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

Chapter 208: The Perfect Dream

"Wow, that was great! I was scared, I...!

Susan jumps into my chest and leads to me, as if I were the only good one.

... No, it's like, maybe not.

"The Alexs, the apples, the mites, they're all dead...

I have to do something. But...!

The ring soul bracelet that's on Southern's left arm is what I brought from the world before I unwound it.

In other words, that bracelet should be packed with memories of Southern from the previous world killing his fellow demons by shards of evil gods, and at the end of the day, of the evil gods stepping in ready to die.

"But I was really scared!

I don't want to stay alone. 'Cause I can't possibly do this.

But you're the only one who has to let Soma go... "

Now, I know.

I guess Suthern unleashed the shards of the Evil God in himself to stop that Evil God shard.

I just caught a shallow memory, and I don't know what trick I had.

Is it the power of a sealed witch, or the habit of a shard of evil gods?

But as a result, the biggest shards found in the shards of the king's capital and the shards of the evil god sealed in the right arm of Suthern collided, and the clasp became.

"To the end, I tried to hang in there, I thought.

You don't have to fight him, he says he'll nail him for a little while.

But when he looked at me and laughed, something flew... "

I just know how it ends.

After activating the ritual magic, the round little Evil God shard that disappeared in front of me would belong to Southern.

Southern's sealed Evil God shard loses, and Southern...

"My legs, they got hot, I couldn't move, nothing, I don't know...!

It hurts, it's creepy, it's creepy, there's nothing I can do about it!

One said, "No, no, no, no, no, no."

"Southern!"

I was impulsively attracting Suthern to continue confessing with a trembling voice.

"......"

Flashy voice.

Feel the irresistible light body, painful.

So......

"... sorry"

Words, naturally, spilled out of my mouth.

"Thor, Ma?

With my heart in the world before me, I hold that body, which calls me blurry, strong again.

And I said.

Words I've never been able to say.

Speak to your companions who are gone, even if you want to, but you couldn't.

"I can't help him, I'm sorry.

... Well done. "

It was the moment I said so.

"Ugh... Uh-oh!

Suthern cried.

Like a young child, raise your voice.

With such a gentle support for Suthern's little back, I once again thought of everything and whispered.

"Thank you, Southern.... Welcome Back"

"... have you calmed down?

When I spoke, Suthern lay her eyes down shy and nodded "Yeah" in a small way.

Well, you don't have to turn your face away like that. I don't know the look on your face with a mask anyway, but that would be something to say.

"is, show me the embarrassment, the..."

"Ha, that's more like it now"

"So do that...... oh, already!

Sutherne said quickly, making her lips pointy as she was irritated, keeping an eye out for me.

"I just wanted to thank you for taking care of me.

When I heard those too Southern words, I erupted small.

When I heard that, I said, "What the hell, that reaction!," he pointed his mouth, but was relieved to see how it was.

"You look okay now. Well, it's too late today..."

"Ma, wait!

I was just about to cut it out, and Suthern raised her voice.

And

"Today, if we sleep together here, no...?

I'm confused by the unexpected suggestions that have been spoken of.

I just thought about it a little bit, but I shake my head.

I don't know what it's like to be anxious. But it won't be good.

"Uh. I told you before. You may not be aware, but you're a girl too..."

"Oh, you know what!

But my words were once again whispered by the desperate looking Southern.

"I'll tell you this, because I don't think it's fair if I tell you.

Hey, just a little bit, but I saw it.

before rewinding the world, Soma's, and the last thoughts. "

Oh, I recall.

I did pick up my bracelet and put it in my bag just before rewinding.

At that time, just a little bit of my memory was burning in my bracelet?

"So I know you care about me, too, and, uh, I'm glad, and...

So, uh... and trust, because I do. "

If you say so like you did, I'll have to say, oops.

Apart from this kind of thing, or rather, that's why, I think there's a part of it that says that before this pure smile, that would be the thing that's impeccable.

Yeah, it's just something I need to hang on to.

I don't have a choice, this, I don't have a choice.

"... just today."

I noticed. When I said that, Suthern said again, "Ugh!" He nodded with a bounced voice.

"Oh, you know. Let me talk to you."

"Talk?"

Okay, I'm gonna interrupt, and Suthern comes into bed looking deliberately transgressive, but I can't hide being nervous.

It was those Southern words that broke the odd tension that lasted for a while.

"Yeah. Soma was in a different world than here, wasn't she?

I don't know much about Soma.

That's why I want to hear it. "

"Talk about my world..."

So, I got a little stuck.

In stories that transfer to different worlds that are common in Japan, the protagonists who have transferred use modern knowledge they know to reform the fantasy world, even when they are about the age of high school students.

So destructive is the word "modern knowledge cheat".

But think about it, I've lived a life full of games while being a college student, and I don't even have the knowledge that regular high school students naturally deserve to know.

I don't know how to formulate black gunpowder, the art logic of ancient martial arts, how to make miso and soy sauce, the military methods used in past wars, the blade forging process, or even the correct way to create compost.

Far from modern knowledge cheats, we only have poor knowledge.

"No, no, no? Then nothing..."

When I remain silent, you accept it as a rejection, and Suthern says that in a lonely way.

I dared deny it.

"No, I'm sorry! It's not like I can't.

It's just that it's not funny what I can tell you.

It doesn't help much, it just doesn't matter... "

But Suthern just laughed happily when he heard it.

"So, that's okay.... That's fine."

That's good, I wasn't sure what the word meant, but that settled my belly.

Without thinking, let the momentum open your mouth.

"Uh, well, what shall we talk about first?

... Right. I know I've said this before, but there's no demons in my world, and there's no magic.

Instead, science and technology are developing… "

Then I told Suthern all I know about Japan, about the modern era.

It's fresh that Suthern actively turns to the listener, who has more to one-sided his story since the time of the game, and my mouth moved smoothly.

It's amazing how many topics slept in me.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't blatant "science and technology" such as the fact that what Southern ate was an automobile with planes, or a missile or a nuclear weapon, but a lot more loving, life-intensive than that.

Fully automatic washer dryer or microwave.

Mail order, frozen food, and then a couple ramen.

Is it your love that the range of interests is somewhat biased in the diet?

Then......

"There hasn't been a war in Japan for a while, and I think it's quite a rich and peaceful country, but there are social problems and problems that arise because it's peaceful."

"Social issues?

"Uh, I don't know what to say. For example…"

Is it rude when I say this and unexpectedly?

Suthern also expressed interest in such social issues as an ageing society, an unequal society, Nite and the increase in unmarried people.

Then, just for a moment in the flow, we also talked about gaming obsolescence and bottlers and such.

... No, of course I haven't gotten that far.

And so we lay down in one bed, chatting for hours without other love,

"So the difficulty with download sales...... Southern?

"... Mm-hmm."

When I looked sideways suspiciously at the lack of a response, our sealed witch, at some point, rested in peace.

As far as this happily loose mouth goes, it looks okay now.

"Good night, Southern."

So I snapped small too, closed my eyes and immediately fell into the abyss of sleep.

"... n"

My consciousness was awakened by the sudden sensation of heat.

Blurry, I feel signs that something is in front of me.

It was just a hundred million robberies to think about, and when I tried to keep going into the world of sleep,

- Good morning, Soma.

My consciousness can be raised out of all sorts by such strange voices as I have heard many times, but never heard one.

I slowly opened my eyes,

"... Huh?

I looked straight at the sight I saw right in front of me.

"Mitty, a?

A familiar, but only once, girl's face.

On her face with the mask off, when I snapped,

"Yeah. Morning, Soma"

Again, she greeted with pleasure.

But not as far as I'm concerned.

The consciousness that had wandered awakened at once.

"Why? What about the mask?

Laughing at how I was in a hurry, she stuck her left arm out.

"This' ring soul bracelet 'seals souls and memories, so it can also be used to aid in the sealing of evil gods.

If there are two of them, it's okay to remove the mask for a little while. "

"Yeah, right."

Speaking of which, I think Suthern had something to say before, if there was another one of these bracelets.

Is that what happened?

"Uh, but Saza...... Mitia"

When I finally said it, she laughed small.

"Southern, that's fine. When Soma calls me Mitia, I'm a little tickled."

"Then, Southern, okay?"

There's something uncomfortable about calling her Southern after removing her mask, but still, she's Southern, not Mitia, to me.

I decided not to hesitate to let them call me that.

"Why did you take the mask off on purpose? You just wanted to prove that it's okay to take the mask off, didn't you?

When I asked, Suthern squeezed his expression.

"I have something important to tell you. I thought I should tell this story when I wasn't wearing a mask, when I wasn't affected by evil gods."

"Right..."

Southern masks are meant to dissipate the power of sealed evil gods on the table.

While wearing it, it affects my personality.

It won't mean that I'm going to be another person altogether, but it would also mean that it's an unacceptably important story.

"And..."

"Hmm?"

So, Suthern's face, which was serious, collapses like just a little light.

"The face I see most when Soma wakes up is not the mask, I wanted it to be the real face."

Suddenly something strange was said and my breath was stuck.

I don't know, it would be against the rule to say that with that face off the mask.

When I look at it, I feel like I've said a dialogue that I'm not even used to by Southern, and I'm turning my face bright red.

When I truly coughed to get rid of the strange air, I rushed ahead.

"So, what's the big deal?

"That's right. It wasn't me, my..."

"I think it's easier said than done."

I'm not going to go out of my way to say that back to Southern, but I'm going to say that.

Sutherne seemed to think about it for a while.

"Right....... yeah. After all, not just because of the mask, but because of me, too."

Just a little lonely, but just a little happy, I said so.

"Isn't that okay? I don't care what they say about you being all a lie when it was just Southern."

"... soma"

Though there was the influence of evil gods, I've lived all these years with a completely different personality, and it wouldn't even mean that my original girlfriend wouldn't change anything.

Now she must be, the old Mitia and the masked Southern, about halfway through that personality.

I don't think that's a good thing or a bad thing, I guess that's what it is.

After seeing me as serious again, and saying thank you, Sutherne recreated her serious face and went on.

"I think Soma, who saw my memory, knows, but my right arm is still sealed with shards of the Evil God.

Besides, even if this shard is defeated, the force residing in the shard will fly to the body and the seal of the body will be unsealed.

In order to free my clan in a true sense, I have no means but to defeat not only this shard, but the Evil God completely. "

"... oh"

"But unfortunately, I can't even take this guy down on my own. So I want you to help Soma."

So, Suthern bowed his head.

"- Please. Defeat the Evil God with me."

Of course, the answer was decided.

Even Southern is one of mine.

There's no way you can abandon that.

It just smelled a little, to be honest about it.

"... there's a dungeon called Sky City, far north of here."

"Huh?"

Pretending not to notice Southern confused by a sudden change of subject, I go on with the words.

"The core of the Evil God shard is in a high place.

Without those Tenma shoes out there, it's hard to fight.

… so "

I'm making my eyes squeeze, Suthern.

towards that face, giggling clumsily.

"So, yeah. I'll help you later, if you like."

Stay away from my words.

But she nodded happily,

"Thanks!"

And I laughed.

I thought this was the end of the conversation, but there was more to it.

"Um, right. Actually, there's just one more thing I need to tell you."

"What do you want to say?

To my words, Suthern nods as if illuminated.

"Yeah. I had a dream, too, so I wanted Soma to hear it."

"Dream, what..."

I didn't expect words like that to come out here.

Surprised by the unexpected development, Suthern spoke happily from the bottom of his heart.

"Until now, I've only been thinking about such blurry things as not wanting to do anything vaguely difficult, or knocking down evil gods to make it easier.

But when I heard about Soma, about the world of Soma, about the peaceful world, I knew exactly what I wanted to aim for. "

Speaking resolutely, but at the same time vividly, she lived with a strong will that she did not have until yesterday.

"Of course, I don't think the world will be at peace any time soon, even with the evil gods gone.

This world and the Soma world are different, and I think there are things that don't work that way.

... but I've made up my mind. "

It's probably not a bearer of seals, living in this world, dreaming of being one girl.

Turn your sparkling eyes towards me at all costs, spread your hands all over me,

"I, with Soma, will defeat the Evil God. So, make the world peaceful, and then, you know..."

She pronounced herself exalted, shaping her leaking thoughts as if to bump into a flood of feelings.

"- I'll be Neat!!
