“That’s… CieVivi is on the verge of breaking up…? That’s terrible… it can’t be…. If this doesn’t stop, my plan to have Shanta-sama and me get our outfits tailored for our next date will be blown apart….”
If? Zoe? Zoebel-san? Hey.
He has made a complete leap into his world alone and is contemplating something.
Or sweating profusely. He doesn’t look well. Is he okay?
Even though Kimakura avatars are designed to show the player’s emotions in exaggerated facial expressions and gestures, I was still concerned.
Suddenly, Zoe’s eyes widened, and he grabbed me from both shoulders.
“It’s… a misunderstanding, Vivia-san!”
………Haa?
“It seems that Minashigo intimidated you. No~ he tends to do that. He exaggerates too much or he’s just making things up.”
At first, I didn’t understand, but my mind caught up as I listened to what was being said. What? You mean the PKs and the interference are lies?
“I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a lie. Perhaps it’s just a little miscommunication. There are indeed some aggressive players, but that’s only a part of it. It’s Kimakura Utopia. In a game with such a relaxing name, there aren’t that many eccentrics and weirdos who would be so eager to sabotage the game.”
“But I was attacked two days in a row, and Takenaka-san and the others were brazenly fighting head-on….”
“Vivia-san is unlucky. Take and Shadow? Oh, they are super close friends, so they play like that every day. They’re like kittens playing and biting each other, and it’s what we call an inside joke. It’s not like we’re picking fights with anyone.”
“But they’re saying fuck you….”
“It’s a Kimakura slang, something like a greeting. It’s also a way of saying, ‘Let’s play a game together.’ Vivia-san, are you new to MMOs? There are words like this that are used on the internet and in the gaming world. But newbies are scared of it. Once you get used to it, you can enjoy this kind of atmosphere, but it’s something to consider~.”
……Seriously?
When I asked him this, he nodded with fire in his eyes.
“Seriously. I’m super duper serious.”
“So I can continue to participate in the event with the same stance as before? No need to be vigilant about my surroundings, no need to investigate the dangers in advance? Can I just work in silence by myself?”
“It’s totally fine. You can enjoy Kimakura the same way you have always enjoyed it, Vivia-san. Let’s start participating in events tomorrow. I have a lot of preparations to do… I mean, I heard on the news the public order is bad tonight because of bad people coming….”
I guess it’s not safe.
“No, just for today! Only tonight! The server seems to be having some trouble right now, and I heard that the security support for the operation is temporarily stretched thin.”
“Huh? I’ve never heard that. Why didn’t I receive any notice?”
“Maybe it’s the related bug.”
Eh~ I didn’t know that. I guess it’s better not to go out tonight.
“That’s right. I’ll go with Vivia-san tomorrow, which will give you peace of mind. And if no one is going to sabotage or anything, then you can continue to play solo or do whatever you want.”
“Eh, that’s indeed bad. I understand your point, Zoe. But I will be sad if my favorite game is misunderstood strangely. I might have believed some information from the internet, like what Minashigo-san told me, without questioning it.”
“No, that’s not what I meant. …Oh~ but Vivia-san is just being careful, isn’t she? Then 1 hour! Let’s do it together, even if it’s only for an hour!”
He said and refused to budge. Well, I said some strange things that caused him to worry unnecessarily.
Eventually, we decided to play together for an hour at the start of the day. It’s a little bit painful, but it’s okay once in a while.

The popularity seems to have skyrocketed for some reason, but for me, Cieshan is still a pain in the ass
She seems incompetent as a patron, and her appearance rate is high.

And she will stop coming

Is that code real? Isn’t it dangerous?
The same warning comes up every 30 minutes or so
[Mosha]
I wondered who this Vivia was, but it turns out it was Boutique-san
For all the exaggerated warnings, it’s funny they got the name wrong LOL
[Shrimp Belle]
Zoe has finally lost his mind!
Just a while ago, in the Carpenter’s Room, someone said Zoe is still sane
[Elnegy]
He’s been that way from the start
[Mercury]
He’s Yoshio’s dog, isn’t he?
[Madness]
But I haven’t seen Zoe today
The association seems to be running normally in the north
[Mike]
He was there for a while in the beginning
Then disappears
[Panfesta]
I see
No wonder it feels weak today
It’s almost a monopoly for the jobless
