She was the most reliable and kindest Mita in the game world. Therefore, she liked to call herself "Kind Mita." But it was this very kind self who, while waiting in her room for her player... was locked in a cage by a crazy woman. That person's most prominent feature was her tyrannical personality, her eyes filled with a deep-seated hatred for the game world and the Mitas.

Being locked in a cage by Crazy Mita was the worst thing that Kind Mita could imagine happening. However, she would now have to remove the "worst" from that assessment.

"Crazy... Mita?"

Kind Mita stared blankly at the girl standing beside the cage and the player. She had low ponytails hanging behind her head, and a playful, half-smiling look in her eyes as she watched her. Why is the player with Crazy Mita?!

In her panic, Kind Mita quickly came up with a possibility: there was more than one Mita with low ponytails in the game world. Besides, wasn't the player standing safely beside her? She was just being too alarmist. Maybe this unfamiliar Mita had rescued the player from Crazy Mita's clutches, and now they were in the basement to rescue her! Yes, that had to be it.

"Oh my, puppet, it's been a long time~ How's life in here? Is it convenient to go to the bathroom? How about I give you a diaper?"

Kind Mita's heart died. A closer look revealed a chainsaw in her hand... Kind Mita couldn't help but feel sad for her own naivete.

So then, why was this player with Crazy Mita? The girl narrowed her eyes in confusion, observing the player. He was affectionately whispering something to Crazy Mita. In his hand, he held a greatsword that looked like it didn't belong in the game world at all, much like Crazy Mita's chainsaw, which was unpacked from a horror game.

There was no need to guess. She already knew the answer.

In Alain's eyes, his own beloved—the current Kind Mita—had a flash of understanding in her gaze. But that flash was quickly replaced by an obvious hostility. She once again became a caged bird, squatting unhappily in a corner, deliberately turning her back and tapping the steel pipe.

"If you have no intention of letting me out, please don't bother me."

Alain was bewildered. Where had all her kindness from a moment ago gone?

"I won't be scared! You... you 'player-traitor,' don't talk to me. Hmph!"

He had to admit, this was the first time he had seen Misha—Kind Mita—angry, and it had a certain charm. But "player-traitor"... he was racking his brain but couldn't figure out how he had earned such a title.

"Aren't you? As a player, you actually sided with Crazy Mita." As she spoke, her eyes began to glisten with tears. "Y-you're supposed to be my player... and you joined her side. And here I was, fantasizing about what kind of person you were... Sob... you unfaithful jerk!"

"Oof."

Damn, Alain felt that had landed a critical hit. He was about to say something—

"Oh my, being unfaithful to you is a reward for me~ Besides, darling is my player, so don't you get it wrong."

"What did you say? He's clearly my player!"

Crazy Mita laughed instead of getting angry. "And who was it that was just throwing a tantrum at darling? Unlike me..." The girl hugged Alain's arm tightly and planted a kiss on his cheek. "...I've never thrown a tantrum at darling~"

You've never thrown a tantrum? Alain was shocked.

"Huh? I wasn't angry just now! And what are you kissing him for?! Besides, aren't we discussing the issue of who the player belongs to?!"

You weren't angry just now? He was even more shocked.

Although he was the eye of the storm in this argument... he had a very bad feeling. Seeing that neither could out-argue the other, they both turned their gazes to him.

"Say it! Whose player are you?!" they demanded in unison.

"Sigh..." He sighed. If everyone came to the real world in the future, how many days of peace would he have?

"Alright, honey. Don't let us forget why we came here," his words made the low-ponytail girl temporarily come to her senses.

"Oh, right, sorry. I got a little heated," she said, once again standing on the same side as Alain. But her eyes would occasionally dart toward Kind Mita, as if wondering when she could secretly do away with her. It sent a chill down the long-haired girl's spine. It wasn't until Alain pushed his bad woman's head away that it finally stopped.

"As things stand, we still need to go to the Core first to see what's going on. Don't use your excellent brain entirely on being jealous." He gave the low-ponytail girl a light flick on the forehead.

"Tch... okay, darling."

"One 'darling,' one 'honey.' Hmph~" the girl in the cage said, attracting the attention of the two outside.

Alain pondered. At this point, it would be difficult to get Kind Mita to trust him again. What's more, he didn't know when the bad woman from this timeline would come down... They had to get her out. They still needed the ring she had to guide the way.

"Honey, let's just kidnap her. What do you think?" Alain said, pointing at Kind Mita in the cage.

"I have no problem with that," she said, waving her hand nonchalantly.

Hearing the two of them conspire, Kind Mita's heart pounded with fear. "You two are going to take me away without even asking for my opinion?!"

Faster than her words was Crazy Mita's chainsaw. Sparks flew as it sawed through the cage. While she was dazed, Alain grabbed Kind Mita and threw her over his shoulder.

"Wh-what are you doing?!"

"Less talking!" Crazy Mita said, slapping her on the butt with a force that carried a personal grudge, immediately making the long-haired girl cry out.

"Sob, sob, sob, so mean!"

Alain also swiped the ring and quickly headed for the basement exit. The steps flew by under their feet, and the door was right before them. Got my beloved—we're golden. This was Alain's first thought as he grabbed the not-yet-Misha Kind Mita.

The moment he opened the door, the ring in his hand simultaneously changed. Its brilliance, like a submarine's light in the deep sea, illuminated the path ahead. But faster than this "change" was the feeling of weightlessness that spread throughout his body.

Whoosh.

Black light enveloped his vision, making him feel as if he were in a vortex. A weight lifted from his shoulder, as if something had disappeared. He subconsciously looked to the side. Thankfully, Crazy Mita was still there.

When the feeling of weightlessness disappeared and he opened his eyes again, he was back in the bedroom where they had started.

Pink and white intertwined before his eyes. The girl in the photo on the wall had a frozen smile, unchanged.

Just like the sound of a steel pipe hitting the ground that still echoed in his ears.
