[That day, I came to a end]
"What the was bad with me? Was it because I was too cute?"
I who sat on a chair let out a sigh.
Here is a room that imitates the a throne room.
Well, for a room, there is no door to enter and exit, Instead, a hanging screen was installed at what appeared to be an exit and people murmuring outside can be heard outside.
In fact, if you step out of this room, you'll find yourself in a meadow. My friends declared "a suitable place for this event is necessary!" and prepared this place for me.
At first it was a small scale event, the number of participants increased each time that was realized, and now it was becoming a big event filled with more than 100 participants and even more spectators.
But today will be the last time... As I look around the room in deep thoughts, the young man standing by my side bows respectfully.
"It's natural that the princess is cute, but it can't be bad. If you say who the bad ones, those who can't control their selfish desires are bad."
"O my, I wonder if it came out in my mouth… well if you speak of wrong persons, the person who don't have means of defending themselves and cutted off the connections for that can be called a wrong person.
"princess…"
"I'm sorry, It become a complain."
"I don't mind. Even if it's just a little, if it leads to peace of mind for you."
“Speaking of which, do you not care about me?”
"That's a stupid question. The one I pledged allegiance to is the princess. As long as the princess is there, it doesn't matter what's inside. My feelings are still unchanged in heart."
"Yes... Thank you. I'm happy."
"...Princess, it's about time. Everyone is becoming impatient."
"Well, let's get started. Please remove the screen."
When the screen opened, the first thing I saw was this beautiful land, the "Forest of Spirits" in the depths of the elven country. The forest is lined with tall trees that are thought to be dozens of meters tall, and spirits are flying through the gaps between the trees while raising their singing voices.
Is in such a forest, that this throne room was built, in a plaza that was cut open.
The plaza usually has a sacred atmosphere, but today it's showing a different face due to the crowd of players. From now on, the player-sponsored event that has become a monthly event will take place. It was a sudden call today, but many people attended and now we are packed.
They quiet down when I show up, everyone seems to be waiting for my words.
My appearance was adjusted without sleeping for several days until the perfection
A childish yet well-proportioned face that is between beautiful girl to a beautiful woman.
A dazzling shining silver hair extending to the waist.
The kind of woman(avatar) who you would follow with your eyes if you saw her on the street.
(Yeah, today's "I(私)" is also the cutest.)
Today, as usual, I'm taking off my real self and playing Shirayuki. Even if today is the last day, I have lived in this world as Shirayuki. Even if the fact that it was a counterfeit personality spreads, I want to continue to be Shirayuki until the end.
The dozens of players who gathered were about gender ratio 3:7 men to women.
All the kids that i taught "cuteness". Important friends who have laughed together, cried together, learned "cuteness" together, and pursued "cuteness" together.
I standed up and check their faces one by one.
"Everyone, thank you for joining us today. I'm happy that right after "that" happened, despite the sudden summons to have so many people gathered…I think everyone knows by now, but this event I'm hosting will end today."
"...so in the end, please show your best 'cuteness' now."
They remove their cloths with practice, and at that moment, the world became bright.
Everyone is wearing their best outfits.
Although there is only an hour after calling. People with deep ties, people with shallow ties, the fans, the junior idols... all sorts of people rushed over.
Naturally everyone lined up in front of me. Once again, I sit on my chair and wait for the first person.
The final fashion show has begun.
You've been by my side since I was still unknown, when you pledged allegiance to my incomplete cuteness I was really happy. you also served as an bodyguard, and was willing to sort out the ever-increasing number of fans.
Perhaps the reason he participated this time was because he didn't want to give up the first place, if that's the case, then there's a cute side to it, too.
“Haruto, thank you for preparing the venue. You look even more shining today. With the kingdom’s holy knight equipment and a red rose on your chest. Simple but very cute.”
"...Princess, my loyalty is to you forever."
"You will not change until the end… I really like that place in you."
"As always good with praises..."
To his unwavering loyalty even after knowing the "fact", and to you who watched "I(私)" until the very end, thank you from the bottom of my heart .
The second person. She who wears clothes based on green, has golden hair that extends to her shoulders and long ears, all these elements take a shape of a template fantasy elf that make everyone thinks, "Oh, it's exactly the elf i imagined."
And this chair was handmade by you, right? i understand Misha created it from the bottom of heart.
“Misha, that dark green dress, The thorns that can be seen everywhere are like the how you normaly, if touched easily might be hurtful, it suits you very well, and your crying face is really cute.”
"... Shirayuki, why? I just want to be with you! there no necessity to die!"
"I'm sorry. Even if I live like this, my heart will die, even if I survive the now, I won't be able to smile from the bottom of my heart...Ah, you’re cute, but a crying face doesn’t suit you after all."
"Hya!"
After wiping her tears, i stroked hers ears who today are docile and cute voice came out... It makes me want to touch it more.
"... Look, you are beautiful."
"sobs... I enjoyed being with you. It doesn't matter if it's real or not. I love you."
"I love you too, Misha."
They hugged each other and kissed each other on the cheek.
""take care""
Misha goes down to the place where Haruto is, the place of the ones who finished their turn, seeing her crying, Haruto tries to soothe her, but he is flustered as to what to do.
It always happens when you're dealing with a female avatar other than me. Totally cute.
I can't feel my feet now. A constant error message appears on the screen. I want to shake it off, but that arm is also heavy like lead. It's hard to breathe.
...I wonder if it's showing in face.
At that time, the turn of my precious juniors came around. Twin juniors who run up to me like puppies. Miki in red and Saki in blue.
When I was in the spotlight and was treated like an official idol by management, I was suddenly declared a rival by the two of them.
I was totally blown away by the loveliness of these girls who looked at me as rivals who tried to compete with me and i started pampering then, before I knew they started calling me "senpai" and take liking to me.
They are so easy to please that is worring to leave them alone.
""Senpai""
"O my, the clothes you two today are from when we coordinated together last month."
"Senpai, let's run away! If it's senpai, you can start over!"
"Yes, it's just as my sister said , if Shirayuki-senpai's sense it's possible ...we'll help you too! "
"... hurrying so much, you're so cute, you two."
""Senpai!""
"Fufu, I'm sorry. well, even if I could escape and start over, there might be something I could get back but there are too few people who could see what i take back as "Shirayuki". That is something that 'I(私)' can't stand."
"... sister"
"Yeah... Um, I have something to apologize to Senpai."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Th-those who went out of control away this time, I'm the one who started about it! i wanted to know the secret behind the senpai's cuteness, so I approached them! "
I nodded and urged him to continue. The surroundings fell silent, their gaze was sharp enough to pierce through the twins.
"But when they started hacking, I got scared... I tried to stop them, but they wouldn't listen... because of me, senpai-"
"Enough"
I hugged Miki, who was sobbing, and Saki, who was nervous next to her.
"You were the trigger this time, but if the first word broke their brakes, they will probaly ended doing something similar at some point...It's just a matter of whether it's fast or slow, It was hard for Saki too."
"... Shirayuki-senpai."
“……Senpai, I’m sorry.”
"It's okay, I'll forgive you. everyone too, okay? I won't allow you to blame them for this matter."
""sobs""
Two people cried in my chest., They're really cute twins that take a lot of care to the very end.
"I(私)" is Shirayuki. I just wanted 'cuteness' from all over the world. That alone was enough, but before I knew it, fans began to show interest in the real me. I just wished that they just looked at 'cute' "me(私)", even if i ask to them just look at "me(私)" they chased the real me.
And they finally went as far as hacking into management, the information was spread randomly, and they identified… the real master.
Then they surrounded the Master's house and began to set it on fire.
Master despaired.
It's not about being murdered.
As the days go by, "I (私)'' and the Master are associated and recognized, and the number of people who only look at "I (私)'' decreases. The mystic power of "I (私)" is lost.
Even though "I(私)" shining is the master's reason for living, "I(私)" can no longer shine, that just a hell, master couldn't stand it.
If in the end i gonna die, let's be killed, or so he thought so.However, at the end of the day, I just wanted to say goodbye to everyone that i have been able to communicate with. The number of people gathered was not very large. But even so, they were still there, people who were really looking at "me(私)" .
Thank you for watching "me(私)" until the end.
Even if I manage to escape from here now, if the Master's heart dies, "I(私)" will die.
"My(私)" death is the master's death. The death of the Master is the death of "I(私)".
("So let's go together")
I switched my line of sight from the twins to the surroundings. There are the many friends who shared "cuteness" that i have been involved since jumping into this world.
At that time, words from the heart naturally came out of my mouth.
“…Shirayuki, it was fun.”
("Me too, Master.")
In a world swallowed by darkness, I thought I heard her voice.
Wow... basically since their idol image is not what they expected, they burned their house? Didn't they think they won't be arrested? Also it's virtual world, I don't understand why they went mad when their real self is different. All idol basically act differently in private and public.
