VRMMO no Shien Shokunin ～Top Player no Shikakenin～

A character dotted with a two-headed body moves a planar map.

Eventually a monster occupies about six squares appears in the back of a brown-looking cave.

"Oh, I miss you..."

Surely this guy should have been the main character's flesh-parents' feud, opponent who would have fought many times in the game.

Giant, alien beings yet wise, and speaking words.

From this dot representation I imagined a more horrible shape than I had to, and I remember being very scared at the time.

And then...

"Oh, this BGM... this is it"

Creepy music, mixed with deliberate discord.

Unique flavors do exist in old games, which are not found in high definition games today.

There are limitations on the video and sound available, which is why they use it to the fullest to appeal to the player's mind.

And ultimately to make it up to is like I used to have against this monster... the player's "imagination".

"... All right, let's do it!

I spent a little time raising the level, but now I can use tactics that I didn't think of at the time.

I finally make contact with the boss with the self-characters I'm manipulating - that's when it happened.

"Brother?"

"Whoa?...... is that a science? Have you finished your studies?

Rishi opens the Japanese-style bamboo (fusoma) and comes in.

I'll put the controller down and pour the tea I've prepared since I invited Rishi.

Rishi is slowly dropping in here on the invitation, but still looking around at what's going on in the room.

"I'm done for today.... You served this one, right?

"Oh, it's still autumn, but it's getting cold."

I have some long legs that I can use sitting in a chair in the living room, but this one still calms me down.

It's still far away in the middle of winter and we don't have classic nectar or anything...

Hi, I think it's because I was in a place called Frozen Lake, etc. on in-game - TB.

"I think it's good. My hands and toes are getting cold in the morning and evening..."

"Because Rishi feels cold... be careful not to catch a cold or something, okay?

"Yes. Thank you, brother"

With a soft grin, Rishi sits down next to me.

And I just put my thighs and legs halfway into the bump - my smile and movement hardened.

When restarted, turn up the futon and peek inside with a frown-rooted look to confirm.

"... Miyu-san... were you there..."

"I'm totally asleep..."

Unblessed tight yet soft legs are stretched from the other side in a slightly disturbing way.

You have long legs for nothing, so you can hold on to that...

Rishi frowns at it, while appropriately kicking the unblessed leg to the point of not waking up to secure space.

"... Shit. First time with your brother in the corner, you've been crossed."

"What is it, the beginning of this...? Oh, no, even if I can't explain it, I somehow know what it means."

It would be like the first time in a book, the point is.

This year, I put this one on my head... and I'm sure that when I first came in for the season, I defined it as "the beginning of the season" - why am I seriously thinking about this?

"Uh, but wouldn't you have a choice because Rishi was studying in his room?

"Right...... study is a fabric stone for my brother and my future, so you can't be lazy"

"I feel a little caught up in the way you say it, but I think the way you think about it is incredibly great."

Study is a fabric to the future, huh...

I personally find it quite rare that someone can actually move into action with this in their mouth.

It's something I really want to play with at home, skip and stay behind even if it's not that bad.

"... let's do a rewarding chocolate for such a science. It replenishes the reduced sugar content."

"Thank you, brother"

When I give him about two small wrapped chocolates that I had made a tea contract, he leans over to me as I receive them.

... It's hard to say you can't come when you compliment me.

Is it good sweetness or good driving?

I turn to sleeping unblemished while trying not to be too aware of the body temperature of Rishi, who is still a little limp.

"- This guy was up just now, chatting and watching my game."

"Really... I'm sure that when I'm beside my brother, I get the healing effect of being in a shaking cage, near a waterfall, or even in a quiet forest..."

"Yes, no, not like that. It's simply the power of these things, isn't it?

Rishi treats me like a relaxation device or something, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with unblessed sleep.

and that's where I focus my attention on the game screen where the science remains.

"Oh...? Speaking of which, you play a lot of old games."

"Yeah, father's shape. Retro gaming is the best situation in the world... but it calms me down."

"Ha ha... that feeling, unfortunately, I don't know. But how could you suddenly...?

Where Rishi fits in, he serves tea and re-grips the controller.

Fighting with the boss has already begun, but you don't have to panic because it's an RPG for a turning battle.

While restarting the game, I started returning my answers to the questions of science with a few thoughts.

"Hmm... Simply put, it's the effect of TB"

"TB's...?

"Oh. This boss, he's not really the boss to destroy at this stage."

……

Even the servant Rishi tilts his neck to see if he can't talk yet.

Speaking in turn...

"Gamely speaking, it's called a losing event. Losing doesn't make the game over, it keeps the story going."

"So no matter how the player behaves, wins and loses are decided from the beginning, right?

"Yes, but we've been talking about rumors that we can take him down for a long time."

"... I see. I can see the story."

This speeding comprehension, that is my sister - or is a rational life.

Conversely, the owner of this disturbing leg needs to explain more than twice as lightly by the time he understands, so the conversation is longer when the three of us are talking... anyway.

"I mean, your brother wanted to try and mask the losing event. What is the effect of TB... is it about that intrusive NPC?

"Yeah, that's the thing. I've tried so many times that I can't win... I think that's the flavor of the game. I've been wanting to beat this guy in this game for so long."

Party member's HP appears red in enemy attacks.

But it wasn't critical and incapable of fighting, and the healing went in and the turn passed.

Some random numbers render you incapable of combat, but they gut you to inflict damage on a mighty enemy.

... I can't believe you didn't notice that protective equipment had a hidden status.

The defense on the denomination is subtle, so I would have been killed by a blow through normally.

"... Well, there is no reset feature on the TB for online games, and to be exact, it was affected - the intrusive NPC, or unblessed mental. Isn't that amazing?

"... there, I didn't dare touch it. Right...... chip"

"Yeah, tongue-in-cheek? Let's praise you honestly..."

"I don't like it."

Where Rishi responded instantly, you can see the bottom of the healing item in the game.

Can we...?

"... there it is!

"Aye!?

"You can win........................................................."

"This guy..."

Suddenly the shock ran on my leg, apparently because the sleeping unblemished had kicked in.

Has the console body where Unyu is sleeping been bugged?

The old console is vulnerable to shock...... how many times have you cried at it when it's small?

Among other things, Mother's vacuum cleaner was a particularly powerful enemy.

"... brother. Shall I put some ice in Unyu's neck?

"Stop him. It's bad for my heart, and that's what stops the game if I get jumped..."

Unblessed momentum scares me that every single one of them is going to turn back.

Concentrate on the game screen for a while before an unfortunate accident occurs.

Eventually the regular attack of the main character, repeated many times, hits the boss......

"Whoa."

A picture of the boss sitting in the center of the screen disappears and text appears that he won the battle.

After seeing it blurry, Rishi turned a grin here.

"Congratulations, brother"

"Thank you. I don't know, a sense of accomplishment and -"

"Yes?"

"- It's always been in the corner of my head, I feel like I finally got rid of all my years of homework. Yeah."

"Ha...? Is that what it is?

"That's what it is."

It's a corner, so let's save the data we knocked down.

This game is critical, the type that allows you to store data in software, not password format.

I just replaced the internal battery, so I wouldn't have to worry about disappearing that way.

……

"Hmm, what's up? Rishi."

"No, um... this boss your brother knocked down, he seems to remain on the map indelibly?

"Uh, this? Wait a minute."

Press the decision button to send the text in order to dispel the doubts of the science.

Then,

"Howe, Yardehanaika. Daga -! '

After such a one-word style and hard to read boss dialogue, he enters the battle screen again.

Furthermore, after a dialogue to show the true power to one end, a fierce overall attack of effects was unleashed.

All the party member's HP is set to 0 and the part of the name is displayed in red.

"... what?

The distracted Rishi watches and solidifies the game screen as it progresses.

... Your mouth is open?

The screen stays intact and an event occurs where the helper character lets the main party escape.

"... and well, it doesn't affect the progress of the story. Win or lose a battle, this is what happens either way"

"Huh? Duh, what do you mean?

"Don't let winning get handled like this in most games that can overshadow a losing event. Occasionally there may be games that go on as is, but the boss of such games is often not very involved in the main story"

……

Rishi, silence.

If the boss is close to exiting, it may be faster, or if there is no significant influence, the losing event may be overshadowed.

They all depend on the playfulness of the development staff and the extraction.

By the way, if you defeat a way that development does not envisage, freezing or serious bugs may not be possible, depending on the game.

"Players were happy even with those minor differences when it was a main road game with low freedom back in the day"

"Ha, ha. That means defeating..."

"No. It just keeps the fact that you defeated him."

Ritsuki deepens his confusion.

It could certainly be a difficult place for the rational world to be good at rational thinking......

It's just a personal opinion, but here's what I think.

"- But I think it's important if games are fun. So don't you have to think about what it means all the time?

"... is that what it is? What you get later is a long -"

"Yes, a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction"

In offline games, you can immerse yourself in the game's worldview, or actually face to face and work with someone.

Online games attract people from afar where they can easily share them at the same time...... would they?

I think they both have different charms.

"Ha, it was fun"

Save your father's data carefully and turn off the console.

As I stand up and try to clean up the game, I realize my little hand is holding onto the sleeve of my clothes.

"That, what's up?

"Um, brother. I'm also your brother's father's game, can I try something?

"Oh......!

It is very rare for Rishi to show an interest in the game.

For a long time, that Reason seemed boring when I was playing games......!

"Oh, that's good! Right, when it comes to games that Ritsuki seems to enjoy..."

I'm excited to name the title and explain the content of the game, and Richie smiles back at me with a gentle smile.

I can't believe the day is coming when we can talk about the old game with Rishi......

Again, it's fun to have more people to share the topic with. Very fun.

"Pfft... if I could see your brother's face like that, I should have done this sooner"

"- That's a cute animal in the lead... Huh?

No, it's nothing.

"Oh, yeah?

I heard it sooner, but I doubt I could have heard it properly because of my own voice.

After that, I'll finish running all the way and bring some titles that Ritsuki expressed interest in.

The first candidate is a horizontal scrolling action game where the two of us can play together.

Trying to get out of the room, trying to get up from the other side again...

"... Nmiu?

Unblessed rose up with a slightly uplifted face due to this fever.

... Uh, what do we do? When you wake up and figure out what's going on, you're gonna say you definitely want to do it yourself.

When I turned my eyes to Rishi, I sighed small and then smiled bitterly.

"... shall we make it a game that the three of us can play? Brother."

"... yeah, let's do that. I'll see you in the game."

"Yes, you're looking forward to it"

"... see?

Then for roughly two hours, the three of us worked together in a retro game on this one.

Rishi and Unyu are still fighting all the time during the game, but this is normal for both of us, and it's not that bad.

Rather, it was fueled in the game against each other, so there was more engagement and a lot of excitement.

I hope Siesta and Arauda also change their relationship somewhat through a game called TB......
