After Story: Log_Simulation Earth Defense Force
Pero, listen carefully. Youre actually a brain in a vat1In philosophy, the brain in a vat is a scenario used in a variety of thought experiments intended to draw out certain features of human conceptions of knowledge, reality, truth, mind, consciousness, and meaning..
A brain in a vat? Whats that?
Ah whoops. Otherworlders dont know, huh?
It was a new bad habit the Purple Magic Tower Master, Yuna, had picked up; casually using knowledge gained from associating with him and inadvertently sharing it with others.
But where else could find a metaphor as fitting as a brain in a vat?
In just four words, it could explain all profound dilemmas. This was how effective a clich was in conveying information.
Then, did she need to first explain the Matrix?
Instead of delving into countless issues like the dilemma of created beings, the structure of the soul, the obligations of birthed intelligence, and the value of artificial soulsBasically, topics that could lead to continuous debates that last over a year
Yuna decided to gloss over it all with religious dogmatism.
I amGod.
Youre God?!
I am a.friend and business partner of the God who created all of you. I have access and edit permissions, so, well, you could say Im God too.
Uh, if thats the case, God. Why is the world filled with suffering?
.
The counter-question, sharp as a knife, made the Archwizard stagger. He probably would have said, Suffering is what makes Happy Endings shine. However, that was only applicable in stories. For someone living through it as their reality, it would definitely be infuriating.
To savor the sweet happiness you will receive in the future, I have decided to bestow suffering upon you!
If someone called God suddenly said this, Yuna would be ready to unleash the maximum output of her Yuna Death Beam right into that Gods face.
As such, she had nothing to say but to mumble awkwardly.
Fortunately, whether she was a brain parasite or perhaps a parasite deluded into thinking it was God was not really mulled over by Pero. He was warm-hearted enough to consider the voice in his head as truly God.
It is a difficult problem!
E-Eung.
Lets try figuring it out together!
O-Okay.
===============================================================
She finished her rough explanation. And, in order to shake off the slander of being a parasite, she revealed her true form. Pero seemed to feel a sense of camaraderie with her because of her short height, as they were fairly relative in size.
With a single gesture, she proved her divine power by creating 30 years worth of food, thus bringing about the miracle of loaves and fishes2Feeding the Multitude in the bible where Jesus provided fish and loaves to his followers/disciples

Thus, Paradise was abundant with food. The facilities were great with ample emergency power and functioning ventilation systems. It was more than enough for a man and a woman to pair with each other and make a whole soccer team3wink wink if they so wished.
But the biggest problem was that Pero was alone.
Humans were social animals, thus Pero could get incredibly lonely. Without communication and interaction with others, it could also be extremely stressful. Perhaps he may even fall ill because of the burden on his heart.
So Yuna tried a few things to remedy this.
What is this?
Uh, um, a life-sized4Body pillow lol First Princess.? I couldnt program an AI into it, but I thought maybe youll feel less lonely if you hug it as a pillow.
.
S-Sorry.
When Pero, the very definition of goodness, looked up at the sky with eyes akin to those of someone looking at utter trash, Yuna hurriedly erased the modeling of the First Princess. She wasnt trying to give him mental damage or anything; it was purely with good intentions.
After all, in the world he lived, long hugging pillows had pictures of women drawn on them, didnt they?!
But a failure was a failure. A gift only had meaning if the recipient was joyful.
Next, she drew a picture on a volleyball and gave it to him.
This is Wilson5referencing to the company Wilson that makes volleyballs.
Its a ball, isnt it?
No, its Wilson.
Maybe he had taken this idea from the meeting room that was Irids Think Tank, realizing that Elaine cherished her younger brother.
So, what is the reason you invited us to this place?
Ah, about that. I wanted to propose a deal!
There was, of course, a desire to protect these self-aware characters. If possible, she wanted to accommodate them, and if they were brought into reality, it seemed like it would be satisfying.
You promised a Happy Ending, but she still hasnt reunited with Irid yet, you punk.
However, the Purple Magic Tower Master was not mistaken in her priorities. This was all about creating a situation that would benefit both parties without harming him.
The simulation world was fragile.
The world was vast, there were many different species, and even more monsters. The ones that they especially needed to be wary of were the incubus and succubus-like creatures. Just as they could infiltrate human dreams, they could also hide in the simulation world.
As such, the plan was to use the self-aware NPCs as a kind of vaccine.
Become a civil militia.
Uh, civil militia?
Eung. Welcome new members, live happily, and if some nasty creatures sneak into this world. Punish them. In return, Ill take care of all your needs..
Then, that meansYoure making us into your Champions, God!
Peros eyes sparkled. Though faith had all but dried up due to the Variant crisis, religious stories were passed down orally, so he knew. Gods chose Champions to carry out their will on the earth.
Feeling the boys adoring gaze, the Tower Masters shoulders subtly rose.
Strangely, the wizards of the Tower regarded her more with fear or cuteness than respect. She had never received such pure adoration before, thus making her swell with pride.
All sorts of equipment, food, amenities J-Just leave it to me. Even if theres no data, Ill carve and create it for you..!
As the Tower Master pounded on her chest pompously, requests from Pero and Centra poured in.
Then maybe a Holy Sword!
If I can request equipment, could you make a more comfortable combat suit? The one Im wearing now is too tight around the chest.
Or a double-barrel shotgun!!
Or a beautiful dress for my reunion with Irid.
Rumbleee.
The Tower Master, her genius fully unleashed, produced the items one after another. Whether it was full-body tights that were comfortable for the wearer but clearly revealed the shape of their chest, or a Holy Sword that emitted the sound of a wyvern when a gem in the middle was pressed, she made them all and more.
During this Blowout Sale of Creations made by a Creator, the two had their desired items piling up like a mountain. As Centra was eyeing a dress with an extremely low cut back, she stealthily approached the Tower Master.
Centra tilted her head in contemplation, before whispering quietly.
Uh, um about Ronya. I mean, the one who went inside RonyaDo you not have to let him know?
H-How did you know I didnt tell him anything?!
Since your expression was like that of a child, worried about being caught for breaking a vase.?
It seemed like she had read the hint of unease that lingered in the Tower Masters eyes even during the Creation Show.
She would get caught. Eventually it would be discovered.
However, Yuna had her own reasons and justifications. These were characters from a finished story. If he wasnt going to reuse them, they wouldnt be used for anything, so it would be fine to tell him later was what her scheme was.
Moreover, Yuna wanted to postpone that moment as much as possible, though he would eventually find out. After all, he was under the influence of That. If the symptoms worsened, he might literally play with Centra and Pero.
If she told him after everything was resolved well and he was freed from That, then
Woooooong. A voice echoed from the sky.
-Tower Master, what are you doing there?
HEUKIYAAAAAAAAAAAH!
The danger of everything being revealed had already arrived.
