After dinner, Kaede rested for a while, took a shower, and returned to his room, preparing to play gas.
As soon as he entered, he saw his phone flashing.
Picking it up and lighting the screen, he saw it was a LINE ssage from Eriri.
After joining the Art Club, at the suggestion of the president, everyone in the Art Club exchanged contact information, so Kaede naturally had Eriri's LINE ID.
Opening the ssage, Kaede understood what Eriri wanted to say.
[You must have finished your howork, right? Get online, let's play!]
Having finally found a like-minded person who was also from the sa school and the sa club, and who wouldn't expose her identity, Eriri was still excited from the ti they parted until she got ho. After resting for a while after dinner, she imdiately ssaged Kaede.
However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, the ssage was still unread, which made Eriri a bit depressed.
Seeing Eriri's ssage, Kaede didn't object and happily replied.
[Sorry, I was just showering and just saw the ssage. Wait a mont, I'll be online soon.]
Since he was going to play gas, and with soone else at that, he needed to prepare his supplies first.
Holding his phone and asking Eriri what she planned to play, Kaede went downstairs.
After getting a bottle of cola and two bags of potato chips from the kitchen refrigerator, Kaede walked upstairs under the watchful eyes of his parents, still tapping away on his phone.
After watching her son go up, Asakura Reiko ca to her husband and whispered: "Honey, the way our son has been since he ca ho this afternoon seems a little strange."
"There is sothing, but I think he's fine."
Nodding, Asakura Kiichi wasn't too worried. "Kaede is a very mature child, and if sothing serious happened, he wouldn't hide it from us, right?"
"That's true, but I'm still curious." Asakura Reiko said, "And rember, Kaede said he was busy at the Bunko until two in the afternoon, but he didn't co ho until after five. Do you think he was alone outside during the rest of that ti?"
"I don't know. Are you suggesting..."
Asakura Reiko looked curious: "Exactly, there must be sothing suspicious going on. I'm going to investigate the situation now."
Similar things had happened many tis over the past few years, but they were never about their son dating.
Asakura Kiichi didn't try to stop his wife, smiling as he said: "Well, be careful not to get caught."
After giving her husband an OK gesture, Asakura Reiko walked upstairs with light steps.
In his bedroom, after bringing his things in, Kaede opened the cola and took a sip, plugged in his earphones, and answered the voice call from Eriri.
"You play more varied gas than I thought. You even play Monster Hunter?"
He then turned on the TV and PS4 Pro in his bedroom and sat down on his beanbag chair.
On the other side, Eriri, who was at her own ho, was in a similar state to Kaede. Wearing a nightgown and sitting "duck style" in front of her bedroom TV, she happily added Kaede as a PSN friend.
"Hmph hmph hmph, I play a lot of gas. The only ones I'm probably not good at are those MOBA competitive gas."
"DOTA?"
"Exactly. Whether it's DOTA or LOL, I'm not very good at them. After ssing up a few matches for people, I deleted the gas." Recalling the tis she tried MOBA gas, Eriri felt quite helpless. "I really have no talent for them. On the computer, I ended up only being able to play GAL gas or simulation managent gas."
"Mmm, that's understandable. After all, these gas are quite selective. They're easy to start, but playing them well requires a lot of practice, and there are many hero characters. Even if you only play one position, you still need to practice more than one hero."
While discussing, Kaede also joined the gathering hall that Eriri had opened.
Eriri spotted Kaede's character and asked before he entered the gathering area, "Warrior of Light? Why did you pick that na?"
"Oh, you'll know when you see it in a mont. Ah, we've arrived."
As soon as she entered, Eriri froze when she saw the character suddenly appear before her, carrying a greatsword on his back, and then she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, what is that? Wh—Why is your head glowing!!!"
In Eriri's view, the rest of the ga character looked normal, and the gear was top-notch, but when the helt wasn't displayed, it revealed a large, white, glowing head emitting a gentle light, like an incandescent bulb.
And not only that, but the character also had a mohawk haircut.
Comparing him to Eriri's own cute female character, it instantly felt like they were characters from two different worlds.
"Pfft... Hahahaha, I c—I can't stop... Warrior... Warrior of Light, is that the reason? Hahahahaha~~~~~~"
Listening to Eriri's clear but non-stop laughter, Kaede couldn't help but smile. He had created the character like this specifically for this effect, and it seed to have worked quite well.
After Eriri had laughed for a good while, he finally said, "Are you done laughing? It's ti to start playing."
"Mhm... I need a drink of water..."
After picking up the cup beside her and taking a sip, Eriri looked at Kaede's character and nearly burst out laughing again.
"Can... can you display your helt? I can't play properly like this!"
"I didn't realize Sawamura-san's sense of humor was so weak."
"It's not weak!"
Eriri was quite insistent about her sense of humor and imdiately retorted, "I was just caught off guard! Plus, your head really is hilarious, and I couldn't recover imdiately! So hurry up and put the helt on!"
"Alright, alright, I'll change it now."
Having no choice, Kaede went into the settings and displayed the helt.
As soon as the helt was put on, the look instantly changed. The glowing head was covered, but light still shone through the eye slits of the helt, making him look incredibly cool.
"Huh! You can do that? That's so cool!"
Controlling her character to approach Kaede, Eriri looked left and right in surprise. "Should I try to make one too? How did you do that?"
"When you change your hairstyle in the room, you just maximize the face paint setting, cover the entire head, and then max out the brightness. You can do more than just white light like mine; gold light, green light, whatever."
While explaining, Kaede looked at Eriri's character and said, "But the character you created is already very cute, so don't ruin her. Alright, accept the quest, and let's start quickly."
Kaede was happily playing the ga, while outside the bedroom, his mother, Asakura Reiko, was pressed against the door, straining to listen.
Unfortunately, the room was well soundproofed, and she could only faintly make out a few words like "sense of humor" and "cute."
Although she didn't catch everything, Asakura Reiko still guessed that her son was chatting with a girl.
Clenching her fists, she silently cheered in her heart, "Even though I don't know what kind of girl she is, son, you can do it!"
