Visible to all the citizens of the world of Errera, above them hang a sprawling metropolis moon. The Moon City, it was called. The Moon Elves and Bunny Girls were rumored to live there, but it was just tall tales. Those in the royalty of each nation-state of Errera knew better: the Moon Elves were real.

Dispatched from the Moon City itself came a Moon Elf observer to the royal family. To those who knew these moon elves personally, they seemed like they were on vacation or something. Their main goal: control the Adventurer's Guild. Why control the adventurer's guild?

Reincarnators. A reincarnator would pop in, wreck Errera's order and conquer a few nations, grow old and settle down. Usually, they were overpowered, but, luckily, every single one registered at the Adventurer's Guild without fail.

On the moon, a humble feminine looking Moon Elf who was branded with the nickname Galileo for looking through telescopes too much, looked through a telescope. Galileo was earning their nickname. Galileo stepped aside from the telescope, taking up a tablet and checking it's full email inbox. In despair at the size and breadth of the highly valuable and penitent information presented to Galileo, the moon elf sighed as it worked up the will to begin scrawling notes.

"Nephilz in tatters. The Anime Girl Magus looks she will more interesting than I'd hoped. Her danger level... inexstimable at this point." Galileo shifted the tablet to take a look at the information from the Adventurer's Guild. A quick look gave the moon elf all it wanted to know: the Anime Girl Magus was hiding her power. That, and, there happened to be a report from the observer in the city about her penetrating her cold area of effect magic barrier. A reincarnator, no doubt, but even in the history of Errera there hadn't been a reincarnator capable of facing even the weakest Moon Elves magic head on.

Because of how unprecedented the Anime Girl Magus's ability was gauged, even a Psychic Ninja was sent to gather information. Galileo requested openly to engage this Anime Girl Magus and learn about her as an equal. The Moon Elf Elders denied Galileo's request. Having a Moon Elf engage with a reincarnator of such power would be dangerous. Already the Anime Girl Magus was designated a threat. Soon, Galileo feared, the Anime Girl Magus would be exterminated. If, that is, that the Psychic Ninja wasn't already requested to rid Errera of the pesky reincarnator.

It was then that Galileo recieved an extra urgent email. With a ping on the moon elf's doorbell, a card slid under through the crack. Galileo kept one eye on the tablet, reading the email, as the moon elf got closer to the conspicuous card.

The email read:

"This is to remain between us. Take this card. When you see it, you will understand who this concerns. I will report to the Elders what I must— but no more. The Elders will be slow to act. Use the card, and investigate further."

The sender was a spam email. Galileo wouldn't have tapped on it if it weren't the subject line: AGM. Anime Girl Magus. The very thing the moon elf had on it's mind. Reaching the door, the moon elf crouched down, picking up the brown and yellow card.

"Nana Daiba?" The Moon Elf sounded out the cards name.

It wouldn't be long before Wizard or Anime Girl found their copy of the brown and yellow card was a fake. With this card, Galileo summoned Nana Daiba, and she escorted the Moon Elf into [Yume Nasai]. However, [Yume Nasai]'s recent population explosion kept the Moon Elf hidden.

Fighting hand to hand versus Kirei is frustrating. This guy, he's not a Psychic Ninja Moon Elf, too, is he? Why is it that every single attack is missing? I punch and he redirects it, I kick and he shifts out of the way. I'm genuinely trying to kill him with every strike here, just out of principle, and hatred, and I want to rest knowing I won't have to learn hard things tommorrow, and yet...!

Still, every hit is missing!

"That frustration on your face is proof that your focus is weak." Kirei said. "I will say it until you feel it for yourself. Losing your attention to your emotions will never bring your attention to your technique."

He threw me into a tree. It felt like I tripped. He's fast. So fast. He knows every move before I do it. What am I supposed to do, here?

"This is unfair. I want to lower the difficulty." Collapsed under the trunk of a tree, I savored the smell of the grass. Ah, it rained last night. I love this smell. Knuckles cracked outside of my vision.

"There is no such thing as difficult. There is putting yourself into a task, or not putting yourself to task. Your abilities are all far beyond mine, and your mana is inexhaustible. It is a shame the mind controlling them is the weakest link."

Uggggggraggggg~ I hate how right that sounds, and yet, I still want Kirei dead. Since Hohemi is living it up in [Yume Nasai], I could pop over anytime and bond with her over hatred of this guy. I think I understand her more. Maybe I'll make my first real friend of my own accord because of this hatred for Kirei.

I stood up. I'll thank him. Fist to the groin, don't hold back, aim, enhance with mana and guide it with an image, let your voice say whatever it wants to enhance the attack...

"[Sho ru ha ken]!"

Ah, what the hell, it's supposed to be- damn. I missed again. The explosion shattered a good chunk of the cliff behind Kirei. I fired a beam. Tee hee.

Kirei's eagle-like stare mocked me from above. I'm so short. Especially compared to oto- er, da- , no wait, Kirei! Kirei! Damn it brain, I'm an Anime Girl not a daughter! Kirei walked over, gave me a love tap.

"Your attention is wavering. From time to time. it seems as if you are perfectly on track, as if nothing will stop your progression of your magic, then it falls off. I have never seen this even once... is this the source of your power?"

Source of my power my butt. I'm just a virgin over the age of 30. Oh, and the autism. Since I'm tired of losing, I'll make small talk about it. I told Kirei about my former life. He was an eager and inquistive listener. It wore me out. Compared to fighting an enemy I couldn't hit even once, this was much easier. Rather, saying it out loud reminded me of the time I told Ouji all about Earth. Oh, he's still alive. Yeah. Flashes of memory of Ouji being very near death before Anime Girl saved the day haunted my imagination. I really don't care about him, I really don't, but Ouji has an unfortunate ability to be memorable enough to make me feel guilty about not remembering him more.

Well... he's alive! So. When I got to explaining the internet of earth, Kirei got more heated than usual, and I began drawing diagrams and trying to explain linux and such, it didn't go well. Eventually Anime Girl summoned a maid who was in charge of Information Systems in [Yume Nasai], and I quickly became more lost than Kirei.

What's more important, I thought as I stared as the IS maid's breasts as she tapped on the chalkboard, is if the internet and I will be reunited in this world...

If there is a maid like this, doesn't Anime Girl already have the power to make such a thing possible? No, shouldn't I be able to do it myself. It's magic. I have mana, it's magic, why not cast an internet spell? This world might be destroyed, but if I can get an internet connection, who needs this planet?

I suddenly felt a great surge of self-derision as I remembered my recent orbital bombardment. Oh. Yeah. Now that I have, actually, in reality, killed a lot of people(tee hee), suddenly destroying the world is not as fun to think about before.

I'm sure Anime Girl only culled the weak. Right. Right?!

[dajobu. minna daijobu.]

I fear asking who 'minna' is referring to, here. How many homunculi are in my head, now? And, Ouji's there, and Hohemi, and, well, who knows. Surely Anime Girl wouldn't have opened up the borders. I didn't want innocents to die, so, wait, are like, Low Elves up there? Those dirty Low Elves? Urgh. Maybe dwarves. No, if Hohemi came and her sweatshop employees did, then how many dwarfs are in my head right now?! Are they mining? They had better be mining- THEY HAD BETTER BE- why am I so angry all of a sudden?

Rubbing my head, my vision swum as the IS maid giving a professional explanation caught me looking at her chest. My face warmed and I snuck my eyes away from her. If she can't see my eyes, I'm okay. No, I am an Anime Girl and not a man anymore, looking at women's chests is perfectly healthy! Wait, wasn't it healthy as a man, too? I was lacking confidence and worried about my social standing on earth, if I felt like I could follow through with ogling a girls chest and then engaging in sexual relations I would feel much better! However! That was not the case even once! Ogling girls takes high self-esteem!

For some reason, the thought of Yarko came to mind. I saw Yarko staring at my chest before. Shamelessly. It made me uncomfortable, but because it was Yarko, a girl, I let it slide. If it was Ouji? Death.

Reminder: kill Ouji. No, no, wait, we've already killed too many, this has to end sometime. My fingertips tapped against each other. One more. Just one more...?

"I see." Kirei said. He rose. Walking to the chalkboard, he took it over, quickly learning the ins and out of chalkmancy. He's good. "This 'autism' and the internet. I believe this is a foul combination."

Isn't that obvious? No, Kirei's from this world, that he could understand that much from a simple explanation from an Information Systems maid shows his ability. Chalk scraped against the board.

"Your magic was strengthened by the overall flow of art and knowledge, but, at the same time, this internet's nature also weakened your already weakened control from living in a society with loose rules. Loose rules, weak magic. This condition of autism would normally restrict your social functioning while allowing strong magic in one area. It appears as if in your case, you became strongly influenced over a wide variety of areas. This lead to much disorder. Priorities are confused. The flow is great at any one time, on one topic, your mind aligns along those rules— however the period is so short your spells fail even while casting. I see."

Kirei's murmuring felt oddly encouraging. Am I going to get stronger, now? Kirei turned to me, chalk pointing.

"We need small spells. Very, very small spells."
