"Well, Fine, I'm that kind of person," Emiya Shirou rolled his eyes and said angrily, "But even so, there's no need for me to encounter such inexplicable things! If it's just a game that you want me to play, then I'll just play it."
[Speculation: The "inexplicable things" mentioned by the players refer to the phenomenon of soul from other world that happened appeared in this body. Is this conjecture correct?]
The assistant said flatly.
"Huh? The phenomenon of soul from another world?" Emiya Shirou was taken aback for a moment. The word "souls" was not unfamiliar to him. Then he recalled everything he encountered when he woke up and suddenly felt that the assistant's description was accurate, so he nodded following the other party's words, "Yes, besides this, isn't the only inexplicable thing left your strange game?"
[The phenomenon of traveling to another world has nothing to do with this simulation game. The simulation game will not take the initiative to transfer the player's soul and body between different worlds without the player's consent. Please check the safety of each body part by yourself.]
"Eh?" Emiya Shirou made a startled voice, "You didn't make me suddenly come to Nagazora City...?"
[That's right.]
Emiya Shirou immediately sensed something was wrong, "But you didn't ask for my opinion when you dragged me into this pure white space?"
[Negative, first, this private room is not a different world. It is an independent space originally belonging to the player; second, entering the game requires actively sinking the consciousness into the depths of the heart and entering a state of deep sleep, which is the active choice of the player, not a behavior dominated by the simulation game.]
"Are you kidding me? What kind of crooked reasoning is this?" Emiya Shirou was dumbfounded, and his voice was obviously angry, "Let's not say that my loss of consciousness was purely an accident. No one in this world doesn't need to sleep, man!"
[After receiving feedback from players, if players do not need to enter this private room after falling asleep, they can actively turn off this function in the settings.]
The assistant replied indifferently, like a customer service representative using formulaic speech to deal with players. This inhumane but impeccable response made Shirou Emiya feel as if he had punched Cotton.
Although it was still hard to accept deep down in his heart, and he was even a little upset, Emiya Shirou was not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person. Since the assistant lady provided a solution to the problem, he didn't have to continue to worry about such insignificant things. So Emiya Shirou naturally changed the topic,
"Can you let me go back to Fuyuki City?" will It cost money to use these props?"
[Players can freely use the props in the warehouse, but needs to purchased the rest with points.]
"What are points?"
[Points are the common currency of the game mall, and players can obtain points through simulated rewards.]
Emiya Shirou supported his forehead, feeling a little headache, "So you just want me to play this inexplicable game? This so-called mother simulator?"
[According to our detailed analysis of the player's personality, even if there is no benefit, there is a 100% possibility that the player will actively choose to join the game.]
Emiya Shirou couldn't help laughing, "So confident? What if I refuse to participate in the game?"
[If the player has no intention to join the game, the player can choose to quit the game at any time.]
The voice of the assistant lady remained emotionless, and then, the picture displayed on the virtual panel suspended in mid-air suddenly changed.
As the quiet music sounded, the words that had played on one side a few minutes ago flowed from bottom to top.
However, when Emiya Shirou saw a few sentences in the game introduction, his heart still twitched slightly.
...
"However, there will always be regrets in this imperfect world."
"The seats of happiness are limited."
...
After the text description disappeared and the virtual panel became the title interface for entering the game again, a sci-fi style window suddenly appeared.
[Confirm to exit the game.]
[Yes/No]
"... Tsk."
He clicked his tongue.
Damn it...
Emiya Shirou really wanted to press the "Yes" button without hesitation, but once he recalled the words that flowed through the opening animation, the feeling of not wanting to admit defeat entrenched in his chest made him feel helpless no matter what. He couldn't bring himself to press the button.
"Wait, isn't it just a fake game, how can you say such sarcastic remarks in a flat manner?"
Pretending to have a confident look--
Convincing himself ruthlessly deep in his heart, Emiya Shirou forced his wrist to move in the direction of the window.
[Correction, although this work is a game, it is not a virtual game. The scenarios simulated in this work are all realities that actually happened in different worlds.]
His thoughts were interrupted.
"Huh?"
After making such a stupid sound, Emiya Shirou tilted his head, stared blankly at the virtual panel in mid-air, and then retracted his hand in the next second as if getting an electric shock.
Just now, what did this guy say?
"Wait, wait, isn't this thing just a game?!"
[Games and reality are not conflicting concepts.]
The assistant was concise and to the point.
[Of course, in order to protect the privacy and personal rights of players, when the simulation game is in progress, the world simulated by the player will not be selected as the world the player is currently in. Please feel free to play without worry.]
"What—"
Emiya Shirou's eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, and his voice also revealed obvious anger.
"...Because of this ridiculous reason, do you people treat other people's lives like a game and play with them at will?!"
However...
[Even without the simulation of this work, the reality that is supposed to happen will not change. The purpose of this work is to allow players who are qualified to become mothers to experience the life of being a mother. At the same time, it is also hoped that those who do not have a mother's love can get help from others.]
The cold voice of the assistant lady, like pouring cold water, quenched Emiya Shirou's anger.
Although emotionally, it is still somewhat unacceptable to treat other people's lives as a game, Emiya Shirou also has to admit that if the other party did not lie to him, then this so-called "Mother Simulator" is indeed for people who have lost something in their lives to find another way to get it back.
That is, like his ideal, he hopes that others can be happy.
Emiya Shirou couldn't help but stare at the virtual panel. However, he didn't know that because he realized that he was completely seen through, his eyes completely lost their previous sharpness. Instead, there was resentment as if he was being teased.
He pressed the "No" button in the game exit window, and then quickly touched the "Tap to open" on the title screen.
Emiya Shirou has never been the kind of person who procrastinates. Now that he has made up his mind, he naturally no longer hesitates about joining the simulation game.
With the flickering of the screen, the original title of the game turned into a crystal flower with beautiful characters flowing from bottom to top.
[One day, she fell from the Heaven,
As people gazed upon the starry expanse,
Sky's gift, God's daughter, appeared,
Alone, her heart in a trance.]
[The gentle breeze transformed into her chariot's reign,
And the vast oceans became her splendid domain.
Birds carried seeds of kindness, love's sweet refrain,
As flowers wove carols, a harmonious chain.]
[Thus she grew amongst humans, her life interlaced, with every step, a connection she would trace.]
[Simulation object: .]
[Simulation Difficulty: Low.]
[Simulation requirements: Let the simulated subjects experience a stable and happy childhood life.]
[Simulation period: Ten years (tentative), the fixed simulation period can be automatically extended according to the satisfaction of the simulation object.]
[The first simulation is about to start, and the perspective is about to change. Please get ready.]
"Oh?" Emiya Shirou was stunned when he saw the rapidly flashing text. "Wait—"
Then, his eyes went dark.
