Chapter 82 - Entering the venue and the 3 girls (1/2)
So…no real excuses for the delay. Just a case of me being busy and being too exhausted to even feel like translating anything.
Hopefully the next chapter will be out sooner, enjoy the chapter.
We ate the waffles I made for a snack and finally got to the main objective of our gathering, which was to have a group study. We stopped before it got dark.
More than half the time was spent talking about game related stuff, but since we had finished covering what would be in the test it was fine.
After bringing the laundry inside, about the time I was done making preparations for dinner, Rise and Mom came back home while carrying a huge amount of stuff.
Once I took a look inside the bags I saw a huge amount of cloth…nope, for some reason it seems like they had gone to the supermarket and bought ingredients. I’m thankful.
They stood next to me, who kept making the food and started putting the food inside the fridge.
「Wataru. It smells good, but what’s in the menu for dinner?」 (Akeno)
「Ah, chicken stew, fried mackerel, boiled spinach, mushroom miso soup…something like that.
「Since we didn’t eat rice today, I made it Japanese style.」 (Wataru)
「Oh my, that sounds great. Our lunch was kinda heavy.」 (Akeno)
「Is that so? What did you eat?」 (Wataru)
「Fast food. We ate in an hamburger shop.」 (Rise)
「Eh? Why?」 (Wataru)
I unconsciously stopped moving my hands and looked at them.
Since they were going to eat outside, it would have been fine if they went to a better place.
Didn’t they have enough time? Or was it because the shops were crowded?
Just when I thought that, they both said that they went there on purpose.
「Since Wataru makes only healthy things, sometimes we feel like going to those kinds of cheap places to eat. Right? Rise-chan.」(Akeno)
「Yes. We stopped there without noticing.」 (Rise)
「I see. So, how was it?」 (Wataru)
When I asked that, they glanced at each other and showed an ambiguous smile.
「…This time, let’s buy some hamburger bread and make some at home.」 (Akeno)
「That’s right. If inside there were burgers made by nii-san, I’m sure they’d come out really tasty.」 (Rise)
「There’s no way that would be possible…」 (Wataru)
These two tend to do things that I don’t really understand quite frequently.
In the end, this is turning into a conversation that makes me unable to understand why they even went out for such.
To begin with, if we are going that far, I might as well make the buns at home too.
We have a gas oven after all, it would be a waste to not use it.
「Oh well. For the time being, let’s eat dinner. Come on, bring the stuff over to the table.」 (Wataru)
「Got it.」 (Akeno)
「Understood.」(Rise)
After dinner, I cleaned up the tableware and after finishing preparing the ingredients for tomorrow, I took a bath.
Once I finished doing everything I had to do, it was finally time for the finals.
There was more than enough time, so I logged into the main site first and bet my entire savings too…
「Well then, time to go.」 (Wataru)
After stretching, I put on the VR gear and lie down on the bed.
「Ooh, the size of the colosseum has gotten bigger…」
The ones used for the group tournaments were just copy pasted and all the same, but it seems like the one used for the finals is completely different.
After moving to the venue from Sala after logging in…I appeared within the colosseum that was many times the size of the previous one.
After taking a small look at the scenery outside, I got the feeling that it was the same as the one for the group tournaments, how do they make it to stay the same way?
Do they exist in parallel while being part of another dimension…or something like that?
I don’t really get it, but in that huge place there were already a big amount of players crowding into it.
「Ah, it’s the True Self.」
「You are right. However, the remote weapon Hero-chan is not there though?」
「Won’t she come here later?…Whoa, he looked here!!」
「Be careful! If you meet his eyes, you’ll get turned into a remote weapon too!」
As if! is what I wanted to retort with all my might when I heard such conversation, but I managed to keep calm.
Bear it, you have to keep calm.
Though, there are more people using True Self than I thought there would…but since Yumir is not next to me the amount is moderate, I started moving around quietly so I didn’t stand out.
Leaving that aside, when I opened my inventory and saw the 0G in my possession, I felt sad…
Because you can even bet the single digit numbers of cash, under Miyu and Shuuhei’s supervision, I properly bet all I owned which was about 300.000G.
At the end, our position was still last but our betting odds got up to 50x, so if we win we’ll get the huge amount of 15.000.000G but…
「I doubt it’ll go that well though…」
「「Who are we?」」
