Another Arcadia Online

I was rushing down the stairs right now. One incoming call into your phone.

"Misaki is not well"

A phone call from Mizuki called.

I'm worried about Misaki, and I rush to Misaki's room. Without shoes, I went into Misaki's house on my own. Mizuki is looking at this one with tears in her eyes.

"Erlu just told me that I'm not feeling well... Even though you don't get sick in the game world! What..."

"Yeah. Okay."

A2O causes you to log out as soon as you have a high fever or if your body has any abnormalities.

I don't know what you're working on. None more. Because my body is more important. Login is not recommended when you have a cold.

Because if you have a high fever, you can't even log in first. I hear Misaki didn't know and tried to log in.

"Is Misaki in the room?

"Ugh, yeah. Sleeping in bed."

Sleeping, huh?

I'm also sorry to wake you up. I found out in my friend history that I logged out as soon as I logged in, but why not?

Misaki said she was going to the convenience store and logged out. Something happened at the convenience store...?

Misaki doesn't like anything...

"Did Misaki say anything or do something when she came back?

"Huh...... No, I went silently to my room. Keeping your left wrist down...... Hmm? Left wrist?

Left wrist...... It's a scratchy hand.

Then I hear voices from the outside.

"Hey! Hiro-san! Oh, my God!

And I heard a voice that sounded familiar.

When I opened the door, there was Harada.

I see. The wounds of the past started to hurt because of this one.

"... that. It's not Hirose, it's Ip Hidden."

"What can I do for you? Harada."

He wants to play with Hirose.

It's a lie. I'm just trying to bully you again because your bullying target is here.

Harada is a scum from the roots. Misaki wasn't the only bully. Weak boys are also pushing bullies to transfer schools.

Sometimes the one who was popular with the class cried every day.

"Yes, but unfortunately Misaki isn't here. He's not back."

"It is. Well, you can text me when you get back."

You can't tell me.

I close the door and lock it. I don't even want to see that guy's face.

And Harada.

I thought I went to high school in another prefecture. You're back? It's still early for the winter break? Why did you come back?

Well. Whatever.

Didn't Misaki meet Harada at the convenience store?

"... I'll talk to Misaki."

I'm going up the stairs saying that to Mizuki. Stand in front of Misaki's room door and knock. No reply, I decided to go in on my own.

Misaki was trying to get round to bed.

"Misaki, I met with Harada."

"... yeah"

I'm not well.

"Does it hurt? Left wrist"

"Ouch."

I sit on the floor.

The carpet is also mundane and my feet don't hurt when I sit down. Well, leave that alone.

"It's okay. Because I'm here. Misaki."

……

"It doesn't hurt. It's an illusion. You must have been stressed. It really shouldn't hurt."

I'll be nice to Misaki.

Misaki is strong but weak. I am willing to try to face it. However, if I remember absolute fear, I can no longer confront it. You must be feeling terrified about Harada.

That happened. I don't think I have a choice.

"It's okay. Misaki. Don't worry."

I'll stroke Misaki's head for you.

Misaki nodded with a small voice.

"... if you're okay, let's play the game. There's gonna be depression and stuff, and let's clear it up in the game!

And I gave Misaki the headgear.

I wore the headgear I had brought once, too, and I logged in.
