The World Kayaba Only Knows
Chapter 4
Notes: Hope your enjoying so far!
"KAMI-NII-SAMAAAA!"
'Impossible. How? Elsie doesn't have Sword Art Online. Not even a NerveGear. Every one of the ten-thousand copy's were sold out in seconds. There is no way she could have gotten a NerveGear and the game once news spread that everybody here was trapped.' Keima thought turning his head around to see Elsie and surprisingly Haqua.
"Kami-Nii-Sama! Your okay! Hurray!" She yelled as she jumped on Keima, knocking him over.
"Get off me you bug demon." He said as he got up."What are you two even doing here? You shouldn't even have this game."
Haqua replied,"I was informed of this incident by the higher-ups in hell. We have been ordered to dive into the game if our buddy is trapped. The reason is that loose souls are still within some of the girl's hearts who have dived. However we can't pry the loose soul out from the outside obviously, because there consciousness is in the game. To make it clear, demons and their buddy's have to continue to pry and capture loose souls within the game."
"Hold on, how would you capture the loose souls if there physically in the real world?"
Haqua pointed to the Loose Soul tracker. "We can still communicate with the outside and will have others out there to capture it."
"How did you get here? All the copy's were sold out."
"Hell has it's ways."
"Wait! So why can't hell just get us out?!"
"We could, but we can't. They could free us, but they thought it would be risky as people would question why some people could get out, but not others. And we can't just alter a huge mass of people's memories. It would cause problems, as well as hell's energy shortage, however hell was able to hack in our trackers...barely, but nothing else."
"Okay, I get the situation, but one more are you here Haqua? Wheres your buddy, Yuuki?"
At that point, Elsie turned and gave Haqua a confused look.
"Ah...ahhh...ummm, I just um...wanted to check on Elsie, make sure she doesn't ummm...get lost." Haqua said blushing. "Its not like I was here to make sure you were okay or anything!"
"Okay, whatever. You two know what to do here right? It's different from the real world." Keima said already knowing Haqua's Tsundre personality.
"Not...not really."
"Please help us Kami-Nii-Sama!"
"Okay, lets head back to town, you two are going to need weapons and some basic armor. Then we have to learn this sword skill concept. Follow me."
On the way to town, Elsie and Haqua followed Keima.
"Hey, Elsie." Haqua whispered. "Isn't it strange? Katsuragi is in a better mood than usual."
"Kami-Nii-Sama is always in a better mood when he's playing a game." She smiled.
When the three of them arrived at the shopping district, Keima said that the two of them should have 1,000 Col to start out with.
"First you should by a weapon, then some basic armor, then a potion or two, and with whatever is left, you can use on whatever."
For weapons, Haqua chose a scythe obviously as she always carried around that large scythe of testament around. Elsie couldn't decide straight away. In the real world, she carried a broom around, and brooms aren't considered weapons. So after some time, she chose a war axe. Elsie said it looked like a fire fighter axe. For armor, they both chose some light armor on the chest and shoulders.
Elsie and Haqua had about 275 Col left over. So Elsie also bought a scrunchie to tie back her stunning loose hair and then Keima noticed it was getting late.
"We should rent rooms for the night and train tomorrow."
They arrived at a renting room, one for Keima and one for Elsie and Haqua.
Later when falling asleep, Haqua said,"This world is so different and dangerous. If we die here we die in real life. That means my death in the game will be the death of my real self...and Yuuki. I was so stupid to jump in this game without thinking of the consequences. I can't imagine poor Yuuki if she dies because of me."
A half asleep Elsie replied, "It's okay Haqua, I know you wanted to protect me." Elsie said knowing Haqua's real intention. "Yuuki won't die. Neither will you or me. I promise you. As long as we stay with Kami-Nii-Sama, we will be fine. He is a god at every game, as long as there's one 2-D girl to conquer. He will protect us, which is what any god would do."
Haqua was impressed by that speech Elsie gave. Haqua then said, "I think he can do anything, as long as he sets his mind to it."
Elsie had apparently fallen asleep right after her speech. Haqua watched her soft breathing and said, "Good night Elsie."
Haqua then went to sleep as well.
In the next room over however...
"Arghhh! I wish I had my PFP to play!" Keima complained.
Notes: Yes, I LOVE when Elsie has her hair loose! It was pretty difficult choosing Elsie's weapon as it's hard to see her even hurt a fly. I finally found out axe's were used by firefighters to get through wooden houses where the fire may have created obstacles. Elsie's hilarious obsession for fire trucks made it an obvious choice afterwards. Hope you like the chapter! R&R!
