“Why do you know my name?”
The girl asked.
Her puzzled expression is overly natural, and has deeply touched Shun’s heart.
Shun sees her slowly turning around to face him.
She seems real from head to toe, and is no different from “Rosary” ’s image at all.
No, to have appeared in that manner, won’t it be even stranger to suspect her?
This girl must be the real Rosary.
She came out from the game.
“…………”
Shun suddenly felt hard to breathe.
His fingers kept trembling, his mind a total blank as well.
Because his blood is flowing too quickly, there is a paralyzing feeling as though he is being electrocuted running through his body.
Rosary is standing right before his eyes.
But, he does not know what to do next.
Even his thoughts are frozen entirely.
Shun can only think secretly in his heart: Meeting with a scenario that has never happened before in the history of mankind, just what is the most logical thing to do?
He closes his eyes, and then shakes his head.
I should be a little happier at a time like this!
Thinking that, Shun decides to look at her once more.
Yet there is no one before him.
“Where, where did she go!?”
Just as Shun nervously looks around, and realized that the door is open……
Clang!
The sound of something being smashed could be heard from the first storey.
Shun walks out of the room, and stands at the stairway looking down…… and sees Rosary squatting at the door, inspecting whether there is any items amidst the broken pieces of the vase.
She is a hero after all.
Rosary stands up, and leaves the wet doorway with an unhappy expression, walking into the living room on her own.
“寶菈! 甘德! 尼特! Are you around?”
She seems to be looking for her companions.
Shun hurriedly dashes down the stairs, and then turns at the door.
Then, he spotted Rosary at the entrance of the living room.
At this moment, there are some words right at the centre of his vision.
“…… Huh……?”
Just like captions appearing on television, instead of saying those are words…… they should be said to be just like the command window in the game.
Rosary on the other hand is staring intensely at the table in the kitchen.
On the table is a box of cream puffs that have been taken out from the fridge but was left there, forgotten.
And Rosary is staring at that box, motionless.
…… Could it be……
Shun is a big fan of video gaming originally, so he understood the relationship between the current situation and the command window instantly.
But, how do I input commands without a controller?
Rosary stares at the pastry box that is giving off aromatic fragrance, her eyes seem a little sad, and just as Shun can’t bear it and thinks to himself “I wish I can let her eat the cream puffs”……
The command window suddenly vanishes.
Even though there is no sound effect that can usually be heard when you input a command, but there is that kind of feeling there.
Following that, Rosary as if released, walks towards the table, and then with a little force opens the box, and grabs one of the puffs with her hand.
She then places the puff to her nose and sniffs it, and after staring at the puff for some time…… opens her mouth to take a bit.
She then suddenly stopped moving, as if time froze.
And her body began trembling.
At that moment, it was as though jagged edges appeared at her body.
What a fateful encounter.
She blinks her round eyes twice, and then the cheeks, stuffed with puff, reddens slowly.
And so, Rosary began indulging herself in the puffs.
She opens her eyes wide, with a puff in each of her hands, she bites into them one by one. Each time she bites into a puff, she would shiver continuously, and show a blissful expression.
At this moment, Shun suddenly thought of something.
“DRAGON BLESS”------ “DB” in short, there is no such action as “eat” in the game.
So, this is the first time that Rosary has “eat” in the real world.
This is also a very incredible thing.
Even so……
Rosary is still wolfing the puffs……
Her mouth is stuffed with puffs like a scene from a manga, the extremely relaxed expression is like a certain Alps girl who is always running on plains.
There is sticky cream all around her mouth.
“…………”
……Huh…….?
Shun suddenly felt that something is not right.
No matter how he looks at her, she seems a little different from the elegant “Hero Princess” in the game.
Shun takes another look at Rosary who is taking big bites, munching on the puffs.
…… Weird…………?
After a while, she has already finished eating one box of puffs.
She looks at the empty box, depressed, and then……
Turns back to look at Shun silently.
“Sorry…… There is no more.”
Shun got the message from Rosary’s eyes, and stutters in response.
Rosary shows a very disappointed expression immediately.
“What is this?”
She points at the box and asks.
“Hmm……”
Shun seems hesitant on how to reply.
“That is a cream puff.”
“Cream puff?”
She looks at the empty box with an unwilling look, as if unsure of how to express her feelings, she says softly:
“Mmm…… How powerful.”
…… How powerful……?
“By the way……”
Shun has no chance of interrupting her.
“……Who are you?”
She looks at Shun with a very serious expression, completely different from just now.
“I feel as though we are bonded in some way, even if it is just for an instant…… But, I am sure I felt something.”
Could it be that she is talking about that command window just now?
“How should I say this…… It is not an unfamiliar feeling, even though I am not very sure, but I have always had that kind of feeling. Tell me, you…… No, please tell me, who are you?”
What an instant that goes beyond normal logic.
The heroine of the game felt the link with the player, and asked the question “Who are you?”
The feelings that kept emerging made his temple a little numb, and just as Shun intends to say his name……
He suddenly thought of a certain coincidence that can make people misunderstand very easily.
“Please tell me your name.”
“Ermm…… Mmm……”
As he is hesitating, the mobile phone in his pocket gives off the ring tone of having received a text message.
Rosary shows a very tense expression instantly, and then gives a violent reaction.
Because Shun likes the game “DRAGON BLESS” very much, and so the ring tone he uses is “the sound effect of activation of a spell”.
“Danger!!”
“Woah!?”
Shun was knocked onto the floor by Rosary.
Rosary uses her right hand to hold onto her necklace, and at this moment, the necklace gives off light particles, and from it appears the handle of a sword.
She reaches out to grab the handle, and then draws her sword, waving it.
Sssss~~~~!
Rosary gives off a strong shockwave, the wallpaper on the wall is cut instantly, the calendar on the wall is sliced into two, the glass of the bowl cabinet are all shattered, the whole house wavers non-stop as though a typhoon is passing by.
Crack……
There is glass shards all over the kitchen, within a short moment, it looks just like the scene of an action movie (The scene after the shoot).
“…… Did it escape?”
She hugs Shun tightly, and looks around.
Only now does Shun realize one thing.
If she goes outside, or if other people gets to know her existence, things can become very serious.
But, right now Shun cannot think of anything more complicated than that.
Because his face is currently buried right into Rosary’s chest.
“…….!”
Rosary’s chest is well-developed than they look, and Shun can feel her body temperature directly, and that unbelievable devil…… No, angel-like bounciness.
……D, damn! This is not good!
The situation, especially at the lower half of his body, is very a very critical state.
Shun wants to leave immediately, but Rosary is hugging the back of his head, and has him secured tightly at her chest, the incredible force is so strong even a high school guy like him cannot escape, and he can hardly breathe.
“Mm~~~! Mmm~~~! Mmm~~~!”
Just at this moment, the sound of the door opening came from the doorway.
And the footsteps of someone hurriedly running into the house.
“Shun-kun! What happened!?”
That voice belongs to Shun’s cousin Mikoto, as she lives just next door, she probably heard that loud noise just now?
…… Don’t come here! Don’t!!
But, the door still opens mercilessly.
“Shun-kun!”
Opening the door is his delicate and beautiful cousin Mikoto nee-san------ Kobato Mikoto.
All she sees is the kitchen in ruins and the strangely dressed Rosary, and the scene of her younger cousin being buried in Rosary’s chest.
Mikoto’s entire body froze, as if struck by lightning, the focal point of her eyes flutters off somewhere, and…...
“Shun-kun became a good-for-nothing!”
After saying that, with a Kadong, Mikoto faints right at the scene
Even though Shun saw his cousin drop before him, he did not become panicky and make a lot of noise, as she faints frequently.
At this moment, Rosary suddenly lets go, and Shun successfully escape from her hug.
“…………”
Then, she went into a daze for some reason.
Shun hurriedly changes the ring tone of his phone, and takes a look at the message he received just now.
It was a message sent by his friend Uehara, and the content says……
<<Did Rosary at your side disappear as well?>>
