─ ─ It's over.

I fell to the ground and Yu, the target of the murder, stood up, and the victory and defeat was obvious.

……

I stood up many times and poured everything I could into killing Yu... but only once was he my blade? I didn't get it.

Even though I was objectively not a skilled physicist and VR aptitude, he was still better at it... a little regrettable.

Unclear skills, unusually high PS (player skills), memory, and processing power are the secrets of his strength.

I am always turned around, even if I forcefully turn to attack as a resurrection.

To be honest, the skill he handles is frustrating and I can't do it.

"How are you? Satisfied?

"... satisfied?

Is that the word that I, the loser, can throw at the winner... what do you think? Are you satisfied?

If so, his character is not good, but I am not qualified to blame him ─ ─

"─ ─ It's fun to compete at all costs, isn't it?

─ ─

That's how he bends over and breathes into his words as he peers into my eyes over a broken pesto mask.

"PK is also one of the ways to enjoy it, but I think games are surprises and discoveries, and the euphoria when I win and the regret when I lose."

……

"So, I guess it's better for me as a gamer to think that killing the target isn't over... and I can't win with all my might."

Yeah, maybe... there's a passage I did enjoy PvP with this guy.

I didn't realize it myself, but for the first time I was playing this game as a way to be chased by something... I feel like I could 'play' from the bottom of my heart.

"I'm sorry I lost to you too... but next time I'll fight back with my strongest gear!

Was Koch definitely Maria's name... instead of resenting me for killing her, is she as sorry as Yu said?

I don't know why you put so much love on me when I set up the PK without my consent... but I was sure it was comfortable.

"Look, Maria says the same thing... the gamer will gladly show the winner, and the loser will grind his nails to try again with remorse. The winner is eager to try the loser again... but it's an argument."

Yu's tone is so gentle... I can't help but think of my brother who died in the lower echelons.

"We have to enjoy the game, no matter what happens, Enjoy the game."

Talking about an argument with a little bit of coolness, Yu's eyes... were taken away by her red and black (...) eyes, which were hidden in her forehair.

These two colors, the only ones I can identify, are more beautiful than any I've ever seen... than anything else.

"... red and black"

"Huh?... ah, this? I was born with this, but if it's a game, it doesn't stand out as a character, so I keep it that way."

"Cut your forehair so you can't see it in the way."

"Eh, no, it's just... without the forehair I've spent with you for 16 years, you're no longer relaxed anymore..."

Oh, I see... he's (...) the same person I was born with a problem with my eyes... so it's strange that a sense of intimacy springs up as soon as I realize it.

With such thoughts in mind, I stopped immediately before I grabbed the stretched hand with my arms raised.

"?... what's wrong?

"... didn't you say too much stink to the boulder and make me sick?

"That's not true...!

I wonder what this high chest sounds like... why my heart, which should have calmed down once, is so violent.

I wonder why my face is so hot... even though I'm wearing a mask, I'm still surrounded by skilled ice.

I can't tell why, but I can't see Yu's face... so embarrassed.

……

"Ah, eh? Friend application?"

In the meantime, I will put aside my malaise and send Yu a friend application to deceive the hand that I stopped immediately.

I was a little nervous about registering a friend because it was my first experience outside of a familiar boy.

"... may I challenge you again?"

"Of course I don't mind.... ah, don't make a mistake this time! If you're a friend, you'll see a placemark icon above your head and make sure you check it out!

"... okay."

I'm glad to see you again ─ ─ but I got a chance to revenge, so I guess there's no reason to stay here anymore.

At the very least, the next time you fight, you must study the skills Yu has developed in the previous battle so that you can cope with them.

... so you have to watch the footage of the battle many times.

"... I'm going now... I've caused you trouble"

"Ah, yeah... see you later!

"... hey, what about me?

I decided to slit my throat and respawn so as to shame the unknown.

"Am I the only one who hasn't applied for a friend?

"... because Maria lost, see?

"... gu 'n"
