"That brings back memories, Buster Ball."
After school.
When I visited Kaguya-senpai and Licia at their apartment, I told them about what we had talked about in gym class.
By the way, my head is on Kaguya-senpai's lap.
I was feeling moderately tired after my gym class, so I lay down on the sofa and before I knew it, I found myself like this.
A terrific casual lap pillow.
Even I would overlook it.
"Now that I think about it, it doesn't exist in this world."
Says Licia, sitting opposite me, while typing away at an incredible speed on the keyboard of the spatial display.
This alone is impressive, but in Licia's case, she also works in parallel using brainwave control.
The actual work speed would be that of dozens of people.
"Well, Our values isn't as crazy as that of Blue Sphere."
After all, it's a world where human experiments are openly carried out using the murderous species Weiss as an excuse.
Honest ethics have long since collapsed.
Just as killing each other in the Colosseum was a widespread form of entertainment in Roman times, values can change as much as we like depending on the country or era.
This is especially true if it is a different world full of dystopia.
"It's as if our values are messed up."
"You can't really enjoy that in real life unless you're really into it."
"Casualties are pretty low, aren't they?"
"... You're not wrong..."
"Buster Ball players undergo surgery to modify their bodies. Although they're not as strong as Valkyries, they're still strong enough that they won't be seriously injured even if they're hit with a nail bat."
"It's shocking... It seriously is shocking..."
It's really shocking...
"I'm pretty sure baseball is a popular sport on Earth, right?"
"Yep. It's fun."
I'm just a hitter though.
Or rather in Power P〇.
It's fun to make My Life unbeatable with the characters I create successfully.
For Laurels, it all depends on the balance.
I really can't stand these unreasonable automatic points being conceded.
"I wonder how many modifications baseball players have?"
"They don't have any though???"
Kaguya-senpai said something scary.
Don't you know anything about sportsmanship???
...Come to think of it, that's the common sense of that world!
"Eh? But then you won't be able to throw the ball at 200 kilometers per hour, and you won't be able to make plays that blind the opponent with your eyesight."
"Turning the skin on your fingertips into rubber is supposed to be a basic tactic."
"...What's the idea behind playing with bare hands?"
""......!!?""
"That reaction is something I expect from you two."
What's with that look thinking it's impossible?
Is this a world gap rather than a generation gap?
"Even so, now that we've been talking about it, it's made me want to see Buster Ball again."
As I was trembling in fear, Licia suddenly spoke up.
"...As I said before, the only place where such barbarian sports are popular is in the Blue Sphere, right?"
"That seems to be the case. But how about a VR space?"
"Mu"
"Fighting games and VPS have already been released. Moreover, the latter has become so popular that it can be said to be a must-have communication tool for VTubers to collaborate, right?"
Now that she mentioned it, VPS was quite popular nowadays.
I don't really get that feeling because the only gamers around me are Licia and Suisen-senpai.
There is no doubt that many Vtubers are streaming at a level where they can get wins in Apex Legends .
"In other words, the inhabitants of this world should be able to assume that a certain degree of violence is less threatening if it's within a game."
"What's with that way of saying it?"
But, that's true.
Playing Buster Ball in real life would be out of the question, but if you play it as a VR game, it might be acceptable.
It's true that it's a strange way to put it, but I think many people would be fine with battles in a VR space.
Otherwise, even if a VRMMO were to be released, it probably wouldn't become popular.
Yeah, if you think of it as just a game, the barrier to entry is lowered dramatically.
"So, how about we hold it as an event within Prisma Ark?"
Speaking of which.
During the otome game stream, I said I wanted to play various games with Ouka.
Remembering this, I decided to make the following suggestion.
"That's good. Let's program it right away."
When I casually suggested it, I got a pretty enthusiastic response.
How hungry are you for Buster Balls?
"No no, you're being hasty. You need to check with everyone."
Considering the need to submit a proposal, gather participants, coordinate schedules, and so on, it is impossible to hold an event on short notice.
We need to gather at least 18 people.
"Well then, please tell them about it"
"It's fine, but we can't participate. Even if we take into account skill and experience, I think it would be better for us to be a referee and commentators."
It's fine if it's just a family get-together, but if we're going to gather that many people together we want to make it an event.
"I don't mind. I'm more of a spectator than a player anyway."
"How about you, Kaguya-senpai?"
"Same as Licia-chan. I'll be supporting the two of you as the host."
So, tap tap
Alferia Rinker
《CEO. CEO. I'm thinking of a bloody event. What do you think?》
The phone rang.
◇◆◇
"... Phew."
"Are you okay, Aria? It seemed like she was angry."
After hanging up the phone, Kaguya-senpai looked at me worriedly, so I gave a wry smile.
"Well, it's my fault for sending such a silly message."
When I showed her what I had sent, she looked at me as if she was looking at a troubled child and said, "Oh my, Aria."
Honestly, this is a bit embarrassing to say.
"So, how was it? What were the results?"
"It's fine. Of course, there are restrictions on the gore, pain sensations, and so on."
"Restrictions on expression? I don't really understand how that works."
"It's fine if it's comical. Things flying around in an exaggerated way, stars flying around. Why not take inspiration from comedy anime or something?"
The important thing is to create a sense of surrealism.
"I understand. Alpheria, please help me."
Licia unfolded a new floating screen and slid it over to me.
"I don't mind, but is it okay, Licia? It looks like you're still working on something else."
I ask as I unfold the keyboard.
"It's not a problem. I've just assigned some tasks to my subordinates."
"Here comes the bullying boss!"
“I’m doing dozens of times more tasks than my subordinates. And my subordinates willingly joined me in order to learn my skills. I have to ask them to do at least this much.”
"We also intend to provide proper after-sales service," Licia concluded matter-of-factly.
Come to think of it, Licia is worshipped like a god in the IT department.
Apparently, many programmers were so enamored with her skills that they flocked to her.
Unstoppable Prisma Ark (only behind the scenes)
What's going to happen later?
"Ah, right, I almost forgot."
While I was typing on the keyboard, I contacted Sakura.
Kisaragi Aria
《We're going to have an event in Prisma Ark soon, so like I said in the otome game, please invite at least one person by yourself. Of course, your genmates don't count》
Kisaragi Sakura
《Hmph… I guess I’ll just say I’ll decline (and before I knew it, I ended up participating)》
Kisaragi Aria
《Hmph... I'll tell you that's not an option (I've already done the groundwork with Mitsuki so don't worry)}
Kisaragi Sakura
《Hmph... I'll say it's impossible (I think it's against the rules to gang on me with 2 people within the family!)》
Kisaragi Aria
《Hmph... You can't (heart)》
Kisaragi Sakura
《(´;ω;｀)》
"Okay."
"...Aria-chan, you're too soft on Sakura-chan."
A slightly moist voice came from Kaguya-senpai.
"Really? I think I'm pretty strict already though."
This incident must have come as a complete surprise to Sakura.
"But you're going to follow up later, right?"
"Well, I'm aware that I'm being unreasonable."
"... You're to soft on her after all."
"I wonder."
For now, I tried patting Kaguya-senpai on the head.
It made her put a big smile on her face.
You're okay with this?
