There is a communication-impaired person at Souha Municipal High School.
Who else: me, Suzusaki Suzuhi.

“Ah, it’s the new-student representative.”

“Hih——”

“What’s her name again, Suzu…”
“Suzu……”
“Right, Suzumori-san.”
“Yeah, yeah, Suzumori-san!”

Pointed at by girls in my year, I flee into the classroom and sit in my seat—my territory—like I’m flinching.
Hello, it’s Suzusaki.

“Scary. Why are high school girls that scary? I have no idea what they’re thinking.”

No, not just high school girls—high school boys, middle school girls, middle school boys—actually all humans are scary. Continue reading →

From near the moon’s surface, straight into space.

“Fourth wave, incoming! Danger! Danger! 〈Gorgon〉 approaching!”

A pulsar-type neutron star comes into view in the background.
The neutron star spits flashes from above and below like a raging spinning top.

And before that top appears——a sphere with something like eight tentacles.

From the ends of those rope-like tentacles, as always, it scatters shots in a raging torrent.

Why this stage is called the human graduation exam.
Because the patterns start disappearing.

Of the eight tentacles, six still have patterns, but two move completely at random.
Those random patterns sometimes take a terrifying shape.

——Someone said, “The scariest bullets in a shooting game are the ones that home in on you.” Continue reading →

“Hahii~, we drank, we ate.”

I walked the night road, lit by magic lamps, in high spirits.
Kira walking beside me, and Gerda going ahead, were each in high spirits as well.

“No, truly. You said a little, but you can hold it quite well, Asha.”
“A-ahahaha, that’s, the wine was good, so it went down easy, I’m sure.”

I answered Gerda’s teasing with something like a joke.
In fact, as wine of this world went, it had felt like they had tried quite hard.
Brewing technique was low no matter what, so there was a lot of poor stuff… it could not be helped.

Even so. Continue reading →

——Three years.
My uniform has changed.——I had become a high schooler.

From three years ago——nine years in VR time—I have been doing “that quest” the entire time.
Total flight hours: 24,324. Add the time I spent on fighter FPS games and total flight time is over 36,000 hours.

They say a pilot needs about 2,000 flight hours to be called a veteran, so 36,000 is something I can brag about a little.

By the “10,000-hour rule” that says 10,000 hours of anything makes you first-rate, that’s three first-rates?

“Swallow, come!”

I stand in front of the apartment I live in and “shout in a small voice.” Continue reading →

Suzusaki Suzuhi—player ID Suu—starts toying with the boss in a fighter modeled on a swallowtail butterfly, a craft named Swallowtail.

She slips the enemy’s barrage in space as if dancing through it, and slams attack after attack into the boss.

A boss hundreds of people together had never been able to pin down, and she is bringing it to heel alone.

The hundreds who gathered for the raid show their shock one after another.

“How is she even fighting in Swallowtail, the weakest frame!? That’s a last-gen machine—!”
“Yeah, but what about the boss’s unavoidable attack—? It’s light-speed. You can’t dodge it!”

And then the light the Swallowtail had been throwing, visible to everyone around, goes out.

“—H-hey, where did the Swallowtail go!?”
“—The boss lost the Swallowtail too!?”
“Y-you’ve gotta be kidding—she killed the searchlights!!”
“Wh… what is that insane move!? ……This is pitch-black space!! There’s no starlight, never mind a moon!! How do you kill the searchlights and still dodge a rain of incoming fire!!”

Yachimata Alice, the person who understands Suu best, cries out at Suu’s answer to the boss fight.

“Suu-san——that’s your answer!?” Continue reading →

Fate Link: Legendia — I Holed Up in the Training Grounds, and When I Came Out, I Was the Strongest. Unmatched in Battle and in Everyday Life.

This is the story of a girl whose own classmates cannot remember her name—Suzusaki Suzuhi.
Her dream is to get famous online and “make friends.”

“Fate Link: Legendia, Chapter 1: Stirring. Challenge the mysterious enemy that seeks to destroy the galaxy!”

One day, a voice suddenly rang out, and the whole world reeled.
It was the starting signal of a mysterious game run by an unknown presence.
Only the chosen could take part.

Suzusaki Suzuhi—a loner, by her own admission and everyone else’s—was chosen as a “player” of that mysterious game.
But Suzuhi was too scared of the enemies, so she spent all her time in VR training mode.
There, in VR training, appeared the highest difficulty no one could clear: 〈Insanity〉.
Suzuhi decided she would become the first person in the world to clear that mode nobody could beat, get famous… and holed up in VR even harder.

Three years later.
Suzuhi, having cleared the highest difficulty, 〈Insanity〉, had become—the strongest player in history!?

——This is the story of a girl whose classmates cannot remember her name—and of that name thundering across the galaxy.

Chapter 18: Rainy Days Are Days Off

When I wake up, it’s pouring.
I can’t see the view outside the window at all.
Rain this bad, it’s hard to even leave the inn, never mind the city.

And so. Today is a day off.

I try organizing my things, but I didn’t bring much to begin with, so it finishes right away.
I genuinely have nothing to do.
I roll around on the bed. I fall off. I hit my head.

Nuoh… that really hurts.

I flop spread-eagle as I am.
A dark room, rain hitting the glass.
Mixed in, my heartbeat. Slow. Beating.

The day I came to the church was a downpour too, apparently.
I don’t remember the details. I only remember that the sound of the rain was terrible.
Just like today.
That’s the oldest memory I have.

Black hair, black eyes.
The same color as the Heroes in the picture books.
Why is that, I wonder.

I have mana, but I can’t use magic.
Apparently I have no power at all to control it.
Why is that, I wonder.

Among children with no parents, I was especially heretical.
When I was little, I thought it was a curse.

And I thought I’d been abandoned because I was a cursed child. Continue reading →

The next day, Romulus Castle.

Teachers of Romulus Academy had been gathered in the audience chamber.
Princess Charlotte and Minister Rudolf were present as well.

On the throne, King Zenon.
Standing before him was an old man with a fine beard.
He was the highest authority of Romulus Academy: Headmaster Neumann, a mage known as the Sage.

“Headmaster Neumann. Sorry for the unreasonable request.”

“Ho ho ho. Don’t concern yourself, King Zenon. It is no great matter.”

King Zenon and Headmaster Neumann spoke in a familiar air.
Their eyes, however, were not smiling at all.
A taut atmosphere flowed, as if they were probing each other.

“Father… your fake smile is far too poor…”

“As unfriendly as ever…” Continue reading →

I know it can’t be helped, but “wild child” might have actually been a pretty big shock. No, yeah. It’s fine. I take pride in my work. Probably. Surely.

“Then, if I may be so bold, I shall give you a simple explanation. It is also the reason I am here.”
“Haa… Please.”

And so Mireille gave me a light explanation of adventurers and the guild.
Adventurers are people registered with the guild, and the guild is an organization that brokers work for adventurers, apparently. At registration they take a hearing and check your aptitude, and you’re sorted into warrior or mage, or something.
Then they introduce work that matches that aptitude.

“Hmm hmm.”
“Of course you cannot take high-difficulty requests immediately. Adventurers have ranks, and work is assigned according to that rank.”
“Hoh hoh.”
“Are you listening?”
“Mm.”

It’s fine. I understand. It’s just that the viewers are a little noisy. Continue reading →

A Pleasant Supper

“Here, our proud seafood stew. Eat plenty!”

So saying, Elma brought a plate steaming hot.
It was supposed to be a single tasting portion, but it looked like quite a lot?
That question blew away the moment the plate was set in front of me.

“Whoa, it looks delicious!”

I could not help raising my voice.
A tidal scent, softly tickling the nose.
Perhaps it was scented with white wine and herbs; it gave off a very appetizing smell, without any fishiness.

And more than anything, the quantity and freshness of the ingredients!
As expected of a port town; they were probably using seafood just taken.
The mussels were plump to bursting, and the chunks of fish were springy.
The vegetables in with them were a little limp, perhaps from being stewed quite a while.
But that was the doneness I liked, so there was no problem.

Was this something like a bouillabaisse?
I was fairly sure I had seen that before tomatoes were brought in, it had been like this.
In any case.

“This is white wine… it will absolutely go.”
“Hoh? You know your stuff, Asha.” Continue reading →
