Ebook Bonus – I Converted for My Best Friend and Became the Demon Sword Princess!
To everyone out there who has ever played a game, good day to you~! And to everyone else, good day as well. I am Mayumi Nanase. Right off the bat, would you listen to me?
Do you all have someone you like? Surely there is at least some part of someone you like? I have someone I like as well. Yes, Amane Rindo-san! That fine-featured face touched with melancholy, that toned and lovely body that looks as though it could scoop even me up with ease, and that smile she shows on occasion! That smile! That smile!! I like her with any expression at all, but that smile is wonderful!!
“Do pardon me~!”
“E-Rror, se-vere, Er-ro, Aa-Alalalaaaa————”
“My, that felt marvelously refreshing~!! O—hohohohoho!!”
Now, to the main point. I had been playing the hugely anticipated new VR online game Meltis Online before A-chan did, and yet A-chan went and drew a secret event I knew nothing about! And that secret event, astonishingly, is not the ordinary start where an angel guides you so you get drawn into the faction of Meltis, goddess of light! You can apparently start in the faction of Demon God Babylon-sama!
OF COURSE I REINCARNATED!
Yes, I reincarnated. I do not mind in the least restarting from Level 1! If anything, it is a fine opportunity: one more excuse to play together with A-chan!! On my first run I started without punching the angel, but something about the angel irritated me so I began without following the tutorial, and in the end I disliked the players who did wicked things in-game so much that I played as an inquisitor of the Meltis Faith. And yet the Meltis Faith’s clerics were every last one of them a shady bunch, and the angels only ever told people what suited them and pestered me to donate, to give alms, so tiresome… No wonder that felt so refreshing just now!!
Now then, by A-chan’s account this should let me meet Demon God Babylon-sama, but nothing in particular seems to be changing…?
“Nn~♡ So Rinne has introduced a friend to me already~?”
“My! You truly are a wonderful person!! A pleasure to meet you, I am called Perseus!”
“Yes, I know. I have been watching you since you came to this world. Once more, then: I am the Demon God Babylon. The god of the Demon World who stands against Meltis♡”
Kyaaa!! Even more wonderful than A-chan described! What shall I do, my heart is pounding fit to burst and I am so nervous!! I feel I understand a little of what A-chan meant about wanting to kneel and lick her shoes. She has a charisma that makes one naturally wish to prostrate oneself…! Eh, you have been watching me from the very start!? Did I do something to draw your eye…?
“As an inquisitor of the Meltis Faith, there was something that struck you as doubtful, was there not?”
“Yes, shady is perhaps the word. It felt as though something was being hidden, as though they only ever said what suited them!”
“What is being hidden, and what is wrong with it. You would do well to determine that through the adventure ahead. First, let me grant you the power to have that adventure♡”
“Yes! Understood!”
I had never once spoken my doubts about the Meltis Faith aloud, and yet you truly were watching me closely! Amaaazing!
“Considering your combat tendencies so far, I think a close-range combat type suits you.”
“I am rather poor at ranged attacks and magic…!”
“A princess of darkness who takes a demon sword in hand and dances across the battlefield with elegance and delicate charm: the Dark Princess. I think it fits you perfectly♡ How does that sound?”
“A demon sword, you say!?”
“Yes. You freely create the demon sword you envision and fight with it. I am sure you will master it!”
What shall I do, what a terribly attractive job…! I adore fighting with a large weapon! In truth I wanted a greatsword, yet none carried properly showy ornamentation… But wait! If I can freely create the demon sword I envision, that means I may decide the design myself, does it not! I absolutely want to do it!!
“Dark Princess, I absolutely want to do it~!!”
“Good, then it is decided~♡ The difficult parts you will pick up yourself in time, and I expect you will be feeling your way at first, but do your best♡”
Dark Princess, a demon sword, a special event! It all feels so wonderfully special~!! Nn~ the best, I am so happy~!! Above all I am delighted to be in the same faction as A-chan~!!
“……Say, there is one thing I should like to ask.”
“Yes, do please say anything! If it is something I can answer, I shall answer anything!!”
“What sort of relationship do you have with Rinne?”
“Eh! Ah, umm…”
My relationship… with A-chan…!? Friends…? Something like family…? W-We have not gone so far as lovers…
“A-chan… ah! Rinne-san is like family to me… s-someone precious!”
“I see. Hmm~…♡”
“Eh, ehh?”
“Then put on this equipment. Once you do, there is no going back♡”
“Eh, ah, yes!!”
Aah…! Overwhelmed by that sadistic expression, I could not ask the intent behind the question! I have been thoroughly defeated… The atmosphere was hardly one in which I could ask a question back, and I feel the pressure of put the gauntlet on quickly…!
“Various hardships await you from here on, I expect, but you are to face them together with Rinne and overcome them♡”
“Y-Yes!”
“Well then, Rinne will be waiting. Off you go~♡”
A-chan… in this world, she is Rinne-san…! Together with Rinne-san, I shall do my best…!
“I shall do my very best!”
“Let us meet again♡ Now then, I shall send you near Rinne.”
“Yes!”
That is right! I am keeping Rinne-san waiting! I want to hurry back and adventure together with Rinne-san. Babylon-sama, I am grateful to you for granting me the chance at a wonderful adventure with Rinne-san! Well then, good day to you~!!
