“… When is the next time you go to pick up your items?”

“My, tomorrow.”

okay?

“We will join you then.”

“Yes? But, he told me to come alone… .”

He said that, but when he saw our mood, he quickly changed his words.

“Yes, yes! Oh, oh, I understand! ”

good.

I will definitely hit you in the face…!

***

“But it’s definitely strange.”

“That’s right. I’ve never heard of such magic… .”

“Um… .”

To sum up his story, he says that in the end, people don’t even know who he is and don’t remember his face when they see it.

As if it were impossible to perceive existence itself.

But it’s not like I can’t do it at all… um…

It’s kind of ambiguous.

It would be easier to think of it as a kind of magic that simply makes it impossible to perceive.

When I told them this story, they all looked at me with curious eyes.

“… Why doesn’t this sound right?”

“Is that right?”

No, why does everyone think I’m an idiot?

I really don’t understand…!

“Everyone, aren’t you ignoring Asia-san too much!”

Right?

“Ms. Asia is also a person who can think!”

“… Serena?”

“I will apologize on your behalf.”

Aren’t you trying to turn me around?

Her expression was too pure to be called that.

“… Yeah.”

I think I need to work a little harder on improving my perception of myself in the future.

So we met the merchant the next day and went to the trading place.

If you hadn’t come, I would have caught you again and shown you some horrifying 21st century torture, but I don’t think it’s necessary to unseal you just yet.

“Hey, hey, here it is… .”

“Hmm… .”

The place he guided me to was home.

An ordinary family home.

Since the other person is already here, maybe the guy just lives here?

They’re probably using something like cognitive manipulation, so even if you live here normally, no one would know.

The question is, will we ever be able to hear from him?

Even if you forcefully subdue them, would you really be able to do it?

For example, what if he runs out into the street?

You probably can’t tell him apart.

“… We must make sure that no one ever gets out.”

good.

First of all, let’s make sure they never leave the house.

I made a quick plan with them and then ran into the house at the signal.

“Don’t move! Hands up! Move or I’ll shoot!”

“What does that mean?”

“I don’t know.”

I wanted to say this without realizing it.

“… You’re here.”

And then we came face to face with the man who had been waiting at the table, having already lined up.

Hmm… It looks ordinary… No, what is this?

“Huh…? Why can’t I see it when I’m looking at it?”

“Yes, if you are an outsider, maybe…!”

He said, jumping up from his seat.

“Can you see my face?”

There was something strange about his face.

No, it’s not that it looks particularly strange, but it’s hard to put a finger on it.

Yeah, I’m sure the face is fine, but I can’t recognize it.

“I can see it, but um… that’s… .”

“Ugh… As expected… .”

He sank to the floor again with a depressed look on his face.

what?

He looked like a very troubled man.

Wasn’t he just a bad guy?

“Excuse me… Could you tell me what happened and why?”

“… I’m going to forget it anyway.”

“Yes?”

He said with a self-deprecating laugh as I blinked.

“Even if I tell you, everyone immediately forgets. It’s like they never heard it in the first place.”

huh?

There was something strange about what he said.

Even if you hear it, you forget it…?

Is that the kind of concept of restraint that often appears in comics and such?

Information that is not permitted to the people of this world… something like that?

Hey? Is this a hint about the secrets of the world?

“I, I might not forget… !”

“… No, I guess not. I decided not to expect any more.”

As he said this, he climbed onto the chair and squatted down.

Judging from the fact that the posture looks very familiar, it seems like he has a lot of hikikomori tendencies… No, this is not the time to think about such things.

“No! Let me hear it! I can do it!”

“… Really?”

Yeah, I’m not from this world!

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but we won’t forget.”

“Ma, that’s right. If you talk about it, you’ll feel better.”

They nodded in agreement with the situation.

If I’m right, they’ll probably forget… .

“… Okay. Then I’ll trust you and talk to you one last time.”

“Huh?”

What defense?

And Gahorani, what Gahorani?

“… I’m forgotten.”

But before I could think about it any further, his story began.

“You forgot?”

“The world has forgotten me.”

“Huh… ?”

As she listened to his rambling story, Asia’s subcultural brain, trained through countless comics and novels, began to spin.

I’m used to this kind of bait.

And the conclusion I came to is…!

“It’s missing.”

“Huh?”

Yeah, this guy is… an NPC that was accidentally deleted!

“Game… No, um… In this world, you are some kind of dummy data that hasn’t been completely erased… !”

If my guess is correct, he was originally an NPC that was supposed to be in the game, but for some unknown reason, he was eventually deleted.

But something went wrong, and the data ended up in the game… .

Because of that, he became an NPC who should not exist in the setting but exists.

“You… Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Unlike them who looked bewildered, I completely understood.

“Of course. I’m the famous detective Asia.”

“Ugh… !”

He shed tears of emotion.

For the first time, someone has discovered his true identity!

“Uh… Hmm… ?”

“Hmm… ?”

They just tilted their heads.

Is it because this world is a game?

They seem unable to accept this fact.

“Well, that’s a normal reaction… .”

“I’m a little different… .”

Yeah, I can vaguely guess why.

It must be because of this guardian angel called ‘Player’.

Oh my god, this was bait!

It can be this dense…!

A star went up in my heart.

“Then…! Do you know a way to fix me?”

“Uh… That’s… .”

This setting may have already been deleted… .

I can’t bring it back… .

Then his expression darkened rapidly.

“Okay, okay, wait a minute! There might be a, there might be a way!”

Ugh… It’s too pitiful to just leave it alone.

But how do you revive dummy data?

It’s not like I can interfere with the game data, the most I can do is update the data… .

“Oops.”

“Ho, do you have any good ideas…!”

No, but this is a bit… .

“Father, please! I, I don’t like this kind of life either! Even though my existence is blurry, somehow I feel like life has to be ordinary! There’s no other way to make money than selling semen that has a similar transparent effect!”

“That’s, um… .”

Ugh… The problem is, I’m not sure if this is the right method.

“Whew… Got it.”

But I can’t just let it pass.

I sighed and said to him,

“Make me do something weird.”

“… What?”

“Not something ordinary… something incredibly strange.”

Yeah, that’s weird.

To be exact… something that would be recorded in the abnormal behavior proficiency!

“What are you talking about?”

My thoughts are as follows.

In my view, he is an entity outside of the game data, but at the same time, he is an NPC within the game.

Since they are NPCs with only settings remaining, they cannot exist in the game, but that does not mean they can do anything that deviates from the settings.

He was probably just an ordinary villager, so he couldn’t do anything outside of what ordinary villagers do.

But what if he leaves behind an event here that is unique enough to be recorded in his paranormal activity proficiency?

Maybe… he might have new settings added to record the corresponding event!

Isn’t it?

Or else!

“Hmm… ?”

“Well, I don’t know because it sounds like nonsense to me, but anyway, I’m just wondering.”

When I looked at them, they were just blankly staring.

… I guess I’ll have to send it back first.

So I was left alone with him.

***

“Abnormal behavior… Hmm… How about something like this?”

“What is it?”

He had become polite before he knew it and answered hesitantly.

It seemed like they looked at me with respect because I was the one suggesting the solution.

Yeah, well… respect is good.

“That’s… On days when my condition is a bit worse, sometimes I can just walk through walls.”

“Yes.”

Aha, so it’s a wall-penetrating bug or something.

“But sometimes, if you just get stuck in there… .”

“Wall stuck? I’ve already done that.”

But he shook his head.

“If the condition improves while it is still attached, then… it separates.”

“… Yes?”

What… is separated?

“My body is split in half… Ah! It doesn’t hurt, but it will be reattached later.”

“… … .”

I have a bad feeling about something.

“Maybe it would be possible if you ingest too much of my semen… .”

Me, my body is split in half?

“I really don’t feel any pain at all…! Just put it back on and it will stick on its own.”

“Are you crazy?”

You want me to do that?

I thought so, but after ten minutes, I opened my mouth because I couldn’t find any other alternative.

“Aaang.”

Knock knock knock!

“Ugh… I’m gonna, I’m gonna buy it!”

“Paris, huh… .”

At my words to hurry up, he increased his speed and finally ejaculated in my mouth.

“Wow!”

Brrr!

“Ugh… Ugh… Keuhuk… Keheuk… .”

I swallowed so much semen that it felt a bit excessive.

…Is this good enough?

“Ah, I guess it’ll be okay… .”

“Sigh… .”

In life, we all do things like this.

“I think you can fit in there.”

I walked towards the wall with a gloomy feeling.
