Every Day, I Search for a Way to Bring Peace to Yokohama

Shibubo Ryoko, an overworked office worker reminiscing about her school days, finally found a peaceful, relaxing school-life minigame that met her standards in a large-scale immersive game. Little did she know it would lead her down a road of no return.

[The way to school is full of unexpected dangers. Please be careful ☆]

Shibubo Ryoko glanced at her malicious navigation system and laughed.

What could possibly be dangerous? The worst that could happen was getting lost.

[:)]

...Wait, what?

Unaware of how dangerous the game was, she somehow got stuck on a difficult level. She even tried taking the sky route and going through the sewers to get to school. After dying countless times, she finally managed to avoid the dangerous thugs fighting by the roadside, the stray kitten trying to waste her time while she was lost, the drowned ghost that lured passersby into the water, and the stray dog that chased her down to bite her every day...

At last! She saw the school gates just before the bell rang!

Then she watched as a dark, red-glowing thing that had flown in from who knows where smashed straight through the school.

What a joke! What kind of game is this?

They say the way to solve a problem is to deal with whoever set it. In a fit of rage, Shibubo Ryoko charged straight into the enemy's headquarters and arrested every NPC who might get in her way. Only then could she finally sit in the classroom and clear the level.

But she hadn't expected this to unlock Hell Mode. Now the problem was how to get home safely after school.

Shibubo Ryoko cursed as she quit the game. The next day, she saw a supervisor from the main office, sent over for fieldwork and an inspection. He looked suspiciously like the dark thing that had smashed through the school in the game.

Shibubo Ryoko: I don't even feel like laughing anymore.jpg

There was a swear word on the tip of her tongue, but should she say it?

"Have you heard of the urban legend called [Lost Girl JK]?"

"They say she's the ghost of a high school girl who died in an accident on her way to school. At four in the morning, she wanders through the city, asking passersby for directions to a school they've never heard of."

"If she talks to you and asks for directions, don't panic. Just calmly give them to her as if nothing's wrong. You can refuse if she asks you to take her there, but stay calm. And don't try to tell her that the school doesn't exist or explain the truth about her death, or else..."

Or else what?

Victim No. 1: ...You won't die, but she'll toss you into an orange. It's so embarrassing!

Victim No. 2: Why did I get obliterated??

Victim No. 3: Nothing bad will happen. She's a kind ghost from an urban legend! Though she is always getting lost.

Victim No. 4: Thanks to this ghost, the city's once-terrifying nights have become much more peaceful...
