Fake Saint Of The Year

Episode 48: Ask for a clue (first half)

"Calm down, Mr. Iwate.

If you go to the company, you'll have enough materials. "

The newcomer (me) called out to Mr. Izumi-san, who had forgotten the name of the scenario manager, to calm down.

Even if you've accidentally forgotten your name, it's true that you've been exchanging materials and sending samples of completed games to other addresses.

And the name and address of the person who plays the important role of scenario manager will not depend on memory.There must be a copy of it somewhere.

Anyway, it is unusual to memorize the names and addresses of other people who don't have a face to face, just because they have a relationship in a job that isn't.

When the newcomer pointed it out, the more Ijimon-san raised his face.

"That's true.

Certainly, the company has a copy of Fiori's turtle's real name and address.

There is also a notebook in the computer.It's okay, just look at it and you'll see. "

Human beings are forgotten creatures.

No matter how much I try to remember, anything other than what I normally use will become a drawer in my memory and I won't be able to pull it out.

So it's really important to keep notes.

No, good. Good.

I think we can meet with the scenario manager now.

Even so, it's only since Izai-san brought the materials from the company, and I'm only here once in a while, so I'm going to leave it to both the newcomer (me) and Izai-san.

I'm a little concerned about that.

By the way, it's called Fiori... that's the name of the world we live in, right?

Yes, that's the name of the scenario manager.

Fiori is the name of the world that sets the stage for "Eternal Flowers".

I can't help but feel a bad feeling there.

I don't think so.

But to overwrite the memory that was supposed to be there, that's something you can't do without being a god.

Nobody remembers the scenario of "Eternal Flowers" or the damn Virgin Ellise that everyone hates, and when it comes to Ellise, everybody thinks of me... but when I think about it, it doesn't make sense.

"It's not that strange in itself.

There are a lot of writers who name their own novels after their handles. "

"That may be true... but only this time, you can't say that, can you?

It is not so unusual for Mr. Iwate to say that the handle name is strange, and the newcomer (me) expressed a different opinion so as to rebel against it.

Nevertheless, even though we had spoken politely to each other just now, it was a shattered tone sometime.

Well, it doesn't matter.

"Mr. Iwate. Indeed, in the" Eternal Flower "setting, the world sensed the birth of a witch and created a new Virgin."

"Oh, exactly, the world senses it, and the mana that receives its will creates the Virgin.

In other words, witches and virgins are the systems of the world. "

The rookie (me) and Ikkei-san are talking about the setting that goes to the heart of the story.

Producing witches and producing saints are also like the will of the world.

This is a backward-looking story from an interview with a producer written in a strategy book, and it won't be revealed during the production... it's safe to say that the world is made by witches and virgins alike.

However, I don't know why the world makes such a thing.

It is said that the mystery will be revealed in a sequel, but the sequel has not yet appeared even after four years.

"Why would the world make such a thing... if you knew?

"... I've been asked about the settings.

Witches were originally agents of a world prepared by the world to honor the growing human race.

It was a restraint device to rule mankind forever and not cause excessive destruction.

But when the witch ran off for some reason and tried to destroy humanity, and began to destroy nature, the world limited the witch and prepared the next proxy.That is the first Virgin Alfrea to appear only by name.

But even after defeating the witch, the resentment and power dwelt in the Virgin and became the next witch.

Alexia's separating power from a part of her soul and giving it to Bernel, right?Think of it as doing it with all your power and soul.

It was explained that the world that lost its proxy would have another proxy... and then it would be repeated... "

Oh, is that the setting?

I mean, the worst part is the first witch.

If he hadn't gone mad, this wouldn't have happened.

Ha, don't bother.

"Can I have another one?Anyone who plays this game knows that the birth of the Virgin is prophesied by the Prophet... what is the Prophet in the first place?How can they predict the birth of a Virgin?

This is going through incredibly well in the making. "

The newcomer's next concern was the prophet who predicted the birth of the Virgin.

Well, I'm pretty sure they don't make any sense.

In the game, the birth of the Virgin is predicted by the Prophet, and it is explained that the great men of the country are going to pick it up, but what kind of person can predict such a thing in the first place?

But this important prophet gets thrown through interestingly when he's in the game.It doesn't even show up.

I can't really touch anything, not even the underwire.

"I... don't know.I was distracted when I asked.

Well, I thought maybe you weren't thinking about anything with just a stage device.... "

Mr. Izumi-san put his arms together and looked at him with remorse.

I'm sure you should have listened.

He turns to me and tends to speak out reluctantly.

"Um... Ellise... is that okay?

Don't you know anything about it?If I was in your world, I thought it would be strange if we knew something we didn't know.... "

"No, not even me... but I've only been told that there are people in such positions.

I just think King Aids knows something.

When I get back over there, I'll ask. "

Since Aids' old man has been cooperative with me since the last incident, he will get some information if he asks.

I still have to have connections with great people.

Well, the old Eyes would certainly have known the Prophet.

Anyway, I've seen the Virgin for four generations.

You're looking at three people, even if you exclude me, which is a fake.I don't suppose you don't know that.

"You've decided what to do next.

Me and Mr. Iwate are looking for the scenario maker Fiori.

Ellise searches over there for the Prophet.

There must be a hint somewhere to connect this world to the other side. "

I nod to the words of the newcomer, Mr. Iwate.

If you change the scenarios that are supposed to be in the other world, somehow it changes to the content of this game, and even to the perception of everyone but us.

Nobody can see what kind of reasoning this is made up of, and perhaps there is no reason that people can understand in the first place.

Still, we should get some answers.

"By the way, one thing... okay?

When I was about to finish talking, the rookie turned to me.

I wonder what it is. It's a face that still bothers me.

When he started his computer, he clicked silently to open the video site.

In the screen, "Ellise" is locked up by the King and Bernell and the others are on their way to help him.

After that, it was a raid on King's Landing... but in a game, it seems that Bernell and the others would fight the crow without entering "Ellise" into the fighter.

Actually, it's not... it's a game.

When the fight was over, "Ellise" kicked his enemies out in the event, and the crow ran into him as his last resistance.

Then Bernel took cover for "Ellise" and was fatally wounded....

... "Ellise" gave Bernel an artificial respiration.With your mouth.

No, I mean, artificial respiration is all about mouth breathing...
