Chapter 540 - What about my Human Rights?

The racing game played in the virtual world was really interesting. There were courses that ran in the ocean and courses built in the sky, which were only possible because it was in the virtual world, and I became absorbed in the game, forgetting about the time.

I lost to Alice, 1 4, but I was able to s.n.a.t.c.h a win in our final race, which already makes me very satisfied.

Alices announced that it was time to open the doors to the public, so we left the virtual world and returned to the original world.

[Well, even so, that was really fun. Id love to play with it again when its finished.]

[Im glad to hear that you like it. Well, there are still a lot of issues to be cleared in terms of cost and technology, so completion is still a long way off I guess it will take more than a decade. But Ill let you test play again, Kaito-san.]

[Thats great to hear. To be honest, Im really looking forward to it.]

[Ahaha, there are also other attractions at the festival, so lets check them out too.]

I guess its really difficult to complete a game of such magnitude. Even with the cooperation of Kuro, the leading expert in magic tools, and Alice, who was a master of a vast amount of knowledge, it would take more than a decade to complete the game

But from what Ive played, it seems to me that its almost finished Is there still a serious problem in that game?

As I was thinking about this, as if she had sensed my question, Alice spoke with a wry smile on her face.

[As I said before, the concept itself has been in the works for quite some time already. Incidentally, that concept was to make Isis-sans wish come true.]

[Eh?]

[We thought that if suppressing Isis-sans magic power of death isnt an option in the real world As her magic power itself was the basis of Isis-sans existence, there was no other way for me to do anything. What we had come up at that time was a mental clone. Compared to her main body, the mental clone would have considerably less magic power. If thats the case, we thought that if we used an external technique to a.s.sist her in making this mental clone, well, we could suppress her magic power of death within a large-scale ward.]

[]

[However, I guess even though it was just her mental thoughts, it was still her clone, and even with the large-scale ward Well, in other words, even if it was limited to the virtual world, it was difficult to suppress her magic power of death without affecting Isis-sans existence. Adding the cost and technical problems, even trying it was difficult.]

It seems that the idea of creating that virtual world was for Isis-san. When shes talking about Isis-sans dream, without a doubt, it was to meet someone who would accept her, even if their strength was weak.

Judging from the way Alice was talking, it seems like they had been thinking about this for quite some time.

[Well, we didnt know when it was going to be completed, and I also wasnt sure if it would work. So, we kept it a secret from the others so that they wouldnt get their hopes up. Well, Kuro-san was originally the only one who was working on this and she asked me, who had knowledge of technology not found in this world, to help her.]

[And you helped with her, Alice?]

[Yes, Ive also owed Kuro-san a favor As for Isis-san, well, I had as much sympathy for her as a drop in a bucket. No, I lied. I didnt really care about her. Im only doing this because Kuro-san was asking me so much about this.]

[Youre not really honest with your feelings, arent you?]

[Erhem. Anyway, that was the purpose of this project, but it didnt go well at all, and even just making a single experimental tool was too much work Its a project that ended up being half-frozen.]

Stopping talking for a moment, Alice turned to me and brightly smiled, before speaking again.

[In the end, Isis-san was saved by Kaito-sans appearance. On the contrary, thanks to Kaito-san, I was able to get the cooperation of Shallow Vernal-sama, and the project immediately progressed. Kaito-san, youre seriously quite the singularity.]

[A- Ahaha, well, if I can help you Unnn? Wait a moment, what did you just say? You were able to get the cooperation of s.h.i.+ro-san?]

[Eh? Well Even when Kuro-san asked her for help, she always said she wasnt interested, but this time, even though she had that condition of having a date with Kaito-san, she generously cooperated..]

[On the condition of having a date with me?]

[Did I not mention it before?]

Wait a minute, I think I just heard something unbelievable. I did promise to go around with s.h.i.+ro-san on the seventh date, but I felt like she was leading me to ask her out at that time, so I had no problem with that.

[Hey, Alice. I was thinking that there was no way this is the case but You werent negotiating with s.h.i.+ro-san for her cooperation, using that condition, without my knowledge, right?]

[N- No, the one Shallow Vernal-sama negotiated with is Kuro-san From what I heard, she used a really terrifying negotiation tactics Saying Just Kuro is unfair in an endless repeat]

[Ahh, I see]

Indeed, being faced with her endless repeat is difficult. I dont blame Kuro for being overwhelmed. But still, I would like to say one thing.

[By the way, Alice Do you know what Human Rights means?]

[No, Im someone from another world So I dont really know whats in the Const.i.tution of j.a.pan.]

[Oi, dont look away. Say that while looking at me. You definitely know what Im talking about, right!?]

Dear Mom, Dad How should I say this Well, its not that I dont like the idea of going on a date with s.h.i.+ro-san. Moreover, Im really happy if I could be of help to Kuro and Alice. Thats why, I dont want to blame Kuro or Alice for this but I just want to make sure of one thing What about my Human Rights?

Serious-senpai : [You have no human rights! Serves you right, Kaito!]

? ? ? : [Well, as long as Kaito-san doesnt have them, Serious-senpai doesnt have them either. Neither do you have Human Rights, nor Serious Rights]

Serious-senpai : [Youve got to be kidding! What do you think youre doing with Kaito!!!? Give the man some more respect!!!]

? ? ? : [Well, even if Kaito-san had Human Rights Its not like Serious-senpai would have it.]

Serious-senpai : [..]

~ ~ The Actual Exchange at that time ~ ~

Kuro : [Listen here, okay, s.h.i.+ro? I will agree to clearing Kaito-kuns schedule for the seventh day, but you would have to make sure that he knows that you two will go on a date! I wont allow you to force him against his will!!!]

s.h.i.+ro : [Even though that schedule was also done without his permission?]

Kuro : [Its fine if I do it Were lovers.]

s.h.i.+ro : [Mnhhh.]

Eden : [I see. In that case, I will also be my beloved childs]

Kuro : [He will definitely not accept you!]

Eden : [How disrespectful.]
