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

"Adventurer, well done. We've got this far! But the demon tribe of the west can be united..."

"Holy shit!!

"Higgyyyyyyy!!

Look at the boss who disappeared the moment I waved my right hand, and I drop my shoulder.

"I didn't expect even this guy to win"

Blurring, I dropped my eyes on the right hand weapon...

What I have is a blue plant similar in shape to a munchkin... it seems to be a cat.

"Hmm. There's no weaker weapon in the boulder than this."

The cat said, "Weaker than a stone! It is a weapon permeated by cat ear cat players with the phrase" because of its terribly weak attack power and its special ability to beat any opponent and only reduce endurance one attack at a time, it is a weapon that is commonly used as a hands-down weapon, mainly used when hitting NPCs, etc.

I was just wondering what other games would do that, but in cat ears and cats, it's very valuable to be able to beat NPC intact.

These weapons that can take knockbacks and hates with no damage are treasured because they are convex in payback to passing monsters in the middle of a dueling event with those players, or they get hammered by a mysterious behavior that renders the event unproductive, or they have to punch and omit the behavior that bugs occur.

Whatever it is, if this weapon is still there, it's already good luck.

I shook the cat, left and right, and sighed as I followed it and watched the cat ears of the mizuki moving slowly.

The cause of my overkill of the boss, of course, is the instrument in my left hand.

Weaponizing a fortified evil god, this' Lute Diz Astor 'raises all the basic talent levels of humans you have like assholes.

With this boosted talent, catfish like harmless chunks of humans and animals will also turn into a weapon of bombing confirmation.

As for this evil weapon, I have trouble handling it, to be honest.

Whatever you do, it's not very user-friendly because it makes you excessively wary, but it's going to be a big deal in case someone steals it or even puts it in the wrong hands.

As a result, I have to hold it without letting go, and I'm starting to produce a lot of pathetic bomb corpses.

"... but well, it's time to end, dashi"

I snapped small and only in my mouth, and I looked back.

"Maki. This is the last dungeon on the list, right?

"Huh? Ugh, yeah. That's it. You're annoying."

Even though I wonder about Maki's slightly impenetrable attitude, I feel like my shoulder load has gone down.

After the uproar of the evil gods is cleaned up.

We ventured all kinds of places to waste our time and dominated all kinds of dungeons.

I intend to come back to this world, but that unfortunately cannot be said to be certain.

We can say that defeating the Evil God has cleared up the biggest threat to this world, but there are countless events and so on that in some cases suck things happen to cats and cats.

I wanted to keep whatever could threaten this world as little as I could.

It's just that the end of everything comes.

We're originally a high ranked party at a level where we can complete the game, and besides that, I have the strongest weapon made of evil gods, and this can't be the case with a struggling enemy.

Oh, no, just once.

When Ena, equipped with a compassionate ring, fell and her weapon soaked out, Suthern's head almost walked nearby, red fruit, almost bounced off, but that's about the pinch.

I wrote it down on the list and gave it to Maki as long as I could remember where the offense needed to be, but it ended in this dungeon.

Now, for the time being, the cat ear cat world will not perish...... I wonder.

No, the cat and ear cat is the area where I can't be sure if I put up all this precautions.

"Shall we go home, then? Leila and the others are waiting."

Nevertheless, there is nothing more I can do in this world.

Now I can go home with my chest up.

- We must have saved the world.

... That's what you're supposed to think.

For some reason, my legs were heavier on my way home today than usual.

That was the same with my buddies, who usually also shut up about the rap Maki and seemed to be thinking about something and putting it in.

The monsters that hold back the way because they knock us down to go also don't show up, and we quietly keep our feet toward the entrance with a whimsical silence.

"Nevertheless, I'm totally used to exploring dungeons."

It was Ena who broke the silence with a bright voice.

"I used to be a little bad at dungeons. I feel like I could be some kind of adventurer on one end now, too!

When I say that, I try to hold my fist in a deliberately exaggerated gesture.

However, that certainly reminded me of my first adventure.

"Speaking of which, Ena really felt like a novice dungeon to the first one.

Trying deliberately to solve a trick to build a scaffold without crossing an interrupted path with skill, or moving on before throwing an explosive gem into a hallway where there might be a trap... "

"Yes, no. Is that stranger to Mr. Soma's strategy? I think it's still weird, but you're used to it..."

Ena giving a badly toothed response for some reason.

Maybe it's even more illuminating now remembering my immature self in the beginning.

"But even though it was only a few weeks, walking around the dungeon became the norm with this member.

It's kind of like a everyday, natural sight... "

So just a little, the tone of Ena's voice changes.

Such a voice, charming irreplaceable memories, that you miss something important.

"But that's over for today, too, right?"

Ena, who speaks so loudly.

That look on my face, keep smiling.

"I don't think I'll ever walk like this again with everyone from tomorrow. Something, mundane, kimochi..."

"... E, na?

However, from those eyes there were puffy, tears spilled.

"What? Oh, that? Hey, what's going on? Oh, that? That?"

I guess it's the first time you've noticed me telling you.

Ena muddles her own cheeks like she was in a hurry and continues to smile desperately.

"Oh, I'm sorry, come on. It's not. I didn't mean to..."

"Bad! Do something insensitive..."

"Chi, no! Mr. Soma, it's not bad! I'm fine! 'Cause it's okay!

To prove the word.

Ever since, Ena's been laughing.

But until we leave the dungeon...

Nor did the tears stop.

"Mitsuki. Hey, from now on, can you hang out with me?

I had just arrived in the Wang capital, and I cut myself out.

"To me, is it?

It was a mitzvah with catfish in his hand, but he pointed his ear as if surprised by my words.

A sunny thunderbolt, like I said, but this is what I've been deciding from the beginning.

"Oh. Finally, there's just one more dungeon I'd like to attack."

"Then all of us..."

Like whispering a talking mite,

"... ok. Ena, we follow"

The apple that was following me behind him in silence, that's what he undertook.

I give thanks in my heart to the apple for drawing my feelings without saying anything.

"Thanks.... let's go then. Mitsuki."

"Okay. If you say so much."

Mitsuki seemed somewhere uninterrupted, but when I repeated myself, he honestly nodded.

That's how I left Ena to the rest of my crew, and I left King's Capital once more with only Mitsuki.

Its destination is…….

"... here"

"Is this... a phantom stone cave?

I nodded at the words.

"For a long time, I've been making up my mind. When we're done touring the dungeon, we'll end up here."

- A phantom stone cave.

There is a dungeon where you can take jewels that are the material of a wedding ring called phantom stone.

It is a place to visit to perform a marriage event with Mitsuki in the game.

At the same time, it's where Mitsuki, who's here now, promised to go with me.

Promise, it was a one-sided thing, and there are parts of me that honestly can't stop about marriage and stuff like that, but it's still my heart that I wanted to come to this place with Mitsuki.

If that was going to be a memory, there was also a desire to make the best ring out of phantom stone and give it to you.

"Well, let's go."

Somehow raising my voice, I took a step toward the Phantom Cave.

But for some reason, I don't have the footsteps of Mitsuki that should follow.

"Mitsuki......?

Looking back, Mitsuki had stopped at the same spot as earlier.

For some reason he stared at the phantom stone cave as if frightened, and shook his neck to the side with a gruesome tone.

"… today, let's not"

"Duh, what's going on? You always said you wanted to come.

I'm surprised. Even if I return the word, Mitsuki just shakes her head again with an unspoken grin.

"Sure, this is an important place, but it's also not the place I really need to go right now.

Even though there was no special hassle, it was also the return of attacking one dungeon.

I'm worried about Ena, and I think we should leave for today. "

That's all, it's where I was supposed to wish.

This is where you were supposed to invite me to come over and over again.

I don't understand that attitude, and I'll go further.

"Beh, nothing, you don't have to worry about me, do you?

I'm not forced to go out with you, because I don't want to have the remainder of my heart... "

"- Then why don't you do it!

When the sharp voice of Mitsuki stopped, the words in her mouth.

"If you had any remnants of your heart, you'd think you'd have to come back to me again, wouldn't you?

Then you don't have to live up to your promises!

"Mitsuki......"

Taking my gaze, Mitsuki bites her lips tight.

"I don't want any form.

He just wants you to stay by his side...!

That's all I said, and Mitsuki looked up like a hack.

Then just for a second or so, close your eyes,

"... a joke, yes"

And I chuckled.

"No, a joke, I mean..."

"I seem to have taken my promise more seriously than you thought, so I wanted to tease you a little bit.

…. Let's go home now. "

Mitsuki's sincerity, I don't know.

However, when I was pressured into the eyes of a mistletoe like I realized, all I could do was return the word "oh".

I wanted to buy something, and I broke up with Mitsuki, who stopped by the city, and went back to the mansion,

"Wow!?

Something white flew towards me at the gate, and I flew in a hurry.

Something white went past me and becharred at the gate, making a noise and sticking.

... this is a rag.

And the wet guy.

I'm glad I didn't hit you.

"Hey, why are you avoiding it!

"No, you avoid it, that's"

From the shadow of the gate, the killer of this prank showed his face.

"So, why did you do this? Southern."

When I asked with an angry eye, Suthern seemed frightened for only a moment,

"Hmm! Originally, you and I are rivals! I signed up for a duel!

"Who's the competitor, who is. It's the gloves you throw in the first duel."

What happened and did that happen?

He's a jerk, anyway.

But well, just say it's just fine.

"Look, it's payback"

As I say, I will unleash the item in my bag toward Suthern.

"Hih!? Ki, you!

Taking a direct hit from the top of his mask, Suthern teased his shoulder, but stopped moving when he noticed what I threw.

"Ko, this is..."

"Oh. It's a penetrating glove."

"Huh? But the penetrating glove is on your weapon..."

Surprising Southern, but the answer is simple.

"I found you selling it again the other day. I think you liked it, so I thought I'd buy it."

"Well, then, this is..."

"It's a gift. I'll do it to you."

When I made that clear, Suthern stared at the penetrating glove, seemingly complicated.

I thought I'd be very happy, but would I have guessed it off?

"You cheat, you cheat. If you get something like this, you can't try a duel anymore."

"No, you don't have to fight without anything."

Anyway, I'm just not sure what this guy's thinking.

I said it in a voice that included my shuddering, but Suthern didn't seem to have heard it.

After watching the glove for a while, he starts talking pompous.

"... really. When I won the duel, I was going to tell you to stop going back to the original world.

But no more. "

Susan sticks her finger at me when she puts her penetrating glove in her hands like it's important.

"I am the Great Sorcerer, Master Suthern! If you don't come back from the other world, I'll find you!

Shake and live, frightened by my shadow! Ha-ha-ha!

Maybe that was this guy's ale to me.

If so, clumsiness is so clumsy that it's not enough.

"... ha. I really don't know about you."

Either way, this is how Southern will continue to live.

Even if I'm gone, all the time.

"I'm expecting you at best."

So I walked into the mansion without Suthern laughing so hard...

Just before the mansion door closes.

I pretended I didn't hear a small noise from my back.

As soon as I entered the mansion and went to the hall, my golden hair rushed towards me.

"Soma! I was worried because I was late! I'm ready for dinner!

Unusual grin Layla.

But that smile just stung me in the chest now.

While we were out there, Leila kept the mansion safe.

So, she doesn't know just her.

Time to explore the dungeon is over.

That I'm going back to my old world...

"Layla, you know what?"

I don't know how to cut it out, but when I'm choosing words,

"I know, I know.... you're going home now,"

Leila opened her mouth that way, as if to get ahead of it.

"Hey, why?"

"Because it's about Soma. That's all I know."

She smiles a little, lonely, but somewhere proud and looks at me with an unwavering eye.

"Um, right. Breaking up is very, very lonely though.

But I'm also most happy that Soma is happy, because I realized that. "

"Leila......"

I couldn't tell her what to say with a smile on my face.

"Oh, I forgot! Yakan, leave it on fire!

Hey, I made it extraordinarily luxurious for the memorial today, so eat up!

I just drop off my rushing back.

Get up, and how long has it been since then?

"... soma"

A voice rang from side to side and I realized that I had stood there for a long time.

"Apple......"

Is it because I've been watching my people grieve all day?

The moment I saw her walking over this way, a lost mind arose.

That's why I asked the apple.

"Hey, the apple. You still disagree that I'm going back to my old world?

After listening, I regret it.

This kind of question, no matter how you answer it, just puts them in trouble.

Did the apple have trouble responding?

Silence for a while......

"... n"

And then, for some reason, he gave me a pinky.

"Apples?"

I was confused because I didn't know what I was trying to do, and the apple layered over me.

"... Enough already. Damn it, do it."

"Promise?"

"... absolutely, come back"

I wonder why.

To the thought of the quiet words, to the heat, I felt my chest get hot.

I only knew one way to reward that thought.

So......

"... ok"

On my little finger, I gently tangled my own finger.

And with all the thought and certainty I can, I swear.

"- I promise, I will. I'm definitely going back to my old world.

Then, absolutely, I'll be back in this world!

When I said that out and let go of my fingers, the apple was small, really small, but lifted the edge of my mouth,

"... n"

And I said it as usual, and I laughed.

- That's how we spent the rest of our days biting, and that day finally came.

The place of return to the original world was determined to be the courtyard of the Arken Mansion, the hall where the theft (attempted) of that ring took place.

What I'm trying to use for my return is the forced logout bug Synthetic Prohibition Death Flash.

Synthetic Prohibition Death Flash is a phenomenon caused by wide area magic: stardust flares and bubble chains.

I don't know if the average person who just took the streets would have trouble eating a magical entanglement, and I don't think so, but I do have trouble influencing someone who just happened to see Death Flash.

As a result, an arrow of white feathers stood in the closed space at the Arken mansion without any other risk of annoyance.

"... well, at last, I wanted to talk to that wasting maid again."

Remembering the face of Lilm, a cautionary stick dressed as a maid of honor, the culprit of the Arken Mansion incident, I prepare to take off the Cat Ear Mansion.

Even though I said I'd give it away, Mitsuki and Ringo are going to continue to live here, and I'm just going to collect my personal belongings.

That would also be over in just a few dozen minutes if I had an adventurer bag and I feel somewhat lonely.

When I opened the door sparing the remnants, an apple stood in the hallway.

Honestly, it freaks me out a bit, in conjunction with the horror western atmosphere.

"... Oops, did you?

There's no way you can move on me like that, only an apple asks my pace.

When I nodded silently and cocky, without saying anything more, the apples lined up next to me.

Looking at the chicken-shaking blue hair on the side, speaking of which, it was just the apple and the two of us when we came to this mansion, I was remembering.

Then it's these two at the end, because maybe it's destiny.

"At first, I thought I'd come to a hell of a place."

It's a place we spent a long time together, albeit only for a few months.

With no words, do a final look around with the apple.

Every place is packed with memories, and every time I remember, I feel my chest packed.

After taking plenty of time to go around all the rooms, I said goodbye to the mansion.

The departure came to the Ryden's and the aunts of the eight hundred houses, and even the king, and gave them a grand drop off.

When you leave King's Capital after a luxurious drop-off, the rest of us are the only ones from here on out.

Mitsuki on the apple, Suthern on Ena, Leila and Kuma I.

Together with my irreplaceable colleagues, Maki and I will continue down the road to Arken Mansion.

On the road, there was no conversation.

I didn't realise that in a few more hours I would be breaking up with these best people.

If someone put "I want you to stop going back to the original world" in their mouth, there was such a sign that the determination that should be strong was going to cut the weir and collapse.

However, as a result......

None of our people would open their mouths, and we arrived safely at the Arken Mansion.

I've already talked it through.

When I got to the hall, I said hello to the Arkens and rented the courtyard. But I thought I'd be in the original world soon.

"Is that it? Just Lilm, is it?

Only one wasted maid waited at the Arken Mansion.

When she greets us with few words, she says, "Come here," and invites us into the hall.

"This..."

Seeing what was available there, I looked to my surprise.

The passing dining room was decorated with handcrafted decorations and lined with a host of lavish dishes just flooded from the table.

"For the last day or so, we want you to enjoy stretching out your wings with your friends."

Lilm's words make my eyeballs unwittingly hot.

"That one, those guys..."

Everywhere a favorite and moderating Arken family figure rises to the back of the brain.

When they got ready for the party for us, they said it was time for their family to go somewhere so they wouldn't get in the way.

"This maid of honor today... The Wonder of Sexual Existence Lillum will be at your service! Please, everyone, enjoy your last day!

Even as I mouthed such a dialogue with my soot face, I fell in the middle of the room with Batan when I walked out to serve him quickly, still wasting my maid of honor. Yum?

But including that, I loved this Arken family.

"Soma......"

I had a cat ear sticking out of my head at an apple gaze like I was expecting something.

"You can't just ignore me because I'm here."

"Mr. Soma! Then..."

I nodded to Ena, who made her face shine.

"- Departure, tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the day!

Cutting my words off, there was some cheer that included energy, and our last supper began.

That, the last day......

At the first and last party before our return, there was so much we couldn't talk about.

It's just that we laughed, made noise, and cried for the rest of our lives there.

Eventually the night went down and we fell asleep with nature as if the power had fallen...

- I woke up so loud that it was the end of the world.

Sleeping heads awaken in an instant in a series of familiar sounds that get more and more intense.

"This sounds...!

I don't have time to think about anything.

I do my best to run over to the window and open it.

There are no signs of people in the backyard you can see from there, and the sound is coming from the opposite side.

That means......

After finishing my judgment in an instant, I ran out to the other side of the hall, the courtyard.

The killer, who broke the silence in the morning, was on his way in the courtyard.

"Hey, why!? My magic was supposed to succeed..."

"Oh, that's crazy! Why did you disappear? Now..."

Seeing that, I leak a soothing exhale.

"- Stardust flares are not supposed to be used by the two operators at the same time. I don't know what kind of program you're putting together, but when another human uses Stardust Flare during use, the effects are taken that way, and the effects of the first Stardust Flare disappear."

Speaking up, the two turned around like they had been played.

"Suthern. maki"

The source of the sound was these two.

More precisely, Stardust Flare, the most powerful magic used by these two men, created that devastating sound.

"... you tried Death Flash."

When I asked, Suthern got upset and Maki nodded his face.

Death Flash is a bug that occurs in a combination of two intense magic effects.

However, due to the bug held by Stardust Flares, only two overlapping Stardust Flares will not occur.

That's why I got the magic of the Leila event bubble chain until I risked it, but Mayuki and Suthern didn't know about the Stardust flare flaw.

Me, Maki, and Suthern are the three masters of Stardust Flare.

Maki probably thought he could reproduce Death Flash without me if he even asked for Southern cooperation.

"... so-so, ma"

I walk toward Maki, who sneers at me.

"How could you do this?

"So, because I know! How much Soma cared about her time here! Because we all know how sad the apples are that they're not going to be around!

Maki snaps her words as she almost cries.

"Really, I always knew. He said he always wanted to be in the game world. Still trying to get back because I'm here, right? So......!

"So you just have to go back to the original world by yourself. Yeah, you thought?

To my question, Maki nodded with tears in his eyes.

"You're an idiot, you are. Sure, if it weren't for Maki, I probably wouldn't have said anything about going back to my old world. But..."

On that crying face, I punch my fist.

"To me, going back to Japan with Maki is as important as spending time with everyone here."

"Soma...... But, but..."

"Besides. I believe in it. I will find another way to come to this world. Here."

When I removed the items I had prepared from the porch, I pushed them into Maki's mouth, which I was still trying to recruit.

"Hih!? Ho, ho..."

"One of those conceived hand tags for me to come back to the world over here. It's a special candy ball."

Ignoring my questionable gaze, I looked back.

"It's time, okay"

"What!? Mi, guys......"

There, at some point, all my friends were in full swing.

That's all the noise I made.

It would be natural.

I made a conscious smile by dampening my dry lips and putting my strength into my hands that were about to tremble.

"Looks like you're all here. As you can see, I don't know what I'm gonna do when I take my eyes off this guy. It's earlier than planned, but I think it's time to give it a try."

"Soma?! So, but...!

In contrast to the werewolf Maki, all the other companions nodded with a prepared face.

That's how......

"... soma. Oh, my God."

Apples, in few words.

"When we get back, we'll go to the Phantom Cave together. It's a promise, isn't it?

Mitsuki, smile.

"Absolutely, come back! It's a promise!

Ena, be strong.

"Really, I don't want to leave. But, but... come on in."

Layla, in tears.

In each way, you spared me a goodbye.

The last time I let my gaze flow sideways, I meet Suthern with serious eyes.

"I... no. Anytime. Fit."

Sweet for the words, I cut my gaze off from Southern, threw "candy balls" into my mouth just like I did to Maki, and I was ready.

Slowly, look up at the sky.

My heart hits the early bell.

- Does it really work?

- If I could go back to Japan, what would I do first?

- Really, can I leave?

- Will everyone cry when I'm gone?

The mess and the outrageous thought fill my head in an instant.

Still......

The option of staying didn't come to mind.

Deep, long, breathe.

Align your gaze with your neighbor, Maki.

Laughing at her just once looking nervous, I raise my hands heavenly.

At the same time, he recognized at the edge of his consciousness that his neighbor, "...", raised his hands.

So I scream, without any worries or strays.

- Bubble Chain!!

- Stardust flare!!

Two voices, overlapping.

The sky is dominated by light.

(Beautiful, it's...)

An explosion of stardust flares and bubble chain bubbles crash, mix and overlap as if dancing.

In less than a few seconds, the intensity of the effects will be the best and the results will be immediate.

"Apples. Mitsuki. Southern. Ena. Leila."

So I, at the end of the day, look around at all my people...

"Thanks, guys. Then..."

Burn that figure, their presence, into their hearts, and….

- See you later.

The world was dyed white.
