“Umm...”

“...”

“... Eeh, I”

“...”

“... Died, though”

“...”

Schulz couldn’t say anything. Hina’s appearance was tranlucent.In her head, she wore a headband with one part shaped like triangle. In other word, she was in a state of ghost.

Hina’s parents inside the game, also the person that he suspect to be her little brother were wailing about her death. Furthermore, the offender of this case, Mishima Yuuto cried were muttering “Why, I, did I the one who did this, Hina... Why, Hina... Please, open your eyes...”  while hugging his head.

To be frank, the atmosphere was really bad.

It’s ‘bitter’.

No, it’s not the level of ‘bitter’, its painful.

“Umm, this is...”

“This is supposed to be the selling point of the real experience otome game, ‘乙女は辛いデス’ (Maiden full of hardship ‘death’) that we develop, you know...”

“Yeah”

“... After the player died, they could saw their own funeral”

“Ah, okay”

“It"s a feature where depend on how far your story progressed, the speech and conduct of the people who grief over your death, change...”

“Woah, talking about bad taste, eh!”

“Well, I think so, too. But, let"s take an example, if by any chance you died while kissing the capture target, the man will grief and despaired over the death of his beloved one. No matter how strong a person is, even a prince that capable of doing everything alone, they wouldn"t be able to accept the reality and go wild for sure. You’ll be the one responsible on creating a deep scar within their heart. There is a case when woman get emotionally touched by such a scene, you know”

“Woah,talking about bad taste, right?!”

“I guess so”

In the end, Schulz gave up. He gave up, then sighed.

“To think that you’d die when he just greeted you, eh...”

“Eh, but... that made my heartbeat, you know...”

Hina became small as she pouted. A thing that’s already crossed her mind, it’s all in the past right.

Hina’s family and Yuuta still continued to cry even now. What kind of game was this, seriously.

And so, Hina found out a man with silver hair, stood up in front of Fujii family. He wore a long black coat. A beautiful man that made one’s back shiver. That man casted his eyes down, and shakes his head.

“Hina... as I thought, you’re no good... in the end, love is just a curse that blind worldly people...”

He spoke in a tone that made Hina shiver to the bone, it was a charming voice to have. Hina unconsciously pressed her hand into her chest.

“Wha, who is that person... He’s cool, really cool...”

“ That’s the magician who cast the spell on you, Arvu. Well, there’s a lot for the backstory, but the point is, he became your acquaintance when you’re little, and ended up casting a curse on you. He’s like a last boss in the main story. Of course, the difficulty to capture his heart is really high”

“Eh, oh, you can capture that person?”

“Yeah... umm, would you mind showing me your bracelet for a moment?”

“Eh? Ah, yes, here”

The doll Schulz looked at the bracelet on Hina’s wrist. The moment the item shows number 999, you will die... but,

Hina’s current reading was, 1,378,000,000.

“Uoooi! What is this, why it reach ten digit number!? It should’ve only limited to three digit, you know! What’s happening!? How much you love that guy, you! Don’t go all h.o.r.n.y here!!”

“Woah, you surprise me. Please don’t suddenly shout like that.. Though, I don’t know Schulz-san also have such kind of side”

“Stop it! Don’t look at me with that kind of eye!”

Schulz got completely perplexed. He groaned.

“What is this, 1,378,000,000...  Wouldn’t that mean that she have to die a million time...”

“This machine, it’s bit over, eh”

“It really is... 999 mean that you’re madly in love, 2000 would be the level where you start to heard some hallucination... it’s pa.s.sed one billion, what would that become...? Are you the reincarnation of the divine love agape, huh!?”

“I think this item is just broken, right? Ahaha...”

Schulz started to get scared. In that small body of her’s, more than a billion worth of love crammed into.  This kid, she wasn’t just a b.i.t.c.h. She’s G.o.ddess. In short b.i.t.c.hdess.

However, Hina suddenly made a really saddened expression.

“If I am like this, I couldn’t became the tester for the game... As I thought, I have to stop,right... If we do more than this, I would just bothering Schulz-san...”

“...”

“I’m sorry, that I couldn’t become any useful. Ehehe, I kinda have fun, though. I got to experience something I wouldn’t usually have in real life”

“...”

Even though Hina smiling happily like that, Schulz looked really dispirited.

That’s right, he didn’t said one thing to her.

“... We can’t”

“Weh?”
“... We can’t stop”

Hina asked back as she couldn’t really catch what Schulz had said.  Then he said some shocking truth.

“This game, once we start it, we couldn’t turn it off... Unless you clear this game, we couldn’t get out from this game... Haha... we couldn’t get out, from this world...”

“... Heh?”

Schulz (in appearance of cats doll) stare to the void  like a dead fish.
