Destiny Unchain Online ~I became a vampire girl and eventually became known as the “Demon King of Blood”~ - Chapter 3
Unable to log out
“… What the hell happened?”
He suddenly regained consciousness.
However, losing consciousness was unusual for Kurenai, who was accustomed to full diving to the extent, that he could dive into the VR space in an instant.
“It’s strange, how it took so long to dive…”
And… He should have logged in at around 13:00 in the afternoon, but the time indicated by the clock was already 18:00 in the evening. 5 hours of his memories are missing.
“What, just now… what is this!?”
The first thing he noticed was his voice.
The voice was clearly higher than that of Kurenai, who had already gone through his voice change period…it was unmistakably a girl’s.
A small body with lots of curved lines, long hair and a high voice.
I am unable to determine more than that, because I don’t have a mirror…but this is clearly the body of petite girls.
“For now, just log out…”
“Let’s go back.”
(S)he thought so and stretched out his(her) finger, but it stopped.
(S)he almost let out a scream.
The button (s)he would normally use to log out has lost its colour, turned grey, and it doesn’t respond when pressed.
–Unable to log out.
It’s a setting that has been seen in many games and novels in the past, but that’s why when it happens to him(her), unpleasant thoughts run through his(her) mind.
“Wait, Dad! Hey Dad!?”
Kurenai, who was about to fall into a panic, hurriedly called his(her) father, who was the culprit this time.
“The answer… was unexpectedly immediate.”
“It’s okay, I’m monitoring you. Even so, Kurenai-san, you have a very cute voice, don’t you think?”
“My son has the voice of a girl, and that’s a first in the world…”
(S)he was taken aback by his words of his(her) father, who was going at his own pace, but thanks to that, (s)he calmed down a little.
“Haa……More importantly, I can’t log out, can you do something about it?”
“I’m sorry, that’s impossible.”
“……Whaaaaat?”
“Kurenai-san, everything that’s happening to you is something I can explain. So please calm down first and listen.”
(S)he swallows his(her) saliva and listens to the words his father speaks, in an unusually serious tone.
“Before that… from Kurenai-san’s point of view, maybe hours have flown by?”
“Ah, yeah. About five hours?”
“That’s because I was moving you… Kurenai-san’s body is now in the city’s university hospital while it’s still being inside the cradle. And right now, I can’t move Kurenai-san’s body from the cradle.”
“Wh-wh…!?”
“Ah, but it’s within the scope of the plan. I’m accompanying you to the hospital right now, and I’ll be checking on Kurenai-san’s condition from time to time, so can you rest assured?”
Sora cut off his words and stared at Kurenai with a serious look. Kurenai choked involuntarily.
“It’s ok. As your father, I will always protect Kurenai-san…so please, please trust me.”
“That’s right,” Kurenai said with a frighteningly serious expression…
“…I understand. I’ll believe in you! But please complete the remaining admission procedures properly!?”
“I don’t want to decline the high school, that I went through the trouble of getting into, without even being able to enter.”
Besides, if that happened, I would feel sorry for Hijiri and Subaru, who were both my childhood friends, who would be doing their best to get admitted to the same school.
“I know. I will properly apply for the fact that you will be going to school online for a while.”
“… In other words, I won’t be there for the entrance ceremony.”
An online class facility was developed as a relief measure for students who cannot leave the hospital or their home.
I never thought, that the day would come when I would be able to receive the benefits that I could not get permission for before. I sighed in resignation.
“So…What am I supposed to do?”
“Well, I think it would be fine for you to play as you like, for the month before entering school. It’s okay, if you die in the game, you won’t die in real life.”
“I had a few personal goals, but the game itself is also something I’m proud of,” he said with a buoyant look. (S)he could also see him proudly puffing out his chest in front of the communicator.
“So … can you believe in me?”
“Of course. No parent is willing to make things just to kill their child. I wouldn’t want to lose my lovely child to something like that.”
“Uh… yeah, that’s right.”
Even though I was kind of embarrassed by the words he said to my face, I decided to trust his words for the time being, as they didn’t seem to be a lie.
For the time being, the biggest concern doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a death game or anything like that. Haa……, Kurenai let out a deep sigh of relief.
“Manuals and such should be accessible from NLD without any problems. If you get tired of the game, you should be able to move freely to another virtual space. If something happens, call the GM and he’ll connect you directly to me.”
“Ok, I understand”
“Then, as you won’t be able to enjoy yourself while your parents are watching you, I’ll cut off the monitoring of the game until you call me. Have fun”
After that reply, communication with Sora went offline.
“It’s a long-awaited, parent-approved permission to play around.”
In that case, it was Kurenai, who resumed the character creation that had been stopped.
(Bersleid: This is all for now folks. I’ll try translating a bit more next weekend.)
