Chapter 537: I Started my Motorbike (2/2)
[……But Alice. I've never driven a motorbike before……]
[Ahh, it's alright. The Support-system is always activated, so you basically will not fall or stumble. In the case of a car, if you press the accelerator, it would run forward, while pressing the brake would make the car stop…… We made it to be something simple like that. Furthermore, it's only a game, so even if you have an accident or something here, it won't hurt you nor would you break your vehicle. It's designed so that even children can play it.]
[I see, that's a relief then.]
[Yes, but if you have an accident…… like hitting a wall perhaps, your speed will drastically decrease, so be careful.]
They've really thought about this. I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun playing this. For the time being, I decided to choose the bike that Alice recommended.
Selecting the bike on the screen and pressing the button, the motorbike appeared right next to me.
[Ohh, it really looks cool, looking at it like this……]
[That motorbike is called the ”BC-96”, designed by Kuro-san!]
[……Fumu.]
BC…… Baby castella. 96…… Kuro. Nah, there's no way she named it just like that……
(T/N: 9 = Ku/Kyuu 6 = Roku, so 96 is Kuro.)
[Well then, let's get started! It's boring if it's just the two of us playing, so I'll add 4 NPCs, okay~~]
As she said this, Alice operated the menu screen and four new vehicles appeared beside us. Whoa, you can even add NPCs…… non-player characters in, this really is a game out of my dreams.
Their vehicles also look…… cool…… huh?
[……Hey, Alice.]
[What is it?]
[Ummm…… Doesn't that vehicle kind of look like a mini-sized Megiddo-san?]
[Ahh, that's the ”Red Gorilla Mark II”. It's not a very fast vehicle.]
[……Ahh, I see…… Try not to get into a fight with Megiddo-san, okay?]
Red Gorilla, she said…… No, let's just forget about that……
I felt like I had found something that they would fight about again, but I decided to just ignore it and play the game. Before I knew it, a small buggy-like vehicle was set up next to Alice, and it seemed like everyone was ready to go.
Straddling my motorbike…… It was indeed very stable, and I didn't have to balance myself to keep the motorbike from wobbling. I think I can drive this without any problems.
[Well then, I'll start the count, okay~~]
[Yeah!]
As Alice announced in a bright voice, a red signal light appeared in the air…… and after a few seconds of counting, it turned blue, signaling the start of the race.
(T/N: Japan has red, yellow, blue traffic lights instead of the red, yellow, green of other countries.)
Dear Mom, Dad————- The VR that Kuro and Alice have created seems to be a work that is still in progress, but it's really great and I'm extremely impressed. We're going to play a racing game, and as I'm feeling excitement rise through the roof————- I started my motorbike.
? ? ? : [Alright, let's start with the count!]
Serious-senpai : ”Wait a moment, the goal is that way though…… Uwaahh, where the heck is that motorbike going? There definitely are some races where you have the advantage when you get the high-ground, taking shortcuts that's normally inaccessible, but is that rider going to ride up to the highest point before trying to overtake the others?]
? ? ? : [!? That motorbike…… Do you know its model?]
Serious-senpai : ”……If I remember correctly, it's a B-series motorbike…… Probably related to that castella guy. 96…… It's BC-96.”
? ? ? : [……What about its color!?]
Serious-senpai : ”Why the heck have you been asking me all that? Anyway, it's black…… A black baby castella.]
? ? ? : [……So you've finally shown yourself huh…… I've been waiting for you.]
Serious-senpai : ”……Hey, we still going to continue with this farce? Some of the young people these days can't tell the difference between the original and a parody, you know?”
