540-Where did my human rights go?






 Racing games played in the virtual world were really fun. There was a course that ran through the ocean and a course built above the sky that was only possible because of the virtual world, so I lost track of time and got into it.
 I won and lost the race with Alice, one win and four losses, but I was able to snatch a win in the last race, so I was very happy with the outcome.

 Then Alice announced that it was time to open it up to the public, and we returned from the virtual world to our original world.

''Well no, but it was really fun. I'd like to play with it again when it's finished.
I'm glad to hear that you like it. Well, there are still a lot of issues to be solved in terms of cost and technology, so it will probably take more than ten years to complete. But I'll have Kite-san do some more test plays.
That's gratifying. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it.
Haha, there are still other attractions, so you can expect more of those too.

 As I suspected, it's really difficult to complete a game like that. Even if Black, the leading expert in magic tools, and Alice, who has a lot of knowledge, worked together, it would still take more than ten years to complete the game...
 However, from what I've played, I feel like the game is almost complete... is there still a serious problem?
 As I was thinking about that, Alice, who sensed my doubts, opened her mouth with a wry smile.

''........As I said before, the concept itself has been in the works for quite some time.
...What?
"In the real world, there was no way to suppress the magic of Isis-san's death since it is the foundation of her existence. That's why I came up with the idea of a mental entity. Compared to the main body, the magic power of the mental entity is considerably lower. If so, I thought that if I assisted with an external magic formula, I could suppress the magic power of death within a large scale boundary, well, that's what I was thinking about.
....
However, it was difficult to suppress the magic of death without affecting the existence of Isis-san, even if it was limited to the virtual world, which is a mental entity and a large scale ward. There were problems in terms of cost and technology, so it was difficult to try it out.

 Apparently, the reason he decided to create that virtual world was for Isis-san. Isis-san's dream, without a doubt, was to meet someone who would accept her even if her strength was weak.
 Judging from Alice's manner of speaking, she has been thinking about it for quite some time.

''Well, it wasn't even close to being completed, and it doesn't necessarily work out. So I kept it a secret from the rest of the team so that they wouldn't get their hopes up. Well, it was originally Kuro-san who came up with the idea on his own, and he asked me for help because I had knowledge of technology that was not available in this world.
So, Alice is helping you.
''Yes, I owed Black-san a debt of gratitude, and as for Isis-san, well, I felt sorry for her to the extent of a few sparrow tears. No, I really didn't care about it. Black-san asks too much, you know.
You're not being honest.
Anyway, that's what we were planning to do, but it didn't go well at all. Anyway, that's what we were planning to do, but it didn't go well at all, and it was so hard to even make a single experimental tool... in the end, we had to freeze the project halfway through.

 So she stopped talking once, and Alice turned to me, smiled brightly, and then opened her mouth again.

''........In the end, Kite-san's appearance saved Isis-san. On the contrary, thanks to Kite-san, we were able to get Sharovanal-sama's cooperation, and the project progressed at once. Kite-san, a real 'singularity'.
'Oh, haha, well, if it helped... yeah? Wait a minute, what did you just say? Did I help you get Mr. White to cooperate?
'What? Eh..........until now, even though Kuro-san asked her to do so, Sharovanar-sama, who has always been all about 'I'm not interested', has generously cooperated with us this time, even if it's on the condition of a date with Kite-san.......
You're asking for a date with me?
Didn't you say...?

 Wait a minute, I just heard some unheard words. I did promise to go around the seventh day with White. It felt like I was leading him to ask me out, but that's not a problem.

'Hey, Alice. No way.
I'm sure you're not the only one who's cooperated with us, but I'm sure you've been forced to repeat endlessly, saying 'It's not fair for Black to be the only one'. ...
"...Oh, I see...

 Sure, that endless repeat is hard to do. I don't blame Black for being pushed to the edge. But even so, I'd like to say one thing.

''By the way, Alice ... do you know the word human rights?''
Well, I'm from a different world, so I don't know much about the Japanese Constitution.
Don't look away. Look at me. You know exactly what I mean.

 Dear Mom, Dad - what can I say, well, it's not that I don't like dating White. Besides, if I was able to cooperate with Kuro and Alice, I'm rather happy about it. So I don't blame Black and Alice for that, but I do want to make sure of one thing - where are my human rights?
