Short Story Collection: Chapter 1 – Karen Tendou and Masked Gamer
Today, she visited me, Karen Tendou (5th grade), in my room again, just as usual.
“Hey, hey! Here comes the Masked Gamer!”
“Hello, Sheena-san.”
“…I’m the Masked Gamer.”
“…Hello, Masked Gamer.”
“Hehe, well, hello, hello!”
This onee-san is always noisy.
I smiled at the magical girl mask-wearing pervert- no, the kind onee-san.
“Well, what we’re going to do today, Mafuyu-“
“Masked Gamer!”
“…Masked Gamer-san.”
It’s been one year since I started playing video games with this girl in my neighborhood.
Initially, our relationship is “a lonely genius and a kind onee-san.” Right now, it turned into “a dumb onee-san that self-proclaim as master of gaming and an innocent child that’s willing to play with her” ultimately.
She turned on a racing game and put a controller in front of me.
“Hehe, …I’ll not go easy on you, Karen-chan.”
“No, you never went easy on me-“
“Ah, Karen-chan, there’s a UFO outside!”
“Can’t you act more like an adult!?”
“Eh, hiya!? Crap, I can’t see the screen from the holes in my mask at all!”
“You deserved it, right!?”
Masked Gamer-san always ended up like this.
She’s immature, embarrassing, serious in gaming, and…
“Haha, I won again, Masked Gamer!”
“This pisses me off!”
…That’s why I sincerely love the time when I get to play video games with her.
“One more round, Karen-chan!”
“Alright, alright…”
“The mask is troublesome! I’ll throw it away!”
“Seriously!?”
So, I, Karen Tendou, was perhaps influenced by this Masked Gamer -Sheena-san. She taught me all this.
“I love video games.”
“I have to play seriously.”
“I shouldn’t be embarrassed (negative example).”
