PROTO Chapter 5Play it here 
After I heard Usagi-san's question I rushed to the panel and I was so prepared to push the star button to select my answer but then Nezumi stopped me by holding my hand.
"Are you stupid?"She asks me in a mad tone.
"W-What?Come on Nezumi!The answer is so obvious!!"I said as I try to let go off my hand but Nezumi's grip strength is really hard to defeat so I just listened on what she is going to say.
Nezumi suddenly called Usagi-san's name by saying "Oy.USAGI!I know you're still there!I have some questions for you!" in a really mad voice and in a bad manner of language.
(Yankee tone of some sort) and after that,a second passes by and Usagi-san's voice was heard by our two ears.
"Chill out Nezumi-chwan~!What is your question?"Usagi-san said in a calm way.
"I....I agree with Usagi-san.....you should chill out...."I said to Nezumi but still I'm scared on what is she going to say.
Nezumi let out a big sigh and just continued her questions by saying it properly,she crossed her arms,face Usagi-san and said,
"First,this is the thing I really want to clarify.........is this puzzle a riddle?"
"Uhuhuhuhuhuhu~ How should I know?I'm only a stuff rabbit~!"
"C...Cut the crap off!!I am not kidding!If you don't answer me properly then I will rip you off!"Nezumi said angrily.
"THEN DO IT.You will need me more than I need you."Usagi-san said with a plain voice.
Nezumi didn't continue her move,she's so pissed off and you can tell it by looking at her body posture.Both of her fists are tightly gripped through her palms and her eyes are like burning red....literally.Suddenly Usagi-san spoke.
"Well this is the only thing I could say.BE CAREFUL,why is that?because once you push the wrong answer on every puzzle that I give to you.The reward of the originally CP will go down to 1 point.For example!the puzzle has a total of 2 CP,just like now and then Minami or Nezumi chose the wrong answer to that puzzle and what's going to happen you ask?That 2 CP will be a 1 CP so that means if you answered that puzzle but the CP reward is only 1 CP then you two will have to share that CP!"
"So....my CP will only get the half of that 1 CP which is 1/2?"I asked.
"CORRECT~!That's right!"
"But if our 1 hour on solving this puzzle finishes....will the original CP reward will still low down to 1 CP?"
"Right again Minami-chwan~!and it will go on and go on! even if you reach the negative score because here in my room(Mr.Rabbit's room), you should finish all of the puzzle,EVEN IF IT MEANS FOREVER."Usagi-san said in a happy voice.
"
FUZAKERUNA!(Don't joke around!!!! or *F**K OFF!)"Nezumi shouted.
"Nezumi-chwan~ do you think I am fooling around? and just what happened to your cool aura?Why did you became a really scared girl?ahahahaha~ this gap of yours is really cute~"
"H-HEY!Usagi-san!You're going too fa--"
"Minami....it's okay."Nezumi said as she stopped me from getting mad.
"Hey...Usagi...do you have any paper and pen I could use?"Nezumi said in a calm voice,good thing she calmed down.
"Ah yes,We have prepared those for the players to use.You can see it coming out of the panel,it's under the buttons.If you need another pair of pen and paper,there is a blue rectangular button near the horizontal hole and you just press that button and you'll get the piece of paper and pen that you want!"
As we walked towards the table,we saw a paper coming out of a thick horizontal hole,it's like those things that you can see in a convenience store when they give up your receipt and after we get the paper we heard a clank that was under the table and as we looked down,We saw a rectangular hole that has a pen on it and so Nezumi grabbed the pen and started to jot down the words of the puzzle.
I wondered what she is planning,she just re-wrote the whole sentence so how does it help? and besides isn't it already there?Star is definitely the answer to this puzzle!that's why Usagi-san gave this puzzle a 2 CP rank only! it's because it's easy! but as I look at Nezumi,her opinion was different....it's like she's finding a secret through this puzzle.
50 minutes has passed and we only got 10 more minutes to finish the puzzle.If can't solve this then we will loose 1CP on the original CP reward....I looked at Nezumi and she was so tensed but then I looked at the hologram screen,I re-read the whole sentence,
"Though I am dead, right from your view, I am still bright. Although we are far away from each other, Nod you head up high! Go and look to the sky and we will meet, eye to eye."After that,my eyes started to shimmer,I went to the panel and press the blue button.The paper and pen came out from were we get them earlier.After that I jotted down the whole sentence but in a different pattern and there I saw my answer.
"I FOUND IT!"I shouted out loud.
I went to the table again to push my designated answer and as I pushed that button,Nezumi stood up and said,
"ARE YOU INSANE?!DECIDING ON YOUR OWN ANSWER WILL NOT HELP!"She said angrily.
"Listen to me Nezumi!this answer is correct I'm sure of it!"
"And if it isn't?"
"Then you could slap me in the face or put both of our pens until my nose bleeds!"
".....Okay then....."
After that Nezumi and I faced to the hologramic screen.The screen says "ENTERING ANSWER....." and many seconds passed.A catchy tone suddenly appeared and there the screen says.....
"YOUR ANSWER IS CORRECT!You have gained 1 CP"
We looked at our left wrist and we saw that 1 Chip bar glow.Nezumi thanked me for my answer and then she questioned me,
"Hey....How did you figure it out?"
I went to the panel to show her my solution.I pressed the blue button to get another pen and paper.I really didn't need the pen so I just left it where it belongs.After that I wrote the whole sentence but in a different pattern.As Nezumi saw the finished output of what I've written,her easy also shimmered.
"I see....I can't believe that I didn't noticed that....thanks again."
"No it's okay!Now we understand that this puzzle is not a riddle but a hidden word puzzle."
"Yeah...Akimoto-sensei is really good at giving puzzles..."
"He did this?"
"Yes,Everything that's in here is made by him."
"I see....his puzzles are really hard then...."
This is only the start of the game and what welcomed us is a hard puzzle and it only consists of 2 CP's and if you shared it, you will just gain 1 CP....it's really far away to reach the full tank and to think that the answer to this puzzle isn't really that obvious.....this is how the word looks.
"Though I am dead, right from your view, I am still bright. Although we are far away from each other, Nod you head up high! Go and look to the sky and we will meet, eye to eye."
But then you would normally think "It's a star!It's soooooo obvious!" and I also thought of that! but Akimoyo-san didn't,at this puzzle it wasn't mentioned if it's a riddle or not and if it is then why hide it?Usagi-san gave me that clue of him by his actions.
"Uhuhuhuhuhuhu~ How should I know?I'm only a stuff rabbit~!"It was obvious that this puzzle is not a riddle by just avoiding Nezumi's question.So the only thing that you will think is that the answer to this puzzle is hidden.You need to find the hints to understand it and the hint that i found is....a comma (,).It was so suspicious to have many commas to that sentence.Mostly in the part where the puzzle says
" Nod you head up high! Go and look to the sky",If you were the one who will write the sentence then you can make the sentence much more shorter right?instead of a
" Nod you head up high! Go and look to the sky" sentence,you could have just write the word "Look through the sky" in the sentence and replace it!
And that was the time I wrote this pattern,
"Though I am dead,
right from your view,
I am still bright.
Although we are far away from each other,
Nod you head up high!
Go and
look to the sky and we will meet,
eye to eye."
and after that I saw my answer.You can also see it...by reading the first letters in every row and then I reached for the panel to press the triangle button.
After many minutes passed,Usagi-san's voice finally showed up.
"CONGRATULATIONS~!!"Usagi-san said in an English accent.
"Minami-chwan~!nice work!You figure out the answer to this puzzle~!But don't be too happy okay?I still have plenty more puzzles for you two~"
"Right now?We don't have any rest at all?"II asked.
"Fufufufufu~ of course~!this is not a hotel for you,ya know? this is MR.RABBIT'S ROOM!!!My room,my rules!now here comes Puzzle number 02 that consists of......6 CP."
"What" I said in my head.6 CP is a big amount of points.This is the puzzle that we must solve properly...no matter how hard it is,if this is the thing that will help me and Nezumi escape World 1 then I'm in!.
More challenges are blocking our path and this is just the start of our journey in PROTO.Just how can we surpass this blazing world called "hell"?
T.B.C.
