"But if you're so apt, couldn't you have invited Toka from the beginning?

I got weird air, so I get my mind back on it and keep talking.

Because if Toka is a talented player, I thought it would be a strange story for Lynn to leave it alone.

"You were saying no to me about that. HEROES is a gaming team for the Eagle Masons group. Even though Sister Lin is a natural founder, she has a bad world for solidifying herself."

"I said I'd come in. Ma, it's a free light fire, and most importantly, the light fire was so rough when I asked you out."

The moment Lynn said that in a bit of fun, the light fire skipped a sharp glance at Lynn.

"... Lynn, hey, that's mutual, isn't it?

That's as low a voice as I've ever heard. Combined with the sharpness of his gaze, his expression has considerable force.

I've never seen Toka intimidate Lynn like this, and I was a little surprised.

"Hehe, I was just teasing you. If you're going to wear a cat, wear it a little more properly."

"Huh.... I had a lot going on back then, too. As I said earlier, even Sister Lynn was in the game like crazy back then."

"It was an undisputed full season. I'm better now, but I had more momentum back then."

In contrast to Toka, who leans down with a sinister face, Lynn was laughing with an open look.

Though I don't know how many years ago that refers to those days when the two of you said it.

At least that's a past that I don't really want to be touched by for Toka, and I guess it means a broken past for Lynn enough to miss.

And one more thing I somehow figured out.

That's why the two of them were rough, which is probably my fault.

Same as I used to work part-time like crazy.

The accident that day changed our relationship, for better or worse.

"Well, let's get back to it. WGCS All-Stars, this year's genre is VR Shooting."

"VR Shooting......"

Oh... well, I'm a member of the VR division of HEROES, so the genre of this tournament is naturally set to become a VR game as well.

I didn't do anything like a pro-gamer, and I totally forgot because of what I've been doing all my life as a deliverer.

"By the way, it feels close to savage."

"Savage..."

That would be the so-called one shooting air guns in the pass. They're getting obsolete because of the fewer places they can do it, but lately they've got VR savages and all that. Lynn says Savage is probably about that.

Because if Lynn does something real and savage, the mysterious powers will work and she'll definitely get hurt.

"Nana's more familiar with combat training."

"Sister Nana, you have combat experience with the military."

"I don't experience that!?

"Oh, could it have been?

Lynn, who talks about unlikely memories, is also Lynn, but Toka, who will always accept what Lynn has to say, is also Toka.

The boulder said I had never fought the army either. I've fought with military men before.

"Hmm, but well, then I guess it's for me"

You're good at shooting games. I prefer VR over anything else. Because I would be able to move a lot more intuitively than manipulating characters with a controller.

"That sort of thing. Besides us, there's another member."

"Oh, you have another one."

Sure, Lynn said it was no longer convenient for one person, but she didn't say that the three of us alone would try WGCS.

I guess there's one other thing besides the kid that Toka plays the understudy for, which means the four of us are going to be in.

"Maybe the face-to-face will be critical. He's overseas now."

"Abroad?"

"Give me the money. I'm letting you train samurai."

"Heh. You're a very motivated girl."

Going all the way overseas to train in games is not something I can do.

But the internet. Do we need to go abroad on purpose for martial arts training in a modern era where online has developed?

"Nana, there are demons in this wider world. Sometimes the weakest players in a local group who used to play qualities in the obsolete Gessen of a small city in a small country can dominate the world with overwhelming power."

"Well, it's like comics and novels again."

Kukukuku, I thought he was talking like the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings... Was that a dialogue about being hit?

Local means an environment that's probably not connected to the Internet. I guess it was an arcade-like enclosure, for example, or even a consumer would have trained offline without a network.

It's almost like a demonic world to control the world. If those people had been released into the ocean of the net, the game might have been in a different environment again.

"It's a pretty famous story in the neighborhood."

"Heh... but why did only the weakest come out?

"He had strict exit restrictions and only the weakest person could compete in the tournament."

"I see. You're suddenly back to being realistic."

There are exit restrictions, countries with no internet infrastructure in place...... I feel like a pretty dangerous country though.

Though, Lynn's sending me to train overseas, so I guess I'm making sure it's safe.

"Ma, just expect it there because strength is the only thing that seems like a handle. I think Nana can do it."

I don't think I'd be that communicative.

But she's the one who assures me that Lynn is strong.

A little further, but I was definitely looking forward to seeing you.

"I'm tired! I'm not gonna test you!

I was just getting better at talking about Kiri, and Mr. Ron is back.

Words were on the back of my back, a much more cheerful look than before I went for an examination.

"It's only been about an hour. Ron, I've been trying so hard to prepare you for my sister in the morning."

"It's a joke, joke. Whoa, it's been a while since Toka's been here either. Are you getting big again?

"Just a little more than before. Sister Ron is no different."

"I don't know what it looks like. Atashi's pretty old, too, and the contents are already dull, huh? I'm glad you're feeling better."

Brushing Pompong and Toka's head, Mr. Ron lowered his back between Lynn and Toka.

The two of us are usually good friends. In other words, no one is close to Lynn's relatives.

"What were you talking about?

"I was giving Nana a light explanation about WGCS."

"Ho. I'm not familiar with Atashi, but I've been healing her over here, and I don't know how to support her."

Mr. Ron laughs nicely and says so, carrying the sweets he seems to have brought into his mouth. Maybe he's hungry because he couldn't eat anything before the test.

Not very well-behaved, but I guess Toki doesn't blame him for that because he can't eat it for Mr. Ron at a heavy breakfast like we did.

"What are you doing today after this?

"I'm going to the grave"

Father and mother, go report me now to the two of you who never came to see me from that day on.

Because I don't have any strays or regrets, but I have a lot to talk about.

"Oh well. You want to follow me?

"Yeah, Lynn and I are gonna go together."

I declined Ron's offer because Ron doesn't seem to be feeling any better since yesterday.

You look fine and you look pale. I'm glad you care about me even in that condition, but you should rest when you rest.

That conveyed my thoughts, Mr. Ron grinned and nodded.

"Oh well. Where's Toka?

"I'm a special training for WGCS!

In response to Mr. Ron's inquiry, Toka answered with a hunched nose.

Looks like I'm totally back on track, and that look was bright.

"Atashi has to go through a lot of tests after this, and I don't think it feels like today. Aunt Toki, can you do that?

"Yeah, we're not all kids, so rest as you please. Speak up as we guide you when you go to the sounds, the incense of vegetables and the tomb."

That's what Mr. Toki said, he got me off his knees.

And as it is, she tries to walk away from the guest room.

Mr. Toki isn't just a decoration either, he's someone in a pretty good position in the eagle group.

Given that, maybe I'm about to get to work.

Did Lynn draw that on you, too, and get up to move quickly.

"All right, then me and Nana will come to the grave early..."

"... Oh! Speaking of which, I forgot to tell you."

In such a way as to jerk Lynn's nose out, Toki made a rare and loud noise as he tried to get out of the door of the room.

Unexpectedly everyone looks at you and everyone but me blues their faces.

Toki is slightly (...) smiling (...) n (...).

That's a symbol of trauma for three people other than me.

Because Mr. Toki smiles, mostly when he scolds the child.

Of course Mr. Ron, who was a dick, and I guess Lynn and Toka don't have good memories of that look either.

But it's a little different for me.

Sometimes I've never been scolded by Mr. Toki in the first place, but to me, Toki's smile is a stronger impression of another.

What I am reminded of is my memory at a very young age.

Yes, that was my memory when I protected Lynn and the dog bit me and sent me to the hospital.

"Nanaka, when I get back, it's been a long time since I've handled you. You need to remember something called struggle, right?

Whoever taught me how to break the creature had the same smile back then.
