There was no time limit to the game, and it lasted for six hours.
The adrenaline and dopamine secreted from their brains made the siblings forget the fact that they had been pulling all-nighters for five days and dispelled all their fatigue. The two of them, especially Bai, were able to concentrate to the limit.
Although it was only six hours, it felt like it had been a few days.
Finally, the winner was decided.
“YouWin！”
An emotionless voice came from the speakers.
The siblings, who had won, collapsed on their chairs.
"…"
After a long silence.
"Ahhhhhhh —"
Taking a deep breath, Haku looked up at Sky.
"… Brother, we won …"
"Haha, this is the first time I've seen you in a tough battle, right?"
"… Amazing … Brother, this … AI … is so strange …"
"Yeah, could it be that someone is controlling it from behind? Wait a minute! Why did the hacker send us this game? "
Looking at the victory on the screen, Sky scratched his head.

"Lost … I actually lost … I actually lost …"
Eight-cloud Ink's mouth was wide open as he stared blankly at the screen.
"I cheated … and still lost …"
"To suppress that girl, I even used four rune cards at the highest point … and still lost …"
"That girl … Haku … is she really human? Did Lord Four Seasons secretly do something to her when she was reincarnated? "
Ashina looked at Eight-cloud Ink, whose aura had become extremely weak, and patted his head to comfort him.
"You're a man, Mo, you're not good at games!"
"But I cheated to such an extent, and I still lost …"
"I even increased the accuracy of my own machine to weaken the power of the opponent's bullets …"
"But … But … Haku still passed without any damage!!!"
"Daddy seems to have broken down …"
Yui tilted her head in distress, and Orange Meow and Misaka also tilted their heads. "Meow (Misaka)?"
Tetu thought for a moment, and walked up to Eight-cloud Ink. "Father, I'll avenge you!"
As the God of Games, there was an uncontrollable excitement in the eyes of the cute little boy.
Clearly, he was deeply attracted to the siblings' gaming skills.
"Pa —"
Eight-cloud Ink slapped Tetu's shoulder.
"— Good luck!"
Ashina looked at the situation in front of her and found it funny.
[I haven't seen this side of Mo in a long time …]
○
In the room, the image on the monitor changed again.
This time, the same dialog box popped up.
[Very good, you've won, Father. It's my turn now.]
"… Brother, I think … there's still …"
"Ahhhh … How long are we going to play! I'm so tired! "
"Father … Milord …? How strange … Generally speaking … Shouldn't it be the old one … that comes out … after beating up … the young one? "
"That's right. Why is it reversed this time?"
○
"The old one …"
Eight-cloud Ink's aura became even lower.
"… So unknowingly, I can already be described as' old '."
○
"Ahhh … it's chess this time? Bai, are you okay? "
Kong looked at his sister Bai worriedly. The girl's head was moving bit by bit, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.
"… It's okay … Brother …"
Although Bai looked like she was in a daze, her hand movements were not slow at all.
Kong opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything. He changed his position and hugged his sister to make her feel more comfortable.
And so, after a while —
The winner was decided, and the winner was still the Kannan siblings.
○
"That was so exciting!"
Tto's cute little face lit up.
"I didn't expect there to be such amazing people. It was so exciting!"
This time, Eight-cloud Ink had to take the Kannan siblings' gaming ability seriously.
Winning against Eight-cloud Ink was nothing. He admitted that he did not have any talent in gaming, but to be able to defeat his child, the God of Games, Tto, made Eight-cloud Ink very surprised.
Not only that, Ashina, Yui, and Misaka also looked at the Kannan siblings in disbelief.
Although Orange Meow did not understand why the people around it were surprised, it still pretended to understand everything. It shook its pair of cat ears, wagged its tail, and meowed.
"It seems that compared to here, they are more suitable for Disbode."
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
"So, Tto, what do you think? Should we bring them over? "
The cute little boy thought for a while and replied, "Yeah."
"Well, I think we should ask for their opinion first." Asuna raised his hand and said, "Why do you say that pulling someone into another world requires the consent of the person involved?"
"That's right. If that's the case —"

— Ding Ling
The sound of an incoming mail rang again.
"Could it be the opponent from the battle just now? Hey, open it. "
"… Yeah, yeah."
This time, there was only one sentence in the mail.
[That was so exciting! With this kind of ability, they must be able to live comfortably in this world, right?]
That sentence alone made the two's mood drop to the freezing point.
In the quiet room, there was only the light of the display screen and indicator lights, as well as the sound of the fans from the computers and game consoles.
There were wires scattered everywhere, clothes that were thrown aside after being changed, and cups of noodles that were piled up in the corner after being eaten.
Thick curtains blocked out the sunlight from the outside world.
Isolated from the rest of the world, the sixteen tatami-sized rooms were all the siblings had.
Due to a congenital defect, the brother who was too good at reading people's words and hearts.
Due to the extremely high intellect, white hair, and red eyes, there was no sister who could understand him.
Even their parents did not care about them. They were forever separated by heaven and man, and finally, the brother and sister who sealed their hearts.
"Ha … You're at ease?"
Kong shook his head as if he was mocking him.
Then, a new mail was sent to the inbox.
After opening it, it said:
[If there is a world where everything is decided by games, with such amazing talents, are you willing to abandon everything and go there?]
This time, there were two completely opposite options below:
[Yes or No]
There was a long silence that made people feel oppressed.
"Hey, my cute sister!"
"… Brother?"
"Do you still remember what I said?"
"… What?"
"The real world is just a trashy game with unclear rules and goals."
From a societal point of view, the siblings were complete failures.
The young sister was dejected, and Kong smacked his lips discontentedly.
Suddenly, he said fiercely, "If everything is really decided by games, then that world should be where we exist!"
"… Brother."
The siblings looked at each other and nodded.
They pointed the mouse at the option of [Yes] and pressed it.
Then …
Their vision was dyed white.
Because they had been in a dark room for a long time, the siblings who were temporarily blinded by the strong light suddenly screamed in panic.
When their pupils finally got used to the light and returned to normal.
"Wah wah wah wah wah —!!!"
It was a grotesque world.
This was the current situation that the siblings saw.
Islands were floating in the air.
Dragons were flying in the sky at the end of their vision.
Across the horizon, huge chess pieces could be seen in the depths of the mountains. They were so huge that they even made people lose their sense of distance.
No matter how they looked at it, it no longer looked like they were on Earth.
The siblings' rapidly falling bodies suddenly stopped, and just like that, they strangely floated in mid-air.
Shivering, Haku curled up in her brother's arms, tears in the corner of her eyes, and cried out sadly.
Although Kong was scared, he subconsciously hugged his sister and tried to twist his body so that he was below her — this way, if they fell to the ground, he could at least cushion Haku's back.
This action made the people of Eight-cloud Ink who were watching in the dark — especially Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina — nod their heads.
"Then, although you may not understand, but — we meet again, Kong, Haku."
With Ashina and the others, Eight-cloud Ink appeared in front of the siblings.
They stared blankly at Eight-cloud Ink, and then looked at Ashina, Yui, Orange Meow, Misaka, and Tetu a few times.
The brother and sister suddenly spoke at the same time.
"Honzimo!!!!!"
