The S**ttiest Gyaru in the Class Confessed to Me
The vibe was great, but the girls on both sides were hot and clingy.
I must have left my teacher alone for too long, because I got a call.
“Don’t leave your teacher alone.”
The low-pitched voice speaking in cat language was incredibly powerful. Thanks to that, my mood dropped dramatically, and I was able to return to my normal state of mind.
“Sensei, you should really be careful with cat language. If your girlfriend hears it, even a 100-year love will cool down. Seriously.”
Since the teacher was being noisy, I decided to create a character for Ichika for now.
“What race should it be?”
Then, Ichika tilted her head.
“Race?”
Right.
Elves or dwarves.
I thought everyone knew about that, but it’s actually common knowledge among people who are familiar with RPGs.
Most of the time, you see other players in the world and fall in love with them.
Well, what should I do?
“Oh, this is cute♡”
While I was hesitating, Ichika decided on one.
“Ichika, this…”
“It’s cute, right?”
What was displayed on the screen was a cat girl from the beast tribe.
“Sou kun, which job should I choose?”
Me and the teacher are melee combat classes, and Aisha is a wizard. What’s missing is a healer.
“In terms of balance, a healer would be best, but a cat girl healer…wait a sec.”
The next moment, Ichika had already selected the healer class.
In this game, basic stats vary by race. Beastmen, in general, have low magic power. Instead, they have high strength and agility, making them suited for melee combat classes.
Additionally, healers must worship a deity, but many sects only allow humans to worship them.
Cat girl healers have low magic power and are limited in the gods they can worship. Furthermore, the god that cat girl healers can worship only appears in the beastman kingdom…after progressing through the game to a certain point.
Until then, they must survive using only one type of heal. In other words, they require the toughness and resourcefulness to endure even if they become a burden to the party. And due to their rarity, there is hardly any strategy information available.
…This is the kind of combination that gets listed as a “don’t do this” example in the game. It’s basically an endangered species.
Looking at Aisha, she was laughing hysterically.
“Onee chan, that’s cute♡ Cat Girl Healer is the best♡♡ If you don’t like it, just remake it♡”
When Aisha said that, Ichika replied.
“Hehe. I love cats.”
Aisha was lying.
Characters grow on you, so you can’t just remake them easily. I know plenty of people who create characters on a whim, complain about them, yet keep playing with the same character for years.
“Next, Ichika. Press the status shuffle button.”
Ichika’s character is randomly assigned stats.
“Wow.”
Amazing. Divine stats. Almost all categories are maxed out within the species. Well, intelligence is low, but…
Wouldn’t it be more useful to use a staff to beat enemies to death instead of healing magic?
“Is my character amazing?”
When Ichika asked, Aisha praised her lavishly.
“Wow, that’s amazing ! I’ve been playing XX Online for a while, but I’ve never seen a cat girl healer like Ichika chan before. I’m surprised.”
Well, I’ve never seen one either, such an endangered species. In a way, it is an amazing character.
Ichika likes it, so I guess it’s fine. I’m not going to take it too seriously anyway.
At that time, I didn’t know.
A few years later, a charismatic player of the cat girl healer would be born in XX Online.
I logged into the world.
A scenic view spread out before my eyes.
Ichika’s profile as she stared at the tablet was sparkling, and it reminded me of the first time I played an MMORPG game.
“Sou kun, this is amazing !”
Ichika took my hand.
Maybe an in-game date isn’t so bad after all.
Ichika was also turned off by Nagisa sensei’s way of speaking, but we managed to meet up and start the game.
First, we needed to complete a quest to open the chat channel.
“Aisha, which quest do you think is best to start with…”
Then, Ichika started talking to every NPC she passed by and bowing as a social action.
“Sou kun, this person is really quiet… Maybe they’re just shy because they’re from a different world?”
No, NPCs don’t get shy, do they? Without them, the game wouldn’t progress…
And then, the next moment.
Ichika was lost.
“Sou kun, I don’t know where this is…”
That was close…
If she hadn’t been next to me, we would have parted ways forever in the beginner’s village.
It would be troublesome if she got lost again, so let’s form a party of four. If we form a party, we can accept quests simultaneously, which is convenient.
Before I knew it, Ichika was gone again.
“Sou kun, this person is pitiful. Her child hasn’t come back from running an errand, right? It’s okay, right? If I press this quest acceptance button?”
“Wait, wait, wait ! !”
The three of us rushed to stop Ichika.
“What? I already accepted it.”
The quest that could be accepted from that NPC was the most infamous quest in the history of XX Online. It was the legendary lost quest that had driven countless beginners to quit the game.
