Chapter 5: Wow, it Really IS a Small World for Us Gamers!

“Good job, Ren! That was awesome!”

I was once again greeted by Akira’s smile in the waiting room.

“Yeah, but it was really close! It was all thanks to the almighty Peregrine Stone.”

“It doesn’t really matter how you won as long as you did. Y’see, it’s not that the strong always win; it’s just that the winner is strong. You just proved that you can even beat magic knights as long as you have some extra cash. No brakes on the drama train!”

Well, it was my ridiculous firepower that brought her down through her guard, I can at least be proud of that. Even if there’s really nothing else to be proud of... There’s an element of drama to an ability that juuuust barely fails to secure the kill too! Cost aside, big damage always has drama at its core!

“Hah! You acted all big, and then you lost! I can only imagine your embarrassment, you nobody!”

Homura arrived and immediately began taunting Yukino. She looked really happy about it, too. No surprise there, considering how much she paid to see it.

“Oh, shut up. I’m not ashamed to lose to Ren. He’s just about as skilled as I am.”

“So what? You still lost! You lost, you lost! Looooooser!”

“What?! You wanna see who’s really a loser? Don’t leave your room, ’cause as soon as you do, I’m gonna come and give you a big whack upside the head!”

“Hey! No melee attacking in real life! That’s against the law!”

They both logged out to settle their problems elsewhere.

I think they might actually be fighting. Hope they’re okay.

“Um, anyway, now that you’ve beaten Yukino, it’s all uphill from here. I think we might really reach the finals together. You’d better win your semifinal match!”

“Yeah! I’ll be up against Akabane, huh?”

Akabane had already secured her advancement to the semifinals, which meant she and I were guaranteed to face each other. Akira’s side of the brackets was nearly at the quarterfinals.

“Yep. You’re sure to win, right? Tell me it’s gonna be you!” Akira stared at me heatedly, her face only inches from mine.

“Erm, yeah, sure. Y’know, it’s not often that you dislike somebody so much.”

“It’s not like I’m some kinda zen master. If someone like her had stuck to you like glue ever since kindergarten, you’d come to hate her, too. Spending time with you is fun, so that’s probably why you only ever see me smiling.”

“Mmm, I guess that makes sense.”

“Anyway, I’ll see you in the finals! Got it?”

“Yeah!”

At that moment, Akabane walked up to us.

Speak of the devil.

“My, I hope you don’t think you can win against me that easily.”

“Urk... Hello, Nozomi.” Akira’s expression hardened.

“Heya, Akabane. Good luck in our battle.”

“Yes, of course. But be prepared to lose. They may call you the Emperor of the Underpowered, but you’ve already shown off everything you have to offer. You’ve given me ample time to prepare countermeasures.”

“Oh? I had no idea you knew anything about me.”

“Of course I do. I entertain myself with a video game or two once in a while, you know.
