PART 3
As we arrived at the Central Square, following Shizuku’s instruction, they would by turn entered the crowd to pull in members.

Immediately, the perpetrator Shizuku went first but…

The girl in question, not doing anything special in the circle, she just stood proudly.

In one hand, she hold several sheets of the common currency in this world, Gran bill. With her other hand, she raised a signboard above her head. A litter far from her, I looked at the words that was written on the board.

“Guild member! 1 name 1000 Gran.”

I’m already uncertain what she wanted to do.

In my words, it reeked of vexing scent.

That person also didn’t call out to the surrounding, just gave off strange feeling to the crowd.

That, doesn’t it seem like a human trafficking? It looks like in a meat store where 99 yen for 100 grams, so I didn’t know whether she wanted to buy or sell them. Moreover, I smelled an intense aroma of crime. Of course, no one dared to come closer.

A, see, there’s someone reporting her, then a game master- like person went towards Shizuku to perform his duties.

Soon after that, Shizuku came back to our place with a swollen face.

“Truly, this is why all public servant are so block headed.”

“Public servant huh…. I think you’re miswording it…”

“In any way, my words can’t get through them. I even get suspected of real money trading.”

“…..Rather, what are you doing? There.”

“An?”

I am being glared.

“Why you don’t know. Human = asset strength. If 1 person gives 1000 Gran, I’ll tell that one person to join the guild.”

“You don’t say that you instead receive money!?”

“Of course. Why should I give my money to someone who I don’t even know or see?”

“No no then, what is the money on your hand?”

“There’s a saying that money called for money.”

“….”

Needless to say, I’m sure it’s impossible for her to invite members.

Because from the beginning, she lacked the ability to communicate with other people.

Moreover, that outrageous thing is outside my expectation.

“Even though you’re boasting like crazy, you’re all mouth.”

Hime directed a scornful gaze to Shizuku. Shizuku, who also didn’t have anything to say back, pouted in ‘’ shape.

“Well, I’ll show you. How I’ll easily invite 30 members to our guild.”

While saying something like I’ll take the marriage authority, she with high spirits disappeared into the crowd.

That confident speech, I became uneasy as to what if she really came back with 30 members.
The result---------

I began to wonder why I felt the anxiety in the first place.

Hime put a considerable effort to speak but, with an incomplete sentence like “Ano-“ or “Sono-“, 
people who passed her by didn’t realized it. Sometimes, there’s also a player who responded to Hime but, she said,

“S-shut up! T-t, to talk with me, y- you’re still a thousand years early for that.” Or
“W-what? If you want to become my slave, m-maybe I’ll consider it!?”

She wasted her chance herself.

Really, what did she want to do… it’s too pitiful for the people, isn’t it.

In the end, Hime’s invitation count is zero.

“30 members easily? Fukkuku….”

While looking at the returning Hime, Shizuku hold back her laughter.

“…Mu! I don’t want to be told by you!”

This is the result from the two people, what about the other two? I think, it should be close to this.
Next, the one who will go to invite members is Ricotta.

She usually talked very much but, she became nervous in the center of square and unable to utter out a single word, even if she was called by someone, she just returned a “Nyan” and thus, she became a weirdo.

As Ricotta changed out, Mashu went in.

That’s, maybe it had become her punch line.

She, with her clown joke item, suddenly took out a silk hat and started to play a trick in the crowd.
Outside my expectation, she was showered by attention from the surrounding, but only that.

Not even related to guild member’s invitation, she just received their applause and came back.

“It’s ‘interesting’ but, I couldn’t make friends~”

Her mouth told a disappointment but her face was satisfied. Is this good or bad….

“Really, only useless people are here.”

In the front of the terrible result, she folded her arms. To that attitude, Hime wrinkled her eyebrows.

“Useless, useless. Like you’re one to talk.”

“Ha? You, who showed your sex appeals and can’t even bring one person is the lowest, right.”

“I,I didn’t show that kind of thing! And I don’t want to be labelled as the lowest. If we want to talk about the worst, it’s Ricotta, right?”

“Nyan!? Why (Nyande)!?”

“Right! Aren’t you not doing anything and just stand there blankly.”

“Even though it’s like that, I’m doing my best nya! Moreover, the one who completely didn’t have the will to invite members, Mashu is more useless nya.”

“M-me? I think if everyone has fun then it’s alright, but maybe it’s right, I’m the most useless….. I see,

I’m useless…. Anyhow, I’m a useless person. Yes, it’s always like that…. Lastly, if I have any regret, I just want to see Knight-sama once again… But, that’s also…. Huh? Aa….. Somehow, it’s cold….. very cold…..”

Mashu only moved her mouth, but her avatar was standing upright while gazing at the empty sky. Clearly, something is strange. Not only Ricotta, who brought the subject, Shizuku and Hime also noticed her peculiarity.

This is really…..

I’m really worried whether what is her real body up to.

I promptly drew closer to her and shook her shoulders.

“Wait!? Mashu-san? What’re you doing? Don’t do anything strange, okay.”

“…”
No response

 














“D-don’t go!! Uoi, hello! Come back!”

“Aa, I took off too much clothes. Teehee.”

“Nubuu!?”

Abruptly, Mashu’s avatar came back to life. At the same time, unexpected word also came out so instinctively, I let out a surprised voice.

“T,t-t-t-t-take off??”

“Ee, it’s hot. But, it became cold so I put on the clothes again. I’m still halfway through, so let me excuse myself.”

After she left those words, Mashu’s avatar once again became hardened and her eyes became hollow.

Scary!

Looks like she took off the ESG from her head and proceed to change her clothes. Please stop that kind of thing…. It’s bad for my heart.

While Shizuku and co. also seemed worried, but after seeing that, they lost for words.

After that, for some reason a commotion happened at the square.

From what I see, there was a gathering of players.

“What is it? Is something happened there?”

Curiosity is human’s nature. As I thought like that, even I can’t see from here, I tried to stand on my tiptoe.

Then Shizuku beside me,

“We’re changing our place.”

Suddenly said that.

It seems like she said that to keep me away from that gathering.

At the same time, I could hear part of cheers coming from there.

“It’s Meruruna-chan.”
“C-cute.”
“Kya- Look here.”
….
What??
They said Meruruna-chan!?

I could tell that my expression has changed.

Meruruna. She is an idol player, a person who became my trigger to play this MMORPG.
I, who just looked at her screenshot, one-sidedly fell in love at the first sight with her.

“As expected from Meruruna-chan. But I can’t see her clea- owa!? Wai-wai-wai-wait!?”

Shizuku forcibly dragged my shoulders.

As she had me went away from the gathering, she brought me to the edge of the square where the commotion couldn’t be heard.

“A-an, even though I had already caught a glimpse of her.”

“Your eyes will rot away if you saw that bitchy girl’s face.”

“I-isn’t that a bit harsh.”

Hime, Ricotta, and Mashu also nodded in agreement.

If you’re all saying that, I couldn’t say anything, could I?

“More importantly, right now the invitation comes first.”

“Then, what’ll you do?”

Hime asked Shizuku. Shizuku who heard that seemed to know the answer.

“Anyway, this a situation that if we were to compete with our invitation count, then we can’t get to C rank. Hereafter, how about if we work together until we rank-up once? About Knight-sama’s partner, we’ll decide it again with different way.”

“Isn’t that okay?”

“Ricotta’s also okay with that nya.”

“A, yes. I also approve of that.”

Following up Hime and Ricotta, Mashu, who return online, also agreed.

I became lost in thought. Even if the girls, who didn’t have communication skill worked together, the result would be the same, right.

Want to owe someone’s respect, it’s fatal if you didn’t have the right attitude when conversing with the person in question. I didn’t think that’s the sole reason but if you didn’t have at least that much, you couldn’t strike up a decent conversation.

That’s why, am I outstanding at communicating? If you asked that….. It goes without saying.

“First, let’s go back to guild and come up with a new plan.”

The girls agreed with Shizuku’s proposal, and followed from her back.

I didn’t have a feeling to cooperate, but I also didn’t have anywhere to go…..Well, I didn’t know what the girls are planning. For the time being, better grasp what they are doing for the sake of my body.

Thinking like that, I also followed behind. And at that time.

Somehow, I felt a strange gaze on my back.

At the shadow of bazaar tent, stopping my legs and turning around, there was a girl who stared here.
With bun on left and right side of her pink hair, she wore a mini skirt and on top of that, a robe like a long parka. While having a scary looking mace in her hand, she dragged it on the stone pavement.

From that appearance, she’s a beginner in ZX.

After all, that’s a beginner equipment you get at the beginning of the game.

I’m afraid she hadn’t even decided on her job.

A workless player.

No matter how you think about it, that workless girl is staring at us.

When that innocent eye locked eyes with my gaze, for some reason she revealed an extremely happy face.

What? Who? Have we ever met before?

Perhaps an acquaintance of guild member.

I never had a memory of her. In the first place, because she’s a beginner, it’s impossible for me to be acquainted with her.

So that girl, is planning to come here, huh? She’s hastily running toward us, and magnificently fell down.

Moreover, she even dived into the neatly lined bazaar goods.

Making a huge voice, as the goods and weapon scattered around, her mace also disappeared into somewhere.

“E-excuse me, excuse me! I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

While flustered and trying to stand up, as she apologized, the goods became more and more fallen apart.

Looking at her behavior that didn’t reflect her words, I guess as a beginner she hadn’t still got used to the control.

The shopkeeper said something along the lines of “You, what the hell you do?”, and thus it became like,

“Oi! What’re you planning to do!?”

“No, this is not as what you think. It’s not.”

“You….. do this on purpose?”

When blue veins popped out from his forehead, a green phosphorescent started to envelop around the girl. If they played ZX, that’s a logout effect which everyone had known.

But, it looks like it’s also the first time for the girl….

“E…. what is this?”

“Oi,oi, after this much, you dare to run away!”

“No, I don’t have that intention.”

“You wait!”

“A, no, that, that….”

While she talked like that, she disappeared along with the light.

Looks like because she lost her control, she unintentionally logged out.

The game machine until now was using ESG which is limited. Therefore, until you got used to the artificial sense when you login, there were many confused players. But, I didn’t label them as unskillful players.

In the middle of disappearing, she seemed to send me a ‘please help me’ look, was I just imagining things?

Even so, what is that? That girl.

It’s almost impossible if she’s acquainted with the people other the guild members.

On top of her head, her avatar name was showed but….

Hmm, certainly was it [Mario (lol)]?

As expected, I didn’t know her.

More than that, (lol) huh. Not needed right.

….

Gathering my feeling, I continued to follow behind the guild members.

*Offline*

After that, as we couldn’t come up with a good plan for inviting members in guild house, in the end, it’d come to a standstill. Since it couldn’t be helped, we decided to discuss that again at later date, and it’s already evening. I just hoped that they would give up on that.

Logging out and taking ESG off from my head, I had a mail in my phone.

I was friendless until now, but before this, I exchanged my email address with the girls in offline meeting. That’s why I could only think them as the one who sent the email….

Then, from who?

Thinking that, I moved my finger.

[Subject] Reconfirmation
[Sender] Hugues (kishisama666@motmail.co.jp)
[Recipient] Seita (wan_U-x-U@pocomoco.co.jp)

Hey, it’s me. Even I say that, you don’t know which ‘me’, do you?
Then, I’ll quickly tell you.
The ‘me’ now, is ‘me’ who confessed to you at the place that looks like harbor.
Before this mail, I also say this, my confession that time is serious.
How serious I am, it’s to the point that I want to marry you in the reality.
That’s why even if it’s a wedding in ZX, I will get jealous if you’re taken by the other members.
Moreover, the first one to say “let’s marry” is me.
I have to protect that promise.
Therefore, about this “Special Wedding, I will put all my effort to win. That’s why please look forward to it.

As I saw my phone screen, I became absentminded.

Hmm…. This was….

Before I had said that there were people in society who couldn’t differentiate reality and virtual, and insisted to have relationship even in reality. After offline meeting, they became targeted by stalker. I have said something like that before, and the example――

AM I THE EXAMPLE!!

One of the guild members,
Wasn’t related to princess syndrome,
There’s a person who seriously like me.
As the premise, she even wanted to marry me in reality.

As a high school student, if you thought normally, you should not have produced an ill feeling after being confessed by girl.

Rather, a happy feeling.

But to me, who has Female Tolerance Deficiency Syndrome (FTDS), it’s a life and death matter.

TL : In raw, it’s said to be FEDS but I can’t find the right word (女性耐性不全症候群,any idea?

W-w-w-w-w-what to do!?
