in Kasukabe, on what seemed to be a freezing January Saturday night, Konata was playing her usual MMORPG, without any worry just as she usually did in her days of total freedom. She didn't have any annoying tests the following week and she had all her homework done, or knowing her case, all of it was cleverly copied from Kagami, so she could enjoy her usual stuff without getting alarmed.

"Just another critical hit... and got it! Another enemy defeated! "The little otaku commented during her gameplay, expecting the enemy to drop any low-leveled item planning to sell it for a few meaningless coins so her limited item storage, but much to her surprise, she got an ultimate rare item. The item was so rare, that it warped thought reality and space.

"Whoa, what's this? What's going on?!"Reacted an amazed Konata as a bright light flashed thought the room and blinded her for a brief amount of time until the item she got, landing safely on Konata's table. It was a tiny blue star-shaped figurine that emitted a lovely bluish light out of itself. Its size was small enough to be carried perfectly into Konata's tiny hands and could perfectly be in place with the anime figurines Konata had in her room.

"Oh my? It's that the item I picked up from the game. This is sooo cool! But how did it end up on my table? No way! I must be dreaming!" Immediately Konata Reacted amazed wondering how it was even possible when suddenly, a window popped up with the item's name and description on her computer's screen:

"Congratulations Lucky one, you've got the Lucky Star! This is a rare item that only showcases once in a lifetime to very few people trespassing both the 2d and the 3d world like it was nothing and it can grant only one wish. Yup, just one wish of any possible nature, even the impossible could be wished (with the sole exception of infinite wishes, of course, we know you were tempting to do it)!"

Realizing this by reading the description, she paused the game for a bit, saved and wondered to herself:

"A wish of any nature and I only get to have one? Fair but really hard to just have one... there are so many things I want... Being billionaire forever, having my successful animanga published by a famous editorial, a giant house to stuff all my otaku collection, becoming a real magical girl and do neat stuff… or maybe..."

Thinking about what to wish to the Lucky Star, a sudden thought invaded her mind, or rather, a flashback of a distant memory of herself in her first years of existence, a happy memory of her being with her lovely maternal figure, Kanata Izumi, who was unfortunate to have her live ending because of her fragile body severely weakened by her birth, recalling with it another unfortunate events in her life where she felt quite bad of her not being around due to her unfortunate passing

"That one wish… even after so many failed attempts I still want it to happen… she said in a quite sad mood after remembering really should be careful with this…"

Due to her mighty knowledge of the tropes she often saw and complained in videogames, animanga, and doujinshis she saw, she knew how those wish grating devices could be a risky deal for her. Like a double-edged sword, it could end in an easily successful wish with nothing wrong, or into the opposite like the curse of a monkey's paw and screw everything she knew, but besides that, the one thing that she completely feared the most is the chance of her mother being perfectly able to resurrect but rejecting the chance of reuniting with her.

"Geez, this is so freaking hard to think without screwing up too much, and I don't want to activate that "wishing to know the rules counts as a wish" rule by accident…"

Konata thought as she became a bit desperate, fearing if there was a sort of hidden time limit so she could ask for the wish. But at the same time, for the first time in years, she began to hope it working again, as in her logic, if a magical item can travel from the 2d world into her reality, maybe this could break reality or whatever to grant her wish. Finally, an idea came out of her small head about how she should ask it and she quietly whispered to the device:

"I doubt this will ever come true or even work... but if this is a valid and possible wish, could you grant my mother the chance to be back with us in the safest and more wholesome way possible? I wish her to be around here… if she would like it"

Immediately after she ended, the star reacted emitting a bluish glow that spread across the whole room of the otaku girl. As Konata was surprised again, she heard a strange noise from inside the device giving her a message:
""Your wish shall be granted Konata Izumi, now, as you requested, this device will grant it, but now immediately, as it will take an unknown time to be done, due to the nature of it. Expect it soon.."

After finishing with the message, the item stopped to glow, indicating its power vanished. It used again; the star-shaped figurine would only now act as a tiny blue light to slightly illuminate the room in the dark

"Well, I hope all of this is true. If it is... I don't know how to react. This is crazier than all the anime, manga and videogames I've ever experienced… WAIT A MINUTE, IS MY PC OK?!"

She checks her computer to make sure no damage was done by the device on her operative system. Checking it out, she was relieved of seeing everything fine, as no data was damaged, but sadly for her, the servers were immediately closed just as she reached the main town again./p

"Fucking crap -_- these servers had to ruin my gaming night! Well, with the raid off and the otaku hour not showing anything neat I think I will take a few plays with my 3DS in bed…"/p

As she turned off the computer and played a quickie Kirby Planet Robobot on her tiny console, she thought of that device again and she silently thought "I hope this time isn't another scam or fake-out..." and after a few minutes, she turned off her console and fell deeply asleep in her comfy bed.
