「Well, Natsuno-kun, wait here.」

At Oritachi Station there was a large building that was linked to the station.

Going inside, there was an escalator that you could ride to your desired floor. Reaching there, Aoba turned and told Taiyou to wait.

Her flopping trademark ponytail was so cute in a feminine way…Taiyou thought silently.

「Are you going to be okay?」

「Yeah, just shopping, I’m fine alone. You can wait for me, Natsuno-kun. You want to raise your level, right?」

「I can come along a bit…I mean, if I do something separate, there’s no reason we came here together…」

「Then I’ll go for you, I’ll be your representative.」

「I don’t know what you mean by that.」

Or that it meant nothing, Taiyou thought.

「That’s not so, I always go with you in my heart. Pretty much together always, as we share the same heart.」

「I guess you can use something like that when we’re far apart.」

「That’s why I’ll go with you and it’ll be fine, desu.」

He ignored Hera’s response and said:

「Since you’re so willing to give in, having you go along with her makes me worry even more.」

「Wha! That’s rude, desu.」

Hera put both hands up and growled at him.

「Okay, well then I’ll find a place to sit and level up, so…」

「I’ll come back and tell you when we’re ready to join you again, desu.」

「Yeah, that’s fine.」

Taiyou nodded and watched Aoba and Hera leave.

He looked around him and walked to find a place to sit.

He walked around the store and found a bench next to the bathroom to sit, sat, and took out the earphone from his pocket.

The cord was pretty jumbled up, so he went to untangle it.

A repeated, meaningless task.

No, all the meaningless tasks had ended.

One might say that about leveling up, but you could feel something welling up in your heart as you did it.

The first time he felt that was digging a hole in the park, and he could feel it as he dug. Lately that feeling had given him pleasure.

If one were to give an example, it was like having a boner and walking around, letting it rub on your pants, something like that.

「Because I leveled up, that simple feeling changed, I guess.」

Taiyou spoke to himself alone.

It seemed clearly different than before, and it was interesting.
