[Comprehensive] Late Night Radio

"What are you talking about!? Cough, cough——"

I just swallowed a mouthful of water, and I was choked up when I heard his words.He patted me on the back, handed me a tissue, and continued.

"The VR game you mentioned, neither Sasuke nor anyone else, has ever been involved in this kind of thing."

"How is it possible! Putting aside the game's workmanship and the like, it would be impossible to complete the character without your assistance!?"

"Ah..." He frowned, "Of course."

"Then how do you explain it!?" I wiped my mouth and didn't bother to tidy up the table.Fortunately, I didn't spray it on the things I brought back from my hometown, otherwise I really want to start my life again.

"...If you want to consider it, there are still several possibilities."

"What do you think."

"The first type is probably because professionals have observed these people, and thus figured out each person's personality."

"But... even if you want to use Uchiha Sasuke to increase the popularity of the game, it doesn't have to be like this?"

"Well, so that can be ruled out."

"...Then, is there any possibility left?"

"Although I don't want to believe it, there is still a possibility. Do you know what games the people who participated in the competition with you played?"

"Ah, I have inquired about this. A pair of them went to take some kind of hunter test, and someone went to clear the maze... Well, if I remember correctly, there is another one. Although I don't know what it is, it is said that it is 'despair' A story intertwined with hope'."

"That is to say, everyone has played different content, right?" He rested his chin in thought, with a serious expression on his face. I've never seen him like this before.

"It seems to be the case... At least the content I have inquired about is different. It is said that the content of the game is random."

"What about the game itself?"

"A machine like an eggshell, the kind that wraps a person in its entirety... It is said that there is no game body that is announced outside. If you think about it, there are still many strange things..."

"for example?"

"It's obviously a VR game, but I can't call up the game menu, and I don't know the main storyline and missions of the game. Leaving aside the things I know, there are also things that are very interesting... For example, the protagonist, ah, is me In his notebook, there are things like 'the authenticity of the world' and 'the truth of the event'... If I remember correctly, there are a few strings of numbers."

"What kind of number." He was like a detective, constantly looking for clues in my words.

"Uh... there is a digit before the decimal point, and how many digits are there after the decimal point, right? Sorry, I really can't remember this."

"...The rate of change of the world line." After hearing my description, he was a little shocked, and his pupils constricted slightly at that moment.

"That... what?" Compared to him, I looked like an idiot.

"...Do you know the theory of parallel worlds?"

"Does it mean that because of the different choices made in each matter, it will lead to differences in results, and thus the theory that different worlds will be born?"

"Ah. The rate of change of the world line is a theory proposed by Rintaro Okabe. Simply put, each parallel world is called a different world line, and this string of numbers is the name of the world."

"...Wait a minute, let me sort it out." I patted my head, oops...what if IQ can't keep up with the thinking of the person I like, hurry up, wait online!Well, this is not the time to talk about it...!

"It's okay, let's take our time."

"That is to say, if our world is the 1.267564 world line, the numbers of other parallel worlds will change accordingly. And this string of numbers is the code name of different parallel worlds?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"But..." I was a little nervous and swallowed, "Does this have anything to do with what's going on now?"

"Although it's just my conjecture... If you can't get the answer from this point of the game, you might as well overturn this point and reconsider." He picked up the pen, bent down, and began to list them one by one on the blank paper, "Because others told This is a pure 'game' for you, so generally speaking, you will think that this is just a pure game."

"...That is to say, we may have all been deceived in the first place?"

"Ah, it is possible that this mechanism was not a game body from the very beginning."

His tone didn't have the slightest ups and downs, he was just stating the fact.

...I seem to have guessed what he was going to say next.

But I'm not sure, and I don't want to believe it.

The theory of "parallel worlds" has only been seen in games or animations at best.

In this world, is there really such a thing...

For us, the "world" is obviously the only one that is right.

"I..." I took a deep breath and began to recall what happened in the game, "That game is really very strange."

For example, in that notebook, in addition to the above content, I also wrote my name and the pronunciation of my name (and I also took apart REI and wrote it down, as if I was analyzing something).

For example, I became an idol in that world, and Sasuke and I were childhood sweethearts.I always like to laugh at the thing Sasuke said when he was a child, "If you don't become an idol when you get here, I will become an idol".

...I said that it would be fine if this is the case in reality.

Sasuke said that this is obviously reality.

So, what does he mean?It's reality for him, but it's not necessarily true for me—

After that, I picked up a cat in the game. The old lady said that she met someone very similar to me many years ago.Sasuke and Chara were very strange about my cat and kept telling me not to cry.

Do not……

At that time, did they really say that simply because of this incident?still……

What was the story that the old lady wanted to tell?It may also be the words of the old grandma, and they may tell me not to cry.

In fact, the strangest thing is not these things.

On the second floor of "my" room, there are large and small clipping papers.

It's all about "that thing".

...Yes, if you want to say that the most strange thing in the whole game is this matter.

Knowing that this was unreasonable, I forced myself to forget it, pretending I didn’t see anything, and slept on the sofa all night.If you want to say, sleeping in the game is also very unscientific...

Well, let's talk about "that thing".

It's news, all reports of the same thing.

The incident of "a man died strangely at home with a cat"——

How is it possible, it is clearly just a game world, but it is exactly the same as what actually happened in my house.

I……

I told him about these things one by one.

Then, I couldn't speak anymore.

Throat feels like burning.

Trembling all over, as helpless as if abandoned by the world.

At that time, all I wanted to forget about it was to fear that I would become like this.

The possibility of things actually appeared in my mind, but before those clouds cleared, I chose not to think about these things on my own.

...I'm afraid to know the truth.

that is it.

"Zero, it's okay. I'm here."

He said so.

He always likes to say that.

Whenever I'm afraid, when I'm trembling, that's what he says.

"Hmm..." I squeezed out the syllable and responded in a low voice.

It's amazing how his words always give me strength.

"From the past, I feel like we've met somewhere before." He quickly recorded the current clues on the paper, whispering softly.

"Actually, I also feel this way..." I took off my slippers and curled up on the sofa, "A few days ago, there was such a listener who came to the line. I don't know if you have listened to that program, let me tell you something .”

"Okay, tell me, I'll listen."

"She said that she lived with her uncle and aunt, and a girl she didn't know passed out at the same time on the subway a few days ago and was admitted to the same hospital, so they became friends."

"I remember, there is indeed such a story."

"She said she found a dilapidated doll at home, with a slip of paper stuck in the place where the doll was unthreaded. The note said—"

"I like you the most, brother stay." He took my words away.

"Well... She explained that she doesn't have a brother, but the tears just can't stop..."

"..." He fell silent.

"..." I didn't know what to say anymore.

That child's voice always feels like I have heard it somewhere.

So, did the possibility he thought of go with me?

Although that is just a guess, but...

The air was so dull.

After a while, he finally spoke——

"zero."

"Ok?"

"Call your mother and see?"

"Hey...why all of a sudden?"

"If you want to find out about your father, this is the easiest way, isn't it?"

"It's true to say that, but what should I ask... I can't tell her that I found out that my boss looks exactly like my father, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't talk about these topics, let's chat casually."

"Well... But, my mother's attitude has been a bit strange since before. She said that she would call every day, but she stopped doing it that day... I don't know what she was thinking. Well, it's good that mom is fine. .”

I complained, found my mother's number from the address book, and dialed it.

"Although she may not be able to answer, after all..." My mother's voice came from the receiver before I finished my words.

"Why are you calling me at this time!? I almost got FULLBO, you know!?"

"...It's just a phone call, Mom, don't you need to be so angry?"

……

……

……

"Wait, mom, what are you talking about!? You will be FULLBO soon!?"

The author has something to say: What FULLBO said is: For example, if you are playing an audio game like LL
