Game Youjo ~Yaku Atte Kougekiryoku ni Zenfuri Suru~

"The program is eroding more and more!"

* * *

You've kept me waiting. What is the situation now!? "

I entered the work room in a hurry to break down the door.

"Ah, Yamamoto-san! Good work!"

"Is it going to be better than that!?"

I looked around, and all my friends were banging on the keyboard in a hurry.

That should be it. Even now, the Dungeon Quest I'm working on is hacking.

"We're all working on it now.Honestly, so far, it seems like a step backwards. "

It's just past noon now.I didn't expect you to hack me out in the middle of the day.The opponent appears to be more confident in his arms.

But there's nothing wrong with us being on the Dungeon Quest management team.I'm not proud of it, but it's not an exaggeration to say that our program technology is outstanding.

Whether it's a hack or a virus, I'm confident I can handle it!

"Beep!? Hacker has moved!! Introducing Dungeon Quest Security!"

"What is it!? Hey, bounce it back!"

"I'm trying... no!Nothing can stop the progress!! "

That's ridiculous!? I didn't think it would be easy to break into the security I built up....

"Oh no! The hacker has started cracking!! The program is eroding!The erosion rate is 10%... 15%... 20%... and it won't stop! "

Dammit! With this, your personal information will be leaked, and all the trust and achievements you've built up will be lost...

"Hey, who's currently logged in to the game!? Did you announce emergency maintenance in the first place!?"

"We've already called, but there are still a lot of people playing!"

"* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"But using it in this situation..."

"Now is the time to stop erosion! Hurry up!"

"Copy that! AT Protect activated!!"

AT Protect. It's the most powerful defense program we've ever built with our technology and effort.

It's too powerful to affect players in the game, but stopping hackers is our top priority now.It doesn't matter what happens when you stop moving.

Players with anomalies in game data will need to repair and compensate, but the worst thing that can happen is that hackers take over the game.

"Erosion rate 50%... 55%... 60%... no! It won't stop!!"

"What is it!? Is there such a stupid thing!!"

And I can't believe it... can AT Protect stop it!? I didn't know you had this kind of technology.

Oh no... I'm going to take responsibility for this.When that happens, I'll have to hang myself...

Even though the game is on track.....

Even though it's still coming....

It's all over because of someone like a pleasant criminal who doesn't know what his purpose is!!

"Erosion rate 80% … 85% … 90%!! No, it will be taken over!!"

* giggle *... not anymore...

Tap the desk with both hands and fall into despair.I couldn't lift my face from there....

It's all over.The game we created was taken over, the data was taken away, and it took enormous money and time to take full responsibility.

I lost everything at this time.....

"Eh...? Ah, what? The erosion rate has stopped at 97%!!"

"Hey, what!? Really!?"

Face up and stare at the PC screen.

Then the progress meter, which was really close to completion, stopped.

"No, I did it. It stopped!Well done, guys! "

"No, we didn't do anything.Somehow it stopped suddenly. "

Did you stop suddenly? Maybe AT Protect worked because of the time difference...?

No, that protection has immediate effect.It is difficult to think that the effect will be shown from the middle.So what the hell happened?

"Ah, now the erosion rate is dropping sharply. 70%... 50%... 30%... completely gone!"

Hmm, what is it!? It's hard to imagine that the killer pulled his hand at the edge.

It's as if someone who isn't here pushed it back with absolute force.But who the hell could do that!?

... no, I only know one person.It was like this that day, and the PC didn't accept any of our operations and couldn't do anything like that.

There is uncertainty that no longer interferes with this game more than we do and refuses urgent maintenance.No way...?

……

"Hey, are you listening? What's going on?"

I called out to Puni, who was kind of flabbergasted.

"Nyah? Did oneechan say something?"

"No, I wonder what happened because Puni suddenly stopped moving...."

Now my eyes are twitching, but I was a little worried because I couldn't move like a real doll until now....

"Nh... something came in on its own, so I threw it out."

"......? You're kicking me out?"

"My body"

... I don't know what to do. I have no idea what Puni is talking about...

"Ah! Did you use the power of the bug again!? No, Puni-chan!I promised you I'd forbid that power! "

"Chi, no! No, I did use it, but it was really weird!Something called zowazowa came in on its own, and it was so creepy! "

I wonder. Are you telling me you're getting a cold or something?

But Puni-chan is a program, right?Do you catch a cold or something...?

So, are you okay now?

"Yeah, I pushed it back as hard as I could, I stopped coming, and I added a message."

... to whom? I don't know what you're really talking about...

"Anyway, don't use that force.I'll cry when Puni-chan's gone! I can't fix it! "

"I know... I don't want to leave oneechan either..."

It was a requirement I wasn't sure about, but Puni didn't seem to be using her power for pranks either.Speaking of which, there was another emergency maintenance announcement from the operator.

I said goodbye to Puni and fell out once.

And after the emergency maintenance, when I logged in again, for some reason, the operator sent a thank you message to Puni.

I didn't know what it was, and I couldn't hide my surprise and confusion, but Puni, the person in question, was full of chest.

In the message, it was written that I would be grateful if you could help me again in times of helpless situations.

I was a thump pump, but it seemed that Puni was relying on me, and I was a little bit happy that I gained the trust of the operator.
