Character Story 4: Precious, Doting Daily Rounds
Scene: Landsol town square.
Yuuki and Nanaka came downtown to make the daily rounds.
Nanaka
Are you ready... young man! Today, as promised, we're making the daily rounds!
Nanaka
Lots of new volumes been piling up, so I've been seriously looking forward to today!
Nanaka
I could even say that I've been living just for this moment...
A light shines.
Nanaka
Ah, whoa! W-what is this light...! Could this be a portal to another world!?
Nanaka
Could there be never-before-seen beautiful girls waiting for me there!? The only thing that can stop my in-game cheats...
Scene: A dream. A street in Japan.
Nanaka
Hmm, hmm hmm! I wonder what kind of meeting is in store for me today!
Nanaka
Oh, it's you! What a coincidence!
Nanaka
What are you doing?
Yuuki
1. "I'm taking a walk."
2. "I stepped out for a breather."
Option 1.
Nanaka
A walk! That's nice! After all, you might turn a corner and crash into a beautiful girl!
Nanaka
From the impact, you'll fall on top of her, and she'll be all like, "you pervert!" But then, the next day, she'll transfer into your class!
Nanaka
Whee hee hee... How nice...
Option 2.
Nanaka
Ooh! How nice! After being a shut-in for a while, I guess there are times when you just want to breathe some fresh air.
Nanaka
When you get to the point of losing track of day and night, you start to worry whether it's okay to go on that way! Otaku get that way, too!
Nanaka
Even otaku need to step out every once in a while!
End of branches.
Nanaka
Oh! If you're saying that, then you're free, right? Then, let's make the rounds together!
Nanaka
Follow me, comrade Yuuki!
Scene: An anime goods store in Japan.
Nanaka
Uwaaa! This place really is the best!
Nanaka
I want to live here, to stay here forever! Okay, I'm gonna set up camp here!
Nanaka
Now, now, what do we have today...
Nanaka
Ahhh! It's here!
Nanaka
A new animated CG from Shinmetsu no Bahamutia! This quality is godlike! Seriously, I can't even!
Nanaka
And then! Lilieri-chan! She's heeere! C-C'mon, look over here! Ahhh! She looked!
Nanaka
My prayers have been answered... Oh god! ... Ahh! It's like a mysterious light from this scene is blinding me!
Nanaka
Please, stop! My HP is already zero! No, wait, don't stop! Show me more!
Nanaka
Hah, hah, this is too much... I'm losing myself in Lilieri's cuteness...
Nanaka
In order to share this cuteness with the rest of the world, I need to make sure Lilieri gets more scenes...!
Yuuki
1. "You can do that?"
Nanaka
Fufufu, yep, I sure can!
Nanaka
Try not to be too surprised when you hear this, but my dad is the producer of the new Bahamutia!
Nanaka
That's why, if I ask him really insistently, he totally ought to listen to me!
Nanaka
In fact, the other day, I made them rerecord all of the voice acting right before the broadcast!
Nanaka
I felt sorry for the staff... But this is for Lilieri's sake...
Nanaka
Ufufu... Lilieri is seriously so cute... It would be great if she were the main heroine...
Nanaka
Aaah, Lilieri.... You're precious, too precious! Aah, I can't... I'm gonna... Lilieriiii!
...
Nanaka
Uh, sorry about losing it earlier! I just like Lilieri so much that I went a little crazy.
Nanaka
I'm in the afterglow period now, so I won't get that way again... Ahh! I found some promotional goods from Astorum!
Nanaka
Oh! A strategy guide! But I'm not the type of person to read these! I'd rather do it on my own, learning from my mistakes as I play!
Nanaka
But, it'd be great if this had some tricks for playing as a magic user on the front lines...
Nanaka
But making mistakes and thinking of ways to fix them is part of the fun! In Astorum, I can finally be the magical girl I've always wanted to be!
Nanaka
In reality, I'm just a normal otaku, but in the game, I can be just like the person in my dreams! It's great!
Nanaka
Aah, it would be the best if that world was real! Not just a game, but a real tale of a real magical girl...
Nanaka
Uwaa! My imagination is running wild! I've gotta go home and log in right away! Comrade Yuuki! That's it for today's rounds!
Nanaka
So then, let's meet again in Astorum! Goodbye, youth!
End of dream.
Amesu
All right, good work.
Amesu
What you just saw was something like a dream. You'll forget about it soon after waking up, so don't worry about it right now.
Amesu
That said, Nanaka really likes magical girls, huh...
Amesu
To think that her dream has come true, and she doesn't even realize it... It seems a little cruel to me.
Amesu
The current situation might be good for Nanaka right now, but eventually, she'll need to face reality.
Amesu
Because, one day, the spell that turned her into a magical girl will wear off...
Amesu
Ah, I've been rambling. I was just talking to myself. Don't worry about it.
Amesu
Let's leave it at that for today. See you later!
Nanaka
... Eh? Why was I sleeping in a place like this...?
Nanaka
I feel like I was dreaming about being with you somewhere...
Nanaka
Eh? You, too? Ooh, this feels like destiny!
Nanaka
Could these be memories from our past lives? That sounds like something Anna would love!
Nanaka
Aside from being together with you, I don't remember much else about the dream, but there's this character called Lilieri still stuck in my head...
Nanaka
This should be the first time I've ever heard that name, but it feels so nostalgic... And more importantly, that girl was right in my strike zone!
Nanaka
Ahh, I want to see you just one more time, Lilieri. No, I have to go looking for her! Yeah, let's do it!
Nanaka
The impact of that never-before-seen cuteness... If she's sleeping somewhere in this city right now, I need to find her and lavish her with love!
Nanaka
All right, it's decided! For today's daily rounds, we're going to search for Lilieri!
Leaving aside the Legendary Grimoire to search for the legendary Lilieri instead, the two of them looked all over town.
