nosebleed from my imagination, sniffle.
“Anyways, settings settings! Let’s see, first was……”
I laid down on my bed, donned the VR gear and powered it on.
Within the absolute darkness, countless lights formed a line, throwing me into a wondrous cyberspace. I quickly skimmed through the many pointless entries in the system settings and downloaded the game title that Ranka had told me about.
«Fantasy Frontier Online»…… Also known as FFO.
It seemed like the game concept was centered around the player being an adventurer who traverses a dangerous new continent which is dominated by monsters in order to discover their own haven.
After the game download finished, all that was left was setting up your character.
Having said that…… The character creation was quite troublesome as well.
“Heeh~, so there were such many fine details you could decide on for your character’s appearance……”
I involuntarily groaned due to the abundance of configurable data.
Though, on the other hand, seeing how you’re able to put forth some effort in perfecting your design, it might’ve turned out to be convenient to me since I wanted to be liked by Shizuku.
“Mufufu, If it’s about Shizuku’s preferences, I have a perfect grasp on them you know?”
I knew everything from her food likes and dislikes to even the color of today’s underwear. There wasn’t anything I didn’t know!!
…… Ah, I didn’t know what she’s been doing in the game. Sniff-sniff.
It’s fine it’s fine, from here on out, I’ll burn all her in game conducts into my memories!!
For that reason, I’ll make an avatar that was unequalled in cuteness to instinctively attract Shizuku!!
“Judging from the game and manga covers in Shizuku’s room, surprisingly, she liked smaller girls didn’t she…… Maybe she wanted to pamper a girl smaller than herself? Since she was the youngest child, I wonder if she wanted a little sister?”
Shizuku and I were ultimately sisters, so that kind of inclination wasn’t weird at all.
Little sisters were cute after all! It can’t be helped!
If that’s the case, then I’ll lower my current height remarkably to somewhere around a grade schooler’s height.
The contours were made slim and the physique adapted a dainty appearance to stimulate a desire to protect. Following that, to fit in with how the game world looked, I designed my character to have dazzling silver hair and large bright cyan eyes, giving her sort of a mystical aura.
“Hmm…… It’s not enough.”
Then, after doing all that, I looked at my character and tilted my head to the side.
It’s cute. It’s certainly cute, but it was unfortunately no match for Shizuku’s own cuteness.
“At any rate, it wouldn’t be any good unless I created my character as if it was Shizuku’s own younger sister. Oh right, if it was me, then its possible. Remember, the way Shizuku looked as a grade schooler……!”
Indeed, the current tsuntsun Shizuku was cute, but the Shizuku back then was also adorable.
She would call out, onee-chan onee-chan, while following closely behind me. Her little hand would grip the hem of my shirt and she’d look up at me with dewy eyes.
“Onee-chan, I’m lonely so how about sleeping together today……?”
“Buhaa!!”
Beep beep!! An alarm echoed and I was forced to log out.
It appears that I spouted a nosebleed from the stimulation of Shizuku’s younger days, thus the VR gear ended up detecting abnormal conditions from the body.
Fuu, no good no good. If I don’t calm down, I won’t be able to play the game together with Shizuku.
“Nevertheless, my objective was decided….. The avatar I was creating right now, I’ll take complete control of its characteristics and make it inherit all of Shizuku’s cuteness…… This’ll work!”
I crammed a tissue into my nose and put on the VR gear once again, diving into cyberspace. I resumed my avatar creation.
In the middle of it, I took a break to prepare dinner for Shizuku and asked if she wanted to sit at the same dining table or sleep together, but I was flat-out rejected so I felt low in spirits. It’s already become something like a daily routine, so I carried that sorrow on me and returned to my task. Then……
“Fu, fufufu…… It’s complete, my avatar……!”
Midnight had long since passed, it was now the time when the sky would soon turn white. At last, I’ve finished creating an avatar I was satisfied with.
The silver hair and cyan eyes stayed the same. It had well-ordered features as if it was a western doll as well as beautiful skin like fresh snow, giving it an impression of being fleeting.
The appearance expressed the notion that it was fairy that had jumped out of a picture book itself. I reproduced Shizuku’s cuteness from her grade school era with my utmost ability and it was a masterpiece that had my own arrangement to it.
Character name…… My real name was Suzune, so I’ll set it as “Bell”.
“With this, Shizuku will also be accepting of me. Probably……”
However, I spent a lot of time making this avatar, so yeah, as expected, I was sleepy. Extremely sleepy. I felt like I’d fall asleep any moment right now as is.
“Uu, I’ll have to finish up the rest of the settings too.”
Tomorrow- no, it’s already today huh. Sunday meant no part-time job so it was the ideal day to game. If possible, I’d like to finish the settings before bed, so I’d have more time to play later.
“Let’s see, class settings…… If I’m not mistaken, Ranka said that Shizuku was a «Magician»…… Then, I’ll also be matching with Shizuku.”
Having the same class would make it easier to create conversation, don’t you think?
I wasn’t able to speak much with Shizuku lately and the game being the topic of discussion would’ve been okay too, I just wanted to talk a lot with her. I was starved from the lack of Shizuku.
“Then, next was….. umm, status allocation?”
The subsequent requirement was to allocate my stat points.
Apparently, by using these points, you could increase your character’s status. It seems like you could strengthen it in whichever direction you wanted but…… Which would be good to raise?
I at least knew HP and MP, but I wasn’t sure about the rest.
“Come to think of it, Didn’t Ranka mention something about how it was okay to increase attack power since it was suitable with all classes in the beginning…..?”
I wondered why that was the case. But since I was given some advice, I’ll just go along with it.
Let’s see, attack power, attack power……
“……Was this it?”
Starting from the top, I read all of the status descriptions until I found something that was similar to what I was looking for and invested everything into it without thinking over too much. I was reaching my limits with my drowsiness so as expected, I couldn’t afford to sort everything out in detail.
Name : Bell
Class : Magician Lv1
HP : 50
MP : 150
ATK : 55 (Creation Bonus +50)
DEF : 5
AGI : 5
INT : 15
MIND : 5
DEX : 10
“Phew, it’s finally over…… Good night……”
I confirm my character’s completion and immediately after, I parted with my consciousness.
Of course, the alarm sounded for a second time and I was forced to log out, but I was filled with a sense of accomplishment and couldn’t be woken up. Until my usual wake-up time, I slept soundly as is.
