134 124 Suzuki Ichigo (Part 2)





 The day Ichigo realizes her feelings for Sato, her dazzling love life begins.
 The dazzling life of Mevion in love has begun.

 More concretely, she began to follow Seven wherever she went and whatever she did, as long as the time suited her, as the first generation of Framboise.

 In Mevion, Ichigo's purpose in life had shifted from secretly observing to imposing.

 In the real world, on the other hand, he was still secretly observing as always. There was no way for Sato Shichiro to know that Framboise Issei, who was always with him, was the resident of the next room.


 Ichigo was enjoying every day of his life.

 Even while she was on the train to get to school, while she was taking a lecture at the university, even during the mere ten seconds she was crushing the "energy boosting max!" jelly drink for lunch, all she could think about was Sato.

 My daily life, which had felt empty, became as bright as if it had been colored with paint.

 In front of Senpai, in front of SEVEN, I can be my true self. Even if I'm a balding old man and speak in women's language, I won't be creeped out or avoided. That sense of security was irreplaceable.

 Ichigo realized that he had been "acting" somewhere. The character of Framboise I, who she thought was her true self, was just a manly man, and the image of that 'manly man' she thought was her true self was just a dream.


It's not easy, really.

 Ichigo sighed at his utterly difficult personality.

 Ichigo wanted Sato to see his true self. And she wanted him to accept her.
 The relationship between seven and Framboise Issei alone did not mean that he was truly accepted for who he really was.

 That was a greedy idea, he knew it was a greedy idea.
 Still, he was falling inexplicably in love with Sato, to the point where he couldn't hold himself back anymore.


 ...... but Ichigo wouldn't have the courage to reveal his true identity.
 You can't even confess to them.

 You can't afford to have a man confess his feelings to you, Sato. It's because he's been observing her day in and day out that Ichigo knows.

 -- so, at least.
 If it's in the virtual world--.


'Yeah, it's just like that: ......

 This is a sub-character I tried to create.
 I used a premium charged avatar to make her look exactly like Suzuki Ichigo's original appearance (・・・・・).

 Named after Raspberry, which means "Tree Ichigo", and attached a bell, which means "Bell" - Raspberry Bell.
 Ichigo and bell. Together they are Suzuki Ichigo.

 That was Ichigo's courage as much as she could muster.

 On the nameplate of the apartment, it says "Suzuki Ichigo". People with a keen sense of intuition would have noticed it.


Well, they wouldn't notice.

 Smiling lovingly, I look at my alter ego.


 Let's secretly nurture it. And someday, someday, .......

 Ichigo had made up his mind to do so.






 A few days later.
 Ichigo found herself in Mövius Online.

 The memories of the last few days have been slipping away (・・・・・). It took a few seconds for me to realize that.

 And in front of Ichigo's eyes - a huge statue of the god Kamel.

 It's in the center of the holy city of Old Joe, in the Holy Temple. It was the place where the sub-character 'Raspberry Belle' had logged out for the last time. I brought her here to this place to learn 【Recovery Magic】 sequentially from now on, and then left her there.

 That means that I logged into Mevion with Raspberry Bell at some point.

 Too, abruptly. 'I wonder if he was tired at home?' And. Ichigo tilted his head at the strange situation. Then.


'Oh ...... oh!

 Behind Strawberry, a man exclaimed in admiration.


'...... na, what?'

 Ichigo turns around to check the owner of the voice.
 There was a man with wide eyes, ready to worship Ichigo at any moment. It was Pope Black, the dictator of the Kamel God State.

 Ichigo thinks. Didn't this guy talk like this NPC--?


"The saintly woman is coming! All of you, pray for us: ......!


 The next moment, Pope Black shouted aloud and bowed to Ichigo.

 Then the hundreds of Camelid believers who were crowded behind him prayed to Ichigo in unison.


'What? A saint? Me? ...... Huh?

 Strawberry is puzzled. And so it should be. There is no such thing as a "saint" in Mevion, and the most likely explanation is that some strange story event was implemented in the last update. The most likely explanation is that the most recent update to the game may have included some strange storyline events.


...... It's no wonder," he said. I'll go with you, so get on with it.

 With a sigh, Ichigo muttered to himself.

 If it's a compulsory event, let's just make it quick and easy. And then I'll make Raspberry Belle learn 【Restoration Magic】 and 【Preparation】, and then I'll train her in earnest as a support character: ......



 ...... At this time, Ichigo still didn't know anything about it.

 A few hours later, he was astonished to realize three facts.


 One. Ichigo Suzuki had committed suicide (・・・・・・). That's what I remembered. From the crack incident to the extremely unacceptable reality of Sato Shichiro's death, the shock was so overwhelming that his brain couldn't bear the extreme stress and mental anguish, blocking out his perception of reality to protect his mind, resulting in his memory being interrupted.

 Two. The fact that this is the unmistakable real world. There was no way to log out, she couldn't log out, and after some time she would get hungry, she would need to go to the bathroom, and it would hurt to pinch her cheeks. The human consciousness of a human named Suzuki Ichigo had gained a vessel (depression) called Raspberry Bell and was reincarnated in a world that looked exactly like Mevion's.

 Three. He (...) had become a she (...). Raspberry Belle is a female character. When Strawberry realized that she didn't have what she was supposed to have between her legs, she wet her pillow that night.



 ...... Everything was meshing badly together.

 When Strawberry appeared before the statue of the Goddess Kamel, Pope Black and his many followers were in the middle of their "prayers. Unfortunately, many of them had witnessed it. The divine power.

 The holy place, Ordrejo, was the most closely watched place in the Kamel Godland. In a space where nothing is supposed to happen, a beautiful woman suddenly appears. It was a phenomenon that could not be misunderstood. It was a feat of divine power without any seeds or tricks. At that moment, the Pope, convinced that she was a saint, shouted "The Descent of a Saint," which was one of the major factors that led his followers to believe that Ichigo was a saint.

 In the midst of the prayer, he would log in right in front of them ...... Just this alone made Raspberry Belle recognized by many of her followers as a saint.

 Thus, Raspberry Belle, as a Camel saint, takes herself into captivity in the Camel Church.


 And this wasn't the only problem.

 Raspberry Belle, who was thinking of starting to develop as a support character from now on, was of course a "supporter" growth type. Its status was not much more than a sparrow's eye.
 She hadn't raised any of her combat-related skills, and she hadn't earned any experience value other than what she needed to learn 【Recovery Magic】 and 【Formulation】. Ichigo's deliberate personality of eliminating waste had backfired.

 Hence, he was unable to obtain the "power" to oppose the Black Pope. Naturally, he was not allowed to go out, which meant he couldn't even read skill books, let alone gain experience. The only skills he could learn from his confinement in the holy land of Ordrejo were supportive skills that did not require combat, such as 【Recovery Magic】 and 【Formulation】.


 In addition to that, the recovery magic and the blending of the two skills would put pressure on Ichigo.

 To Ichigo, the method of learning 【Recovery, Different】 and 【Recovery, All】, which could be said to be common sense, was a closely guarded secret in the Kamel religion. The existence of Raspberry Bell, who had learned them so casually, could not help but be considered to have the power to communicate with God. Because of this, the people around her no longer believed that Raspberry Belle was a saint.

 In addition, the Kansai dialect also worked in a bad way. To the people of the Kamel God State, Raspberry Belle's stiff Kansai dialect sounded somehow like an "archaic" language.


 Thus, Raspberry Belle became the universally recognized saint.

 She prays, gathers faith, casts restorative spells, mixes "medicine" and saves her people. It's not a bad life.


 But ...... lives as a saint. But for Ichigo, it is a backward step into an empty life.

 A life without seven, without Sato, is no longer possible for Ichigo.


"I'm sure Senpai will be reincarnated in this world too, ......

 Although baffled by this exquisitely strange world, Ichigo was on the edge and didn't despair.

 She spends her days hoping for a little more. Pursuing the shadow of Shichiro Sato. That's his only hope, his only hope.

 But, after all, there was a limit to what he could do on his own. If he couldn't go outside in the first place, he couldn't even get in touch with the outside world. There was no way to find her.



 Then one day, a turning point came to Ichigo.

 A pilgrimage, an opportunity to visit the churches in the Kamel Godland in order. It was an event to gather faith in the saints and increase the prestige of the pope, and it happened when we stopped by the city in the southern part of the Kamel Godland.

 A suspected carriage that had invaded from the Kingdom of Castal had rushed into the city, pursued by the Divine Kingdom soldiers.

 A woman jumps out of the carriage that was overturned by the attack of the soldiers who had been ambushed, and a woman jumps out of the carriage.


 It's usable - Ichigo instantly calculates.


'Wait a minute. Isn't killing in front of a saint a bad idea?

 Just before the soldier swung his sword down to the woman who was dying after receiving more than double-digit arrows in her back. Ichigo stopped the soldier with her words as a saint.

''I'll take care of this baby. What do you think?
You can do what you want with ....... The saint's philanthropy is nothing new.

 He approached Pope Black in front of the public.
 Needless to say, it was a daring question, anticipating that it would be hard to refuse.


'Don't move!'

 Ichigo pulled out the arrows stuck in the woman's back one by one and then used 《Recovery, Large》 to recover her HP.
 The woman's complexion improved as she watched, and she regained her fuzzy consciousness.

 Her back, which was devoid of arrows, had a number of round holes in her clothes, like a cross-section of a lotus root (・・・・).

'Hey, tell me your name,'
............ that's ......

Why can't I tell you who I am? Okay, you're really starting today, Renko. You'll be taking care of our stuff. Come with me.



 Thus, Strawberry picked up Renko. To use (・・・・).

 He decided to teach her how to learn skills, teach her how to earn experience, teach her covert action, and make her learn to stock up on information from the outside world.


 All in order to be reunited with Shichiro Sato. To build up his strength against the Black Pope.

 Preparing for the time to come, Ichigo turned Renko into his weapon of choice.





...... Really?
''Yes. A man by the name of Second First Test has won the triple crown of Issenza, Eishou and Reiou in the winter title fight--
It! Oh, really? ......!
'Yes, yes. It's true. Dear Raspberry Bell: ......?
............~~~ !!!!


 --The joke sense of naming a sub-character 'Second'. The even more ludicrous sense of naming the family name 'First Test'. Absolutely yes! Ichigo was convinced that this was the best moment of his life.


 It was the happiest moment of Suzuki Ichigo's twenty-one years of life (provisionally number one).


'Te, te, te, letter! No, no, no. You want Renko to go straight to him? No, but I knew it was a letter! Oh, what should I write ...... oh, oh, Senpai, you're alive ...... thank goodness, thank goodness you're alive ......!

 A mixture of emotions - happy, relieved, excited, and worried about how to make contact - made Ichigo cry and laugh as she turned over the contents of the drawer to find paper and pen. But there was no such thing as paper and pen in a saint's room, where contact with the outside world was forbidden. Ichigo was so perturbed that he forgot about such basic things.


 It's as if she's a damsel in love struggling with the contents of a love letter.

 Renko looked at such a raspberry bell as if she was somewhat sad.

 In the end, Ichigo spent a whole day thinking about the contents of the letter to the second, and Renko, who had memorized it by heart, took the utmost care to send the letter to the Kamel Church without being distracted by its contents.


 Then a few days later. The Second approached Renko with frightening rapidity.

 With a big bomb (...) called "Revolution".


 The time of the reunion was getting closer by the minute .......
