Xingji looked at the girl on the bed who had just been cured by him, with an unhappy look on his face.

He had just been mistaken by this girl for a stuffed panda.

This is really too much.

It was obviously because of you that I was pulled out of bed to work, but you just saw my pajamas?

What you should clearly see is my spirit of going to work even if I can't change my clothes in time, okay?

This is true even if it's a part-time job.

"So? Do you need me to change my image? [PurpleCourage] Purple Courage Lady?"

"how do you know……"

Before Yuuki could be surprised, Xingke took out a huge ruby ​​wand from his pajamas pocket, and with a wave of his hand, the magic of changing clothes with one click was activated.

A burst of light flashed, and the star appeared in the image of [Sepia Starsky] wearing an old brown tung-colored robe and a ruby ​​wand floating in the air.

"Mr. Starry Sky!?

Huh?——This is reality? Are you talking about a game?”

The little girl who has fully recovered can now fully express her surprise without hurting her fragile respiratory tract, so Xingji doesn't mind scaring her anymore.

"Hehehe, reality? Game? Is there any difference?"

The scene of a strange-looking man in brown robes floating in the air, coupled with a slightly distorted voice... this is exactly what a bad guy looks like.

"...Is there no difference?"

"Of course there is a difference."

"Well, it turns out there is a difference..."

"Yes, you see, just like in the game you can kill me casually, but in reality you are just a poor guy lying on the hospital bed...

That’s the difference.”

He even spoke like a bad person... He said very hurtful words as if nothing had happened, and he was still facing a twelve-year-old child.

But I don’t know why, but Xing Ke doesn’t mean to reflect at all.

He wouldn't mind poking a sick little girl in her weak spots and making her cry, but...

"...Hahaha, when you say that, I have no room to refute you, Mr. Starry Sky."

The sickly little girl opposite smiled, although it was a bit bitter, but she looked a little sad at Xingke's excessive remarks.

"After all, this is your reality, but I am different." However, even in this moment, Xingxing will not give up: "There is no difference between my reality and the game. Things that can be done in the game are not the same in my reality.

It can also be done easily. It’s like stopping time or flying in the air..."

"...Well, ah...oh, you are so awesome, Mr. Starry Sky."

Unexpectedly, my showing off and sarcasm would be rewarded with an insincere "praise" from a mere little girl.

Xingke was a little hurt.

"This reaction...you are indeed the little kid I met last night. You make people feel angry every time you speak."

"I'm sorry, I won't let you take revenge for the sword I gave you." Yuuki tilted her head in a funny way: "Although he is an adult, he is surprisingly narrow-minded, Mr. Hoshikora."

"Tch—arrogant brat..."

Seeing that his purpose was exposed and the success rate of revenge was already very low, Xingke decisively gave up and stood on the ground again.

He even found a chair and sat down, saying:

"But having said that, you are really working hard. Have you been accelerating the game since I returned? With my design, it will take at least two years to earn two thousand acceleration points, right?"

"It's a pity that I and my eldest sister only used it for one year, and each of them still earned two thousand acceleration points." He showed a confident smile like "Look, I'm awesome, right?" You said.

Ji regained some of his energy.

"Oh! - This news shocked me. It was twice as fast as the time I designed for the deduction! That's really amazing. You two are indeed the fastest players to reach level two. You are indeed very talented.

!”

Xing Ke must be aware of the game he designed, so this is a compliment from Xing Ke’s heart.

However, looking at the negative side, Xingke still feels that his design has a few traps...

"Haha, it's not that awesome anymore. Compared to this, people are even more surprised by the fact that Mr. Starry Sky is the planner of this game... I still think that I can only thank you in person when I reach level six.

Woolen cloth."

"Oh, that's it. Then you'd better save your thanks until you reach level six. Anyway, you..."

"well?"

Xingke's last voice was so quiet that Yuuki didn't hear it.

"what did you just say?"

"Well, it's nothing. I just want to say that the cure of your illness is all your own fault. You don't need to thank me at all."

"Isn't it all because you gave me such an opportunity, Mr. Starry Sky? I didn't get this game, and I didn't..."

"No, you are wrong."

Speaking of this, Xingke's voice became a little cold:

"You shouldn't thank me.

I didn't design this game specifically to save you, nor did I specifically give you a chance to play the game because I want to save you.

I just designed the game because of my interest, my freedom, and my willfulness, and you were lucky enough to become a gamer.

Apart from you, whether you are a happy baby who acts like a spoiled child in the arms of your parents or a person with a bad character who has no one to teach you, you may have obtained one of the total 10,000 game quotas.

So, you don’t need to thank me..."

Regardless of whether Yuuki understood or not, Xingke still explained his theory completely.

Xingke has always found it strange. Why do many people feel grateful to the boss of the company for getting the salary they deserve? They are being exploited as a tool to make money without even realizing it...

…

"Obviously, the acceleration points used to cure diseases are obtained by killing monsters one by one, right? You have been working hard in that world for more than a year..."

Although Xingke has been emphasizing that he does not need to thank himself, I don’t know whether Xingke did not convey it properly or Yuuki did not understand it properly.

"...Well, I still want to say thank you. This is what I want to say. It has nothing to do with Mr. Xingkong whether you accept it or not."

"...Haha, you little brat, you have such a soft tone."

Since she insisted on thanking herself, there was nothing left to say.

"But is it really okay for you to work so hard? The game can't run away. If you stay like this for a year or two, you might not be able to figure out the difference between reality and the game someday..."

To be honest, Xingji really didn't expect that they would stay in that world for a whole year last night.

You know, the "one year" last night was already one-twelfth of the time this little girl spent in the real world. How did she feel when she made this choice?

"Ha... Well, this is just the beginning. There's nothing we can do about it, right? If I want to cure my sister and I's illness as soon as possible, I have to work harder..."

"stop!--"

"Speaking of this, I remembered the main purpose of my coming here this time."

And Xingji realized that the reason that made her make that choice was a [misunderstanding]...

"Hahaha, lovely little girl, I have some sad news for you!——

You made a mistake from the beginning. A mere [HIV virus] is simply a minor illness, not much different from a cold.

The HIV cure that can be redeemed for one person only requires disease cure with a unit price of 120 acceleration points."

"Ah?! How could it be...it's obviously a terminal illness..."

Sure enough, no matter what, this arrogant little girl is still a little panicked...

"Didn't I just say it? It's a terminal illness [in this era]. If the conditions were different, most terminal diseases would not be a big deal at all."

"well?!------"

Seeing that this child was almost doubting the value of his own existence, Xingji nodded with satisfaction.

"To be honest, I'm speechless. I was sleeping well, and suddenly someone came to your store to buy something at ten times the price. The clerk had to ask the boss to come out and deal with it..."

Xingke waved his hand to express his purpose of coming here.

"Oh, is that why Mr. Starry Sky came here in pajamas?"

"Um-um-that's it, so you have to thank me for my professionalism, you know?"

"Yeah...I know, thank you."

"...Although he is very honest, he still makes people feel very angry."

"Hey hey hey..."

"Don't laugh, I'm not complimenting you."
