Description

Kirara glances at Akafuyu sitting in front of the TV. "Why are you suddenly so interested in this thing? You've been stealing looks at it." Akafuyu doesn't turn around, but simply removes a shoulder guard with one hand and tosses it to Kirara. Her eyesight may be poor, but she's so aware of her surroundings, she might as well have a camera in her back. "This armor..." "It's an heirloom. It's not valuable. My master doesn't go out to fight much, so it was bequeathed to me." "Um, the design..." "It's a very special shape to the armor. In the old days, each family had its own style." Kirara touches the shoulder guard and compares it to the armor in her game. She starts to think the developers must know of Akafuyu. "Someone asked me almost the same question before, a little girl about your age. She would ask me under her breath, "Captain, is your armor made of some high-tech material? Can it really withstand a grenade blast?" Ha, she might have thought I was some antique." "So, can it?" "Don't be a fool. It's hard, sure, but it's just a piece of metal. You'd do better training hard and listening to your commander. She knew that, of course. Still, this armor has saved me plenty of times. Look, the pit that jumps right out at you there, that crossbow bolt almost pierced clean through my arm. Oh, and she was there in the last battle, standing next to me. Damned near died." Kirara suddenly loses interest in the topic. The heavy feeling on her knees reminds her that this shoulder guard is supposed to be unique, representing an era of glory passed from one generation to the next, still thick with the stench of war and sacrifice. But now, it's a rare item in a popular game, and any player can get it, if they pay enough. Akafuyu stands up. Kirara decides to hurry over and take out the freshly purchased game disc before Akafuyu notices. "By the way, do you have a minute?" Akafuyu walks towards her, "I just killed the final boss without taking any damage. Can you upload the recording to that forum you like? Oh, and put my name on it, so you-know-who doesn't miss it..." Kirara only now notices the game on the screen. The main character is holding a wooden sword with the lowest ATK, wearing almost no armor, except... the piece currently resting on her knees. "Does it... bother you?" "What? Oh, that it's my armor? If someday the people of Higashi know it from a game, rather then from a battlefield... then it can only mean that the war is finally over." Akafuyu takes back the shoulder guard and slots it neatly into place, 'I've waited too long for that day."
