With my brother and sister. VRMMO games.

Episode 135: The Breath of Hikaru ⑦

After-school.

Against the backdrop of the dark sky, Ae and Ai Pear were walking side by side.

When they arrive at the station, they walk among the crowd and stop at the nearby shopping mall.

Toru hasn't come yet.

"... yeah"

When Toru, the partner of the meeting, realized that he had not arrived, he and Ai Nai looked around at the products placed in the shopping mall.

A variety of items were arranged on the shelves.

On the first floor, there are shops related to groceries, souvenirs, restaurant streets, and upstairs, everyday items such as books and miscellaneous goods, clothing, decorations, and VRMMO games.

There was an interface holography showing several confectioneries in the store that could be bought as a token.

"Wow...."

Ai pear breathes and seeps surprise at the various scenes that are reflected in front of her.

As she and Ai Nai were strolling around the mall, she returned to the meeting point.

It's about time Toru arrived.

When he looked around with perseverance, he tried to check the time displayed on his mobile device - at that time.

"Hey, Ai, I'm sorry I'm late!

"Uhhhh!

Ai Ee screams at the sudden sound of the boy's voice and the sound of the automatic door opening.

"Hey, Ai Ee!

"............"

Ai Ee hid behind her like she was frightened by Toru's easy-going behavior.

"That way, the place to hide won't change forever."

"Toru, don't surprise Ai."

When Toru said in a cheerful voice, she frowned in disgust.

Toru rearranged the partition and looked at the product lined up on the shelf with interest.

"Hey, Ai Li. Isn't this amazing?

"... ah"

As Toru recommended, Ai Li shouted quietly and stared at the confectionery placed on the shelf.

"... fluffy sweets"

Ai Ee moves her fingers toward the confectionery and checks the product name, content, price, etc. that comes to her attention.

When Ai Ee's gaze was nailed to the confectionery, she cut it out again.

"Toru, how was it?

"Oh, yeah."

To point out, Toru removes the mobile device from the bag.

"That's what I told you in my message."

With that in mind, Toru talks in a painful manner.

"As a result of collecting the contents examined by other members, Linoa was unable to discharge from the hospital where Shinya Yoshino works as a doctor, as she was concerned. Yongta and Linoa's parents wanted to go through the discharge process, but the pressure from the state and medical institutions didn't approve it."

I see.

For a moment, Toru was puzzled by the report.

In response, Toru relaxed his expression and gently shrugged his shoulders.

"But as far as the revelation goes, don't get scared."

"But my power isn't perfect either. The power of a user with the same special skills can overshadow it."

It has a wonderful look and looks at the holography of the shop.

This time, he asked Toshida to rescue Linoa from the real world.

Because I was weaving future plans by Legion and Kara with my special skill "Forced Toning (Ethereon)" in advance.

Therefore, I am in contact with the guild members of Ultimate Harvest to carefully explore the surrounding trends.

But it didn't go far enough to save Linoa in the real world.

Even now, I have tried and mistakenly smoked without finding a way to go through the discharge procedure.

The reason for this is that the power of Melo-Linoa, a user of the same special skill, worked many times through the view in the game.

With the awakening of Mira, the future of the "Legion" side was chosen irrespective of the will of Mira.

In fact, even in the Battle of Kara's Alliance Home, the King's Capital, the use of Special Skills in parallel with the Defense Battle of the Altis, has been thwarted by the power of Mira.

Even in one other case, Mira's awakening made it impossible to carry things as she thought.

Sighing with dark thoughts, he intensified his words with remorse.

"I can't give you pears and honey winds."

"... ahh"

"I'll do anything for that."

"I'll do anything if I can protect Ai and Hope."

In response to his determination, Toru firmly grasped the mobile device.

"There are people who look at the power of special skills and try to use them for their own lust."

With endless eyes of passion, sadness, and various emotions, he glimpsed the future he had chosen.

"Then I will continue to use this power to select a future where Ai Nai can be happy."

As all kinds of affection came and went, he looked at one of the conclusions he had drawn.
