Waking up from my sleep, I was inside a room .
A room where the flow of time is different from the outside .
Once you enter, you won’t be able to leave until after you passed a full 24 hours inside . And thus I’m currently inside this room, farming for EXP Crystals at first, but then I’ve gotten so exhausted that I fell asleep .
Since there’s literally nothing around me, I could only use my arm as a pillow to sleep on the floor, but without noticing, I’ve already fallen asleep .
[I’m sure this is because of Emily’s effect . ] (Ryouta)
Since she herself went through the effort in making this area as comfortable as ever, the entire room has transformed into a place where people go to worship Gods .
And even though I was using my arm as a pillow to sleep, my body did not hurt at all, and all the fatigue in my body was blown right off .
[Well then, let’s get right back to it . ] (Ryouta)
I stood up, then looked up at the ceiling .
As what my friends have said, there is a clock over there .
When you first enter, the clock would start a 0, but now it’s almost over .
And even after I farmed for the EXP Crystals, defeated those Slimes, and even taking a rest .
It’s only 1 minute in real time .
I’m now imagining how much I’ve earned with all that effort, so I was looking forward to going out .
The clock further tick, and not even a minute is left .
[Oh . ] (Ryouta)
All of a sudden, a door appeared .
It was the door that disappeared when I entered the door . So I guess it appears once again when the time’s almost up .
Holding the doorknob, I twist it and swung the door open .
What awaits on the other side, is a room from our world .
Sunlight entering the floor, and the shadows of the trees shaking from the gentle wind at a tremendously slow pace .
With just a simple calculation, there’s a difference in time flor of about 1440 times .
And as the clock starts ticking, there’s not even 30 seconds before I have to exit .
[I better get out now, I do want to check whether I can go out safely . ] (Ryouta)
I thought, as I went through the door—–and it was at that moment .
A white thunder struck my head .
It felt like when someone thought of an idea, where the light just goes “kyupiin!” .
30 seconds .
That’s the amount of time left .
Speed Up Bullet .
I took out the bullet .
And I wondered, if I’m inside this room where time flows at about 1440 times faster, what would happen if I fired the Speed Up Bullet in that state?
… . . No time like the present to find out .
I loaded the bullet, and fired onto myself .
I’m currently inside the accelerated world .
The clock in the room has slowed down as well .
Inside a room where time is sped up, I’m also sped up as well .
Which also means that the world outside is going at a slower speed as well .
The shadows are practically stuck there, but if you look real close, it’s as if you’re using a slow motion camera to film that scene .
It looks kinda funny to be honest… . .
[———–!] (Ryouta)
Something suddenly caught my eyes .
In front of me, something suddenly appeared and disappeared from the door .
I thought that it was impossible .
That’s because I’m looking at the world that has been slowed down by a thousand times .
So it’s impossible for something to appear and disappear in this super slow motion state .
It’s impossible……However .
If I look at it carefully, and focus on it .
There it is———Right there .
The “Something” was flickering, and was floating .
I suddenly remembered .
It’s probably because it was always there, but it’s just that I couldn’t see it .
And it’s probably the first time noticing it, being in this double the accelerated world .
And I wanted to know what it was .
I watched and observed .
The one time that it is constant .
[It’s right there!] (Ryouta)
Remembering that feeling, I grabbed it with a spinal reflex .
The moment I grabbed onto it as it flickered, it became a clear shape .
And that was …A sword .
An old-fashioned decorative sword used for ceremonies .
Was it completely an intuition, or is it because I saw it before .
In my head, two objects emerged; A mirror, and a jewel .
[The Sword of Kusanagi………] (Ryouta)
What I was searching for all this time, and it was always so close to me .
The last key of Nihonium……is finally in my hands .
