After paying the bill, I leave the coffee shop with Rio.
I can write off the bill here as an expense later.
Is the station okay?
Yes.
Then Ill walk you to the ticket gate.
Thank you.
According to what I heard, Rio lives three stations away.
It takes less than 10 minutes by train.
Thank you for today.
Im looking forward to seeing you on Friday.
I saw Rio off as she entered the ticket gate.
Rio is waving at me
The gesture was so cute that it almost made my heart stop, but I managed to hold it in and wave back.
Well, I should go home too.
When I couldnt see Rio, I left the station and started walking back to my apartment.
It was still a little chilly in the early spring evening.
Rio-san was cute
I remember the incident with the coffee shop and Rio on her way home.
With that, I feel that something is wrong, even though I am the best pro gamer in Japan.
Im home.
Oh, Onii, welcome home!
Yuzukis voice comes from the living room.
Dinner is almost ready.
Yuzuki was standing in the kitchen when I entered the living room.
Yuzuki is the one who does all the cooking and housework in our house.
Im always sorry.
I dont mind. I like to do it, and if I dont do it, youll just eat cup noodles.
I am not a good cook.
I can do the bare minimum, but I dont think Ill go out of my way to make it just for myself.
In that respect, Yuzukis cooking is extremely tasty.
I can still vividly remember my father shedding tears when I told him that it tasted just like my mothers.
Yes, its ready.
Thank you.
Dinner was lined up on the table.
Todays dinner is beef stew.
Onii, are you going to collaborate with Rio Natsume?
Yuzuki asked as she ate her dinner.
Yes, but how do you know?
I follow Rios SNS.
Thats rare. Are you interested in games?
Yuzuki didnt pretend to be interested in games such as FPS.
Rio-san is very popular among girls.
Is that so?
Last time I saw her, she was collaborating with an apparel brand.
Apparently, it seems that the popularity of women who was originally popular has been further ignited by the collaboration with the brand.
In addition to that, it is so popular that it is ranked 3rd in the ranking of the face you want to be.
Im not the only one whos in the minority
The only thing I can do is play games.
Most of the projects were related to games.
Dont worry, itll be fine. You are the best in the world at games.
Oh, oh. Thank you.
After finishing my meal, I watched Rios videos on a video streaming site.
I knew she might be better than me in the mid-range .
The reason is that I wanted to understand the habits of Rios play.
It is important to study not only enemies but also allies.
And the collaboration with Rio Natsume will change my life.
