The commute from school takes about forty minutes by train station and on foot.
It was quite a long way for Amamiya, whose house is close by, and he was exhausted by the time he arrived in front of Karina’s house.
He was not used to riding the train so much that he was embarrassed to be escorted by her.
Karina didn’t seem to mind, but Amamiya’s life value was less than half.
“Hehe, we arrived. This is my home.”
Karina pointed to the house as she skipped happily along.
I wondered where she had been so nervous when she invited me
“Is this …… Karina’s house ……?”
Amamiya’s eyes widen in astonishment in front of her house.
It was an ordinary house in a residential area, or so he thought, but it was a mansion beyond his imagination.
In the garage, which is not often seen, there are two luxury-looking cars parked, and it has a large garden with a view of a pond.
Amamiya, who is even now being crushed by the pressure of visiting the home of a girl who is not his childhood friend, is so overwhelmed by the sight of this mansion that his body relaxes and he drops the bag he was holding in his hand.
“What’s wrong, Takaaki kun?”
“No,…… I thought it was a very big house. Is it possible that Karina is a rich young lady?”
“Haha I don’t know what you are talking about, this is normal.”
What are you talking about?
Is this size normal in her home country?
“Come in, come in, please. I will entertain you~.”
Karina pushes Amamiya’s stiff and motionless body from behind, forcing him to the front door.
She then took the key out of her skirt pocket and opened the door.
The exterior of the house was outrageous, but the inside of the house, everything was twice as large as Amamiya’s house, and there were several rooms.
“The rooms are on the second floor, so follow me.”
With that, Karina went ahead of him, and Amamiya hurriedly followed behind her.
On the way, they stopped in front of what looked like a living room, and Karina, trying to hide Amemiya, called out
“Mama, my friend is coming to play, so please don’t disturb me.”
After declaring just one word, she pulled Amamiya’s hand and hurriedly ran up the stairs.
She was in such a hurry as if she didn’t want to show the friend, and even though she was stopped by a woman who appeared to be her mother, who came out of the living room, Karina didn’t mind.
Finally, they arrive at Karina’s room.
Amamiya’s nervousness reaches its peak, and he backs away as if hesitating to enter, and asks in a small voice
“Y-you know what? I think I should greet your family first, mother. I’m intruding on your family, and I might not feel comfortable entering their daughter’s room without your permission….right?”
“It’s fine, I’ve never had friends over before, so they’ll just make a fuss. …… I’d like to be alone with you.”
“Eh What did you say?”
“don’t ask every single question! You know, you should do what your partner says!”
Amamiya loses power and is dragged into the room.
I think there should be more of a mood, you know, like this.
(Wow, …… it’s big and it smells good after all)
Karina’s room was decorated with an overall white and light blue image.
It’s a girly room, he thought, and at the same time, his eyes stopped at a certain shelf.
It looked like a bookshelf, but instead it was a shelf filled with video game software.
There must be more than several hundred, and some of them were 10 years old and had underground titles.
She is an otaku after all, even more so than Amamiya.
The gaming PCs and other equipment, even the gaming chairs, looked more expensive than the ones in Amamiya’s room.
“Fufu, this might be embarrassing. ……”
This is probably one of the reasons why she doesn’t invite her friends who don’t seem to know much about games to her house.
The reason is that it might destroy the image of Karina in the school.
“It’s not just here you know? I’ve got some software in the closet that I don’t play much anymore, and if you want, you can take the ones you want home with you.”
“Oh, yeah. Thanks….. (You still have it?!)”
He was surprised, but at the same time, even impressed.
When he first got to know her, he had a prejudice that she was a race of people who had nothing to do with this world.
But after becoming friends in real life and being invited to her room, he finally understood that she loves games from the bottom of her heart, and Amamiya smiled a small smile.
“Wow, how much did you have to go through to get to this point …… and when did Karina start playing games?”
Amamiya asks Karina, wanting to create a topic of conversation.
To this point, she might have been addicted to the game since elementary school.
Amamiya thought so, but Karina’s reaction was surprising.
“Well, a friend? I was recommended to play by a friend, and when I started playing with it, I couldn’t stop…..I guess that’s what it felt like?””
What is it with the criminal who is trying so hard to come up with an alibi for that lame lie?
“Oh, really? I was like that, too.”
If it was a topic that was difficult to answer, let’s take the stance of not forcing to ask.
Amamiya naturally gave a few words and then tried to move on to the next topic.
“But if it weren’t for this, I would have never met my partner, Rein san, nor become friends with Takaaki kun, and we would have graduated without knowing anything about each other.”
Oh, I certainly wouldn’t like that.
It was really fortunate that we got to know each other because of the game.
“There have been many happy times and many bad times. But, you know, I have no regrets.”
For some reason, her cheeks were flushed.
Her eyes were moistened as if she was about to cry, and though it might be a disgusting expression, it looked sexy in Amamiya’s eyes.
The air had changed, and Karina’s appearance was so strange
“So, I want to be friends with Takaaki kun a lot more in the future. I’ll always and forever …… think so.”
“K-Karina ……?”
Amamiya reflexively retreats as the face of a beautiful silver-haired girl approaches.
However, he runs into a wall right behind her and loses his escape.
Seeing this as the perfect opportunity, Karina grabbed both of Amamiya’s arms, not wanting to let him escape.
“Takaaki-kun is my friend, my irreplaceable partner……Takaaki-kun is my ……”
The grip on her arms grew stronger, and Karina’s national treasure-class beauty came closer and closer.
Then, Amamiya realizes something.
Could it be that she’s trying to get me to–?
