My name's Kasuga Ayumu, but everybody calls me Osaka, just 'cuz I'm from
Osaka. It used to really bother me, but I guess I've gotten used to it or
something. Or maybe I decided it's not worth worrying about. I'm not really
sure. Anyway, it doesn't matter. So I'm Osaka, I guess.
I moved here from Osaka a few months ago, and things sure are different.
Course we had PETs in Osaka too, and lotsa people even had their own custom
Net Navis, but...it just wasn't as big as it is here in Akihara. Everybody
has a PET, and most people have custom Net Navis. There's tons of shops for
upgrades, Navi programs, repairs, and battle chips...you can even buy packs
of low-grade battle chips at a conbini, like thirty for a thousand yen.
Mostly minibombs and guard chips and area steals...little stuff. Only
newbies and little kids buy them, really. I bought some when I was a newbie.
I've got better chips now, but I still have the other ones, except for the
ones I used in a chip trader. But I didn't get very good chips. Oh well.
Even the teachers have Net Navis here, and we use our PETs in class. Our
homeroom teacher teaches English and also virus busting, but she's not very
good at virus busting and doesn't have her own custom Navi. It pisses her
off that most of the class have custom Navis...but hers is just a teaching
Navi, and usually does most of the teaching for her anyway while she sleeps
or plays a video game. She's kind of a lazy teacher, really.
Tou-sa gave me a Navi when we moved. She's a really great Navi. Her name is
Chiyo-chan.EXE, and she's the smartest Navi ever. She's got lots of memory
and program modules, so she knows everything, and she pretty much does my
homework for me because I space out a lot and don't pay attention in class
too much. She takes notes for me, and tries to help me learn, but usually
just ends up doing everything for me. She doesn't complain though...well,
not much. She does tell me I should get my act together, but then, so does
everybody else. I really try, but it's just...
Oh, wait, I didn't tell you what PETs and Net Navis are, did I? Well, a PET
is a Personal Terminal. It's like a little computer you can carry around
with you, and it keeps your schedule, and does e-mail, and can be used as a
phone, and you can play games on it, and lots of other stuff. It has an
artificial intelligence program called a Net Navi that's kinda like your own
personal assistant. They take care of things like e-mail and schedules and
all that. Also, they can fight other Navis and even fight computer viruses,
because there's lots of computer viruses on the net around here. Computer
viruses are scary. I think it's mean that people make viruses and stuff.
Chiyo-chan doesn't like fighting other Navis, but she's really good at virus
busting. A lot of my friends are envious because my Navi is so good at it.
Usually she just tells me what chips to send, and I send them, and she works
out how to win on her own, because she's so smart. That's not how it
normally works, because most of the time it's the operator and not the Navi
who figures out how best to fight, but...that's just how smart Chiyo-chan
is.
There's a lot of interesting people in my class. There's this one girl,
Tomo-chan, who's really wild and hyper, and kind of annoying sometimes. Her
Navi, Yomi, has almost the exact opposite personality, and sometimes you can
hear the two of them arguing a lot...I have to wonder why Tomo-chan has a
Navi like that if they can't get along. But she says she's had that Navi
since she was little, so...
Ah! Chiyo-chan just found a virus! I'd better...oh wait, she got it with her
Osage Busters. Chiyo-chan's Osage Busters are amazing...Tou-sa got a good
deal on a pack of power upgrades for them.
What was I talking about before? Oh yeah, the people in my class. Well,
there's two girls, Kaorin and Chihiro, who are always hanging out together.
They have pretty much normal Navis, except Kaorin's is pink...I can't
remember much about hers right now. There's also this one girl,
Sakaki-san...I don't think she has a Navi. Come to think of it, I've never
seen her with a PET. Maybe she doesn't have one? Maybe that's why she always
looks so...I dunno. She tends to stare out the window a lot, and not many
people try to talk to her much.
You know, it's funny...Chiyo-chan and I have seen a Navi on the Net that
looks kinda like Sakaki-san. Weird.
AHHHH! Shutterman! Run away, Chiyo-chan! Ah! I should plug out...whew.
Shutterman is Kimura-sensei's Net Navi. It's a little creepy. Kinda like
Kimura-sensei...he's really creepy too. He acts like a peeping tom a lot and
pays too much attention to the girls. We think he has a camera built into
his PET to take upskirt pictures, but nobody's caught him doing it.
E-mail from Yukari-sensei. Extra assignment...wah. She always does this when
she gets mad for getting a traffic ticket.
E-mail from Kurosawa-sensei. She's found out about Yukari-sensei's ticket
and is forging the assignment to send to Yukari's grading program. Whew.
Kurosawa-sensei is so nice, and always seems to be a step ahead of
Yukari-sensei...
It's time for bed, so I'll plug my PET into the recharging station and open
the netgate for Chiyo-chan to go onto the Net while I'm asleep. Oyasumi....
* * * * * *
Chiyo-chan strolled down one of the many paths which made up the virtual Net
world of Akihara. She saw the Navis belonging to some of Osaka's classmates,
and greeted them.
As she walked, she saw the tall, quiet Navi who never seemed to interact
with anyone. This Navi was a bit of an enigma; none of Osaka's classmates or
their Navis knew anything about her, or who she belonged to. Extremely tall
and elegant, with long black hair, she wore a black bodysuit with salmon
trim and a helmet with a black visor which obscured most of her face, save
for her mouth, which never showed any real expression. She also wore a red
shield slung across her back; the shield had an odd shape, like a cross
between a surfboard and a cat, and even had a cat-like face on it. It was
rather incongruous, considering how serious the Navi usually was. Chiyo-chan
had seen this Navi battle several viruses once, and wipe them all out with a
single swipe of her sword.
The tall Navi was currently approaching a small, grey sprite perched on the
edge of a path. Chiyo-chan tensed. That was a Kamineko virus! They weren't
especially dangerous, but they had a tendency to...
Oh no! The tall Navi is reaching out a hand to the Kamineko! Doesn't she
know better?
*CRUNCH*
Ah! The Kamineko just bit the tall Navi, and is latched onto her hand!
Chiyo-chan silently set her battle mode, and pointed her Osage Busters at
the offending virus. Twin bursts of energy lashed out, slicing through the
virus and reducing it to a rapidly dissipating stream of null data.
Silently, Chiyo-chan ducked around a corner, not wanting to draw the tall
Navi's attention, and began heading back to Osaka's home PC.
* * * * * *
Sakaki looked forlornly at the screen of her PET, where a small red warning
flashed that her Navi's hand data had been damaged. She idly set the repair
routine in motion, and sighed.
Her Navi sighed as well. "I failed again, mistress."
"It's alright, Aoi. Someday, you'll succeed." She looked down at her hand,
which had a slightly bloody bandage wrapped around it. "Someday, we'll both
succeed..."
