Unlimited World - 90% of the battle for productive jobs is ready

"Uh, shit. Was walking on Winter Road so hard?"

"Well, if you're wearing crutches, you will."

"That's right. Let's use a cab or something without having to. Your fathers gave you permission and money."

He's attending school with me, Lu Dou and Yaohua sound worried.

When I finally got out of the hospital in February, I resumed school.

To be clear, I don't care about the final test, but the number of days I attend can be more problematic.

And taxis are allowed for school attendance… or they say use them.

Fortunately, our households are much wealthier than that, so we can manage to do that amount of spending.

We'll reach school in 1,000 yen or so.

"... somehow, it's a waste"

"Because it's so generous, don't think I can honestly take it"

"Damn, you're stubborn, too. I need you to drive by."

Yaohua and Lu Dou are looking at me with their faces open.

Anyway, I decided not to use a taxi except on a bad day.

Only do it altogether more than you decide.

"... Honestly, your brother is stubborn"

"I don't know if that's what you think."

"... thanks for that. Come on, let's not be late, let's move on."

"Yes, but the slowest way to walk is because you're my brother."

I'm gonna smile and tell this one the cruel facts, sister.

I know that very well.

I leave the house nearly an hour earlier than before I was injured and arrive at the same time as before.

Living like that keeps me talking less and less.

What I've talked about a lot lately is "Unlimited World".

"… So, finally, the production set above the advanced production set has been released"

"Apparently, Mr. Yuzuki, it's information. The terms of purchase are that the corresponding Alliance rank is 16."

"Guild Rank 16? Rank was like 15..."

"If it's 15 and you have some track record, they can take the ascent exam. Ask Yuzuki and the others for more information."

Yaohua turned that way just to say that this story was over.

My sister, too, seems to be losing a lot of time logging in because she's getting my help.

All I'm told is a joke-in-cheek grudge festival, but I guess I'm building up frustrations.

I'd like to dissipate it somewhere, but I can't think of a good way.

As the school gets closer, I'll ask Lu Dou about another concern.

I don't know how the snow sounds right now.

I asked straight about the snow noise, but the reaction wasn't very fragrant.

"Snow sister was finally discharged recently. She was awake several times in the middle of the night and the panic symptoms also subsided. It's just that I can't predict, so my mom's on vacation to see how it goes."

"... well. I knew you wouldn't be able to see me?

"Snow sister said she didn't want to see anyone. That includes Yu."

"... well. Let me know when the snow calms down."

"Oh, I know. Probably because you can handle Snow Sister."

Much more painful than when I spoke to him, but I could hear the snow noise.

It would be counterproductive to force it, and let's wait here slowly for the snow sound to recover.

"Well, I'm in middle school, so say goodbye here. Nice to meet you, Lu Dou, your brother's support."

"Oops. Until you get into the classroom."

"Still a lot of help. See you after school, brother."

Farewell to Yaohua with different destinations, me and Lu Dou head to high school.

Change to upper wear on the front porch and head to your own classroom.

... After all, it's tough going up the stairs with crutches on.

I get to the front of the classroom, and when I open the door, my gaze gathers over here.

... every time, but I never get tired of it.

Whoever comes in, his gaze is a gathering thing, but usually he loses interest immediately and returns to his original chat, reading, etc.

However, in my case, I still get attention after a week of resuming school attendance because I wear a fancy outfit of crutches on my left hand and eye bands on my right eye.

To be clear, I can't help but react one way or another.

Let's give up here and take our seats.

I'll see you in another class.

"Oh, thank God, Lu Dou"

Lu Dou turns to his class with a refreshing grin.

Dropping off my back like that, I decided to sit in my seat.

... Note that some people have been fooling around with this look, but those guys have sanctioned it crisply, so there's nothing more to tease about.

... Well, I have very little face to talk to myself.

Speaking of the people who talk to me exceptionally......

"Morning, Urban-kun."

"Good morning. How are the injuries?

"Good morning. The injury hasn't gotten any better, but it hasn't gotten any worse."

The ones I've talked to are Kirikitori and Suzuhara.

I don't know, I've had quite a relationship with these two.

... Speaking of which, I recently heard that you're in the top of The White Night or something.

"Nevertheless, the right eyelid stands out, as crutches have no choice."

"Uh, yeah. You're going to stand out."

One Kiryu is clear at dawn and Suzuhara tends to hesitate a little to get his thoughts.

I can't help it because I have to wear the eyelids, whether they are conspicuous or unremarkable.

"I'll tell you what, you can't take this off. There's no eyeballs down here, so it's some kind of horror."

"... stop being horror or something this season. More than that, did you meet Mr. Kaito?

One Kiryu will hear the snow noise with me now.

But I can't return a favorable reply to that.

"Unfortunately, I haven't even planned to see him yet. She was discharged from the hospital, but the symptoms are still there."

"That's right... Well, we're coming to see you too..."

"That would be difficult. I don't think we'll see each other when we get there."

"... right? Now we have to wait for him to recover."

At the end of the day, it doesn't change anything when the snow sounds unsettling.

Right now, as soon as possible, we just have to wait for the snow sound condition to stabilize.

... I really feel like leaving school classes alone.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

School classes are over and we head to the hospital while Lu Dou escorts us.

When we get to the hospital, we'll get dressed for easy movement and start rehab.

The same goes for foot injuries, but more importantly, the rehabilitation of the right hand does not proceed as late.

The right arm is only comfortable enough to manage to put on or take off clothes.

On the left foot, I'm going to be able to walk normally soon... either way, I'm going to be relying on crutches or regular canes this winter.

Put on your student clothes again after rehab and take a taxi back to the house.

I really wanted to walk back, but my parents have strictly ordered me to use a taxi on my way home from rehab because of the darkening on the night lane and the many times I almost fell out of tiredness.

… it should be noted that the costs of these are also prepared to charge the culprits of the passage cases, as well as their relatives, throughout the civil proceedings.

The parents of the house are lawyers, but there are some pretty tough things to deal with when these cases happen.

I do everything I can to find out who they are, and I decide all at once, they're such parents.

Apparently, this time the killer was the son of a considerable bourgeoisie, but he hasn't made good progress in paying sightings, compensation, etc. to the wounded other than me.

He's only trying to pay a very small amount of the injury, which seems to be the apparent reason... how far the parents of the house are involved.

Anyway, they give me a cab home for dinner my sister was preparing for me.

I can't use my right arm properly and I can't do any chores with my left leg.

So I'm putting a lot of strain on Yaohua.

"To this extent, I don't care, I don't care"

And they told me brightly, but it's never going to be easy.

"Brother, what are you going to do after this?

"After this?

"It's natural to take a bath, you still have time before you go to bed. Why don't you sign in to Unlimited World anyway? Yuzuki and the others were worried."

"Oh well. By the way, how do you explain this to the Teak Moons?

"I explained that I was involved in a car accident. I don't know if you believe me."

A car accident?

Well, that would be a reasonable reason to leave for a long time.

"If you want to tell me more, tell me from your brother. 'Cause I'm loaded."

"I know.... So why don't you log in for the first time in about two months"

After taking a bath this day, I decided to log in for the first time in a long time.

... Speaking of which, what was the sale of the medicine like while I was away?

Normally, did you even suspend the sale?

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Too hard to take a bath, I managed to figure out how to sleep, and I haven't logged in in a long time.

I left the login address in my own room in the clan home.

"... I kind of miss this room too"

My room has only minimal furniture because neither Yuki nor I are very committed to it.

Things are not particularly different here.

When I get out of bed, I feel uncomfortable with my vision.

... Oh, are you right eyed?

"Real life and games have different visions too...... Next time, would you like an eyelid in Manzushahua or Yuzuki?"

I think about that, stroking my right eye with my right hand.

I feel uncomfortable using my right arm normally, but I can't help it.

Should I be careful not to have things on the real side that feel the same as the game?

After the same murderous room, we head down to the first floor.

I also checked the bulletin board, but there were no posts of particular concern.

Once in the workshop, the furniture placement is the same as the last time you logged in there too.

It's been about two months, but I feel more nostalgic than I thought.

I think it's a game where there's no dust on the production equipment.

"I can't remember what it feels like to make anything, and don't worry about the ingredients. Adults, let's not do anything today."

I can't help being alone in the workshop any more.

I'm leaving the workshop behind and going to the conversation room.

At this hour, I think there's someone out there.

"There it is, twitchy. Long time no see."

"Oh, Manzushahua? Long time no see."

Manzushahua caught me leaving the workshop.

This guy's as good as ever, he's fine.

"Hal told me you were hurt badly, but are you okay?

"... well, I'm better enough to log in. I can't log in for very long."

"Oh well. Then we won't be able to sell guns for a while."

I'm not going to mass produce any more items than I am going to sell for a while.

I'm sorry, but I guess we're still ahead of us.

"Right.... What's going on around there?

"I wonder if you'd like to ask Yuzuki. Because I know Yuzuki better."

"So is that. Oh, yeah. Manzushahua, can you make eye bands for your right eye?

"Yeah? That's about it. I can make it right away, but why?

"I kind of need it. I feel uncomfortable with my right eye vision."

"Hmm? I don't know, but I'll make it soon. Wait in the bickering room."

"Oh, I asked for it"

Manzu Shahua seems to make it even though he puts his neck on it.

It'll be cosplay, but it's a game, and it won't be more noticeable that way.

Leave the eye zone thing to Manzushahua and enter the conversation room.

There was a teak moon and another, an old player in the bickering room.

"... walnuts? Why are you here?

"Ah, Twa, it's been a while. I'll correct it just in case, but I'm Walnut."

With Teak Moon was Walnut.

A pharmacist who used to belong to the Library.

Unlike me, I don't use alchemy, so it works a little less, but the production is pretty high.

By the way, 'walnut' is a name in your body.

I heard she was working individually after the formal service started......

"Long time no see, Twa. Hal tells me you're okay with your body?

"Yuzuki, long time no see. My body is... so-so. So, why the walnut?

"While you were gone, I was asking for help selling drugs. I couldn't do any alchemy, so I stopped selling guns."

I see. To sell drugs?

Walnut's been back a lot.

"Hmm. Did I bother you, walnut"

"I'm not. It's the difference between selling it to the market normally or selling it in the Library."

"That's why I was asking for medication... Twa, can you make it back now?

"Mmm. I wonder if I can get enough login time to make a store sale. I still have to rehab and stuff."

Unfortunately, this is not a stable login situation yet.

Telling that, Yuzuki seems convinced and turns back to Walnut.

"Yes, okay. So I was wondering if I could ask you for a while longer."

"Ok, I've got a workshop for you, and it's as good as it's ever been."

Looks like the teak moons' deal is over, and I guess I'll check it out as I've been doing lately.

"So, has anything changed? I heard you had a production set that was better than the advanced production set."

"Right. I wonder if that would be a change for producers. The highest quality of our products has risen to 16."

Right, has quality risen as well?

... I'm getting a little wussy.

"... well, even 14 is the limit for us, so it's a study for a while. What's Twa gonna do after this?

"Right. I just wanted to say hello to the Dwans."

"Unfortunately, the Dwans are already logged out. Another chance to say hello."

Well, if you're not around anymore, I can't help it.

Then let's wait for the eyelid I asked Manzushahua for.

"... so what about the truth? When do you think you'll be able to get back?

Teak Moon has listened to future stories.

There's also a resumption of gun sales, so I guess you want to hear some schedules.

"Honestly, you don't know when you can make a full comeback. Rehabilitation in real life isn't over yet, and..."

"Yay. Twitchy, I've got an eyelid."

Manzushahua came just in time.

In his hand, the eyelid he was asking for was gripped.

"Manzushahua, what's wrong with your eyelids?

"Twitch asked me to do it, didn't he? Twitch, is this okay?

"Oh, thank you, Manzushahua"

Get your handed eyelids on quickly.

His right eye was hidden and his vision narrowed for that matter, but he was in the same condition as his vision in real life.

Now that I'm more used to this one, I can't help it.

"Ooh, somehow a cook two ticks.... So, Twitch, why did you ask for an eyelid?

"Oh, right. Damage to the right eye in real life. My right eye is completely blind."

"Ooh......, heavier story than I thought. Are you all right?

Manzushahua peeks into my face worried.

"Oh, I'm used to it. Exactly, at first it was hard because I couldn't see the right half."

"... I hear it was an accident, was it just an accident? I'm not really going to snag my neck about the real situation, but isn't it if you're playing a game?

Yuzuki also speaks out worryingly, but I'm used to it already.

"It's okay. Surprisingly, I can handle it."

"... I hope so. Don't force yourself to play games."

Yeah, I know.

Everything is a real priority.

"... Speaking of which, guns too, but how are you selling food? There wasn't a cook in the library."

Ask him what he cared about.

The pills were Walnut, but there shouldn't be any alchemy and cooking.

I checked to see what was going on there.

But the answer I got back was this unexpected one.

"Cooking? I'm selling them normally already."

"Huh?"

"What's wrong with that?

Do you sell food?

Who's cooking?

"Who makes food sales?

"That's up to Yuki. What's the matter with you?

Yuki cooks and sells?

Was Yuki already able to log in?

"... Since when is Yuki back?

"Oh, Yuki was in an accident, too, wasn't she? I returned about a month ago. Most importantly, the login time was quite erratic and the face-to-face appearance was considerably reduced."

I've never heard of Yuki returning.

What the hell is this all about?

"... bad. Log out with this today"

"Yeah, I don't mind... You look pale, huh?

"Oh, no problem. Well, I'm sorry, but don't ask for it later, Walnut."

"Oh, I've been entrusted. Twa, heal your body slowly."

... I'm not in a state where my body is in good shape right now.

Log out on the spot and I'll call Ludou as soon as I can.

"Ouch, yo. What's wrong with you at this hour?

It was late at night, but I got in touch with Lu Dou.

I'm in a bit of a panic, but I ask what I want to hear.

"Ludou, is it true that Snow Sound is returning to the game?

"What? Wait, is that story true?

... Apparently, Lu Dou was also the first ear.

I've been listening back there in a hurry.

"Yo, that info, where did you hear that?

"I heard it from Yuzuki. He's been back about a month now, cooking for sale."

"... are you serious? I'm sorry, I'm just checking with my mother. I'll call you right back. Just wait."

The phone hangs up once, as Lu Dou said.

He said he'd call you back soon, and we'll wait a little.

Spend such a tight time, like a long, short time.

The time I actually waited was a few minutes, but I felt like I had been waited for enough.

And Lu Dou calls me.

"I made him wait.... Yo, calm down and listen to me."

"Oh, how'd it go?"

"In conclusion, Snow Sister seems to be using the game as part of her rehab. It'll take longer than real time over there. But my mother didn't even know I was logged into Unlimited World."

"Right. The snow sounds are healing to that extent."

I was relieved about that.

Looks like you're not just stuck in your room by yourself.

"... In the meantime, I'll look into this matter here as well. Thanks for the info, Yo."

"Oh, I asked for it"

The phone call from Lu Dou hung up.

After this, I don't even know what's gonna happen.

However, with Unlimited World, it is possible to meet the snow sounds.

That would be a reason to log in over there.

I don't even know what I'm going to talk to you about.

Anyway, I just want to check on the snow sound situation for once.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, I decide to leave school and log in to Unlimited World in the morning.

I'll have to go to rehab in the afternoon, so it won't be that likely to see me.

But still, I'll log in believing I can see you.

The place to wait for Yuki is the workshop.

I'm using the same room, so if you want to do production activities, you should come here.

"Master, are you all right with such a difficult face?

He wasn't there yesterday, Odd peeking into my face.

Apparently, if the players haven't logged in for a long time, the Ketsies will be home.

It looks like Odd came back yesterday because I logged in.

"... sort of. I'm waiting for Yuki."

"I see. Now that we're making medicines, if you need anything, thank you."

Odd starts making drugs in a way he's convinced.

Cloyuri doesn't seem to be here yet, but what about there?

"Odd, how's Crouli doing?

"Nyah? Crouli's fine, too."

That's not what I want to hear......

Being doing fine for now means Yuki should be logged in pretty good too.

Stay put, don't do anything, just sit in a chair and wait a few hours.

Half the time, where I was asleep, I woke up when I heard the door of the workshop open.

"... Yu-kun"

"... Long time no see, snow noise"

Finally, it looks like a waiter has arrived.
