——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 →

After going back to the capital, I eat dinner at the inn, take a bath, and return to my room early.
All sorts of things happened; I seem to have been a bit tired.
I apparently sank into the bed the moment I got to my room; the next morning, my hair is in an amazing state.

I spend a fair bit of time trying to fix it, and in the end I give up and put on a hat.

I also got up late, so by the time I show my face at the guild it’s almost noon.
Liza is at reception today too.
I start to greet her and she beckons me over, a little wave.

“Good morning. What’s the matter?”
“Ouka, what did you do yesterday?”

She asks with a troubled smile.
…Yesterday? What did I do.

“Uh. I bought a holster and went home to visit.”
“Hmm… I don’t really understand, but you have a visitor. That boy over there.”

I turn as told, and there’s a nervous, noble-looking boy.
…Who was that. I feel like I’ve seen him.

“O-ou. Thanks for yesterday.”
“…. Ah, the young guy who picked a fight yesterday.”

He’s dressed so fine I didn’t recognize him.
Clothes like that—is this guy a noble.

“…I think you’re the one who picked the fight.”
“So, what? What’s up?”
“No, um… yesterday was my bad. Sorry.”

He puts a hand to the back of his head and apologizes.
He looks vaguely sheepish.

“…Haa? What, you came all this way to apologize?”
“No, it isn’t that, exactly…”
“Then what.”
“Uh… um, well.”

…What. Half-baked.
Where did yesterday’s attitude go.

“I don’t really get it, but I accept the apology. If you don’t have other business, I have somewhere to be, so another time?”
“Ah, ou… later.”

Weird guy. Did he come all this way to apologize.
Scrupulous, unlike his looks. Or is it exactly like his looks?
…Whatever. Anyway, to Ellie’s shop.
It should be about the time we promised.

A Midnight Confession

Night.
The hour even vampires rub their eyes.

In King Zenon’s study in Romulus Castle, there were three figures.
King Zenon, Princess Charlotte, and Lady Ulrika.

“—I thought I would be killed… but Natasha fought the lesser dragon with everything she had…”

In the quiet study, only Princess Charlotte’s voice could be heard.
She was reporting the events of the field exam to King Zenon.

“But she was no match for the lesser dragon… after that, Ulrika and Olivia saved us.”

Princess Charlotte continued, voice tense.
King Zenon’s expression was severe.

“If Ulrika and Olivia hadn’t come, Natasha and I would have died… it was all because of my foolish actions, so… um…”

Princess Charlotte looked straight at King Zenon.
A serious gaze, full of resolve.

“Natasha, and everyone on the team, only went along with my selfishness. So please, if there is to be severe punishment, let it be me alone—”

“That’s enough. I understand…” Continue reading →

When I asked, the soldier nodded right away.

“Of course! Mages are treasures of the town, of the country, and of the world! There could be no one who would refuse you. You mentioned looking for someone; we will assist.”
“Ah, that’s all right.”
“I see…”

He kind of drooped. A little like a puppy… no, that’s not it. I don’t want a dog this big.

“Then please, Lady Witch. Allow us to escort you.”
“Eh. Ah, um… Shouldn’t I wait in line…?”
“Making a Lady Witch wait is unthinkable!”
“Haa…”

I mean, I don’t mind. Getting in without being made to wait is really nice.
But somehow. I can tell there’s some kind of purpose. More than special treatment, I think it’s so I don’t get tired of waiting and go somewhere else.

I mean, if it were just a guide, you wouldn’t need two soldiers. One of them isn’t saying anything and is just staring at me. A little scary.
The soldier who spoke to me leads, and I follow. The other soldier is behind me. Guard, or so I don’t get away, I wonder which.

‘This is it, Rita-chan’s going to get caught?’
‘Very well, then it’s war!’

“I’m not doing that.”
“Lady Witch?”
“It’s nothing.” Continue reading →
