Together with Ciel, I run through the streets of Lestein. We run up and down many stairs, cross many squares, and sometimes even use skip doors to shorten the time it takes to get from one place to the next.
Yet, no matter what we do, the pursuers won’t give up. And, to make matters worse, they seem faster than we are!
What’s this all about? Is there some kind of setup or skill? Or are they using cheats? If they are cheaters, I won’t tolerate it.
Thus, he keeps passing us, blocking our path, and getting down on his knees. He doesn’t care if we are being watched or not.
The other players who are looking at us seem to be somewhat amused by this exchange.
The bystanders are surprised but hardly raise an eyebrow. It’s like they’re taking it easy. There are even people pointing at us and laughing.
Plus, many of them point at us with a square made with the thumb and forefinger of both hands. I use this, too, and it represents the screenshot command for taking pictures and videos.
I would have loved it if they had taken evidence and reported it to management, but judging from their amused expressions, I’m pretty sure that’s not true.
Everyone reacts this way, probably because our behavior contrasts with the onlookers. But I don’t think that’s the only reason.
Is this what Take was talking about, the “special culture that tends to exist in the online game”?
Or perhaps the public opinion is more in favor of the goat man? Am I the wrong one? That’s absurd.
But anyway, this was getting me nowhere. Growing impatient, I decided to take a gamble.
Not knowing how the dating event would turn out, I didn’t wanna do it, but I had no choice. Yeah, log out!
—Then, I immediately logged in again.
If you log out of Kimakura from anywhere, when you log in the next time, you will return to your residence. For now, I’ve gotten rid of my stalker.
The only concern was that the date would be ruined because I left in the middle of the event. I hadn’t fully prepared for this, so logging out was a last resort…
Fearfully opening my eyes, I patted my chest in relief.
Oh, thank goodness. Ciel-chan and I are back in my room, still dressed as the queen from earlier.
“Hmmm, is this Vivia’s workshop? It’s kind of dreary, isn’t it? As a girl, shouldn’t it be a little more colorful?”
Ciel-chan looks around the room, intrigued, and mutters her thoughts. Despite my lack of danger, it is good to see that the freak I just saw has not traumatized me.
However, we still need to be vigilant.
His home, after all, is located diagonally across the street from ours. It would not be hard to connect our sudden disappearance with the logout, and there is a big possibility that he has been tracking us using the same method.
I gently open my back door and see—yes, there he is~~~~… There’s Goat Man, prostrate about two meters away from the door~~…
Maybe I should block him since he’s already ruined 15 minutes of my 3-hour date event?
With this in mind, I opened the system panel but was stumped.
Although I don’t need to overthink it since the semi-active mode has been implemented, I still wonder if I should cut them off without hearing their side of the story.
The bystanders watching us from the sidelines seemed to be acting normally, and Kimakura seemed to have its own unique culture and common sense, right? Wouldn’t it be wrong if I, unfamiliar with those areas, stepped on some landmine or something~.
Maybe I should talk to Take-san about it once.
But he is currently logged out. It’s early Saturday morning…
While many users have the in-game talk system tied to their real-life smartphones and tablets, I don’t have a good enough relationship with Takenaka to call him up while logged out.
The other person I might be able to ask for help with Kimakura is my sister…. I didn’t want to rely on her too much, but I was on a tight schedule this time and had no choice.
With a heavy heart, I logged out of Kimakura and called my sister. After several rings of calls, “Hello?” I heard an inorganic voice in my ear.
“Rika~, I need some advice on something, is this a good time?”
“I’m a little busy, so please make it quick.”
“Uh, okay. Rika, you played a game called Kimakura, didn’t you?”
“…I did play Kimakura.”
“I’m also playing it.”
“What? Really?”
Rika’s vocal tone became one octave higher. Even the most unsociable sister might get a little excited when talking about her favorite game.
But unfortunately, there was no time to talk about games with her.
“So, I’m in the middle of a date event right now.”
“Eeeehhh?!”
“But I was interrupted by a certain player and I couldn’t move as much as I wanted to. Specifically, he would make some kind of aggressive move, but I was in a semi-active mode and he were strangers, so there was no actual contact—he would chase me, block my path, and get down on his knees. It’s over and over, non-stop.”
“Uh oh—yabai.”
“Yabai? It’s bad, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, you need to block them. And report it to the management.”
Upon hearing her words, I patted my chest in relief.
“Thank goodness I was right. My common sense wasn’t wrong on this one.”
“Huh? …If you don’t mind my asking, what kind of a guy is this guy?”
“Let’s see, it’s a boy character with goat-like horns and ears.”
“Goat….”
“He looked gangly and small, with narrow eyes and a sleepy look. He has red hair and wears a light brown jacket and pants. I guess he is a hunter? he has a pistol on his waist. Somehow, I got the impression that his attitude was not so good, and he looked like a delinquent or perhaps a thug. Like a certain phantom thief.”
“……”
Oh? She kind of went quiet. Oh no, did I say something I shouldn’t have?
Just when I was getting nervous, I finally got a response.
“…Who?”
“Eh?”
“Who is the character you going on a date with?”
“She’s a girl named Ciel. Do you know her? She has bull horns.”
“Have you report him?”
“Not yet, sorry.”
“Please please please don’t report it to the management.”

(Video)
The brilliant turn and sliding down on the ground from pursuit is an art
[Rena]
>> 3745
I could watch it forever, lol
I thought this was the same video repeated endlessly, but there is no editing at all
[Piano Jam]
The total surrender blows me away
[Narutick]
> Please!
> I’ll do anything!
> Please tell me how you raised the favorability!
> Please just one screenshot!
> No, two pictures. One Ciel-sama alone and the pair of you together!
> And the third one together with me!
> Please give me a video as well!
The more you get down on your knees, the greedier you get
[Kohaku]
Zoebel-san, based on what you’ve said here about your obsession with Ciel-niki, I thought you’d be cooler than that…
[Muuya]
Something that we often see in Talk Room vs. seeing it in reality. Is this real?
[Mayu]
I think Zoe-san is surprisingly candid, and his character is also a bit flashy
[Alaska]
Isn’t Ciel-niki’s foot speed extraordinary?
I understand that equipment and skills can be enhanced in an outdoor field, but how is this possible in a town?
[Piano Jam]
I think he’s using skill refinement
It’s a skill that tests the use of equipment and skills, so to speak, and it can be used in safety zones with various limitations
[ee]
Didn’t refinement have a very short activation time?
[Narutick]
It was like 10 seconds
The dodge cooldown time doesn’t exist, and he’s using it continuously
Take a closer look
Zoe’s occasionally pouring down a stamina drink in the middle of that acrobatic run
[3745]
LMAO
How did you notice that?
[rn-dnik]
Where is it?
I have no idea
[Mayu]
lol
[Mayu]
>> rn-dnik
The U-turn moment
Maybe 0:58 is easier to understand
[Alaska]
If you hadn’t told me, I never would have noticed.
Even if he’s using his skills, doing these movements at this speed and repeating them, he’s not human
[Letima]
Why he’s acting before thinking lol
[Rena]
Ciel-niki has high P-skill
If the demonstration location had not been in KIMAKURA, I think it would have been talked about more
[KUDOU-S1]
Zoe-san is good at games
The accuracy of the screenshot in the steeplechase and the level of machine-like accuracy raise cheating suspicions
[Narutick]
That one made me laugh
[Muuya]
You guys are so shocked at how sick Ciel-niki is that you’re forgetting something important
Boutique-san? She-s with Ciel
[Shiori]
Queen Ciel, she’s too pretty…
Is she playing the servant role? Queen Ciel and Miss Boutique’s pair is precious…
[Mayu]
I wasn’t interested in her because she’s been treated as a complete buggy character until now, but she’s pretty cute…
While it may be incompatible with Ryl-sama, when you can increase the favorability, then this is a different story
[Rena]
No, we’ve already talked about that
[3745]
Ciel-niki is weird!
→ How can I go on a date with Ciel?
→ The clothes are cute!
→ But Ciel-niki is weird!
[Pan Festa]
Looks like you guys are having a good time
The live broadcasts aren’t getting any more exciting over here because of the Ciel fiasco that’s taking up all the audience
[rn-dnik]
That’s what you always do
[Yoshio www]
I was going to interrupt Pan’s broadcast but decided not to because the Ciel fiasco is so funny lol
[Pan Festa]
Don’t come!
Come!
[Letima]
Which one is it? lol
