Episode 9: MMORPG (Mega-nerdy Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Geeks).

My name is Ryo. I am a being from another dimension, as well as a Humanoid Interface. Recently, I got to this dimension, to seek help for my own. I have met up with Yuki Nagato and the incredibly cute Ryoko. but something about Ryoko reminds me of myself...

A field in the middle of nowhere. In real life, I'm Ryo. Here, I'm Sir Ryu, Knight of the Dark Emperor! I love this game...

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, KNIGHT!"

What ho? A foe? ... no. Just a green-skinned hobgoblin, sitting in a tree... without a girl.

"It is I, Lord Zimaru, the Deathbringer. You are in my Guild's territories. Come quietly, or prepare to meet thy doom."

I responded with, "Make me!"

He responded with a sinister tone, "If you insist..."

Then, he charged at me.

ZIM'S POV

Why do I feel like this is going to-

Then, one of my Guildlings interrupted me, Engineer Furogu.

"My lord! I found a witch nearby! We should burn her!"

"Well... How do you known she is a witch?"

"She looks like one..."

"Bring her forward!"

They bring forward... Yuki in a witch costume?

She said, in her usual monotony, "I am not a true witch."

"... but you are dressed like one."

"He dressed me up like this."

Furogu then denied that, but mentioned something about the hat.

then, two of my other Guildlings showed up, Valtor and Redd Menace.

I then asked, "What makes you think she is a witch?"

Valtor then screamed, "she turned me into a fish!"

"huh?"

"I got better."

Then, Furogu screamed, "Burn her anyway!"

I said to my Guildlings, "There are ways of telling whether she is a witch."

"Really?"

"What do witches do?

"... They burn up, like.... WOOD! THROW HER INTO THE RIVER TO SEE IF SHE FLOATS!"

"NO! There are other things that float. like a duck for example."

"So, if she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood, which witches are made of! To the scales!"

The three run off with Yuki. I... wait, what was I doing again?

... ah, forget it.

I walk away from the area, to see Yuki get burned. I'm gonna enjoy that.

RYO'S POV

... He just left.

Okay...

Well, I'm out of here.

Suddenly, I hear a maniacal laughter. feminine, by the sound. I turn to find it emanating from... RYOKO?!

Meanwhile, YUKI'S POV

... Apparently, I weigh the same as a duck. I am, as they say, doomed. I get tied to the wooden stake... when Haruhi in a regal outfit appears.

She says, "That girl will not be burned!"

The peasants look at her. Then, one of them says, "Burn her anyway! and that other girl's next!"

Haruhi then yells, "Tsuruya! NOW!"

Then, Tsuruya raises her hand and summons a whirlwind, yelling a cry resembling, "NYAAAAA!!!!"

Needless to say, the wind swept the crowd off it's feet.

Then... out of nowhere...

PROGRAM MATRIX CRASH. LOGGING OFF ALL PLAYERS.

I return to the real world, with Ryo and Ryoko. Ryo complains about this new development.

I note this development, and will see if the game will be fixed. I hope so.
