PART 1

*Online*

“Strange, why it’s not

going well.”

The usual beast tamer

Shizuku was folding her arms and making a complicated face.

Right now, we were at

the central square of Philums capital.

Tonight, we also went

to invite guild members for the impure motives of “Special Wedding” with

Knight-sama.

Since I’ve no reason

to help them, I just simply looked at them.

They tried to invite

using their own ideas, but they ended up in failure. We were in stalemate now.

It’s no wonder, they

surrounded the targeted players and acted like blackmailing them. It’s certain

that no one would join the guild if they did that.

I, who logged in as

Riel, half-amazedly spoke.

“Of course. It isn’t

strange to misunderstand a team like that as PK or something.”

“Why are you being so

stingy? Even though you’re just boobs alien.”

“B, boobs!? What

you’re talking about all of a sudden!”

I checked my

surroundings to know whether it’s heard or not, but as expected, it was

distinctly audible.

“What is that? What

kind of talk?”

Immediately the thief

Hime joined in.

“So Riel is the same

as Ricotta, an alien nya?”

“Well the SAGA

masterpiece, it’s like a fantasy zone right?”

(TL : It seems they

refer to SAGA space and science museum in Japan)

It seemed they

slightly went off trail, but I would not bother.

However, I wanted to

further inquire about the details of what happened after I passed out.

“It’s about the

incident this morning, but-----“

“Dowaaaaaaaa, who

cares about that thing! Now as you see, we’re doing members invitation right?.”

Saying something she

didn’t mean, she tried to cover it up. It couldn’t be helped that she couldn’t

think a way to correct her speech.

“But how are we going

to do it? After all, everyone seemed to not hear what we’re saying.”

With her maid outfit

which concealed her weapons, Mashu said that.

O? For the time being,

we managed to drag the conversation back to track.

“That, how about you

mind your manners….”

“Manners?”

Maybe my idea was too

odd, Shizuku made a scowling face.

Well, I knew that I

couldn’t be said to be a human with good manners but still.

“Fu~n, after all

something like manners is the same as a fake mask. It hides your true face with

an always smile face. By the way, the one who gets closer to you in their first

meeting with a kind smile generally is a bad person.”

“What an amazing

narrow-minded person! Not everyone is like that, you know.”

“Which means, there

are people like that, right?"

“You know, that’s a quiddity….”

“Then what? Is there a

person who approached you and said “Let’s be friends” with a well-mannered

smile, and in actuality really wants to be friend with you?”

“N,no…. seems

not….but, I’m not trying to to say that! It’ll be easy for you to make a

trigger if you do it with well-mannered attitude, right? Like that.”

“Fu~n, In a mixer

which is a trigger for making couple, there are only people who used a mask to

show their goodwill, aren’t there? Because everyone hides their true faces, they

will later regret it if their pair is actually a bad person. That rotten

tradition had better be quickly supervised.”

“Mixer…. Has Shizuku

ever gone there?”

“Of course not.”

“No, but you said that

with serious look…”

“It’s okay if it’s

with Riel or Knight-sama or Keita…”

“There are seems to be

many attendees, but aren’t there only two people! Or rather, because I don’t

have a good attitude, won’t I just get jealous? In the end.”

“….Well, that’s why

manner is not an important thing.”

“You just give up!?”

Ignoring the

inconvenience, she concluded it to be impossible.

“Moreover, we aren’t

here for finding a true friend or guild members. Frankly, it’s okay with just

head count.”

“You’re too frank!”

However, the members

agreed with Shizuku.

Aa……

In the atmosphere of

‘What should we do’,

“”””U~n…..””””

Excluding me, all the

members synchronously groaned.

Furthermore, they’d

done that terrible plan meeting and yet, in the end their invitation method was

still the same, what was the meaning of that?

Perhaps, they didn’t

have talent or sense regarding that matter.

Could you all please

stop inviting members? Really.

At the moment I was

complaining in my heart.

“Um, it’s about orc

subjugation quest in bandit fort, how about we do it together in party?”

“E?”

The one who suddenly

talked to me (Riel) was a warrior male avatar wearing a bronze armor.

As I was troubled at

how to reply, this time a voice came from my back.

“Excuse me, It’s a

party that hunt rare monsters, but we’re in shortage of healer….If it’s okay

with you, how about we form a party?”

After that, I heard

more voices.

“It’s about exploring

a labyrinth, how about we go together?”

“It’s about gathering

of metal carving material, how about we do it together?”

“It’s about sea king,

how about we fish it together?”

“Could you please let

me see through you?”

Without me knowing, I

was already surrounded by bunch of players.

Moreover, somehow all

of them is male.

The members who saw my

situation had their jaws dropped to the floor.

As time flew, they

changed into that of envy, jealousy and yearning.

“What the heck is

this….”

Shizuku knitted her

eyebrows and pouted in displeasure.

I politely decline all

of their invitations, and finally because they had dispersed, I went back

“Fu-…I panicked.”

“It’s not that!”

Hime angrily said so.

“You…. When soloing,

it’s always like that?”

“Like that you mean?”

“Uh….that, you always

get invited like just now…”

“E, un. Well,

generally.”

“”””G,

generally…..””””

All members saw me

with surprised eyes.

E? W, what?

“I’ve never got

invited like that….” (Hime)

“Impossible, although

we’re like this, we properly hand out wish-for-party marker, you know?”

(Shizuku)

“E, you don’t say that

even though Riel didn’t hand out a wish, she still got invited nya.” (Ricotta)

“S, seems like

that….really popular…” (Mashu)

I could hear their

whispering voices.

“Aa..so, you meant

that. No, this is because Cleric can use healing magic, so it is considered

useful. And also because my appearance is cute….maybe?”

The latter is only a

joke.

After I said that,

Hime opened her mouth.

“Hey, don’t say you’re

cute by yourself. Although, you’re certainly cute.”

“E, what?”

“I-it’s nothing!? I’m just saying that I am cuter.”

“Oh, okay."

After doing chit chat

like that, the quiet-until-now Shizuku suddenly hit her fist on her palm.

“We can use this.”

I had a bad

premonition.

“Here Rie-“

“I will refuse.”

“I’m still not saying

anything.”

“In any case, you

wanted to push me into their party, and asked them to join our guild.”

“Even though you’re

Riel, your intuition is sharp.”

““Even though” is

unnecessary right! Furthermore, even if our guild rank up, I don’t see any

merit for me there. I won’t do it, you know? Absolutely won’t do it.”

“Poem”

“Uh…”

My heart was almost

stopped beating at the four letters she murmured. Without saying, that was the

embarrassing poetry about Mellunchan…… I’d better die.

“I look forward to

your help.”

That’s why I was

thrown into the central square where there are many players went back and

forth.

Since it’s too risky

for merely counting on me, all members also went on their way to invite

members. After it finished, we would gather here again to accumulate the

results.

Even if they worked

together, it was unreliable. It looked like the result would be the same with a

few days ago.

I also didn’t feel to

get serious so for now, I would just do what I want.

I aimlessly walked to

the square without any objective. Perhaps Shizuku and co. planned to invite

members in a different, I couldn’t see their shadow around here.

Which meant it’s fine

if I neglect my work.

After thinking so, my

legs stepped towards a place in the square where a player was doing a

blacksmith business. My wand’s performance was getting poorer, so I was

thinking to get it fixed.

Under the eaves of

pavilion, a blacksmith-like player was aligning swords for sale. At the moment

I wanna ask him how much he could get its performance back to normal.

“You, are cute.”

Suddenly, there was a

voice calling out to me from my back.

Again huh…..Thinking

so, I turned around.

In front of me were two male avatars.

The first person was a swordsman-ish character equipping a light armor.

The latter was a sorcerer wearing a full robe with who had an unpleasant

look to my eyes.

From their equipment, they were approximately level 40. In this server,

it’s a pretty high class level.

While seeing their faces, I convinced by murmuring “Aaa”.

It was not good to assess a person by appearance, but from my long

experience as nekama, mostly people like this had an intention to hit on girls.

In actuality, from the start of conversation, as expected it’s like

that.

“Hey you, a student? High school student?”

On spur of moment, the swordsman asked that impolitely.

“Haa….Well.”

Even though it’s troublesome, since I was already hooked, I searched for

a suitable response.

Then, the swordsman’s line of sight went up to my head, where my avatar

name is.

“Hee-, so you’re Riel-chan. Riel-chan, you’re girl in real life?”

What a straight line! I could feel his decisiveness.

“Look here! I think asking someone’s gender in net game was a breach of

manners.”

“Hmm? Perhaps Riel-chan is mentally unwavering person? Well, it’s okay.

However, people who said that were generally girl in real life.”

The swordsman smirked and said that.

I didn’t have any special interests, but because somehow it’s annoying, I

also at least checked their names. Incidentally, the swordsman’s nickname is,

【Ψ Cloud Ψ】

And the sorcerer’s,

【☆MASACHI★】

Cloud huh…..How come? You’re not a yankee okay.

(TL: His name is喰羅雨怒(クラウド) which means

ruined rain but the furigana means cloud.)

Furthermore, what is “Ψ”? He’s too strange in head.

That one person left, why did he use romaji?

Which means he is Masachi(マサチ), then it’s no different

from using katakana!

Using

those sickly names, maybe they were desperate. Especially Cloud.

“Nee where do you live? How about we play in reality? If it’s in Japan,

I would go anywhere.”

“That’s a bit…”

“Then how about you go hunt with us? I know a good place. There are many

EXP points. See, we are pretty strong, so it is safe for you to hunt.”

“No, it’s fine. I’ve got something to do.”

“Something to do?”

Then he realized the existence of blacksmith from the corner of his

eyes.

“Ah, so it’s like that. I have something better. I will present it to

you, so let’s go to my guild house.”

Why did a swordsman like him collect a weapon that only useable for a

rear guard? That being said, it’s very suspicious.

The always quiet MASACHI also unnoticed had walked to my back to seal my

escape.

Since things were getting uglier,

I was thinking of escape but…

What should I do.

At the time I felt conflicted,

“Wait you all, what are you doing to my Riel!”

A familiar voice sounded from nearby. Her vivid golden hair fluttered, and

her elf ears perked up.

Yes, she’s Hime.

Apparently, she’s doing her invitation nearby.

“What, you.”

Cloud sent Hime a puzzled look.

“Can you not speak to me? Your stink odor will get onto me, you ground

beetle!”

“Gro, gro,….ground beetle!? Huh, you also speak to me.”

“Ground beetle as in ground beetle, what’s wrong with that!”

Aa, it evolved to a fight.

See…. A blue vein started to pop out from his face.

“Chi…. What a foul-mouthed person for speaking that way in their first

meeting, what is your relationship with Riel-chan?”

“Guild members. Something wrong?”

“Hee-, It’s not only that right?”

“W, what?”

“Before, you said my Riel. You don’t mean that as a guild member. I

could hear your way of saying as a desire to monopoly her like she is your

possession.”

“…Wh“

Hime’s face flushed in deep red.

“I know, you know? You, a nekama right? You’re aiming for the real life Riel-chan

right? You play dirty huh, trying to act like some hero of justice. In that

direction, we can play exceedingly better than you, okay?”

After taking a glance at the sorcerer, he winked at me.

What, don’t look here.

Hime seemed to want to say something, but she couldn’t put it into

words. It looked like she was about to cry.

“I,I…I…..”

“See, bull’s-eye. Wh,aaaaat?

“Hick…..!?”

Cloud took a peek at Hime’s expression and put a pressure to her.

Perhaps she was pressured by his hostility, her legs were trembling and making

a rattling sound.

Just as I thought, I couldn’t let it be. That being said, even if we were

to take them head on, it won’t get anywhere.

Hence, following the initial plan, I would create a gap and escape.

If I do something, we could easily shake them off with Hime’s thief

skill【Escape】

That’s why I softly grabbed Hime’s hand at their blind spot.

Hime went “H“ for a moment, but perhaps she understood my intention,

her face became red.

―― Became red.

――― Became red?

Huh, not right!

Really, my judgment was bad….

It couldn’t be helped so I winked at her and sent her a signal. However,

her face became redder like a tomato.

It’s already hopeless.

When I was about to give up, suddenly the surrounding’s atmosphere

changed greatly. The players around me also unintentionally stopped their chat.

“If there are troubles, can you let me?”

I could feel a strong intent mixed in his gentle voice.

That voice’s owner stood up between us unnoticed.

An unknown avatar with full body

covered with armor and helmet.

From that unique equipment, I immediately

knew that he was a game master. Perhaps a nearby player heard our quarrel and

reported it.

Fuu….We’re saved!

I heaved a sigh of relief.

On GM-san’s head, there is a nickname

【Noyvelt】. That’s his name.

Game-manager-on-the-management-side GM’s main job was to settle a trouble

that broke out between players.

That Noy-san faced towards Cloud

and,

“A few players in the square reported

there are people who do guild invitation forcibly. I want to have a talk with

you two, so please follow me.”

Said that.

Do guild invitation forcibly…..

I placed my hand on my chest and

somehow those words stabbed my heart.

Maybe….

That was our doing?

Not good……. While I was thinking

so, I couldn’t utter any words.

Noy-san also completely thought them

as the perpetrators.

Beside me, Hime also stared in

puzzlement like she was irrelevant to those matters. Again, that made an

additional cause to doubt them.

Certainly, Cloud and co.

“Guild invitation? No, I don’t know

such a thing! We just called out to that girl over there.”

Refuted like that. However, Noy-san

turned a deaf ear to them and confirm they were the criminals.

“Isn’t that an invitation?”

“Whaat!?”

“Fine, I’ll hear you at different

place. If you refuse, there is a possibility you will get an account suspension

penalty. Is it alright with you?”

“Urgh… I, I understand.”

“20 second later, we will forcibly

transfer. Please don’t logout within that time. In case it happens, I won’t

bear responsibility for your occurred data loss.”

“Don’t sweat the details, do it

quickly.”

Perhaps he had an idea, Cloud

complied honestly.

I wanted to say my condolences.

Probably, they were sent to an area

where was isolated from this world called a sermon room. It’s a place where

GM-san and co. surrounded a bunch of players and gave them scolding for a few

hours.

It looked like we’re saved, but I

just couldn’t get happy and felt complicated.

A brilliant white that showed

transferal wrapped them.

As it happened, Noy-san told me a

sentence.

“Then, please have a good ZX-Velt

life.”

Just before they completely disappeared,

Cloud sent a regrettable look towards Hime.

In any case, it had….ended?

After I calmed down, I turned

around towards Hime.

“Hmm, well…. I’m happy about Hime’s

interferen-“

“Hand.”

“N?”

Being told so, I realized that our

hands were still connected.

“Aa s, sorry.”

As I said that, I released her

hand.

“E!? N, no it’s not like that, I

just want it to be longer….”

“Huh?”

“N-nothing! More importantly, why you

seduced me on that timing! If you’re not in Riel’s appearance, it’ll be a

crime!”

“How you can get into that

conclusion.”

While I thought, “good grief,” I

remembered her expression earlier.

The sad expression she showed after

being told, “You, a nekama right?” by Cloud.

Maybe that was quite a shock for

her, I tried to encourage her.

“Hey, about that thing before, hmm…”

I uttered words, but it was hard to

say it. Perhaps on the contrary, it would rub salt into her wound.

Hime puzzledly looked at me with her

almond-shaped eyes.

“What?”

“Hmm, that…. Hime, after being told

“You, a n, nekama right?” I think you receive a shock….”

“Ha, that thing? It’s not like I

care.”

“E?”

“It means that right? It’s a proof

that I am more girly than most girls. Because roughly nekama is a man’s ideal

girl, which means I am more girly than actual girls. That being said, just

being seen as a nekama means that I am very girlish.”

“E, no, I-I see…..”

“Well, just see. With my overflowing

beauty, I would bring many guild members hahahaha.”

While making an unnatural loud

laughter, Hime disappeared into the crowds at the square.

It’s fine only if trouble didn’t appear

again….

After separated from Hime, I

decided to return to guild house. Somehow, I was worn out.

Going away from the square, exiting

commercial district, I entered the residential area.

I almost reached guild house. A

narrow road towards the guild house. As I was about to go there, a human shadow

unexpectedly appeared from my side.

Because I was about to collide with

it, I avoided but that person also avoided at the same direction with me. That

happened 3 times.

There was also a splendid kindness

where they allowed each other to go first, but this was a bit different.

I could only thought it as this

person deliberately made me couldn’t pass through.

Maybe, that’s what happened.

PART 2

Really…. While thinking so, that

annoying person raised her head.

However, the moment her appearance

enter my field of vision, I became stiff.

In front of me, the person who

looked up to me embarrassingly was a young girl.

A height about primary or middle

schooler. Short hair tied up to the side, on her frilly purple-pink clothes’

back, she was carrying a bag of the same color. In her hand, she hold a

strange-shaped stick.

To put it bluntly, she was an

anime-like figure. A “Magical girl”

form. But, if she was just a magical girl, I wouldn’t be this nervous.

I knew this girl.

Because I’d looked back at her

printed screenshot many times to the extent I scrutinized her face.

Yes, she was the trigger for me to

start playing ZX, also the person I admire.

“Me, Me, Me, Mellunchan?”

“Yes ☆, that’s right. I’m Mellunchan. Riel-san.”

To me who pointed at her with trembling hand, she answered me with face

full of smiles.

To me who couldn’t calm down, she bashfully pull out her tongue with

“Teehee~”.

angel! An angel had descended!

Uooo, it’s too bright that it crushed my dirty eyessss!

Medic! Mediiiiiiic!

Her name was Melluna. A charismatic player in ZX.

As to what her charisma is, she was a bettester player and because she

showed a rare game talent, she was scouted by the company.

To put it simply, she was like an exclusive idol in this game.

However, I wasn’t admiring her because of her charisma or her being

idol.

It’s because her appearance was a splitting image of my number one wife,

Totocal Konohchan.

What if your 2D wife appeared in front of you like a real existence?

There’s no way I wasn’t in ecstasy, right?

That’s the point.

It had nothing to do with the inside either it’s a girl or boy. Because

just by looking at Mellunchan, I was happy.

Right, this girl’s cuteness….

Let me say this, I wasn’t a lolicon.

Since I started to play ZX, I could only saw her from faraway, of course

I wasn’t acquainted with her. That girl was obviously waiting for me here.

But why?

“That…. There’s something?”

“Yes ☆, I’ve a favor to ask Riel-san.”

“Favor to ask?”

She, who was a ZX idol, what did she mean by needing something from me,

who was only one player among players in ZX?

As I was thinking that, she started to desperately lower her head and

apologized.

“I’m sorry it’s too sudden, are you surprised? Right, normally you will

be surprised...”

“E…No, Well I’m surprised but it’s not like I hate it, rather I’m

happy.”

“Really? Then that’s a relief. I’m happy when you said that.”

What a naïve yet honest child!

Good child, as I thought the inside was also a good child.

While I was chuckling to myself, she flusteredly cast a side glance at

me.

“Then, I’ve something to ask Riel-san. There are people here so…..”

Saying that, she turned her sight to an alley. Apparently, she wanted to

tell me the details there.

Even so, what kind of development was this?

With how things were going, it can’t be that she was going to bring me

to a deserted place mufufu…….. But it was an impossible case for my

Mellunchan. The moment we went to dark place, there’s also no way she

suddenly would change her personality and extort me right.

Anyway, something bad wouldn’t happen even if I went there. So I nodded.

Perhaps she perceived that I’d

agreed, she slowly walked towards the alley.

Looking at her cuteness, I followed

behind. She wore a cute magical girl equipment, but her job was that of a

necromancer. Because I was one of Melluna fans, I knew it.

Fluffily floating on side of her

head, there was an ornament (A skull clad in pale flame) or, a stick given a

skull design. From those, I could get that feeling.

Talking about necromancer, it was a

high-class job that could be gotten after class-change, so her level should be

pretty high.

As we arrived at a blind alley in

the gap between buildings, Mellunchan stopped her legs and turned back to me.

“I’ll directly say it.”

“E? A, yes.”

Since she abruptly said the main

purpose, I hadn’t prepared myself for it.

I just knew that her

transparent-like white face suddenly flared up and became red.

And the words that came out from

her small lips were,

“Please become a virtujuu

together with me!!”

“Ha? Vi…virtua??”

I didn’t know what you’re saying!

Virtujuu.

She said that with determination.

“Hmm….Virtujuu, contrary to

riajuu, it’s a perfection in virtual right?”

To my words, her expression

brighten up.

“Yes, that’s right☆, If it’s Riel-san, I

know you’ll immediately understand.”

“Is that a praise….”

“Isn’t it? You understand virtujuu more than anyone. And hate reality

more than anyone.”

“….E?”

For some reason, my heart throbbed for a moment?

Certainly, I wasn’t too fond of

reality. Because of my body, I couldn’t do any contact with girls.

Recently,

many KY people approached me, so the frequency of me being almost dead had

risen up than before.

Originally, I sought for my place

in virtual words because I hated that kind of reality.

Then, she was going to become a

virtual-juu in a virtual world?

“Why do you know that I hate

reality?”

“I can see it with my eyes.

Generally, you always make a dead-fish-like eyes.”

“…..”

“AAAAA, It’s not like that! It

doesn’t have any deeper meaning…..”

“You don’t need to follow up…”

“I, it’s okay! Because I too will

die someday! S, see, please look at me. My eyes is the same as Riel-san’s,

right?”

I peered into her lovely round

eyes.

Really beautiful eyes.

“A, anyway I and Riel-san are the

same! I’m also disappointed at reality!”

“E? Mellunchan also? I’m a bit

surprised.”

“That’s right. I really hate

reality, I’m disappointed to the point it’s better for reality to disappear.

So, I thought that I want to receive cooperation from Riel who adopted the same

thinking and I come to meet you here. I think that Riel-san will surely

understand.”

“Cooperation?”

“Yes, this.”

Saying that, she hand me over an

item.

“Key?”

I thoroughly inspect the item that

I’d received.

A pretty heavy one. Gold-colored

without any visible decorations, and one part had a heart-shaped ornament on

it.

However it’s just that, just a key.

“Is this a key to something like a

rare treasure chest?”

“No, that is 【Daybreak key】”

“Daybreak key? I’ve never heard of

it.”

“Yes, it’s an item that wasn’t

opened up to public.”

“That means…”

“It exists in ZX program, but it

wasn’t in a place where a player could reach. It feels like an unused phantom

item.”

“Why do you have that?”

“E!? No, that is uhmm…Look, If I become

like an idol, I can be good friends with the developer, I hear rumor like

that….Then, maybe it’s a bug, or something like that, I happen to find it by

chance in adventure…”

It’s a strange and shady reason, but

just by the fact the actual thing was here, it’s the truth.

“Actually, there exist a pair for

this thing called 【Period ・Lock】, and

if we matched them, we can become virtujuu.”

“Yes??”

“We can become virtujuu!”

“…..”

What….. I thought than Mellunchan

was reasonable and different from my guild members, but maybe it’s my

imagination…

Aa, perhaps it’s that!

When you wrote “人”3 times on your palm, you wouldn’t get nervous. It’s a

tale about if you confessed under the tree, you would become a happy couple

forever, that kind of uncanny thing.

Then, I could agree with the pure-hearted Melluna’s action (My setting).

“Hence, I want us to work together to find that Period ・Lock.”

“Find it huh…. We don’t even know whether that lock or whatever properly

exist, right?”

“Don’t worry. It’s absolutely exist. I have that much of conviction.”

“No, even if you say that…”

“I’ll leave that key to Riel-san. Giving that important item, please

think of it as a proof of my trust in Riel-san.”

“N, no I still haven’t agreed….”

“Let’s become virtujuu together?”

She wrapped my hand that hold the key with her hands. I could feel her

warmth transmitted to my hand, and she stared at me with serious look.

Definitely not an atmosphere where I could refuse.

Regardless to what a phantom item is, it didn’t feel bad to lend my hand

for her pure thinking.

Rather, I’m delighted.

Because I could make an excuse to meet her again (wicked).

Perhaps driven by her earnestness, although she hold my hand like this, I

didn’t feel any shred of impurity. Of course, my FTDS also hadn’t reacted.

This――――

If it’s with Mellunchan, maybe I really could become a virtujuu!?

“I understand. I will help.”

“Really!? Thank you very much☆.”

Her grip became stronger, and swayed in joy.

“But is it okay to give me this? It’s important right?”

“No, please hold onto it, Riel-san. Because other than our primary

objective, you could get various benefits. Rather than that, it’s very suitable

for the -“Knight-sama” you to hold it――――.”

“E….”

Now, what did she say?

K, Knight-sama??

I was dumbfounded at the words that she should’ve not uttered.

A truth that only the guild members know,

That I am the Knight-sama,

Why did she know it??

“Why do you know…”

At the time I said that.

“AAAAAAAaaaaaa!?”

Looking at here from the street, there was a person raising her voice.

Her gold hair was in a frizz and her cat ears stood upright. She pointed

at us with a trembling hand.

She’s Ricotta.

Who appeared behind her were the usual faces, my fellow guild members.

They also discovered my and Mellunchan’s figure and frowned.

Well if you found two people looking at each other and holding hands in

place like this, it’s ordinary to be curious to what happened between them…..

“In that dark place, what’re you two doing nya!”

Ricotta approached here first. After that, Shizuku, Hime, Mashu followed

behind.

Mellunchan suddenly panicked and,

“Then, I’ll contact you again. And please make this matter a secret

between the two of us☆.”

Leaving those words, she sent a small wink to me.

She passed Ricotta and co. like she was running away, and ran down to

the street.

Entering the alley like taking over the place, without me knowing, they

already surrounded me――――

Hime with strict eyes,

“What’re you doing with that girl.”

And said that. While squirming, Mashu.

“I think it’s improper to be alone with a girl in this kind of place.”

And said that. Shizuku with serious face,

“What things are you talking about?”

And asked that.

That why I couldn’t help running my mouth and almost said, “A talk about

becoming a virtujuu….”, but remembering that wink, I stopped those words on

my throat.

“Anyhow, it must be a nonsense.” (Shizuku)

“Yes, it’s seems something like she would do.” (Hime)

“Really, we can’t be careless nya.” (Ricotta)

“Still, I think it’s improper!” (Mashu)

The four people seemed to be in agreement…..but all of their speech

indicated that they know Mellunchan.

Certainly, because she’s charismatic and an idol, it’s common for

everyone who played ZX to know her.

However, from their speech and conduct, it heard like they had a close

relationship with her.

I tried asking the nearby Shizuku.

“Nee, are you all Mellunchan’s acquaintance?”

“Ha? There’s no way (in monotone).”

“Aren’t you shaking!”

“Ugh….”

Unusually, Shizuku was hemming and hawing.

Then, Shizuku watch over the other guild members.

It felt like she got their consents about what she would say from now

on.

Shizuku faced me back,

“In reality…..Knight-sama is a character that we received from Melluna.”

“Ha?”

“I said, Knight-sama is a character that we received from Melluna.

However, we just exchanged Knight-sama with Melluna, I don’t know more than

that. By the way, Knight-sama is an avatar that we raised, but from the time we

received it, the level is at its counter stop (maximum value).”

“Yessss!? Wh, what do you mean??”

I was bewildered. From the side, Hime explained.

“As we are troubled about Riel when we planned to open our first offline

meeting, just exactly she appeared and gave us Knight-sama. Well, at that time,

we are very suspicious of her. However, we couldn’t come up with other method,

so we just accepted it.”

I see, so that’s why Mellunchan knew that I was the current

Knight-sama

But, what is she thinking when doing that??

“Well, to us, as long as Riel can login as Knight-sama, we don’t really

care about such things.”

“That’s the problem!?”

“Ricotta think that it was Melluna’s doing that Riel recently can’t

login as Knight-sama. Shizuku, what’s your thought?”

“Umu, it seems necessary to intensely ask about it when we meet next

time.”

“Ufufu, that’s right-. Intensely ♪

Intensely ♪.”

Hold on, Mashu-san was scary.

As I was creeped out, Shizuku asked me.

“Then, why is Riel in this kind of place? What happens to the invitation?”

“Ee”

“In any case, you must be thinking even if you neglect your work a bit, we

won’t know right. It seems the time has come for that embarrassing poem diary

to be read in front of the person herself (Melluna).”

“Buho!? I, it’s bad! It’s extremely bad wwwww.”

“Fufu, if you don’t want that, you have to brought your cute lips to my

ear and recite “Shizuku-chan, I want to eat you up♡” 10 times.”

“Hold, hold on!? Taking advantage of the mess, what’re you saying! Then,

I’ll also read that poem in public chat.”

“Why it becomes like thatttt!!”

Following Shizuku, even Hime became a strange one!

But when I thought about it properly, then this was unjustified.

“Hey…. From a while ago, you only blame me, but everyone comes back

really fast, don’t you? How about your invitations result?”

“…..”

“…..”

“…..”

“…..”

“Haa, I see.”

I glared at the silent members.

Well, so it’s like that.

For some reason, it had been a long time since I hold the initiative to

talk.

At the time I was immersed in sense of superiority.

Something is reflected on my eyes beyond the girls’ body.

At the street on the alley’s entrance.

Hiding half of her body on the building’s shadow, there was a girl

staring here with a smile.

Bun-styled pink hair with a beginner equipment. And felt a bit nervous.

I had a remembrance of her.

Etto I was certain, she’s Mario (lol)?

The girl that lacked control and wreaked havoc on the bazaar’s goods.

Anyway, that lol wasn’t needed so I would omit it.

What was she doing in this place?

That being said, it’s obvious that she watched us, right? That one.

“What happens?”

Noticing my line of sight, Mashu inquired.

“No, recently there is a girl who looks at everyone from faraway….Now

also there…”

When I pointed and told them the place, the figure of Mario had gone.

Where did she go? I tried to look around and,

I found a figure, while smiling, she collided her head with the wall of

a house in the direction of street and writhed with pain. While in agony, she

disappeared to somewhere.

What the heck was she doing….

Of course, everyone was,

“Ee where, where?”

And be like,

“There isn’t anyone, is there?”

“There isn’t anyone.”

“There isn’t anyone nya.”

“There isn’t anyone ne-.”

“….”

Thus, since it was also already late at night, we dispersed.
