Chapter S1

nThis chapter took a little longer to translate it.

nA side story of a classmate.

nべスベルウィッチ= Besbel Witch (suggest any better one though i don't think this will be in future chapters)

nS1 The day when the daily life ended

nThat day, it was just an ordinary day.

nI go to school, eat with my friends, attend the classes, play games once I go back home, eat, bath and then sleep.

nIt should have been such an ordinary day.

nOn that day, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and went to school.

nIt's all because I played online game till late night yesterday.

nLuckily, I was able to join the same party with Bald-san ( ハゲさん ) and I played throughout the night.

nThe Bald-san who I mentioned just now is a famous player in the online game that I play.

nJust as the name, a person who uses a bald-headed rough old man as avatar, a free player who throw away romance and controlling such an amazing character with skillful technique in the front lines..

nDue to the fact that he doesn't even chat, many players were attracted to him.

nIt's inevitable that I was feeling excited because I can play with the famous Bald-san.

nUpon reaching the school, I suppress my yawn and enter my classroom.

n「 Morning 」

n「 Good morning 」

n「 Ossu....What's wrong? You look sleepy 」

nI greet my friends who are Sasajima Kyouya and Ooshima Kanata.

nBoth of them played the same online game as me, this is what the so-called game comrades.

n「 Ou, listen and get surprised. Yesterday, I formed a party with Bald-san 」

n「 Seriously!? 」

n「 Ou, seriously. We almost complete the quest thanks to him. 」 (「おう、マジマジ。おかげでほぼ徹ゲーしちまった」 TL note: not really sure on this 徹ゲー)

n「 Uwaa. Seriously. Is it that? The one that I leave after that. 」

nI played with Kanata till around midway.

nBut, he logged out because it's already late in the night.

n「 Dammit. If so, I should have persevere for a little more! 」

nKanata seemed to be really frustrating.

nBut if Kanata didn't leave the party, I won't be able to play with Bald-san.

n「 How was it, looking closely at Bald-san? 」

nAsked by Kyouya, I recalled the gallant figure of Bald-san.

n「 That is not a human. Avoiding the Besbel Witch's magic while advancing. Can you believe it? 」

nBesbel Witch is a boss in a high leveled dungeon and this fellow is rather harsh.

nIn the internet it was called 「Another Game」「Barrage」 due to its outrageous amount of magic attack that it can fire in rapid succession.

n(ネットでは「別ゲー」「弾幕」と呼ばれるくらいで、とんでもない量の魔法攻撃を連発してくる。 TL: not sure about the title whether it's 2 different titles or just 1 title.)

nThis boss's troublesome point was there's no end in its magic.

nThere's no opportunity to attack and if you leave alone, it will keep on firing magic.

nNormally, you would raise magic defense then attack with the resolution to die together, or using shields for the ones at the back and keep on firing magic on it.

nBut that Bald-san, he charged straight from the front, avoiding every magic fired and jumped towards its bosom and cut it down.

nThat was surprising.

nI opened my mouth wide looking at the game screen.

n「 As expected from Bald-san. Looks like his other name, Idaten (韋駄天) is not just for a show. 」

n「 No, there's no way anyone can move that fast without some skills. In the end, it requires skills to perform such movement. 」

nKanata said that while beating his own arm.

nCertainly, even with the same status and equipment, I don't think I can do the same thing as Bald-san.

n「 Ah. I want to get better 」

n「 Want to level after school ends? 」

n「 Sure 」

n「 I also agree. Let's train at somewhere harder! 」

nThe chime rang after we settled our talk.

nWe separated and sat on our own seat.

nWithout knowing that the promise will not be fulfilled.

n「 Huh? 」

nI started prepare for the class after I sat and I noticed that my pencil case was not in the bag.

nCome to think of it, I recalled that I used it to summarize the information of the game in a notebook.

nI probably forgotten to put it inside the bag.

n「 Uh oh 」

n「 What's wrong? 」

nThe person who reacted was Hasebe Yuika, the girl who sit next to me.

n「 I forgot to bring my pencil case 」

n「 Aryarya. It can't be helped. I will lend mine to you 」

nHasebe says so and hands a mechanical pencil and an eraser.

n「 Sorry 」

n「 Umu. I will have you buy me a sweet 」

n「 So it's not free 」

nI accept it while smiling wryly and waving my hand.

nLikewise, not knowing that this was another promise that cannot be fulfilled.

nAnd then, that time came.

nIt was during the Japanese Language class.

nI was sleepy.

nI was fighting against the intense sleepiness.

nIn front, standing on the platform was a small-sized teacher called by a nickname, Oka-chan who was reading aloud the kanji from the textbook.

nMost of the students are dropping their line of vision to the textbook on the desk.

nI shake of my drowsiness desperately and I unintentionally raised my head up.

nIn front of my eyes was a figure of a female student sitting at the front-left seat.

nIt was the person called Rihoko ( リホ子 ).

nIt's not her real name.

nReal Horror Child ( リアルホラー子) . Rihoko for short.

nShe's an eerie woman who's very thin with a pale face and always have a gloomy expression.

nI don't want to speak ill of such a person that much, but an incompatible sense did it by all means even if I understand it.

nRihoko dozed off boldly as if she is ridiculing me, who fought against drowsiness.

nWhile feeling unpleasant, I remove my eyesight from her.

nThere, It...was there.

nIt was a crack.

nI am probably the only one who noticed it in this classroom.

nExactly on the middle of the classroom, above, a crack appeared where there should be nothing there.

nThere was no other words to describe it except a crack.

nMoreover, the size gradually increased.

nThe crack looks like it was going to break at any moment.

nEven if I saw it, I couldn't do anything as I looked at it dumbfounded.

nThe result probably would not change even if I did something....

nThe crack broke grandly.

nAt the same time, I felt a terrible pain.

nAnd I, we died.
