" Uwah~ it's Lucian. It's really Lucian~! "

" Listen to me! And don't call this name repeatedly. "

" Lu- Lucian? "

" Hi! "

P2

" Aren't you... Nishimura? "

" Se- Segawa? "

" Ah... Ahahahahah "

" Lucian, are you acquainted with this person? "

" E- Erm rather than being acquainted...... "

" Th- That's not it! She's just a classmate! "

" ...? Student council president? "

" Nope, that's wrong. "

P3

" I'm not the president. I'm Apricot, the guild master of [Alley Cats] "

" Yep, it seems that all the members have gathered without issues. "

" The one who's clinging to her husband Lucian would be Ako. "

" Y- Yes. "

" Hello, guild master. "

" Eh, huh? President, right now you said that all the members have gathered...... "

P4

" You're...... Schwein? "

" Ah, so you were Shuu-chan. "

" Don't call me by that naaaame! "

" You're lying...... "

" Th- That's my line! "

" So let's the first commemorative offline meeting of Alley Cats begin! "

P5

[ Looks like a high-class restaurant... ]

[ We're out-of-place... ]

[ However, more importantly... ]
Why is she that near!

" Say, say Lucian. "

" Wh- What is it? "

" Hnn~...... "

" Wh-! "

P6

" Uwah~ Lucian is alive~ "

" What was that! "

" You're sayin' it like it's strange that I'm alive! "

" Kyan! "

" So- Sorry, you alright? "

" Ehehe, it's really Lucian. "

" Why are you happy to be ill-treated?

Instead, you should be the one to ill-treat him. "

" What's with you? "

" Wh- What? "

" Then, the drinks are here. First... Let's see. Let's introducing ourselves. "

P7

" I'm Apricot, the guild master of [Alley Cats]. "

" My job is Low Wizard, but I'm confident in my fire power. "

" I'm a 2nd-year in Maegasaki High, my name is Goshouin Kyou, I'm the president of the student council. "

" Today is our first meeting, however, we're already colleagues. "

" Let's fully enjoy that interesting complex relationship. "

" Then the next one. Come on Schwein, it's your turn. "

" Uuh... "

" Segawa Akane. I'm...... a 1st-year in Maegasaki. And, erm...... "

" I understand you. Calling oneself Schwein in front of people is of course embarassing. "

" Huh? "

P8

" Since "schwein" means "pig" in German. "

" What? Eh? Are you kidding? Is that true? Schwein means pig? "

" Yeah...... Did you used it without knowing? "

" Of course! Who would use pig in their name?! "

" Shuu-chan...... You poor thing...... "

" Wait, guild master. Why didn't you say anything?! "

" I can't say I didn't think about it, but it would be more embarrasing if you've used it earnestly and not in purpose, so I've refrained from pointing it out.  "

P9

" I never thought it would be exposed in that kind of place...... "

" Uwaah, stop it! "

" You don't have to be that quiet, it's alright to act arrogant like you always says : 'This is the Great Me, Schwein!' "

" Don't say thaaaaaaat! "

" Aaah geez. "

" Aah... I'm Schwein, I'm a Sword Dancer in LA. "

" From now on, I'll chop the one who'll call me pig! That's all! "

" Then, next is Lucian. "

" Yep! "

P10

" I'm Lu...... Lucian. In LA, erm...... I'm an Armor Knight. "

" Eeh... I'm a first year in the same school as the guild master, I'm Nishimura Hideki.

My hobby is, well...... Online gaming. Please treat me well. "

" Then, at last, Ako. "

" Yeees "

" Erm, I'm Ako. I'm a Cleric in LA.

I'm not very skillful in gaming, so I'm to be a bother to everyone...... Sorry. "

" I'm a 1st-year in this same Maegasaki High. "

P11

" Huh? you're a classmate? "

" Yes, that's right. "

" My name is Tamaki Ako. Please call me Ako like always. "

" Huh? That's your true name? "

" Yes...... is that weird? "

" In the internet, this is...... No, that's fine. "

" Hahaha, it's typical of Ako. "

" I'm not in a club. I don't a any firend in school.  "

" !? "

P12

" Since I don't come often, when I'm in school, I attract everyone's attention. "

" He hee...... "

" It's- it's alright! I'm the student council president but I also don't have any friend! "

" Indeed! You've gained friends!! "

" Hooray! Ako-chan! "

" Hey, stop it! "

" Yes, that's why...... Being able to talk like that and make friends, I'm really happy. "

" Please treat me well. "

" In a word, I think that... "

P13

" Raising the fire power by strengthening weapons clearly raise efficiency. "

" Nope. This point of view is too one-sided. "

" If you don't have defence power, there are places where you can't hunt. "

" So the meaning of saying that you should go beyond your own limits is the same as unneeded. "

" What didja say? You "Great Me" bastard! "

" I said not to call me like that! "

" Well, wait, you two.

There's the way of thinking that say that you're the strongest when you reinforce yourself with money. "

" Be quiet, you heavy-paying warrior. "

" About the matter of the bad treatment of the guild master. "

" Yes! Yes! I also have an idea! "

P14

" If I have to buy something, I think it would be themed equipments. "

" It honestly doesn't matter if the equipments are enhanced or not, since everyone can beat me. "

" You, seriously, don't joke around! "

" I'll knock you down! "

" Hii!? "

" Ako-kun, the healer must survive until the end, do you understand? "

" Eeh, but Lucian dies before I do something...... "

" For the record, as the main tank, I have unrivaled equipments. "

" First, if your defensive gears arn't good, you'll die.

Because our healer is too shitty. "

" I can't deny it. "

" Yep, there's no room for discussion. "

" Ah- Ah- I don't hear youuuu. "

P15

" By the way, how the guild master contrives the funds to pay? "

" I'm also in this age. The funds I use are the money borrowed form my parents. "

" Guild master, you're a daughter from a good place. "

" Not to that extent. the money is from the funds I borrowed, but I increase them myself. "

" Uwaah...... I wish that the richs with a future mapped out would die...... "

" Ako? Ako!? "

" Calm down, Ako! Since this is the guild master! Or rather, this disease is the same IRL!? "

" I'm sorry, I lost my self-control. "

" You overdid it... "

P16

" But for parents that neglect me, they are overprotective.

They say with a straight face something old-fashioned that sounds like a joke like choosing my friends in my stead. "

" However, when I started to play online and touched the world of the net, I was enlightened.

After fighting with my parents, they approved that I could make my own friends. "

" Ooh- "

" But it was too late. "

" Gui- Guild master? "

" ......Huh. I'm fighting alone without friends even in class. "

" Guild master, let's fight these normalfags together. "

" Indeed Ako. We're comrads. "

" My ches hurts with just looking at that.  "

" What a disgraceful handshake...... "

" By the way, before, I heard a rumour at school about Segawa...... Schwein. "

" Huh? What rumour? "

P17

" Something like you being confessed to. Aren't you amazing? "

" Hu- Huuh!? Why something like that became a rumour? That's why men are... "

" I mean, you were boasting in the game. I remember. "

" That is that. "

" I see. Schwein is, unlike us, a splendid normalfag. Hey! Wall smasher substitute! "

" A wall smasher substitute will smash without discrimination the wall next to you! "

" I rejected him! I did tell you! "

" Shuu said something like turning someone down bluntly, you weren't very interested? Or is there someone else you like? "

" No, this is...... Hum...... "

" Because, "

P18

" Having a boyfriend would decrease my gaming time. "

" Because of that!? "

" It's true that the gaming time would decrease. "

" That's true! Would you absolutely hate it? "

" Yeah! "

" It's rejected. "

" You're true to yourselves, you girls...... "

" What? Do you want to complain? "

" ......Nope. It's definitely better than the you at school. "

" That's not a praise at all. "

P19

" Then, reverse the idea!

What about Shuu-chan getting a husband inside the game as well? "

" You can be together without descreasing your gaming time? "

" Yeah. a boyfriend with who I can play together online, well...... Nope, as I thought, don't wanna. It's gross. "

" Hey you! "

" If we had more time I would have dinner with everyone.

But my home won't allow it past that hour. "

" That's fine. Even I also have to go home until dinner or they'll get mad. "

" It was really fun. Let's...... Let's meet again one day. "

" No, you said one day, but since we're in the same school,  we can meet anytime. "

" I see...... I see! Indeed! "

P20

" ......Somehow, sorry. "

" Why are you apologizing, Lucian? "

" To be honest, I thought that you were all men. "

" Aah, that? "

" Even though I properly said that I was a real schoolgirl. you didn't have a ounce of trustin it. "

" That obvious! "

" You made a amazing face at first. "

" That's mainly your fault! "

" After we gathered, I thought it became ackward. "

" But like that, we realy met. It was really fun. "

P21

" That's why... I'm sorry for not believing everyone at first, and thank you.  "

" Smelly! And futhermore gross! "

" Isn't that cruel!? "

" It's not cruel. Whether IRl or in games, if you say something like that to me, my reaction will be the same. "

" Yes, but still! "

" Hi...... Hihihi Hahahahaha "

" The guild master is laughing hard! "

P22

" Since I was also wondering if you were a man who would ogle when I saw Lucian, it's a tie. "

" ......Ah, by the way. "

" If you get over-familiar with me at school, I won't forgive you. Okay? "

" O- Okay. "

" I'm counting on you. "

[ Ne- Near. Her face is near. ]

[ When I look at her like that, as I thought, her face is cute. Her face. ]

" Uwah "

P23

" ......Mu-! "

" A- Ako? "

" Even without intimidating me, I won't take your husband. "

" Indeed. "

" Then see ya. If we meet at school, carefreely call me guild master! "

" Nope, I'll call you president! Then see ya! "

" Lucian, Did you really think I was a man? "

" ......Sorry. To be frank, I thought you could even be a middle-aged man. "

" Why!? "

P24

" I said I was a girl!? Why didn't you believe me!? "

" I- I'm sorry. "

" Lucian, firstly, if you thought I was a man, why did you think it was fine to marry? "

" Because, look...... I thought even a man would do. "

" Eh- Eeh!? "

" No no, it's not what I meant! "

" I really think that reality and game are different. "

" That's why even if you were a man outside the game. the Ako inside the game was fine by me. "

P25

" This is...... because you love [me]? "

" ..................Well, yes. "

" Me too, Lucian! "

" Oh- Ooh "

" I also thought I wanted to be together because Lucian is Lucian.

Even if Lucian was completely different from the person I thought, I would absolutely love him! "

" Th- Thanks! "

" No, it's different, calm down. Game and reality are different. Game and reality are different. Game and reality are different...... "

" ? Lucian? "

P26

" It's already late so let's go home. "

" But I still... "

" I have to go home, look. "

" Lucian, see you tomorrow...... Yeah, see you later! I won't cause trouble today! "

" Ah- Aah. be careful on your way home. "

[ What's that complicated bad feeling that I have. ]

[ If I have to use a figure of speech, it's like I earnestly walked on a very big land mine. ]

" Let's quickly go home. Yep let's go home. "

[ And after that, the me from that time didn't know that... It would become like that... ]
