BATTLE OR ALIVE
Prologues
Have you ever heard the phrase Magnificent that could have changed everything like this?, “OTHER WORLD! ”.
***
A simple sentence that even to many is nothing but nonsense, yep!, of course, it is no exception for two people who are busy with their own world and forget the reality that is happening around them.
Kiyomizu Jell (17) and Ogawa Mai (17). For many People, People who care about their own world are examples of People who can't be helped anymore, Fools who forget reality. But that boring sentence had no effect on these two people.
Jell and Mai are otaku, but who would have thought People like them instead of getting scathing blasphemy instead of getting Fans and Stalkers in their lives?.
Of course They both get treatment not for free, only crazy people who are willing to spend time just to stalk my otaku, right?.
Kiyomizu Jell is Setter* on the Volleyball team at her school, a position she got because of her height “178cm”. Of course he is an important person in his team, he does not have a special title like Captain, Ace, or Vice. But all the spectators were on him. Especially the women who were stunned by the technique and good looks he had. That's why Jell is in the 2nd position of the most handsome man in his school.
(TN: Setter is the position of the player closest to the net. His job is to organize the attacks the team is doing.)
Ogawa Mai is the secretary of Osis. Proficiency and perseverance while working gives the radiance of Charisma. His long braided hair that looked so charming, made him the top position of the prettiest woman in school.
But for both of them it is not important. Getting attention every day is not a pleasant treatment for both of them.
***
Monday is the hardest day for many people. One in seven days, Monday is the most visible burden in life. Every day sighs because this fate is not unusual for them.
This also applies to Jell, when the morning had to take a bath when he had just got heaven for the holiday given.
“Hah..”.
The voice ******* that can be heard is clearly spoken from his mouth.
A moment passed when He finished preparing all that was necessary, took a bath and had breakfast to go so as not to be late for School.
But something was different this morning, an e-mail from an unknown stranger was on Jell's phone.
Messages from unfamiliar people and unclear subjects. It says magnificently “Did you ever think of living in another world?.”
A little surprised by what he asked. A useless message for him was not answered seriously, he replied with a word that could be felt that the answer was so relaxed as to answer the question of a fool.
“Yah, of course.”
Not long after that the reply was answered. With an elegant tone written also a puzzling question for Jell.
“Then how would you like if you were in the game too?.”
“What Do You Mean?.”
He answered a message that irritated him a bit in the morning. But the answer received from an unknown person makes Jell's eyes sleepy because of boring things are happening, become tense and make him wonder.
“Of course not, playing in a world where you are the main cast “No.1”.”
Cold air gusted through Jell's spine. He was surprised why this person he did not know knew of his great secret. Jell replied with caution, her heart saying this person is not an ordinary person.
“Who are you, why do you know that?”
A lot of questions came to Jell's mind, but the answers she received made her even more upset. For Jell, this secret is a secret that no one wants to divulge, because it could be because his peaceful life could be destroyed.
“Hahaha.., Who am I is not important.”
“What do you want?”
Jell replied to the reply she received, from this person.
““.....GAME .....””.
(TN: In this word “Game” here shows the word call/take, not “Game” in the sense of application or the like)
“As I said before, a game in which you become the main Character”
The sentence follows the previous sentence. Jell began to feel that the person who was talking to her was deliberately cornered to comply with her request. Jell replied resignedly and was still in a state of caution.
“Alright, But what kind of game will I play?”
Without him realizing the sentence he said to be the end of their warm conversation in the morning. No answer came from that person and it made Jell's morning really upset.
***
“Yoo!, Jell-Kyun.”
The greeting that was no longer unfamiliar to Jell's ears, it was Mai who greeted him and like the usual day they left for school together. This routine occurs naturally due to their adjoining homes.
The mysterious morning message that made her upset, and now the silly greeting in the morning that made her even more upset.
“Stop adding to my name, it makes me even more upset.”
For people, this is one of the legendary scenes that always exist in movies and romantic novels, going to school together like lovers who always make out, like, but to them it is not what they think it is.
Childhood friends leave together and go to the same school, “there's what's wrong with that”, they think because people think they're a couple of lovers early in the morning But of course if only they said so, people will not believe their words, it is because their closeness is no longer called friends.
Jell and Mai already know each other, they met about 10 years ago, when the Ogawa family moved to the Jell housing complex.
Jell was still thinking about the message this morning, but u to make Mai not ask for the right, Jell while talking with Mai to the destination. There is a man heading towards the two of them, Jell's best friend Keyl.
“Again! still morning you guys are busy, take me also dong!”
Jell did not reply to the joke while smiling slightly, as this she felt a little calm, the confused Keyl went into the chatter of these two people.
Milter Keyl (17), he's Jell's best friend sitting next to him. He is a person who always melts the atmosphere in the classroom, because of his cheerful attitude and also somewhat bego according to Jell, he is a friendly character that can be seen anywhere.
***
Hours of rest reads, like any other day people go out to buy food and there are also those who bring supplies from home, Jell and Mai bring their own supplies, put together a table and start eating.
Keyl who took out his provisions began to notice something was not right, he saw Jell and Mai's stock box containing the same food.
It was a dangerous thing for Jell, while eating he explained the situation to Keyl not to make a fuss just because of the stock, it was because Keyl was a gossip spreader, he did not want others to think strangely.
One of the habits of Jell and Mai during break time is playing games. That's natural, because they're both otaku. While lying on her thigh, Mai plays her phone, from her position holding her HP it looks like Mai is playing an RPG-themed game, which is very popular, And at the same time Jell just opens social media to see if there is any interesting news she can take. Keyl opened the conversation.
“Why? You envy ya~”
Mai replied while insinuating Keyl's single-handed status, the inevitable answer from her mouth that made Keyl hurt.
“Enak yes, so popular person, is it “No.2”?”
Jell heard the sniff still playing her Handphone she replied and the answer left Keyl in disbelief.
“Enak what? You think living like that is good? … A quiet life without obstacles and chaos is the way of my life!”
With a beaming face Jell explained the motto of her life, Mai returned her spirit.
“But living me is also your way of life right.”
“Living what?”
Jell replied to the person who added the motto of his life, laughter could be heard from their table.
As Jell recalled something important that he had almost forgotten, it was Mathematics PR, the break was only 10 minutes away.
Look at his math book and how relieved he is because his PR was done last night. With a little worry he reprimanded Mai who was still cool to sleep on his lap.
“Woy, how long will you use me as a pillow? Your PR is done?”
He answered Jell's question lazily.
“PR? There is yes. Looks like I don't work.”
5 minutes before the math lesson starts, Jell seems to have guessed that this one woman will do her PR. Consciously, Mai looks pale when she suddenly wakes up from the lap, she just remembered this PR can make her out of class if it is not completed.
A sullen face with few tears made Mai's face look really cute, it was her secret weapon to get what she wanted, of course it was she created just for her Jell.
A face that can deceive people's power and willingly do anything to not let the face shed tears, but it does not work for Jell who is already mentally and spiritually immune, and his body, because I'm used to Mai's behavior.
Jell looked at her with an annoyed face, while giving words, the innocent sweet face of her Mai was acting up.
“Jell~!.”
“What?”
“You know?, I've been trying hard, I've done everything I could.”
“Terus?”
“That's loh~”
““Itu—”What?”
Every word that came out of his mouth with Moe*(1) attitude, looking at Jell's attitude that was not affected by his teasing, made him proceed to a more extreme stage. His face immediately looked at Jell with a smile.
(You definitely can't avoid this one!) he said in his heart.
But what to expect from that Jell looked at him even deeper, like going to do a scene “Cikan”. About him Mai with this condition.
Mai who was shocked to make her chubby cheeks red, red blushing can be seen immediately because the skin of the puti like her milk. Irritatedly Mai directly acted with her instincts.
“Come on!, please just this time!, I beg you! … I'll do anything! You know, anything. Beautiful girl like me will listen to her, you should be happy right, so please just this time—!.”
Mai attacked him with a locking hug. But Jell wasn't that weak, pushed that face and forcefully let go of her lockdown.
“Calling yourself beautiful it makes me sick—.”
“But I'm really pretty right?!.”
“Let go!, this power you should use to complete the PR!.”
“No, I want to see yours—”
“Ha—!, do you think I'll grant that?.”
“…”
“Cih...!.”
The complaint came out of Mai's mouth, it seemed that she could not capture Jell's heart properly, forced him to resort to more rude and challenging means.
“It looks like this is the only way you want to show it yes!.”
A loud voice spoke from his mouth, he challenged Jell to a bet with him. One of their many habits, betting is one of them. Mai challenging Jell playing a small game that does not take much time “Paper Scissor Stones ” is the last way.
“Jell, let's bet!, We will play Janken*(2).”
“Alright, but what will We bet?.”
Mentioning her second bet, which Mai bet on, she would make one whatever request Jell asked for, and Jell bet she would show all her PR for the week without exception.
““THREE GAMES, ONE WINNER AND ONE LOSER!.””
At the same time they called for the same thing, it was like a mantra of high esteem and respect.
But while their attention is skilled at the reactions of their classmates, they feel more excited than usual, and Jell finally understands what makes the situation a little stressful, it was a mistake he made himself.
Their voices are scattered in the classroom, “Jell, want to kiss Mai—!”,“They are more friendly than usual—!”, “As expected from “No.3”dan“No.4”, as expected, they are the best—!”.
For Jell it was too late to straighten out this misunderstanding, she looked at Mai who she thought would support her to stop them, but Mai's face blushed in embarrassment, it is as if he approves of what friends say.
