"Huh?! The night sky is here, too!! ”

It took five minutes for Maria to wash her hands and happily eat the chicken nuggets before the classroom door was knocked on again.

Walking in, Hoshina glared in surprise as she looked at Maria, who was eating a bento in the activity room.

After eating a piece symbolically in the night sky before, it didn't move, and it didn't look like it didn't like it, and it wasn't too confident in the taste, but, for the night sky as a girl, the lethality of the greasy fried chicken nuggets on the body was still a little too brutal, and Maria, who was still growing her body, and Qianhe, who was consuming a lot, didn't have any worries about this.

"It's too late."

Ruita, who was carrying a physics formula on his back, rolled his eyes at Xingna.

It's been about half an hour since school ended, and in a little while, it's almost time for Kitty Hawk, who is on duty today.

"People can't help it, because the boys in the class are always pestering people, singing and going shopping or something, obviously they have said that if something happens, they still come up one after another and say that they want to go together."

Hoshina frowned.

"Hmph, isn't it natural to stay in your own possessions? …… It's the meat over there, appearing in someone else's territory for no reason, please die, okay? ”

The night sky coldly said lines that were more excessive than those of a third-rate thug.

"People are also members of the department!"

"Huh? Is it a new member of the department? ”

Maria frowned, carefully hiding a piece of fried chicken as she moved.

It seems that years of food scarcity have developed a stress instinct similar to that of dogs storing food.

"The expired meat that costs only 100 yen over there has nothing to do with the club."

"Now that it's expired, take it off the shelf!"

“…… Where are you complaining? ”

"And they're also members of the ministry! You are a member of the neighborhood society! ”

Xingnai was teary-eyed, and it was quite pitiful to suddenly change from being arrogant to being low, but for the big S night sky, this could only further stimulate her sadistic instincts.

“…… Kashiwazaki-san, don't you have something to tell me? ”

Looking at the night sky where his eyes became a little wrong, Rui Tai hurriedly coughed and reminded Xingna, who seemed to have forgotten about this stubble. Although the predator-like love between the two has nothing to do with him, there is no possibility of reading books in this environment...... And if Xingna comes to the classroom of the second class again, his position will be more troublesome, and it is better to find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible.

"Ah, that's right! People are looking for you! ”

Xingna glared at the night sky and used [Lai Ding! After dropping the sentence "People are also members of the neighborhood department, don't exclude others", he hurriedly ran out of the neighborhood department with Ruitai's sleeve.

"It's okay if you don't have to pull me! …… The night sky, so let's be with you for a while. ”

was taken by Hoshina to the best place to whisper - the staircase, Ruita sorted out the ripped sleeves, and said to Hoshina helplessly: "So, what is the matter?" ”

"This is what people want to ask you for!"

Originally, Ruita thought that Hoshina wanted to hide from the night sky and Kitty because he was embarrassed about something, but Hoshina happily took out an object with a rounded shape from the bag he was carrying-

"Isn't this a handheld?!"

The one that Hoshina brought out was what Ruita had packed up with old books after he went to high school and sold it - a handheld game console, and the silver streamlined metal case meant that this model was a rare item that would only be available to avid fans of the limited pre-order edition, not only to pre-order online in advance, but also to queue up in front of the store early in the morning.

Could it be that the all-round scholar and martial arts Hoshino Kashiwazaki is actually a game lover?

However, looking at Xingnai's somewhat clumsy way of manipulating the buttons, he really doesn't look like a hardcore player who is proficient in this.

"Where did you get this handheld?"

"Huh? Is this one? Because I asked a little bit, and then the boys in the class lent it to me. ”

"Borrowing ......"

Should I say that it really deserves to be Xingnai? If it's not a limited model, it's a bit painful for collectors, so you might just give it away.

"Well, I'll return it tomorrow, because Daddy said that you can't just take other people's things."

Eh, I didn't expect this guy to have a lot of common sense? - Just when Rui Tai slightly changed his opinion of Hoshina's image.

"It's not a big deal anyway, just ask Daddy to buy it for someone."

“…… yes. ”

It's also very convenient to get what you want, and it's worthy of being a big lady.

There is a fundamental difference in values with Ruitai, who has been holding pocket money for a long time to get the basic model.

"Well, that's it."

Although Xingnai's hand is not very proficient, the operation is quite smooth as a novice, and it seems that it took a lot of effort to do it before.

"Huh? Is it the 'Tale of Things' series? ’”

Xingnai rushed the screen of the handheld to Ruitai,It shows the screen of the latest version of a national-level handheld action RPG game,The game itself contains quite a lot of content,Various social elements and the structure of the world world is perfect,And the basic content of the adventure is to explore the underground labyrinth,Kill monsters、Collect materials、Make clothing,Exercise ability-After upgrading, continue to explore the lower level of the maze-such a game,In the past, Rui Tai was really addicted to it。

"Huh? So you know this game? ”

A happy smile immediately appeared on Hoshina's face.

Isn't it-

Just when "It's not good" flashed in Ruita's mind, Hoshina had already said what he was asking for.

"Eh, so, let's play this with people."

Hoshina shook the handheld in his hand.

"It's an honor to be able to play with a beautiful girl like someone else, so hurry up and thank me!"

The coquettish tone is not a joke, but Hoshina really thinks so, in other words, for Hoshina, who is surrounded by boys, this is a matter of course.

But because of this, Hoshina, who said "Come and worship me" with a great attitude, makes people feel like a brain-dead.

"Absolutely not."

"Not even the slightest hesitation?!"

The rejection of Hoshina looks quite incredible, but for Ruita, it is a matter of course - if it is any other tricky trouble, you can listen to it, but the time-squeezing activity of playing games is still avoided.

Moreover, the score is only a fraction of a centimeter different from himself, and the true appearance of Xingna, who makes him scared, makes Ruitai, who is studying hard and worried about being taken away from the first place by the other party, feels a little sad for himself.

How to say it, that kind of mood is probably like the brave man who desperately improves his level in order to be able to deal with the demon king, but what he sees is the NEET demon king who will be anemic when he is exposed to the sun without leaving home.

"People! …… People don't care! ”

Hoshina's posture suddenly became tougher.

"Let's play games together, it's going to be fun for two people!"

“…… Even if you say that, I don't want to. ”

It seems that Hoshina, who has never had friends, is more lonely than he imagined.,The reason why I'm entangled with Ruita,Probably because Ruita, who has a different attitude with the male classmates in the class, makes Hoshina finally have an equal exchange partner.。

"This kind of thing, it's okay to go to the night sky and Kitty Hawk, right?"

"Hmph...... Before telling Yaga about the night sky, you have to leave her far behind. ”

It's just a game, what are you better at?

However, for Xingnai, pressing the night sky seems to be the top priority, and because of this, even the talkative eagle spared it - although it was a brainless weak lady, it seemed to be quite strong.

Stronger?

Ruita thought of a way to get Hoshina out of the way.

"Hmph, Kashiwazaki-san......"

"It's okay to call Xingna."

"So, Hoshina, there's no way I'm going to play this game with you."

"Oh, it's a companion who will team up together in the future, so don't be so cold."

…… What a cheeky lady.

"Ahem, that's a very simple reason - you, the level is too low."

All in all, try to say such lines in a contemptuous tone - because he is too pretentious, it makes Ruitai, who remembers bad memories, have goosebumps all over his body.

"Too low......?"

"Hah! Because I'm not interested in teaching rookies! ”

Hoshina, who was shaken by Ruita's pretended lines, widened her eyes.

"I've played this game before!"

"Huh? Has Rui Tai played? ”

Thinking that Rui Tai was also a beginner like himself, Xingna showed a surprised expression.

“…… That's right. ”

In contrast, Ruita's cheeks twitched slightly.

It's really unimaginable to look like an honor student holding a book now, but a teenager named Ruitai Ji Tang used to be a serious [secondary two disease patient] when he was in middle school.

It was a shameful past when just recalling it could make the teenager's bone marrow burned to ashes.

"[Monogatari series] takes a linkage archive, in addition to linking to the public servo to adventure together, the archive can also be transferred instantly."

Putting the physics book in his shirt pocket, Ruita took the handheld from Xingna's hand and skillfully operated it.

The connection to the network is very smooth, and after entering the password in the personal space, Ruitai can easily retrieve the file of the [Dawn of the Holy Dragon Knight] from the data on the server.

"...... [Dawn of the Holy Dragon Knight]?"

Worst!

Because I was thinking about a password that I hadn't used for a long time, I was a little distracted, but I didn't notice that Hoshina was looking at this side with a curious face!

Meow's must be Kong Ming's conspiracy!

Rui, who was in a mess, couldn't wait to strangle himself to death who gave the archive such a name that exuded a strong name of the second kitchen and bathroom.

"Oops, this file should be set automatically by the system, right?"

Ruita, who was in a cold sweat, used a very fake tone under the guise of a very fake tone, but fortunately, Hoshina's attention seemed to be all on the game itself at this time.

After a while, after the data was logged in, Ruitai hurriedly called up the file and entered the game.

"Wow-"

Hoshina, who was watching Ruita's movements, let out a surprised exclamation.

The "Holy Dragon Knight of Dawn", which is covered in glittering enhanced equipment all over its body, is indeed quite eye-catching, although there is nothing to be proud of, but it is also something that Rui Tai has spent a lot of effort on.

Although I can't find the meaning of the passion in the first place.

"So, you're not the same level as me."

Rui Tai said in a tone of feigned contempt.

According to Xingnai's strong character, there shouldn't be any entanglement here.

"Well, I see!"

Hoshina nodded.

“…… That's good. ”

Although it is developing in the direction he wants, Rui Tai is a little reluctant in his heart.

"I will definitely reach the same level of strength as Ruitai!"

Yes?
