Chapter 12

Fragment: Where Did the Water Not Overflow from the Tray Go?

Livia was feeling somewhat frustrated.

She had returned home alone, driven by her desire to watch a particular TV program. However, leaving her beloved (even though they were technically just an โ€œother personโ€) behind during their date felt like a waste.

With time still left until the TV show aired, she busied herself with preparing dinner and setting the table. But thenโ€ฆ

Crash!

Her hand slipped, and she accidentally broke a plate.

โ€œUgh,โ€ she sighed.

โ€œGuess Iโ€™ll have to buy a new oneโ€ฆโ€

With that thought, Livia cleaned up the broken plate and opened the refrigerator.

As expected, she realized she had forgotten to buy milk.

โ€œOops, no milk,โ€ she murmured, shoulders slumping in disappointment.

โ€œGuess I need to go shopping.โ€

โ—†

The supermarket was crowded.

Still, spending time shopping with her son, Kevin, was a rare and precious moment for Fleur. Despite the inconvenience, she felt surprisingly calm.

Kevin, on the other hand, looked thoroughly bored as he reluctantly accompanied her. Apparently, there was a TV special about his favorite exotic animals airing today, and he wanted to get home quickly.

Being at the supermarket wasnโ€™t his idea of fun either.

โ€œLetโ€™s go, Mom,โ€ Kevin said, half-dragging Fleur out of the store, carrying half the groceries.

She smiled and followed him.

โ€ฆTomorrow would be another busy day, but having her son by her side made Fleur feel like she could handle it.

โ€œItโ€™s Fleur Knight, isnโ€™t it?โ€

Was the absence of people in that place truly a coincidence?

A slender man stood before them.

There was clearly intention behind his appearance, and the fact that there was nobody else around was likely not by chance.

โ€œMomโ€ฆโ€

Sensing the unsettling atmosphere, Fleur placed a hand on her sonโ€™s shoulder and addressed the man in front of her.

โ€œWho are you?โ€

โ€œLet me be blunt. Your power is needed โ€” youโ€™re the last knight.โ€

โ€โ€ฆโ€

โ€œThis city operates on the premise that something must be sacrificed, hidden behind the neon glow. There are comrades here who fight together.โ€

โ€You know this, donโ€™t you?โ€™

The man continued.

โ€œEven now, someone is being sacrificed, serving as the source of light. Do you not think this reality is wrong?โ€

She had a premonition.

Fleur could feel it.

The beginning of a story. Perhaps this was the beginning of everything, or maybe it was the end.

Soโ€ฆ

โ€œPervert alert!!!โ€

With all her might, she shouted from her gut.

โ€œIndecent exposure freak!!!โ€

โ€œNo, no, Iโ€™m properlyโ€” darn it.โ€

Footsteps approached.

Sensing it, the man who seemed to notice hastily turned and bolted.

A lone girl ran toward them.

โ€œAre you okay?!โ€

โ€œY-yeah, there was a suspicious person. But they ran off that way.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆGot it, Iโ€™ll contact the police just in case, okay?โ€

The girl took out her phone and began making a call.

โ€œMom?โ€

With a worried expression, her son looked up at Fleur, and she gently stroked his head.

โ€œItโ€™s alright, Kevin.โ€

Even if the world is calling for heroesโ€ฆ

โ€ฆI wonโ€™t let you be a heroโ€™s sacrifice.

โ—†

Finally allowed to leave the scene after explaining to the police, Livia muttered to herself.

โ€œAbout that thing earlier, the sacred swordโ€ฆ well, does it really matter?โ€

She sighed, looking up at the sky.

Not a single cloud in sight in the starry sky, yet her heart remained heavy.

โ€œItโ€™s already nightโ€ฆโ€

Just by chance, there was a presence there โ€“ the strongest. A Japanese-style RPG based on modern times, โ€œNeon Lightโ€. I, who spent my life on that game and loved it so much that I played it over and over again, am now standing on the stage of that dream โ€“ no, I was reincarnated. The character I was reincarnated as is a young man in a tired salaryman style named โ€œLux,โ€ whom I have never seen even in conversations, a strong character that makes you worry if the game balance will collapse. Despite living quietly to not ruin the scenario of the beloved gameโ€ฆ saving characters who were supposed to die, being respected by the final boss more than the original protagonist โ€“ how did this happen!? An out-of-setting character unconsciously overpowering!? A new sensation, an otherworldly fantasy!
