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

"Soma!

Happily, a woman in a maid's clothes calls my name.

The maid who seemed to guide me to reunite with Maki was my cousin Maki in disguise.

While I managed to pull that Mahiko off and gaze at the suspicions of apples and mites, for now I went for the only place in this city where I didn't have to worry about people's eyes, that is, the Knights' retreating cat-eared mansion...

"This is terrible..."

Inside the mansion we finally reached, there was a misery spreading that made us want to cover our eyes.

As a result of the battle between the Knights and the Mansion schemes, the ground was littered with objects, the paint peeled off and, besides, strange creatures and dolls that seemed to have been in the first and second floor scheming rooms were all over the lobby on the ground floor.

I guess the guys the Knights have opened up have pushed this far as the Knights retreat.

Its lobby, with its dried fountains and fountains, no longer presented itself as a playground for the charismatic ladies.

Moreover,

"Wow..."

They looked at us as soon as we entered the mansion.

This is pretty scary.

I don't know what it would be like to have Mitsuki even if they attacked me, but when I think about Kuma, I destroy them all.

"I wonder what's wrong with this..."

It was when I accidentally gave it to you.

I saw a little shadow between Mesmerizing and us that dared to stand in the way.

- It's Kuma.

As Kuma lifted her hand, the puppets that had been making noise suddenly stopped moving and began to align in the first place.

Further, as Kuma waves down, they move out in unison and begin to clean up the mansion.

"Huh? What is this...?

To our surprise, Kuma laughed at Nita and started cleaning the mansion herself.

Understanding is too sudden to keep up with developments.

Kuma is certainly a character here, but she's just one of the gimmicks in the room.

It shouldn't have been a leader here by mistake.

As I twisted my neck tightly, Mitsuki said as she bent over to devise one of her cat ears.

"Guess......

I wonder if the sequence in the mansion has reached the highest level due to the increase in the level outside. "

"Ah."

Speaking of which, Kuma had used items to knock down sticky fungi, sideways to bully cows, and water elements with Vajra's thorough skills.

Well, it's not strange to be on a level.

The question is whether the people at the mansion are able to follow high-level characters, or how smart these guys seem to communicate with each other.

"Cat Ear Cat" also had cats, birds, horses, and cat ear dogs who could speak humanities, but it was either a monster coming out at a special event or a high level unique monster that was difficult in itself to encounter, and not like it was flooded there.

How does it work to be intelligent in apparent biologically inanimate, like Kakuma stuffed animals and dolls?

I'm going to have a headache if I seriously poke around it.

"It's convenient, okay?"

I got in trouble and gave up my thoughts.

You couldn't have prepared a decent setting in 'Cat Ear Cat' anyway, and in this world that reproduces that world even more aboutly, you can't be blind to that much.

I convinced myself that way, and I decided to let Mamiki and I talk.

No matter how little disguise you haven't found out, if the princess had been out on her own for a long time, it would surely be a topic of discussion.

I would ask you to spare me from being chased by the Knights as a further princess kidnapper on this.

The discussion needed to be concluded as soon as possible.

I asked the slightly dissatisfied apples and mitzki to take their seats off and face each other alone.

I look in my face and say the word of reunion once again.

"Well, it's been a while, Maki"

"Ugh, yeah."

Because we haven't seen each other in a while, the words get less and less strange.

"Well, I'm glad you're feeling better."

"That's who you are.

I'm really relieved. "

Some kind of chatter ensues.

It wasn't just me, but apparently Maki was nervous, too.

I've never done this to a Maki opponent before, and things are going crazy.

"So you want to sort out the situation anyway?

I think we already know, but we... "

Anyway, I cut it out that way, trying to force me to go ahead with the story,

"Whoa, whoa, wait a minute."

Maki stopped me.

And for a while, uh, uh-huh, but eventually I nodded like I was ready,

"Oh, I'm sorry!

I bowed my head out loud.

I mean, I lowered it, I put it on the ground.

In a nutshell, it is a dungeon.

"Hey, man, Mashi?

Somehow, at least not the way a girl apologizes.

Neither did I. I didn't think I'd have the experience of coming all the way to another world and being grounded by girls.

With his head rubbed on the ground, Maki says.

"Really, I'm sorry, soma.

I told you to go to the game world...

But I can't believe this is happening... "

Maki apologizes so crying, but if he could have assumed this, it would be more of a dangerous person.

"Nothing, I don't think Maki's bad."

It is true that Maki created the cause of my being flown into this world.

But I don't resent Maki for that.

No one could have predicted that the gavel that slept in that warehouse would really fulfill my wish.

So......

"I'm convinced it was an accident.

… and. "

"And...?

I said to Maki, who forced me to look up and look at me with her moist eyes.

"I'm having a lot of fun in this world.

Instead, thank Maki a little bit. "

Maki heard about it for a moment, then her face creased and distorted...

"Soma, the, uh...!

Maki's hand, which I said in tears, slaps me in the chest without power.

Over and over again, a weak blow like that hit me in the chest.

"That's really stupid."

As I said, I quietly took Mayuki, who clings to hide her crying face,

"... but I'm so glad you're safe"

That's what I said and I shake my shoulder, pounding it like a daze.

I did that all the time until she stopped crying.

It took me a long time to get Maki back on her feet, who ended up crying, and after a few minutes I managed to recover by the time I could have a conversation.

"Hey, I'm sorry about something.

I'm supposed to be apologizing, but I think I put a lot of work into it. "

Maki, who laughs, finally seemed to be doing his usual thing.

Again, this loose feeling would be the flavour of Maki.

Finally, I was relieved and told Maki what had happened so far, the current situation, etc.

That I've entered a world just like Cat Ear Cat and New Communicate Online.

That I managed to reach Wang Capital using my knowledge of the game and did a lot of events.

Then also that Maki was replaced with the princess of this country in the wish of the short book, etc.

"What? So the blue girl with the hair just now, the real princess?

"Hmm? Well, I guess so"

However, I think the apple has already established one personality, as an 'apple'.

She and "Princess Shermia" are no longer someone else, and there was a movement in my mind that I wanted them to be.

"Well, there's no proof of that replacement per se, and it's not definitive..."

And when I say,

"Oh, I have the book."

Maki took the short book out of her apron dress pocket and showed it to me.

Today is the first time I've seen the real thing, but it does say 'I want to be a princess'.

"Is that real!? Then write your wish on it and we'll see you in a year..."

I stumbled out and tried to get the booklet, but Maki gave me that hand.

"Mmm. I don't think so.

Since I came to this world, I've been unable to write anything down. "

Lightly crushed my hopes.

Listening to the story, it seems that the short book after fulfilling a wish is also making it impossible to write new letters, in a state like the game-wise called 'indestructible object'.

This is such a convenient item for boulders, is it not possible to reuse it?

"But... it's a mystery that Maki came to this world in the first place.

If you just wanted to be a princess, you should have been a princess in the real world, the other world.

Why did you have to go out of your way to get flown into this world until Mayuki?

If you twist your neck to the questions that have arisen,

"Well, I guess that's a good idea.

I think it was probably easier to make a princess out of this world. "

Maki says in a white tone.

This guy, I thought you knew something, but before pursuing it, Maki says it in momentum.

"Besides, I'm glad I came to the world where I am!

I've been worried sick about you. "

After the phone call with me, Maki worried about me, and apparently came all the way to my room.

So, for the first time after seeing a room where nobody was gone and a VR machine that was disconnected just at the time the phone went out, they suspected I was really being flown into the game world.

"Ever since then, I thought I'd have to go and help you, so I was just fine."

To put it mildly, it would be rare for a human being to be thrown out into a strange world and be able to say 'just fine'.

Maki is just a little happy to know that Maki felt responsible for me.

"I mean, you say you're here to help me, but surely, when the demon raids, Maki better say to me, 'You came to help me? Didn't I say' or something?

Maki turned bright red when I pointed that out to him in the blindfold.

"Oh, that's...

Because princesses come to help... "

"Is that the problem?

That's a little incomprehensible.

"And anyway, I was so worried!

The room, it was a huge thing, and this is something that happened... "

"Ma, wait! What happened to your room?

Now I think I heard a word I can't miss asking for.

When I asked him there, Maki missed his face.

"Oh, well, you know.

... Yeah, I figured we'd stop?

If I ask, I'll probably regret it. "

"No, because I'm more and more concerned if I don't ask!

Just talk to me!

Even when I said that, Maki was still reluctant, but when I asked him even harder,

"I get it. If that's what you say..."

Lost my enthusiasm and finally spoke up.

Listen to that, I...

"You know what? Even though it's summer, it's food in the kitchen.

I thought there was something black next to the flush, so I approached it... "

"Ghaaaa!!

"If you think something happens, there's a green twisted thread from it..."

"Hi-no-no!!

"Something's going on, it sounds weird..."

"Wowwwww!!

Of course I regretted it.

What should I do?

I can't go back to that room anymore...

There's a paragraph about a monster in my room.

"... that? What the hell were we talking about?

"I was so worried about you!

Where are you going to forget that?

We're finally getting down to business.

It seems that the only thing Maki was in my room was the monster exorcism in the kitchen.

"Then, after I had lost my temper, I, too, said," How are you? ', I tried.

Look, I was wondering if there might be any of you in this game. "

"Oh, you, did you do that?

I was struck unexpectedly and listened back reflexively.

Maki, unlike me, is an outdoorsman, mechanical tone deaf in one way or another.

I bet he was the one who wouldn't go wrong with a VR game.

I would be happy if that Maki played "Cat Ear Cat" for me, but I also honestly wonder if the first VR game of my life is called "Cat Ear Cat".

You don't know my heart like that, Maki tells me it's one thing.

"Yeah. Really - it was a hell of a game.

He said the game destroys humanity, but I thought you were right. "

Speak out in a warlike manner, reminding me of something terrible.

"After all, was that, uh, difficult?

"Difficult, what a dimensional story.

That is a game of demons!!

Don't be afraid of 'cat ear cat', I didn't know Maki would even scare you.

- At this time, I still thought so.

But I will change my opinion 180 degrees in a few minutes.

"Because..."

And now the story of an unprecedented 'cat-eared cat' by a game-deaf cousin is told.
