Chapter 1
The intense howl of the wind, as if it was knocking on the oke Haruyuki from his shallow sleep
In the darkness, as he listened while under the mattress, he could hear nulassIt seeo
For sure, during the night, this ould bloay most of the cherry blossoms from the trees around the apart was a season of melancholy for Haruyuki
There were two reasons for that First, the humidity and temperature would rise For Haruyuki, whose sweat function was double that of noran to become moist
And then there was the other reason: his school year would change His long suffered days of being bullied were finally over, and he had so his class shi+fted is nothing other than harass[1] the, and thinking about it made him feel faint
At the very least, for the last few hours of Spring break, trying to extend it a little wouldn't warrant any punishment
While thinking like that, Haruyuki searched on the bed's top panel and got hold of his Neuro Linker He put it on from the back of his neck and turned it on, and with the sound of a light an, then after the five senses connection check was completed, a half transparent virtual desktop appeared in front of his eyes
At the bottoht of his view, he took a look at the tihed, then took a deep breath and opened his mouth
”Burst”
Link
He was going to sing that e received' sound, a voice call icon lit up blue white
He touched it with his right index finger without thinking, and realized at the same time that the call was from his childhood friend two floors below
”Haru, are you awake?”
When the soft voice echoed in his head, Haruyuki was slightly shocked Chiyuri who normally sleeps at 10pm and should not wake up noup at this hour? And for what?
While pushi+ng the tangled thoughts to a corner of his ht voice
”Just nooke up”
”The wind, is pretty a unable to sleep is so else”
”Unable to sleep!? You!?”
As he blurted that out, Chiyuri immediately shouted ”Hey!”
”You, who do you think I am In the first place, the reason I can't sleep is Haru's fault!”
”Huh? M-Me?”
”That's right You, today it's already yesterday, in the evening before I went hoht have a scary dream, but absolutely do not remove your Neuro Linker, or turn it off', you said After being told that, being uneasy and unable to sleep is a matter of course!”
To be truthful, around 10 hours ago, Haruyuki did say that to Chiyuri
The reason was siame software «Brain Burst», after its install was coht for scars in the heart like trau theo, the «Duel Avatar»
Half a year ago, Haruyuki hiht that he obtained Brain Burst The details were scattered so he could not remember, but the result froe helmet headed silver avatar, «Silver Crow»
While re his sore disappointment fondly at that time, Haruyuki answered Chiyuri
”NNo choice If you don't have that dream, then your crucial duel avatar won't be created Also I just thought of it, do you actually have any emotional trauma”
”That, you dare say it! I have trauo, in our eleames in the bus and messed up his sense of balance, became badly car sick, and finally, on my lap,”
”Excuse me I am sorry Please don't say anymore”
Provoked by his own trauized However Chiyuri's pursuit didn't stop, and she continued to complain as if her puffed up face could be seen
”Ah, now that I reize that time Perfect, you can return what you o”
”WhWhat!? How o was that the statute of limitations is over!”
”The 'statute of limitations' will become obsolete words soon, hat the news said the other day”
To be truthful, after all of japan's public spaces were set up with «Social Camera Net», the statute of lio However if they followed this trend, then Haruyuki didn't kno much he needed to pay Chiyuri back for what he owed her
”The «Special Law of Childhood Friends»have a one year statute of limitations”
After he hed with his real mouth, and sent out the question from his mind at the same time
”So then, how do I pay you back? Again, the «Enji Shop» jumble parfait?”
”I feel that the taste at that place got worse recently It ed to a milk mixture hey, that's not it It's troublesoht noill open the gate”
”Huh?”
While he was still blinking from the unexpected order, Chiyuri had already cut the voice connection at her end As he watched the icon fade, Haruyuki wondered what she wanted at this tiuts to disobey either, so as ordered, he sang the command with his flesh voice
”Direct Link”
At that moment, with a slush sound effect, the dim scene of his roos of his body surface and weight were also cut, and then Haruyuki slowly fell into the darkness With the Neuro Linker's «Full Dive» function, only his consciousness was released into the net
In the view of Haruyuki, as enjoying the floating feeling, a few round access gates came near him from below Those, were net entrances that could be dived into The Global Net VR spaces recorded in his favorites list, his apartment's ho was there as well Haruyuki extended his unseen right arm that way
Soon a virtual pull occurred, and Haruyuki's consciousness was drawn to the sh with a Supon sound, in front of his eyes, a calht expanded—
”UUwaaa”
The scene that appeared made him involuntarily shout out
Usually, a normal Home Net's VR space wasRoole Roos not possible in the real world like large space or decorations being customized as mostly fun places
However right nohat spread out wide under Haruyuki's eyes were, objects with many different shapes and sizes— a sea of cushi+ons
Square walls did not seem to exist Under a lovely blue sky, the pastel-colored cushi+ons were piled up as far as the horizon Haruyuki fell right into the ain landed on his behind
”Wh-What is this”
While looking at the yellow giraffe cushi+on lying flat right in front, the elephant cushi+on beside it, and also the strangely shaped one beside it and ain
