Ecstas Online Volume 1 Chapter 2 part8

VOLUME 1, CHAPTER  PART  8

Ten minutes after that, I was guided to my room safely by Aikawa Akiko-san. A wonderful room. This is my first time to enter it though.

The room was a stereotypical room with a evil image fit for the Demon Lord. Like it was designed by H.R Giger. Both the walls, ceilings were in total coordination, even the tables and sofas. It is a biological, or rather mechanical, though it feels like it’s living organisms from space. Yet, it reeks of superiority and wondrous rather than disgust. The lighting of the place was beautiful, imiting the atmosphere of a majestic church.

Ma~, I’m more relieved and thankful that I can relax in this area without taking my 2 meter and 30 centimeter tall body in consideration. If it was my home, my head would get stuck through the ceiling, no doubt.

In such a room, Aikawa-san sits on the sofa that used a skeleton as its frame, glaring at me with her oni-like face. By the way, I’m doing a seiza.

Arere? Isn’t this strange? Wasn’t I the strongest in the world, like the greatest person? Then why am I doing a seiza on the floor like a slave?

「Why did Aikawa-san become…. a slave? Furthermore, in such an appearance.」

「You’re annoying! It’s not like I’m doing this because I like it!」

「Right! Sorry for that!」

I said unintentionally. I then shrug my shoulders, somehow.

From our first meeting together, I didn’t know how to converse with Aikawa clearly. I’m afraid because she’s scary. She’s angry too. And it’s because of her pointing out my mistakes in submitting the wrong data.

Though I should converse with her normally, it’s hard to do so. First, I’ll ready my heart just in case. I torment my mental state by overwhelming my soul and pressing demands of ‘sandbags’ so to resist.

After all, I can’t work for this company. I’ll just stay at home, and look for a job where I don’t have to be in contact with anyone. The most promising job candidate is to become a Light Novel author and making my series very popular to the point someone will make an adaption of it.

Aikawa-san tried arranging her legs, but gave up and just closed her legs. My face reddened, then she asked a question.

「…..Did you see?」

[TL Note: Yup, you’re dead.]

「Fue~tsu!?  I, I didn’t look….W, what are you on about!?」

This is dangerous. I nearly fell into that inducted interrogation.

Aikawa-san began gritting her teeth for a while and gulped.

「I must dispose of this person soon….」

「Wait! I didn’t look at anything, I don’t even know how I’m supposed to appeal!? I won’t tell anyone about Aikawa-san’s secret! I will take it to my grave, so please don’t worry!」

[TL Note: You just dug your grave by saying you did see… broo.. wtf]

「In such a way that you’re saying that, until the death of Meguri-kun, your words of a man must be kept always. You must keep your words!」

Aikawa-san puts a hand on her forehead and rests her back.

「…..You won’t tell anyone, right?」

「Of course. I mean, I don’t have anyone to talk to anyways.」

As I said that, Aikawa-san makes an expression, but it seems like it was convincing enough for her.

「Well, there isn’t any internet here, so it’s good.」

「It is. So it’s okay until you become a criminal. Though, if you become a criminal and want to clear your resentments, it is another thing if you do something to me, Aikawa-san.」

「You’re threatening me…..not like it matters. If the time comes, I will also erase you socially using my power.」

[TL Note: Not like actual superpowers, just her powers of being a superior in a company]

「Even if you say that, it would become a war…..」

As soon as the discussion was over, Aikawa-san took my words and said.

「But, if ‘Hellshaft’ was busy, what exactly have you been doing up until now?  Have you ever seen me before?」

What are you on about?

「Etto, I guess it would be our first meeting? Oh, of course in this world.」

[TL Notes: Lies, you’ve probably only met her once too in the other world]

「Wa? What are you talking about? It’s already been six months since I came to this place. At that time, I kept asking why I was ignoring everything for a while.」

[TL Note: She means why she hasn’t looked for information on how to return, etc]

「Half a year!?」

My voice came out unintentionally. I then began to explain to Aikawa-san about the story where I’ve just woken up just a while ago.\nSo, I will be doing the Level Up Just By Eating series probably in 2-3 days, because I’m not even up to chapter 2 yet… so… sorry!
