A Brief Holiday

>

Babylonia Gray Raven Lounge

After clearing the game, the group rests their controllers and sits together to discuss their impressions.

So this is what a game is like, huh... It's a lot more different than what I thought they were.

So this is what a beach vacation is like in the Golden Age... I feel like trying it out for real as well! We can play real volleyball on a real beach! And even surf!

...Golden Age folks sure have a lot of ways to entertain themselves.

Yeah... Oh, I just looked up some info on the Golden Age database, and found more info on this game.

Liv displays her findings on the screen. It looks like a screenshot of the page when the game was about to be launched.

Game Intro

Memories O'n~Venus Beach is a VR casual game developed by Kuro Games.

Immersive beach vacations with a huge variety of swimsuits is its main draw. Players can enjoy a fantastic vacation with their friends through online co-op...

Preorder will start soon! Share this post to participate in a lucky draw and stand to win a limited edition of the game, as well as the limited summer edition Shark-speare plushie...

Some player comments can be seen below the re-posts.

Carry2513: Honestly, this is the game I'm looking forward to the most this year. Being able to see hotties in swimmies is pog but I can't be the only one who's drawn by the "r i c h" strategies, can I?

sparklingPeng: Replying to @Carry2513: same

Osibov: The GOTY Costume Design Award nomination brought me here. The cloth physics and rendering are so good I can't stop playing! FeelsBadMan that there's no touch, when is Kuro gonna get touch sensors in our VR? ;)

ulelkeke: Made with a team of AAA fashion designers AND they have full creative freedom. You basically get a free swimsuit fashion show! I hope they deliver... but the price for the devices is a toll on my minimum wage

shakeit: sooo much fun! spent an entire day trying on swimsuits with my friends!! The special must be Mr. P's design, I can tell at a glance! Oh and I got my bae to play and he can wear girl swimsuits lol buy it for this

dero7: Replying to @shakeit: pog

Wurd: Replying to @shakeit: nice

jo: Replying to @shakeit: damn now where do i find a bf

Claude: Replying to @shakeit: damn now where do i find a bf

BoredBored: Replying to @shakeit: damn now where do i find a bf

EsperaS: Replying to @shakeit: Yeah, but the preorders are basically all gone by day 1! How are you guys so fast?

Wadead: Oh nice the arcade games in the game hall map can actually be played!!! the level of details is nuts!! I heard Shome's private water park is opening soon too. Does this mean I can play the arcade games there too

...

...According to the available data, the game was only available for a limited pre-order once, and only a very small number of players got the game. Soon after that, the Punishing Virus happened...

So this game was never officially released...

Seemed like a lot of people were really looking forward to it. What a pity...

Nanami can make it more fun! THEN, it'll be popular again!

Why would this type of useless data be so complete? Also, it's difficult enough to get VR cartridges in po-pan. How did you find it?

Some other recon teams found it when they were tracking the Ascendants. They found this thing in a very hidden place.

They thought it was something important, but learning that it really was just a game, I asked for it and they gave it to me.

I'm more concerned about the lost information in the two melons... I have a feeling that it's not something we should ignore. Well... no way to verify it now.

This has just been... a strange ride from the start to finish.

Your visual modules must be glitched... is what I'd like to say, but you don't have them, unfortunately. Otherwise, I'd like to fix them up for you.

...You mean playing the game?

Instead of allowing these two to turn Babylonia upside down out of boredom, an activity I can oversee is more within control. I'm just making a choice with the safety of the HQ in mind.

And well... I never said that I didn't like getting together with people like this.

Sorry, Kamui, I'm late. Ah, Commandant! Everyone's here...

Lucia, who seems to have finished her personal training, walks into the lounge and is surprised by the liveliness. Her gaze falls to the controller in Kamui's hand.

You completed your mission?

You pause for a few seconds, before realizing that Lucia is referring to the in-game mission.

All clear! But after clearing the level, we unlocked the Nightmare difficulty level. Lucia, you need to try this!

...Okay, then. I will break the highest score this time.

Wait! Don't forget about me!

I've been behind you from a while ago! How could you ignore me for so long!

...Well, I didn't want to disturb your game! I know I hate being disturbed when I'm focused on something!

Oh right! 1v1 me! I definitely won't lose to you in a game!

...

Let me see how this thing is played first!

...You can't like, install some explosives on this ball? Just passing it around is completely non-lethal!

Whatever! I won't lose anyway!

Karenina drags Lucia into a duel of balls. Kamui and Nanami are acting as referees, and Liv and Lee are sitting on the sidelines watching.

...Finally. A short break in this never-ending war.

Everyone here must have similar wishes in their hearts.

——Let this holiday go on, for a little longer.
