Chapter 33: Elf Graduation
Sometimes, cheat techniques you prepare can go undiscovered—even in console games occasionally.
"Wow, you came up with another really tricky strategy…"
"This one’s easy, though."
Top Chat: Totally unreliable!
Top Chat: (Easier than a one-frame timing, at least)
"Once you catch your foot on the wall, all you have to do is face perpendicular to it and jump forward."
Top Chat: Wait, seriously?
Top Chat: Kirishitan, try it!
"Elf, can you take over?"
"Mm."
I pushed the keyboard I’d been using toward Kirishitan.
"…Huh, yeah, that is actually pretty easy."
Top Chat: H U M A N G R A D U A T E D
Top Chat: E L F E N T E R S S C H O O L
Top Chat: …Is this a school now?
"Also, when you first hook onto the wall with a jump, aim for this little protrusion."
"Small… but yeah, there’s something there."
"I’m not saying you can climb walls for no reason, either."
Top Chat: Come to think of it, Elf found broken walls in Gunfield and jumped over them
Top Chat: But does that mean she’d think of something like this right away?
Top Chat: Well, it’s Elf
Top Chat: Stop answering all our questions with absolute annihilation
"Probably, the developers made it intentionally."
"Based on…?"
"This game records clear times, right? This method clears the game, but your time is slower."
Top Chat: Huh? That’s actually a plausible reason
Top Chat: Really, is that it?
"…《Next Fire》 is a multi-end game branching based on clear time. Elf might actually be right with her guess."
Top Chat: Wow
Top Chat: A hidden safety measure that never got publicized
Top Chat: That actually exists?
Top Chat: Only happens with low-profile indie games, huh
"So, what do we play next?"
Top Chat: Dazzling smile
Top Chat: She really looks like she’s having fun
Top Chat: Kind of feels guilty
"Guilty?"
"Come on! Lambs and Elf viewers! Since we have the chance, pick a fun-looking game! We’ll buy it now and play it immediately!"
Top Chat: Ah, okay
Top Chat: I vote for ‘Yami Yori Izuru Mono’
Top Chat: I agree
Top Chat: Agreed
Top Chat: Same here
"Guilty…?"
"Alright, alright! The game’s decided, so let’s get started! Elf, stop dawdling!"
"Mm, alright."
Top Chat: I’m laughing so hard
Top Chat: Shh!
Top Chat: Zip your mouth!
Kirishitan quickly purchased the game from a download site without even reading the overview. Then, she started the download. Huh. It’ll take a while to finish.
"So, the soldiers don’t move."
Top Chat: Soldiers?
Top Chat: What are you talking about?
Top Chat: Ah, got it. Gunfield, right
Top Chat: Oh… right, Elf was super happy during the loading screen
Top Chat: Huh, what? That happened?
Top Chat: Go back and check the archive
Top Chat: If you don’t get the credits, Elf won’t graduate
Top Chat: …What happens when even Elf graduates?
"The control instructions are showing."
"Right. I’ll memorize them before the game starts."
Top Chat: If it’s Elf, I wouldn’t be surprised if she learned it in one glare
Top Chat: Hahaha, that’d be hilarious
"I memorized it."
"Already!?"
Top Chat: Is there really someone who would do that, lol!
Top Chat: Lmao
Top Chat: Only idiots could do that~
Top Chat: Child, lol
Top Chat: It’s Elf~
Top Chat: Elf-san, have you always had such a good memory?
"Hmm…? …Oh, now that you mention it, my memory might actually be getting better."
Top Chat: Too slow!
Top Chat: Way too slow!
Top Chat: Could you at least feel a little awkward about it?
"You guys don’t usually check things like, ‘how many seconds it takes to memorize a page of the phone book,’ do you?"
Top Chat: Well… no, not really?
Top Chat: That example is kinda weird, isn’t it?
Top Chat: Feels like someone actually tried that
Top Chat: Also, the unit is in seconds…
"I wonder what’s in this head of mine?"
"Ugh, don’t shake me."
"If a screw popped out of my hair part and I confessed, ‘Actually, I’m an android,’ that’d be annoying, huh?"
Top Chat: TS Elf Princess Android
Top Chat: Too many attributes colliding
Top Chat: More like a chain-reaction accident, lol
Top Chat: So if Elf graduates, she becomes an android…?
