”Why are you being so stubborn, Chiaki!? 'Moe' is a universal quality that makes every work complete!”

”Oho, co that you need 'moe' even for a war movie?”

”Like I said—! Why are your ideas so extreme!?”

”Is being extreme that bad~? Aren't personal opinions supposed to be biased~? fun~, this is why a lonely boy who believes that staying neutral is better than giving constructive comments is…”

”I don't want to be like a boring adult, but I guess it's better than creators who don't care like you”

”Shut up, chibi”

”How uncute, you 'seaweed girl'”

After school, sitting across each other at a desk, a boy and a girl glared at each other

”You guys, get along—…Hah…”

Sitting in between the two, I tried to stop their fighting while yawning loudly Naturally, though, their fight wasn't some alone… finally, I came to a conclusion

”(This Hobby Club is so boringggggggggg!)”

It's already been a ularly, the club met about once or twice a week, and this is already the tenth , but…

To be frank, after the eighth tiht about the saain Ale tile ti pretty fast

Also, this fight is… it's certainly a fight, but froely itch from time to time…

”Oh, by the way”

Taking a pause fro his ”h before continuing to talk

”Chiaki, how far have you gotten in Kurikure 3?”

Taking a sip of her coffee-flavored soylook she had on her face earlier

”Fufu~n Listen carefully, Keita I… have finally reached the great capital city, Elst!”

”Oh, me too”

”Eh!? Ugu… and I thought I was ahead of you…!”

”No, that's what I should be saying Yesterday, ress done”

”S-same here It was the first time I showed off in years, too…!”

They both glared at each other while grinding their teeth in irritation then a few seconds of silence passed

”… The the boss of Thirst Valley was good…”

Amano muttered as he averted his eyes

”… Well… that… the setup and the background ood, it was difficult but not unreasonable, and the boss' behavioral pattern was good as well, so certainly, it was a good boss…”

Hoshi+noaze and timidly replied

The two of thelances at each other, but never faced each other directly Continuing the conversation, they kept fidgeting

”A-and then the balance of the dungeons are as good as they can possibly be Even though skills improve and better weapons drop at a reasonable pace, the battles don't becoame's difficulty is perfectly adjusted!”

”Yeah, yeah! It really lived up to expectations! Keita, you have a good eye for detail! That's exactly right! Sadly, I don't have anyone to talk about the game like that with On the internet, the topic has shi+fted to speedrunning since they have already cleared the gaamers like us…”

”Yes! That's right! I only have a short tiood at it and also have other games to play, so I don't have anyone else to talk to who's on the saaame, wait…”

”I knohat you aress! Well, it's not like I have much friends in the first place…”

”Yea… There aren't any friends who are progressing at the same rate we do…”

”Because of that, I've been trying to pass you in the game lately…”

”Yea, me too…”

They began to fidget and glanced at each other once again And then…

”But, I hate the heroine Lisa because she's so pushy”

”Hah!? That's being pushy? Hirl who immediately labels a 2D heroine as ”unrealistic” is…”

”Hah!? Disgusting! There isn't any boy out there ould start defending a heroine character like her—”

Suddenly, their gentle conversation took a turn and they started fighting for a second round Even though they were averting their eyes fro at each other and quarrelling

While I watched over tarmly… my mind screamedinside

”(Go marry already and do this at homeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)”

Do you understand? This fight is a fight, but… it looks like a lover's quarrel I can't stand to watch this;too loudly

”(Even though looking over Amano's love comedy is like a hobby…!Somehohen I watch them talk, it's way too sweet!)”

Far fro my distance, I'm surprised because I insist that I'm not friends with the here after school these days?

Also, because there's the difficult situation with irlfriend, it's even ht now if I got up and hit Ah it was definitely an outburst of anger, taking the circuuilty”

While I was going through various e

”The scene where Lisa gets jealous of Serena is thescene!”

”Ah, that event is really disgusting It always feels like a love comedy as well, but especially, why is the heroine, who isn't even going out with the protagonist, getting et it She doesn't have the right to get mad”

”No, she definitely has the right! Then Chiaki, if you saw a boy you were interested in walking with a cute girl, ould you think!?”

”Eh, I-I… um…”

Hoshi+nolance towards me …Honestly, I’ve known that she’s been emotionally attached to ly natural ood will seriously It’s probably similar to how A in chicks; having made a new friend, she was probably

She sent me a flustered look as our eyes met After a few moments of contemplation, she answered Amano with a wry smile

”I… if I saw the boy I liked having fun with a girl, I think I would be sad for a little while… but, eventually, I would only think 'Good for theet mad Yeah”

Watching her reply so bashfully, both A in surprise and sunk into silence… As she hung her head in ehtly and whispered into his ear
