Golden Experience

Episode 52: Looks like we found a dummy.

What shouldn't have been done? I'm finding out fast. Is this player like Wayne better or sharper than Rae assumes? Or is Rae dumber than I assumed? I don't want to think about it.

"That said, the game login is EEG authentication. I can never replace it. If it's just fingerprint or iris authentication, as it was a long time ago, well, it doesn't matter."

And the avatar definitely belongs to Kelly, whom Wayne met last time. I mean, what Wayne is seeing right now is Wayne's knowledgeable rare - that is, Kelly's body - and at the same time the authentic player's name [rare]. It can be described as the highest purity rare in Wayne history.

"Is that what you want to hear, by the way? So that's it, then?

"Wait, I'm not finished with my current question!

Oh, you're still going on, Rae thought. What drives him that far?

"Okay. Then I'll ask you. How did you know I wasn't rare?"

"First of all...... that's the way to talk. Rae focused on roleplay and talked in a way that looked, somehow, like a female mercenary."

Speaking of which, Kelly was speaking in a slightly sour tone before she learned to salute him. I feel like I was talking to Wayne like that when I met him. This is honestly Rae's mistake.

"Oh, well, even more so now. Forgive me there. This is good, right?

Somehow change it to that tone. Kelly hasn't remembered the details lately because of much respect anymore.

"Then it's the way you walk in the woods. When I came forward, you followed me... and it was like you were surprised, but what a stab you went in front of me today. It's certainly been about two weeks since then, but I don't see how much of a game you can call it, but I don't think you'll be walking that well in the woods in just two weeks"

Exactly. Now Rae walked in the woods to mimic the way Kelly would otherwise walk.

Rae was originally able to do that too because he was used to walking in the woods in another VR game, but surely there's no way such skills can be acquired overnight.

Last time, Kelly had followed Wayne with a moth. Stressed weak pretenses were probably places like this as well as fights. This is also Rare's mistake.

"Another thing about login authentication I just did, but it felt like we talked about it before, and Rae got the impression that it wasn't too bright on hardware or software. It's unnatural for the rare of that image to deliberately explain biometrics a long time ago."

Naturally, there's no way Kelly, an NPC resident of this world, knows anything about the VR system. I made an extra story out of it, but that became Ada. This is also Rare's mistake. Oh, my God. The dumb spot was rare.

"Are you... aren't you the friend Rae used to talk about in her friend chat sometimes then? And the rare I know isn't actually the player name [rare]. I didn't sign up for friends with Rae, so if she named herself Rae, I don't have a real name."

Rae was definitely dumb, but I'm also sure Wayne is sharp. I never thought I'd be deduced at pinpoint so far.

Excellent. I didn't expect you to feel like a mystery killer in this game.

Nevertheless, it is this game that "can do almost anything". It would also be possible to knit out a complete crime trick, etc. that also exchanged magic, skills, etc. and give it a try. I'll put it on my brain TODO list to think about it when I have time.

"I see...... I mean, your conclusion is that there are two players with exactly the same appearance, one of them being me and the other being the rare you met, is that what you mean?

insignificant and emphasize that we are both players. If you try to make it rare, it's fine if you don't even brighten up the fact that Rae's own appearance is actually completely different and that NPC can use features such as inventory and friend chat.

If Rae's appearance turns out to be different, it inevitably leads to how she was manipulating Kelly's body, threatening to know the skills she wants to keep secret.

"Again, is it..."

It seems Rae's words now sound confessed, and Wayne is nagging.

"Why did you do that, well, there's no particular reason..."

The reason is that Rae didn't want to go out into the city, so I can't tell you because talking about this leads to Rae actually looking different.

"I mean the Beauty Bureau, well, I mean, I wanted to hunt off players who were alarmed. NPC is over once you hunt, but players can hunt as many times as they want, including that discernment?

Even though I looked like this, I was a closed tester, but by then I had pretended to be an NPC and killed some dumb players I caught... "

"... what? In a closed test...... pretended to be NPC and PK......? That sort of thing. Now you are."

"That's right. That was a masterpiece. I've done it a few times, but if I do it in the same city, I'll get my feet on it. Stop right now, another..."

"That's when! I'm the dumb player who got hunted!

Rae was surprised when Wayne suddenly shouted.

But I see, I thought. Though his appearance has changed completely, the favorites Kelly was brewing when he was playing Rare do have something that goes by the dusk of that time. Even so, I don't know exactly which of the victims. Somehow I just feel that way in my image.

"You were! That's fateful! It was a laugh at what a dumb player he was then, but isn't it a tremendous growth to spot and hunt me down like this! I'm kind of glad."

"Guru... you...!

"Oh, you don't mind pulling out your sword. This one was meant to be."

"Oh, you said the Beauty Bureau or something......! Then why don't you do it yourself!? If it's the same face, how could Rae... have gotten her involved!

Because it's not really the same face, and the beauty bureau is demanding in the first place, but I can't say that.

"I know, but I'm not good at that. I was wondering if she could do that because the roots are honest. But it seems pretty stressful, and I'm not gonna let you do it anymore."

"Though you must be the one under stress!

─ No, it's Wayne, either way.

But I can't help saying this either. Let's just publicize it one last time and ask Wayne to leave temporarily.

"I am now based in this forest. I'm going to keep thinking about the means, but I'm going to keep doing PK. I want you to be the number one."

"Oh no! Think I'm allowed to..."

"If you're not forgiven, what are you gonna do? Are we all going to form a detachment party to kill me? That would be good, too. If you get killed over and over again, one day you'll be weakened to such an extent that you can't beat any other player."

Saying, Rae turns her hand to the sky. Then Ichiro Kenzaki, who was waiting in advance over the sky, descends into its hands.

"The sword..."

"Well, goodbye for now. I'm waiting for your challenge."

Wayne approached him in 'shrinkage' at a rate he couldn't react to and jumped his neck in 'slash'.
