Bokusatsu Majo No Purei Nikki ～ Hikikomori No Imouto Ga Zenzen Kamattekurenai Node, Geemu Ni Nagurikonde Bosu No Shikabane No Ue De Ai Wo Sakendetara Saikyou Ni Narimashita～

Not yet...

After lunch, I logged into the FFO and properly leveled up as Shizukuishi told me to, sitting on the bench in the central square of the base camp, staring at the in-game columnar clock.

There are still about 30 minutes until the designated time of Shizukuishi. But I wondered what kind of friend Shizukuishi was, so it wasn't time to go to the next level.

I let my feet hang in my restless inner mind, and I kept spinning around dreaming about the person who was coming.

"Hmm, Shizukuishi denied it... but I don't think she makes many friends..."

Unfortunately, I don't think it's such a bad evaluation, but Shizukuishi has been a bad speaker for a long time.

Wherever you go, you stick to my back, and when someone approaches you, you hide behind your back, and you dive into the futon because you're not afraid to sleep alone at night... hey, you were so cute.

Oops, my thoughts have gone sideways. Anymore, the VR gear will detect an anomaly and force you to log out.

Um, what were you thinking? Yes, I'm talking about a friend of Shizukuishi's.

So, are you friends with orchids? She seems to have a lot of gamers I don't know. "

Yeah, I don't think so. I play games with Shizukuishi, and I'm sure I have some friends in common.

Gunu, before I knew it, I knew Shizuku more and more... Geracy.

I'll definitely get stronger and I'll have to get in that circle too!!

"Yeah? What is it?"

When you think about it, it sounds like a pawn that is becoming familiar.

When I opened the message screen, a player named "Tier” sent me a friendship request.

"Ah, this is a Shizuku account!

Soon, that feeling ran out, and there was a faint smile.

I was worried because I made you a little angry at the end, but it really makes me a friend. Although in the game, I'm happy to be connected to Shizukuishi. Can I send you a message, too? Ehehe.

And with that in mind, when I opened the message to accept the application, there was a short comment.

That was too good, I'm sorry.

"Fufu, really, you're so cute, Shizukuishi."

I think what I just said was that you probably shouted at me to die. It's quite a common word, but it's a bit heavy for our sisters. That's why you're reflecting on what you said with momentum.

A simple sentence that hasn't even been converted into kanji looks like a shizukuishi that can't say what I honestly thought, and my cheeks relax because of the smile.

If anything, I feel like I can spend 30 minutes just watching the message as it is, but if I spend too much time, I'll write you a reply as soon as I feel sorry for her by now. "I don't care, cheer up," he said.

When I replied at the same time as I accepted your friend request, another message flew in a few seconds.

Did you rush this again, with a letter full of hiragana, "I'm not crazy! The text marked" "is kind of funny.

"Ahahah, Shizukushi is also cute. And another message?

When I'm thinking of writing a message and sending it, Tier sends an additional message to hold me down.

It said, "My friend will be there soon."

"Wow, that's faster than I thought. Now, no matter what kind of kid comes...."

He also hangs his legs, watches the people on the road, and looks for someone waiting for him.

In doing so, I am waiting for someone to make equipment, and my gaze is drawn naturally to the equipment everyone is wearing.

Some people wear Western-style armor, some wear helmets like samurai, others dress like princesses, others dress like ninjas.

Looking at the messy scenery as if it were a cosplay venue... I found an object in it that stood out for a while.

If you put it in one word, yes.

"... ears?

Brown walrus ears grow from behind crowds and from the shadow of cluttered shops like stalls.

Whatever it was, I glanced at it, and it seemed like they were peeking at me, and they looked at me.

"What's wrong? What can I do for you?

I noticed, so I stopped by and shouted, and the ear girl wandered her gaze to patrol for a while, and then she looked scared.

"... bell, is it right?

"Yeah, I'm Belle! Does knowing that name mean you're Tier's friend?

"Yes, I'm cocoa. I'm glad we made it."

The player, nicknamed Cocoa, strokes his chest down relieved.

It stretches out the same chocolate color of hair as the ears, and it's cute with some unconfident dripping eyes.

It looked pretty small, but my atrophied body just looked too small, and if I got up, I'd be about middle-school tall. Just as much as Shizukuishi?

…………

"Hmm? What's wrong, Cocoa?"

While I had that feeling, Cocoa looked at me a little bit surprisingly.

Cocoa opens her mouth to me tilting her neck and says, "No, that's it."

"I heard that Belle was a real high school student. I don't think it's smaller than me."

"Ahahah, did Tia tell you? I wonder if Tia would like this, so I worked hard to make it. It took me eight hours."

"Eight hours!?

With his round eyes, he said, "What are you doing, you stupid sister..." and said something like Shizukuishi. Cocoa looks stunned.

Well, that's one way to mistake ATK and INT, and I can't really deny it. Ahahah.

"But I think it's worth it, and it's turned into a really cute avatar. I don't know. From Cocoa's perspective, you think it's cute?

"Huh? Oh, yeah... isn't it cute...?

"Ehehe, thank goodness! Yeah, I think Tia would say that if Cocoa said so. Thank you."

I answered because I was asked, but I can't help but notice the flickering and the reaction of Cocoa staring at my body, and I feel a guzzle in my heart.

I don't know the age of the avatar as it looks, but it feels like I talked, and it doesn't seem that Shizukuishi and I are separated from each other, and the atmosphere is similar. If this reaction happens, Shizukuzuku will like it.

If you think about what you're doing, Cocoa rolls up in a hurry for some reason.

"More than that! Tia told me you want some equipment for the batter, right? I'll make it for you. Come on."

"Ah, yeah! Thank you!"

Take me to Cocoa and head out of the base camp.

Cocoa explained to me why monsters need to go out into the wandering field to make equipment.

"The concept of this game is to explore the untapped area, Frontier, and find your own place to live. So the biggest feature is that you can build your favorite home anywhere in the field. My home is outside."

I nodded "Hee, I see ~" to Cocoa who said that there were some limitations.

A place of peace for yourself... that means you can build a house in a secret place where no one can disturb you and form a love nest for Shizukuishi and the two of you!? What, that's great!!

"Ufu, ufufufu...!

"What are you laughing at... no, you don't have to tell me why, because I'm going to have a headache when I hear something."

Cocoa has a head on me with a smile imagining the future.

At first I thought it was a stranger, but when I talked to him, he was either surprisingly friendly or quite merciless.

Because I'm Tia and her sister? Hmm, but isn't that the only reason...?

"... what's wrong?

With that in mind, Cocoa made me suspicious.

He waves his hands in a hurry and explains "nothing".

"Somehow, I don't think I've ever met Cocoa before today. Maybe we were real acquaintances?

"Ah! I don't suppose that's true.

Hmm? I'm so upset. It's suspicious.

"Really?"

"Really, really."

* Giggle *, asking with a gaze, your eyes are slightly diverted.

Hmm, I see.

"Okay. Well then, say hello again, Cocoa."

"Uh-huh. Greetings."

Saying that with a smile, Cocoa exhales softly.

I don't know why, but it seems like I don't want to be interrogated about the real thing, so let's not think about it for a moment.

"Anyway, This game can be built anywhere you want, but that's not why the monsters aren't gone, so be careful..."

"Gah, gah!

A sand goblin with a ragged sword attacked me from the side I was talking about.

Look at that, Cocoa took out a pendant.

The crucifixion is a testament to the Monk, who is the main supporter of party members. In addition to healing, strengthening, and defending, they can also use magic with the effect of weakening enemy monsters and inflicting Condition Abnormalities.

"Bell, I'll cover you, so don't overdo it....."

"Hey haaaa!!

However, it would be a waste to let such opponents consume MP one way or the other. I stepped forward without hesitation and twisted myself with a blow of Sand Goblin's ragged sword and instantly punched myself in the face with a cane. I defeated him lightly.

"All right, whoa!

"... hey, you're a beater, right? How are you shaking your status? What's your level now?

Huh? Level 15. If I had the status, I'd be pouring it all into the ATK right now. "

In the first place, the Pom Pom level went up, but it was getting worse and worse since it was over 10. Regarding the status, I have never felt the lack of other status in particular, so I wonder if it is okay.

But what happened to it?

"... then AGI is almost at the bottom... how much it takes to fight back with a sword from the front without system correction..."

"Cocoa?

For some reason, Cocoa began to murmur with a bump in her head, worried and called out to her, but she replied that she was not sure that she was "okay, I just faced a situation that was too unrealistic." Are you sure you're okay?

"For now, this way."

After that, while being guided by the distant cocoa for some reason, he continued to move on while killing the goblin I was blocking. We arrived in the same wilderness as never before.

"Here, my home."

"Eh, nothing?

"I'll know soon enough."

When Cocoa plays with the menu and taps on any button, the noise like when we played Boss Golem earlier runs into view.

When it subsided, a small prefabricated hut was built there.

When I feel like I'm being turned into a fox and stroking my eyes, Cocoa smiles with a dull smile.

"Depending on your settings, you can choose if your home will be visible to other players. At first it was forbidden except for me, but now it's only allowed for friends."

Heh, yeah.

With that explanation, I stepped inside.

The exterior of the hut was quite run-down, but the interior seemed surprisingly well built, with gold floors, large furnaces, boxes to store items, a small two-seater table and minimal amenities.

"How do I get a home like this?

"You can get some quest rewards, but basically you'll have to pay an architectural skill player or NPC to make them. NPCs are cheaper, but there are limits to the places and interiors that can be built."

"By the way, where is this hut?

"Made from NPC. A work cabin equipped with various equipment for production jobs. Fifty thousand credits in one house."

"Fifty thousand!?

Listening to the price, I look through my menu screen.

I sold the dropped items from the monster's overtaking at the NPC Store after lunch, but I still have about 9,000 in my possession. Not enough at all.

"Wow, Shizukuishi... I didn't mean it, I wanted a house on the lake where Tia and I live together. It looks like it's going to be a long one in a hut like this."

Well, I don't know if there's a lake or anything on a continent full of wilderness in the first place.

But there seems to be a forest area, and if you look for it, it's somewhere, right? Probably.

Besides, it's better to play together now than at home. Being friends is a step forward, but if you don't become a party member and fight together, you can't live your dream love love sister life!!

"... if you want something else, I'll buy it for you..."

Did you say something?

"Nothing."

When I was having a delusion in my brain, I felt Cocoa murmuring something, but I didn't hear it very well.

Well, the person said it was nothing, and I can't help it.

"Besides, we're talking about gear! What kind of request does Bell have?

Whatever you say, Cocoa raises her voice and encourages her to sit at the table so that she can get back to talking.

Oops, I almost forgot my purpose.

"Hmm, that's right. Anyway, I want someone who can take a lot of damage!

A brief request was conveyed while I sat down on the chair, and Cocoa leaked a bitter smile as she sat in front of me.

"Thermal specialization... but magicians can only be equipped with wand categories, basically only MP and INT can be raised with wand equipment."

"Oh, is that so? But don't worry, I can convert INT to ATK with my Magic Fire skill!

"What kind of brain muscle skill is that?... but, well, then, in INT main... would it be better to use it for a long time to strike?

"Yes, please! By the way, even the armor goes up like ATK?

"Protective equipment depends on the area, but mostly it's just HP, DEF, and MIND. Magician can be equipped with cloth-based armor, so at the center of MIND....

As we bump into these questions, we think about the desired equipment according to its contents.

With very high performance, there is a limit to the level of equipment that can be equipped, so it is not possible to equip very powerful things among beginners. As a result, various proposals were put forward on what to prioritize and what to scrape, and the concept was largely consolidated.

"Okay, I think we can make this. Don't worry, I can handle the materials."

"Good. Ah, I almost forgot, how much does it cost to make all of this?

"Weapon and armor combined, 40,000 credit for the price."

"Bufuu!?

I accidentally burst into the number that popped out of Cocoa's mouth.

What, 40,000? It's almost the same as this Prefab Hut!?

"Not enough?

"Yeah, not enough at all! What should I do...."

That said, if you want to earn money, you have to hunt monsters around, right?

Uhm, I need equipment to defeat a monster, but I have to defeat a monster to get that equipment... it's so familiar.

"... that's right. There's only one thing I don't have."

"What's the plan? Tell me, tell me!

"Chi, it's close!

When asked about the taste, Cocoa turns her face red and leans back.

Oops, it's too soon, but I'm seeing Cocoa for the first time today, and I have to weigh myself a little.

If you take that distance, Cocoa looks sad for some reason.

Even though I leaned my neck on the matter, I soon found out why I had such a reaction.

"The idea is... Belle, why don't you earn it all day?

Heh?
