[Blue Archive] Abydos' Suicidal Hopeful

I Have to Die to Go Home. EP.1

"Fuck. That really fucking hurts."

I was sure that with the world's strongest handgun, I could finally die, but all it did was hurt like hell. Not a drop of blood, let alone death.

I holstered the 44 Magnum in my hand and decided to admire the sky again.

"The sky's so clear~ My heart, on the other hand, is anything but."

What kind of name is Sora? Maybe Kumori Sora (Cloudy Sky) would have been better.

Right, Sora. Sky. That's my name in this place.

So why is it that I, a true-blooded Korean, am using a Japanese name?

Why? Because I was forcefully reincarnated, that's why. And into Blue Archive, a Korean game, no less.

"Fuck... Where am I now..."

At the time, I had finished a hard day's work and definitely fell asleep in my own home. But when I opened my eyes, I found myself in Kivotos.

With long, sky-blue hair and sky-blue eyes, in a body that was way too young.

[I sincerely apologize for suddenly summoning you here.]

Along with a strange message floating before my eyes.

[But you were the only one, the only one who could fulfill my request, so I had no choice but to call upon you.]

[You are currently in the autonomous district of Abydos, a place facing difficulties due to ongoing desertification.]

[Not only that, but due to the desertification, many residents have emigrated, leaving the area almost deserted. Abydos High School, once the wealthiest institution here, is now burdened with a massive debt of 900 million yen, making it a less than ideal place, to say the least.]

[My request is simple: please save the child who is currently standing alone, guarding Abydos High School – Takanashi Hoshino. I beg you.]

[You don't have to do anything grand. You don't need to pay off the debt or stop the desertification.]

[Just being by her side is enough.]

[Please don't leave that child alone.]

[Of course, it might be difficult. Perhaps, just perhaps, your life might be in danger.]

[But don't worry. Even if you lose your life, you will simply return to your original world without any change in time.]

So, I'm truly sorry to ask this of you, but I beg you.]

[Please save that child, Hoshino.]

The message ended there.

And my reaction to this message, naturally, was

"Stop bullshitting and send me home, fuck..."

It couldn't be anything but negative.

Suddenly, they TS reincarnate me into Kivotos and then what? Save someone? Fuck, save who? I'm the one who needs saving.

And most importantly,

"Isn't Hoshino going to be saved later anyway..."

I played Blue Archive, so I know who Hoshino is.

Takanashi Hoshino. A third-year student in the original story, the vice president of the Abydos Countermeasures Committee, and a character with one of the greatest mysteries in Kivotos.

She has a tragic past, but she's a character who gets saved later by the juniors who join and the existence of a teacher.

In other words, even if she's alone now, juniors will join soon, so why should I save her?

I only know the character from afar, with no connection or memories.

What? You feel sorry for her? Just invest three years? If I die, I go back to my original world without any change in time, so it's okay?

You can say that because you don't know.

What if that's a lie? What if they made up an impossible task to put me at ease? How can I be sure that's true?

And above all, this "return if you die" thing is the biggest headache.

When do people usually think they'll die?

Let's say around 100 years old.

If my current body is about 15 years old, that means I have to live here for 85 years.

Can you really keep all your memories of your original world intact for that long?

At least, I don't think I can.

Even if I just have to invest three years and then die, three years isn't short, and besides,

"Dying isn't easy..."

Besides being scared, how can someone with a Halo that blocks bullets die easily...?

But,

"If I can't die, then I can't go home..."

It's an unfair situation, but in the end, there's only one choice.

If I want to go home, I have to die.

While I can still remember my original world.
