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

I was the one who got certified as a phony by Maki from a few mistakes (cat ears), but I managed to solve the misunderstanding when I talked to him in good faith.

Even though I have been with someone for more than a decade, I have about cat ears and treating them as fakers is terrible, I didn't even think so, but well I can understand how Maki feels upset.

Maki remembers when the people of the city of Richter were wiped out, and I can see that time unwinded and confused without any explanation there.

Most importantly, if my interactive cousin had suddenly grown cat ears since I was a kid, I'd probably run for something I wasn't surprised by.

Anyway, the morning after we successfully solved Maki's misunderstanding, we decided to take him out and go out.

Its purpose is to buy hardware that shears curtains that have become distorted and unusable due to a few circumstances, not, no, once that's one of the purposes, but basically to gather information.

Two weeks later, the evil shard in the cathedral, which would destroy this city, defeated it.

Now you can say that the immediate crisis has left.

However, it is said that the shards of the Evil God, when defeated, distribute their power to the remaining shards and bodies.

I broke two of the four sealed shards.

Because of this, the power of the remaining shards is increased, and the possibility that the seal can be unsealed cannot be denied.

Besides, I don't have the option to leave evil gods alone anymore.

When the resurrected demon shard killed my people, I made up my mind.

- Absolutely defeat the Evil God.

It's not for revenge, it's just for the safety of our people, the people of this world.

One by one fellow falls before the shard of the resurrected Evil God.

When I think of that time, I am attacked by the feeling that there is still a black starch in my chest.

I'm not going to sacrifice Apple, Mitsuki, and Suthern to all the people who have been involved with me in this world again.

All the shards, I wouldn't say what an asshole.

Bust all the shards of the Evil God and smash them to the body that is the culprit by no time they are complete.

That was no longer a decision for me.

But there's still a lot to know for that.

Of the two remaining shards, one place is still unknown, and there are many other mysteries about the Evil God.

For example, why, in the world before the rewind, the shards of the Evil God that attacked the King's capital were larger than the Evil God body in the video recording?

The influence of ritual magic, or the shards of evil gods that should have certainly vanished, why they attacked me right after that.

Then, in the evil god wars in the video records, how could the heroes Alex not destroy the evil gods, but seal them?

I am also concerned about the meaning of the phrase "Evil God is never to be fought" left behind by the nameless, one of the heroes who sealed the Evil God.

The biggest clue to finding out about it is the stone board of the "Evil God War Video Record," its final story, but the only person who saw it, Maki, had said "you should see it in person" and held his mouth.

The stone slab, which could be seen until the last story used by Maki, was lost at the time of the world's rewind.

Even if we keep going one story at a time, we're going to need at least two weeks before we can see the final story.

Something like that, not very much, but I can't wait.

"So you're saying we're going to that library again!

"Oh. I used to think about Necranomicons all the time, and I didn't read the book there properly."

I nodded to Ena, who called from the side.

He said that it was where the Evil God War video records were, and that Ena had searched the library to purchase information on the sealed clan, whether it belonged to the King's capital or not.

I can't say enough that it will always be fruitful, but I wouldn't be wrong to look for information.

"Are you looking for something? I'll do my best!"

"... Mm. Good luck."

From the other side, I heard the tempered voices of Ena and Apple.

In the course of yesterday, I told my buddies about the rewind details.

We talked only cloudily about apples, mites and Sutherns being killed by boulders, but a massive number of humans are dead, a hell of a thing.

I was wondering if it would be more frightening, but when I declared that I would "defeat the Evil God before it reaches the original world," Ringo and Ena rather gave me their endorsement with a motivational look.

"... ma"

I'm not losing anyone anymore.

I'm going to stand on the arrow and fight the Evil Gods alone, but when it comes to fighting the Evil Gods, I don't know what will happen.

On the other hand, I'm worried about their motivation, and still seems very grateful to me...

"Soma! You called me earlier! Don't ignore me!

"Whoa, whoa!

My walking thoughts are forced to be interrupted by the black things that come from behind.

When I realized that was the body of one of my people, Southern, I panicked and shook myself off.

"What's up? So upset."

"Yes, don't stick around all of a sudden! Oh, it's hot and bitter!

I return unconvincing words to Suthern, who leans his mask strangely.

The video recordings of the Evil God's War and trials about Stardust Flares made it a lot easier with Suthern.

But the memory of a series of disturbances has been erased from this guy's head.

So my relationship with Suthern was reset... but it was supposed to be.

"Huh. Don't you like the heat and bitterness? That's a good thing to hear.

Actually, there was something I wanted to ask you to do when I went to the library. "

"Become, hey, you!

When Suthern says happily, he tries to stick to me again.

... Actually, Apple and Ena weren't the only ones happy to declare that I would defeat the Evil God.

Maki remained depressed by the cat ear disturbance, and now Leila, who is leaving a message at the mansion, looked confused by the sudden increase in information, but Suthern was different.

In fact, Southern is one of the heroes of the Redemption, a noble child who draws the blood of a sorcerer nameless.

In a few more years, he will inherit the house and be in a situation where he will have to marry someone he does not even like, with the goal of defeating the shards of the Evil God in order to avoid it and making the clan recognize its own power, its worth.

Not that it was spoken clearly, but to sum up the stories of the past, I imagine that's what happened to Suthern.

Such a Southern cannot be unhappy with my proclamation of the Crusade of the Evil God.

Since I said I would defeat the evil god, Suthern has become visibly in a better mood and more comfortable with me than before...

"Bullshit! So don't stick around!

"Hehe, is it hot and bitter? Then why don't you pay my admission fee instead of leaving?

"What are you talking about? You! Just get away from me!

With the effect of the rewind, I don't recall telling that story to Southern himself.

But I've been listening to that story, and, you know, just before I rewind, I saw that (...) face with the mask, and it's kind of impossible for me to deal with Southern like before...

"Mr. Suthern. That's about it."

"Huh? Oops!

It was an unexpected person who gave me a helping boat.

"I'll pay for your admission. So you don't mind."

"Ugh... Uh-huh. If you'll pay me, whoever,"

Saying so with his mouth, for some reason he mumbles with dissatisfaction, Southern.

But my consciousness had already shifted elsewhere.

"Oh, bad. Thank you, Mitsuki."

"No."

Replying calmly to me, an awesome swordsman in Japanese costumes, one of my oldest companions, Mitsuki.

My consciousness flies to the past again.

Resurrection of the shards of the Evil God and the destruction of the King's capital.

As his buddies gave him a surprise look, Mitsuki said that only Mitsuki reacted differently than anyone else.

Mitsuki didn't change her expression at all, whether I told her about the resurrection of the Evil God or about the unwinding of the world.

No, on the contrary, as the conversation progressed, I almost stopped even moving my trademark cat ear, just staring at me, just me.

That's as if you're seeing through everything, including what I didn't tell you.

It's as if the world crisis I'm talking about, or the story of a human being killed by an evil god, is a common occurrence, just a few things.

No matter what we talked about, we never put our emotions on the table, perfectly or at all.

That extraordinary attitude overlaps the figure of Mitsuki at that time, when she knew of the death of her father but did not disturb her when that shard of evil god was resurrected, and even made her own life a forsaken pawn for purpose.

I think it may be understood that only Mitsuki had his companions killed by the shards of the Evil God, even Mitsuki himself at the time.

Even now, Mitsuki looks at me with those clear eyes... is that it?

I stopped by and noticed it for the first time.

This is more like looking at my head than looking at me...

When I realized I was facing Mitsuki's gaze,

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly, the ends of Mitsuki's lips loosened.

For a moment, it was loose at an angle I'd never seen before.

"Mi, mitsuki!? Duh, what's wrong?!

What happened to her, who was supposed to be that iron skin?

When I asked in surprise, she looked at me and said, "This is the first time she's noticed me."

"No, it's nothing.... I just thought you were in line."

"Probably?"

When I asked him back, Mitsuki answered briefly, yes.

"Become!?

I turned my head to bring my own shoulder to my shoulder.

The cat ear over her head hits the cat ear over my head and I shrug myself unexpectedly.

"Right. Alignment, isn't it?

Mitsuki gives a loose smile with such momentum as what has been the faceless look so far.

So I finally realized it was an illusion that I had ever seen beyond.

"I have so far met quite a few of those who have produced ears similar to mine.

Talking to them, looking at their ears, never remembered any special emotions.

... Yet it's strange "

It seemed cloudless because, conversely, the less other elements, the more cloudy it was.

It didn't seem like an enlightened attitude, not because I was seeing through everything, but because I didn't really care from the middle of nowhere.

"Is it because that ear, that shape, has something that touches my harp line?

Or is it because it's you? "

Since when?

Speaking of which, no matter what I'm talking about, she's been looking at me with all her heart, just even, just over my head.

"Whenever your ears shake or tremble, my heart twitches and gorges.

This, boiling feeling. This could be... "

I mean, that's it.

Mitsuki, now...

"... love, maybe it's something"

- Totally, colors are bogged down!!

"Uh, uh, that, Mitsuki?

"... Yes"

Mitsuki replies happily for some reason with the kind of eyes floating in the fever.

Nothing's supposed to be dangerous, but cold sweat erupts.

Unstoppable pressure like never felt before.

"Oh, it's time for the library! And let's just go!

But fortunately, I got to my destination before I was swallowed up by the pressure of that mite.

I was horrified and tried to speed up my legs towards the building I could see in front of me, that was then.

"- Hey, soma. Will you stop now?

From behind, I was told enough words to stop my legs from sewing.

"... Really, Hitch?

Two younger cousins who were always super bright, noisy and full of vitality.

But now her voice seemed exhausted and frightened.

So I finally realized, too.

That Maki was quiet, not just because he called me a phony.

to the fact that she was invisible and had been troubled.

Still, I ask carelessly on purpose.

"Stop, are you going to the library?

Nothing, but it's... "

"That's not true. I'm not, soma."

You know that.

Blunt light-bearing eyes tell me.

"Well, don't do it, what?"

Blurred voice.

Half-anticipated answer, but I still try to pull it out of Maki.

"Defeating the Evil God"

The answer was exactly what I imagined.

(Really? You're not done. even in Maki)

Just like I'm still hurting my chest when I think of my people dying.

Maki, too, dragged that memories of hell all the way through, and realized she hadn't been able to get out of it.

"I left last night alone, I know!

You went to defeat the shards of the evil gods in the basement of Wang Du!

"Did you notice?

"I haven't even done my cousin to Dada in over a decade.

It's easy to see what you're thinking. "

Therefore, Maki's eyes become stronger.

With the will of immortality, she opens her mouth.

"Then that should be enough. Now nothing dangerous is going to happen anymore.

The seal may be broken in the future, but I'm sure it was earlier, so... "

I found out that Maki was leading us from the bottom of our hearts.

But that's why I couldn't back off.

"Stop, I can't do that. You know Maki, too.

When you defeat the shards of the Evil God, that power goes to the remaining shards.

We've already broken two shards.

By the end of the day, other than defeating the body of the Evil God, we have no way... "

"But, but he can't defeat the Evil God.

You mustn't fight. Never. "

"Maki?"

What the hell did Maki see on that tablet?

I shook my body to be frightened by fear, but immediately looked at me with stronger eyes than ever, I said.

"- Hey, soma. This isn't a game."

"Become!?

And the words, besides thoughts, struck my heart.

"If it's a game, there's always a goal there, and if you make an effort, it's up to you to get there.

But here, yeah, from here on out, the other side of the game.

I don't know if there is a goal to defeat the Evil God. "

"That, is..."

Indeed, my reason said that Maki's words made sense.

In the game, the Demon King is designed as a "thing to be defeated" from the beginning.

What is there is the planned harmony that the brave will take on the demon king.

But this world, the current situation of confronting evil gods over demon kings, has crossed the world of games.

This world no longer guarantees me that evil gods are capable of defeating them.

Maybe......

No matter how hard you try, don't let people fly in the sky alive.

Defeat the Evil God, in the end, may not exist anywhere.

"... no"

"Huh?"

But my mouth was spilling words of nature and denial.

Decided goal line.

Just run towards the end of the promised planned harmony.

If it was a normal game, yes.

"What you don't understand is Mayuki."

"Oh, Ma?

But no.

That game, our 'cat ear cat', is different.

There was no harmony of plans in that game.

There was even an unpredictable bug in the producer, unpredictable random elements blocked the way, and I didn't know if anyone could clear it, and if I wasn't lucky, it really made it impossible to clear the game.

Still, we moved on.

Even if I didn't have anything to believe, I just moved on.

Then it can't be that the same thing can't be done in this world (...) born of that 'cat ear cat'.

So there's only one thing you can tell me.

"We cat ear cat players have always made our way where there is no way.

So even this time, I'm just gonna do it. "

"Oh, my God."

Maki stands up flashly.

"So, but if you fail, you could die!

I don't even know if I'm going to succeed or, yeah, if there's any chance I'm going to succeed, but that's... "

I wonder why Mayuki is upset.

He looked like a lost child.

"... then should I prove it?

"Huh?"

"Cat, ear, cat, player, I'm just trying to prove that I'm someone who can make a path where there's no way."

If so, it's my job to stop that crybaby from crying.

I couldn't even answer it, I just turned my back on Shinxi,

"Stay away from me, it's dangerous."

Just say a few short words to my people and I'll get out of them and walk out on my own.

And turn in front of the library wall.

In the position bearing the library wall on his back, he removed his favorite weapon from his bag.

That is not the agnostic fire lost once in a sword with special abilities, an evil god battle before unwinding......

You should use it now, not like that.

What I took out was just a ninja knife, much less capable of killing than the synthetically enhanced agnostic fire.

But that's it.

No, it has to be this, it has to be this.

"Soma? What...?

I move, pretending I don't even realize it now, to the gaze of Maki mixed with even fright.

the ninja knife in his hand, unleashing the blade to freedom,

"Look at you, Maki! This is our cat, cat, ear, cat player, alive!!

To Maki, raise it high to show it to all the people on the spot, and mouth the keyword.

"-" Dream Mirage "!!

At that next moment, my figure disappears.

Mashi, Ringo, Mitsuki, leave all of their people behind.

I'm moving through a roadless road to a book hall that smells like history and mold...

"- Oh, wow, wow!

It was actually thirty seconds after that that that Mamiki came after me in the shape of anger when she realized that it was used by Dashi to deflect the entrance fee.
