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

"Ena...?

At first, I couldn't believe it.

No, maybe he didn't want to believe it.

"What's wrong?

"... soma?

Suddenly he raised his voice on his own, and his buddy gave him a strange look, but he couldn't afford to pay attention to me.

Because at this time, Ena contacted me.

So, it's like, really...

(... no)

The "Communication Ring" is an item that will allow you to have a conversation with the person you have registered for only three minutes.

It's not surprising that Ena, who has it, should be contacting me.

The timing, even if it's just a coincidence, can be explained.

Forced to think like that, I manage to rebuild my feelings of upset.

"Ena? Is that Ena?

Still, the question raised a little bit of a voice, I guess I had no choice.

To my words like that,

'Yes, yes! Ena,.

That voice is Mr. Soma, Mr. Soma, right?

Um, well, it's been a while, is.

Also, I'm glad to hear your voice. '

My voice returned as if I was impressed.

The voice is purely filled with the joy of being able to talk to me, and it doesn't seem like you're in a very dangerous place.

If Ena is in the Lisamis Wilderness in the first place, there's no way she can communicate like this.

Ena's train mode only happens around Ramric, and it's virtually impossible to level up more than that unless you come out to King's Capital.

Ena is a bit of a fast-paced level 70 right now. She's just an adventurer there, and if she's thrown out into the Lisamis Wilderness with lots of agile four-legged beasts, she'll probably be killed without holding it for a minute.

It must have been some mistake.

I thought so, and I opened my mouth to make sure.

"Ena, you..."

'Yes! What is it, Mr. Soma!

Once done and in that bright voice, the words that follow lose momentum.

"... no. Why didn't you call me sooner?

In the end, my mouth was moving on its own, asking unusual questions.

"Oh, that, is..."

Ena's, a slightly troubled sign.

"Yes, because I promised."

"What?

"This, the ring." I'll cherish it for the rest of my life, "he said.

The moment I heard the words, I had the shock of being hit in the head.

That's how much he cared about the other, unloved gifts from me.

But more than that, I realized the other meaning of the word.

That 'communication ring', which Ena vowed to 'cherish for the rest of her life', expires in three minutes of use and breaks as it is.

I mean, I just used it...

To my worst hunch, my throat clamps.

Still, I squeezed my voice out.

"Ena. Honestly, answer me"

'Ha, ha!

It took courage to say that next word.

Still, I can't do it any more.

I finally let go of my definitive words as I endured the chest pain that struck me.

"You're in Lisa Miss now, aren't you?

"Huh!?

The reaction was dramatic.

That's enough that I don't need any more words.

But once released, words don't stop.

"I'm in front of Monolith in the King's Capital right now.

So the merchants who escaped told me that you were aboard the crashed demon ship. "

My words to the core,

'Chi, no! It's Ramric!

In the town of Lamlick, I miss you, so I contacted Mr. Soma... '

Ena desperately denied it.

But in other words, it has already proven the correctness of my words.

"That's a lie."

Ena can't answer the overlapping words.

Instead, I came out with

"... sorry, do it"

Words like that.

I don't know what that means.

'Break the word, I'm sorry.

The letter said don't come, but I really missed you, but this... '

"I don't care about that!!

When I realized, I was screaming out loud.

"I don't care about words or promises or anything like that anymore!

It's more important that you survive now than that!!

"Soma,..."

He shouts up without caring around him, listens to Ena like he's scared, and calms down just a little bit.

I think of information on the Lisa Miss Wilderness in my head.

Consider measures that will enable Ena to survive.

"Ena, listen carefully.

Indeed, Lisamis' enemies are strong and fast.

Trying to escape the monster there won't get away with it first on the flat ground.

But there's a safe zone there. "

Yes, there's a safety zone over there.

That's why I'm fine.

Keep talking so you can distract your anxiety.

"Climb the tree.

The monsters there are all beast shaped and can't climb trees.

So somehow, as long as we climb the tree... "

"Mr. Soma."

Whisper my words along the way, like trouble, Ena says.

"I'm on a tree right now.

Otherwise, so much, I can't talk to Mr. Soma '

Small, signs of laughter.

I might be able to figure this out.

I'm just a little relieved.

But...

'But I can't.

The monsters keep hitting the trees, and every time, the trees shake, they shake.

Probably won't have... a few more minutes'

My hopes were shattered unbroken.

That's right.

Unlike games in this world, objects such as trees and rocks have also become destructible.

No longer on a tree, it will never be a safe zone.

Ena speaks brightly to me when I lose my words by accident.

'But that's okay!

It's a little, I guess, frightening to die.

But at the end of the day, I could just hear Mr. Soma, and that's all... '

"Oh no!!

I screamed furiously and finally realized.

He was acting bright, and now he's lying about being in Ramric, all because he doesn't worry about me.

So that I don't feel responsible for my death, so that I don't regret that I couldn't help Ena, I've been hiding my situation and really communicating just to 'talk to you at the end'.

Even though I may be dying soon, you can't read the air, so much so that it sticks together, only at the end, so...

"Stupid, you are"

'Ah, ha. Me too, yes, I think'

Ena's voice, which seemed to behave like a temperament, is also faintly trembling if listened to carefully.

Because it is.

I can't be afraid to die.

(You, why, no...!!

When I almost screamed unexpectedly at the emotions that flooded me,

"Huh!?

My shoulder was pulled apart.

Mitsuki.

"The person you're talking to, you're Ena.

Someone who was with you in Ramric.

She can track you down. "

"But not until Lisamis..."

My words, Mitsuki whispered.

"No matter how hasty, it'll take two hours.

Don't expect to make it. "

"If so..."

"I'm not going to do anything to see your face like that."

All the while, my chest was stuck.

Push to kill, head down.

"... please. I can't move from here."

"I've been entrusted"

Leaving the word behind, Mitsuki runs away without hesitation.

I hope you make it.

But the situation is hopeless.

There's not much time left.

Still, I asked to calm my swinging heart.

"... Hey, Ena.

How did you end up on a magic ship?

You didn't like it, did you?

I thought Ena might come by carriage because Ena had a strong rejection of the Magic Seal ship when she went to the Magic Seal ship landing.

Yet......

"I'm sorry. That's a lie."

"Shh...?

Ena's answer was concise.

"I, Mr. Soma, do not like to go somewhere on a demon sealed ship.

I really wanted to hold Mr. Soma back.

So...... '

...... oh.

In retrospect, Ena's words and actions were unnatural then.

I mean, were you trying desperately to hold me back to let me go?

"But how could you get so far...

You had company, didn't you?

If so... "

'Cause that's because Mr. Thiel is one of us, because of Mr. Soma.'

"Mine? But..."

Nothing. I didn't do anything.

Before I said that, Ena said.

'When I was injured and transported to the treatment center, Tiel, who treated me at that time, told me.

Tell the story of the man who was brought to the treatment center just like me and left his cane. '

"It's..."

Sure, that's me.

In the age of the game, Tiel decided to give him a wand called Guerrunica.

So shortly before I left Lamric, I gave Thiel the wand, calling it the cost of treatment.

'That story prompted me to get along with Mr. Thiel.

So, thanks to Mr. Soma, too. '

"That's..."

It's just a coincidence, a cliché, a conjecture.

You gave Thiel the wand because it's just sentimental, self-satisfying.

I never did anything to be praised.

Yet, as if I were a hero, Ena talks like I was floated by heat.

'Cause thanks to Mr. Soma, it all changed.

Thanks to Mr. Soma, meet with Mr. Thiel.

Thanks to meeting Mr. Thiel, I know how to cure your mother's illness.

Thanks to Soma for raising the level, the collection of items for it, and Tiel's level, went so well.

So really, I can cure your mother's illness... '

In me, the last piece fits.

(Oh well...)

With her sick mother in her arms, she didn't think Ena was supposed to come to King's Capital.

But Ena also naturally has character events.

I didn't keep Ena company in the game, I never did that event.

But if Ena has a sick mother, it's not surprising that a character event has something to cure that disease.

Ena, who worked with Thiel, was desperate and adventurous, presumably to do the event and cure her mother's illness.

But one of the reasons I rushed that far is probably...

'Mr. Thiel and I were talking.

When your mother's illness has healed, she wants to go with you to King's Capital and see Mr. Soma.

... but Mr. Thiel.

Give me the money when my mother is well.

With this money, he said, "Get on a demon seal ship and meet Mr. Soma one step ahead."

Thiel must have known that Ena wanted to see me more than she did.

So I guess I tried to please Ena and secretly saved up the cost of a demon seal ship for one person.

That's a very beautiful story, one that should be greeted with joy if it's true, but......

(Shit! Why! How did this happen!

Curse the roundabout's bad luck, but this is one end of the blame for me.

Even I had predictions that Ena might come after me.

But knowing the possibilities, I didn't hit anything.

(Why did I leave Ena alone until this happened!

I'm ashamed of my uncertainty, but not if I regret it now.

Leave it like this, and Ena will surely die.

(Die? Ena?

I can't breathe enough of the shock of words that come to mind.

The guy who worried about me and got tangled up in me with all the noise...

The guy who stuck around me, made all the mistakes, and still always laughed brightly, dies?

- That couldn't have been admitted.

But the flowing time was brutal and merciless.

In less than that long, maybe in a few more seconds, the end will come.

The ring will expire, Ena will be killed, and I will never meet that smile again.

(There has to be some way!

So I think, as usual.

A hand in reversal.

Look for such means that you don't have to sacrifice anything to find a way to avoid losing anything.

(Something, something, nothing?

Think.

Think, think, think.

Terrain conditions, bug moves, monster characteristics, and event conditions.

Wash out all the information and find the best hands.

But, but...

- I can't.

Ena, Ena is in a field far from the king's capital.

Going there in a few minutes is impossible, even if there was a demon sealed ship.

"There's no one who can live without losing anything."

Ryden's words pierce his chest as he now does.

It's just supposed to be a series of sounds that annoyed me with a definite mass.

"You can't reach out to every human being in this world."

Mitsuki's words, which should have had definite warmth, stand before me as a cold fact.

of the boundaries of the individual, the limits.

No good human being can stop all the tragedies in this world.

By the time I found out, the situation was already packed.

By the time I heard Ena's name, the road to a happy ending had been cut off for so long.

(I can't. Yes, I can't, what?)

That's how I realized.

So I... I gave up.

Give it up, damn it.

"Soma,? Why won't you say anything?

Think.

Fight this situation.

Say something, say something!

It's the last time, isn't it?

I can't talk to Soma anymore... '

If you're alive, sometimes you lose something.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

'Oh, please, Mr. Soma!

This, this last time, I don't like it.

I can't believe I'm alone until it's time to die, no... '

That's something I can't help anymore, something as powerful as me, something I can't prevent.

'Please, don't abandon me!

If Mr. Soma abandons you, I, no more, nothing... '

In my ear, where I abandoned myself, Ena's voice still reaches.

A trembling voice strikes me in the ear.

"Soma,. Please, please, so... '

But even then, it became weaker and weaker.

"... I'm sorry, Sai"

And the last time I got there, I knew it was in such a powerless language.

'Me, to the end, that was delightful, wasn't it?

But that's all, let me tell you '

Like squeezing her blurry voice out of consciousness like that, I...

"Soma,. Until now, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. '

I closed my eyes.

And I open my eyes slowly.

- Readiness, I've decided.

I kick aside everything I can't even do like that, like it's a priority, or I'm gonna cut it off.

No matter how much you think about it, this conclusion remains the same.

It can't be any different.

No matter how irrevocable this choice has produced, it still doesn't matter.

No matter how many sacrifices you make, you decide to sweeten it to your heart.

I don't have any more time.

I don't know when the ring will expire, and I don't know when the tree will fall.

We can't afford to be lost any more.

That's why I tell her.

Beginning words.

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

The word pushes the invisible switch in Ena.

A special switch that brings in ruin, the same as in train mode.

"Soma,...?

With a faint or thin voice, Ena still answered my words.

From that voice, it can be wondered if it is' progressing 'well.

But when it's going well, I believe so.

Of this king's capital, a place called before the monolith.

I'm stuck in Ena's finger, the "Communication Ring" I gave her.

Conditions are in place.

It's neat, it should be.

Breathe big, big.

Spin out your words with energy that is about to shrivel and your voice that is about to tremble.

"Listen, Ena. I..."

I should have decided to be ready, but before I uttered the word, I hesitated slightly.

That's not anxiety about what's going to happen, but whether I deserve to say this word.

But...

(Even if you don't qualify, it's okay!

That's why I blew up before I felt stronger.

Keep that thought and put it on the word.

At last, I speak that dialogue.

"- I like Ena. I want you to marry me."

Far away, I feel signs of Ena taking a breath.

In "Before the Monolith," say "keywords" to "the person who gave you the ring".

The conditions for initiating a proposal event should all be in place.

So later, Ena's friendship, that is, depends on how you feel.

The time I spent with Ena is too short.

If this world was a pure game, it wouldn't even be enough to talk about it.

But in this world, if feelings dictate numbers in this world, or...

So just wait.

My heart rumbles out loud.

My chest is tight and tight.

Still, I just feel like praying, waiting for her to respond.

Short and long, silent time.

Eventually it was spoken, Ena's answer is......

"- Yes, welcome!

I'm about to cry out to me, not much relief, at that trembling voice mixed with tears and joy.

But it's not over yet.

"The word of the oath, together, will you say it?

"Mr. Soma, but I... Huh!!

Ena says something.

But I won't let you say that until the end.

"Not for Ena. I want you to tell me."

'... Yikes!

Ena, who responds with a crying, but delightful voice, probably hasn't imagined.

What awaits you before this act?

You must not even be thinking that you are making a choice now that could destroy the world.

Then that's fine.

As it was, I decided to push it through to the end.

"Soma Sagara and..."

"The Ena Trail..."

That's why we say the last word.

Irrevocable, word of oath.

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

The two words were over, at that moment, were.

Towards the monolith, light falls from the sky.

Divinely disastrous, demonic light.

(- Oh, I know)

I know this sight.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

In a floating sensation similar to intoxication and a backward sense of accomplishment, I hear voices from heaven.

I know who this voice is.

I know what's going to happen.

Bless your wonderful love.

The 'Blessing of the Demon King' event, also described as the worst during the game.

Celebration and curse, inversion of good intentions and malice.

A curse of time freeze, turning your beloved into an unspeakable statue.

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

The Word of the Demon King, proclaiming with infinite sobriety and joy to his pitiful and foolish victims.

But that proclamation, for me now,

- Grant the bride the blessing of immortality.

Right, it was a blessing.

That day.

All those who were lords of the kingdom were cursed by the sudden pouring of thunder.

Alex the Brave of Light, the Leading Knight Sparkhawk, Jane the Divine, and Ryden the Immortal.

They were supposed to shine more than anyone else and sing raw more than anyone else, turning them into statues that were neither allowed to live nor die by the curse of the Demon King.

Among its list of victims, which spans dozens, are my well-known figures, Thiel Lentier, who was found at the treatment center in Ramric, and Jessica Cretia, who was part of the Knights of the Kingdom, and...

- There was also the name of Ena Trail, an adventurer found on a tree in the Lisamis wilderness.
