PART 2

“Even

though it’s fabricated, the addiction is real. We hope that Knight-sama

continue as an ideal Knight-sama forever. And after wedding, we’ll love and

flirt with each other. Of course, you can expect something too, you know?”

“What

expectation!? I will pass! Please let me pass!”

This

situation… An exclusive pleasure born in a form of wedding with all members.

“Then

firstly, let’s prepare the white horse.”

“We don’t

need something like horse! Rather, I’m surprised that you’re concerned about looks.”

“Looks is

important. Why do you think that we made Knight-sama?”

“E, that….

So that Riel felt like staying in guild…huh, it’s not!? You don’t say that from

the beginning, you aim for that!?”

“””Nufufufufu”””

Shizuku,

Hime, and Ricotta, those three altogether showed eerie smiles.

Not good…. Somehow, I

felt something dangerous coming….

Originally, I’m not

into some hero-like existence who protects heroin. In addition…

“Then Riel, quickly

become Knight-sama and protect me nyan♡ As present, I’ll give you anything, okay? Nyafufufu.”

“Y-you see, at princess’ side,

there’s always be a prince or knight, isn’t it? That’s why if there’s no one at

my side, I’m not befitting to be called princess, am I? T-that’s the reason. Of

course it’s not free. The price w-will ….be…m-me..?”

“If you become my exclusive

Knight-sama, it will come with amazing benefits, you know. For example, a deep

love with indescribable depth or, a huge love enough to cover the galaxy or, a

hot love enough to melt gallium alloy or, love or love or love!”

…..Because there’s someone like

this…. My health is ruined.

There’s should be some

anxiety mixed on my expression but, I should say that this is enough. I took a deep breath and got myself together.

“Hmm, you really have

a strong desire but….now is a bit….I can’t use Knight-sama…how should I say…”

“Can’t use? What does

that mean?”

Shizuku looked here

with suspicious glance. The other two also put an expression that wanted an

explanation.

“It’s recent thing

but, when I entered the account, it’s always getting rejected so I couldn’t

login as Knight-sama. ‘This account is in maintenance’ bar also appeared so I

couldn’t proceed.”

“Yes? If you want to

lie, please put up with a better lie, okay?”

Shizuku’s suspicion is

only getting bigger.

“No no, it really

happens. I felt like I could play normally as Knight-sama after one week. I

have already tried to contact the management side but there’s no reply.”

To me, who uttered

that urgently, the girls still didn’t trust it but at least they understood.

I will say it again,

that’s not a lie you know? Really.

After being told, the

three people with troubled expression talked in whisper among themselves.

Although I say that you had already heard everything.

“What will we do nyan.

We didn’t expect that right nyan?”

“As expected, we

shouldn’t trust that girl.”

“That’s what I’ve been

saying. Undoubtedly, it’s dubious.”

I could hear their

conversation but, I didn’t have a clue to what they’re saying.

However to me, this is

a happy occasion. That’s because I could avoid being Knight-sama.

From now on, I could

still hold on to my nekama life!

As I thought, it

calmed me down the most when my relationship with those girls is like friends.

No matter what

happens, I would continue being Riel.

It’s a moment when I

hardened my resolve.

There’s a sound of the

guild house door being opened.

Of course, all the

members had realized it, and spontaneously directed their gaze to the door.

What appeared is----- a zombie.

“Guonbuonboaaaaaa!”

As zombie’s mouth

opened, a beast-like roar resounded thorough the room.

“”””Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?””””

At the moment the

zombie roared, we shouted frightened screams. It’s a loud voice even enough to

scrape off a shout.

Well, no matter how

frightened we are, we won’t exclaimed a scream to just a zombie. After all, we

got used to see the monsters in the field.

Then why?

Because the appearance

is scary. The most disgusting monster that we’ve seen until now.

The intruder is

actually a “bird”.

To be exact, only the

head is bird but the body is a human. In other words, it’s a birdman.

I didn’t know its

classification whether it’s a sparrow or a society finch. However, with that

kind of feature, the feathers on some place fell out so some of its goose-flesh

is exposed, also with its one eye fell off from its eye socket, the tongue is

sloppily hanging from the beak.

Even though it’s

grotesque, its body is that of a woman. For some reason, it wore a mermaid line

wedding dress and its pure white clothes is dirtied by bloodstains.

Extremely, in its hand

is a bloodied axe.

Because of that, it’s

no wonder that anyone would raise their voices.

However, that

zombie-like birdman unconcernedly move its leg to enter the guild house and,

“Binnabougiidedandouezunueee!!”

With an unpleasant and

incomprehensible voice from its beak. While I don’t have any idea to the thing

it’s trying to say, the floor became wet due to the blood dripped from its axe.

“Gyoee!? D-don’t come

here!!”

Hime, who is

vulnerable to grotesque things, earlier than anyone, crouched down at the

innermost wall and shook in fear.

“Unyaa!? Even if you

eat Ricotta, it’s not delicious nya! Hiiii!”

Ricotta randomly throw

things to birdman but, since she closed her eyes, nothing was spot on.

The always calm

Shizuku also showed a tense look. She also as expected trembled after seeing

this thing.

While doing so, the

birdman with its legs drenched in blood *puchipuchi* step by step came closer.

What the hell is this?

New breed monster?

Then, I need to do

something about it.

While I didn’t know

how effective cleric power is, I have to do it. Even when I said battle, my

magic power is only purification, then my only way is to directly hit it….

I wield my silver

wand. However, I felt a strange discomfort.

In the first place,

it’s systematically impossible for monster to come in guild house.

It’s constructed so

that only the guild member can enter the guild house. Which means…

I lowered down my

wand.

At the same time, the

birdman also stopped its legs.

Its bloodied hands

hold its bird head, and it comes off like a mask.

“Fu~…”

As she breathed a

quite cute pant, what appeared beneath the mask is a fluffy long hair. She’s a

girl who carried a gentle expression which is an exact opposite to the ugly

mask.

“Seems like I didn’t

properly tell you this is just a cover. Ehehe.”

“Mmashu!?”

While my eyes turned

round, she returned a beaming smile.

She is an assassin in

online, while in reality, she’s a wife-material girl.

Mashu as in

marshmallow (mashumaro).

She’s also one of the

guild member. No wonder she could easily enter the guild house.

That bird mask must be

one of those joke item equipment. As soon as it is removed, the bloody effect

on her wedding dress also faded away. That sound effect also seems because of

the mask.

Then other girls

beside her, maybe the feeling of fear still didn’t disappear, they still stuck

to walls.

Seeing those girls,

Mashu with pure eyes inclined her head to one side.

“Harara? So that bird

mask is ‘interesting’ to that extent, huh?”

“I-interesting!?

There’s no way!”

“Very disgusting

nyan!”

Finally, Hime and

Ricotta, who had relieved from fear, scolded Mashu with anger.

“Ee!? It’s… not

interesting? Rather it’s… d-disgusting? It’s strange…. I don’t think so. Even

though it’s recommended by the onii-san who opened bazaar that said “this is

absolutely interesting”….. But so it’s like that…. It’s not interesting…”

Mashu dropped down her

shoulder as to say ‘what a shame’.

I thought that perhaps

it’s a different meaning of interesting…. But still, she’s a girl who didn’t

know what a ‘doubt’ is. She honestly believed that. After all, she even bought

a full set with the axe.

“Or rather, I want to

ask you which part of that do you deem to be interesting.”

Shizuku angrily talked

while pointing her finger to the mask that Mashu hold.

“For example, this

flying hairball, with stripes or marks on its feather, won’t it be cute and

interesting?”

“…”

As expected, I still

didn’t get Shizuku’s sense so I remained silent.

“However, I’m

troubled~. If this isn’t interesting, what should I do… if it’s like this, my

friend won’t increase.”

“F-friend?”

My eyes turned round

to the sudden thing she said.

However, I know that

‘friend’ which she meant is the friend in game. Because there’s a little people

who called their friends in reality as ‘friend (furendo)’.

“Hmm you see, in elementary

school or middle school’s graduation book, there’s an interesting people

ranking, right? Mostly the people who attained first is popular and have many friends

in their class. That’s why I think being

interesting could gather people.”

To her unskilful

friend-making, my chest hurt remembering those painful past.

, incidentally I was

second place in ‘KY people best 5’. Although I was not in first place, it’s

enough to make me depressed….

(KY : Kuuki yomenai,

people who can’t read the atmosphere)

“Does Mashu want to

increase her friends? Why so suddenly…”

“Hmm, to be exact

after became friends, I want him or her to join this guild. If not, trouble

would appear in the wedding with Knight-sama.”

“Yes?”

Well, I felt unrest

after seeing that appearance in wedding dress but, I felt like I missed

something too much.

“That… I don’t know what

you mean… what is the relation between guild invitation and wedding?”

“Has Riel-chan seen ZX

official page?”

By the way, I

remembered that today was an update date in a week.

“No, today I haven’t….

What about it?”

“Now it’s on top page,

it’s an announcement about the wedding plan in cathedral. It’s introduced as “The

propriety of a special wedding between the two people who love each other”.”

“What, is that real!?”

“I have an interest in

that “Special Wedding” nya.”

Immediately, Hime and

Ricotta bit the bait.

If it’s a marriage

between ordinary players, it’s normal that they firstly must made an

appointment to the management side and reserved the church or another fancy

place.

However, cathedral is

the head of the churches that spread all over the continent, it’s originally

not opened for wedding.

Once I have visited it

because of a quest, the outer and inner side emitted a lot of majestic

atmosphere.

Maybe it’s a

respectable and inviolable atmosphere, huh? I remember that it’s not a place to

freely throw a banquet.

If an ordinary

ceremony is a place where people clamorously congratulate the couple’s

entrance, then the cathedral is a holy ceremony where a couple swear their loves

in front of God.

Girls tend to like it,

don’t they. Something like that.

“It’s the best

location for the wedding place, isn’t it.”

Shizuku also agreed

and nodded. See?

“””” “Special Wedding”

with Knight-sama kyaa“”””

The four people, even

though there’s nothing on the ceiling, they looked up in trance while muttered

something like ‘poyaya~n’.

What is this, this

situation.

While the girls were

taking a trip to an illusionary world, Mashu, who had come back to reality,

continued the conversation.

“Then, then. The

condition to hold that “Special Wedding” are [The two people that married

should be in same guild], [The guild rank should be in minimum C rank].”

From that,

I finally knew the reason Mashu want to increase the guild members.

“Guild

rank” to put it simply is decided by the count of guild members. C rank guild

is medium scale class with 30 members. In the same way, D rank is 20 members, E

rank is 10 members, and below that is F rank. Without saying, our guild rank is

F. The lowest possible guild.

Guild rank

as the ceremony condition, perhaps it’s like a gift to an active guild? I don’t

really get it but maybe close to that.

“I see,

this a grave situation, huh.”

Shizuku was

seriously considering something. Already in serious-mode.

“No no,

even you have planned that place as the ceremony place, the crucial Knight-sama

isn’t available so it’s meaningless right.”

“Well, that

will eventually work out.”

The fired

up Shizuku couldn’t be stopped anymore. Of course it’s not only her, Hime and

co. also sincerely went for that plan.

“However in

the end, the one that can marry Knight-sama is only one, right? What’re you

going to do about that?”

“Because

the ZX system doesn’t allowed polygamy, huh~.”

To Hime who

had said the most important part, Mashu answered.

Ricotta who

joined, proudly snorted with “fufu~n”.

“Then

everyone should back down, and let me marry Knight-sama nyan.”

“Haa!? What

you are saying. That’s of course will be me, you know~. Well, if you insist, I

think I will give the second seat for you if you do dogeza. Well, on the floor

that laid corrugated cardboard only however.”

“Aa!

Ricottchan and Hime-chan, it’s unfair. I think Knight-sama found me to be a

more suitable partner.”

“What

that’s mean nyan!”

Spectacularly,

a bloodbath happened…. Though I think it’s not the case for a bystander.

Because from the beginning, I stood at the hypocentre of it.

“Really, I

can’t bear to see it.”

The one who

abruptly muttered that was Shizuku. She looked at them with a scorn.

“What’s

with that? Is it fine to think that you’ve withdrawn then?”

“I didn’t

say that.”

In respond

to Shizuku who answered with serious look, Hime clicked her tongue.

Without

care, Shizuku sent her glance to Mashu.

“That

“Special Wedding”, in any case it must be limited right.”

“Yes, hmm

though I forget the limit but certainly it has limit.”

“Which

means, we better ensure the place rather than put up this messy fight. For

that, we need to quickly increase our member to 30, and aim for C rank.”

Shizuku

unusually blurted out things like a leader.

Unity! What

a guild-like line. However, since the final purpose was ‘that’, I personally

didn’t feel like doing it.

“Well,

that’s that but…. In the end, don’t we have to decide who will be Knight-sama’s

partner? When that time comes, what’ll we do?”

She gave a

serious look different from the usual Hime,

However, on

the contrary, Shizuku gave off a smirk. That’s a chuckle like anticipating the

future slightly ahead.

“Fufufu…. I

am really a genius. At the same time we aim for C rank, we will decide who had

the authority for marrying Knight-sama. To think that I’ve found this

convenient method.”

“W-what?

Stop praising yourself and tell us!”

“Invite

people.”

“Ee?”

“Inviting

people. The one who had invited the most members to this guild will be given the

authority to marry Knight-sama. This is the best method.”

Certainly

because it’s based on quantities, it was easy to understand.

But,

Shizuku was strangely confident, did she have a sure winning-way?

More

precisely, this guild where all the members had communication disorder, is

there even one person who could invite people?

30 people

were an impossible count.

This, I

could be relieved right?

“H-hee……..

It’s alright, right? Well, obviously I will get first however.”

Hime puffed

out her chest, but her face was completely twitching.

“O-shi,

Ricotta will do her best (in a monotone).”

While her

ears and tail stood up, she was full of enthusiasm but her body was slightly trembling.

It was a

bravado.

“W-what

will I do….. I’ve been told that the bird mask is disgusting.”

Mashu had

already lost her spirit.

Accordingly,

they won’t do it to that extent as the girls (including me) are weak at

socializing. Even though they said it’s a Princess Syndome, what merit will

they get?

Now I also

couldn’t use Knight-sama. Even if I could use it later, it’s impossible for me

to become prince on a white horse.

I won’t do

it, you know?

Really.

By the way,

I recalled this word “wedding”.

Before,

something close to this also happened right?

I would

explain a bit about my past.

Right, that

time was when Knight-sama is still a male player called “Hugues”. At the place

like harbour, he confessed to me, who is logged in as Riel.

“I like

you,” he said.

Following

the flow, he said something like “Let’s marry”.

As various

things happened, It’s discovered that Hugues was not exist and it’s actually a

player that controlled by all members. After that, a mail came in.

(You’re

already a past thing but, “my confession” ---------- is real, okay?)

What does

that mean?

If I

thought normally, maybe I’m just being favoured but….

No, wait.

That’s also

a part of Princess Syndrome.

Un, it must

be. It must be true.

If it’s not

like that, I’m troubled.

After all,

I only loved 2D. If something like that happened, it mattered to my life and

death.

While I

imagined those scary things, someone pushed my back.

“Hey,

what’re you pouting about? Let’s go now.”

“Uee *sfx*.”

When I

turned back, I saw Hime who was pushing my back while her face was completely

red. Without giving me time to response, two hands joined to push my back. The

right hand is Mashu while the left hand is Ricotta.

“Quickly go

to invite members.”

“Riel-tan

also help us nyan~.”

“What. are.

you. talking. about?”

Sadly, I

have to do things which would strangle myself.

“I will

absolutely not help, huh what are you doing? Sto- qjdrftgykolp!?”

I’ve been

dragged to the street as we came out from guild house. No matter how I resist,

the lightest Riel avatar can’t put up with the three girls.

As

expected, Shizuku couldn’t stand my half-crying any longer, she halted her

movement and said,

“Well, there’s

no need for you to act to that extent, right. In this match, Riel’s invitations

aren’t counted after all. You just need to slowly spectate us. Naturally

witnesses will assemble around an evil act right?”

Where did

you get those confidence? I on the contrary felt interested.

Our guild

party was heading to Central Square at “Philums Capital”.

In reality,

it’s also night time. The suitable time when the players in server were

increasing. So, the Central Square is very crowded.

On top of

the stairs in Square. Taking an extensive view on the crowds, various things could

enter one’s eyes.

The person who

opened a bazaar and walked to a player.

The person

who shouted to a quest party.

The person

who talked like an ordinary people.

The person

who run quickly to somewhere.

This jammed

atmosphere was one of the MMORPG sensation.

In the

centre of the crowded player, there's irregularly an empty space.

Apparently,

everyone had avoided from passing by that place, as deliberately they even made

a circle out of it.

Why is

that?

Well,

without thinking, I knew.

Because I

fully knew well the people who were standing in that circle.
