After leaving the Service Club, Shin returned ho, dropped his bag by the bed, and sat at his desk, turning on his computer.
Howork could wait—gaming ca first.
Shin was currently into an online RPG, a standard Japanese RPG with a slow pace. Shin wasn't picky, though.
The mont he logged in, a private ssage popped up.
Rescue Angel: "Hey, Zuke! Are you up for a raid this Saturday? It's the new high-difficulty one."
Yes, Shin's in-ga na was Zuke, which he also used as his userna when he entered "Infinite Horror VR."
Usernas are like habits; once you get used to one, you tend to reuse it across platforms. So, if you ever see "Zuke" around, it might just be Shin.
Zuke: "Got plans this Saturday, can't make it."
Shin quickly ssaged back to "Rescue Angel" that he was busy Saturday.
Since he'd promised Yukinoshita, he'd keep his word, though he'd rather be gaming.
Rescue Angel: "What? You, busy on a Saturday? A miracle! Not a date, is it?"
"Rescue Angel" was even more of a shut-in than Shin. While he mostly stayed ho on weekends, this player was online nearly 24/7.
Supposedly a girl, though Shin wasn't sure; anyone online could claim to be anything.
Zuke: "Not a date, but I might spend the whole day watching others date…"
He sighed. He and Yukinoshita, two singles, spending the weekend helping a couple—just felt odd.
Rescue Angel: "That sounds like a weird hobby... Can you do Sunday instead?"
Apparently content with Shin's vague explanation, Rescue Angel moved on to suggesting Sunday.
It was true that Shin typically gad all weekend, so Sunday seed open.
Unfortunately, just yesterday that would have worked. Now, thanks to the Service Club, Yukinoshita had also booked his Sunday.
Zuke: "I'm busy Sunday too…"
Rescue Angel: "What!? Are you turning into a normie?!"
Clearly, Rescue Angel had assud they were cut from the sa shut-in cloth.
Zuke: "It's just so personal stuff. Not everyone is online 24/7 like you, you know?"
Rescue Angel: "How rude! I do leave the house for school."
Zuke: "You're still in school?"
Shin was surprised to learn this. He'd assud she spent all day gaming.
Apparently... she might just be a chronic late arrival and early leaver.
Rescue Angel: "As long as it's not a date. All the decent players I know drop out as soon as they get a girlfriend."
Rescue Angel wasn't worried about his situation out of any special feelings, purely for his gaming skills.
Zuke: "True, but still, that sounds harsh…"
Rescue Angel: "I'm just saying—if you ever really want a date, I might help you out."
Zuke: "Pretty confident in calling yourself cute, huh?"
For all the raids they'd done together, this was the most he'd heard her talk.
Rescue Angel: "I'm not exaggerating. Back ho, I was called a once-in-a-lifeti beauty."
Zuke: "What, are the people there all ancient spirits?"
Zuke didn't take it seriously. Online, anyone can claim anything.
Zuke: "Anyway, I'm busy this weekend. Let's raid next week."
Rescue Angel: "Fine. If you're out, I can't find enough teammates anyway. Good ti to go to my job, I guess."
Zuke: "You have a job?"
Rescue Angel: "My allowance is tight; it barely covers my gaming expenses, so I got a part-ti job… though I haven't gone in ages."
Zuke: "The fact you still have the job is a miracle. That boss must be a saint."
From this conversation, Shin could practically picture this player's lifestyle—late to school, obsessed with online gas, being absent from work…
No, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this girl is a useless person.
