Netoge Chapter 15

P1

>I'm levelling up by myslef little by little! Because...?

P2

[Modern Communication and Electronic Gaming Club]

"Tamaki-san went to school this morning,

But it seems she went home before the start of the class."

"I knew it..."

"Incidentally, she already told us she won't come tomorrow."

"I haven't unexpect that!"

"I can't believe she was that angry......"

"More that being angry, shouldn't you think she was shocked?

"Her feelings are stronger than you think, I want you to understand that."

"Y- Yes."

P3

"I think you probably won't undestand, but listen to me!"

"Okay......"

"For people like us, it's very painful for us when outsiders,

And in addition to that, guys with clearly better specs than us, turn up at our place!"

"We're guys who want to click our tongue when a cool guys is in a otaku shop, but don't have the courage for that,

And wait for him to leave while glancing at him from a distance."

"When we see someone like Akiyama-san half-jokingly barge and laugh,

Our feelings are very seriously hurt!"

"I wasn't aiming for that-"

P4

"At the beginning, I was only thinking that Akane was looking strange."

"Even though she's always saying only harsh things to Nishimura-kun, they actually looked close,"

"She became close to Tamaki-san who wasn't coming to school at all until just a while ago,"

"But Akane haven't told me anything,"

"Since it coulnd't be helped, I thought that if I came to see-

Since it looked funny, I unconsciously wanted to tease."

"Is- Is that so."

"......Well, it wouldn't have become a big deal if it weren't for Ako.”

"Well, from what I heard, Tamaki-san has over-reacted."

"......"

P5

"Anyway, the reason behind this is a misunderstanding.

It should be resolved if we properly talk to Ako."

"Even though she doesn't answer when We called her, how will you talk to her?"

"Will you directly go to her house?"

"It would be good, but the place where she fled is"

"here."

"Here she is!"

"She's levelling up by herself..."

P6

"Ako."

"You came at the right moment. Since I'm currently levelling up, how about doing it together?"

"Listen to me, it was a misunderstanding earlier, or rather,"

"A lie. It was a type of random prank."

"Akiyama-san's goal was to tease Shuu, and you and I were incidentally involved."

"It's obvious but she doesn't have any interest in me!"

"Yeah, not at all. I really don't have the slightest interest in Nishimura-kun."

"She's lying."

"There's no way it's a lie. What would she get by telling a lie-"

"She's lying!!"

"Uoh!"

P7

"To begin with, there was no way someone like me couldn't win against a normalfag highschool girl."

"The real Lucian was a high peak flower for me. It couldn't be helped."

"I have already cut down everything. If Lucian isn't in my life anymore, I'll throw it."

"Huh?"

"No way, Ako has lost all her hope for the world because she has been dumped by Nishimura......"

"No, No. It can't be true. And I haven't dumped her at all."

"Damn! Hurry! Send a car at Ako's house! "

"Wait, I'll call her house."

"I"

P8

"I'll level up until the leve cap and I'll reincarnate,"

"I'll bet everything on the next life!"

"For just 5 seconds, I really became pale......"

"Me too......"

"......You can cancel the car."

"Eeeeeeerm... What the heck are you babbling......"

"What? Isn't that obvious?"

P9

"I'll level up, buy a new character's card, design a cute, bright and popular me, and be reborn."

"I'm aiming for an ideal next life. Until then, I'll enjoy L.A to my heart's content!"

"Lucian too, let's absolutely die together!"

"Here comes the forced double suicide invitation."

"I don't wanna die."

"Rather, do you really mean to throw your life and cut down reality?......"

"Because, please try to think about it, the ideal you on your next life."

"......My ideal next life, huh?"

Hmm

P10

"It's a little ideal indeed."

"Isn't it!?"

"Why are you getting brainwashed!"

"Noooooo, stop, stop!"

"Won't you cut down your real life,

and after that, playing that game all out?"

"Y- Yeah."

"Lucian is a highschool student right now, isn't it?"

"Yeah."

P11

"Won't you stop being a highschool student to strenghten your character, aiming for the next life?"

"I'll teach Lucian my ID and password because I want to raise my character in shift with you."

"No, I already know your ID......... Erm, huh?"

"Don't 'huh?' me, get a hold of yourself!"

"Y- Yeah."

"By the way."

P12

"I'll quit school."

"Dropping out of school is bad!"

"Calm down, Ako. Don't worry too much."

"I am calm. I came to that conclusion after calming down and thinking."

"It's futhermore bad!"

"Therefore, from now on, I'll live in L.A."

"If it's inside L.A, Lucian is my husband."

"You......"

"Then, I'll do my best to aim for reincarnation."

"Hey, wait, I said wait!"

P13

[The message couldn't be sent to Ako.]

"Ako! Hey! Heeey!"

"Our messages aren't transmitted."

"That's bad. Ako is broken."

"That's...... a problem."

"Erm, is this perhaps my fault?"

"In that case, we can't all intrude in her house, can we?"

"Won't she became all the more obstinate?"

"You're right......"

"For the time being, let's take a moment.

May she calm down and secretly come to school if Tamaki-san also take her time?"

"If that's the cae, I would be at ease..."

Haah~

P14

[The next day]

[Modern Communication and Electronic Gaming Club]

"It's an abnormal situation!"

"I can't believe this girl is levelling up by her own effort."

"You're right. With only that, we can see through the danger of the present condition."

"Honestly, I also have the same opinion."

"We can only persuade Ako-kun, but it seems our messages are rejected."

"Then, we create a new character and talk to her?"

"......"

"......I want to wait until Ako calms down a little more."

"This time, you're unusually taking her side."

"Well, true."

P15

"Because Ako's assumption is strong."

"I should have thought that there were that kind of danger."

"I feel a little responsible, and I also feel empathy,

That's why..."

"I'm sorry, but that's a problem."

"Sensei?"

"Tamaki-san was going to school

as the result of this club."

"But that was really just my imagination."

"If I think it becomes a bad influence instead,"

"In the worst case scenario, there's a possibility that this club will dissappear."

"That's a problem......"

P16

"Aaaah, Sensei, are you talking about Ako dropping out of school?"

"Looks like there was a phone call from a girl calling herself Ako implying that she'll drop out."

"Huuuh!?"

"I'm the one who responded,

I was a little tired so I don't really remember the contents of the call."

"Was it probably lagging?"

"In other words, you have concealed it..."

"Will it be alright?"

"It won't be alright! It will be a big problem if it get exposed!"

"That's right."

P17

"But you know, I can leave that matter alone."

"Even though she even pointed a fake cutter at me,

this time, she's just shut herself in."

"I think she's improving in her own way."

"That's right. Recently, she's done her best on her own way."

"Hasn't it?"

"That's why I think a boy that properly understands that

will surely do somthing about that!"

"......"

"Can't you do something-nya, Lucian?

Haven't you said that you haven't got married on a whim nor just for show-nya?"

Nya♡

"Even if you put that kind of utmost trust on a student."

"There's no meaning if a teacher can't trust a student-nya."

"Ugh...... You're saying something a bit cool."

P18

"That's not true. I'm sorry for Lucian who fell in love with me-nya."

"Stop that, I got it."

"If you say that, I'll absolutely make you help, Nekohime-san."

"It's the first time we come back home together like that."

"True."

P19

"The net game thing was completely exposed to Nanako,

But she's not the type to gossip......"

"So I thought that if it's like that, there's no meaning not to do it anymore."

"I see."

"And I am usually worried about Ako."

"Thank you, maybe?"

"About Ako,

I was wondering if we don't have to seriously worry that much."

"......Why?"

"I think Ako

doesn't necessarily truly believe that Nanako haven't taken you."

"Hmm?"

P20

"I think she has just overreacted,

and then after showing that she's sulking, the atmosphere became more serious than she thought,"

"The person themselves couldn't make up their mind, and is running wild in a weird way."

"Honestly, I also think that."

"Don't you?"

"That's why if you talk to her openly, she'll come back."

"......Well, in any case, talk to Ako."

"I leave it to you!"

"......"

P21

"Say, Segawa."

"Hnn?"

"Weren't you saying that it would become terrible if it was exposed that you're playing net games?"

"It's already exposed, don't make me remember."

"But with that reason,

You were nevertheless playing net games, why?"

"......Huh? You're asking that?"

"Was it no good to ask that?"

"Hnn, rather than no good...... Hnn-"

P22

"Listen, absolutely never tell it to anyone, okay?

Neither to Nanako, nor the Guildmaster, nor Ako."

"If you say not to tell it, of course I won't tell."

"Don't misunderstand, but I wanted you to ask."

"Yeah."

"When I was handed over a PC and I was just beginning to go to the net,

I was your common middle schooler that was looking for video of dogs and cats."

[Is that really common?]

"In that time, I saw an advert, about this game."

"Moreover- ...... Really, don't misunderstand, okay?"

"What's that for? I won't."

P23

"Erm...... I saw the picture

Of two guys smiling while joining shoulders with a defeated dragon on the background,"

"That made my maiden's heart shivers a lot."

"......Huh?"

"You were of the rotten girl kind!?"

"No! That's why I said not to misunderstand!"

"I don't have flowers in my head!"

*cough*

"With the relationship between the super magnifcient-ish man and the tank that stop any blow no matter what it is,"

"I felt very good men camaraderie,"

"And it made me shiver."

P24

"......Camaraderie, huh."

"That's the truth!"

"Erm......

Doesn't it sound like there's no true camaraderie between girls?"

"Like when someone leaves their seat, the other girls badmouth that girl."

"You girls, you're doing that?"

"We don't!"

"At least I don't, and other girls barely do that."

"You're doing a face saying that happens sometimes."

"You can tell?"

"Because I know you for a long time......"

"Or rather, because of this."

P25

"This? Our tacit understanding?"

"I think that camaraderie between girls is a great thing!"

"To the point of wanting to knock down men who make fun of it."

"But,"

"It's not like I trust her completely,

Like when I couldn't tell my best friend Nanako that I'm playing net games."

"......Yeah."

"What if she draws back,"

"Or look down on me if I tell her that. What if she thinks I'm creepy if she knows I have that sort of hobby."

P26

"Unlike the kind of camaraderie where you walk along someone of a similar rank,

I was jealous of that the camaraderie between men,"

"Where you throw all your thoughts at your camarade,

and that camarade also throw back all his thoughts at you."

"So you create Schwein?"

"Yeah."

"But when I played the game itself, it was fun."

"It's true that that was my only reason at first,"

"But, that's why quarreling with you was fun."

P27

"Whatever absurd the thing I say, you always talk back,

When I say something cocky, you always laugh and make fun of me,"

"I am sarcastic, you also speak ill of me......"

"You saying all you had to say but still laughing and being able to say 'see you tomorrow',

That made me glad."

"I also didn't hate saying stupid things with you."

"If that so, I'm glad."

"I'll say why Ako likes you."

"Ako?"

P28

"You know, that girl know very well she's stupid."

"She's always spacing out, misunderstands and is slow to learn things,"

"And she immediately forget what she learned,"

"At first, even the people who were hanging with her have gradually left,"

"But you,"

"While saying this or that, you have never throwed her out,"

"You, who were only troubled by her, have told her to do her best next time,

to properly do it next time. You have always granted her a next time."

P29

"Because of that, even though it's the you in a screen,"

"She was happy that the real no good her has been completely accepted,

She said she was happy to the point that her head would melt."

"I became embarassed listening to you."

"It's alright since I who was saying that is also embarrased."

"I'm also like that."

"Huh?"

P30

"When I met you for the first time offline, I was super afraid."

"What I was doing being exposed to you in front of everyone,

Being looked coldy by everyone...... I thought it was the end."

"I would never do that!"

"And after that, I said bad things to you for outward appearance,

But you weren't angry at all."

"Because it doesn't change from the time you're Schwein."

"Even though you may be exposed,"

"You have covered me about Ako."

P32

"That's natural! There's no way I could abandon you."

"......Yeah, it was natural.

That's... Aah... That feeling."

"What feeling?"

"The feeling that I've found the thing I wanted,

To always be with you."

"I was thinking that it would be great to always be with you."

P32

"Then..... It looks like I'll be with you for a long time."

"As a inseparable relationship."

"Your head is rotten."

"It's your character!"

"So, since that shut-in girl and that micro-transaction idiot are also included in that inseparable relationship,"

"Properly call Ako back!"

"Yeah, leave it to me."

P33

"Okay, then, please do it in my stead, idiot."

"You're the idiot."

[Segawa may also trust me to some extent,]

[But I also understand Ako's feeling very well.]

[I don't have confidence in following that fellow's expectation, but well, I'll do my best.]

"So, it's here."

[Tamaki]

"Alright, you never know what might happen."

*ding dong*

*ba-dump* *ba-dump*

"You, who are you!"

P34

"Who- Who is it! Ako's big sister!?"

"Erm, My name is Nishimura. Today, erm......"

"Aah, you're that Nishimura?"

"My daughter is always talking about you."

[Douter... Daughter!? So that person is]

*This development is unexpected!?

"Don't stand talking, come, come."

[Ako's mother!?]

To be continued in February's issue.
