Event Quest: Virtual Festa Royale (Reprint)

営業先のヒトから最新のゲームを勧められ、
試してみようと、ログインする character0 。

目の前に広がるのは、まるでファンタジーの
世界を再現したかのような景色。

その本物と見間違える程の世界を
わくわくしながら character0 は進んでいく。

新たな仲間と出会い、迷いの森を抜け、
精霊の守り手に会いに行き、
行く先を阻む獣たちと戦い、
伝説の武器を探してさまよい――

順調に見えた character0 の旅だが、
ある恐怖が忍び寄っていることに
character0 はまだ気付いていなかった。

――そう、明日は仕事で
既に深夜を回っているという事実を
勇者： character0 は、まだ知らない……

Having been recommended by a business associate to try a latest game character0 was logging in into it.

The recreated landscape before their eyes was like a fantasy world.

It's such a realistic game, character0 excitedly move forward.

Meeting new companions, getting lost in a forest,
encounter with a spirit guardian, fighting against the blocking beasts,
wandering around in search of legendary weapons…

The journey was going well,
but character0 doesn't realize that a certain terror was creeping up on them.

…The day after was workday,
and it's already very late into the night.
The hero: character0 didn't realize….

character0 は仕事を終えて、
家に帰ると、ゲームを起動する。

新しく追加されたステージを遊んでいると、
見知らぬギミックが発動し、
多くの攻撃が character0 へと牙をむいた。

もうダメだと諦めそうになったその時、
突然颯爽と現れた見知らぬプレイヤーのアシストで
その窮地を逃れることができた character0 。

しかし、お礼を伝える間もなく、そのプレイヤーは
急用が出来たと唐突にログアウトしてしまう。

翌日、その出来事を character1 に話すと、
character1 は驚いたように
character0 のプレイヤーネームを呼んだ。

その時のプレイヤーが character1 だと知り、
ゲームの話で盛り上がる２人は、今度は一緒に
遊ぼうと約束をし合うのだった。

Leaving work and came home, character0 starts the game.

While playing in a newly added stage, without knowing it's gimmick,
character0 was cornered by a lot of onslaught.

When character0 was about to give up, suddenly an unknown player came to assist them,
and they succesfully escape their predicament.

However, before they can convey their gratitude,
that player suddenly logged out saying they have an urgent business.

The next day, while telling the story to character1 ,
character1 exclaim character0 's player name in surprise.

Knowing that the player at that time was character1 ,
the both of them excitedly discuss the game,
and promised to play together again next time.

今回の仕事は、超仮想現実のゲームについて
体験レポートを行うというもの。

話題の最新対戦ゲームが遊べると、楽し気な雰囲気の
character0 と character1 。
対する character2 と character3 は、
絶対勝つと真剣な表情で頷き合う。

的確なアクションを決める character2 に
それを楽し気に避ける character0 。
character1 はアシストでポイントを稼ぎ、
それを戦略的に迎え撃つ character3 ――

両チーム互角のまま、最終決戦へ。
結果は、僅差で character3 たちの勝利！

悔しがりながらも楽しかったと
レポートをする character0 たちに、
勝負の健闘を称える character2 。

character1 の提案で、仕事の後に
楽し気に再戦する４人の姿があったという。

The job was to do a hands-on report on a super virtual reality game.

character0 and character1 were having an excited atmosphere because they got to try the most popular fighting game.
In contrast, character2 and character3 were having a serious expression, saying that they would win.

character2 launch a precise action, but character0 avoids it like they're having fun.
character1 was trying to get point by assisting, but they got strategically intercepted by character3 ….

Both teams remained evenly matched heading into the final showdown.
The result was a narrow victory by character3 's team!

character0 and team were frustrated and yet had fun,
they're doing the report while character2 praise them for their effort in the battle.

At character1 's suggestion, the 4 of them have a fun rematch afterwork.
