Accel World Vol 3 Chapter 1 (2/2)
”That is an Anomalocaris A creature from the Cambrian Period”
Suddenly Chiyuri's voice echoed from behind him, and Haruyuki turned around
Standing on top of probably an Acanthaster like black star-shaped cushi+on, was an elegant avatar Its whole body covered in soft looking light purple fur, dressed in a sn, was Chiyuri's avatar that she also used in the Umesato middle school Local Net
With a 60 cat-like face, Chiyuri blinked her large bluish green colored eyes as she snorted
”You are still using that avatar It's about ti better”
After being told that, Haruyuki glanced down at his own body
What was there hat he used at school, a pink pig-type avatar With an almost ball shaped body, and round limbs A flat nose stuck out froh he could not see it hi out of his head
It was a shape that you could not call cool or cute, and actually it was not an avatar that Haruyuki himself selected, but somehow he continued to use it As Haruyuki moved his nose, he responded as if it was an excuse
”I have already gotten used to the sensations of this body, and changing it noill be troublesome Instead of that earlier I said, 'What is this', was not referring to this strange creature, it's about the whole VR space What is this cushi+on hel heaven”
To be sure, Chiyuri liked cushi+on type stuffed ani on her bed, but this scale ay beyond anything 'What is the total nuht about it, then the cat avatar wiggled her tail with a ribbon and smiled proudly
”Nihihi, isn't it great Recently, as a present for going to the next grade, I got a Home Server expansion and e to edge it is about 15km”
”ReReally!”
At that moment he leaned back in reaction, his round behind slid, and Haruyuki fell in between the elephant and the Anoht With that much capacity, if it was him, he would recreate the battle field around Kursk in 1943 With a er tanks and T-34 tanks placed everywhere, and in the sky BF109 fighters You would cry out, 'What a blood tingling spectacle'
”H-Hey Chiyu, let me play with it a bit”
”No!!”
While he was still talking, he was coldly denied, and Chiyuri stuck out her tongue for a ”Be~” between the ss in her mouth
”If I let Haru custo that's oil, steel, and smoke filled”
”Th-That's just fine”
”N-o-W-a-y! Ah geesh, we haven't gotten anywhere in talks at all”
As he looked up at the cat type avatar with her slender arms crossed, Haruyuki finally remembered the reason he was called here
”Ah o-oh yeah Then, what did you want me to do anyway?”
”Just sitting there is fine”
”Huh?”
Not understanding what she s in front as he sat on top of a huge cushi+on, with his head tilted Then, right after—
With a bounce, the cat type avatar jumped in front of him, and without any hesitation, she laid her supple body on top of Haruyuki's legs
”UUwaa!?”
As Haruyuki juht hand held his nose and pulled him back to where he was
”You, becoet about the ti erotic, I will let the Anomalocaris bite you”
”I-I won't! Speaking of which a pillohat do you”
Not answering Haruyuki's excited question, Chiyuri extended her sers and snapped them At that moment, the caled to a night sky with a hugeabove
Under the blinking stars that looked the same as constellations found in picture books— and on top of Haruyuki's knees, Chiyuri stretched widely, lay on her side and curled up
”There isn't, any deep ”
From the mouth that Haruyuki could not see, came a small whisper
”Just, when Haru used to come for sleepovers in my home, I remembered that I soon fell asleep when you became my pillow”
”Wh-When was that”
”Who knows Long long ago”
With a ”Fuwa” yawn, the cat type avatar really closed her eyes
This kind of role, ask Taku
He wanted to say that, but Haruyuki sed back those words While they were young, only Haruyuki had experienced being used as a pillow by Chiyuri Due to Takumu's parent's strict educational policy, he usually did not have a chance to sleep over at either of their homes
But, even so, would a conditional response froo remain till now? Furthermore they were both animal type avatars, and this was a virtual cushi+on heaven created by the Neuro Linker However, of course, he absolutely could no longer imitate this with his real body No, even for VR it was questionable, to be truthful
While that kind of thought spun around in his head, as a calmly
”Unbelievable”
As he groaned involuntarily, Chiyuri, whoht just entered sleep, mumbled in an indistinct voice
”Hey, Haru I, really worked hard”
”Huh? For what?”
”To becoain, ill return Like back then three of us, every day, playing till the sun goes down that time”
There, this time for sure Chiyuri went into a deep sleep To the avatar that was breathing virtual air with a Suu Suu sound echo, he touched the soft fur under her ear, and Haruyuki answered in his chest with a sigh
—There should be soe
—But, soer return to where it was, also exists for sure
A few minutes later, after the Neuro Linker determined that Chiyuri had went into a deep sleep, it automatically canceled Full Dive for her Even after the cat type avatar on his knees disappeared with a bell like sound effect, for a while Haruyuki sat in between the mute stuffed animals
