Prologue: Defense Specialized and Before that

「U〜n……I haven't played a lot of games though〜」

While looking at the game package that her friend Shiromine Risa pushed onto her, Honjou Kaede lets out a sigh.

「Risa is always leading me by the nose……」

It can be seen that men and women holding swords and staffs were drawn on the package of New World Online, which was also written with colorful letters.

It was the VRMMO, a kind of game genre, that has rapid increase on sales recently, and Kaede has the hardware to move this, although it was covered with dust.

And that hardware also, she was invited by Risa, and it was something she bought during that time.

「Ha〜……it's not like I can refuse her, right……」

A memo, on Kaede's hand. This was given to her by Risa, and it was written there what to do to start the game.

「If I see those *KiraKira* eyes…I can't say that it's impossible…」

Risa had already believed that Kaede would start without doubts. Kaede who thought that not starting would be a shame, couldn't do anything about it.

「It can't be helped…! Configuration, I should start huh」

She swept off the dust, and plugged the hardware.

It's not like she hated games.

Playing with her a bit, is just fine.

She thought of that, and Kaede started the first configuration.
