This is not the date I wanted.

"…It takes a little time to explain. Let's explain it together after Shin comes… It's about time now."

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Just as Lingyin was thinking about it, Gokawa Shidao was teleported to this side.

"…I'm so sorry for calling you here in such a hurry, Zhen."

"No, that's nothing... But if you want to call not only me but everyone else, you should have told me this from the beginning."

Seeing Tohka Yumezuki and others gathered here, Shidou couldn't help but scratch his head in confusion.

"...Ah, sorry. The contact...Surprise was a great success!"

"No, no, you obviously wanted to say you forgot."

Shidou complained speechlessly about Reine's attempt to get away with it. Then, Reine's gaze slightly shifted away from Shidou.

"…That's not the case, right? Everyone."

"Yeah!" Tohka nodded happily. Although she probably didn't realize it, she actually cooperated and continued Reine's words.

“Um… yes…”

"Because Lingyin said she had something interesting to show us, so I came here~"

Shion and Shionai in her arms also smiled and nodded.

"Kuku... You actually summoned me here, so you must have prepared a considerable tribute."

Deliberately showing an evil smile, Yakushi covered his cheek with one hand, and the look between his fingers was full of provocation.

In response to this, Yui, her soul mate, made additional explanation.

"Request. I'm still hungry so I hope I can explain it briefly."

"Darling~ Honey~ How about going out for dinner together? I found a very delicious Japanese restaurant—"

Miku was obviously more concerned about Shidou and Koto Yumezuki than the interesting things, and she invited the two with a wink.

"Well... that's exactly what happened." Meng Yue shrugged slightly and said to Shidao, "But we don't know exactly what it is. Everyone is waiting for Kotori-chan and Reine's explanation."

"...Is that so." Shidou looked at the elves gathered together and asked Lingyin in confusion, "But didn't they say they were going to play games? With so many people...is it a party game?"

After hearing what Shidou said, Tohka asked curiously.

"Game? Did you call us here to play games?"

"Well... that's what happened." Reine nodded slightly and explained, "I've already informed you in advance. Actually, we called everyone here for Ratatoskr's new game, "Let's Fall in Love, MY☆LITTLE☆Shidou②."

"Ah...that game."

Hearing Lingyin's words, Mengyue held her forehead with her hand, feeling a little headache. If you ask why, it's because by some coincidence, she and Shidao also played Ratatoskr's Galgame, and then...she broke the computer for Shidao.

Mengyue doesn’t know whether the new work is good or not, but its predecessor - "Let’s Fall in Love, MY☆LITTLE☆ Shidou" is absolutely a word that can be used to describe it: a scam!

Shidou saw Mengyue's expression of lack of interest at that moment, understood her thoughts, and smiled bitterly with some helplessness.

"And what kind of game?"

"...Anyway, let's go to the preparation room first so that we can explain it more conveniently."

——————————————————————————I am the dividing line for transferring locations——————————————————————————————————————-

"This time, "Let's Fall in Love, MY☆LITTLE☆Shidou②" is a super simulation of real love game that can be fully immersed in!"

In a room filled with various high-tech equipment, Kotori Itsuka said proudly.

"Too many evolutions in one go!!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"

Meng Yue shouted with horror on her face.

Can you imagine? Galgame, which has a fairly good production quality but a bad plot, would definitely be labeled a "junk game" if it were sold. In just a few months, its sequel suddenly made a comeback and became the top of the gaming industry with a high-end image that could blind countless game geeks. No! It should be said that it has crossed an era!

Is this possible in real life? Are you kidding me...Okay, this is an anime world.

"In other words, through something similar to the "cocoon" that appeared in the sixth movie of Detective Beep-Minami, it is possible to intercept information from the human brain and use it to connect the player's consciousness to the virtual space created by the computer to play the game, right?"

"Hmm... As expected of Sister Meng Yue, you understand things really quickly." Kotori nodded with a smile, and explained enthusiastically, "This game can reproduce the five senses such as touch and taste. If you sleep or eat in the game, you will also feel a response, and the NPC dialogue is to collect the player's memory and subconscious cognition, so it can be said that it is not much different from the real world. Well, this is just what the people in the company say, I haven't experienced it myself yet."

Why don’t people in your company go to heaven?

"Well...but this game is highly realistic, but the requirements for computers are also too high. Even in Ratatoskr, only the supercomputer in Fraxinus can run such a huge amount of data. This is why I called you to Fraxinus."

As if to ease Mengyue's surprise, Lingyin slowly explained.

After hearing Lingyin's explanation, Mengyue finally showed an expression of acceptance.

"However, such advanced technology is only used to make a Galgame. Although it feels strange to say this as a Galgame enthusiast, it always feels like a waste..."

"...Now that you put it that way, it does seem a bit..."

In response to Mengyue's confused mumbling, Qinli nodded with a sense of empathy.

"If it were me, I would definitely develop a game that allows people to use full stealth to wield swords and fight monsters in a virtual world to clear a maze. The name of the game would be "Sword Art Online"!"

"Wait a minute, Sister Mengyue! I'm sorry to interrupt you, but if you continue like this, I think there will be a lot of problems. Please stop."

"Eh? I also want to explain that as a game developer, I trapped all players in the game and their brains will be burned by electromagnetic waves when their HP is reduced to zero."

Meng Yue issued a regretful statement.

"It's just a death game!"

"Wave your twin swords to save the world, brave Shizi-chan!"

"Who is that person?!"

Well, seeing that Kotori and Yumezuki had unknowingly gone off topic, Shidou coughed twice, "Hmm!" to draw their attention back, and then said, "Then, how do I play this game?"

"...Anyway, just sit in the machine first. I'll be responsible for adjusting the settings." Reine said slowly to Shidou while operating the computer.

Shidou nodded slightly, followed Reine's instructions, sat inside the machine, and put on the eye mask-like thing that came with the machine.

"Hey? Reine, what should we do next? It's a rare opportunity, and I want to play with Shidou."

Tohka looked at Lingyin with expectant eyes, but Lingyin shook her head helplessly.

"I'm sorry Tohka, this game is still in testing and the other devices haven't been activated yet. Currently, only one person can play it."

"What……!"

When Tohka heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. Disappointment was evident on her face, and even the bow in her hair drooped listlessly.

"Hmm...it turns out to be like this." Meng Yue also showed a very disappointed expression when she heard the news. To be honest, regardless of the plot of the game, just the advanced design alone made Meng Yue want to give it a try.

"But if that's the case, why did you call us here?"

"…I think everyone will be interested in seeing how cute Shin looks when playing games."

"Wait a minute, this is too weird! You guys are totally watching me being fooled!"

Hearing Reine's words, Shidou, who was waiting on the side, suddenly spoke in panic.

“…There’s no such thing…right?”

"You looked away, didn't you? Even though I didn't see it, Lingyin, you definitely looked away just now, didn't you? You were watching me being fooled!"

"What do you think?"

Lingyin ignored Shidao's shouting and asked the elf girls who were watching the show on the side.

“Oh, now that you mention it, I do want to see it! (>▽)” “Indeed, opportunities like this are quite rare~(*￣▽￣*)ブ”——BY Yoshino & Yoshina.

"Mm mmm... As the common property of me and Yui, isn't it the best thing for Shidou to have his shame engraved in his soul?○(＾皿＾)っ" -BY Yamayakuya.

"I agree. Keep it in mind. (￣︶￣)" - BY Yami Yuzuru.

"Well... I don't really care, but as the commander I have to supervise, so there's nothing I can do about it, you know! (〃＞皿＜)" - BY Kotori Itsuka.

"Shidou's placement and shame play... Well, it's okay to watch it as something to kill time. (￣△￣)" - BY Ryogi Yumezuki.

“…-_-|||”

At this point, what else can Shidao say? If he continues, he will be in tears QAQ.

(Forget it, now I will just forget about the fact that they are watching me. The previous game "Let's Fall in Love, MY☆LITTLE☆Shidou" had many amazing developments, so I think it should be OK this time.)

Comforting himself with these words, Shidou took a slow, deep breath.

"OK. Connection complete."

After hearing Reine's words, Shidou felt that his consciousness flew to another world.

PS: If you want to know why I used emoticons in the final scene, it’s because I was annoyed by the lines in the game so I cut corners. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

04 The degree of restoration is quite high!

==============================

"…Is this a virtual world? It's so realistic."

Looking at the images displayed on the screen on the console, Meng Yue sighed in admiration.

Although it was only Shidou who infiltrated the game, just as Reine had promised before, in order to let everyone see Shidou's embarrassing play of playing the game, she deliberately turned on the big screen and played the game scene from Shidou's side.

Streets made of cement and asphalt, small parks full of vibrant trees, flowers and plants, familiar shopping streets, schools, etc. The entire landscape of Tiangong City has been restored to an almost 100% degree.

If it weren't for the fact that Shidou, who was playing Sleeping Beauty in front of her, was wandering around stupidly following Kotori's orders on the screen, Meng Yue even suspected that Lingyin was deliberately using the images taken by the micro camera in Tiangong City to fool her.

"I never thought that the Fraxinus computer has such a great function."

When fighting against hackers, both DEM and Ratatoskr were so vulnerable in front of Ratziel. But it would be very difficult for Ratziel to run this game.

The angels of the spirits are miracles beyond the norm, and although their unilateral abilities are certainly strong, if we compare their creativity, it is indeed true that computers, which have gradually taken shape by gathering the inspiration and experience of countless humans, are better.

Although she was somewhat unwilling, Meng Yue still nodded in submission.

Well, let’s stop here and take a look at the game progress of our current player, Shido Gokawa.

At this time, Gokawa Shido had already walked out of the house. In order to confirm his situation, he walked to the street and had a friendly conversation with Aunt Qi Teng (NPC) whom he often met. Then, he walked to the shopping street with a pace as if he was enjoying the scenery, and then... it seemed that he wanted to prepare dinner.

"Are we going to prepare dinner? Shidou, what should we eat tonight?"

Seeing this scene, Miss Tohka instinctively touched her belly, and then spoke into the microphone with anticipation.

By the way, it seems that after Miss Reine's adjustments, although the signal is not good, I can indeed communicate with Shidou in the game.

[Tohka? Is this also a communication? ]

Shidou in the game first looked around in surprise, then seemed to understand and shouted to the air. Then, Tohka responded happily.

"Yeah, everyone is looking at Shidou. The Shidou here is clearly sleeping. But the Shidou in the picture is walking. It's incredible!"

[Eh? Could it be that the monitor over there can display the images over here? This is really a bit...]

Shidou in the game scratched his face awkwardly, obviously unable to calm down.

"Today I want to eat fried meat patties. There's a butcher shop over there, let's go buy the ingredients for the fried meat patties!"

"No, no, no! Tohka, calm down. No matter how realistic the ingredients in the game are, they can never fill your stomach in real life."

Meng Yue decisively complained about Tohka's pretending to be stupid (although she didn't do it on purpose).

“…What! Is that so?”

Tohka was very shocked. Seeing everyone nodding in agreement to her question, she collapsed in frustration and grief at the cruelty of the facts.

[Well... I'll go back and make it for you after the game is over, don't worry.] Shidou in the game comforted Tohka with a wry smile, and then asked curiously, [However, although it is impossible to fill your stomach in reality, can you taste the taste?]

"Well, just like I explained to Sister Mengyue just now, this game fully reproduces the five senses. You can taste the flavor of food, and there is no problem eating normally. You can also feel full after eating."

[This… this is really incredible…]

After hearing Kotori's explanation, Shidou said with some embarrassment.

"Well, it's probably the transmission of signals. Through electronic calculations, the physiological reactions of normal human eating are analyzed and simulated, and similar signals are transmitted to the brain, making people feel like they are full even though they are in the game. This is theoretically possible... right?"

Although it is a bit too far-fetched to say that the five senses can be fully reproduced, but considering that this world is originally an anime world, if you pay too much attention to details, you will lose instead, so Mengyue gave up complaining helplessly.

[I see! Meng Yue, you are really knowledgeable. Wow! ]

[I’m going to be late, oh no! It hurts]

'I go, what's going on? "

While Shidao was walking and talking (in the game), suddenly, the plot took a turn. Seeing this scene, Mengyue was stunned for a moment.

Well, at this moment, at 16:34:28, Shidou in the game, at a very ordinary corner, collided with a girl wearing a black windbreaker, a school uniform from an unknown prestigious school, and long flowing brown hair...Ryougi Yumezuki.
