An Encouragement of Adventure
This is what happened on a certain holiday.
A few students gathered in my room.
"VR experience?"
"Yes! VR experience."
Sotomura and Ike showed a cheerful smile, holding something that looks like a helmet. It seems to be the latest game; when you put on this thing to play, you can experience the game in a virtual space.
"It seems like 4 people will play as a team so I want to try."
That's why there are four devices.
"Then why did you look for me and Ayanok?ji-kun?"
"If we let Ken play, he will become obsessed and will always want to keep it for himself. If it's you then it won't be like that."
Horikita looked completely uninterested, but I was a little bit interested in playing.
Men are creatures driven by adventurous spirit, aren't they?
"We were called out during our free time because of this boring thing?"
Horikita stood up, staring at Ike.
"I'm not going to take part."
"Wait! This is a game that recommends 4 people, so ah... just play for a while, please!"
"I'm not interested in things such as games."
"Please think about it again!"
The two guys seemed to be repeatedly begging on the ground in prostration.
"How about just listening to them? This could also be for the class."
Trivial interactions like these can also make progress in interpersonal relationships.
"...... Good grief. Only for a while, right? Then I'll head back after."
Like this, Horikita eventually accepted it. She reluctantly put on the device. Sotomura and Ike followed right after.
"There are 12 occupations at the beginning. Choose according to your own preferences. Ah, don't choose the same as the others. I choose the Paladin! It looks very handsome!"
Ike was a Paladin, while Sotomura chose the Elf. From the description, it appears to be a character in defense and recovery. The importance of the defense is not yet clear.
Horikita simply selected the Swordsman, which is the first option, while I picked a job called the Summoner.
After the career selection was over, I felt my consciousness instantly slipped away and my vision is covered with white light, then the sight of the imaginary world came into view.
I have been introduced to mobile games soon after entering school, but compared to those, the quality of this game is not just in the same dimension.
"This is really...... very amazing."
It's no surprise that Horikita couldn't help but gasped.
Despite being imaginary, the realism of it is not far away from an actual world.
There was a smell of trees coming from elsewhere.
I tried to pinch my arm, but there was not really any pain, just only a tiny feeling. This is probably necessary in order to stay connected with reality.
I could confirm that my body, except for the appearance of different clothing, seemed no different.
"It's like the real world."
Horikita said something similar to what I was thinking.
She tried to pull out the sword she was wearing on her waist.
"But I haven't touched this thing once, huh?"
"It seems there is a technical correction, and you can't become stronger without accumulating EXP."
"Even if you say so,——"
Horikita wielded the sword several times with awe and then sheathed it.
"Oh! That's fast! The beginner tutorial is here!"
Ike wielded his shield and sword excitedly, although he was still not used to the movements.
Two wolf-shaped monsters appeared in front of us.
"Are you going to fight this thing?"
"Horikita, you need to fight too. Please, swordsman!"
Ike then put up his shield.
"Wouldn't there be all sort of ethical issues? Like killing animals?"
