The Magician Wants Normality

- in the world of a certain horror game (Glenn perspective)

"Why don't we all play a horror game? The one who works together to get out!

In such a word Mizuki decided to enter the horror game. "Running away from the hall while being chased by a killer," which I think I was curious about because I had heard the name too.

Sometimes it was within another game that we had a discussion, and it was decided that all the avatars when participating in the horror game would remain familiar with their appearance.

However, horror games were different in clothing and so on because the time setting was modern. I keep my face and colors, but I don't have the ears and tail of a beast.

Son of a millionaire, about ten years old, with red hair and eyes (* occupation). That's what I am right now. My impression is quite different from mine in real life because the young tone stays the same.

Still, I wanted to behave as a young child in the game. Because my time with them was very comfortable.

"Hey, Mizuki. What does this' player profession 'mean? In my case, it doesn't make much sense."

If you pull the hem of your clothes for a moment and ask your friend next door, your gaze will be turned immediately.

"Hmm? Oh, you have different skills from the beginning. Glenn's" son of a millionaire "is limited to the appearance of a child, and there are few weapons that can be handled. But it'll be harder for trackers to target you, and there's got to be plenty of places to hide. If it's a horror movie, there's a good chance that the child will survive, so I guess it hangs with it."

"Heh, you have pros and cons"

Well, the point is, do things like unique skills and usable weapons make a difference? In my case, I guess I didn't realize that because there was no other option for me to look like a child.

"It was a setting where a millionaire was partying in a western museum on stage, wasn't it?

"Yes. If we don't make it a millionaire, we won't be able to do it in a setting called 'Players Gathered in the Western Hall'? If it's a hotel, it's natural to take precautions, and you can call the police. There are other professions like 'butler' and 'servant', but they have skills that match their positions."

Mizuki, who explains it, has green eyes on her silver hair, and her appearance is no different from that of a familiar figure. However, it was a simple but somewhat good-looking black long jacket with the same color trousers and white ascot tie.

Besides, they even hang non-framed glasses. Intelligent or smart-looking outfit. No, I know you're actually smart... but Mizuki is such a waste of wisdom, it's like you're misdirecting your wit.

This time, even if I remember the face of participating in the same game, all the people I can call my body are strangely distinctive. I'm the only one who participated for the first time, so Mizuki is supposed to accompany me as a commentator.

That was one of the reasons I decided to participate. Although I didn't put it in my mouth...... I knew, because I was a little scared. The hurdles are high for me, especially in terms of 'fighting with other participants'.

Even if I was interested, I would never have thought of joining you alone. Either way, I'm not very good at horror.

It's just... it just means' if you participate normally '.

I don't even feel like Mizuki and the others are going to come up with something that won't be pulled off by the other players. As far as I can remember from day to day, I can't imagine how "I'm going to get out of here in fear" or "I'm going to run away from a killer".

Mizuki has a particularly strong tendency to do so. When I heard the interpretation of one of the urban legends, "Mr. Mary's Phone" (* a derived version from an ex-name, where it's the girl, not the doll, that comes after me), it was blatant.

"The story of a healthy girl, aiming for a destination while reporting on her current location. From Loricon, I think it's a legal toddler summons who expects to get all the calls he can. '

... I feel sorry for Mary, who is told this way. Mr. Mary wouldn't be talking about that much criminal smell!?

But I can't say enough about a mistake across the board - regardless of the interpretation, only Mr. Mary's actions fit - so it was also difficult to deny. Is it one of those unpleasant interpretations, or something like that?

Note that if it was an "abandoned doll approaching me while I was on the phone" story, which is my original story, "Clean it up and go to the pawn shop. GO! When you get back, capture it and go to another pawnshop. of the owner's thoughts, a wonderful golden '.

"Unlike the [returning doll] who will be at home at some point, he will self-declare the time and approximate distance to come, so isn't it possible to deal with it? You're a good girl, Mr. Mary. '

These are the words of Mizuki, a cattle demon mentor. I see, in a way, it's true. Prepare piles of salt and bills, and see Mizuki intercepting with the willingness to capture them.

……

Either way, the idea is obnoxious. Mary wouldn't want to come home with a owner like this. Leaving a letter to be run away from home, or being farewell on the phone while away, is the best thing I can do.

When it comes to Mizuki, most horror elements turn into comedy. Migawa is also a very novel interpreter, so it is a substitute that your child will not be allowed to hear. Why would 'Match Selling Girl' be talking about learning the importance of gold...?

Mizuki himself said, 'You don't encounter occults!' I was foolish, 'but you must not notice if you encounter this. Ningro, the phrase interpreted in a grandiose different direction, it seems to return unconsciously.

This time it's a game of horror genres and one with a set of streams to decide from the beginning, so there shouldn't be just any odd interpretation. Or you wouldn't.... maybe.

"So what's Mizuki's occupation? Are you one of the millionaires invited?

Asking him to shake off his strange thoughts, Mizki waved a flickering denial.

"No, Glenn. This is a profession called 'tutoring', which is liberated under certain conditions. It's a corner, so it fits Glenn. It's not suitable for combat, but it can be translated in all languages, so treasure it if you want to know the mystery of the hall. You know, intellectual-specific."

"Huh? If you need a profession to be liberated on terms, that means you can't get to the heart of the story until then!?

"Yes. Anyone can just escape, but if we're going to get to the mystery of the hall, we have to free the other professions. If you change your position, what you can do will be different. The one who wants you to play for a long time? Or, as part of securing the gold"

It's hard to get people together! And I stared at Mizuki, laughing joyfully. You don't have to smash it that far.

Apparently, there were adult circumstances besides inherent skills. Perhaps, but it also contains a charging element there. I feel like I'm spending my time and money because I'm a horror lover Mizuki.

As we had that conversation, the clock bell rang. The players who were gathered at the party venue also have a somewhat nervous look as to whether they know it is a signal to start the game.

My colleagues outside of Mizuki are a little further away... Mizuki said, 'We have things to do, so rendezvous is after we leave the venue'. Apparently, he's planning on doing something early in the start.

- And suddenly the soothing air was broken. By the intrusion of a creepy being, with an axe in his hand.

"Ahhh!"

Using that scream as a signal, the players begin their escape. Did the screaming female player have feet in fear or not move on the spot?

It's just... the female player can be one of Mizuki's people.

"Mizuki, don't you have to help Aya!?

"Well, watch. Because it's gonna be funny!

Even as Mizuki pulled her arm in a hurry, Mizuki kept a grin on her face. Intruder - Did the killer set a target for Aya, or he's headed straight for you.

... but.

There was no such tragedy as had been expected. No, in a way, the tragedy happened.

"... fuck you!

The next moment, a chair flying from nowhere hits directly, a killer who faints. To confirm that, Aya seems to be crouching beside the killer, fishing for the killer's clothes and getting something. I have no fear of that expression until now.

The man who threw the chair laughed so well that he looked at me and gave me a thumbs up.... Yeah, you're one of the joining faces this time. Defeat the Murderer (?), Thank you.

"Haha, surprised? Glenn. The first event that happens is if you know which chair you can use to repel a killer, it's sinkable. ♪ Screaming is the unique skill of a female character, and instead of attracting attention, it gets stiff. So it's used in collaboration with fellow citizens"

"What do you need to attract?

"The enemy is armed, too. You throw a chair like that, and it can be either thrown or destroyed."

I see, it seems that the division of roles was decided from the beginning. If we don't have this kind of information, we'll go straight into the chase.

"By the way, Aya said, 'A scream of a beautiful woman is a promise of a horror movie! I'm gonna be an actress!' Cause he took it on at Norinoli. I fished my clothes to get the keys the killer had. And the guy who escaped first, he's on his way to get a weapon with a stun effect."

"Oh, you need a weapon in the future."

At first, anyway, they're going to enjoy a horror game for the price and normally. Wasn't the sinking of this killer special in their actions, too, but was it done thinking about the later?

It just gets a little awkward and lets me swim my gaze. Sorry, guys. I just thought everyone would enjoy it in a different direction!

But my feelings will be lightly broken by Mizuki.

"After this, if you staged a front hall event to reappear the killer and unconscious him directly under the chandelier, even beat him up. If you keep hitting him with three guys, he stays put. In the meantime, we can enjoy the game scenario."

"... Huh?

To Mizuki's words, freeze in a pissy way. What, that criminal plot modoki!?

Well, the players are better criminals...? 'Cause you're not supposed to have any information on a killer yet, are you? You didn't kill anyone, did you?!? No, I did have an axe!

"It is our duty this time to prepare the means of escape as we approach the mystery of the hall. I guess the other faces started in charge of beatings and feel like they are in charge of collecting traps for stopping and securing jumping gear based weapons. At the end of the day, you set a trap for a place where the killer is likely to get caught, and then you drop the chandelier at the repel point! We'll catch up on him on the way, so let's get him out of here with a flying tool weapon."

"Mi...... Mizuki? Well, isn't Mr. Murderer working? Clearly, we're more vicious, aren't we?!? This, that kind of game!?

I'm not a bad person to get into a lot of planning without thinking about it. No, if you have a minimum conscience, 'extended beating' isn't in action. On top of that, when I dropped the chandelier on Todome.

But there is no way that the appeal can make sense to Mizuki opponents, who are becoming synonymous with livestock.

"I don't care about the details! The world is full of irrationality, Glenn."

With those words, I can stroke my head around. I don't suppose Mizuki is willing to listen to my appeal rather than to deceive me.

Terrible. Too pathetic a murderer. I mean, other than the first intrusion, the killer's not doing his job. His job shouldn't be to 'get bogged down by the players'.

Mizuki took us to the entrance hall while we were at it. So after encounting with the killers, the killers were naturally made to faint by the Mizki and the others.

Apparently, he was the first to collect weapons that had a stan-based effect for this. A beautiful woman in a dress with a slit or a gentleman in a suit that looks tailored takes a weapon - an iron frying pan, a corner, etc. - and the sight of being attacked by a murderer at the same time ends in a single word: unusual.

Oh, the other participants I inadvertently witnessed are donning...! Right, you look more like a jerk when you're hitting him!?

Please, don't count me among their kind. I'm the first! I'm a beginner!

I'm definitely a friend of mine, but I don't do that much worse!

"We'll hold this one down, so have fun with Mizuki, Glenn."

"I can find out why this guy sprang up and the past of the museum. Mizuki will pull you off."

A beautiful woman peeking her leg out of a slit and a man dressed like a servant in a shirt with trousers, all laughing at me. However, its legs stepped on the body of a fallen murderer and its arms waved their weapons relentlessly.

"Haha! Everybody's a no-brainer."

The opposing Mizuki is smiling and watching the sight, with no sign of trying to stop it. Ningro, if Mizuki joined them, a more tragic sight would unfold. Of course, the victim is a murderer.

"Mizuki, no, this isn't a horror game."

"What are you talking about, Glenn? Even when it comes to horror, it's not just occult. There's gonna be a lot of human scare-themed stuff, too, right?

"Yeah, you do scare humans, don't you? If you want to talk more about it, Mizuki and the others will treat the killers."

Into Mizuki, who returns it with great seriousness, he rushes into it immediately. Indeed, it is splendidly horror in the sense of 'afraid of humans'. It's very convincing there.

But the concept of this game was supposed to be "Get out of the hall while sending an impending killer".

Though the aim will be achieved, this is definitely not a development envisaged by the production side. Too much, the perpetrator and the victim are too reversed. A worldview and a smash.

But...

"Look, I'm coming."

"Ugh, yeah!

With or without me, Mizuki holds my hand. Unexpectedly gripping back, Mizuki's eyes narrowed gently.

... Everyone taught me the joy of being reached out or having someone to hold back. I guess I was just pretending to be convinced of it, although it was natural to have a distance from my parents.

"I'm not gonna let Glenn come any closer."

"Don't interrupt your child's adventure, killer."

I have no doubt that everyone is thinking of me. We said we would just end up in a killer's foothold, but we didn't even make fun of Mizuki holding hands, and said, 'Have fun!' And he sends me out all the time.

"Glenn, take this. The dictionary is a weapon, but even children can have it."

"Thanks!"

Still, I'm often unfamiliar and confused, but I was really glad everyone did something for me. It is not in such a distant past that genuine sweetness seeped out in deliberately acting innocent.

Everyone treats me like a child - sometimes the avatar looks like a child, of course - but they behave more like a guardian than that.

That's why I was able to learn that 'you can take the hand you've been reached' and… 'everything about relying on people isn't about making a debt'. Unconditional favors also exist.

If I hadn't met Mizuki and the others, I wouldn't have known the pleasure of engaging with someone, and one day I would have lost even my obsession with myself.

I think that's a lot to miss. In other words, it means you won't find what it means to live.

So I can't hate Mizuki and the others. [M]... No, I like it. It's also true that I appreciate it, but I admire it more than that. As much as I sometimes wonder what a close family is like.

I know I will continue to panic about that ruinous word and deed and be swept away. Still, I didn't want to let go of this tender time. That is an indisputable obsession.

"Well, shall we go? At first, it's a study."

"Okay! Everybody, I'm coming! It's a corner opportunity, so we'll have fun!

- And a few years later. I will have one meeting. [M]

"You, I found you, you're my brother!

An encounter that determined the future of life and an arm stretched out. Perplexed, I decided to believe him because the impotence with which he treated me as his brother... reminded everyone.
