“Run, sled, like the wind!”
A camper was driving along a road lined with lush green trees.
“Through the snow, light and fast”
The girl looks out the window, singing like a child to the soothing rhythm of the engine.
“If you sprinkle your laughter on the snow, it will turn into a bright flower of light.”
Next to her sits a large man who is quietly looking up information about his destination on his smartphone.
“HEY!!!!!.”
A girl’s voice echoes through the car.
“Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell! The bell is ringing! It’s echoing in the forest! Christmas! Christmas! HEY☆”
Kenmochi, the big man sitting next, looks up and says.
“….It’s summer”
Amane, the girl who was singing, winks at him.
“It’s summer and it’s hot. I thought singing Christmas songs might help cool things down a bit.”
“Oh, well, let’s turn on the air conditioning, shall we?”
Amamiya, who was sitting in the back seat, turned on the air conditioning with the remote control.
“Amami-kyun and the other can’t take jokes anymore~. Right, Karina-chan?”
“Was that a joke? I’m cooled off thanks to Amane senpai’s singing.”
Karina, sitting next to Amamiya, smiled like an angel, and Amane jumped on her, crying.
“I love you, Karina-chan!”
“Oh, hey, Chief!”
Karina blushed as Amane jumped up and hugged her.
Amane’s small body makes them look like an older sister and a younger sister.
Speaking of younger sisters, there was another one in the car, Anna, Amamiya’s younger sister, sitting in the passenger seat drinking juice.
The game research club had been planning to hold a three-day, two-night training camp during the summer vacation, but since Anna would be left alone at home during that time, Amemiya asked Amane and Kenmochi for permission so that Anna could also attend the camp.
“Amane-san! Kenmochi-san! Thank you for bringing me along too!”
In the passenger seat, Anna happily thanked them.
“You are my junior’s precious little sister, you know?
There’s no way I can leave you behind! Right? Kenmochi?”
“I’ve heard what’s going on. You’re welcome.”
“Thank you very much for coming all the way …….Ouch!?”
Not only her younger sister Anna, but Amamiya bowed his head in gratitude as well.
Amane struck a sword at his deeply bowed head.
“We in the game research club are not just members, we’re like a family ☆ That’s why ☆ Do you understand!? ☆”
Amane shined so brightly that Amamiya couldn’t help but squint.
However, her word “family” made Amamiya’s eyes twinkle.
“Don’t get me wrong. We’re not going for fun, we’re going to a training camp.”
Amane searches for nearby tourist spots on her phone.
“In other words, our purpose is to train for three days in order to improve our game.”
Amane checks her luggage for a barbecue set, flashlight for a test of courage, insect nets and baskets, swimsuits for playing in the river, and anything else she may have forgotten.
“This is a training camp from hell.”
Amane makes a smug face.
(((You’re ready to have fun. ……)))
Everyone in the car thought the same thing, although they didn’t say it aloud.
Leaving behind Amane who was having too much fun at the training camp, Kenmochi turned his attention to the person driving the camper.
There was a brown-haired, fresh-looking young man at the wheel.
“Thank you for driving for us in spite of your busy schedule, Seto-san, and I look forward to spending the next three days with you.”
The young man called “Seto” smiled in return.
“I’m fine, Kenmochi-kun. I’m like a manager for you and Amane, so if you two can be more active in the pro-gaming industry than you are now, this is a small price to pay.”
Arima Seto.
He is an adult male who is deeply involved in the pro-gaming industry.
He just graduated from college and seems to be Amane’s cousin.
“Oh, please drive safely!”
Amane says while tapping Seto’s shoulder while he is driving.
It sounds like an order, but it is just a joke.
“Nice too meet you, Karina-san and Amamiya-kun,”
Seto was smiling calmly, but Amamiya did not miss a meaningful glance in the rearview mirror for a moment.
It was as if he was interested in Amemiya.
“What’s wrong, Takaaki?”
Next to him, Karina looked into Amamiya’s face.
She was approaching him without any sense of distance as usual, but Amamiya returned it while holding back her embarrassment.
“No, I’m fine. It’s nothing.”
So began the three-day, two-night training camp of the Game Research Club.
However, Amamiya had no way of knowing.
An unexpected encounter at the camp…
