Summer vacation! It's an oasis for students! A time to fully unleash the suppressed desires of daily life, after the stresses of studying, club activities, and getting up early to go to school. For boys and girls who are close enough, it's also possible to take their relationship a step further during this time. What will Ishigami do during this summer vacation, a time of liberation and growth...?
"ah..."
He'd been slacking off! This guy, Yu Ishigami, is, in fact, the epitome of an introvert. For the three months since he went back in time, he'd been diligently studying, dedicated himself to club activities, and extremely busy helping out the disciplinary committee with everything from data processing to odd jobs. Therefore...
"Uh..."
It was inevitable that this would happen as a reaction. That said, studying every day had become a habit for Ishigami, and he always made sure to allocate time for studying. Even now, he had just finished his morning studies and was just slacking off.
(Hmm, what did I do during summer vacation in my third year of junior high...? All I remember is browsing the internet and playing video games.)
Normally, the summer and winter breaks of the third year of junior high school are a time to dedicate oneself to studying for entrance exams. However! In order to increase the number of students advancing from within the school, Shuchiin Academy sets the entrance exam for Shuchiin High School relatively easy. Conversely, as if to spite those who are advancing from other schools, they fill that period with events. Sports festivals, class competitions, cultural festivals, etc... While not as blatant as in high school, similar things were also done in junior high school.
(...Come to think of it, a new game was released recently. I didn't pre-order it, but I might buy it if it's still available.)
After changing into his outdoor clothes, Ishigami began walking towards the game shop, a place he hadn't visited in a while.
...…
As I stepped through the automatic doors, the cold air that enveloped me completely dispelled the heat that had been surrounding me just moments before.
"Phew..."
(Ah, I feel alive again...)
I positioned myself in front of the shelves where the new games were displayed and began searching for the item I wanted.
"Hmm... Ah, there it is."
"...Ishigami?"
"Huh? ...Oh, hey, Ryuju-senpai."
"Hmm, Ishigami, are you going to buy that game?"
"Yes, I have a lot of free time on my hands... Did you come to buy something too, senpai?"
"No, I was just hanging around. More importantly, Ishigami... I play that game too, let's play together."
"Oh, that sounds good... but I'm only starting today, you know?"
"That's fine. There's a coffee shop over there where you can stay as long as you want without anyone complaining, let's go there."
"Okay, I'll go buy it right away."
"Ou."
After paying the bill, I followed behind Ryuju-senpai as she headed towards the coffee shop.
...…
"Miko-chan, it's so hot I'm melting... Let's go somewhere to cool off."
"Okay, then let's go into a coffee shop when we find one."
"Huh? Isn't that Ishigami?"
"What?! No way!? Where?!"
"Miko, you're panicking too much. She went into that coffee shop."
"Hmm, I was planning on going into a coffee shop anyway, so this is perfect, right?"
"You're not being honest..."
"Huh, what?"
"Hmm, anything."
Iino and Daibutsu entered a coffee shop, seemingly to escape the oppressive heat...
...…
Greeted by the ringing of a bell announcing the arrival of guests, Ishigami and Ryuju took their seats facing each other. They ordered drinks from the waiter who came to take their order, and then took out a game console from their pockets.
"Okay, let's start by creating a character."
"Hey, don't keep me waiting too long."
"I'm the type of person who gets really particular about things."
"Hmm, character creation, huh..."
"There he is! Ishigami is with a woman?!"
"Miko, let's go to the seat next to us for now. There's a partition, so she shouldn't be able to see us."
Iino and Daibutsu told the waiter their order and quickly took their seats so as not to be noticed.
"What kind of guy does Ishigami like?"
((What!?))
Ryuju's statement shocked Iino and Daibutsu.
"Well, I guess I do end up choosing based on the type of woman I'm with."
"Hmm, I thought so."
"Of course, Ishigami's a guy!"
"Miko, that's a prejudice. Male x male relationships aren't uncommon at all these days, you know?"
"Let's not talk about that right now!"
"Of course, there's also the fun of dressing them up in all sorts of clothes (equipment)."
"Cosplay!?"
"Guys seem to like that kind of thing... What would you like to cosplay as, Miko-chan?"
"Hmm, if I were to do it, maybe a bunny costume... but I'm not going to do that!?"
"Hmm, I don't really care much about clothes (equipment). I can manage without them if necessary, and as long as I have a powerful weapon, that's good enough for me."
"No, you have to wear clothes! What kind of view on romance is that?!"
"Well, that's different for everyone..."
"That's also a possibility."
"Is that allowed?!"
"Hmm? Something feels off?"
"A man can get away with just wearing a piece of cloth around his waist, but that's not enough for a female character."
"Well, obviously! I mean, even for men, wearing a loincloth is ethically unacceptable!"
"Hmm...?"
"Well, at best, I can only dress them in bunny costumes or swimsuits."
"You pervert!! Koba-chan, Ishigami is a pervert!"
"Miko-chan said earlier that she wanted to wear a bunny costume too..."
"I never said I wanted to do it!! Oh man! I never knew Ishigami was such a pervert..."
"Hey Miko, I think the content of this story is..."
"Okay, I'm ready. Let's get started, Ryuju-senpai."
"Hey, sorry to keep you waiting... Alright, let's go."
The sound of buttons being repeatedly pressed reached their ears from the other side of the partition.
"I think they're talking about games."
"...fart?"
Three hours later...
"Phew... That was pretty good. Ishigami's only just started, but he's doing pretty well."
"Haha, not really."
(I played it a lot last time...)
"Let's do this again, here's my contact information. It'll be easier to exchange game information and meet up online, so make sure you register it."
"Okay. Well, if I know any good tricks or tips, I'll tell you."
"Okay, see you later."
"Yes, see you later."
Leaving behind the sound of bells jingling, Longzhu left the shop.
"...!"
(...I have gaming friends!)
I got Ishigami Yu 's contact information.Ryuzhu peachGaming friends

"..."
"Miko-chan, you know..."
"You don't have to say it..."
"I make embarrassing mistakes quite often, don't I?"
"Waaah! I told you not to say it! You're so mean, Koba-chan!"
