(Shirou): “Fact is stranger than fiction”

(Shirou): Those words are said to be a line from a work done by a foreign poet.

(Shirou): “Facts may be stranger than a fiction written with imagination.”

(Shirou): That’s how the words are usually interpreted.

(Shirou): But I will have to experience these words with my own body.

(Shirou): ...

(Shirou): A character from an old writing I read once

(Shirou): "A former ruler that lurks on the dirt planet",Tsathoggua.

(Shirou): I thought that they were only from a legend, and they don’t exist in real life, that being-

Uggggh! I really don’t knoooow!

(Shirou): I would've never imagined you joining our guild and be so lazy!

The is the guild "Summoners" safe house in Shinjuku.


The guild advisor here, Shiro sighed very very heavily.

[Player]!Why again do you put such a weird nickname to a being from a legend-!
What cause Tsathoggua-san to make such a loud sound to the screen-

Tsathoggua expression anger.png

Nothing nothing- I just can’t manage to beat this stage’s boss!

Tsathoggua expression anger.png

not translated yet lolol

What Tsathoggua is pointing at with his big finger is the TV screen-
and on there there's a melancholic sound of electronic sounds- "pico pico"


A group of dots forming some sort of animal was running around on the small screen, blowing fire along the way.


Tsathoggua expression anger.png

I even went to the hidden side of the game to get this weapon, but it’s not doing any damage.

Tsathoggua expression sad.png

And I can't even save the progress. The setting makes this game too hard

Tsathoggua expression shock.png

And also there are two untold death traps before the second lap of the boss room.

Tsathoggua expression anger.png

If I say the truth, this is a sh*t game!

Shirou expression anger.png

If I think about it… that is an unreasonable game!

Shirou expression shocked.png

...But stop getting so aggressive with such little matter! We all get nervous every time!

Tsathoggua expression neutral.png

But keeping that all in mind but still getting addicted is the scary side of retro games.

Tsathoggua expression joy.png

So the shit part of the game is also the good part of the game.

Tsathoggua expression anger.png

Shirou expression surprised.png

Oh yeah, that’s an old gaming console from when I wasn’t even born yet.
I wonder how you got it..

Tsathoggua expression neutral.png

I got it at an internet auction.
So there's no possibility of it being a resold console because it's not a new one.

Shirou expression shocked.png

I thought those systems were quite complicated, but you do use your energy into those types of things…

What are we going to do with him... Not avalaible
Tsathoggua expression neutral.png

Well, let's leave this topic for now...
I want you guys to go on a bit of shopping.

Shirou expression surprised.png

Shopping?

Tsathoggua expression neutral.png

Yes, shopping. I’m sure some publisher has published a strategy book for this game.

Tsathoggua expression joy.png

I'm sure it's in some second-hand book store, so I want you to go look for 'em.

Shirou expression surprised.png

If it's a second-hand book store I wanted to go too, so I won't mind-

Shirou expression surprised.png

But what if you just go out and buy it as you did with the game,
there won't be any problem isn't it...?

Tsathoggua expression neutral.png

I can’t do that.

Tsathoggua expression joy.png

I made a promise to call Hanuman and go hunting for salmon after this.

Tsathoggua expression neutral.png

So I can’t leave this place for now.

Shirou expression surprised.png

Salmon..?

Shirou expression shocked.png

And don’t spread information about this place to outsiders!?

Shirou expression anger.png

It will affect your life as well!

Tsathoggua expression joy.png

Oh, no worries. It’s an online meeting through voice chat.

Tsathoggua expression anger.png

And even if they do find out, I will beat up a pipsqueak easily so do not worry~

Shirou expression shocked.png

That's not the problem..! Haa...

Let's just go together, Shiro.
Shirou expression surprised.png

You’re right… let’s go [Player]

Tsathoggua expression joy.png

I appreciate it.
Stay safe!


With a farewell from the smiling former ruler, we went shopping to get the strategy book-


This place is one of the most second-hand book stores in the world.

Wow we came so far Being the guild manager sure seems hard Shiro-
Shirou expression happy.png

Yes.. but it’s no trouble. I had some things to do in this area anyways.

2 options (Same Response)
But Shiro... Do you know any stores where you think the book is in stock?
Shirou expression surprised.png

You're right, I never bought a strategy book so I don't know much-

Shirou expression happy.png

But let's go to the bookstore I always visit.
We can ask the bookkeeper there if the book is in stock.


[Player] is led by Shiro, and goes into a second-hand book store on the corner of the Jinbocho area

But Shiro... What an incredible place this is…


Bookshelves are going high up on every wall, and the sunburned books cover every inch of it.

There's even more book on top of the shelves and the ground,

And the environment you can see is all sepia toning; like old photos.

Shirou expression neutral.png

[Player], please wait here for a bit. I'm gonna go ask the bookkeeper if they have the book.

As soon as he finished his sentence, Shiro disappeared into the sepia shelves of books.

As a lively conversation seemed to bounce, it soon ended as a sound of two pairs of shoes came closer.

And not even a few minutes later, Shiro came out with a single book in his hand.


Shirou expression surprised.png

We found the book rather quickly.
It was on one of the shelves near the counters.

2 options (Same Response)
Wow… that sure was quick… You know a lot of things around here…
Shirou expression neutral.png

It was. I thought it’ll take way longer than that, but it was supposedly a very famous game.

Shirou expression happy.png

I heard that there are a lot of people who come to sell strategy books to the store.

Shirou expression surprised.png

Well… our initial shopping ended,but do you mind if you come with me on a book search?

Shirou expression neutral.png

I have been quite busy recently,so I haven’t gotten a chance to check out new books.

Shirou expression surprised.png

[Player],if you have any interest in books,why don't you take a look around with me?
And if you have a book you're looking for,let's try to find it together.

Shirou expression happy.png

And if you have any other concerns or questions, feel free to ask me.


[Player] decided to spend this peaceful time looking around the bookstore with Shiro.

Piles of books everywhere, words couldn't describe how much there is. Shiro looks swiftly through the back and front covers-

And sometimes picking up some books and flipping through the pages.

[Player], as if he were trying to mimic Shiro, looked through sepia letters and covers of the books.
