This is a weird space with no end in sight, filled with all kinds of incredible dreamlike existences like a huge toy box——

Pumpkin carriages floating in the air, plush dolls with weird smiles, swings and slides that can’t see the top...

Everything seems childish and scary like a dark/fairytale.

"Then, let's explain the rules of the game now~"

The makeup on the clown's face looks as if he is smiling all the time, and he gestures his body like a comedian in a circus to explain.

"The difficulty of the game world will be matched according to your comprehensive ability. Players will randomly obtain identities after entering the dungeon, and need to perform role-playing. If they make behaviors that do not conform to the character design, the corresponding points will be deducted. Each Players have 50 initial points, and in the dungeon, they can get more points by collecting props and clues, the more points they have, the more rewards they will get after clearing the level, if the character dies or the points are 0, they will be eliminated immediately.”

The clown who stepped in mid-air put his left hand on his abdomen, opened his right hand as if welcoming him, and at the same time stretched out a leg straight to the side, and spun happily on the ground with one foot like a ballet dancer.

"Of course, there are various other rules, but explaining them one by one is too troublesome, so please explore by yourself, including the method of clearing the game."

In the end, he bowed as if welcoming the opening ceremony, grinning an exaggerated smile, and there was an imperceptible hint of malice in his frivolous and jumpy tone.

"Then—the game has begun, please enjoy it~"

As soon as the words fell, the square floor with different poker suits printed under his feet broke instantly, and Yakai Riho, who had not had time to ask a question, fell directly into the bottomless black abyss.

When she regained her consciousness, she found that she was in an unfamiliar forest. The branches and leaves of the surrounding trees had withered, leaving only bare brown and black branches.

Yakai Riho glanced around, and then noticed that she was wearing an extremely gorgeous and complicated black dress, with exquisite lace ribbons on the cuffs and neckline.

She checked her body, but there was nothing that could be used, so she picked up the hem of her skirt and prepared to walk out of the forest first.

However, after an unknown period of time, the surrounding scenery still remained unchanged. If it wasn't for seeing a river, Mikai Riho even suspected that he was circling in circles.

She has exhausted a lot of physical strength after not exercising all year round. Since she has no experience in wild survival, she squatted down without any precautions to drink water when she came to the river.

When he saw the monster suddenly appearing behind him in the reflection, it was too late to escape.

The second she thought she was going to be eliminated, the monster was instantly beheaded and turned into ashes.

The young man with dark blue hair in a black knight uniform swung his sword to the side, shaking off the black blood on it, then put the sword back into its sheath, and looked down at the girl who was staring at him blankly.

"How long are you going to squat there and watch? You won't be frightened?"

"Fushimi-kun? Why are you here?"

Yakai Riho stood up immediately after regaining consciousness, but swayed due to exhaustion and dizziness, and was immediately grabbed by the wrist by the other party to stabilize her body.

"Everyone here except the NPCs are all participating players."

Fushimi Saru Hiko withdrew his hand, with a slightly impatient expression showing that this was nonsense.

Then he said: "Currently, my identity is the chief knight of this country. I was ordered by His Majesty the King to lead the Knights to find the princess who slipped out of the castle for fun, that is you."

knight?Princess?

Yakai Riho remembered the role-playing that the clown said before, and looked at the other party again.

The young man with dark blue hair casually pressed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, seemingly lazy but ready to draw his sword and enter the battle state at any time. The slim knight uniform with silver trim made him stand taller, which felt different from the uniform of scepter4 Comparable.

So she said, "It suits you very well."

However, Fushimi Saruhiko's expression suddenly became more gloomy. The dark eyes under the glasses glanced at her coldly, did not speak to her, and then whistled expressionlessly. Da da' ran over, slowed down after approaching, and finally bowed his head affectionately to his master.

Holding the rein with one hand, he motioned for the horse's back.

"Go up."

Mihai Riho, who had never ridden a horse before, silently looked at the black horse, then at the dark blue-haired youth who was still waiting for him, and said dryly: "I have never ridden a horse before."

Fushimi Saru Hiko resisted the urge to smack his tongue, and the tip of his tongue touched the palate, then he stretched out his right hand to wrap around the girl's waist, stepped on the stirrup, and led her onto the horse neatly.

Yakai Riho stiffened her body and let the other party wrap her in her arms. After walking for a while, she heard him speak suddenly.

"Play your part in this game and don't leave my side."

Yakai Riho: "...Oh."

She knows that she is a weak chicken and is very self-aware.

When they walked out of the forest and entered the city, Yakai Riho couldn't help shaking.

Because everyone within sight has no face, but they all move and speak like a normal human being.

"These are just insignificant npcs, and the people behind the scenes probably don't bother to pinch their faces."

Fushimi Saru Hiroshi's casual voice reached her ears.

This is too perfunctory!

Even if you give a unified template face shape!

Mihai Riho covered her face in pain.

"Remember not to do things that don't fit your role."

After arriving at the palace, Fushimi Saru Hiko took the reins to stop the horse, then got off the horse with her in his arms, and went to see His Majesty the King together.

However, the so-called His Majesty the King is nothing more than a faceless NPC.

That's not the point, the point is the black-haired man standing next to him.

The other party was wearing a white priest's robe, and was holding a staff with a white crystal embedded in the top, with a serious and upright expression on his face.

There is nothing wrong with being serious and upright as a priest, the problem is...

"Dazai!?"

Yakai Riho was startled when she heard her own voice.

"It's really impolite to call the priest by his name."

There was a slight accusation in His Majesty's tone.

[One point will be deducted for behavior that does not conform to the role, and the current total score is 49 points. 】

The system prompt that suddenly sounded in her ears made her shrink her pupils uncontrollably.

"No problem."

Priest Osamu Dazai nodded slightly to His Majesty the King, and then winked quietly at the girl who was still in shock when the other party didn't notice.

"I have brought the princess back, Your Majesty the King."

Mihai Riho, who had calmed down, watched the dark blue-haired young man with a gloomy face open his mouth, revealing a brilliant smile that could be called horrifying.

My heart was suddenly shocked again.

To say it's brilliant is against my will!No matter how you look at it, it is very blunt!

She didn't even notice what was said later, she looked like her cognition had been smashed and reorganized.

It wasn't until the three of them went out that they didn't recover.

After Fushimi Saruhiko left the hall, his face darkened instantly, and he looked at her with gloomy eyes.

"Put that stupid look away, my character is set to be the sunny and cheerful Chief Knight Commander."

When he spoke later, his expression became more gloomy and irritable.

Sunlight?Cheerful?

Yakai Riho felt the deep malice of that clown.

Putting these two words on Fushimi Saru Hiko made her whole body tremble, and she also understood why the other party showed that expression when she said that this role was suitable for him before.

"My character is set to be a serious and upright phobic priest."

Osamu Dazai, without the npc in front of him, also returned to his original appearance, with interest implied in his light voice.

Then he complained: "Although the game looks very interesting, why isn't it an amiable priest, and if you are phobic, you can't get too close to Riho in front of the NPC."

A woman who strikes up a conversation and invites her to die together can directly overwhelm Kunikida Doppo. Is Osamu Dazai phobia?

Is this some kind of bad joke?

Yakai Riho felt a little stomachache.

Fushimi Saru Hiko looked coldly at the black-haired priest who was playing with his staff.

"Under these circumstances, you can still think about those messy things."

"It looks like you've worked hard, the sunny and cheerful Fushimi-kun."

Osamu Dazai curled his lower lip, and emphasized the words 'sunny and cheerful'.

"Playing the setting that disgusts you."

Fushimi Saru Hiko's body has begun to exude a subtle murderous aura.

Mihai Riho: "...are these characters set according to the completely opposite personality of the person?"

Then she began to think about what her role setting would be.

Osamu Dazai seemed to understand what she was thinking and reminded: "The princess of this country is very lively and active, and always likes to sneak out of the castle."

The lively and active Yakai Riho: "... let's do it."

Since Fushimi Saru is so dedicated to role-playing than Koto, it's not bad for her.

"But I didn't expect Riho to participate in this game."

"I didn't play that game, but I bumped into a person on the road today, and then he suddenly turned into a mummy and dropped a ring. I came in out of nowhere in a burst of bright light."

Mihai Riho felt a little aggrieved.

"The ring is the key to the game."

Fushimi Saru Hiko, who thought she was taking the initiative to participate, couldn't help but glanced at her.

But mummy?

"Hmm... In addition to getting the ring certificate by getting to the top level through missions, can you also directly get other people's rings to participate in this game?"

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes thoughtfully. The ring disappeared when he entered the game world. It should be a one-time consumable. So what happened to the mummy?

"By the way, is this a supernatural power? Why are you here, Dazai? Are there other people in this game world besides us?"

"It's a different ability. Mr. Ranpo and I came into this game with great difficulty to investigate this matter."

"I originally planned to let Kunikida or Atsushi-kun come in with Mr. Ranpo, but I was also very interested, so I tried to fake death when the ring was activated, and it really came in smoothly."

Then Osamu Dazai suddenly showed a malicious smile.

"Besides, Bakugo-kun and Slug are also here. Riho, why don't you guess what their character settings are?"

Yakai Riho looked at his smile and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"In order to prevent Riho from being frightened like before and doing things that do not conform to the character's behavior, I'd better prepare you mentally."

Osamu Dazai looked very friendly and kind.

"Mr. Ranpo is now a mature and stable royal librarian, Baohaojun is a polite and modest sick prince from a neighboring country, and that slug is the son of a temperamental duke."

Yakai Riho was in a trance, and she seemed to hear Fushimi Saru Hiko next to him tsk.

"Bad guy."
