Loner High-School Girl And The God-Tier Game — Communication Disorder, Forced To Speak

Seven hours have already gone by since I entered this world.

Time runs at different speeds in the real world and the virtual one. In here, thought is accelerated to triple speed, and the world and your avatar are generated fast enough to keep pace with that thinking. In other words, three hours in the game is one hour in reality.

My real body should only be two hours and twenty minutes past login. So why the Toilet Alert?!

“Ah!”

A word of caution about VRMMOs. Or rather, about full-diving in general.

Always go to the bathroom before you start.

I was only going to poke at it for a bit today and then log off, so I never went! Oh no. I’ve really done it now!

Naturally, I am not wearing a diaper either. At this rate, my bed is going to turn into a flood plain.

“Ngh—!”

The game wires my real bladder straight into this body whether I like it or not.

A monstrous urge to pee comes surging up into my brain!

“M-m-my dignity as a human being! My dignityyyyyyyyyyy—!!!!”

— Shoom. Far overhead, a spaceship passed by.

At the same moment, a single player icon appeared on my radar.

“A player… a spaceship…!”

I run for the player icon, thrusters wide open. I burn them for 1.2 seconds, land, burn again, over and over. The spaceship drops into the forest, and I go in after it.

Figures spotted. Two Space Girls and one Guide Girl (?). Three of them in total.

“E-e-excuse me! Your spaceship— please, let me on your spaceship!!”

The urge to pee drowns out my terror of other people.

“…?! You’re…!”

“Ahh! Player name ‘Shiki’…! I finally found you!”

“Ohh, so this is the girl Shiina was talking about.”

Not quite the reaction I was expecting, but right now I don’t care!

“Ah, um! Your spaceship…! I, I do understand this is a shameless thing to ask, but! The t-toilet— the Toilet Alert!! In about five more minutes, I— I’m… I’m! Going to wet myself!”

“”“Eeeeh?!!”““

Saying something like that out loud is humiliating, but this is no time to care.

Next to actually wetting myself, this much shame is nothing…!

“Got it! Quick, get o—”

“Please wait.”

The Space Girl with the flat, half-lidded stare throws out an arm and stops the pink-haired one.

“Very well. We will let you aboard our spaceship.”

“Th-th-thank y—!”

“However, there is a condition. We will let you aboard the spaceship, so in exchange you will grant one request of ours. Anything we ask.”

“Huh?!”

“Hey, Shiina! Do you really think this is the time for that?! She’s got a Toilet Alert running!”

“Yes. Which makes it extremely convenient.”

“Y-you… what’s wrong with you…”

“Now, choose. Wet yourself, or accept our request and board the spaceship.”

“Whoaaa~, a demon! There’s an actual demon here!”

A request… Are they going to want an item, or money, or something? Ugh…! N-no good. I can’t think straight…!

“I-I’ll do anything you say, so! Please, just let me on already!!”

“—Very good. In that case, Niko: hand over every chip you own to me, and die.”

“Roger! I’ll die! —Is that what you thought I’d say?! Why do I have to be the one who dies?!”

“Because that spaceship seats three, Guide Girl included.”

“Sorry, Nikki!”

“Ngh! Even so, you’re the one who should…! Oh, forget it, this is no time to argue!!”

The Space Girl called Niko pulled up her system screen and transferred over every chip she owned.

“Heaven help me!!¹”

Then she committed seppuku with her laser saber.

I board the spaceship with the one Space Girl who is left and the Guide Girl, who takes the controls for us.

“Shiki. Your friend code.”

“Y-yes…”

“If you remove me from your friends list, I will not forgive you.”

“…Yes…”

“Then I look forward to the day we meet again.”

We make it back to the Space Station safely, and I log out at once.

“M-m-move, move it~!”

“…Ugh. Don’t run indoors, Big Sis.”

I dodge around my sister as she comes out of her room, and dive into the bathroom.

…Somehow, my dignity held! Thank goodness!

I decided not to log in again today. I rush through my prep for tomorrow’s classes, then look up the White Meteor on my PC.

“White Meteor — a player who appeared one month after Infinity-Space went on sale. Player name: ‘Shirahoshi’. Wielding the Ultima Weapon ‘GodAccel’, she mows players down at overwhelming speed.”

So her name’s Shirahoshi.

“She appears chiefly on the lunar surface, where she turns hostile toward players. She is absent for long stretches, but shows herself on the moon once every two days. Clearing the lunar surface requires a stay of three days or more, so anyone attempting the moon cannot avoid a collision with her. Her player name, together with the way she appears at meteoric speed, earned her the epithet ‘White Meteor’². In some quarters it is said she is not a player at all, but a raid boss the developers planted there.”

Apparently nobody has managed to beat her yet. Some even say that defeating the White Meteor is the game’s clear condition, and there are whole Armies out there dedicated to bringing her down. Maybe that group up on the lunar surface was one of them.

“White Meteor… huh.”

The finest prey there is.

Someday, I want to put a bullet through that head.
