“I am terribly sorry, we’ve already done all we can…”

“What a load of crap! Just get out!”

“Young miss, please calm down…”

“You too, all of you, just leave! I don’t want to see any of you!”

………

“I definitely… won’t let you——”

——Girls are Loading Warmly——

In this era where fully immersive online games have become ubiquitous, even people who do not like playing such games must have heard of the game «The Eternal Pacificus», whose development company can be considered the founder of fully immersive online game technology. Since its launch, «The Eternal Pacificus» has never fallen out of the top 3 in worldwide popularity.

The most intelligent NPCs, a high degree of flexibility and playability, not to mention a vastly huge continent suitable for those with a broad worldview…… By meticulously listing the merits and unique points of «The Eternal Pacificus», one could fill an entire book. Of course, no game is perfect, but this game has many redeeming qualities that completely mask any such flaws.

As for what attracts players the most, nothing can surpass the sense of realism.
The way the grass moves in the breeze, the smell of the flowers with the chorus of the birds, this attention to minor details which enhance immersion which is hard to find in other games, «The Eternal Pacificus» can vividly and accurately simulate. But not just the environment, but the personas that players play, the game’s NPCs, the wild fauna and flora, all seem like they truly exist.

Despite this genre of the game being popular worldwide, to the point that you can often hear heated discussions of games’ content on the streets, to me, this game is as distant as a Third World.

Why? Simple. My position is incompatible with playing full-dive online games. While it is true that the barrier to entry is very low – the prices of VR headsets have never been lower, such that the average families can afford it — but not all people of all professions can enjoy the luxury of diving into a different world. Least of all a servant like myself who bears the responsibility of ensuring the safety of my young mistress; it would be completely impossible to find time to play games.

——at least that would ordinarily be the case.

“So… am I now in the game world…?”

Gripping the cutting knife, I held a lump of blue jelly-like substance to the chopping board.

[Average Quality Slime Blob]

The information panel automatically appeared and hovered in front of my eyes, listing the origin, best before date, and a selection of recipes. This was completely unlike the real world, nevermind that slimes don’t exist in reality.

[Use Automatic Cooking?]</p>

Affirmative. It’ll be ready in a short moment…

That’s right, in the capacity of being my young mistress’s servant, I am always composed, calm and collected, any crude or rude behavior would smear my mistress’s name. I must have grace.

Yes, even if I have been mysteriously transported into a game world, I must keep a completely serene heart.

……………… Mistress, I’m sorry.

“——— WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?!??!!!”

How the heck am I going to be graceful like this?! In a situation where someone turns into a girl in the blink of an eye — can any man in existence continue as if nothing has happened?!

No, I must keep calm…… I should go through my memories step-by-step. Although I have acquired knowledge of the Lemuria continent from «The Eternal Pacificus» upon entering the game world, this does not mean I have lost my existing memories, but rather they have fused together.

I am the same age as my mistress, I am the only servant who accompanies her to school. I remember finishing up work at the student union……

Mistress: “It’s quiet. There’s nobody at the gates. This peacefulness is like heaven and earth.”

Me: “It’s late, so perhaps they’ve all gone home.”

Mistress: “Anyways, that has nothing to do with us.”

Me: “You seem to be in a good mood today.”

Mistress: “Of course. All the arrangements are in place, my father will definitely have to sit up and take notice of me, so long as you don’t drag me down.”

Me: “Mhm. Everything my mistress and I have done hasn’t been futile. From now on, if my mistress and I continue working like this, my lord would definitely……”

At that moment, my mistress and I walked through the school gates, but a black limousine suddenly pulled up out of nowhere, and several men in black suits got out. After that—

“Ah. I died.”

Thinking about it carefully this was when I suddenly realized – the end of one’s life comes completely without warning.

I was seriously injured while protecting my young mistress. Although I have hazy recollections of being in a hospital, there was no way I could survive that degree of injury. Fortunately, the young mistress is safe and sound, shedding tears for me—no, I must have dreamt that last part up. That mistress who enjoys deliberately making my life hard, is shedding tears for an insignificant servant like me? What a dream!

So I died…… ehh……

“So here I am, eating some slime salad, reminiscing about my death… Simply ridiculous…”

That said, this slime salad is delicious. The mouthfeel reminds me of jelly. It would definitely suit my lady’s palate. If you looked closer at my cooking skill level, you would notice I’m already at the max level, as expected of me.

In order to pursue realism, the game has a [hunger] mechanic. Unlike other games, food on the Lemuria continent does not provide simple buffs. If players and NPCs do not eat for a long time, the [hunger] value gradually decreases. When in the [hungry] state, all attributes would progressively decline in accordance with the level of [hunger]. If one insists on not eating, one could even starve to death and while players can be resurrected, once NPCs die they are truly dead.

“I entered the game world after I died? But I don’t recall ever putting on a virtual headset…”

Is this a bug in the game system? But why would a bug allow someone to be reborn in-game as an NPC? Such a nonsensical premise wouldn’t even be considered by sci-fi novel authors.

What should I do from now on? I have absolutely zero experience in virtual reality, and even if I had any experience, I’m not sure “transmigration into the game world as a girl” is something I would be able to solve. This is the kind of thing that makes for a good light novel title!

Perhaps the game system would treat me as an abnormality and delete me from existence.

“Is something wrong with me? Why am I cursing myself?”

If I was deleted I’m sure my consciousness would not continue, isn’t this a situation without any retreat? Finding trouble with the game system is tantamount to suicide, but not doing so would mean I would have to continue living in a girl’s body……

Ding dong…

Someone’s at the door?

“Anna~ Anna~”

Anna?

Ah, that’s right… Anna… Anastasia, is my name now.
