Moto Sekai Ichi - LN Idle talk 1 ( Chapter 11.5)
🕑 Added 2019-05-13 23:42:02 +0000 UTCAlright, here it is, LN extra 1. This happens between chapter 11 and 12 of the WN.
I hope you enjoy it. Also, sorry for two idle talks in a row.
Idle Talk - From living hell to heaven.
"──Incredible, simply amazing! Marvelous! A record never seen beforeeeee! Player Seven, showing us a splendid defense, has managed to win the first Title battle of the year! And what's more! An unprecedented achievement! He has a total of one hundred Titles earned! "
The excited voice of the commenters echoed throughout the venue.
A thundering applause came from the spectator seats, and on the relay monitors, huge number of comments were flowing.
"Additionally, the winning record has been updated. It has become a thirty-two wins streak. It reflects the total number of Titles won, the remaining Title period, the number of wins, the win rate, and the continuous victory streak. In everything he's first place. Nobody has yet defeated him. They aren’t even close to his shadow. All in all, he can be called the number one in the world with no complaints."
"An incredible record! As expected of the player who represents Mobius Online."
"A player who'll be able to play a more active part isn’t likely to appear. In the future I want to challenge him, but to be honest, I don’t feel like I can win, hahaha. So far I haven’t been able to comprehend how he has been able to turn around the tables when more and more enemies are appearing."
"We're here with the former world's top ranker, T41to 5uTON (Taruto Suton) -san, who is going to give us his commentary on Seven. Truly a performance expected of the current world's top rank, right?"
"Yeah, I think the great thing about him is not just being strong, but to me, I believe it's the way he turns the gameplay into something more engaging for the audience. Like if he's established some sort of splendid entertainment. That's why I think the live broadcasts have become more exciting."
"I totally agree! Every time we're live, my hands are gripped and my heart pounds like crazy, not knowing if defeat will finally reach him. Well then, the story isn’t over yet, we'll be back after a word from our sponsors with more of Mobius TV ──」
The number one rank in Mobius Online is me, Seven.
The ranking is determined by the IRO rating. But well, with my outstanding rate, I am by all means the number one in the list. Nobody can catch up to me. Nobody can overthrow me. And also, my record can’t be broken.
Well, that's to be expected. The only man who has bet his life on the now popular VRMMO game Mobius Online, is probably me.
What do you try to accomplish by becoming so serious in this online game? Hahaha, idiot. Do what you want, loser.
That's right... I remember those words, but. I've had so much fun. This was my youth. My whole life was about this.
"Good job, Seven-san. It was a good match."
Someone came talking to me. Who was this guy? Ah, that's right. A junior from my Team.
What should I say in return? Huh? What was I supposed to say here? No, in the first place, what did he say? I can’t even remember it.
He's a very chatty junior. I know I answered something. Afterwards, the team members started to gather one after another. Every one of them showed their appreciation for me.
"Shall we begin!? After all, we're celebrating one hundred! "
Someone said. "But don’t say it like that! ", someone else tsukkomi'd. Then, "Hahaha! ", everyone else started to laugh.
Yeah, that's right, it was something like this. Every day was so fulfilling. It was impossible not to have fun.
Albeit virtual, everyone was surrounding the table and enjoying drinking at the Team's base. And at the main seat, there was always me. A silly conversation with an open-minded friend, someone telling a stupid joke, someone rebuking someone as the worst of the worst, these moments were truly the best.
"Hey, isn’t it about time to go back?"
Then everyone started to leave. There was someone who worked full time, someone who went to school, another one who was repeating a school year, and a full-time housewife. Everyone had their own circumstances.
Soon, I was all alone. Those who could log in at any time of the day were rare in the modern society, in the current year, 2034.
"Maybe I should take a short break too."
I murmured to myself. Immediately after, I opened the menu screen and chose to log out.
Paah──My consciousness switched back to reality. I immediately got up and went to the storage case located right next to the bed, I took out a bottle of highly nutritious liquid and then I went straight to the bathroom. While drinking the sugary drink that had almost no flavor, I used the toilet. This doesn’t do much for the hunger, but at least all the nourishment requirements can be met. The unnecessary things are excreted out of the body after all.
……Uhmm, when was the last time I cleaned the bathroom? I think it was just before the last update, if I remember correctly, that was three months ago. No wonder why it stinks.
After leaving the bathroom, I immediately returned to bed. Meal, completed. Excretions, completed. With this, my short break was completed. Then, I logged back into Mobius Online──……
"……………………? "
I can’t log in.
Huh? Eh? This is weird. Huh? Why? Eh, what's going on? Hmm……?
No matter what I did or how many times I tried, or how much time passed, it was useless.
……I need to investigate. It's alright, it's alright. What's with this nonsense? I'm sure the company will do something soon.
Cold sweat dripped along my back. My heart was beating so painfully, my ears rang and my vision was blurry. An unpleasant sensation began to stir in the bottom of my being, my throat became dry and burning at the same time.
………… How much time has passed since then, I wonder? I frantically collected all the information I could, and when the reality that Seven had disappeared completely sank in, and I understood that my place as the number one will never return, I silently spilled out the contents of my stomach──
"────uu!! Haa…… haa…… haaa……! "
It was just a dream.
Looking around I quickly understood it. This is an inn at the capital, Vinceton. And right now, I'm at my usual room.
"…………～Uuuu."
Thank god……thank god, thank god, thank god……!!
My entire body was filled with a sense of relief. Have I ever felt this grateful for being alive? No, I don’t think so. Right now, my whole body was trembling with joy.
……I can still enjoy this everyday life. I can enjoy Mobius Online along with Silvia. There's nothing better than this.
"……Ahhh……"
I've calmed down. That was the worst way to wake up, but I'm feeling alright now.
Well, what should I do today? A clear of the Reus dungeon? Or maybe slime hunting? Maybe shopping would be nice for a change of pace.
That's right. I wonder if that girl would be happy if I buy her some light armor for archers?
No, I'm sure she will be happy. Alright! Then let's search for one that looks as knightish as possible. Because she loves to play knight at that age, it's obvious she still admires them.
While thinking about the happy face Silvia will make, I filled a glass with water and drank it all at once.
It had no flavor, just pure water. But for some reason, I felt as if my body was satisfied.
The back of my throat was a bit dry. I smiled after muttering "It's great to be alive", like an old man.
