If You Don't Tell Me Your Name, I'll Come Find You.

[I dressed Ak-rini in new clothes.][Poster: Efficiency]

Tried dressing her in new clothes while climbing Floor 7 this time. Probably will appear wearing these clothes in the next Nightmare?

How is it?

Click.

Now no turning back.

The hot post just written appeared at the top of the gallery.

Now many people will see my post.

Photo of me taken personally.

Indeed what comments will be posted.

For some reason body trembles greatly.

Directly uploading my photo to the community and showing everyone, isn't it strange.

Something I'm doing for the first time in my life.

No matter if it's me, can't help but be nervous.

Phew~

Took a deep breath.

Sweat forming from tension.

Soon, comments started pouring in.

OO: What is this? How did you do it??? OO: To think this isn't a bait post…. RyoriJoa: Lol hey give me the guide. Let me dress her too. OO: Freaking cute. Can't reveal the face? OO: Saved. Lunatic: Crazy clothes freaking cute. Haa- sniff. OO: What is it. Shrine maiden outfit? Why not skirt??

Start is full of questions. Next is reaction of being cute.

After that leading to how I dressed her, all sorts of question posts started running.

Rapidly rising views, recommendations.

Upgraded to Recommended Post in an instant.

Good, then shall I start the defensive war.

My goals are 2.

Just this much will greatly reduce real life danger.

Guys trying to find out if I'm a modern person will disappear, and Depravity Route trying to attack the NPC by any chance will decrease because Affinity posts increase.

Keyboard warrior-ing in the corner of the room for that.

PureLove: Can you upload a guide post?

Efficiency: Nothing special really. I just luckily met her in a Hidden Route last season. Because of that we got close quickly so she doesn't run away. PureLove: Then did you try pat-patting her head? Efficiency: She's shy so that's hard. If tried she will run away. PureLove: How did you dress her? Efficiency: Just handed it naturally when clothes were dirty and she wore it on her own. OO: Really how did you get close? Efficiency: Trade secret.

Hmph.

Try to know for a lifetime.

Because there is no such thing as a method to get close.

You guys just stay tied to the Affinity Route forever with the hope 'That guy did it, so can I get close too?'.

That is best for me.

Let's manipulate public opinion a little more.

OO: Today is this. OO: She's covering her face but seriously just looking at that physique, eyes, and hair is violently cute. Can't someone reveal the real face?

Efficiency: If Affinity Route don't try to reveal face. Wariness will get worse. OO: Then should I go Depravity Route? Efficiency: Don't recommend that either. Because of hidden power, the moment face is seen she will try to kill you somehow. Don't do it unless you are a really strong guy. OO: How do you know she tries to kill if face is seen? Efficiency: Just has a story. Can't tell you up to that, but what is certain is go unconditionally Affinity Route. That way reward will be big too. OO: But if she tries to hide to that extent, rather curious? Efficiency: Just don't do ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠it if told not to.

Where do you keep trying to dig in.

Subject who can't even dress her, dare to try revealing the face?

Everything is a privilege possible only for me. Absolutely can't touch my NPC.

Depravity is even more forbidden.

…Uh oh.

Think I am defending too diligently.

Simply intended to turn public opinion, but realizing it, I can't take my hands off the keyboard.

Ugh, this is really a scary thing.

Get sucked in if careless.

Being too active also buys suspicion.

Let's restrain answers slowly.

3 seconds after thinking that. A comment I couldn't ignore without typing was posted.

2EE: It's the person who dressed her in ninja suit last time.

What is this guy.

How does he know that.

Right now it's a named account, how is he sure the anonymous account from back then is me.

Fortunately it's just words up to that extent though….

If this guy really suspects and digs in, feel like something will go wrong. Feeling like I should answer so he doesn't suspect as much as possible.

Damn it, just up to you.

2EE: Does Ak-rini not run away from you?

Efficiency: Ye seems affinity built up a bit? 2EE: By chance can you tell me what Ak-rini likes? Even trivial conquest method. Efficiency: As you know she hates reckless approach, and if I have to say… practical things? Likes efficient things. 2EE: By chance how do you greet her? Efficiency: Greeting? No situation to greet, just talked naturally. 2EE: How about catching her forcibly and keep mixing words to open her heart little by little? Since she seems young, wonder if such psychology would work. You know, like fearing but gradually trusting.

Huh?

What are you saying.

No way such thing would work.

Seems to be talking about something like Stockholm Syndrome, but nonsensical sound.

More than that… this guy.

Scarier guy than thought.

Not really intending to execute it right?

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

If met with a guy like this in reality, certain to be caught wrong and live (badly).

So must block absolutely.

Efficiency: Absolutely don't do such a thing. Whether there is a story, her thinking is a bit different from ours. Besides, what if you get attacked in the middle? 2EE: Fine I can take it. Just asked just in case. Efficiency: Whatever it is don't do it. Absolutely won't be broken by such things. No one succeeding in Depravity Route yet is the proof. 2EE: Not trying to break her. Just wanted to take care of her a bit. I'm Affinity Faction. But it's too hard to approach. Pitiful to watch her keep running away alone too. Conclusively wanted to make her feel safe. Efficiency: Know the heart, but still approach slowly. If you spend time, might not run away who knows.

Will run away unconditionally, you punk.

Where do you dare try to ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠catch me forcibly.

2EE: Is that so… maybe I tried to take too difficult a detour. Anyway thx 2EE: Can I ask more curious things later? Efficiency: If not busy.

“Phew…….”

Not easy.

Too active.

Ugh, just somehow strange feeling.

Shivering.

Teaching others how to conquer me myself is strange in itself.

Just why am I writing things like this….

Might feel a little sense of shame.

But eventually investment for the future.

Originally work is unavoidable even if disliked.

World where one must not refuse disliked work to live for a happy life.

If a member of society, naturally must bear it.

With this roughly work is done.

Let's organize.

Destruction Floor 2 - Safely cleared. Showdown with broker - Returned alive. Insufficient living expenses - Became rich now. Boiling Depravity public opinion - Probably scheduled to calm down.

Roughly goals are almost all cleared.

Did as much as I could for immediate problems.

In other words, means free time has arrived.

From now on it should be okay to roll around at home without worry.

Right.

Current me has the qualification to rest.

Let's rest well!

[By chance do you know Ak-rini's name?]

[Secret.]

[?? Meaning you know?]

[No no no way I'd know. Just pretended to know.]

[Hmm~ You really don't know right?]

[No reason for me to hide it.]

[True, is that so. Then have other curious things.]

Peaceful few days passed.

No, a slightly annoying few days.

Intended to rest comfortably, but this guy 2EE keeps sending messages and annoying me.

Same right now.

Was enjoying computer games for the first time in a while, but kept sending messages.

Well, what can I do.

No choice but to deal with him a little.

Most dangerous enemy must be kept close.

If I can control this guy who I don't know where he'll bounce, that would be good too.

[What is curious again.]

[The efficient thing you mentioned? Would Ak-rini like it if I give such thing as a present?]

[Specifically what?]

[Something like magic item that can protect body. Since she looks vulnerable in close combat, thought she might like it a bit if I give one A-Grade or higher.]

[Ye ye ye ye ye That would be really good. Higher probability she likes it the better the performance.]

[Really?]

[Ye exactly will like such thing. Very efficient and practical present.]

Somehow emotion was contained in the conversation.

Because well, it was quite an interesting story.

Item that can protect my body vulnerable in close combat? How can I resist this.

Ah, but the NPC will receive that.

Then means I can't use it.

Sigh….

Fluttered uselessly.

Rather gave away the conquest method.

Because the NPC who doesn't know this might snatch up such an efficient item.

Don't know if it will be okay.

Need to be a little careful.

[Ok will take a decent item thx thx will buy you a meal later.]

Already too late to turn back.

2EE. Don't know who he is, but really seems to intend to take an item and give it to me.

Can I notice that?

Worry a little but.

Fine!

I am now rich.

Don't know the reason, but a huge sum of money the broker gave is in my hands. Uncomfortable money, but can't leave it alone either.

With this money, no worry about living expenses.

In other words, since the reason to climb the Tower disappeared, the next Nightmare won't happen.

Your conquest ends at Floor 7. Won't be able to conquer me forever.

So this much should be fine.

As soon as I thought that.

Ding.

[Tell me your name. If you continue not to reply, I will go to retrieve the money.]

Telegram message arrived. The guy who asked my name before 2EE.

Broker.

This guy sent texts asking what my name is every day since the showdown, perhaps because I kept ignoring, strange words ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠were attached to the back today.

That he will retrieve the money.

This… is it real?

How does he intend to retrieve the money?

As expected is there a location tracker in the money bundles in the inventory, and did that even work?

Then is my location caught?

But… is that possible?

Pressure different in dimension from when talking with 2EE.

Even though this side isn't even accepting conversation, why is it so scary.

If that guy really knows my location.

So if he really retrieves all the money….

Ugh. Already twice?

Cases where my grand plan is broken.

Even worse both times broker, as expected strong enemy. Few people in life who could make me nervous like this.

Then what should I do.

Reply. Ignore.

Tap~

My answer is ignore.

Turned off the phone.

A bit awkward to reply now.

Besides who knows if it's a bluff. High probability he just says that and can't come find me.

I am an unidentified girl.

Even if he searches nothing will pop up right?

Maybe that's why he asked for the name. Because it will be hard to find me knowing only the face.

Yes, that must be right.

Absolutely ignore.

Anyway loss if I answer.

Conversely if the guy was bluffing when I didn't answer, my life blooms on a flower path.

Brazening it out and holding out is advantageous for me.

Still just in case countermeasure is….

Yeah. None.

Not much I can do about this. Besides if it's the guy, he would have already set countermeasures for countermeasures. Caught in the noose from before start. Only weaknesses revealed if struggling.

Unless really going to rot somewhere alone all night, probably only I will become disadvantaged? Already big loss at that point.

The fact that the house is caught by the guy means it's already over.

Believe it can't be, but first pray to God.

Please don't come find me.
