Chapter 20 (1/2)

RAW:

ED: Karuma

「That was the day I was summoned into this world!」

It was 7th of March 2020. Even though it was past midnight, I was called into this world while I was working late. I was on my way to get something to eat when it happened.

Jirou guessed right.

But at the same time, it was hard to believe that it happened 20 years ago.

「Where should I even begin… First of all, I’m a police officer, as you can see. I was looking for missing people while following my own a.n.a.lysis. Have you heard about an urban legend that some people who were playing online games went missing, even the GM?」

「Ah… I remember about it. Sometimes, there were some missing person reports being emailed to our department」

「I’m the same. Although the rumor existed for several years, the numbers increased recently. In my department, I’m the only one who could grasp the concept and played around with 『Sengoku Samurai Senki』 and do some in-game research on the missing person case. Suddenly the bright room I was playing in went dark and I was sent to this world as 『s.h.i.+n.o.bi Chief』 that I played. That was 20 years ago」

「But isn’t there too much of time difference?」

「As the result of my investigations in this world, you get called into this world regardless of the day and the year you exist. This conclusion was reached from various testimonies」

「There are others like us?」

「Although we are working on different missions right now, I’ll introduce them to you later.

Let’s return to the story for now.

The country that summoned me was destroyed by the Kingdom. That country tried to take control of me, but I used my s.h.i.+n.o.bi skills, created a ma.s.s confusion, escaped into a wagon, and reached this country. But until then, I had only eaten a little food and was weakened considerably, then I lost my consciousness」

「Dear father picked up the weakened Jirou. From then on, Jirou has become dear father’s closest aide」

「Yep. Exactly as the prince said. King Roland and I fought together so many times and I did my best to make him the King」

The prince didn’t seem surprised when listening to our story.

He probably heard it from Jirou before, but Yoko and Adelle could barely follow our conversation.

「Yoko, do you understand anything?」

「Not at all…」

I didn’t intend to leave them as outsiders, but it was difficult to explain.

It’s impossible to have them join the conversation if they can’t understand the content.

「I was also investigating you when I investigating missing people report in the previous world. By the way, your parents seemed to start cultivating plants using vinylhouse」

(TL: A type of greenhouse using vinyl. Look it up)

「…what about my co-workers?」

When I was reminded of my original world, I was concerned with the co-workers I left behind. Did they do well without me? Have they found someone to replace me? What about my paycheck?

「They were really worried. They think you got caught in an accident somewhere」

「I-is that so…」

I felt bad for making them worry. But this is not a regular accident.

This is a huge accident that transported someone to a totally different world.

「And now, the reason why we talked about this. The prince was telling you about a nasty guy. That person… came from our world. An otherworlder」

「Someone from our……」

It was the worst scenario. Having someone like Jirou would be reliable as a friend, but he would make a terrible enemy. I can’t confuse them when I sing Spongebob Squarepants right in front of their faces… Maybe if I sing Dora the Explorer instead?

「I don’t know the name or the face, but that person was called 『Sniper Princess』 among the enemy soldiers. She uses long range weapons such as handguns, throwing knives, handguns, machinegun, rifles… However, she became nasty when she uses her heavy ranged weapons like rocket-launchers and anti-materiel rifle. Perhaps the game she played is…」(TL: The raw says 対物ライフル – taibutsu raifuru. Based on my googling skills, is a sort of lens to in science stuff. I think I’ll settle with the nastiest rifle in fallout universe)

「The VR FPS online game 『Commando City』 isn’t it?」

I caught Jirou’s words.

I played the game too. The players are placed as soldiers where gunfights were spread throughout the city.

You can’t really do anything nasty there. It’s just regular MMO FPS. But some mods can replace an a.s.sault rifle skin into a giant purple d.i.l.d.o that shoots white projectiles.

「Exactly. That person is the guardian G.o.ddess of the iron fortress」

「Is that person that strong? Even if she attacked from a long distance, we can always bombard her with magic…」

Adelle b.u.mped a question to Jirou.
