Ping-pong, and a light noise.
Interphone's bell informing the visitor sounded indoors in a mild tone, contrary to my nervous and heavy inner feelings.
"Taro. Are you sure?
My sister shows up on the Interphone monitor, looking at Mina and the man in black with vigilant eyes and getting confirmation from me.
"Yeah, let me handle it"
Not my sister this time, I'm not sure if I should go to your phone... I stopped.
If you speak up, Mina may not come in. Then let's go out and open the door directly.
Walk slowly to the front door and unlock the door.
And carefully open the door to the wall that separates Mina from me.
"Huh!"
Beyond the open door, Mina looks at me and looks stunned.
He didn't look upset by his uncle in black standing next to him, but his body seemed slightly stronger when he felt Mina's anomaly.
"... Hello, Mina. I've never seen you in real life, have I?
Minazuki in the game is the discomfort in front of me right now. The luxurious blonde is relaxed and the ladylike standing girl is dressed in a different garment than her usual clergyman's garment, her eyes blinking again and again with her hands in her mouth.
"How come... there's a Heavenly Master in Shintaro's house?
This way, why is Mina in my house? The question swallows. First of all, I met Mina face-to-face, determined to ask her what was going on.
I intentionally ignore the beat ringing like an early bell and somehow keep calm and smile at Mina.
"I'm Shintaro Buddha. Sexual metastasis has developed this past summer, and now it looks like this... but it's really Shintaro Buddha."
Don't hesitate, I can tell you my condition.
I've been able to explain myself so easily thanks to my sister and Yuji for worrying about me so much. And I guess it's because of the people I know in the game.
Thank you to everyone in your chest and stare straight at Mina.
Come on, next time it's Mina's turn, I encourage her to introduce herself.
"I..."
Then Mina revealed herself as she stared at me.
◇
"I... am Kotomitsuka."
The only person whose name indicated that I was a close associate of the opposite sex and a childhood tame name.
She lives in the house next door until elementary school, and from middle school, she moved out due to house conditions, and she's a child with separate places to go to. My maiden name is Minami.
When I was in elementary school, I was a girl who used to follow me around, and I usually have something to pull into for the bright.
My memory harp must have been a brunette, brunette, long-haired, little Japanese high school girl. The last time I saw him was in the spring after his high school entrance ceremony, and this is how he came all the way to visit my house.
How can that be...... you look like a Nordic doll like me, and you're toddling?
"I have a condition called degenerative childhood disorder... and I have a very rare disease... so this is what it looks like now."
Mina's confession was as strong as mine.
Sick... following my sexually transmitted disease, this time degenerative childhood disease?
There is a good chance that Qin's illness involves some kind of clan clan implementation.
"I'm just a little relieved... it's not just me, but Heavenly Master... Shintaro was suffering from an odd disease too..."
Qin speaks to me in the same polite tone as she did when Mina.
It wasn't until shortly after she moved that she started talking that way.
It was just before she went to middle school that Harp's parents went off to the other side of the world in a car accident. It was her mother's relatives who took away Harp, who had lost her breadwinner. It was the people with the surname Kodutsuka who welcomed Qin as a family.
There is no identity in Japan today.
Until modern times, however, something like the aristocracy existed, and they were called the Chinese. One of those famous houses, the Furutotsuka family. Originally, Qin's mother was an ancient metropolitan Tsuka blood relative, and in that relationship Qin became the daughter of the ancient metropolitan Tsuka.
The fact that the places of study have been separated also means that Qin is currently attending what is commonly referred to as a lady's school. So the educational aspect seems a little harsh, and even the friends seem to tell you to use the minimum salutation from day to day.
"Spring break, since... harp."
"Yeah, right. Shintaro."
"So, what kind of disease is that degenerative eccentricity?
"What kind of disease is sexually transmitted disease?
At the same time as me, Harp asks me the same question.
We get to laugh at each other like that.
What can I say?
I guess I learned something that sympathized with each other that was peculiar to those who suffered from odd diseases, and I was just a little relieved.
There was a slight break in tension, and then we started explaining our illnesses.
◇
"Just a little, you're similar. We."
"Right..."
Mina, Toto Harp's illness was that her body would rapidly go backwards to toddlers. That seems to decrease not only the body, but the inner surface, that is, the mental age as well. Furthermore, his appearance seemed to change, and the majority of it was that he would have an appearance depicting his ideals.
"Soutaro-kun's body is also regressing, right?"
"Sounds like a pretty special case in my case, but it seems to be the first time my body has toddled due to a sexually transmitted disease..."
"Really..."
"Mina, not Harp, how could you look like that?
Blonde blue-eyed. That's what Qin looks like now.
"I don't know... but if I could be cuter, or... if I could just play, go back to my anxiety-free elementary school, or... when I was disgusted with myself for not being able to do well, this was what I would have done if I wished so strongly"
"Oh well..."
Qin wasn't the kind of kid who said no to herself. I learned a little worry about her expression in such shade, but what I couldn't do well wasn't the air to hold on deeply.
As the daughter of the ancient capital Tsukazuka, I was blurry in middle school that the hurdles in the matters that had to be done had risen... but it could be around there.
"Look, Michelle. The most beautiful woman in me was Michelle, Shintaro's sister-in-law, so she probably unconsciously wanted to look similar to her."
I see, indeed, just like Michelle, Harp today is a girl with a Nordic face. I mean, if that's what you mean, I'm the same, and maybe I wished that unconsciously, too?
"I'm really surprised that Heavenly Master Shintaro was you"
"I'm surprised Mina's a harp, too. I'm surprised you were playing Clan Clan."
Speaking of which, I don't know what you said about Shaking Night or Evening Fai, but Qin also starts playing Clan Clan... I can't believe Mina was Qin.
"I heard that Shintaro does clan clan clan when it shimmers at night. But the truth is, I've been playing Clan Clan ever since I heard that."
"Oh. So it's from the beta test?
"Yes."
"By the way, when did you get degenerative childhood disease? Before the Clan Clan beta test started? Or later?"
Let's ask a question that touches the core here.
If Mina's body had changed before Clan Clan was now implemented, that is, before the beta test was performed, I guess Qin's illness and Clan Clan had nothing to do with it.
"Uh, back then... I remember a lot because I started clan clan to run away from my bad self. Clan Clan had already started beta testing when her body changed. Your father and mother were told that the school would be suspended for a while because of the illness, so I took the opportunity to indulge in the Clan Clan world."
So when Qin's body changed, did the beta test already take place...
After all, both Qin's physical changes and my sexual transformation just seem to have something to do with Clan Clan. I just have no idea what the underlying cause of this is.
But as long as we know that, there's a chance that we can get it back.
And is it possible to change like Mina......
Not only is it an event of sexual transformation... but now that I think about it, skills are becoming a reality. It is impossible for Mina's body to toddle and change her appearance like someone else. I'm similar now.
No, wait.
You sure about that?
Is physical change a phenomenon that common?
Is it rare enough to go into the same classification that reality games?
The answer is no.
Only eight people have sexually transmitted diseases, including me in Japan.
There are only eight of them. Of the more than 100 million people who had their memories and common sense repainted, only eight even had physical changes. Nine if you put in the mina. I know there's more, but at least it's got to be a very rare pattern.
So if we can sense something in common between us, we can touch one end of the mystery of world transformation?
"Mr. Lily."
Qin suddenly gave Lily's name so that I could sink into the sea of thought.
I think of that blonde twin-tailed bowman girl, and I do recall that she was a real mod, too.
"I've seen you in real life with her too"
Mm-hmm. Speaking of which, that's what Mr. Lily said in the game for Mina. I had asked you several questions about whether you had met somewhere before.
"It was a party you called to a famous house called the Sanjo family, about face-to-face...... I know Lily. You won't remember a little girl from a Japanese house over there."
"But have we met somewhere? Didn't Lily ask you that?
"Yes, I was surprised by that too... but as Lily, I didn't think it would be a good idea to ask about it, so I avoided mentioning or affirming it."
"And?
"Because you are Heavenly Master, I say because you are Shintaro...... Mr. Lily is a British royal. 'Cause we were totally together."
"Ho... I had a rich vibe, but I didn't know you were such a mess... is it okay for someone like that to do a real mod in a clan clan? Besides, you know, enjoying bad play like poking a male player from behind."
"Probably, but the bird in the cage, it's in condition."
Qin glances back at my uncle in black who stands next to me silently for just a moment.
"Occasionally in a social setting, to the extent that you show your face, you may be in a position where most people are not allowed to go out. So even if it was in Japanese games, it's unlikely to be exposed."
"How hard can a great man be?"
Perhaps that is something that Qin can predict because she has had the same experience of being narrow.
"As far as I've heard from the rumors, Lily likes big Japan, and you seem to particularly like Japanese subculture. Japanese seems to master almost perfectly too...... so maybe it's a lady tone that goes too far. It seems difficult to add or subtract things around there if Japanese isn't native."
Hmm. From what I can tell, I don't even feel like I'm deliberately role-playing knowing. But there will be more to the gap than just playing bandit and being classy, and what the hell is she up to?
"It's bad for Lily because this is happening... I leaked my personal information on my own..."
Qin lays her eyes down sorry, but then she looks directly at me with her eyes where a strong will resides.
"This is the situation in Japan right now. I think it's worth asking what's going on with those in the UK. Clan Clan should only have Japanese servers so far, but Lily is getting in... and I'm just curious about that."
"I see... I've definitely left out the point of view of how the world grasps gamification because I don't notice the pollution of gamification and I don't see any noticeable movement globally, other than the people who have been on real modules before, but I'm just curious."
We then shared our opinions with each other for a while, and, uh, we talked the whole way about what to do with the status quo.
By then, weird firmness like when we cummed out each other's sickness names had completely disappeared, returning to the loose air between childhood tamers.
"I knew it was destiny. Shintaro."
"Yeah?"
Harp laughs at me nico.
Its gentle and bright expression, though different from the smile I had in my memory, makes me feel a slight shadow of Qin.
"I have continued to chase the Heavenly Master in the Clan Clan. It's like when I was in elementary school... when I was with Shintaro all the time"
That's what Harp says as he slowly grasps his words, as if to handle even every grain of precious gem his precious memories.
"Such an adventure for Shintaro and even Clan Clan. It's childhood friendliness among people suffering from odd diseases."
"That's a great chance."
"Yes! So we are destined."
"Destiny, or..."
Maybe that's true.
I thought it was a low-probability encounter to say the least.
"Even if your body doesn't go back like this, you and I would be close in age right now, and maybe we could stay together a lot?
Pooh blushes his cheeks and I get a little upset about Harp staring at my face and strangely keeping my body close.
"Together in the game, in reality. Isn't that nice? Shintaro?
"Uh. Well, that's fun."
"Yes."
There was nothing more I could say to Harp, who gave me a full smile.
Because Harp's face is still getting too close and his head up.
Already the limit, and my critical point was about to be broken, the arrow tip, the smartphone snarled like it was crushing the weird air between me and Harp.
I panicked and grabbed my smartphone,
Shintaro! Come right back to Clan Clan. '
"Quick story, Ignitol momentum is about to defeat"
Why!?
Are you kidding me, the fort is about to fall?
Until just now, the weird air blows away in an instant and immediately shows Qin his smartphone as well.
The harp next door looked a little unfortunate, but immediately nodded silently and immediately moved into the logging position.
"Taro, are you logging into Clan Clan?
My sister came into my room when I finished putting on my earphones and was about to log in.
"Yeah. The swinging nights contacted me that the Ignitol forces were about to lose. I want my sister to be here soon."
"Okay. But before I do, I want you to see this article."
My sister's face is all flat. But I could easily tell from a long relationship unique to my sister and brother that something serious had happened to that expression, which was so calm as to be unusual.
My sister shows me her sad smartphone.
What was in the news on that LCD screen...
"What, this...?
"Keep it written."
Large demonstrations, riots and terrorism had erupted almost simultaneously around the world.
It was as if each force had reached an agreement in secrecy and anticipated the timing.
Most of its content is the friction caused by the realisation of the clan clan.
A mysterious group of people named Christians demonstrated, and in the radical places, they also appeared to be engaged in terrorist activities against the government that enshrined freedom of faith.
Mainly the United States, Europe, terrorism, etc. seemed to be occurring vibrantly in the UK and elsewhere.
Also in the Middle East, people named Muslims are armed bees and articles in the parishes of the Rainbow Goddess Church (Arco Illis).
Furthermore, in Asia, a group of unknown gods named Buddhists carried out a great deal of anti-government activities and began marching in the name of preaching, he said.
From the world, Christianity should have disappeared from history. The faithful still existed and were stunned that they noticed the erosion of the game and there were people flipping anti-flags at it.
And I can't hide my surprise at the fact that at some point, even Islam and Buddhism were supposed to disappear.
"This... means there are a lot of people in the world who realize the game is eroding, right?
"Right. We weren't the only ones."
"So realizing that reality is contaminated by the game... is that it doesn't matter if you're not playing Real Mods or Clan Clans?
"I still don't know that."
Is there a battle in the world between those who can recognize the changes in the world and those who are polluted?
"I may have been careless in the midst of a dispute... but I was just a little relieved that I was anxious because I didn't know what to do"
"Right. I just figured I wasn't isolated, but I saw hope."
She was a sister who would get a soothing exhale all the time, but she ripped her face off from it.
Feelings in preparation for the coming battle propagate to me and Mina.
"Whether sects that should never have been compatible are holding hands with each other and turning to a common enemy… let's do what we can"
"Yeah."
"Yes."
Ignitol's defeat is unacceptable.
To keep the world from spreading any more chaos, we just have to do everything we can.
