Kenma the Cat Is Trapped in a Game

My column has lots of upcoming volleyball stories. Feel free to add them to your collection. Kenma’s perspective: Here’s what happened. I downloaded a game that was supposedly hellishly difficult. I didn’t believe it, so I spent years getting crushed by the boss day after day. Finally, one day, I defeated the boss. But she escaped from the game and smiled at me. “Happy you beat me?” Then I fainted. When I woke up again, I had become a high school student. And it seemed I’d lost my memories. Little scene “Ishihara, want to play volleyball together?” When I heard someone else invite Koto Ishihara, I didn’t try to talk them out of it. You have to suffer it yourself to know what it’s like. Koto Ishihara smiled and agreed. Then a volleyball that looked capable of killing someone slammed into the floor with a bang. The ball was nearly half buried, and white smoke billowed out in every direction. “...I almost went to receive it. I’d have lost my life on the spot!” “That power is way too terrifying.” Note: Kenma is the main viewpoint character early on. * The heroine is not human. * Contains fantasy elements. Theme: Exploring the boundary between games and reality
