Brilliant Star Air Force - Chapter 1

Location: Game Research Club Room

Sora: HaHa~♪ Shisho~, hello! When you enter a room, you greet the people inside!

Natsume: HeY, SoRA. I’ve been waiting for yOU ♪

Sora: HiHi~♪ Shisho~, why did you call Sora here? Could there be a new job for Switch~?

But in that case, isn’t it strange that Senpai isn’t here?

Natsume: WeLL, I told him to join uS, but he said he’s tied up with doing Library Committee work and can’t coME.

SheeSH, isn’t this way too impertinent of SenpAI?

WeLL, since Sora is heRE, that’s already plenty for mE ♪ Shaggy Glasses would just be an extra anyhOW.

Sora: Hm~? Does that mean you only need to talk to Sora?

Natsume: That’s rigHT. As a matter of faCT, a job offer for you has come iN, SoRA. They would like to know if you want to be the campaign boy for a certain gaME.

Sora: A campaign boy for a game..? Sora is curious what kind of game it is!

Natsume: Fufu, do you know this oNE, SoRA?

Sora: HuHu~! Of course! That’s a really famous game~♪ Sora plays this series all the time!

Natsume: I sEE. The first installment of the series was released a fairly long time aGO, but it saw a resurgence in popularity thanks to online reviews and is now considered highly populAR ♪

The game revolves around the main charactER, who rides a flying rifle through the sky and defeats monsteRS, all while delivering packages he’s been entrusted with to their destinatioNS.

Sora: Yes! The way he flies about in the sky, up and down, looks like it’d feel good!

Natsume: I get what you meAN. Being able to fly around like that would probably make you feel like you’re in a dreAM ♪

They said they’d release another game in this series in a few yeaRS, and it’s going to be an online game with a focus on having stellar graphiCS. I have high expectations for iT.

In order to increase their market share furthER, it looks like the company behind it is planning a campaign to go along with the releaSE.

And that’s where Sora comes iN. They’d like you to become the protagonist and perform as him in evenTS.

Sora: HeHe~, so they’re asking for Sora as an individual? But why~?

Natsume: The main character in the new game is apparently the spitting image of yOU, that’s wHY.

Remember how we launched the Switch VR systEM, SVRS for shoRT, with Yuuki-kun the other dAY*?

The graduate from the Game Club who helped us back then is involved with the development of this gaME, you sEE.

ApparentLY, he saw you during the explanatory meeting for the SVRS’s speCS.

FuFU, it seems that you resembled the game’s main character so much he was completely flabbergastED. After thAT, he sent you this formal work request through the schoOL.

I think it sounds like a good opportuniTY, but of course it’s up to you whether you want to take on this job or nOT, SoRA.

Sora: HoHo~! Sora is so happy to have received a job offer! And if Sora works hard at that job, it’ll put Switch in a good light~♪

Natsume: Yep yEP, you’re absolutely rigHT. As expected of yOU, SoRA ♪

I guess that means it’s okay for me to formally accept this job for yOU. I’ll get in touch with thEM.

Sora: Yes! Thank you, Shisho~!

Natsume: You’re welcoME. I can’t wait to see Sora turn into that game’s main charactER...♪

Sora: ……….

Natsume: ...Hm? What’s the mattER, SoRA? You seem lost in thought all of a suddEN.

Sora: Sora decided to accept the job offer! But, what does Sora have to do to become that game’s main character..?

Sora has never flown on a flying rifle, nor has he ever fought with a monster~?

Natsume: WeLL, I don’t think there’s anyone who ever had those kinds of experiencES. But you’re not satisfied with thAT, rigHT?

Sora: Exactly! Sora wants to understand that character better! Does Shisho~ have any advice how Sora can do that?

Natsume: FufuFU. To that question I can only reply “YeS”. In faCT, I predicted this course of events and already came up with a plan for what to do neXT.

Sora: Uwaah! Shisho~ really is amazing! What kind of plan is it~?

Natsume: I call it “Sora’s Delivery ServiCE” ♪

Sora: “Sora’s Delivery Service”? That gives off a fun “color”~♪

Natsume: I thought that if you were to carry out the same job as the main character from the gaME, your understanding of him would deepen for suRE.

Within this schoOL, countless items are delivered every day in persON.

On some daYS, the amount of packages is so high that the school offers part-time delivery jobs to studeNTS.

I am planning to accept this part-time job together as SwitCH. WeLL, I don’t expect anything from SenpAI, but I’m going to get him involved anywAY.

If it goes weLL, we can also earn some money for Switch’s activity funDS. It’s two birds with one stoNE...♪

Sora: HaHiHuHeHo~! Sora’s gonna have his own delivery service!

Natsume: AhaHA. The way you announced that while raising both of your arms as high as you cAN… You’re too cuTE, SoRA ♪

Brilliant Star Air Force - Chapter 2

Location: Library

Tsumugi: Ummm..?

Aah, there it is. It got mixed up into that other author’s shelf on accident.

One kanji aside, the names of these two authors are identical, so students sometimes return their books to the wrong shelf~.

Just gotta put that book back on the correct shelf… There. Alright, with this, I pretty much finished organizing the books for today ♪

All that’s left are the bottom shelves.

Oh, huh? If it isn’t Anzu-chan.

Ah, you came to return these books before their loan periods expire~. Fufu, thanks for conscientiously abiding by the library rules.

Okay, they’re all here and accounted for...♪ I’ll be putting these books back in their cozy homes, then.

...Hm? What’s wrong, why are you grabbing my sleeve?

Hum, hum. Aah, you also want to borrow some new books. Of course, I’d be delighted ♪

If you tell me what kind of books you’re looking for, I can recommend some…

Ah, uwah!?

S-s-s-something just flew over my head at breakneck speed and almost grazed me!

I turned around, but there’s nothing to see! W-what on earth was that?! A bug, a bird, or maybe a plane~!?

...Huh? It looked like a drone to you, Anzu-chan...?

Ah, looks like it’s coming back here.

...Hmm? I guess it really is a drone. But what’s a drone doing in the library…?

Oh? Now it’s flying right up to us. It looks like it’s carrying a book…?

Sora (not visible): “HaHa~! Sora is here to return this book!”

Tsumugi: Wawah, the drone suddenly let out a voice!

Umm… Is that voice by any chance Sora-kun?

Sora (not visible): “Yes! When you’re called by your name, you respond!”

“Senpai, Sora is sorry for startling you earlier! Sora isn’t used to these steering controls yet, so he went too fast~.”

Tsumugi: Ahaha. Incredible, we can actually hold a real conversation through this drone ♪

Yup yup, it certainly was exceedingly dangerous, but it’s okay since you didn’t actually crash into me.

Natsume (not visible): “As if the drone could ever crash into yOU. It’s equipped with an enhanced obstacle detection and evasion systEM, you knOW.”

“Or maybe I should supplement it with a new system that doesn’t consider Senpai in particular an obstacLE ♪”

Tsumugi: But that would mean that it would only crash into me. How cruel! And so dangerous, too!

...Huh? Just now, Natsume-kun’s voice sounded like it came from somewhere really close by…

Sora (appearing): HiHi~♪ Sorry for intruding!

Natsume (appearing): SheeSH, you made way too much of a fuss over that drone flying at yOU, SenpAI.

Tsumugi: Ah, Sora-kun and Natsume-kun, you came all the way here. Hello~♪

Natsume: We already saw your face through the drone’s cameRA, so spare me the greetinGS, will yOU.

Hey theRE, little kittEN. Of courSE, I could also see you clearLY ♪

Tsumugi: Uu, I saw this coming, but the way you treat the two of us really is like night and day.

Sora: Senpai, Sora is still waiting for you to accept this book~? Deliveries need to be transferred to their final destination!

Tsumugi: Deliveries? Aah, so all I need to do is accept the book from the drone as it’s landing?

In that case, if you’ll allow me. Hup...

Sora: HuHu~! Senpai received the book! Delivery complete!

Natsume: YeAH, a job well doNE ♪ You were successfully able to return the book I borrowED.

Judging from this rest rUN, nothing will stand in the way of “Sora’s Delivery Service”’s launCH.

Tsumugi: “Sora’s Delivery Service”...? Hmm~, for some reason I can’t follow the conversation in the slightest, just what is going on here?

Sora: Sora has gotten a job as a campaign boy for a game! It’s a popular game about flying on rifles and delivering packages~♪

Tsumugi: Aah, you mean that famous game? Even I’ve heard of that one ♪ And you’re going to be the campaign boy for it? That’s amazing, Sora-kun.

Sora: HeHe~, it seems like Sora looks just like the main character of that game, so he’s supposed to become that character!

But in order to do that, Sora needs to understand the character a lot more!

Tsumugi: Hmm, I see…? I think I’ve gotten the gist of it. So basically, that’s why you’re doing this “Sora’s Delivery Service”?

Sora: Yes! In order to understand his character more, Sora is going to work the same delivery job as the main character!

Natsume: Only within the range of the school grounDS, thouGH. There happened to be school part-time jobs open for iT, and we are planning to take on every single one of thEM.

And we just so happened to have this drone that we inherited from the Game Club graduate during the development of the SVRS, which I enhanced in a number of waYS.

Tsumugi: I see~. The drone startled me when it flew past me initially, but the package was successfully delivered in the end.

And above all, doing an express delivery service via drone sounds fun ♪

Fufu, you think so too, Anzu-chan?

Alright, after hearing your explanation, I’d be glad to lend a hand ♪ Although I may only be fit to do the book-keeping and receptionist duty.

Natsume: If you’re capable of doing those thinGS, it’s already plenTY. Even though it’s yOU, SenpAI.

Senpai: Eeh, I can’t tell if you’re praising or belittling me!

Sora: HoHo~♪ Then Sora is in charge of flying the drone and delivering the packages, and Shisho~ will give the directions for the most efficient delivery routes~♪

He’ll also do maintenance on the drone!

Natsume: And that’s thAT. Very weLL, since we’ve come to an agreemeNT, the operations of “Sora’s Delivery Service” can begin in earnest starting tomorrOW...♪
