Netoge Chapter 13

P1

>Are your game preparation done?
Sir, yes Sir!!

P2

"......What should we do?"

"What's wrong? You won't play L.A.?"

"I'll play."

"What? You'll get sick if we don't spoil you?"

"What's the matter? Why are you picking a fight?"

"I'm not picking a fight."

"If we log-in, will Sette-san still be here?"

Yeah...(Rusian)

"Of course. Because you've spoiled her."

P3

"......I want to play the game with everybody."

"That's right."

"Say, you also said it before, it's not like this is especially a L.A club."

"There's no problem even if we play another net game."

"......That's certainly true. As long as it's an online game, it's fine."

"I see, another game."

"Yeah, isn't it fine from time to time?"

"I think it's fine."

"That's true, from time to time."

"What game will we play?"

P4

"Let's see, there are numerous kind of net games."

"If we also include the consumer games with a COOP function, there is a myriad of games."

"These ones don't feel like net games."

"For the time being, I think that we should try briefly famous games.

I want to adopt it as the general education of the netgame club."

Yeah Yeah(Rusian)

"What's with that duty-like thing."

"I want to play that farming simulation!"

"How a large number of people can play a farming game?!"

"Then...... Yes!

I want to play a game where you shoot to death people!"

P5

"Ako, yellow card."

ピーッ *piiii*

"Huuh!?"

"By the way, what happen when it become red?"

"Even though she has to come to school, she's not alowed to come to the club."

"That's too far!"

"Then, should we play a FPS or a TPS or a shooting game?"

"I made preparations in case we were also doing that."

"For the time being, there is no loss if we pick a game with a good reputation within the free-to-play."

"Yes!"

ドーン　*bang*

バババババ　*shooting*

ズドーン　*thud*

P6

"Then, what should we do? Enter the appropriate beginner room and fight?"

"Right. I don't understand the controls well."

"Hmm, I can't use the weapon I've purchased with micro-transactions because my rank is too low."

"Why are you using micro-transactions form the start, Guildmaster?"

"It's the so-called offering."

"When the game you had fun with the open beta opens the micro-transactions,

Or when the game you're expecting is starting, you first of all put a little money on it,don't you?"

"I don't!"

"Team Death Match!"

ジャーン!! *tadah*

"You don't need to imitate the match starting call."

P7

"You guys, do you know the basic controls?

There's friendly fire in this room, be careful."

"There's a danger of friendly fire?"

"Then I'll go and shoot for the time being."

"Typical of you. Well, let's go."

"Erm, first......"

ポロッ *drops*

"Fire in the hole!"

ドオオオン *boooom*

"......Huh?"

シーン... *silence*

"Oh?"

"I see, you rolled a hand grenade under our foot."

"......Ako, that's amazing. You suddenly got a triple kill."

"They were all allies though."

"For- Forgive me!"

P8

”I was thinking, isn't Ako suited to be a sniper?"

"A sniper?"

"Am I able to use a rifle...?"

"I have a good method."

"Listen well, Ako. Think of every enemies as normalfags."

ボソ ボソ *whisper whisper*

ぐ~る ぐ~る *dizzy dizzy*

"Normalfags...... The enemies are normalfags......"

フフフフフ *hehehehehe*

えへへへへ *ehehehehe*

"Hey, I'm going.　In brief,　if I go and kill two persons, the score will be balanced!"

シャカッ *clack*

"Ye- Yeah."

P9

ズドオオン *booom*

バババババ *shooting*

ドドドドド *boom boom boom boom boom*

"Gyaaaah! A hand grenade fell I fled to from a hand grenade!"

"Shuu...... A precious fellow has fallen."

"Ah, crap!"

ギラリッ *glitter*

ビシッ *whoosh*

"I dit it, Rusian. I taught a lesson to that damn normalfag."

ゴゴゴゴゴ *threatening atmosphere*

"It was your doing, Ako? Thank you."

P10

"It's a piece of cake. I won't let them touch Rusian."

"Ye- Yeah."

"Hehehe, I’ll pop their cute heads."

"You're a little frightening."

"Aaah geez! A hand grenade again!"

"By the way, What are you doing, Guildmaster?"

"I'm installing claymores where the enemies are certain to pass and ambush them."

"Tawdry!"

"Headshot! I did it, Rusian!"

バババババ *shooting*

ターン!! *lands*

ドーン *boooom*

[The next day]

P11

"Ooh, Ako. 'morning!"

"Hiii!?"

ぽん *pat*

びくッ *startled*

"Aah, Rusian, I thought it was an enemy."

"Where do you find enemies in this world."

"Well, I can't help but think that an enemy soldier will appear in the next corner."

ズズズズズズ *deadly*

"I don't really want to understand it."

"It's frightening, so how about going while holding hands?"

Kyaaaa❤(Ako)

"Absolutely not."

"Uuh, Rusian, you meanie."

スッ *pull*

"Well, I'll hold your bag, look!"

"Ah, That feeling, it's normalfag-like!"

Ehehe(Ako)

"You're right, you're right."

P12

"But as I thought, going to school while holding hands...... I'm envious......"

"Don't be affected by that sort of thing."

"As I thought, I may be suited for FPS."

"What the matter all of a sudden?"

"If I had a rifle on hands, I would certainly shoot out their heads!"

ズオオオオオ *deadly*

Hehehehehe(Ako)

"Stop!"

"Hehehehehe, beautiful." //a nod to Captain MacMillan from CoD4

ず~ん *thump*

Haaaah(Rusian)

[At noon]

"I thought it has become a lot better."

Ugh(Rusian)

ピンポンパンポーン *ding dong dang dong*

P13

"This is the Council President Goshouin. Nishimura-kun from Year 1 Class 2, please

immediately come to the Student Council Room.

I repeat, Rusi... Ni- Nishimura-kun from Year 1 Class 2, come to the Student Council Room now. That's all."

"The one called just now was Nishimura, right?"

ザワ ザワ ザワ *chatter chatter chatter*

"For the Council President to call him personally, what has he done?"

"Or rather, the Council President must be like 'that'. She's an outstanding girl of our school, and her grades are also on the top."

ザワ ザワ *chatter chatter*

"But according to other students, she's like a queen who take her distance."

"Are you the one asked to come now by that person?"

ざわざわ *chatter chatter

"It seems that's the case."

"Farewell, Nishimura. Good luck......"

な~む~ Please God

"Leave Ako-chan to me!"

"Takasaki..."

P14

"Ako said it was physiologically really impossible with you."

"Gehhuoooh, Aah!"

"Takasakiiii!"

"Takasaki! Takasakiiii!"

ばちっ *crackle*

"Say, Have you heard something?"

"Nothing at all, that's rare, at that hour."

"Right...... What does she want?"

"I don't know what the Guildmaster is plotting."

"That's right."

"Well, I have to go."

"Yeah, yeah, do your best."

P15

"Akane, you really go along well, with Nishimura-kun."

"Huuh?"

"Well, right now, weren't you communicating about something while you were staring at each other?"

"Like understanding each other from eyes to eyes?"

"Akiyama-san, please don't talk any further."

"Because I'm the one who get the sarcasm and get the short end of the stick."

"So Nishimura-kun is covering for Akane like this...

As I thought, you're taking care of her well, Nishimura-kun."

Yeah Yeah(Akiyama)

"Why should I be covered like that?"

"Stop that."

"By the hateful look on your face, I went too far?"

Leave quickly(Schwein)

P16

[Student Council Room]

"Erm, it's Nishimura."

コンコン *knock knock*

"You came. Enter."

"Then, excuse......me......"

ガチャッ *door opening*

"Welcome back, Rusian."

バタンッ *shut*

"Ruuusiiiaaan?"

ギィィィィィ *glare*

"Heek!?"

ビクッ *surprised*

P17

"Whyyyy did you shut the door?"

んがー hmph

"My bad, it was a sort of reflex."

"That conditioned reflex is strange!"

"If it were me, even if it was the boys' locker room, I would have jumped in!"

Ruuusiaaan(Ako)

びょーん *jump*

Heek(Rusian)

"For the sake of your school life from now on, Cure that illness at once."

"Well, why are you standing around talking, enter."

"For both of you to be here, it's something related to Ako again?"

"It's unrelated to Ako-kun."

"So, in that case, what are the both of you doing?"

"It's obvious!"

P18

"I'm　doing 'the Student Council President who give advice to underclassmen who hold uneasiness in their school life'."

*bam*

"I am doing 'the first-year who consult the Student Council President about her uneasiness in her school life'."

"I'm astonished. it's the first time I see such unreliable Guildmaster."

"Because no matter what advice about school life you ask me, I don't know anything."

Ha ha ha(Apricot)

Eh eh eh(Ako)

"What the heck is that?......"

"So? In the end, what do you want, President?"

"I said you don't need to be formal."

"I wanted to ask Rusian to do little chores."

"If you ask your acquaintances in the Student Council..."

P19

"After thinking about it well, can you still ask me

if I have such acquaintances with whom I can carefreely talk?"

ず~ん *thump*

"......Sorry."

"You're good? Then, let's go."

"Where are you going? I also want to come with you..."

"Our destination is the staff room."

"Have a nice trip!"

P20

[Staff room]

"Sorry to make you expressly come."

"No, there is no problem at all.

Leave it to us, the Modern Communication and Electronic Gaming Club."

Hahaha(Apricot)

"Erm...... What should I do?"

"This. I want you to look at that computer."

"Kashiwagi-sensei's."

"Kashiwagi-sensei, who read a 'Your computer's securiy is in danger! The end of the OS support is imminent!' kind of news,

forcibly tried to upgrade the OS."

"He had a bad presentiment on the way, after he interrupted the upgrade, he said it became weird."

Freeze!(Kashiwagi-sensei)

"Of course it would become weird."

P21

"Since he interrupted it before the upgrade could tamper with the key part, I want to try returninng most of the part to normal.

But a part of the behaviour became instable..."

"Do we have to fix that?"

"Yes."

"And, when I confirmed it, a restore point was automatically made about 3 days ago.

That's the Excel installation CD. There's also the OS disk in the worst case, but that's really for the worst case, okay?"

"Because the break time will end while you're using the back-up."

ペラペラペラペラペラペラ *fluent*

".........Yes."

[The client is presenting me the restoration method, does it need to be me?]

"Erm, Neko... Saitou-sensei, you could fix it on your own?"

"Impossible, I'm not well-detailled about computers."

ニッコリ *smile*

P22

"Why are you acting like Segawa again......

It doesn't look like there's a significant problem."

カシャ カシャ *tap tap*

"You're a lifesaver."

"How is it, Nishimura? Is this repairable?"

"Hmm, I don't know yet."

カタカタ *click click*

"Is that so?"

"For the time being, I'll try to launch it, it would be nice if it could start like this...... Oh!"

"It started? Haaa! It was easily fixed.

Sensei couldn't start it even though you had tempered with it for half a day."

"It's because it's something I don't know."

"However, isn't the Modern Communication-something club surprisingly serious?"

P23

"It's just that people who hold skills and ambitions need a place to make the best use of them."

"We will always be useful."

"Hahaha, I'll leave that kind of things to you guys."

"Yes, we'll look forward to it."

"Thanks, both of you. I couldn't do anything."

"Yeah......"

"Then, we're leaving."

ペコッ *bow*

"We're leaving."

"So, what sort of work were you talking about just now, Guildmaster?

It hasn't to be us, has it?"

"Yes, of course."

P24

"Do you know that there's no computer club in this school?"

"I thought there weren't since there were no such club at the club activities presentation."

"Because there's no teacher well-detailled in electronic engineering in our school now."

"Nobody?"

"Yeah."

"Therefore, it's our turn to shine!"

"It would be quite pleasant for teachers

to make students do something for free what would normally cost money."

"The pleasure to use a microtransaction item is wonderful,

but the pleasure would be greater if you achieve something simillar with a free item."

"That example is a little..."

P25

"In any case, we can get our club to last longer by showing our worth of use and existence."

"That's also an important work."

"But wasn't it fine this time if Nekohime-sensei did it?"

"There's also a problem with that."

"That Mister Kashiwagi　holds old-fashioned way of thinking.

Even if he's completely ignorant about electronic devices, a man wouldn't be pleased to lose to a woman in handling a machine."

カタカタ *click click*
ターンッ!! *thunk*

Too easy!! (Nekohime-sensei)

"It would affect his pride if a young woman like Miss Satou could quickly repair it."

"For dealing with that type of person, the best way is to prepare an escape method."

"That's..."

"The Modern Communication and Electronic Gaming Club that gather otaku-ish students."

P26

"It also benefits Miss Saitou that we take responsability for this.

That's give-and-take."

"You thought about various things, huh."

"The kind of things one is taught in the art of kingcraft?"

"It's more correct to call it the technique to grasp the human heart."

"To predict the psychology of the person you're talking to, and to lead things to the best result for you."

"That's not something pleasant but it sometimes useful."

"For example, this..."

ぴとっ *gentle touch*

びくっ *flinch*

"Huuh!?"

P27

"You- You surprised me! What is it, all of a sudden?"

"Even if Ako-kun do soething similar, you don't make that kind of reaction, do you?"

"That's because that fellow is my wife."In the game

"The result with that thing now is that I measured the distance between you and me, and I made Rusian aware of his sincerity toward Ako-kun."

"Hereupon, Rusian's attitude toward Ako will soften, and she'll let off steam."

"Then, I'll lonely think　'it wasn't bad until now'."

Booh(Apricot)

"My bad for shaking off from you."

"Rusian is also thinking that I'm an ill-natured woman?

Honestly speaking, I understand that I can't make friend with that character of mine."

"No, not at all."

"I'm leaving the complex things to Guildmaster."

"......Is that so?"

ぽかーん *impact*

P28

"Or rather, nobody in the guild think about things like the Guildmaster,

After all, Nekohime-san just wanted to force the odd jobs on us from now on."

"Well, I wonder about that."

"Well, let's leave the think about Miss Saitou aside. I want Rusian to collaborate as much as possible

to our club's profit for your and ako-kun's sake, and my own sake."

"I'm fine if it's something I can do."

"You can. It's fine if you become Ako-kun's ally to an extent."

"I was her ally from the start."

ポリポリ *scratch scratch*

"......"

"......You're right, that's was the case."

クスッ *giggle*

P29

"Well, let's return quickly, so I can fawn over my wife."

クスクス *giggle giggle*

"I'm envious!"

[Student council room]

"I'm back, Ako. What's wrong? Why do you look at outside?"

イチャ
イチャ
イチャ
*flirt*
*flirt*
*flirt*

"Well...... This"

"I was thinking that I can easily shoot their head from here......"

ズオオオオオオ *deadly*

"...Let's stop playing FPS."

ずーん *disappointed*
