Netoge Chapter 7

P1

Ako and Rusian disagree...

P2

" Rusian, what's the difference between games and reality? "

" ......... "

" That's why I'll go, do you get it, Rusian? "

" ......Yeah, do as you please. "

" Wait, Rusian!? "

" Are you serious, Rusian? "

" It's like you said. "

" I'm not Ako's husband, so we are unrelated when we meet in real life... "

P3

" My bad for being intrusive in other people's matter! "

" Go and have fun as much as possible! I don't care if something happen! "

" Rusian, from your usual point of view, Ako's speech is right. You're merely venting your anger. "

" I know that much! "

" Even though I know, I don't accept it, so I'm worried. Understand it! "

" So- Sorry about that. "

" Don't be sorry, why is guildmaster apologising? "

" Or rather, Ako is the strange one. "

" The usual Ako would absolutely never say such things. "

" Wait, try listening to me a little...... Ah, hey! "

P4

" There's no need, it's fine like that. "

" Ako is also properly differentiating games and reality. "

" She accepted that I'm nothing of a husband in real life. "

" This club role is also over, and I'm no Net Stalker. "

" I don't care if Ako get into trouble after that! "

" Wha- Wait, you--- "

[ The next day ]

" ...... "

[ It's... already evening... ]

P5

[ Is Ako meeting with a man right now...]

" Aah, shit! "

" You came, Rusian? "

" Wai- What are you doin'!? "

" That's a cheerful remark, what's wrong? "

" Good Lord! Right now, this girl is--- "

" Well, calm down, Shuu. "

" Yesterday, Shuu got information out of her with hardships,

Ako's offline meeting time seems to be this evening at 6. "

" That evening! He's really a net scumbag! "

P6

" Yeah, moreover, it looks like she went towards Maegasaki Station.

It seems to be one of Ako's conditions. "

" He want to gothat far to meet?

Whatever you think, that's dangerous... "

" Why won't you go? "

" ......Huh? "

" Your house isn't that far from the station, you can still get there in time! "

" Go...... you say? Even if you say that...... "

" I don't have the right to... "

" Right? What's that!? "

P7

" Is there a 'right' when your friend seems to be in danger!? "

" Ako said she wanted to meet them alone, I won't disturb them.

I don't have that right...... She's said it. "

" What's that! That's uncool!

I didn't think you were a man that shitty! "

" So noisy...... "

" With such a miserable guy, even Ako will be disgusted! "

" She should be happier throwing an husband like you and going to another man! "

" ! "

P8

" Why are you saying that to me! "

" That girl is your wife, isn't it!?

Since you're doing nothing! "

" What's with the wife thing! It's only inside the game! "

" It doesn't matter!

You can do anything if you're willing to! "

" You don't get it at all! It's precisely because I can't do anything

That I'm that anxious and that I can't get Ako out of my mind! "

" ......Good ol' you. "

P9

" Say, you love Ako, don't you? "

" So that's fine, hurry up and go! "

" You know... It's not like that. "

" Of course it is!

You, look a little at the chat just before! "

" I'm not in the mood right now. Read the atmosphere...... "

" Huuuuh!? "

" Rusian...... No, Nishimura-kun. "

P10

" I think you know it but I'm on Ako's side. "

" I don't want to differentiate games and reality that much. "

" From my point of view, Ako is also confusing games and reality too much, "

" But I think you're also differentiating reality and games too much. "

" Then, you're saying that... I'm this fellow's husband. And that I have to interupt Ako and that guy?

It would be good if I could do that. "

" No, we've already concluded about it. " //what Shuu is saying is ignored by the two others.

" We haven't talked about that, huh? "

" Just as you think, Rusian and Nishimura Hideki are different.

Ako and Tamaki Ako are also different. "

" Ako and you aren't in a love relationship in reality...... But, "

P11

" Aren't you ignoring too much

'Rusian' who love Ako inside the game? "

" Ignoring...... You say? What do you mean? "

" Rusian is inside you.

Ako is inside Tamaki Ako. "

" This is an unshakable clear fact. "

" In other words, "

" There is a feeling of love for Ako inside you. Isn't that the case? "

" ...... I somehow can't accept it. "

" That's not just that, my feeling aren't just that. "

P12

" When I'm meeting with her, speaking to her and touch each other, it's not 'Ako' that I've come to like. "

" The one that I'm worrying about right now isn't the 'Ako' inside the game. "

" But the real her who was smiling delightfully by my side. "

" I'm worried about her.

I don't want her to be hurt. "

" ......I see. "

" No, you've said you like her just now! You don't see me in the chat? Hello!? " //she also said in the novel

version something like: Is there a lag? Have you blacklisted me?

" Do you get it, Rusian? "

" That's good, you got your answer now. "

" The answer for what Ako has said. "

" Yeah. "

P13

[ What's the difference between games and reality... The answer was very simple... ]

[ The voice call out each other, the smiling face we made at each other, the sensation of our fingertip touching

each other, her scent...

I've come to know a lot of part of her that I couldn't know in th game. ]

[ Unlike 'Rusian' who doesn't know the real side of Tamaki Ako,

I have much more feeling for her. ]

" That's why it's different. Games and reality are different. I'm not mistaken. "

" That's fine if you think that. "

" But in the end, it doesn't change that I don't have the right to stop her. "

" Hey, do you hear me? Isn't it alright? "

" It's alright if you go because you're saving your wife.

It's what you want, isn't it? "

" Like I said, she's my wife inside the game only...... "

" ......I see, she's 'my wife'. "

" Huh? "

P14

" Haha Hahahahaha! That pisses me off! That's obvious! "

" Ru- Rusian? "

" As expected of Shuu, you understand! "

" I was feeling depressed, but I'm completely feeling refreshed! "

" Yosh! Wait for me, you scumbag who turn your hand to my Ako!

I'll beat to death the one who make light of people's wife! "

" Calm down, calm down! You're going? Don't cause troubles, okay? "

" Hahaha! Do your best, Rusian! "

" Yeah! "

[ That's right, that's right!

She's my wife. ]

[ It's different in reality,

But she certainly is my wife inside the game. ]

[ The girl that I love. ]

P15

[ That Ako is meeting IRL someone from the game?

As her husband inside the game, I won't ignore it! ]

[ As for reasons, there are plenty! It's perfect! ]

[ Wait for me, dummy! ]

[ I won't approve her meeting offline another guy when she's my wife! ]

" Ako is... "

" H... Here! "

" She has really come. "

" I have to stop her first... Huuh! "

P16

[ It's the guy from the offline meeting! ]

[ I can't see it from their back, but it's an university student, no, probably a working adult! ]

[ With the social standing of a working adult, he's fishing high school girls an online game! ]

[ This is the worst. As a man, as a online gamer,

As Ako's husband, I absolutely can't allow it. ]

" AAKOOOOOOO! "

Hideki, dash!!
