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

"Life is a dream of a night, who the hell would have said that?

Looking back, I think what's happened in the last few months has been something I really wanted to dream about.

"So far, so many things have happened..."

Me, Sagara Soma was just a regular game-loving student until a year ago.

But last July.

From now on, we will enter the world of fictional games, where we adventured with the cat-eared swordsmen and faceless lightning wizards who were characters in the game, the masked awesome magicians on the runaway adventurers, and then the slightly shitty researchers of blonde hair, to defeat demon kings and evil gods and finally become heroes who saved the world.

It's just...

"Does that end in 'Tomorrow', too"

After a few months of defeating the Evil God, we spent a full day defeating monsters everywhere, sparing our comrades farewell, searching for new magic books in the library.

To be honest, I don't want to break up with my people, and I still don't have all the things I want to do in this world.

But today is the 30th of March.

It's before the 7th Eve, July 1st, that I've come to this world, so it's been over six months.

If we stay here any longer, we'll be in the way of life in the original world.

"This is the tide, right?"

I don't tell anyone. I snap like that and look at the clock that was placed on my desk with a glimpse of me.

- 11: 55 p.m.

The date will change soon.

Then finally, the last day of my life in this world will come.

What goodbyes await.

I don't know if we can make it back to the world.

But, please, if you wish...

"- May tomorrow be the best day for everyone..."

When I offered such a prayer, I closed my eyes and traveled to the world of my dreams.

"It's the last morning, but it's normal."

I couldn't sleep last night, or when I woke up tomorrow, I wondered how you were feeling, what a surprise to me because I was thinking about it.

- 7: 07 am.

Somehow I woke up at a good time ahead of me. I wake up whining about that.

I breathed fresh morning air all over my chest and stretched out.

"... let's go"

Time is finite.

On a day like this, especially.

As soon as I get up to speed, I'm leaving the room and heading to the dining room.

… but

"Apples?"

I opened the door and went one step further and found a familiar blue in the hallway and stopped.

"... was there"

One of my people said so while sitting in the hallway.

It's an apple, a former princess who manipulates the magic of thunder.

"Do you have something to do?

When I asked, the apple shook its head small to the side.

"... come with me, come with me."

"Oh well."

Even for me, there's no reason to say no.

Apples are my people, members I've met relatively quickly since I came into this world.

Technically, we met later than Mitsuki or Suthern, but that doesn't change the value of our people.

…………

…………

Time without conversation ensues.

However, silent time with apples was not a bad thing with that.

That's why I feel like sparing this time to run out.

- No, it's already a decision.

When I was renewing my resolve, I went to the dining room at the same time as I had weighed.

"Good morning!

As soon as I entered the dining room, a voice greeted me.

When I turned my gaze, my people were already waiting there.

She is a runaway adventurer named Ena.

We once met in a town called Lamlic, and we broke up once when we went to King's Capital, but there was so much going on that we were to act together again.

"Good morning. Maki says he'll be here after he runs errands at the castle."

Then, speaking that way in a calm voice was Mitsuki Shark, a cat-eared swordsman.

He's one of those people I've been adventurous with for a long time, and he boasts the arms of a sagging sword.

"Morning, Soma! Breakfast is ready."

Plus.

That's what I came from the kitchen for, Leila.

She's also one of those people who started acting together from the beginning, and she likes me, but love is a little heavy.

This is how I ask for cooking and so on now, but originally...

"Speaking of which, wasn't Leila's main business a study of the ruins? I don't see you going to the ruins, but are you okay over there?

"Hehe hehe. Because I have an important job of looking at Soma's life from morning to good night, 360 days a year."

"Oh well..."

Cold sweat on Leila's dialogue, no matter what.

Oh, by the way, a year is three hundred and sixty days, which is characteristic of a cat ear cat.

The original world is around thirty or thirty-one days a month, so I guess the guys who made the cat ear cat thought that the year had three hundred and sixty-five days, but they didn't need to reproduce it in the game.

A month has only thirty days in every month, and therefore a year is three hundred and sixty days less than the original world.

So I realized I didn't have enough of the most important members.

"I heard about Maki, but what happened to Suthern?

Mr. Suthern doesn't seem to be awake yet.

I sigh at Mitsuki's words with.

Suthern is able to see, but weak in the morning is flawed in the balls.

By the way, Suthern is one of my people, and I can tell you that we've been dating a very long time, given the time we met.

Originally named Mitya, she was a witch to seal the shards of the Evil God, but she traveled to her chest with a tragic determination, where she met us destined.

I always wear a mask, but it is a seal and the face underneath is quite beautiful.

He was just a witch, and his magical arm is superb, and he's good at fire and dark magic.

Also, for me to return to the original world, I need to activate the "Synthetic Prohibition Death Flash" which combines certain magic.

The magic that Southern uses, Stardust Flare, is essential.

Other than that, I'm counting on him...

As I sighed, there was a doozy noise and someone jumped into the room.

"Maki? I thought you were in the castle..."

"It's not the other way around, soma! Shh, I found something amazing!

That's what she said and made a scene, Maki.

A cousin who grew up in the same world as me, a student who came to this world with me.

I'm trying my best to get back to the world for Maki...

"Oh, hey, Maki! That's..."

Now, there was something so shocking in front of me that I forgot about that.

Somehow, what Maki took out was a machine that couldn't be in this world, that looked familiar.

"- Isn't that a bouillet machine!!

Because it was the gaming machine that brought us into this world.

"Well, so, where was this?

"It's a castle treasure trove. Besides, I looked for five of these. What the hell are we gonna do?

I don't care what I do...

"- If there's a console there, we'll have to do it!

So we're all supposed to play the game.

"Shh, it's amazing! Your body can move as if it were real!

Ena, who started the game with me, makes a scene, but, well, that's not surprising.

That's what a bouillet machine is in the first place.

- Bueal machine.

This is a dedicated machine for playing Bouillet games and by using this you can get into the game world.

I'll skip the detailed principles, but in short, would it be easy for my colleagues to understand if I explained that by shooting something like electric shock in the head, a magic device that transfers only the spirit to another world?

"... Hmm. That's a medium degree of completion. But I also think the feeling is a one-tempo delay."

After all, only Mitsuki is a master, and the machine can't seem to take advantage of that reaction.

But roughly everyone seemed to favorably embrace the world of bouillet games.

I tried to verify lightly too, but the cat ear cat moves seemed to work all the way through, and I could use all the divine speed cancellation moves and other kinky maneuvers.

Equipment and probably strength were no different than in the real world, and the miscellaneous fish walking there could be defeated with a single blow.

"But I wonder who built this machine"

Once again, think about that.

... No, think before you start the game, but when you move the game machine forward, your body hurts and you start the game before you think about it.

"I wonder if maybe someone magically reproduced it. Look, unlike Nihon, this world is underdeveloped, because magic is developing instead."

"I see, is that possible"

Except for me, if Maki, who knows the only bouillet machine, says so, maybe that's what it is.

Well, the details will be fine after you indulge in this game.

I think so, we explored the world of bouillet games...

"But this is a surprise."

As a result, it turned out to be surprising.

If you ask me, it was a place where the world of cats and ears and cats and our world fit together.

Anyway, there was even me and Maki's school in this game world, so I just had to be surprised.

And that's how I enjoyed playing games......

"Oh, that? Twelve o'clock already?

Looking at the clock, the time was already about to go around noon.

I'm passionate about the game and I seem to have stuck around too much.

"We need to get out there and start getting ready to go back to the original world! Guys, all you have to do is' log out 'to get out of this game. Now......"

I'm in a hurry to call on my people, but for some reason the reaction is dull.

"What's wrong with you? Quick, we have to... To say goodbye, even those who are waiting, are there..."

That being said, everyone just smiles and looks at each other in a nimble manner.

I don't see any movement at all.

And eventually he stepped forward, as Maki represented, and said:

"- Hey. Don't you have to go back to the original world anymore?

The moment I heard the words, my head turned white.

"Ma, ki? What are you talking about?

I'm telling you to go back to your old world for Maki.

But there's no way to keep that thought in mind, says Maki with a smile.

"Because even schools here are the food and facilities of the original world.

With this game, I don't think we have to bother going back to the original world. "

"No, but, but..."

"Right? Everyone (...) would think so too"

When Maki looks back and asks,

"... Mm. As Maki said."

"Sure. That's a word."

Agree with a firm nod to apples and mites.

- What's going on?

Instinct rings the alarm.

This is something, something's wrong.

"Hey. Soma. All the time, shall we live in this world?

"Mr. Soma. About me, Mr. Soma, all the time..."

With a grin somewhere, Leila, Ena drops by.

No, you can't!

You can't stay here like this!

That's what I intuited. I couldn't help but scream.

"- Logout!!

Then the world turns dark again.

My consciousness surfaced...

Horrible that the sight in my eyes was not in the game, but the usual view of the dining room.

Seeing it, it seemed like my buddies had logged out with me, waking up one after the other.

"Hey. Isn't this machine broken? I don't know..."

Rest assured, it was when I opened my mouth to Maki.

"Ah, get it? What, this...?

I realized my body was tied to a machine.

I try to get up surprised, but I'm tied tight and I can't move at all.

"Hey, why...!?

The one who answered the word was Maki, who was smiling, without moving to see how it was going.

As she rises away from the bouillet machine, she sighs at this.

"Ah. This machine, it was hard to make"

"Ma, ki...?

"This bouillet machine. I asked the castle craftsmen and the magicians to make it on special order. It was so hard."

Words I don't understand and don't want to understand.

But then, the question that was caught in the back of my mind dissolves.

A bouillet machine is a concept that cannot be found in this world.

There is no way that something that is not even recognized can be reproduced because it is impossible in terms of technology in a world where there is so much magic.

What's more, it's unnatural, no matter what you think, to have our school in the game.

But unless the Nihon people who know how it works were informed by Maki.

That's how it worked to have a bouillet machine here.

"Hey, why are you doing this! I'm in the original world for Maki..."

"So, yeah. I decided that we would do this in order not to return you to your original world."

I don't know what that means.

I went back to my old world, and Maki was with me.

How could you...?

"Because soma is! When Soma gets back to her original world, she'll just play games and forget about me anyway!!

"Oh, no..."

No, I couldn't say enough.

But that's why this is happening...

"Ma, wait! Then everyone else..."

"Everybody, it's the same. I didn't want you to go back to your old world, so I couldn't help but stay here."

Turning his gaze,

"Sorry, Soma"

"I'm sorry."

My people are going to apologize.

But it proved, paradoxically, that Maki's words were right.

"Oh, yeah! It's Suthern! What about him? He would..."

"Stupid, soma."

It was Maki's mockery that responded to my words in a glimmer of hope.

"Hey. Why do you think there's no Suthern on this occasion?

"Huh? Why, well, he's sleeping..."

Maki laughed with pleasure when he uttered the words as Mitsuki had heard them.

"Brrr! Off the hook! The answer was... when she was around - she disappeared because she was back in the original world."

"Become..."

What are you talking about, stupid?

I couldn't stick those words up my throat and put them in my mouth.

Swallow the sauce.

"Well, I'll get you some sleep. I feel sorry for you because you've been stuck with boulders."

"What..."

"So I'm just gonna get you to sleep.... Sleep"

The magic unleashed envelops my sight in darkness.

- Oh. This is a bad dream.

Without the art of resistance, my vision fell into darkness...

- Please, if you're dreaming, wake up...

"- Ha!!

I woke up there.

I jump out of bed, holding down my squeaking heart.

I don't even look around, I don't see Maki, I don't have a Bueal machine.

And looking at the clock......

- 7: 02 am.

And that means…….

"Was that a dream...?

As soon as I say it, my memory comes back to me.

... right.

Me, you were asleep last night after I saw the clock, and then you had some crazy dreams.

"... ha. Scared me."

But if you think about it, it's natural.

No matter how many of my people didn't want me to go back to my old world, there's no way I'm going to go out there with such hard means.

What's more, I'm resistant to state anomalies, but the magic of Sleep was working.

Even taking one of those events, it is definitely clear that what just happened was a dream.

"I wonder why I dreamed of that."

After all, he was getting nervous because it was his last day in this world.

Even though it was in my dreams, I need to apologize for doubting everyone for even a moment.

With that in mind, I'll be out of my room as soon as possible.

- Is that it?

While turning the door knob, discomfort only blurred the back of my brain for a moment, but I didn't even have time to think about what it was.

"- Soma!"

Because something black jumped towards me from the hallway.

"Southern!?

The only fellow girl who jumped on me was the one I hadn't seen in my earlier dream.

Besides...

- You don't wear a mask?

"Soma! Good!

I couldn't help but feel my heart pounding in my moist eyes looking up at me.

- Oh, calm down. The other guy is Suthern.

Though I think so, once I'm conscious, I can hardly fit the burn on my face.

The original Southern is a right-sealed witch of origins, and a super beautiful girl.

If it's true, it's someone I can't even talk to.

Besides...

(Yes, unexpectedly, big......!

My chest, which grew more than Suthern had ever assumed, was hitting my body in relation to clinging to me all the time.

Is it usually even wrapped around exposures due to the fact that I wear men's clothes?

Needless to say, Ena is definitely better at fighting than Maki, Ringo, etc!

Oh, my God, I was putting myself at ease...

"Quick! Run, Soma!

"What?"

Sutherne clinging to me, she said something unexplained.

"Oh, those guys, they say you're going back to your original world, so damn it...

And you run anyway!

I get a bad feeling about it.

It was in my dreams that Suthern was killed.

In this world of reality, such a stupid thing can't happen.

I think so, but I can't stop feeling bad.

But only his mouth was vomiting the opposite word.

"It's okay. You gotta be kidding me or something, I'm sure. There's no way those guys would do such a terrible thing."

"Yes, but..."

"Besides, assuming someone was thinking of doing something about me, what are you gonna do?

'Cause I have the strongest gear... that?

So I finally realized what was causing the discomfort earlier.

That's right.

It's true that until last night, the array I was supposed to have was everywhere...

"- Is this what you're looking for?

Slap your ears, cool voice.

"Mitsuki......?

It was Mitsuki Leech standing there.

My trusted people.

That should have been it.

But what's in its hands...

"Hehe. I fell into your room (...) so I picked it up"

"Lute diz aster......"

Equipment that gives the owner the strongest power with a lute that the Evil God has changed.

That was in her hands.

"Mitsuki, were you picking it up for me? Give it back, will you?

I wonder why.

"It's your fault. Because I'm paranoid that you will return to the original world, etc. before my death is over."

"Mitsuki? You're kidding, right?

Mitsuki, with a lute and a sword, laughs at me.

"Sure. I mean it all the time. Come on, let's go with the last fight."

My skin starts to poppy.

If Mitsuki with a lute turned to the enemy, he would never win.

The decision was for a moment.

"We're getting away!!

When I hold the Southern, I run through the hallway with a divine speed cancellation trip in the opposite direction as Mitsuki.

"So, soma! Put me down..."

"Don't be silly! It's okay! Lute won't speed you up. If it's just speed, I'm better..."

It was when I tried to reassure Suthern in my arms, and I almost said so.

Suddenly Suthern turns around.

"Soma!"

"Become!?

Lateral.

A thunderbolt "..." flies from the side of the hallway and hits me straight.

"Gu!"

There is no such damage.

But that powerful magic of thunder only stiffened my body for a moment, and we rolled into the hallway so we could get stuck.

This one, this one, make a noise, the blue shadow closing in on me that fell.

"Ma, sa... So are you."

Thunder that stops me for a moment.

There's only one person putting that stuff away.

"Ringo! Why even you!!

An apple with a white face like a ghost slowly points a finger at me.

"... roll down the soma, and neither will I. And then, all the time, we'll be together."

"No, that's it..."

If you become an apple, you may have no choice but to be killed.

Only for a moment, it was when I thought so.

"Uh-oh!!

A black shadow running past me.

The apple that Suthern tried to unleash thunderbolts on.

"Go, go, go! I tell you, wow!

"Southern! Damn it!

I get up and try to escape again.

But...

"Guh!"

It couldn't be fulfilled.

The throwing knife that flew in from somewhere was stuck in my leg.

"Mr. Soma, I'm sorry. I'm thinking about Mr. Soma, because I'm gonna leave your wife alone and tell her to go to the original world."

"E, na......"

You, too, I didn't know what to say.

There was just despair.

- Gradually, we caught up.

No, true despair, it seems, came from here.

Finally, my death fate caught up with me by the fiercest swordsman, Mitsuki Leech.

"Come on. It's over."

She is in a motion that even looks relaxed, wielding a sword......

"Damer!!

What jumped in there was a golden flash.

"Layla!?

Me and I, when I look at Mitsuki swinging a knife at me, he comes running over here with a desperate face.

Without fear of the sword she was swung up, she came running straight at me,

"Don't come! Run fast...... Huh?

- He stuck a knife in my chest.

"What, so..."

To me with a blushing voice, Leila laughs broken as she grinds the knife she stabbed in my chest.

"... because. I decided to kill Soma because it was definitely me."

That, too unsaved a response, I fell on my knees with Gakuri.

- I'm done.

I'm not even asleep right now, and I'm not using a bouillet machine.

I mean, this is true, true reality...

"………………………… no. Wait a minute, huh?

That's when it was.

The flash ran behind my head.

"Yesterday, was..."

Yesterday, it was March 30th.

And if you slept overnight from there, today should be March 31st.

... Yes.

If a year is considered in the "Japanese calendar" of 365 days, it should be so.

... but!

But this is a cat, ear, cat, game world.

I did hear that.

I did hear Leila say, "Three hundred and sixty days a year"!

"One year, three hundred and sixty days. And if..."

In order to make the date easier to understand, the cat ear cat world is fixed in thirty days for a month….

If March also ends by "thirty days" and there is no "thirty-one days"......

- Next on March 30th, April 1st.

It's April Fool's Day!

I mean......

"Was all that ever, an April Fool lie!!!

It's all a lie that I was stabbed and my people suddenly turned leopards.

That would be so.

This can't actually happen.

Oh, good, and I grated my stabbed chest...

"... no, right?

To the apple voice I heard, freeze.

That's what you're gonna do to me.

Even Mitsuki, who swung up his sword, leaned his neck.

"You say strange things. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year. Naturally, the day after March 30th is March 31st."

"Ugh, that's it! 'Cause I do say that a year is three hundred and sixty days..."

"It's..."

Tilted his neck, Mitsuki twisted the edge of his mouth flashly,

"- Didn't you even dream about it?

To that word, I understood everything.

... Yes, it is.

It was "in my dreams" that I recognized in the cat ear cat world that "a year is three hundred and sixty days" and only "a month is thirty days".

It wasn't real.

Why, I wonder if I was mistaken.

Cat Ear Cat is a game with a calendar that is perfectly consistent with the original world.

I can't believe a month is thirty days, there couldn't be.

Still, in hopes, I ask Mitsuki.

"Hey! Well, really, today..."

"Yeah. Not on April 1st, not"

To a kind, even merciful and unleashed word......

"Ah, ha. Ha..."

My heart is broken.

With the blood flowing from your body, you lose strength from your limbs and you don't even have the strength to run anymore.

"It's okay. I'll give you a ride."

"... Goodbye, Soma"

The words of the Mitsukis and the coolness of the blades protruding one after the other even seemed like salvation.

"Ah, gu..."

Like a winged specimen, I can be sewn to the floor.

I'm not even moving anymore, I'm tired of it.

"Ah..."

I can see the heat pulling away from my body.

Before I had an absolute feeling of death, there was only one thing that struck me head.

That's even a grudge against my people......

Not even the untrained left over from the original world...

- If this is the case, you can believe what Suthern said, I'm glad you did.

Just one, gratitude and regret to my beloved for staying on my side until the end.

And

"Sorry, dude. Southern......"

Finally, my consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

"Only me and the witch know that this world is a game. April Fool Special Edition."

And I read that far, and throw away a bunch of paper like that.

Clamping, making a modest noise, the bundle of paper fell around my lap, on the futon of the bed.

Then you perceived that...

"Whoa! You finished reading that? How'd it go? This time, I'm in the syndicate! I've been warming up ideas ever since you told me about a custom called April Fool! Or, thank you? In view of the promotion as the lead actor, I specifically tried to give you the honor to read and share your thoughts first..."

I look at the killer of this situation with my sleeping eyes as if Suthern had fallen asleep.

Let's just say I'm writing a novel with me as the star on my own without permission from the person, which is a hundred steps away.

If I see it as a game, I can't help but think about it. You can also ignore the fact that it gives me an asshole personality, which means creativity.

If the Japanese relationship stuff along the way, especially the VR game relationship, is cluttered and full of mistakes... I would never forgive it, but let's leave it now.

The setting is served only if you do something about Southern, well, you can miss it as a samurai pity.

The biggest problem...... is why you knocked people up at 3: 00 in the middle of the night just to make them read a novel like this.

"This time I made it a bad end with an impact focus, but still, well? I'm not a ghost either, and if you read this and think about yourself as a woman, you can make it a classic happy ending where the hall will flame after you get out of the mansion with me..."

"- Just go to sleep!

Can we hang out any longer?

I dunk-shoot and silence Suthern, who still says something about Gudagda, into a futon without question.

It was rampant in the futon for a while, but when I held it in as it was, it eventually lost resistance as well.

The disturbing bugs quiet and the quiet air of the early morning finally returns to the room.

"... ha. Now I can finally sleep."

In an effort to enjoy the peace I won, I dive into the futon as I move the novel from the top of my bed to my desk.

After all, sleeping twice is exceptional.

Is it because of drowsiness?

Turning to a futon that felt more muddy than it had just been, it was now time for me to travel correctly to the world of dreams.
