Chapter Three: A Heroic Discussion
There were ornate beds prepared for us in the provided cha their weapons, and letting their vision drift absentmindedly to check on their status screens
I glanced at the , only to find that the sun had set long ago, which just goes to shothe instructions
Ok, so let’s see here The Legendary Weapons required no h on their own The material the weapons were constructed of reacts to the level of the hero ields the called a weapon book
The weapon book was soendary Weapons were capable of transfor into There was a weapon book for my own shi+eld that could be viewed from the weapon icon I opened it
Fwip!
The border of thequickly expanded to fill my field of vision, and it was filled with rows of weapon icons It appeared as though none of therades Huh, would you believe it? It looked like certain weapons could be set and i more powerful with time
Got it It was just like the way that skills and weapons are leveled up in online games It said that in order to learn skills, the powers hidden in our weapons would have to be set loose It really did seeame of some sort
“Hey, this is just like a game, don’t you think?”
It looked like the other guys were reading over the help menus too One of them responded to my question
“Like a gaa with an air of conceit
“Huh?”
“Yeah, it’s a pretty faame Haven’t you heard of it?”
“Uh, no? And I’m a pretty hardcore Otaku”
“You’ve never heard of it, Naofumi? It’s called Emerald Online”
“Never heard of it What is it?”
“Naofuame before? It’s famous!”
“Nah, I’ve only played stuff like Odin Online, or Fantasy Moon Online Those are pretty famous too”
“I’ve never heard of the”
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
“I don’t knohat any of you are referring to This is nothing like an online gaame”
“Motoyasu, Itsuki, you’re both wrong on this one If anything, it’s a VRMMO”
“No way Even if we suppose, for the ame, it still must be the sort that you control by a mouse, or with a controller”
Ren looked confused by Motoyasu’s theory, and he jumped into the conversation “A uys talking about? These days, aren’t all online games VRMMO?”
“VRMMO? I guess you mean a Virtual Reality MMO? Cut the sci-fi crap You know the tech isn’t ready for stuff like that yet”
“Huh?!” Ren nearly shouted in surprise
Thinking back on it, he was the first of us to figure out how to use the Status Magic It kind of seeht have knownon
“Uaames are?”
Itsuki raised his hand and answered quickly: Brave Star Online
Emerald Online
I spoke up next “I dunno I ht it seeame that I had never even heard of?
“I see As for ame called Dimension Wave”
And so we all seeame
“Wait a second Let’s try to collect e know for sure” Motoyasu rested his head on his hands and tried to calm us down “Ren, This VRMMO you speak of means exactly e said, correct?”
“Yeah”
“Itsuki, Naofuht?”
“I think it sounds like a game from science fiction, but yes”
“I think I read about soht novel once”
“Fair enough That’s about all I can think of too Okay then, Ren The game you mentioned, Brave Star Online Is that a VRMMO too?”
“Ah, right The VRMMO I played was called Brave Star Online The world felt very, very similar to this one”
Considering the way Ren spoke of it, it seey for him It sounded like computers could read the user’s brain waves, and allow the user to dive into the computer world directly
“Ok fine Well, if that’s true, Ren, in the world you cos we have mentioned? Like maybe in the past?”
Ren shook his head “And just so you know, I consider a like what you are all talking about But the ga about… You all consider theht?”
Motoyasu and I nodded in agreement
If we knew anything about online gaht we did, it seearant that ere not as well versed in online gaht ere ?
“Ok then, let’s start with some common-sense questions You can all naht?”
“Sure”
“Ok, let’s all say it at the same time”
Gulp
“Masato Yuda”
“Gotaro Yawahara”
“Enichi Kodaka”
“shi+geno Ichifuji”
We all fell silent
I had never heard of the other names Not even in the history books
We went on to coe of Internet terames None of our examples matched up In the end, we didn’t seem to share any references at all
“It kind of seems like we all came from different japans”
“It does seeine hoe could be from the same place”
“I guess that means that there is a japan in all our parallel worlds?”
“I thought at first that we could just be from different time periods But none of our experiences match up, so that can’t be it”
Even at that, we all had one thing in co
“If that’s the case, it seeht here for different reasons, and in different ways”
“I’ useless conversations Do we really need to have these things in common anyway?”
Ren spoke up as if he was the coolest person in the room, and he wanted everyone to know it
“I was on ot caught up in a murder case It was the talk of the town at the time”
“Uh huh”
“I ith a good friend I re arrested…”
…Ren was rubbing his side, softly, as he spoke
I wanted to poke fun at him What kind of hero did he think he ith all this talk of saving his best friend and all that? I hts to myself
I suppose he was saying that he caught the bad guy but then was stabbed in the side during the struggle
He looked like the kind of guy to boast about things that never happened I instantly wanted to file him away as untrustworthy… and yet, he was one of the heroes summed here The least I could do was hear him out
“Anyway, so then, before I knew it, I woke up here”
“Makes sense Pretty cool of you though, isn’t it? Saving your best friend and all?”
He responded to my compliment with even more aloofness Fine then
“Ok, I guess I’ at himself
“I have… Well, to put it siirlfriends”
“I’m sure you do”
Sohtful older brother He also gave off the iirls
