Travel through Kivotos and become Kamen Rider Saber

At some point, Saiwa Momoi returned to the activity room of the game development department, sat next to Alice's left hand, and laughed triumphantly.

"The expected development would be boring, wouldn't it? Actually, you don't need to follow the instructions here, but press any button on the right!"

Cai Yulu turned to look at Cai Yu Taojing and asked doubtfully:

"...Sister? Didn't you say you were going to get a student ID?"

"I went, but it was too late so the staff were all off work. Let's go tomorrow."

"Let's put it aside for now. I'll try to re-examine this part. I still think it's a bit excessive."

While the Caiyu sisters were discussing game design, Alice looked at Lin Qiusheng on her right with a serious face and said:

"Sensei...start again...once again..."

"Opening it again... brought forth feelings that cannot be explained in the text."

"Ah, I should understand how you feel! It must be something like interest or anticipation, right?" Cai Yu Taojing said excitedly, nodding her head up and down.

Lin Qiusheng smiled bitterly, looking at the bewildered Alice in front of him, and complained helplessly:

"Xiao Tao, I think Alice's feelings right now are probably not what you said, but rather the feeling of powerlessness, like punching cotton."

"Click."

Picking up the remote control on the carpet, Lin Qiusheng pressed the top button to restart the game.

After watching the cutscene again, she came to the teaching level where she had just died. Alice controlled the character on the screen according to the prompts below to familiarize herself with the operations.

[Press the B button to equip the weapon.]

【Press the A button to use the magic scroll. 】

[Press the Y key to fly using your mount.]

[Press or continuously press the X key to make the character roll on the ground or in mid-air. ]

"Equip weapons, use items, fly, jump..."

"The rules and concepts have been understood, and further exploration is permitted."

After a few minutes of familiarization, Alice looked at the prompt box with a white background and red font, muttering as if she was reporting on her work.

[Please confirm whether you are fully familiar with the operation. If you are, please press the A button to officially enter the game plot.]

Alice pressed the A button on the controller without thinking. At the same time, the screen in front of Lin Qiusheng suddenly flashed several white lights, and a prompt box appeared in front of everyone.

Caiyu Taojing chuckled "humph" with a smug look on his face, while Caiyu Lu shook his head helplessly and turned his eyes away from the computer screen.

Now that you've learned these keys, let's put them into practice!

【Encountered the enemy——The Demon King!!!】

[Battle begins!?]

"what!?"

Lin Qiusheng opened his mouth in shock as he looked at the short health bar of the character controlled by Alice on the screen, and the black pixel block that suddenly appeared in the forest and whose appearance could not be seen clearly.

The words "×100" are marked behind the dark red blood bar above its head.

Alice, confused, held it in her hands with a serious expression, muttering silently:

“Nervous, excited, and interested!”

"Alice, press the A button. I won't lie to you this time! Use the magic scroll to blast it!" Cai Yu Taojing looked at the TV screen in front of her excitedly, and j bumped her with his body as if to urge Alice.

"I'm about to go, the Demon King of the Moon..."

"Will I win? I will win! ...I don't believe it!"

Lin Qiusheng pursed his lips tightly, veins popped out on his left hand, and he pressed down his right hand as it was about to be raised, suppressing the urge to complain in his heart.

After all, the attack has not yet hit the Demon King, so it is not impossible that if the skill hits it, it will be instantly wiped out.

【Explosion!!!】

"boom!!!"

With the use of the magic scroll, a mushroom cloud rose at the position of the devil, and its health dropped instantly.

[The Demon King is attacked by the magic scroll, HP -1]

[The Demon King launches an attack, throwing a stone that hits the Hero with exceptional effect, reducing the Hero's HP to zero.]

【GAME OVER】

When the black screen symbolizing the character's death once again reflected the faces of Lin Qiusheng and the game development team, he fell into deep thought and slowly said to Cai Yu Taojing and the others:

"Peach."

"Hey? What's wrong? Sensei" Saiwa Taojing still had that smug look on his face and asked back:

"Are you shocked by the start of our game?"

"..."

"Indeed, I was completely blown away by the game's content. I don't know where to start complaining about it."

When Lin Qiusheng looked at the computer screen again, he saw a provocative voice appear below [GAME OVER].

[Demon King: Humph! No matter how much you hone your swordsmanship, it's useless against my attacks! Just let me take you both!]

This is the first time I've seen a game where the character encounters the final BOSS before even leaving the Novice Village.

"Hmm... As expected, it's unnatural for the Demon King to say something like 'humph'."

"...Sister, I don't think the problem is there anymore."

Alice in front of the TV tightly gripped the game controller in her hand, looking like she was about to cry, and her blue eyes became moist.

"Thinking stops, and computer processing can't keep up."

"Well, that... Alice, are you okay?" Cai Yulu looked at Alice who was kneeling in front of the TV with a complicated expression, and asked worriedly.

However, her worries seemed unnecessary.

"..."

"Restart and start again."

"This time, I will try my best to release skills while dodging the Demon King's attacks!"

Facing Alice's unwavering persistence, Saiwa Momoi smiled and echoed:

"That's right, that's it! Never give up, like a challenge, and find the answer through trial and error! This is the romance of nostalgic games!"

"Here, Alice! This is the game's guide! Use it and you can beat any game!"

Millennium Technology Academy: Chapter 63: Alice's Learning

Two hours later, it was already 6:40 in the evening.

Lin Qiusheng hurriedly moved to the activity room of the game development department, carrying the food he had packed from the nearby cafeteria. Looking at the sunset that dyed the sky red, he couldn't help but sigh:

“It always feels like I’m back in college…”

It seemed that Yuka and the others were dealing with matters related to the so-called club competition. The entire area around the Millennium Tower was quiet, with only occasional students passing by.

But it’s better this way. After all, if Yuuka or Noah discovered Alice’s existence, they would have a hard time explaining themselves.

"Squeak!"

"I am back."

Pushing the door open and entering the dark activity room, she saw Alice, Caiyu Momoi, and Caiyu Midori sitting around and chattering with her as they explained the operation.

Hanaoka Yuzu sat on the sofa beside her, playing with the handheld game console in her hand.

Seeing Lin Qiusheng returning to the activity room with bags, he quickly pressed the pause button on the game console, stood up from the sofa, and walked to him.

"Welcome back, sensei. Leave it to me."

"Um, Yuzu, hasn't Alice cleared the game yet?"

Handing the transparent plastic bag containing the lunch box to Hanaoka Yuzu, Lin Qiusheng raised his hand and pressed the switch of the incandescent lamp next to his left hand.

She walked over to Alice carrying a shopping bag with the Angel 24 convenience store logo on it and looked at the three little ones beside her.

Alice looked troubled, with a frown on her face, holding the white handle with a pink cat printed on it in both hands, not knowing what to do.

"...a fatal error occurred in the computer processing system and the meaning expression system."

"Come on! Alice, as long as you get over this, the climax will be worth looking forward to!" Cai Yu Taojing waved his fist as big as a steamed bun to cheer for Alice.

"Whatever I was thinking just now was because you couldn't remember the word herbivore, so you randomly filled in the word vegetative, right?!"

"I'm sorry. I'm a vegetable, so I can't talk to women casually." The moment Alice read this line, she lost consciousness!!!"

From the very beginning of the game, Cai Yulu has been constantly criticizing the person in charge of the game, constantly complaining about various lines and plot arrangements.

For example, Alice used the bow and arrow she found nearby to defeat the demon king at the beginning of the game for half an hour.

As a result, he was killed by the Demon King's basic attack, and Alice, who was controlling the character, lost consciousness instantly.

It was only afterwards that Taoi Caiyu reminded Alice that if she couldn't defeat the Demon King, she could escape from here. After all, they didn't set up a pursuit system for the Demon King, nor did they restrict the venue.

Alice heard Saiwa Momoi's explanation, but before she could finish her words, she fainted again.

"...Question, why is the mother the heroine, but actually the wife of the previous life?"

"And why is there a half-brother who traveled through time and space and was separated from her in childhood, beside that wife..."

"No, the word 'half-brother' isn't even registered in the Kivotos dictionary..."

"An error occurred! An error occurred! An error occurred!"

Along with the sound of reporting pain, a white mist appeared faintly on Alice's head, and she froze in place in a daze.

Sai Yulu, who was beside Alice, tried to cheer her up, holding her arm encouragingly and shaking it gently.

"Come on, Alice! I'm almost there!"

"...Restart, process resumed." After a simple restart, Alice's originally dazed eyes regained some color, as if she had just experienced something major, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... This is the game..."

“…Open it again!”

"Stop! Alice, let's eat first! We can play games after eating!" Lin Qiusheng imitated Hayase Yuka with his hands on his hips and said seriously.

"...Eat? Understandably, it's a way to replenish HP and skill bars."

"Permission granted."

Hearing Alice say this, Cai Yu Momoi and Cai Yu Midori quickly pushed the game discs, handheld game consoles, and mineral water bottles on the carpet aside.

A folding table that could accommodate four people was placed in front of everyone, and Hanaoka Yuzu placed five identical servings of beef bowl rice on the table.

"Alice, is it okay for you to eat this food? Or, do you want to eat this?"

Lin Qiusheng raised his eyebrows in confusion, took out a handful of batteries from the Angel 24 convenience store shopping bag in his hand and placed them in front of Alice.

"Wow..." Alice was stunned at first when she saw the batteries of various models, then she made a tearful expression and said aggrievedly:

"sen...sensei, Alice doesn't eat batteries!"

"I see. Then I'll leave these batteries for you to use as backup power for remote controls and other things."

As he spoke, Lin Qiusheng handed the shopping bag in his hand to Hanaoka Yuzu beside him, and then he thought about the next question.

Is that where he sits?

After all, this folding table can only accommodate four people at most.

"Then I'll go to the sofa over there..."

"Sensei, come here."

Seeing Lin Qiusheng standing there in a daze, Cai Yulu smiled slightly, moved to Hanaoka Yuzu on his right, and gently patted the carpet beside her.

"No, I'd rather eat on the sofa."

But in the end, before he could stand up, Cai Yulu took the beef rice bowl belonging to Lin Qiusheng and placed it next to his left hand.

"Hurry up and come on, let's continue playing games after dinner!"
