Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru

Nearly a month has passed in game time since we came to Richter, the king's capital.

We've made it to a good level and now we're strong enough to name intermediate adventurers with our chests up.

So is the level, but above all my player skills have increased.

Especially when I remember perfectly the short cancellation of the steps.

Now I can also connect to non-slash skills from short cancellation of steps.

By the time I was in Ramric, the struggling monsters are also confident that my strength now will allow me to defeat them without ever eating an attack.

Speaking of which, there are more of us.

We had an adventure together for a while after we started, but now it's a foursome party.

At first, I didn't think it was a pattern of partying, but working with them has become a lot better, and now it's normal for the four of us to fight each other.

I've also been grasping the character of the two newly-buddies, so much so that now instead of fighting habits, I can recite them without even remaining to the content of the soliloquy I talk about in my spare time.

One of them, Eddie the Heavy Warrior, is avant-garde type.

My role in the party is as a tank and an attacker.

Eddie was originally a rare Grand Sword in this "New Communicate Online," which, by its characteristics, is more suited to attack than defense.

But that often doesn't make me stand up, so I decided to force myself to consolidate my gear and take on the shield as well.

Marlin, on the other hand, is a complete rear guard type as opposed to Eddie.

With so many firepower specialist characters, unfortunately, she can't do anything but unleash attack magic from behind, and I don't expect anything else.

Her attack magic is a more powerful means of attacking than anyone else in the party, although it is very hard to be hit and weak by physical attacks and become a complete douchebag when the MP runs out.

At least thanks to her, I believe the efficiency of the level increase has more than doubled.

And one more......

Make it my first mate and I'm my favorite character in this game.

After all, being a first mate is special to everyone, and that's no exception to me, of course.

It may not be an exaggeration to say that I'm in this world because I have a girlfriend for about half of the reason.

"Fucking hemp. Can I help you?

That's how I get depressed, and she speaks to me.

Of course, she's just an NPC.

I'm not a real person, and I know AI that senses me standing silently for a certain amount of time is just letting me talk about that dialogue, but still my mind bounces.

"No, it's nothing."

I held that emotion back just to look good, and I returned the word to her.

"Shall we go then?... Thiel"

My first buddy in this game, Thiel Lentier.

I was helped a lot by her taking on the party's recovery role.

There have been plenty of occasions before that would have been wiped out without her.

For the party, and for me, I think her presence is getting bigger.

And today.

My relationship with her may be about to take one turn.

- Because today is supposed to be a day for me and Thiel to remember.

Thiel is an NPC who can be a companion in the town of Lamlick and is an apprentice at a treatment center.

HP and MP just recover from a slow rest in town, but they can't do that long when they want to go hunting again and again a day.

That's when the treatment center comes in handy.

It restores HP and MP in a short time by paying for the elements that are the currency of this world.

Thiel is an apprenticeship therapist there, and when he visits at a certain time, he treats him in place of his teacher.

Her treatment isn't particularly different from the treatment center teacher's content, but there are events in here that make her insides extrapolate.

When I visit a treatment center when I don't have the money, they just beat me out if I'm a regular teacher, but in Tiel's case, they give me something else or they just treat me without it.

I can tell when we get along, but that's when he was putting money in the treatment center with his own stomach.

It's a somewhat incredible level of kindness, like paying for someone else after they've treated him.

Mr. Thiel. Seriously, Virgin Mary.

What are you saying, they're going to wonder how you can get that far into a character made, but I don't think that's true.

The game is, after all, the guy who enjoyed it the most is the winner.

That's just the story for me that it's a lot more fun to think of NPC as a human being and play with emotions than it is to think of NPC as an NPC.

At least, because even if her consciousness and body were fake, my feelings are real that I was glad Tiel said a kind word to me.

But such a great tiel, but it doesn't seem to be such a popular character from the whole game either.

From what I've seen on the official page, in the first popular poll after the game was released, a story character like Train achieved two crowns: popularity ranking and unpopularity ranking.

Well, I went through her train event once and it almost traumatized me, but a character with just such an impact would soon be a popularity heads-up.

In the next popular poll, I'm sure you'll lose popularity all at once until about 10th or 20th.

Or if Thiel can be next in line, this is going to be difficult for boulders.

Thiel's last ranking was seventh.

This position is tough to aim for first place as the game also progresses and various characters will come out from now on.

Looking at the comments, they seem to say a lot compared to the sisters who were in church, such as Sister Marielle and her character wearing them or Degraded Marielle and her ability and breasts can't beat Marielle, but they are completely blind people to see.

Her beauty is a merciful heart that encloses everything, and most importantly, she has a personality that no other character has.

It's a shame about your aesthetic taste, you have a big personality!

Friendship seems to be set up for each character in this game, so if this goes higher, there will be more favorable words and actions, and special events will be more likely to occur.

Part of it, if the character's friendship is higher than a certain value, it tells me what I like, but Thiel likes "Demon Wand Guerrunica" more than anything else... he told me.

"Demon wand Gerunica" is a magic wand designed to condense all the pain and resentment of the world into the shape of a wand, with only one in the magician of the town of Ramric.

No matter how many designs I had, I thought buying Tiel if you wanted it wasn't a rush, but the price was 49000E and I had no money to get to this King's Capital and I couldn't get on the Magic Seal ship, I couldn't help it very much with a golden adventurer like us.

I promised to buy it when I got back to this town again, unilaterally, and we rode the carriage out of the town of Lamlic and came here to Richter, the king's capital.

Of course, for those of us who have been on track as intermediate adventurers, I wouldn't even say 49000E is a stipend, but it's never an amount we can't pay.

I'm definitely going to buy it and give it away next time I get back to Ramric, but before that I was about to go into a big fight.

(I propose to Thiel today!!

That's what called only Thiel outside.

I was going to ask Thiel to marry me.

According to the official announcement, it's more than eighty friendships that tell me what I like.

And when you have more than a hundred friendships, what a character says to respond to a player's proposal.

Yes, I mean, that's the wedding event.

Marriage events are one of this "New Communicate Online" sales, and they have specifications that can be proposed to most of the most popular key characters.

Of course, I can't make a big deal of it because this game is for all ages because I'm married, but because of this, I guess I should try to marry my favorite character, what a natural move of mind to think about.

By the way, according to the information that was officially on it, this country, gender free, is going on, man or woman, young girl or shota, old man or old man, but it would be lost, but if the other character had a marriageable flag, we could get married without any problems.

I don't feel like I'm on a gender level anymore, but conversely, I can't get married no matter how hard I try to be a character that doesn't have a marriage flag, but I already know that Thiel is a marriageable character.

I don't care if you say it doesn't matter, Eddie or Marlin, plus Train, who just came up on the subject a little while ago, seems to be a marriageable character too.

Nothing. I'm not exposing myself to having a marriage event with a character other than Thiel, but game-setting seems to have no particular problem with bigamy, so I can have a marriage event with as many people as I want.

The developer comment also says, 'For once, there's only a little something like an incest prevention event, but the basics are free. (laughs)' With anyone, marry as many people as you want and make a full harem.

You're too free to rock, I don't have to wonder.

However, there are also game-clear benefits to the wedding event, and they sometimes allow players to use some of the skills and abilities of the marriage partner.

Besides, the official website also said, "There may be skills that cannot be acquired without a proposal event."

This game can be bigamous, so a marriage event is a loss if it doesn't happen.

However, there is a back to a good story.

When it comes to this game, which is making a scene in the world with numerous bugs and events with as much malicious content as it is, that is where there is no mistake.

Especially considering the recent 'Blue Bird of Michaels' quest and the poor character of the 'Labyrinth of Sacrifice' quest, there can't be such a delicious event honestly prepared.

Where I'm at, there's a big risk at this marriage event.

To see a description of the wedding event, thanks for this event, a one-shot match, and the possibility of a 'If you fail, you will never be able to try again' event.

First, the proposal event can only be done when the player is near Monolith.

This is an absolute lie, although the instructions say 'to make a marriage vow to God'.

Because a few lines away, this is what it says.

'When you launch a proposal event, the data is automatically saved. Please note that regardless of the outcome of the event, you cannot start over'

Is it a remnant of when it was an MMO, this game only has one save area except for quick saves.

Besides, quick saves are updated when you save data, so it's basically impossible to leave a backup.

Of course, messing with the VR machine itself might work it out, but I don't use that kind of backgammon.

When that happens, the upcoming proposal event will be a real bump, one shot battle.

And I'm analogous that this game demands a save in a proposal event because 'failing will cause irrevocable things to happen that you want to reset unexpectedly'.

There are three conditions for a successful proposal event.

The first thing to do is to give you a ring system accessory and have it put on your finger.

Then, the moment you mouth the determined keyword, you move on to the confessional phase.

If you say the words of confession and the other person's friendship is more than a hundred at that time, the confession succeeds.

They're going to be able to get married.

Conversely, however, without more than a hundred friendships, the confession fails.

I'm thinking there might be a big pit there.

If it's a normal game, you can try as many times as you want, even if you fail to confess.

Possible penalties are, at best, to the extent that the confessor's friendship decreases.

But with this "New Communicate Online," it's unlikely that there's only such a lukewarm punishment.

There is simply the possibility that 'once you fail the proposal, you can't do it again', and I really don't know if it's even me on the worst assumption, but 'if you fail the proposal, that character will be out of your peers' could also be possible in this' New Communicate Online '.

This event can never fail more than that.

I asked Thiel about his favorite object about three weeks ago.

If friendship has increased at the same pace as before, it would be over a hundred already.

There are no failures, I want to believe.

While I was in the grid, I came all the way to the front of Monolith.

"What's wrong, bring me to a place like this"

Tiel says with a serene look, like a photograph of her personality as it is.

Thiel's long, dark hair soaked in the wind.

Even though it's the character of the game, I thought it was beautiful because it's the character of the game.

- So, I'm totally ready.

"I need to talk to you about something important."

Full, mouth the keyword.

However,

…

I have no noticeable reaction to Thiel.

No way, I got the wrong keyword?

I almost panicked for a moment, but soon I noticed a mistake.

I was wrong about the procedure.

I had to give him the ring first, then say the dialogue.

(Calm down, calm down. This is just a game)

Breathe well and relax body tension.

And first, I gave her the ring.

"Is this...?

"It's a gift."

I got a little excited and bought it at Wangdu's, it's the most expensive ring in that store.

Put that on her pharmacopoeia with my hand.

Actually, for this time, I was having one of her ring gears removed.

"A gift?!

Well, thank you!

"No, that's okay."

Under limited conditions, I breathe in as I return to Thiel's AI, which reacts so naturally that I am no different from humans,

"Thiel, I need to tell you something important."

Again, say the keyword to start the proposal.

Now it's time for Thiel to look up as surprised.

"Altered, what's wrong?

A gentle smile, unchanged in phase.

I finally said to that smile.

"Thiel." I like it. Me and, "Marry me."

This' like 'and' marry 'are both keywords, and all the dialogue that this comes in makes a proposal.

And then there's nothing more I can do.

Just pray and wait for her reply.

(... what do you say?

Stuck in breath, silence.

And slowly her mouth moves.

That, the reply is......

"Yes, welcome!

It was her, full smile.

Make sure of that, it lost its strength from my body all at once.

I was concerned about a lot of things, but apparently I was worried.

But not if you're coming in here.

Though the biggest mountain range has been crossed, the wedding event is half here.

We must perform the ritual of vowing to God our marriage from here on out.

"Then I'll say the words of my vows."

"Yes."

We exchange our gazes for a moment, then we face each other directly in the face and take an oath before God.

"Sora Shinigami and..."

"Thiel Lentier is..."

"" In the name of the only God, Ladystas, I swear eternal love "

Yes, it was the moment they spoke.

"Hey, what?

Three things happened at the same time.

At the edge of his sight, the message 'The game has been saved' flows, the light falls from the sky, and a voice echoes in his head.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

With a bass that sounds well, words of blessing are uttered.

Even though I can't feel hostility from the tone, there was something powerful, majestic about it that intimidated people.

Bless your wonderful love.

No way, the voice of God, or something.

Successful wedding events seem to bring in performances like this.

You're going to make a pretty elaborate performance, and I'm impressed.

"The only god to be revealed in this land, the family of the evil god Diz Astor, the demon king who calls this end!

"... Huh?

When I wondered and accidentally looked at Thiel, it was all too late.

"Let's give the bride the blessing of immortality first."

Suddenly a glimmer of thunder falls from the sky, which strikes Thiel's body.

"Thiel!"

I scream, but I can't rush over to her.

There are times when a player is unable to take action due to being in a watching mode during a specific event.

But it was the first time I had thought of it so far.

"And bless the bridegroom to pierce love forever."

Unexpectedly, I stiffened my immobile body to that word, but nothing in particular meant that something would happen.

Blessings and doings didn't work for me, the player?

But I didn't have time to think.

"Thank you. It's the blessing of a demonic king who can never untie himself!

Then the children of men! Please rejoice in my blessings and encourage me even more for the great Diz Astor!

Leaving that alone, the signs of the Demon King disappear with a high laugh.

At the same time, on the edge of the eye, the message 'I have acquired new skills' appears.

When the sky was back and I couldn't hear the laughter, my body was moving again.

"Thiel!"

From fear, I ran over to Thiel, who wouldn't move a step earlier.

I also forgot that she was an NPC, desperate to grab that body,

"Hey, this...!

I was stunned by the feeling.

...... stiff.

Cold hardness as if you even touched the glass.

"What, what, this..."

Besides, whether I pull it or slap it, it won't work.

As if time was being stopped, unresponsive.

An ominous imagination overheads me.

(Remember. What did that voice say?

Yes, indeed, 'immortality'.

A chill running through my spine.

If you don't move, and nothing changes, that would certainly be immortal.

But are you going to insist that this is a blessing?

"That's right! Nectar!"

I only got one on this previous adventure, it reminds me of the existence of a panacea.

that was in the pouch as a precaution in case, calling it,

"Move it! Move it, Thiel!

I hit Thiel, who has hardened.

Shortly after, Nectar did activate against Thiel.

Yet,

"Why, why aren't you healing!!

Thiel doesn't move as he solidifies.

A nectar that was supposed to be omnipotent didn't work.

The effect of the nectar should outweigh any therapeutic magic, therapeutic means the player has.

If it doesn't work, I don't have a hitter anymore.

"Oh, my God. This is impossible!

No matter how many events I say, this is so unreasonable...!

Screaming, I shake Thiel's body.

Her own flesh does not move.

But I could skew the place.

"Wait. I'll cure you soon."

When I hold her body, I head to church.

Even if I can't do it, maybe I can manage to be someone other than me.

The Church is a place to heal and un-curse state anomalies in the first place.

In addition to that, Father Gratia there is a shady powerful man in this game, as he is entangled in numerous events.

The detailed setting hasn't shown up yet, but I believe it's a retired meritocratic adventurer or something.

I'm sure he'll do something about it, and I'll hold Thiel and open the church door,

"You're lying..."

I was stunned by the sight.

Father Gratia remained solidified, as if preaching to the faithful.

I knew at first sight that it was the same symptom as Thiel's.

(Are you telling me that you crushed a person first who could cure this?!

I jumped out of church desperate for a confused head.

Anyway, now, anyway, we have to get Thiel to a safe place.

I knew there was nothing on the edge of my head that could harm Tiel right now, but that was actually an excuse, and I was looking for a place to escape.

"In the meantime, we need to rendezvous with everyone..."

Head to the inn so that you can drag Tiel's body, which is immobile.

"Sir?"

Upon entering the inn, the innkeeper is greeted with a suspicious voice.

It was usually a frustrating occasion, but I was relieved to see it.

In the King's Inn, people were moving properly.

(Good. I was safe in the inn)

I went to our room, whipped into a body that was about to get into the spot for less relief.

It's all right.

I can still do it.

Even Thiel hasn't decided it won't heal yet.

I'm going to rendezvous with Eddie and Marlin, work out the operation, and so...

"Eddie! Marlin! It's tough, Thiel..."

I opened the door and spoke to Eddie and Marlin, where I finally noticed something unusual.

They won't react to anything if I come into the room.

"Why? Why, not just Tiel, even Eddie and Marlin?

I don't know what that means.

I can't reason.

It should be against us that the Demon King put a curse in the name of blessing.

That's why...

(Wait, wait. He said to me, "Let's bless you to pierce love forever"...)

Pierce love forever, which means you don't cheat.

Yet it doesn't affect me.

Then who cursed you?

(No way, to all the characters you can marry, cursed, huh?

Impossible!

It's impossible to incorporate such a stingy event into a game!

Even so, my reason had already accepted that hypothesis.

Neither Eddie nor Marlin could even be described as major characters, but we knew they were marriageable characters.

And although no confirmation had been taken, Father Gratia had a presence that seemed more than just a mob character.

That guy, too, must have been one of the marriageable characters.

"Damn! Damn!"

I was running towards Monolith again, this time alone.

The purpose is not Thiel.

It's not, it's just, you know, starting over.

I see a deserted monolith.

I ran in there and at the same time screamed as much as I could.

"It's a load!

Scream and select Load Game Data from the menu screen.

Load immediately.

Moments, my vision darkens......

"Yes, welcome!

In front of me, there was Tiel's usual smile, and I breathed relief.

But not like this.

If she was holding hands, she would be stopped from time under the Demon King's curse again.

You shouldn't even have to say swear words, but I'm talking about this game with a bad bottom line.

That doesn't make me feel safe after all.

We should move Thiel out of here as soon as we can.

That's what I tried to tell Thiel.

(Thiel, now, run...)

"Then I'll say the words of my vows."

Yet what leaked out of my mouth was the opposite word.

From my mouth?

No, you're not.

This is a recording.

The words I once spoke just flow as replays.

"Yes."

But in contrast, Thiel nods happily.

I want to stop that, but my body in watching mode can't even move with a tingle.

I haven't told you anything, but the event is going on on its own.

"Sora Shinigami and..."

"Thiel Lentier is..."

"" In the name of the only God, Ladystas, I swear eternal love "

Me and Thiel's voice, and the sounding voice of the Demon King.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

Same flow from then on.

The demon king reveals his identity, Tiel solidifies, and some of the people in town can stop time the same way.

In the meantime, I was just standing there doing nothing.

It's all over,

"Ha ha..."

I finally get it.

This is the trap that was set for the 'New Communicate Online' wedding event.

Making saves beforehand is not to avoid failure penalties for marriage events either.

When the wedding event was a success, it was the worst that the developer could think of to avoid this blessing event by the Demon King.

"Ha, ha..."

Thanks to you, I've lost all the party members I've ever had a hard time with.

And you won't be able to borrow any more help from a named NPC that has a marriage event.

"... stop, do it"

Unconsciously, a twinkle leaked out of my mouth.

But I'm sure that was my heartfelt cry.

"I'm gonna stop being such a jerk!!

That's how I logged out, I immediately erased the 'New Communicate Online' data and fell asleep wearing a futon without thinking about it.

This was about a year before I entered the game world.

I'm still talking about a time when I honestly enjoyed this game when I didn't even call it 'Cat Ear Cat'.
