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

- Something discovered that I was being misunderstood.

I thought Mitsuki understood my operation and explained it to everyone, but there was an impossible transmission error.

Actually, Mitsuki called my operation, "Gather your gear during the seal and direct the demon shards there to stop. He mistakenly thought it was a plan to consolidate the formation at the entrance to that gap and defeat the evil gods with the power of adventurers and knights'.

No, that's true. While we only talked about "gather your gear between seals" and "we need to buy some time," Mitsuki ran away saying, "I understand the operation," so we didn't really see if it got through.

I was a little uncomfortable with the guesswork, but I said, "Wow! This is your heart!" I didn't really care what the wind thought.

But I didn't know it was passed on that way by mistake.

I'm not saying there was no room for misunderstanding at all, but I can't believe I came up with such a plan from there, the boulder is Battle Junkie.

I'm a root militant.

If I were normal, all I could think of was collecting gear to grow mucus bacteria and feed the evil gods.

The boulder shark family humans have a different idea than a regular person.

That means everyone else who heard Mitsuki's explanation would have misunderstood my plan.

I mean, it seems that the people gathered here were going to deal with the shards of the Evil God themselves.

I seriously asked him what to do if evil gods came out of reason, and I thought he was oddly nervous.

A little, I'll imagine.

I thought an evil god would come out of the basement, but if the yellow slime came out instead...

Yeah, honestly, hey, you'd be surprised.

Then, thanks to the solution of the misunderstanding, there was also a further point of convergence that the apple was angry.

If you look at it from the apple, I can tell everyone that I did something with the sticky fungus in confidence, and I can also take it in the wind that I put myself at risk without consulting again to repel the sticky fungus.

For some reason, as an apple more sensitive to my dangers than mine, I guess that was something I couldn't throw away.

No, they all ask me what to do if the evil god comes out, but they don't ask me what to do if the sticky fungus comes out, so I just thought that was thrown round at me, but it was quite a mistake.

And well, because of that misconception, we came out on the ground and were made a question-attack by the rest of us on the ground.

I had no choice but to lecture you on how I've been and how to defeat the dangers of sticky fungus...

"I'm tired for nothing..."

First of all, the knights, but it didn't make much sense for some to think I was still an evil man or to mistake Yellowslime for being like my user-demon.

And one adventurer, but blah, blah, blah, blah. Adventurers have a lot of brain muscles.

A lot of people said they couldn't keep up with a very complicated story.

Especially with regard to the sticky fungus, I explained it diligently, recalling the "total elimination method of sticky fungus known to Southern," but it didn't go a long way.

I thought these guys were less than or equal to Southern, but the Southern thing at the time didn't look like they were just standing around and listening, so maybe they can still say it's better.

Well, I don't think this world will ever be destroyed by that yellow slime after this, because I think it took a lot of hard work and the mucus repelling method passed on to many people.

That's all comfort, and I ended a longer narrative.

There were various computational differences, but now you can assume that you have survived the 'Labyrinth of Sacrifice' quest.

"Well, later..."

It just serves our first purpose.

"Hey, tired."

When we approached Alex's party, it was Ryden who called me that first.

Then,

"I don't know what it is, but it's a boulder!

Well, brave man. I don't know about my magnificent work, but I think I've been trying pretty hard as a normal person.

Ha, ha, ha!

You didn't do anything. Meaninglessly upbeat Alex and

"It's amazing how you defeat evil gods!

Now you can spend some time with Abel and the others without worrying about her.

... Ugh, actually, I promised to meet you in private earlier. "

Baccarat, who didn't want to know what it meant but was in a good mood, put on each one of them something that sounded like a word of nerve.

But only the southerns at heart were pointing that way.

Well, it's usual for this guy to have a bad attitude, but I'm having trouble getting him to listen to me all this time.

I couldn't help but get close and try to speak up,

"Hey, Saza-"

"Hmm. Apparently, you defeated the Evil God."

On the other hand, I was a little surprised when they talked to me in a non-bluffing voice.

Confused, but answering.

"No, I'm not the one who stabbed Todome, and that's probably a pretty small shard..."

"I don't care about the details. Anyway, you knocked him out, didn't you?

If you say it that way, it makes me feel strange to deny it.

"... oh"

I just nodded.

Then Suthern finally turned his masked face toward this one and said:

"- All right. I'll admit you as my rival."

Time stopped, I thought.

"... what?

But of course, that was my illusion.

The flow of time was progressing normally, and in front of him was Suthern with an attitude that made the Doya face in the back of the mask visible.

"Don't make me say it again and again.

I'm going to make you my rival.

Just shut your mouth and show your gratitude. "

- This is it.

This vain, dignified, insolent, unhappy man.

This is Southern.

"Well, thanks. But I'm sorry, but I need to ask you more than that."

I suppressed my vertigo and managed to push the word out.

"Hmm, what?

"I'm looking for some magic.

It's an attack magic called "Stardust Flare".

I want your help in mastering it. "

Stardust Flare is one of the most powerful magic you will ever remember at a Southern event.

Of course, it's not a magic job. It doesn't make a lot of sense for me to remember, but it doesn't matter about the magic effect range or the magic effect.

It has been confirmed that power is the only thing that is determined by the sheer amount of magic, and that no one else uses it to make a difference.

... I just don't think that Southern will take this offer.

Most character events did not occur without more than a constant degree of friendship, as did this Stardust Flare related event.

I started taking Suthern with me to remember this, so I'm pretty sure.

I ignore half the rules of the game in this world, and it seems like friendship fluctuates depending on how I feel in person, but I don't think I'm liked enough to have a character event happening to Southern.

However, even if they refuse, of course, if we talk ahead of time like this... of the negotiations.

"Okay."

"Become! Are you okay?!?

I got an unexpected answer and I wandered off unexpectedly.

He sees me like that with a frivolous eye from across the mask.

"Admittedly, you're a weird guy.

I don't owe a lot to people.

I can't help it, so I'll hear that wish. "

"Damn...... thanks"

I was frustrated with the way I said it, but I managed to get there.

Thank you for your time.

Then, Suthern got even better.

"Hmm. If the world were me, I'd be the best magician in the world. I'd have known that name all over the world.

You're in real luck to be a mentor to me like that.

Right, you want to be my apprentice!?

Susan, who was good at speaking, but suddenly the words stopped.

"Yes, yes, it's amazing.

It's time to shut your mouth and go over there with Atashi!

It was Baccarat who uttered such a dialogue from behind Southern.

Baccarat grabbed and lifted the exact root of Suthern.

"No, don't! My noble cloak with your filthy hands..."

"Ah? What's wrong with your hands?

"Hih! Hey, it's nothing! It's nothing!

With such interaction, Baccarat took Suthern far away.

It was kind of like a parent cat carrying a kitten.

It was me looking at it.

"I'm sorry, but he's not very restrained.

If you're upset, I'll apologize instead. "

Now Ryden came out and bowed his head, finally returning to me.

"No, that's fine. I don't care."

It would rather be an understatement for Southern.

It's a level where I'm worried you're sick.

"Right. I'd appreciate it if you'd say that."

Lyden laughs with a slightly bitter face.

I think you're having a hard time.

(Well, is that a reward for dm)

It's not like I'm worried.

Rather, Ryden seems to be really companion to follow up on Southern as well.

You seem to be familiar with the party properly, and I should say I'm glad.

"Well, whatever it is about Southern, this is the second time you've been able to help."

"Hmm? Oh, well, I guess so"

Speaking of which, I'm also helping when I'm a butcher about Ryden.

No, Ryden got in danger because we let Butcher out in the first place, and I just helped Ryden back out trying to stop it.

I miss it when I remember that.

"... hey. That's what you say when you're helped, but don't get too upset, okay?

"Huh?"

The body solidified into unexpected words that were spoken.

This isn't a pattern, but with a blur or something, Ryden started talking.

"Seeing you're that threesome and you're desperate to help Rifa is a child, you're a little silly and anxious.

In the first place, I don't think this one was supposed to have anything to do with you. "

"Oh, that's, well..."

The truth is, I had a preliminary knowledge that if this quest failed, it would be game over.

Based on that, I can't say it's irrelevant, but certainly from the outside, it would seem odd that I stuck my neck in this quest.

Lyden waved at me when I gave him a complicated look.

"Oh, no, no, it's nothing. It's fine in itself.

It's just that you're getting too desperate.

You can't save everyone you're involved with, can you?

So I'm worried you might crumble when something like that happens. "

The moment they said that, Mitsuki's words came back to the back of his brain.

"You're a little too much into the people you're involved with."

Could that have meant something like this?

No matter how much gaming knowledge I have, I can't solve every human predicament I encounter and guarantee its safety.

All the more so in this world where free will exists in characters and some quests are moving on their own.

Me and Rifa, for example, have nothing to do with this world.

But what would have happened to me if Rifa had been sacrificed just like the game.

That's what Mitsuki was worried about.

"Nothing, I don't mind trying to help.

But, well, you shouldn't feel too much.

If you can't cut it off, you might die next. "

I can tell by myself that my face is sticky.

Ryden looked at my face like that, looking sorry, but speaking clearly.

"At least, when I find out, it's too late, or there's nothing I can do about what happened in the distance.

I hate to talk about it, but, well, there's no human being who can live without losing anything.

There might be a situation where you can't survive without sacrifice.

In that case, we should just prioritize the line in ourselves. "

(Priority, kah...)

I can't save you, D.M., but I can talk to you. Thank Lyden, I came back to my people.

He noticed me like that, and the apple that was talking to Rifa first came running over, and Kuma slapped me on the shoulder pointlessly, and Maki made a noise, and Mitsuki punched the cat's ear.

Look at that,

(For me right now, I knew these guys were the most important thing to me)

I don't think it's worth mentioning now.

I've just been reminded that Apple cares more about me than I do, and that even Mitsuki, who doesn't look like that, cares about me, even in harsh terms.

Mami, who always soothes us and who can share stories about the original world, is beside us now.

Once again, I felt blessed to have company.

And when I think about it, I'm starting to feel like I need to somehow shape it and show it.

It's a little illuminating, but you could have that opportunity.

I pounded my cheeks and turned to the apple first.

"Ringo. That, that was bad earlier. Don't be so dangerous anymore... uh, I'll hold back as long as I can."

When I bow my head in words that don't boil off a little,

"... n"

Pompous, and he slapped me on the shoulder like Kuma would.

I forgive you, I guess that means.

"... thanks"

Laughing at the apple like that, the apple slipped away from her face like it was a little lit.

I glanced at Kuma on that shoulder next, thinking you saw a rare thing.

When Kuma meets me, she crosses her hands as if covering her own body, turning back to shrink...

"No, that's fine."

That would certainly be the story from when they peeked into dressing at the shark dojo.

I'll bring something I really miss.

I don't think Kuma ever thanked me properly for all the help I've done because talking to Kuma makes me scratch like this.

Get your mind back on it, I knew I'd keep my head down.

"Kuma, the... thanks for everything.

Even today, no, not just today, you're always just helping me.

Keep it up, please. "

When I say that and I look up,

- Nita.

Kuma answered my words with that eloquent smile above all else.

I knew this guy was a shame, and that's why he's reliable.

"... Maki"

"Soma"

Shinki is next.

I made the most serious face I could, and I told Mayuki I'd stare at this one with a full face of anticipation.

"The Knights are waiting behind us, and shouldn't it be time to go home to the castle?

"... Huh?

At the same time as the words, the knights who were behind Maki move.

"Sa, princess. You've already run errands. Let's go back."

"The king and queen are also worried. Come on, come on!"

The knights take us, and Maki leaves.

"Huh? Hey, yeah!?

I'm the only one who treats you like this!?

Oh, soma!!

Maki asks for help over here as he punctures his hand.

I smiled and dropped it off.

After confirming that Maki was pushed straight into the Knights carriage and no longer visible,

"Oh, shit..."

I realized I hadn't decided how to get in touch with Maki.

I wish I could have prepared something like the "Communication Ring" I gave Train back in the day, but as it is, there is only so much way I can contact him as I go to the castle again.

Well, fine.

For once, my cult suspicions must have been solved, and if I could just go to the royal castle and ask for a follow up, I'd probably figure it out.

More than that, now......

"Mitsuki"

"Yes."

I'll end up facing Mitsuki.

With the usual faceless look, I thought it seemed like her when I saw that only the cat ear was moving small to be nervous.

I have also decided what I want to say to Mitsuki.

"Lyden also told me not to let too many people in.

So I figured out what Mitsuki was worried about. "

"... Really?"

In my words, Mitsuki puts cat ears down.

He took his gaze off me slightly and started talking like a twinkle.

"Even I, I'm not a stone.

It's hard if your people hurt you, and if someone you know dies, you're sad.

I was traveling all kinds of places on my own, and it's not irrelevant. "

"Right..."

I don't even know how that feels.

I guess Mitsuki didn't make company the whole time, knowing the danger of traveling with herself, just like I left Train in Ramric.

"You are someone who stands alongside me for the first time I have found you.

He's my dear, truly dear companion. "

My face is indescribably faceless, but I felt my chest get hot with the words and the deep sweetness of the mites I could feel from my cat ears.

"Speaking of which, at first, Mitsuki and I were supposed to travel together because we were temporary members.

Sometimes I was confused, but now I can't think of any more trips without Mitsuki "

I spin words, trying to stare at Mitsuki from the front and convey this feeling at all.

"I also think of Mitsuki as an important companion.

If we can, we'll always be together... "

"If so!!

Somehow there Mitsuki shouted loudly at the eating mood, stuffing her distance from me at an awesome rate and grabbing her shoulder.

"Oh no, Mitsuki!?

Too much strength, and honestly, it hurts.

Or I'm a little too excited and scared.

However, Mitsuki didn't seem to notice me like that, and the usual calm went where, all at once with the shitty eyes of a hunter after his prey.

"So, then, this is a good opportunity!

Wow, my official member promotion celebration as well, come on, next time, why don't you come with me to the Phantom Stone Cave!?

the impending mitzvah and on its head he said, "Psst!" and watching the cat ears repeatedly open and close at an abnormal rate, I

"No, uh... let me think about that for a second"

Cats are hunters, after all, what, I didn't care.
