Second Story Online: Aiming To Become The World's Number 1. Ideal Witch

"Mr. Rush, what makes you play the game? Especially why you play games that don't suit you?

"Oh, you've decided that..."

Mr. Rush opened his mouth to see if he was pushed by the momentum not to say whether or not Mr. Miranda was there.

"I followed the master. Because I said I would play this game because I liked it...... But it didn't seem that way to me. It's roughly, you know, role-play-oriented games... there's some unfair difference between players... and once again, the frontier was a god-guy -"

It was Mr. Rush who was saying it in a clear tone, but so I stopped the words once and for all like I was hacked.

"... No, I'm not. Even frontiers had job inequalities and system irrationality, and there was dissatisfaction. It's a popular game, but I can't call it the perfect god gay... then why was I playing that game because I thought it was fun?

Mr. Rush seemed as dissatisfied with the system as he was with the SSO. But still I was playing frontier...... you don't seem to know why.

"You know why I was enjoying and playing frontiers?

"Well, I was happy to attack the dungeons, defeat the bosses of the mighty enemies... and be praised by other players for their accomplishments..."

"Were you doing all that alone?

"You can't be! You can do it alone! It's a glory we won because we attacked with our masters, fridays and clan members! That's how the hard work and the accomplishments and honors I got were everything for the reason I was playing frontier!

"Really? Is that really why (...) you were playing frontier?

"... it"

When Mr. Miranda asked again, Mr. Rush had a look like he had come up with and finally figured it out.

"............ no. I'm not. Sure, I was happy to be praised by someone. But no. I... would be most happy to try again if I failed with my buddies and have a record as the effort was acknowledged... yes, I'd rather have a record or an honor or something!

He held his fist and went on to exhale feelings he hadn't noticed before.

"Yes, you did from the beginning, didn't you! Stupid of the system's dissatisfaction, threw away the complains of enemies you can't defeat, and said this game was even fucking gay... still, that game was still fun! It seemed that way because there were masters and fridays. - I guess the reason I play the game is to play with them!

Playing games with someone will have different fun than games you play alone. That's irreplaceable for some people. For Mr. Rush, playing with the Masters and the Fridays would have been irreplaceable above all for the most fun.

Whatever the game you play, I don't think it changed. It's just that Mr. Rush is bound by the accomplishments and honors he's gotten so far. I guess he forgot the thought.

"The same goes for the last time. I... I want to let you know we exist even in the first game I play... and I want a track record that I can brag about sooner... and I want them to praise me... and I want them to be happy... so I can get ahead and fail... oh shit! What are you doing, I am!!

That's right. When I threw it away, I covered my face with my hands and the item dropped.

"... what am I supposed to do? If they kick me out, I don't have anywhere else to be... That was where I was... the only place... Even if I go back to the frontier now, I don't have them... I can't enjoy them..."

The seriousness of the situation placed seemed profound, and Mr. Rush's voice was trembling.

"It's okay. If you realize that thought, Mr. Friday will surely forgive you."

"............... is that true?

"Yeah, well, look, shake it up! And you were still a member of the famous clan?

Mr. Miranda liked it as he slapped his big back round small.

"... I think so, too. I think Mr. Friday banished you to wake you up."

I think Mr. Friday wanted you to realize this. However, I guess he wouldn't have passed it on if he had said that directly.

"Either way, if you want to go back to that clan again, you'll need to discuss it... Well, get ready to talk. If you run away here, you'll never make it back."

"... oh, you sure do"

Though surprised by Kyle's tone, Mr. Rush replied so.

"............ hey"

"What's up?

Worried to say a little or not, he opened his mouth as the bat looked bad.

"... Now maybe, but I'm sorry I scolded you guys. I remember the annoying role players in the previous game and they seemed to hit me hard.... I guess he also had prejudice. It doesn't make any sense. I don't know what to do with it..."

"Ah - that's mutual. Even though we had some gaming situations with the characters about the last time, we beat up your prey and sidetracked you..."

In SSO, the act of beating up is not really treated as a violation of manners when there are game character circumstances, but it's a fine violation of manners when it's another game.

"Ok... ok for now?

"Mr. Miranda."

"Oh, Chloe. Sorry to startle you all of a sudden."

The way you talk and the atmosphere looks like the usual Mr. Miranda... but I feel different somewhere. Is it because of the player-like appearance?

"Well, I was certainly surprised... because I didn't know if it was a player or NPC"

"Eh heh, it's worth the effort lol if you say so.... but this time I really couldn't watch and I stopped lol..."

Miranda says, looking at Mr. Rush, who is now talking to Mr. Kyle and the others.

"I like this game, and I didn't want you to make bad memories of it. 'Cause games are fun, right? So even as a game player, I couldn't leave him alone."

That's what I said. I was Mr. Miranda laughing in her face as a player. If I did leave him alone like that, the worst he could have done was keep a nasty memory of the game and stay away from it.

"And then I hope Mr. Friday forgives me safely ~"

"Right."

If this doesn't get forgiveness...... can he recover from it?

"... then I'm going to Friday"

"Whoa, I hope we can make it up to you, you golden pimp!

Good luck.

While Wright and Oliver encouraged me, Mr. Rush, determined, walked out to Mr. Friday...... but I stop walking along the way.

"What is it? Aren't you going?

"You've decided to go! Yeah, I'll go, I'll go, I'll be at Friday's!

Just say it with your mouth, your legs don't move at all. And I'm gonna look at us right behind you.

…………

…………

"Maybe you can't go alone ~?"

"No."

"Then you can go. We have to go search for Clin too."

"... Oh no, wait! Wait!"

I rushed back, Mr. Rush.

"You guys like Friday forgives me? What if I don't forgive you?

"When that happens, you just did wrong. You deserve it. Give it up completely."

"... you're a surprisingly cold guy when I thought you were sweet!...... no, could that be roleplay now!?

Without answering the last query, I'll just keep it to return a smile.

... Damn, Mr. Rush is a troublesome man. I'm sure that's all you're afraid of being rejected by the Fridays.

"... you have no choice. Let me follow you."

Because Chloe is useless at the moment. I feel like I should do a search for you, Clin... but you won't have a problem sending me a gaze like the one my client left to me. There's an important role to play in this shelter over there.

"No, because I didn't say I wanted you to follow me, did I? What?"

"Yes, yes, I was concerned about the details of Operation Willamedes Crusade, so I'm just going to see Mr. Friday. Yikes. If you weren't forgiven by Mr. Friday, I wouldn't know."

Disbanded for each purpose, I headed to Mr. Friday as I pulled Mr. Rush, a slow walker.

The Fridays were quickly found. From the most spectacular part of the mansion, he seemed to give instructions while talking to a few non-clans.

"... Rush, what does it look like? You are no longer a clan member."

I noticed this one, Mr. Friday. When I saw Mr. Rush, I had a staring hard eye.

"Friday! Put me in the clan again!

Mr. Rush bowed his head in momentum.

"I had fun playing that game because I had masters and fridays. Playing games without you guys isn't fun. I... I want to keep playing games with you guys. I don't need achievements or honors, I don't need them to play with you guys like that! If the game you're going to play is going to be SSO, you're right, I'll play it to the SSO game specifications.... I won't force it, stop if it really doesn't fit. But playing with you guys could change that perception too...... so!

Mr. Rush looked straight at Mr. Friday when he raised his head.

"Again, put me in El Dorado......!

Seriously, straight up. Mr. Rush was fine to bump his feelings for his people. Seeing Mr. Rush like that, Mr. Friday loosened his rugged eyes and became a gentle gaze.

"Yeah, you're right. Playing the game purely for fun with your buddies should be your top priority. Of course, after taking into account other players who play the same game. … it's too late to notice."

"Friday......"

"Welcome to the nascent El Dorado, Rush. You're welcome."

"... Huh! Oh!"

You must have received a notification of accession. Mr. Rush seemed to show up. His hand was moving so that he could press the button on the notice. That look looked very happy and slightly tearful.

"Looks like he took care of you. I put a lot of work into it...... it's also true that Rush came back so quickly. Thank you."

"No.... you seem to have left him alone and waited for him to notice himself"

"I thought it would be easier for him to go out and be rough like this than I would explain from scratch."

It was Mr. Friday smiling and giving it back like that. I know you've explained it many times, but I guess you didn't overhear it. So this time he said he was in a rough imitation... I might have done a little more, but it seems to be an action that Mr. Friday, who has been dating a long time, has thought about, so maybe there was nothing else but this.

"Well... nascent El Dorado, my first big job has already begun. Of course we're after Willamedes Crusade."

Keep the grin, Mr. Friday watching Willamedes rampaging in the city with his eyes softly narrowed. It was as if the hunters were watching the prey they were going to hunt.
