Episode 5 My sister

I wickedly lifted the corners of my mouth and gave a vigorous chop to their deeply-rooted relationship, severing the bonds between them.

What a pain!

　Zaaaaaah!

　The couple turns around in horror for a moment as the shape of their love is vertically cut off from behind them.

　But it's too late.

　At the speed of light, I have the smile of an angel on my face.

　I'm going to make the most of my lovely 10 something year old looks and harass the couple.

It's just a prank by a cute girl!

　She's just excited to be in a VRMMO for the first time!　Appeal.

This way, nothing will go wrong.

Most people would say, "It's what little girls do, it's what they do.

　This is what one half of the couple, an ethereal-looking man, would say.

I used the momentum of my chop to get between them and run past them.

I feel refreshed and the wind on my cheeks.

　The two of them are torn apart by me, helplessly.

　As expected, the couple didn't blame me for anything, and they didn't leave me alone ---- in a daze.

It's cute.

　Suddenly I felt a soft touch on my back. The next thing I know, two arms are thrown around my chest, invading my armpits. Then my legs lifted off the cobblestones.

What a girl!　She's so cute."

　Apparently, a woman picked him up in her arms.

　I never thought that my cuteness would be avenged.

　I'm sorry.

----

----

　I was about to give the Tenchu Tenchu to those who flirt even in online games, when a couple held my hands and showed me around the "Pioneer City of Michelangelo".

　Yes, my hands are being held by this couple.

　The man is holding my right hand and the woman is holding my left hand as they take a friendly tour of the city.

The man is on his right and the woman on her left.

Stop it, you're embarrassing me.

　I'm more embarrassed by what you call me.

Well, as for me, I've been taking advantage of the fact that I look like a girl to make me feel at home.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who can't wait to get back on the swing set.

　It's quite fun.

"This is the item shop."

　This is where you'll find all the items you need.

"This is a very expensive section of Michelangelo, but it's very effective.

　The male player who adds more detail to Elina's words is called Yoshio.

　Both of the avatars look to be in their early twenties.

　When I asked them about it, they told me that both of them were beta testers, and that they had only played Clan Clan for a fortnight a month ago, when it was officially launched today.

　So they are familiar with the structure of this early city, Michelangelo.

Elina and Yoshio's explanations are easy to understand.

　In other words, I never gave in to those hateful people.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

　This is not a game of chance.

I mean, it's the starting point of the adventure, the initial city, but "Michelangelo" is too vast.

　But as soon as they showed us around, we knew why. The reason for this is that there are a lot of mercenaries, so-called "mass players", coming and going in this city in anticipation of the launch of the service.

　The initial town had to be big enough to accommodate the mass of players.

"You have a beautiful hair colour, Taro. I also love those sparkly blue particles ・・・・・・・・・・. What kind of equipment do you have?"

Huh?

　When I give a distracted reply, Elina gives me a serious look.

In the initial character creation, the hair colour was not supposed to be silver ・・・・・・・.

　In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it for a lot of things.

I got chills and answered honestly.

"Well, no, it's just a scan of what it looks like. ......"

Oh, so it's a real module after all. I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

　I've never heard of silver hair not existing in the character creation section in the first place.

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

'Ettan, it's not so easy to ask about real things. Taro is in trouble."

Yoshio-san, who took the liberty of reminding me about my character creation, is there to protect me. Good one, Yasashio.

"Hmm, yes. Sorry, Taro.

Elina poses apologetically with one hand in front of her face.

No, it's fine."

'But, but, what are those grains that light up in response to your long hair?　That's the only thing I want you to tell me. Please tell me."

Yes, that's right. I noticed earlier, after Elina admired my beauty, that small blue particles were scattered from my hair.

Like tiny fireflies, they glow and scatter and disappear.

I didn't notice it at all until it was pointed out to me because my hair was almost completely swept back and out of sight.

To be honest, I don't even know why I'm faintly luminous.

Like the default settings for character creation?

　I can't help it, so I'll just answer appropriately.

"This is also from the beginning, but ...... can't you make it like this?"

"I didn't see anything like that."

　Elina asked suspiciously.

　For a female pig, she's a bit annoying.

Do you want your hair to sparkle so much too?

"Don't be so inquisitive, Ettan."

But Yoshi, Taro's hair is so beautiful.

Well, I won't deny it.

I want ...... to be cute. I want to be an angel, Taro.

I am afraid of Elina, who comes close to my face with an ecstatic smile.

I think it might be the effect of the rare title that comes with it.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　A title.

　I'm sure you've heard of the title 'The Old Girl'.

　I'm going to check that title again.

"The Old Loli ".

A magical girl whose appearance does not match her substance. She has the soul of an old man in her young vessel, which allows her to act far more efficiently than the others. She is a witch herself, with a huge amount of magic power flowing out of her hair to keep her beautiful.

Acquisition condition: Rejuvenation.

Potency: Triple the amount of skill points gained at level up.

　The sight of the enormous magic power overflowing from her hair is ...... witch itself.

　...... This is it.

　This title is the reason why my hair is sprinkled with sky blue particles.

Should we tell them?

"Well, it's true that no mercenary player has such a rare title at the beginning of his career. ......"

With Yoshi's self-completion, I decide that it's better not to make any public statements about my title.

Human jealousy and envy are scary. It is only because of these feelings that I have been messing around with these two people.

I've heard from a good friend of mine, Kouya, who is a net-gamer, that in online games you can get hacked just for having a rare weapon.

And this is the world of Clan Clan, where players fight each other for equipment, items and money.

It would be better to keep quiet.

Is a title really worth that much?"

　It would be suspicious to remain silent, so I will ask for details of the title.

'No, not really...'

"Some of the titles are quite easy to get."

"Yes, yes. But most of them don't have any special effect on the mercenary player."

"Yes, yes. It's really just a name you get. You can even display the titles you've earned so that other mercenary players can see them, you know?"

Hmmmmm. Like George, the Clan and Clan are mercenaries who can't even see each other's names unless they are friends or in combat.

　So making your title visible to others is like showing off or showing off your power?

"But there are some titles that have some effect on the mercenary player."

Well, even that's a very minor thing. Still, it's better to have it than not, and during the beta test, having a title that affects your status was a hot topic, you know?"

What was it like?" Taro

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you get through the day, but I'm not sure what it will be.

"There was also a lot of talk about a guy who had the title of 'The Library of All Things'. I heard a rumour that it cost less skill points to learn magic than the others."

It's a bit of an exaggeration. It would upset the balance of the game.

　I know, because I hold a title that is even more absurd than "The Library of All Things," in which you get three times as many skill points when you level up.

　I'm sure there are titles like that out there.

'What's the matter, Taro?　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money. This is a great way to get the most out of your time with your family and friends.

"What if...? What if there was a title that gave you double the amount of skill points when you leveled up?

Interrupting Elina, I asked Yoshio.

"Haha, if I had that kind of skill, I'd be a riot."

It's a dream skill that everyone wants."

My title. It's triple.

　This is a title that must be kept secret at all costs.

"Are the conditions for obtaining such a rare title made public?"

　Anyway, all the titles that Elina and her friends have told me about are very useful and I would like to have them if I could.

Hmmm... there are definitely some ...... titles with published conditions for earning them, but most of them are a mystery. They're hiding it." Yoshio

I knew it.

　In contrast to Yoshio, who spoke with a sullen expression, Elina took over the explanation cheerfully.

"There's a lot of depth to this game, partly because it's intentionally hidden by the title holders. There's so much more to the game than just the fields that were opened up in the beta test, and there are still areas to explore. There's also a lot of hidden events." Elina

That's for sure.

　There's a lot to do with alchemy.

　There are so many things to try.

"And it's hard to communicate with the clan."

What's that supposed to mean?"

"The management forbids the publication of strategy sites and similar information on forums and threads that are not officially controlled." Elina

"I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm not sure what to make of it either. They're also shutting down private blogs, accusing them of violating the rules."

　"Seriously?" Taro

I'm sure the terms of use say that you can't share or leak any information about this product. I think it was written on the back of the package, but in this day and age, it's impossible. How much effort are you putting into controlling information?

"I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bit of trouble with the whole 'stuffed snowflake' thing."

'Official threads and forums are also restricted, and comments are deleted.

Ha, ha. ......

That's thorough.

"So it's hard to keep accurate information. Even so, some people who have saved the content of the site have passed it on to others."

"The only place we can exchange information now is in the threads on the official website. The truth is that we are in the dark."

There is no denying that we are completely controlled by the management.

　But there are rumours and traditions that are passed on from word to word.

　The mercenary players who rely on them to push forward.

"It's like another world where you're not really allowed to use the power of ...... civilisation."

A world of mystery. The Klan Klan's "Tsukinotea".

It's a worthwhile adventure ......"

Elina and Yoshio were looking at me lovingly for some reason.

　It's disgusting.

I was talking to Elina and Yoshio, exploring Michelangelo, when I suddenly realized it was around 11 am.

I have to meet up with my sister soon.

　I had a chat with a couple of them while they told me where to meet my sister and where the "church" was, but I got some useful information.

'Oh, by the way, you and the lady were meeting at the church, weren't you?'

"Yes." Taro

"Then you can see the church just over there." Yoshio

When I looked towards where Yoshio was pointing, I saw a church that looked like it had been built in the Middle Ages.

　In front of a large door, as if to protect the church, two soldiers in blue armor stand, and from a distance can be seen. I judge them to be NPCs because I can see their names.

"Deus, ......, your lady has chosen a good meeting place."

Maybe they're beta testers?"

The couple's eyes are sharp as they look at the guardians of the church.

　The blue-armoured soldiers are called Deus the God Soldier.

　That's a big name.

"Well, um..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but when I see Deus, the first trauma ・・・・"  Taro

'Don't worry about that, Taro. But where's your sister?"

Oh, no. I'm fine here. Thank you for telling me where the church is." Taro

'Oh, so this is where we say goodbye to Taro?　Let's stay together just a little longer."

Elina squats down to emphasise her breasts.

Her breasts are drawn together by her arms and are a sight for sore eyes.

　No, I know it's not intentional because I'm dealing with a girl, but my eyes are glued to her.

　They are big.

Why not?　I want to say hello to your sister." Elina

Oh, no. But ......" Taro

I have to explain to my sister about my appearance.

　Why am I, who in real life is supposed to be a man, able to handle a girl character in this crank run where gender identity is not allowed?

I don't feel comfortable talking about it in front of other people, and I really don't want this couple around if I can help it.

"I don't want them to be around.　Taro is in trouble."

　Nice one, Yoshio.

"So how about just a friend?　You're so cute, Taro, you'll be able to fight off any strange people who come near you."

The smiling Elina is the number one candidate for the pervert at the moment.

But my sister tells me it's dangerous to make friends without permission.

　She runs away with a childishly safe refusal.

　I'm not going to get used to this kind of rear end.

"Look, Taro-chan says this, and Etta says this is the place to be."

　Yoshio admonishes Elina, but she doesn't show any inclination to give in.

'Josie doesn't know what she's talking about!　In this world of clans and clans, where mercenary players kill each other all the time, there's this cute little angel!　There are only a few children under the age of fifteen in this cutthroat world, and this girl is the youngest of the bunch at ten or eleven or so!　And she's a beautiful girl, with silvery blue hair and mysterious particles in her hair!　Did you hear what Yoshi said?　She's the one who said she was scanned in when she created her character!　That means she looks like this in real life too!　She's a beautiful gaijin girl!　And she speaks Japanese!　I'm not even a man, how can I leave such a lovely girl alone?"

Eli revealed her true feelings out loud and went crazy.

　The mercenary players who were walking around her reacted to her voice and paid attention to us.

Hey, did you hear that? Player a

You think she's going to be as cute as she is in the real module?" Player b

Well, there's no such thing as silver hair in ......." male player c

So that's what you'll look like in real life ......?

Lololololololololololololololololololololololololololol

...... Elina, calm down."

　Oh, Yoshio-san doesn't use the nickname "Ettan" for Elina-san.

It's .......

　Elina finally noticed the eyes around her at Yoshio's attention.

"If we don't, Elina's carelessness and carelessness may lead to a real pervert approaching Taro-chan. ......"

"I'm sorry, Taro-chan. ......"

I'm sorry you're going through this,......, but I don't think it's safe to leave you alone here. In the event you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.　I'd like to say hello and apologise."

The gentlemanly attitude of Yoshio-san, who was worried about me, put pressure on me and I decided to introduce the two of them to my sister.

Haha ......

----

----

　The door of the church.

The wooden door, built into the stone blocks, was closed.

　It was four metres high. The door was four metres high, and though it looked old, there was no hint of the fragility of age. Rather, it exuded an atmosphere of dignity, a realm that only the aged can enter.

　On either side of it, Deus, the blue-armored soldier of the gods, stands guard.

　In front of this iron-clad doorway, a beautiful woman stands majestically with her arms crossed, flanked by two soldiers.

　Her long, jet-black hair is pinned high on her head, and her long, slit eyes are fixed on her surroundings.

　She is a ponytailed lady with long limbs and an outstanding style.

　She wears a cloak of leather armour and carries a weapon on her hip that looks like a double-bladed sword.

My sister.

　She's my sister, without a doubt.

　I'm not sure if they've scanned her as she is in real life and reflected that in the character. The only part that differs from my memory is that her hair has grown a little longer than it did when I last saw her.

　I stand in front of my sister with a couple in tow.

　The pony-tailed beauty is staring off in the opposite direction.

　She must be looking for me.

"Taro, ......, the sister you're talking about..."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not ......

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

　Our eyes meet.

　My sister stares at me with suspicion.

Well, what shall I say?

　This game is a VRMMO with no gender identity.

　If you look like a girl, you are a girl in real life.

　My appearance is that of a silver-haired foreign beauty of about 10 years old. What older sister would believe that her brother, who was a normal high school boy until yesterday, has transformed into a beautiful girl?

"Hmm, Michelle?　Taro?"

　Ah, this dignified, beautiful voice that is said to charm everyone.

　It's definitely my sister.

　It's not easy to tell if it's my sister or me.

"Sister."

　I reply nonchalantly.

'Oh, is that what you call ...... Taro?

"Yes, that's my sister."

"Yeah, but, what?　Taro, aren't you looking prettier than usual?"

"I don't think I've ever been prettier.

"I don't think I've ever been pretty."

"Oh, you're my sister."

"And you're Taro."

She easily believes that the beautiful girl is her brother.

　Since she went to university and started living on her own, she rarely sees him anymore. That's why I feel a little nostalgic when we talk as usual.

"There's a reason I'm like this." Taro

...... Taro, well, we'll talk about that later. ......

That's my sister.

　Her decision to leave the reference to me in beautiful girl mode for later is as witty as ever.

Who are those two people behind you?

　My sister glares at the two couples as if she were shooting an enemy.

'Uh, the guides?

'Oh my God, Taro, we're so close!

　"I'm not sure what to make of this."

　"It's a great way to get to know the people in your area."

"I'm not sure who they are, but they're a couple of thieves. What are you doing to my Taro?"

"You are Singh, the Wind Hunter, aren't you? Why are you in this early town ......?"

　Oh, what, the wind?

I thought you'd be on the front lines by now. ......

See what I mean?

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.

Elina-san and Yoshio-san take a step back at this belligerent move.

"I'm not sure what to say. You can't just start a PvP game with Deus in the vicinity and expect to get screwed over."

'Yes, Mr Singh. Let's calm down. If we fight here, Deus will subdue us and we'll both be penalised."

　She glances momentarily at the blue-armored NPCs standing on either side of her.

Is Deus the God Soldier an NPC who intervenes in disputes between mercenary players?

　Is he like a police in the city?

　The sister seemed to have listened to the couple's warning, but...

　She had an irreverent smile on her face.

"What's the point?　Isn't there enough time to cut you down before I'm held up by Deus the God Soldier?"

Apparently, from the way my sister talks about it, we are both beta testers and there was a row between the couple and her during the tester period.

I say to my sister, who is about to start fighting.

I say, "Sister, stop."

"Why not?　I want to kill these guys.

　Without taking her eyes off the couple, the sister replies in a noisy manner.

'Yeah, maybe later.

　If we start fighting now, my lack of understanding of the Clan and the Clan will slow me down. My weapon is a wooden sword. I don't think I'll be able to fight.

　In addition, it is uncomfortable to see the two frightened couples and the people who guided us here to be killed by my sister.

　I don't like the rear, but I'm kind of grateful for it.

Tensions between the two sides are high, although the couple seem to be quite reserved.

　It seems that things can still be settled peacefully now.

"Sister".

　She tugs lightly on her sister's sleeve, insisting no.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bit of trouble with the way things are going.

Then clap your hands with a pan.

He clapped his hands and said, "I'll let you off the hook this time, Taro. Next time we meet, we'll ----"

You understand, don't you?　And I'm flying silent pressure.

"I was just showing Taro around." Elina

'Wait, Ettan. We've got to get out of here." Yoshio

"I want to thank you for showing my Taro around." Older sister

"Thank you, Yoshio and Elina."

"You're welcome."

"But don't you ever get involved with my Taro again."

"What?"

Elina is astonished.

Do you understand?"

Players are free to interact with each other on their own ......

Do you understand?

"Yes. But, Taro, if you need anything else, just give me a call."

"No, you idiot. Come on, let's get out of here.

"

　Disappointed, the couple disappeared into the shadows.

"So, Taro."

"What, sister?"

I've done what you asked. Now you're gonna answer my question, okay?

Uh, well, yeah.

'Why is Taro a beautiful girl?　I thought we weren't allowed to create characters that didn't match their real gender."

She asked me a reasonable question.
