<h4>Chapter Side Story 1 The day when the daily life ended</h4>


    That day, it was just an ordinary day.


    I go to school, eat with my friends, attend the sses, y games once I go back home, eat, bath and then sleep.


    It should have been such an ordinary day.


    On that day, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and went to school.


    It''s all because I yed online game tillte night yesterday.


    Luckily, I was able to join the same party with Bald-san and I yed throughout the night.


    The Bald-san who I mentioned just now is a famous yer in the online game that I y.


    Just as the name, a person who uses a bald-headed rough old man as avatar, a free yer who throw away romance and controlling such an amazing character with skillful technique in the front lines…


    Due to the fact that he doesn''t even chat, many yers were attracted to him.


    It''s inevitable that I was feeling excited because I can y with the famous Bald-san.


    Upon reaching the school, I suppress my yawn and enter my ssroom.


    「 Morning 」


    「 Good morning 」


    「 Ossu…What''s wrong? You look sleepy 」


    I greet my friends who are Sasajima Kyouya and Ooshima Kanata.


    Both of them yed the same online game as me, this is what the so-called gamerades.


    「 Ou, listen and get surprised. Yesterday, I formed a party with Bald-san 」


    「 Seriously!? 」


    「 Ou, seriously. We almostplete the quest thanks to him. 」


    「 Uwaa. Seriously. Is it that? The one that I leave after that. 」


    I yed with Kanata till around midway.


    But, he logged out because it''s alreadyte in the night.


    「 Dammit. If so, I should have persevere for a little more! 」


    Kanata seemed to be really frustrating.


    But if Kanata didn''t leave the party, I won''t be able to y with Bald-san.


    「 How was it, looking closely at Bald-san? 」


    Asked by Kyouya, I recalled the gant figure of Bald-san.


    「 That is not a human. Avoiding the Besbel Witch''s magic while advancing. Can you believe it? 」


    Besbel Witch is a boss in a high leveled dungeon and this fellow is rather harsh.


    In the inte it was called 「Another Game」「Barrage」 due to its outrageous amount of magic attack that it can fire in rapid session.


    This boss''s troublesome point was there''s no end in its magic.


    There''s no opportunity to attack and if you leave alone, it will keep on firing magic.


    Normally, you would raise magic defense then attack with the resolution to die together, or using shields for the ones at the back and keep on firing magic on it.


    But that Bald-san, he charged straight from the front, avoiding every magic fired and jumped towards its bosom and cut it down.


    That was surprising.


    I opened my mouth wide looking at the game screen.


    「 As expected from Bald-san. Looks like his other name, Idaten is not just for a show. 」


    「 No, there''s no way anyone can move that fast without some skills. In the end, it requires skills to perform such movement. 」


    Kanata said that while beating his own arm.


    Certainly, even with the same status and equipment, I don''t think I can do the same thing as Bald-san.


    「 Ah. I want to get better 」


    「 Want to level after school ends? 」


    「 Sure 」


    「 I also agree. Let''s train at somewhere harder! 」


    The chime rang after we settled our talk.


    We separated and sat on our own seat.


    Without knowing that the promise will not be fulfilled.


    「 Huh? 」


    I started prepare for the ss after I sat and I noticed that my pencil case was not in the bag.


    Come to think of it, I recalled that I used it to summarize the information of the game in a notebook.


    I probably forgotten to put it inside the bag.


    「 Uh oh 」


    「 What''s wrong? 」


    The person who reacted was Hasebe Yuika, the girl who sit next to me.


    「 I forgot to bring my pencil case 」


    「 Aryarya. It can''t be helped. I will lend mine to you 」


    Hasebe says so and hands a mechanical pencil and an eraser.


    「 Sorry 」


    「 Umu. I will have you buy me a sweet 」


    「 So it''s not free 」


    I ept it while smiling wryly and waving my hand.


    Likewise, not knowing that this was another promise that cannot be fulfilled.


    And then, that time came.


    It was during the Japanese Language ss.


    I was sleepy.


    I was fighting against the intense sleepiness.


    In front, standing on the tform was a small-sized teacher called by a nickname, Oka-chan who was reading aloud the kanji from the textbook.


    Most of the students are dropping their line of vision to the textbook on the desk.


    I shake of my drowsiness desperately and I unintentionally raised my head up.


    In front of my eyes was a figure of a female student sitting at the front-left seat.


    It was the person called Rihoko.


    It''s not her real name.


    Real Horror Child. Rihoko for short.


    She''s an eerie woman who''s very thin with a pale face and always have a gloomy expression.


    I don''t want to speak ill of such a person that much, but an ipatible sense did it by all means even if I understand it.


    Rihoko dozed off boldly as if she is ridiculing me, who fought against drowsiness.


    While feeling unpleasant, I remove my eyesight from her.


    There, It…was there.


    It was a crack.


    I am probably the only one who noticed it in this ssroom.


    Exactly on the middle of the ssroom, above, a crack appeared where there should be nothing there.


    There was no other words to describe it except a crack.


    Moreover, the size gradually increased.


    The crack looks like it was going to break at any moment.


    Even if I saw it, I couldn''t do anything as I looked at it dumbfounded.


    The result probably would not change even if I did something…


    The crack broke grandly.


    At the same time, I felt a terrible pain.


    And I, we died.
