Chapter 21
Suddenly, I realized that I was lying prone at my bedroom desk .
I removed the face-mounted display, which had partly fallen from my face, and looked around the room .
It was the same as usual .
Sunlight was already shining through the windows . The time was half past six . I could also hear sparrows chirping . It was the morning . How strange . Had I fallen asleep again?
Then my memory became clear . I remembered what happened last night in The World .
No, I hadn’t fallen asleep .
We were blown away by the monster’s roar, and we lost consciousness .
What happened to my companions? Are BlackRose and Balmung safe?
I swiftly seized the controller and checked the mailer, but there was no contact from them .
I could only send an email confirming my safety .
I was uneasy the whole day .

Aside from the monsters that appeared later, we succeeded in defeating the Reaper who left Orca unconscious . Perhaps that would help Yashiko . Was his consciousness restored? I expected so .
But after school, that expectation was shattered .
At the hospital where Yasuhiko had been admitted, his condition had not changed .
No visitors allowed .
I left the hospital disappointed .
It was a complete deadlock .

The girl named Aura had been drained by the Grim Reaper, and we managed to defeat Grim Reaper, but soon another giant monster appeared . Yet Yasuhiko remained in a coma .
I no longer knew what to do .
In the first place, was there anything I could do anyway?
I was walking along a sidewalk thinking about this .
So I didn’t notice that I was being called .

“Hey, you there…”
When I stopped and turned around, a man was smiling at me . He spoke softly .
“You came from the hospital just now, right? Do you know of a kid who became unconscious after playing The World?”
I looked at him with a serious expression .
Even though it was already deep in the autumn season, he was wearing a fancy Hawaiian shirt . He had round sunglasses on his face . It was a strange look no matter how you looked at it .
As he turned his face, the heavy smell of a cigarette hit my nose .
