Make sure the sun goes down and the land stops and squeals in the residential area.
Lu Taniguchi, who traveled casually throughout Japan, sought overnight accommodation as usual and happened to enter the house he had noticed.
Kill all the people inside and make it an overnight inn. It's the usual. But that day, when I went up to the house, an unexpected event occurred.
An occasion when one girl is being abused by an elderly man or woman who appears to be her parent. The sight vividly awakened the memory of land.
"offensive value 100"
I believe it's a game. It's still a scarred memory in my heart. When Lu expressed the feeling in numbers, he took the action to be taken.
A couple stunned by a sudden intruder. A scream that rises from its mouth. A begging for life emanating from its mouth. The groaning of the Terminator leaking out of its mouth. The girl listened continuously to a voice that the couple had never given before, while looking at the sight and burning it to her heart.
"Who, I wrote a scenario for this Tsunana event. You can fire the Scenario Manager."
After finishing slaughtering the couple, Lu runs like that in an uncomfortable manner. The girl has no idea what Lu is talking about. Lu had assumed that both his life before he realized it was a game and the abuse he had now committed in front of him were muscles written by scenario writers outside the game.
"Long time no see. I met a player other than me. I don't think he's conscious, just like me."
Lu smiles at the girl - Yukie Shindo, and he speaks another unintelligible word.
"You may not believe it, but this is the world of games. But many players don't even realize they're players, nor do they realize that this is the game. I realized it because of a certain reason. At that point, the player realizes that this part of the game will start again. Of course I want to see it now, even if the other players tell me."
Yukie heard about Lu and thought he was a lunatic about Lu. But on the other hand, there were undeniable aspects of the language and assumptions of land. I don't want it to just be lightly "this guy's crazy," that feeling boiled down.
Because for Yukie, the very thing that just happened was like a miracle.
I lost my parents a few years ago, and when I left my relatives' house, they made me mess with them. I give them to you, and what they could take away was a distant couple of relatives who ate quite a few years of age without having a child.
But the couple didn't like Yukie, and gradually Yukie became hard on them, and it escalated into everyday abuse.
When he spoke, he was always made angry, stared at with a dangerous eye, and beaten to the point that he didn't care at all. The violence gradually escalated, too, as they continued to be beaten for minutes by both of us.
Yukie had given up rather than curse her own destiny and had become a pale, unfathomable girl. I never wished for liberation from this routine, and I didn't expect it.
Nonetheless, a man appeared who would free himself. Nor was it a beautiful substitute like the knight of the white horse, but an unimaginable brave man.
I'll talk to the land and ask. Yukie was aware at that point. From now on, I will act with this man.
"It's called the Box Garden Game, so it looks like you can do whatever you want, but it looks like you have a few quests ready for once. By completing the main query, the game seems to be progressing. Looks like you can get back to real life by completing the game. I need someone to direct me to the main quest. He's not a resident of the game, he seems to be an operational staff member."
At that point, Yukie could not tell whether the operating staff and the others were delusional or deceiving the land.
"Do you remember a little bit of real life?
"Mmm. Not at all. Real memories are rules we can't bring in here. So many of the players remain unconscious. I believe this place is real."
"Why do you think I'm a player?
"It's an intuition. Oh, it feels like this guy's different. I know you're not NPC, you're human."
At that point Yukie finally realized. No, it was too late to notice too much happening. The fact that the land has been closing its eyes for a long time - blind. But as far as his movements and gestures are concerned, he just seems to be visible, despite his eyes being closed.
"Are you blind? Instead... it's moving so you can see it."
"I don't recognize color and light. It's a weird bug. I know all the shapes of what's around me, and I know how to move."
The meaning that the eyes were closed and the shapes were known and the colors were not known could not be understood by Yukie at that time, but soon afterwards it would be understood. Apart from that, however, Yukie's heart was shaken by the fact that she was blind to the eyes of the land.
(You know, the rebirth of that kid has come... Well, that's not true)
I think of the discarded cat I met when I was a little girl.
Then Yukie began to act with Lu. Lu invited Yukie to the 'game' and Yukie rode very naturally too.
In the two years since I met Lu, there was always Lu beside Yukie. Land is beside itself. That's all that had brought Yukie great relief. It had the same feeling as it had been before I lost my parents.
Land continues to take away. Everyday. Happiness. If you look at those who have lost their lives, Yukie will have no mercy at all. I do not laugh at those who have been taken away. It's just a everyday landscape. That's what land is all about. Carnivores in humans. He who snatches and eats.
Land is evil. He is a hateful being and hostile to society. Yukie also knows that even stronger beings than the land continue to follow the land.
Therefore, fear is lurking in Yukie. Fear of losing land, a source of peace of mind for me. That's always lurking in the depths of my heart, occasionally peeking into my face.
Yukie is forced to push the fear back towards the bottom. I do not want to be like those who have lost and those who have been taken. Land must remain on its side for its own sake. Yukie was so strong and thoughtful, she kept killing the fears of crawling out of her intransigence many times. I'm devouring my days full of relief.
