I’m back. I’m very tired.
83：Anonymous (17:50)
>>82 Are you okay?!? Did you find the white figure? Don’t sleep even if you are tired!
84：No Longer Human (22:09)
Wait a minute, I don’t remember lying on the ground.
85：Anonymous (17:51)
>>84 Get up! If you lie down, you will fall asleep! Why are you lying down?!
86：Anonymous (17:52)
>>82 Can you give us the breaking news? What happened?!
87：No Longer Human (22:06)
That figure was, how do I say this, not a lady… I am so disappointed.
It was more like a lump of slimy rotten meat? All in all, it was disgusting. It rushed at me without saying anything. I had to cut the figure into pieces with the fire ax. But because I’m not a special fighter, it took me several hits to finish it off. I’m so tired that I don’t even want to move a finger.
Will I die peacefully in this dream world if I fall asleep here? It seems like a good option.
88：Anonymous (17:54)
DO! NOT! SLEEP!
89：Anonymous (17:54)
What the… was it really a monster??? It’s like you are getting a level 10 boss when you are level 1… I’m starting to get goosebumps.
90：Anonymous (17:56)
>>87 Mr. No Longer Human, please get out of the coach as soon as you arrive at the station, and then try to ignite the fire. Please chat with us and stay awake. If you fall asleep, you’ll probably become a monster.
91：Anonymous (17:57)
>>90 Maybe the monster was just someone who had fallen asleep on the train and didn’t wake up?
92：No Longer Human (22:02)
>>90 Then you should try to chat with me. I don’t want to become a monster but I’m REALLY tired..
93：Anonymous (17:59)
Wow, anyone that was trolling earlier left I guess. They’re probably too afraid to talk now.
94：Curry (18:00)
What would you like to talk about?
Also, how do I directly reply to people? I don’t know how to use the forums.
95：Anonymous (18:00)
>>92 Think about happy things, like how you are a perfect person and we are all fat shut-ins.
96：Anonymous (18:01)
>>94 Press and hold the message you want to reply to, and then the option will pop up automatically. Click reply.
97：Anonymous (18:02)
>>95 You are encouraging self-deprecation.
98：Anonymous (18:03)
>>95 No Longer Human is somehow still alive.
99：Curry (18:04)
>>96 Is that so? Thank you.
100：Anonymous (18:04)
Ayyy, I’m number 100.
Anyway, Mr. Curry is lovely, but Mr. No Longer Human has not said anything for five to six minutes. Wake up!
101：Anonymous (18:05)
>>99 No problem. It’s not common to see a noob on the forums. Too many of them get bullied off of the site XD.
102: Curry (18:06)
>>92 What would you like to talk about?
103：No Longer Human (21:53)
>>100 I’m awake, but I’m too sleepy and too weak to move.
>>102 Let’s talk about you – do you use Curry as your user name because you like curry? It seems that only you and I have actual usernames.
104：Anonymous (18:07)
>>103 Um what is that supposed to mean? Is it required to have a username? Um no.
105：Anonymous (18:07)
>>103 You are really calm for someone who has just finished fighting some kinda monster… Are you not afraid? You better watch your back instead of goofing off?
106：Anonymous (18:08)
>>105 That’s what I’ve been saying!! This guy is crazy.
107：Curry (18:10)
>>103 I eat curry three times a week, but I don’t like it. It’s just a habit. When I saw that my user name was empty, I thought it had to be filled in, so I wrote “Curry”. Later I found that other people’s usernames were all anonymous. Now I know that only the first person who made the thread needs to have a username. I can’t change it now.
108：Anonymous (18:11)
>>108 How can you make it a habit to eat curry three times a week and not like it? You are just too precious.
109：Anonymous (18:11)
Mr. Curry, please keep chatting with Mr. No Longer Human to keep him awake. And that one guy who said that No Longer Human should stay alert – makes a good point.
110：No Longer Human (21:48）
>>107 Well, I used to have a very close friend. He really liked curry, especially super spicy curry. It was so hot that people thought that the curry contained acid. Every time I went with him, I had to prepare myself for a long time.
111：Anonymous (18:13)
>>110 You have close friends?! I thought that you would be considered an enemy of the people with that attitude of yours.
112：Anonymous (18:14)
>>110 Wait, “used” to be a close friend? Did y’all break up or something?
113：Anonymous (18:15)
I’m surprised that even though you are so rude, you’ll accompany your friends to eat fiery curry even though you hate spicy foods.
114：No longer Human （21:45）
>>112 Yes, he used to be. He’s gone now – to the grave.
115：Anonymous (18:15)
——— Ouch my heart
116：Anonymous (18:16)
>>114 …Wow, I’m sorry about that man. I shouldn’t have asked.
117：No Longer Human (21:43)
>>116 It doesn’t matter. It was four years ago.
What’s more interesting is that Curry seems very similar to my old friend. It makes me feel a little better! But if I die here, can I see my friend as a ghost?
>>>>>>>>>To be continued.
118: White Tern (24:22)
>>117 Honey no, keep hope! I’m glad you’re comforted but we’re not gonna let you die, hold on!
119：No Longer Human (24:23)
>>118 It’s OK. There’s no danger now, but it won’t be for a while…
