Another Frontier Online

Idle talk: happy days

Lunaria Freire was looking out of her room at the base.

Outside, many players form a long line of snakes. They came to join the base of the clan "Ambrosia".

Today is the day the world ends. It is a day of farewell to reality. Why do so many people come on such a day?

After much thought, Lunaria came to a certain conclusion.

Lunaria-chan, are you awake?

While saying that, a woman came into Lunaria's room.

His name was Zenobia Baylotto. He was a member of the clan "Ambrosia" and most fond of Lunaria. As Lunaria said, I felt somehow the power of the shadows.

The Zenobian looked surprised at Lunaria.

Why are you armed?

Lunaria wore crimson armor called the Inferno Series and was equipped with the Demon Sword Arondite. I was about to defeat a monster.

"There's a lot of people out there."

"It's hard from early in the morning. But is that it?"

"The desire to defeat this clan and make a name for itself has come to this point." In that case, I'll give you the muscles to deal with. Let's intercept them all. I'm going to make this Aron Dight rusty. "

"No, no, that's not how it feels." The people outside just came to see Lunaria-chan. "

Lunaria tilted her head to the side.

"Doesn't that mean you want to fight me?" I'm going to take it a little seriously. "

"That's not true." Lunaria-chan is beautiful, so she came here to see it at first sight. "

”Hmm, but how do you know my face?”

Lunaria was also known to be antiphobic, and she was equipped with a helm that hid her face. It remained the same during the Clan War. Sometimes I take a helm, but I think it's just the clan members who are exposed.

Look, after getting super firepower magic in the fight against Blackjack, the helm broke.

"... I remembered. After Ivan and Ivan got shot together, the helm's endurance ran out and broke." I've fixed it already, but I'll ask you to pay for it next time. Isn't that right, Esha Crown? "

"Yes, but I don't think I'll remember the next time I see you, because it's over for today. In the meantime, Lunaria's face was displayed on the monitor at a subsequent award ceremony. From what I've heard, it seems that there was a lot of greeting."

“I see. I was so focused that I didn't notice.”

You were concentrating, right? There were too many people and you were in an extreme state, right?

"... I forgot about the past. I mean, are the people out there my passion?"

"I wonder if you're hot...? Well, I was just thinking about seeing Lunaria for the last time." What do you want to do? Meet? A lot of them-- "

"Fu, I can't."

Lunaria refused to do it because of her eating disorder. I can't do that if I'm an interpersonal phobic. In the first place, it took time to talk to Zenobia in front of me normally. It's impossible to run a hundred meters in three seconds to talk to strangers.

"That's right. I can't either. There are many women, but there are many men, so I can't go outside either... I'll tell Grant and Fall. Lunaria-chan can't do it."

"That's a bit dirty, so just tell me you don't have to let me out."

”Even though I'm here to see Lunaria-chan, I don't have to go out...”

"More than that, is Zenobia okay?" Can you tell Grant and the others? I'm sure I can talk to you lately. "

Zenobia was similar to Lunaria and was male phobic. Grant and Fall are called members of the same clan, but we still can't look them in the eye and talk about them, even though we spend a lot of time together.

But Zenobia laughed "Fu" with her nose. And put your right thumb up.

"There's plenty of room for voice chat."

Lunaria raised her thumb in the same way.

I know.

Later, Zenobia sends a message impossible by voice chat.

The opponent, Grant, seemed to expect the same, and the two replied that they should flee the base. Other members seemed to be connected by voice chat, and exchanged words to meet again in the next world.

The two of them stepped out of the back gate of the base and into the nearby forest.

The more the clan "Ambrosia" used to hunt, the stronger their enemies will appear. I realized that the Lunarians were gone, and even if they were to come after me, the monsters would get in the way.

Lunaria and Zenobia started hunting monsters as usual.

"I was going to slow down for the last day or so, but I think it would be better if we fought like this."

After a while of fighting, Zenobia said something like that.

"Life in battle is definitely good... but it's not real life, it's virtual reality life"

“I think life in virtual reality is the best. I couldn't imagine anything in real life. That's why I jumped at the suggestion that I could live forever in the game world. I think there are quite a few of them."

I will erase my memories in reality at the end of the day. And life is waiting for you to make it a reality. Some people showed difficulty, but in the end everyone accepted it.

"Didn't you get what you wanted?" I heard you were number one in the world in a melee game? "

"That would be amazing, but in reality, I was just locked in my room and playing games." Nourishing tubes are supplied, so if you don't have the luxury, you don't have to do anything to survive. I've been doing it for a long time, and at some point it just became the best in the world. I'm not aiming for it anymore. "

Zenobia said that and then stared at Lunaria.

"I want to ask you one last time, but what did Lunaria look like in reality?" There are quite a few people who are famous for this virtual reality, but Lunaria-chan is not famous, right? "

In order to enter this virtual reality, we need to get aboard the spaceship Aphrodite. Not only virtual reality, but also increased interaction within the spaceship has revealed that many celebrities are on board.

He was only good in certain fields, and many people hears about him for the first time, but most of them are celebrities or their families.

However, in Zenobia's memory, Lunaria is not famous or anything, nor is it a family of celebrities. I've heard of Amanda in this clan before, who looked just like her, and was a hometown, but that's all.

Lunaria was wearing a helm and couldn't see her expression. However, I can see that my mouth is upset.

"Ah, I'm sorry, was there something difficult to say?" I don't want to force you to ask-- "

It's okay. It's a mistake, so it's hard to say.

"Failure...?"

"I studied a lot and took tests, but I failed because I couldn't get good results. On the contrary, Amanda and everyone else did a good job, so it was a success."

"Um, I'm not sure...?"

"Simply put, Amanda and I are fortified people."

"... yes?"

"That said, it's not about genetic manipulation, but about regular medication that improves physical abilities and improves the speed of thinking. Since space development and planetary travel are difficult for ordinary people, there is research on creating humans who can withstand such things physically and mentally, and it feels like Amanda and I were born in that laboratory."

"Jeez, this is a joke, right?"

“Really. That's why Amanda and I are alike. Genetically, my parents are together. It's just that I'm that stupid, and Amanda's just so good. That's why surnames are different."

As for Zenobia, I can't inherit the phrase.

On the other hand, I think it's a joke, but there are parts that I think it is.

Lunaria and Amanda are strong enough not to allow others to follow them in battle. This world is superior in reality because the reflex nerves and thinking speed of reality are reflected as they are.

Aron Dight's skill, Black Swan, can go faster than the laws of physics, but it's not as fast as practicing. Rather, it leaves a sense of reality, and it becomes a limiter, which cannot be handled by ordinary people.

However, Lunaria and Amanda were able to move without it.

To be honest, it didn't seem like Lunaria was mentally strong, but Lunaria and Amanda were much younger than they seemed.

It's only speculation and imagery, but Zenobia thought that if she had lived in the laboratory since birth, it might have been like that.

"Well, um, I don't know what to say..."

Zenobia tries to say something, but it's speechless. I don't know what to say in the first place.

It's nice, isn't it?

Huh?

“Reinforcement is about humans. Heroes who appear in the game are like demon kings, and they are very dressed. Personally, I want to recommend the demon king. It's like using your unwanted power to conquer the world in vengeance."

Lunaria smiled as she said that.

No tragedy at all, seeing Lunaria just talking about her favorite game gradually diminishes her trustworthiness.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Huh? Maybe Zenobia likes a royal game where a hero defeats a demon king?" I'll tell you more about it? I'll tell you about the Devil King's charm.

"Not that, but that Lunaria-chan is a fortified person." I'm just kidding, right? "

"Really? I don't know the name of the institute, but the Zodiac Foundation is the institute."

"... what is that?"

"Huh? Don't you know? The Anther Frontier project here should also be led by the foundation there?"

"Huh...? This is a planet-sized project that took away the fence of the country, isn't it?"

“Yeah, that's why the Zodiac Foundation is leading the way by spreading the money across countries and institutions. I don't know why Amanda's here, but I heard she turned me around because I couldn't be a member of colony development or planetary travel.”

”Uuuuuuuuuuu?”

Zenobia couldn't catch up with her understanding, holding her head with both hands and shaking her head from side to side.

I did so for a while, but when I stopped, my right thumb stood up.

“I'll do what I didn't hear.”

"There is no problem because I forget it anyway. So today we'll dive to conquer the Dark Cave for the last time?"

"You can't do it alone, can you?" I don't even know how many levels there are in the first place-- "

I found it!

I heard a woman's voice blocking Zenobia's voice.

In an instant, Lunaria hides behind Zenobia. I couldn't hide the Lunaria with the little Zenobia.

Ten women in black Gothic Lolita clothes appeared in front of Lunaria and the others.

One of them greets graciously with a light grip on the hem of his skirt.

I'm Rosalier Quentiz.

"What, Rosalie? It's been a long time."

Rosalier Quentiz, leader of the clan "Black Rose".

I once fought the Lunaria clan "Ambrosia" in a clan that remained until the fourth best of the clan war. At that time, Ambrosia won, but since then Black Rose has been a fanatic of Lunaria.

As Lunaria, I recognized her as a friendly opponent. You can talk normally from Zenobia's back.

"Eh, Rosalie?" What can I do for you? Or maybe Zenobia-chan has something to do? "

It's hard for Zenobia to throw it away, but I have a request for Lunaria this time around.

Even though it was a virtual reality, Lunaria tried her best to listen to Rosalie, whose eyes were bloody and she was terrified.

Please?

“I want you to wear this dress!”

Rosalier said so and took out the black dress. A black dress with a slightly exposed object, embroidered with an image of a rose on the chest.

"The equipment that seems to have low defense is a bit... maybe you can beat me with this equipment?"

"No, I don't want to fight, I just want to dress like Lunaria!" Lunaria-sama is truly supreme! Perfectly shaped like a goddess! I can't control my desire to be a designer! ”

"Fu, praise me more."

Rosalie herself falls into the pretty category, but now her nose is rough and she can't show it to many people.

In such a situation, Zenobia claps her hands.

“I remember. I've always wondered if Rosalier Quentiz is a famous clothing digital designer.”

"Digital designer?"

"Look, in reality, just making clothes without resources costs a lot of money." It's not as much virtual reality as this, but it's people who think about the design of clothes in virtual space. He must have won the prestigious prize. "

"I didn't hide it, but it was that Rosalier." And this time, I want you to wear this dress! "

According to Rosalier, he wanted Lunaria to wear the dress he had designed while he remembered because he would lose his memory of reality at the end of the day.

From the time I fought Ambrosia, I wanted Lunaria to be my model and wear clothes. And after I was able to make the original design equipment that was rewarded as the best 4, I finally created something convincing.

And when I thought of getting them to wear them on the last day, I wasn't at the base. I asked the Ambrosian members at the base to tell me where they had gone and finally followed me here.

"I know the enthusiasm. But is it okay for me?"

Lunaria-sama is fine!

The other Black Rose members nodded to Rosalier's words. In addition, he holds clothes in his hands that he thinks he designed, and he tightly fills the space.

"It's the last time, so why don't you put it on?" I don't have any real memories, but this may be a memory and I'll remember it in the next world. "

Lunaria thought a bit about Zenobia's opinion, but shook her head vertically.

Okay, I'll put on a dress for Rosalie's face.

Lunaria said that, and the cheers rose from all sides of the Black Rose.

That is how the fashion show by Lunaria began.

If a man could enter this space, he would be called a hero.

A gathering of fairies with many beautiful-looking women. Since the clothes were almost black, it was not so much a fairy gathering as a witch cavat, but it still scattered a feminine atmosphere around to create a space that did not attract men at all.

Starting with the dress made by Rosalier, Lunaria outfitted all the black rose dresses. Furthermore, I took a pose as I was told.

Lunaria was normal at first, but she got better over time.

Nowadays, it's not so bad to live as a model.

Even more so, Zenobia begins her fashion show with a strong push from Black Rose.

After that, I was equipped with various clothes, and Lunaria became friendly with Rosalie and the others to the point where I wondered where she had gone with her intimacy.

Isn't it true that Rosalie and the others aren't skilled?

I don't think so.

Why?

“Here, we can make clothes in a way that is close to reality. As Zenobia said, in reality, it takes a lot of money to buy cloth. I don't know where that money is."

The other Black Rose members nodded to Rosalier's answer.

"It's a luxury story, but I want to design clothes using many types of cloths like hot water. That desire is fulfilled in this virtual reality, and--"

And what?

"Here! Lord Lunaria!" Because I'm here! "

"Yeah. Just calm down. I almost pulled out the arondite and was about to slash it."

"Don't worry, I'm calm." This is vegetarian. "

"Then lower the tension a bit." than the bottom of the earth. "

When I had such a conversation, the time quickly passed. In two hours the sun will set on the horizon and this world will end.

It's not bad to fight monsters, but it's not bad to have a good time like this. I thought I'd talk to you until it was time.

What hope did Lord Lunaria convey to the next world?

Rosalier asked me such a question.

When the next world comes, the memory of reality is gone, but I can fulfill my request to a certain extent instead. It was communicated to the AI that would announce it in this world.

"I asked to live happily with everyone. The reality wasn't very pleasant."

"Lunaria-sama..."

"I hope the days like today will last forever."

When Lunaria said that, Rosalie opened her eyes wide.

"I'll take care of it! I, Rosalier Quentiz, will make Lunaria happy every day!"

Huh?

"My desire is to dress up Lunaria-sama." I asked for it as a wish for the next world, so maybe we can be together in the next world! "

"With my knowledge, that's stalking..."

“Don't worry, I'll beat you up if there's a stalker!”

I thought Lunaria was right in front of me, but I thought it was better than a male stalker, so I replied vaguely.

Although not a stalker, the leader of the clan "Blackjack" who fought in the final of the Clan War occasionally comes to the base. I have not used the Residence Guard for a long time, but I am willing to accept that it is similar to that.

Lunaria felt uncomfortable as she thought about what kind of conversation she was going to spend as more time went by.

And when I turned my gaze to the one who didn't like it, there was Amanda leaning against the tree and looking at me.

As soon as I realized that, I switched my gear to the Inferno series and pulled out the Arondite. In a flash, Zenobia and the Rosary were surprised, but when they saw Amanda, they were all ready to fight.

That's funny, Lunaria.

"Amanda..."

"Are you immersed in superiority by dating people who are far inferior to you?"

"I never thought I was better than a human being. In the first place, we are human."

"It's true that the base is human." But the environment and way of life are different. I never thought I was the same. "

“That's a divergence of views. So, what can I do for you?"

"Come with me."

"Definitely not."

"Are you sure? If you stay like this, you'll lose your real memories and live?"

"I want that, so I don't have a problem."

"Do you think it's stupid to think that this place is real and live?" Rather than that, I'll let you help me. Don't you two want to rule the world? "

"I don't want to marry Amanda. If you want to do it, I'll do it with everyone."

He hated you, didn't he?

"I've never seen anyone say I like you?"

As expected, Amanda was annoyed by the words. Amanda disappeared with a smile she seemed to have room for, and groaned at Lunaria. Then I put my hand on the sword of my waist.

Amanda's sword is "Durandal". There is only one special performance, which is "not durable". No matter how many swords we fight, they won't break, and the longer we fight, the more advantageous they become.

The nervousness of instantaneous contact dominated the area.

But there was a loud voice.

”Hahaha, is it going to be a man-to-man fight until this day?”

A man with a strong face over two meters broke into the spot.

Everyone here felt like they were wearing black armor and looking like giant rocks.

Amanda released her hand from the sword's handle, perhaps because of the man's appearance.

"The excitement has been cut off... Lunaria, I'll see you in the next world." But at that time, I'll have you listen to me. "

"I don't want to die."

"This...!"

Amanda's face became angry only for a moment, but she laughed "Hun" with her nose and then turned her back and left.

Did you get in the way of something?

When the big guy with the strong face said that, Zenobia said, "Giggle!" and hid it on Lunaria's back.

And Lunaria was hiding behind Rosalier while sheltering Zenobia.

Each member of the Black Rose crew moved to hide behind someone else's back.

"Hmm. Did I scare you?" I want you to rest assured that you won't do anything with a face like this. "

When the big man said so, he heard the voice "Captain" behind him, and many people dressed in similar armor came.

Rosalier snaps at the matching black armor.

Could it be Gil Cliff from the clan Nightmare ?

"Oh, do you know?" Hmm? Were those clothes... [Black Rose]? And that's Lunaria and Zenobia of Ambrosia. It's a pleasure to meet you on your last day. ”

I also remember Lunaria and Zenobia. The one who fought with the remaining clans in the Best Eight.

That was all I had to do with it, but Lunaria could afford it. It's not someone I don't know at all. That's all, but not enough for Lunaria.

"Don't worry, I'm not scared of your face. Rather, you can be proud because you're dressed well."

Gil and the Black Rose members were surprised by Lunaria's words, but the next moment Gil laughed out loud.

"I've never been told such a thing. Thank you, Lunaria, and I will remember your words as the last memory of reality.”

"Yeah, that's right, and thank you for that. It was a little dangerous earlier, so I was saved."

"I wish I could help you with something. Let's get out of here. If there were guys like this, the last day would be ruined."

Although it is a self-abusive word, it seems to be joking, and members of Gil and Nightmare also laugh and say "Captain" or "That's terrible".

Then Lunaria stopped the gilles who were trying to leave after bowing down.

"It's okay to stay with me because I'm not comfortable with it."

Everyone except Lunaria said, "Huh?" But only Lunaria was gesturing at Gil and the others with her face.

"Nightmare and Clan fought in the war. In other words, it's like friendship has sprung up. So let's stay together until the end of the day. I hope you're okay with that.

Gil sat on the ground with a smile on his face.

"Whatever, even if there is a purpose, I will choose this one." There is no man who kicks a chic gauntlet to spend the last days with beautiful looking ladies. Hey, everybody? "

The members of the Nightmare began to sit there smiling as they nodded.

Lunaria smiled, Zenobia smiled, and Rosalie and the others were slightly dissatisfied.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have a slightly narrower line.

"Hmm. It was Lord Rosalier, wasn't it?" Do you dislike muscles? If you look at the biceps, do you think you'll know it's a good muscle? "

"If you remove your armor, I'll kill you." In general, excessive muscle design is an enemy. Why are you so rusty... "

Black Rose and Nightmare don't seem to go very well together, but they do get busy with gaggers.

Such a situation is very pleasant for Lunaria.

I never laughed at the lab. Every day the researchers make you unhappy because you can't get good results. It's been a long time since I wanted to meet anyone, but it's been so much fun since I came to this virtual reality.

Lunaria entered a busy circle, thinking that even if the world changed after losing the memory of reality, she would be happy to live these days.
