I Became a Beautiful Girl, but I’m still an MMO Junkie

Continuation…

‘The shape and appearance are exactly the same.’

‘Could it be that Clan-Klan’s items are based on real-world objects and used as in-game items?’

“Sister Leanne… may I ask the name of this stone?”

“Yes, Jintarou-san. This stone is imbued with the power of the goddess’s mother… ”

As she slowly opened her mouth, she spoke the name of the stone.

“I call it Flash Stone.”

I stared at her proudly as she spoke.

“May the blessing of the goddess be with you.”

“Oh, no… Sister Leanne, this is…”

“What surprises you? It’s just a security device. It may be minor in peaceful Japan, but it’s a standard mineral that believers use for self-defense in areas with poor public safety.”

‘Is there such a thing as a security device like this?’

‘Does Clan-Klan’s stuff exist in reality?’

‘No, that’s a strange way of thinking. As is logical, Clan-Klan is only using existing things.’

As Shizuku-chan explained before, Clan-Klan has a track record of incorporating the faith of the minor religion into the game.

‘Yes, that’s right.’

“Eventually, you too will awaken to the blessings of the goddess.”

‘Blessings?’

Sister, who carried a deep smile with her, turned on her heel and walked away from me.

She was headed towards the chapel…

The chapel under construction was certainly intriguing. While there was an option to go see it with Sister Leanne, I didn’t feel like it now. Besides, if it’s near the tennis court, going outside the school building would attract attention.

If that’s the case, I’d like to refrain for now.

While holding a strange sense of discomfort in my chest, I rolled the Flash Stone that had somehow become familiar in my hand and headed towards my classroom.

Perhaps I wanted to calm down my feelings in various ways.

That’s probably why.

Before I knew it, I was in my familiar classroom of 1-2.

“I should let my sister know I’m here.”

I messaged her, “I’m in my classroom, let me know if anything happens,” and she replied, “We’re in the middle of something right now, so call me later.”

“I’ll be back soon,” I sent the message and put the smartphone back in my uniform.

“Phew…”

I gazed silently at the classroom, feeling grateful that my daily life had not been completely lost.

Here, I could exchange casual conversations with my classmates, play around with Kouya and Yuuki, and admire my beloved Akane-chan from afar, seizing the opportunity to talk to her and experiencing the exhilarating feeling of nervousness. Her bright smile, like a sunflower blooming in this classroom.

Miyanouchi Akane. I had confessed my feelings to her, but the bitterness of the rejection still remains, and yet I still wanted to see her again if possible.

Since my body changed, I had come to realize how precious my daily life at school was. I listened to the faint voices of the students practicing in their club activities, and thought about such things.

“Was it like this back then too…?”

I recalled the time when I was waiting for Akane-chan just before confessing to her.

“A little bit.”

For some reason, I felt like feeling the wind on my face and went out to the balcony.

The summer sun was shining down on me, but thanks to this cool uniform, I didn’t feel the heat and humidity.

Feeling refreshed by the coolness of the garment, I looked out at the view below.

And then closed my eyes.

I listened to the baseball and soccer teams’ shouts, the sound of the whistle signaling the start of the swim team, and the various instruments of the brass band playing their music.

“… If my sister gives me the OK, I’ll join the Church of the Rainbow Goddess, Alco Iris.”

I had come to realize that I had a strong desire to continue being a student here.

“Take it step by step and learn as you go.”

There was still so much I didn’t know.

My own feelings, what would happen from now on, about the church, about my illness, about how to interact with my friends.

In reality, and in the game.

Even the rough stone I was holding in my right hand was like that.

“A flash stone… to think that something like this exists in reality.”

I murmured quietly as I gazed at the rough yellow stone in my hand.

At that moment, I heard a rattling sound behind me and the window opened.

When I turned around hastily, there was a male student there.

In the game, he was a small, blue-haired handsome boy, but in reality, he was Yuji, a chubby guy who loved beautiful girls and had muscular shoulders.

“Your Excellency…?”

Wearing a swimming cap and goggles, water dripping down his cheeks, neck, chest, and protruding stomach. It was unclear whether it was sweat or pool water.

However, one thing can be said for sure.

The person staring at me in their tight-fitting swimsuit was a perverted existence worthy of using the Flash Stone on.

Was it a coincidence that someone I want to use it on has appeared… or is it fate that only the goddess knows?

I averted my gaze from my classmate Yuji.

I pretended to be someone else.

“From the poolside, I saw you on the balcony and rushed over… Is it still Your Excellency, Taru…? Your Excellency.”

However, I couldn’t escape Yuji’s question.

I awkwardly smiled and moved my head up and

down.

“Ahahaha…”

It seems like I’ve messed up.

I didn’t know what to do. There are too many things I still didn’t understand.
