Chapter 96: Alfi Titor – [Meincraft] I won’t die this time! (END)

[Play C418 – Sweden]

Alfi respawned in her house, her face still frozen in shock.

[*F*]

[That was really unlucky!]

[*Alt + F4 disables mob spawning.*]

[MOD: Beta – *I will remember your name.*]

[A brave overseas bro tried to trick Alfi…]

[:salute:]

After a few moments, Alfi sighed. “Well, I didn’t die without accomplishing anything. Right, everyone?”

[That’s the spirit!]

[You can still grab your things!]

[*Quick! Run back before it despawns!*]

“O-Oh! Yes! I will!” Alfi quickly ran out of her house and headed back towards the forest.

[You know, this could have all been avoided by raiding the village…]

[Right? There was a set of iron armor sitting there!]

[We have standards!]

Alfi glanced at the chat and frowned. “Stealing is bad. But…” She glanced back at the game and said, “…I’ll consider borrowing it if this goes wrong too. T-They won’t mind too much, right?”

[*I bet the villagers would die for Alfi if they could!*]

[*If I was there, I’d give you everything!*]

[*Ima lead a crusade against those skeletons for killing Alfi. Who’s with me?*]

[*You have my sword!*]

[*And you have my bow!*]

[*And my axe!*]

[*One does not simply reference LOTR…*]

Alfi giggled and then said, “Thank you for making me laugh.”

[*hi-five*]

[*:groan: Why does that old meme make her laugh…?*]

[:o]

[Nooo! The overseas bros are winning in affection points!]

[We love you too, Alfi!]

Alfi let out a wide smile and then she focused, turning her attention back to the game.

The skeletons were in the distance, hovering around the edge of the forest. The three that killed had been joined by the first skeleton that shot at Alfi.

[That’s dangerous…]

[Can we do it?]

[*I believe in you, Alfi!*]

[*Don’t charge in! Play smart!*]

Alfi paused, just out of range of the skeletons’ arrows.

The blocky white bone creatures turned to look at her, four lifeless gazes staring at the screen.

[MOD: Hana Homura Ch. – Oi! What are you four looking at Nee-chan like that for?]

[…]

[Sasuga, Imouto]

[*Be careful!*]

[*Alexa! Play “Revenge” – A Minecraft Parody*]

Alfi frowned, eyes narrowed in concentration. “There’s four of them and one of me. In that case…” Alfi started running, carefully watching the skeletons.

Almost immediately, they started notching their arrows.

[Alfi no!]

[*I can’t watch!*]

[Aaaaaahhhhh!]

[*Go Alfi! You can do it!*]

The arrows flew towards Alfi. But before they struck, she dashed to the side.

A faint *twang* echoed as the arrows pierced into the ground. But Alfi kept running forward.

[:o]

[*YES!*]

[Yosh! Go, Alfi-chan!]

[*Keep it up!*]

The skeletons notched their arrows again. But Alfi had closed the distance by half. Then, just before they fired, she dodged to the side again.

Once more, the arrows pierced into the ground beside Alfi as she continued forward.

[GOOOO!]

[*Hype!*]

[Is EVERYONE in Project MirAIs good at action games?]

[*Go Alfi! Beat them up!*]

[But she’ll get surrounded like this, won’t she?]

She reached them. Quickly running into the forest, Alfi picked up her dropped materials, recovering the stack of spruce logs, the gunpowder, her experience points, and the torch.

But now she was surrounded. The skeletons stared her down, quickly moving around her to block her exit.

[Oh no!]

[Not again!]

[*Alfi-chan!*]

[*NOOOO!*]

Alfi quickly spun her mouse, taking in the surroundings. And then she nodded. “I’ve seen through you!”

Arrows fired. The skeletons attacked. But…

[OH!]

[Smart!]

[*Galaxy brain plays!*]

[*SUGOI!*]

Alfi dodged. No, rather than dodging, she charged at the skeleton deepest in the forest.

One of the arrows struck her arm, causing Alfi to lose a quarter of her health. That one was from the skeleton that she charged at.

But the others missed. No, instead of missing…

Sharp clattering. The sound of arrows striking bone.

At the last second, she ducked behind the skeleton, causing the other arrows to hit it.

[Yeah! Fight someone your own size!]

[Great job, Alfi!]

[*Quick! Make a weapon, Alfi!*]

[*Use your resources while their distracted!*]

Alfi glanced at the chat and nodded. “Yes! Thank you!”

She ducked behind a tree and quickly made spruce planks in her menu.

[Please no more monsters!]

[*fingers crossed*]

[come on game! You’ve bullied Alfi enough!]

Success. That done, Alfi made a crafting table and plopped it down.

Meanwhile, the sounds of whistling arrows echoed behind her, along with the sounds of skeletons taking damage.

[You can do it!]

[Oh no? Did one die?]

[*Hurry!*]

[*:praying:*]

“Sticks, planks, and then… sword!” Alfi smiled, quickly cycling towards it in her hotbar.

[NICE!]

[Be careful!]

[*It’s time for revenge!*]

[*Alfi’s blade’s gonna tear right through you! Bring it!*]

A soft *poof* sound echoed from behind Alfi. The sound of one of the skeletons dying. And shortly after, ominous rattling drew near.

Alfi waited, carefully watching her health. Now that she stood still, the hearts slowly filled back up. But at the same time, the rattling sounds got closer.

[Can she do it…?]

[*I believe!*]

[*They’ll never see it coming!*]

[Don’t spam! Wait for the gauge and jump attack!]

Alfi glanced at the chat and nodded. “Thank you! I’ll remember that!”

The last heart filled up. At the same time, a skeleton peeked into the right side of Alfi’s vision.

A split second where neither the skeleton nor Alfi moved.

But Alfi recovered first. “Hyah!” She charged, jumping into the air and swinging her sword.

A low thud echoed and then the skeleton exploded into a pile of smoke, dropping an arrow and a glowing bow.

[Whoa!]

[Nice drop!]

[*About time Alfi gets something nice!*]

Alfi didn’t pay attention to the chat. She didn’t have time.

The same instant the skeleton died, another emerged in the distance, aiming an arrow at her.

Before it fired, Alfi quickly cycled back to her planks and stacked them on the ground in front of her.

An arrow whistled through the air, and then a soft *thud* echoed as it struck the makeshift barrier.

Alfi immediately ran out, racing towards the skeleton.

Was it afraid? Or did its AI get messed up by the sudden change in behavior?

For a moment, the skeleton spun around in a circle, as if it was confused.

In that moment, Alfi reached it and slashed with her wooden sword.

*thwack*

The sound of wood striking bone. And then that skeleton vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving another glowing bow and a pair of bones.

Alfi picked them up and jumped to the side.

The moment she did, an arrow struck the ground where she had just been standing.

[:o]

[*Alfi’s going full gamer mode!*]

[*So this is the power of a true combat automaton…*]

[I knew you could do it, Alfi!]

Alfi glanced at the arrow and then quickly spun in the direction where it came from. There, the last skeleton raised its bow, staring at Alfi.

She frowned and then scrolled to her newly acquired bow as well. A misclick caused her to smack the air with the bow, but she quickly got the hang of it and aimed an arrow at the skeleton as well.

[Stand off?]

[MOD: Hana Homura Ch. – Die! Stop bullying Nee-chan!]

[:sweat:]

[MOD: Beta – Should… I have a conversation with your mother, Hana?]

[MOD: Hana Homura Ch. – E-Eh? No! I’m fine! Promise!]

The skeleton fired.

But Alfi was expecting that. The moment before it did, she strafed to the side, causing the arrow to miss her.

And then she returned fire.

Alfi’s arrow whistled through the air, struck the skeleton… and lit it on fire.

“E-Eh?” Alfi blinked and looked at her bow, confused.

[Flame?!]

[Wait! The arrow didn’t get used up!]

[*Is that an infinity flame bow?!*]

[*POG*]

[*Really, man? Pog?*]

The skeleton ran around in a panic, spinning while on fire. And then it fell to the ground, vanishing in a puff of smoke. Like the other skeletons, it left behind a glowing bow and an arrow.

[Grab it and run!]

[Don’t wait!]

[*Get out of there quick, Alfi!*]

Alfi glanced at the chat and then nodded. “R-Right!” She ran over to the items and picked them up. But the moment she did, a flash of green appeared in the distance.

[Another Creep?!]

[*What is up with this seed?!*]

[*Is there a spawner nearby or something!?*]

Alfi’s eyes widened and she reflexively shot an arrow at it.

[ALFI NO!]

[AAAH!]

[*Bad decision!*]

The arrow whistled through the air, struck the Creep… and then instantly caused it to explode.

“H-Huh?!”

Alfi’s health instantly dropped below half. Thankfully, since she was further away, she didn’t get instantly killed. Even so, it was a dangerous situation.

[JUST RUN!]

[Don’t look back!]

[*Your bow blows them up! Run!*]

“O-Okay!” This time, Alfi spun around and just ran, not looking back. As she did, the sound of bows being drawn back echoed.

[More skeletons!?]

[*There MUST be mob spawners nearby in the forest!*]

[*Don’t die, Alfi!*]

Alfi’s eyes widened and she quickly dashed to the side. The moment she did, more arrows flew through the air, piercing the ground next to her.

But they missed.

And since they missed, Alfi continued forward.

Bones rattled. The sound of Creeps hissing echoed. And the faint groans of zombies could be heard from somewhere nearby as well.

But then Alfi broke free of the forest back into the sunlight.

She didn’t stop running though. Not until she was safe behind the door of her dirt house. And once she got inside, for good measure, she plopped down her torch in the center of the house.

Silence.

For a few moments, Alfi just stood there, her eyes dazed, like a veteran returning from war. “…So this is how Papa felt all the time back then…”

[Again with Papa?]

[Why do I feel like Mister John lived a dangerous life…]

[*Are we… Are we sure John isn’t some criminal mastermind?*]

[*Is John a soldier- Wait. John Titor IS a soldier, right?!*]

[*Holy crap, the lore!*]

Alfi shook her head and then smiled. “But we made it!” Her smile got bigger and she turned to the camera. “We made it, everyone! We defeated the monsters, got treasure, and made it back alive!” Her crimson eyes started to shimmer, watering up.

[Yes!]

[Don’t cry! T_T You’ll make us cry!]

[*Congratulations!*]

[*NICE!*]

Alfi brushed her eyes and then sniffed. “S-Sorry! I’m just… happy! We did it! After all of that, something nice happened!”

[Should we look at the spoils?]

[What’d we get?!]

[*Did we really get an infinity bow?*]

[MOD: Hana Homura Ch. – Great job Nee-chan! ^_^]

“Thank you! And yes, let’s take a look!” Alfi nodded and opened her menu. “We got… three bows. Two arrows. Two bones. A pile of black powder from the Creep… and then the spruce logs and planks from the forest!” She pumped a fist in the air and said, “Mission, success!”

[Great!]

[What are the bows though?]

[*Check the bows!*]

[*One of them HAS to be infinity!*]

“Check the bows? Oh! Yes, give me a bit… Okay!” She moved her mouse cursor over the bow she used earlier. “First off… It’s this. Um… Is it good?”

[*Holy crap!*]

[*God bow!*]

[Finally, something goes right!]

[See everyone! Good karma pays off!]

Alfi blinked. “T-Then it’s good?”

[REALLY GOOD!]

[*You can use it to end game!*]

[*You don’t need another bow for a while!*]

[*The durability is almost max too! What the heck?!*]

Alfi lit up and nodded. “That’s great! Then, um… what about these two?” She hovered over the other bows.

[*S-Sasuga, Alfi-chan.*]

[:o]

[*Screw Dream luck. It’s Alfi luck now!*]

[Super, super, super good!]

“Really? Really, really?” Alfi leaned forward into the camera. “Y-You wouldn’t lie to me, right? Are these… Are these really good?”

[T-Too close!]

[My heart! I can’t handle it!]

[*N-Never! We would never lie!*]

[*D-Definitely not! (rip genericuser)*]

“That’s great!” Alfi leaned back and nodded. “Then I can trade these with the villagers!”

[Um… they don’t accept bows.]

[*Did villagers trade for bows?*]

[*I don’t think they accept those*]

“O-Oh. They don’t?”

[You can exchange in the chests!]

[Right! You can trade with whatever’s in the chest!]

[*I mean, you could always put one in the chest and trade like that…*]

[*I still think we should just take everything…*]

Alfi furrowed her brow, reading the chat. And then she nodded. “Okay! Let’s go take a look then! Since we have these bows, I’m sure the villagers won’t mind if we trade for them, right?”

[*:thumbsup:*]

[Of course not!]

[If they do, we’ll talk with them!]

[*We’ll handle the negotiations. Won’t we, guys?*]

[*Don’t worry about it, Alfi!*]

Alfi tucked a strand of her silver hair behind her ear and then moved her character back towards the village. “Let’s see…” She spun her character around to take a look.

Her house was built on the outskirts of the village, so it didn’t take long to enter.

A few of the villagers were already milling about and turned to look at her as she passed.

Alfi smiled and nodded with her character. “Hello! Nice to meet you!”

*Hmm.*

“Oh!” Alfi turned to the camera and said, “Can they understand me? Is this game that advanced?”

[I think that was a coincidence…]

[M-Maybe?]

[*I mean, it’s fairly advanced, but I don’t think that much…*]

“Oh. So it was just a coincidence…” Alfi looked a bit sad. But then she smiled. “Still! It’s nice to meet you all!” She nodded at the villagers as she passed and then kept walking.

A tiny patch of beets. Another of potatoes. A small library. A water fountain. A watch tower and a bell… And then a blacksmith.

“Ah! Here we are.” Alfi stopped in front of the blacksmith and said, “I think this man would buy the bow, right?”

[Alfi’s so cute roleplaying!]

[Yes! He’s the weapon maker!]

[*In a normal game, yes, so… yes?*]

[*Check the chest in his building!*]

*Hmmm.*

Alfi nodded her head in the game and said, “It’s nice to meet you, Mister Blacksmith! Um… I’m going to trade my bow for your wares. Do you mind?”

*Hmmmm.*

The blacksmith shook its head.

[E-Eh?]

[That… was really coincidental.]

[*Holy crap! Is the game self-aware?*]

[*A-Are we really playing Meincraft still?*]

Alfi’s eyes lit up and she smiled. “Thank you, Mister! Then… excuse me!” She walked around him and entered the house.

A blast furnace and a cauldron of lava sat in one corner. Next to it was a blacksmithing table and an anvil. And then, next to that, there was a bright orange chest.

Alfi walked over to the chest and said, “This, right?”

[Yes!]

[What does he have?]

[*Moment of truth!*]

Alfi opened the chest.

Inside, there were three diamonds, an iron sword, an iron pickaxe, nine loaves of bread, and seven oak saplings.

In short, everything that Alfi needed.

[SEE! We should have come here first!]

[Argh…]

[*I want Alfi’s seed!*]

[*L-Lewd…*]

[MOD: Beta – *Do not test me.*]

[*Y-Yes Ma’am!*]

Alfi’s eyes spun. “U-Um…!” She glanced at her inventory and then at the chest. “I-Is it okay if I take these? Is it a fair trade for one of my bows?”

[More than fair!]

[What’s some items for an INFINITE BOW?]

[*You can use those to get more later!*]

[*Just do it!*]

“O-Okay. If you all say it’s fair…” Alfi seemed hesitant, but she carefully placed one of her bows in the chest and then emptied out the chest.

[Nice!]

[*Diamonds already… Worth.*]

[*The world’s finally rewarding you, Alfi!*]

Alfi closed the chest and then smiled. Turning towards the camera, she said, “Thank you, everyone. Reading your encouragement really helped with all the bad things that-“

*thud*

The sound effect for taking damage.

Alfi’s eyes widened. “H-Huh?! B-But there’s no monsters nearby! What’s attacking me?”

[Your hunger!]

[You need to eat!]

[*Eat your bread!*]

“Eh? Eh?!” Alfi glanced at her hotbar. “O-Oh! Right!” She cycled through to her bread.

Like with the bow, she misclicked and smacked the air. And then she clicked the right button, but nothing happened. Seeing that, Alfi’s eyes widened. “W-What do I do!? It’s not working!”

[*Hold right click!*]

[*It’s like when you were aiming your bow!*]

[Hold the button!]

[Don’t die!]|

[*alt+f4!*]

[This message has been deleted by a moderator]

[The user has been banned by MOD: Hana Homura Ch. – BAD MAN!]

“O-Oh! Okay! U-Um, right click. Hold…”

Alfi’s character raised the loaf of bread and then started munching on it, making chewing sound effects. And then the bread vanished. “I did it!”

[Keep eating!]

[*Eat more!*]

[*Fill your bar!*]

“M-More? U-Um, okay…!”

A few more loaves of bread and then the hunger meter was filled up.

“Phew.” Alfi smiled. “That was close. Thank you, everyone! Now, let’s head back home to finish up this stream.” She walked out of the blacksmith’s house.

*Hmmmm?*

The blacksmith turned towards Alfi as she passed, as if wondering where she was going.

Alfi waved. “Thank you, Mister Blacksmith! I took your items, but I left you a strong bow! Um… is that okay?”

*Hmmm!*

The blacksmith nodded.

Alfi smiled. “Thank you! Bye for now!” She waved and then ran off.

[I-Is that blacksmith sentient?]

[Maybe it’s because Alfi’s technically a robot?]

[*Even the villagers adore Alfi!*]

[*Sasuga, Alfi-chan*]

Alfi hopped her way back to her house, humming with a smile on her face. When she arrived, she switched to the saplings and started carefully planting them around her house. Afterwards, she stepped back to look at her house.

—–AI|IA—–

—–AI|IA—–

After doing that, she smiled and then paused the game. “It isn’t much… but it’s something! And I couldn’t have done it without all of you here by my side!” Alfi turned to the camera and bowed her head. “Thank you.”

[100 USD – *WE’RE IN BOYS!*]

[100 CAD – *NO U!*]

[100 Euro – *Thank you Alfi! Love from Europe!*]

Alfi raised her head… and then she froze. “E-Eh?! S-Superchats?”

[20k yen – Saved up for a red superchat like I said!]

[10k yen – Congratulations Alfi Nee-chan!]

[5k yen – Love you!]

“W-Wait!” Alfi’s eyes started to spin and her ears turned red. “T-This is… No! Please, think of yourself first!”

[100 USD – *Jokes on you, I don’t understand Nihongo!*]

[100 USD – *Buy something nice, Alfi-chan!*]

[20k yen – Mobs: 3, Alfi: 5]

.

.

.

[20k yen – Congrats on being monetized, Darling!]

Alfi blinked. “H-Hana? Miss Gloria? B-But…”

[100 USD – *Go Queen!*]

[100 USD – *Can’t believe I’m simping, but… Go Alfi!*]

[10k yen – 😮 American bros are strong!]

Alfi covered her mouth, her burgundy eyes welling up with tears. “E-Everyone… This much support… B-B-But…!”

[20k yen – Love you!]

[10k yen – Aishiteru!]

[20k yen – Oi,oi,oi! That love is too heavy! Too heavy!]

“N-No!” Alfi shook her head. “I’m not… Someone like me… Please! Stop! I’m not… I’m not worth this much affection…”

The chat froze. And then a split second later it exploded in color, moving so fast that the chatbox began dropping frames.

Seeing all of the support, tears started running down Alfi’s cheeks. She shook her head and then covered her face. “Everyone… Everyone is so kind… To someone useless like me… to someone who’s only good for fighting… You really…?”

[20k yen – You’re not useless!]

[200 Euro – *Don’t say that!*]

[200 USD – *You mean the world to me! You made my world!*]

[50 USD – *Don’t cry!*]

Alfi shook her head, her shoulders trembling. “N-No… I messed up. I’m not… I shouldn’t be crying… I’m still streaming… T-This…”

[T_T]

[<3]

[<3<3<3]

Alfi wiped her eyes and then gave a watery smile. “T-Thank you everyone. I… I don’t want you to see me crying s-so I’ll end it here. Thank you. Thank you… s-so… m-m-much!” Her voice hitched at the end and then she shook her head, quickly ending the feed and putting up a picture of a chibi Alfi hugging a heart.

[Alfi-chaaaaan!]

[T_T]

[My heart…!]

[*Don’t cry!*]

But the stream didn’t end. It seemed that she forgot to close it in her haste. And as a result…

Faint sniffles. “W-What do I do? Everyone… Everyone is so nice… Th-this much love… Wh-What do I do? I can’t… I can’t pay them back. Someone like me… They deserve someone better than me. B-But… I-I’m so… so happy… Uuu…”

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]

[*I CAN’T TAKE THESE FEELS!*]

[NOOOO! DON’T CRY! I’M GOING TO CRY!]

[34wdf]

[a6tg4frw3e]

[23wfc]

[srfgvfs]

A knock echoed and then a melodic voice called out. “Alfi?”

“Y-Yes? W-What is it, Betty?”

“You are still live.”

“…Eh?”

“It appears that in your haste, you forgot to end the stream. And it appears that your beloved fans are crying just as much as you are.”

Frantic mouse clicks. After that, the end of stream image with the chibi Alfi vanished, replaced with the normal one.

She was a mess. Her eyes were puffy and tears covered her cheeks. Even so, she smiled and said, “Sorry everyone! Good bye! I love you!”

[W-Wait a minute!]

[Another sneak attack!?!]

[*GAH! MY HEART!*]

[fawexdvcfws]

[adcwsx]

[*fwesd*]

Alfi waved, and then the stream ended, freezing on her happy but teary face.
