Today is Sunday.
It is the best day of the week as I don’t have school or work, and I can just laze about at home all day. However, today, I don’t seem to have any time to do that.
Yes, this weekend, the smartphone game I mentioned before, Human Beast War, has an event going on. Yesterday, all I did was play the game and today will most likely be the same. Really, it’s going to be such a productive weekend.
Feeling a sense of fulfillment, I opened up my smartphone. The current time is about 12 o’clock. Today as well, I wanted to gather the party members at this time so that we could go on hunts together.
After preparing different foods and drinks so that I can play games for ten hours straight, I lay down on my bed. I’ve tried out many different things, but this position is the easiest to play games in. I lay in my futon for about 5 minutes for other members to log in, but no one logged in besides me.
I wonder what happened. Yesterday, they were all so into it too. Well, since there isn’t much I can do about it, I randomly picked a quest for gathering experience points and joined it. In order for strong weapons and armors to drop, it is important to make sure to gather experience.
This game can ultimately be divided into five difficulty levels. The quest that I’m currently doing is a C rank quest, the third highest difficulty rank. It’s at the level where I can just barely defeat it with my skill.
Normally, with my party members we can somehow clear B rank quests, but that’s impossible when I’m alone. By the way, A rank quests are considered impossible without a party of tens or more people. We once tried an A rank quest as our party of 5 and we were defeated by the first monster that we fought.
For this time’s event, I heard that you get a really nice reward if you clear the A rank quest. A limited-edition costume of some sort. To be honest, I don’t really need any special costumes to go on quests so I don’t really have that much interest in an event like this. However, there are people in our party who enjoy having many different costumes, so we end up accompanying them on quests.
Coincidentally, one of those people happened to log in just now. When a party member logs in, a notification will pop up at the top of the screen whether or not you are in the middle of a quest.
The username was Ryouma.
Even though the username sounds like a boy, judging from the way she communicates in chat it’s most likely a girl. Since Ryouma logged in just now, I quit my quest and returned to the home screen. One good point about this game is that if you quit a quest in the middle, you will still get the experience points you have gained so far from the quest.
“Yosshii-san, I’m sorry for being late.”
When I returned to the home screen and opened up the group chat, Ryouma had typed this out for me. By the way, my in-game name is Yosshii. This is usually the name that I use when I play games.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Where are the other people though?”
“I think they said they couldn’t come.”
“What!? Didn’t we all say we were going to play together today?”
“Eh, is that so?”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought. Am I wrong?”
“You probably misread. It’s just us two today!”
Somehow, doesn’t Ryouma seem a little more excited than usual? I don’t really see her using an exclamation mark too often. Well, it seems like none of the other party members are coming now. Other people have their own lives to live I guess, I shouldn’t get mad at them.
“So, it’s just the two of us… I guess doing B quests would be pushing it a little bit.”
“That’s true. Let’s limit ourselves to completing C quests together!”
“Y-yeah!”
I tried using an exclamation mark after I saw Ryouma using it. It somehow doesn’t feel right…
“Ah— That was fun—”
I, Echizen Hina dove into my bed. Today, I’ve been playing games since noon so I’m a little tired. It was still really fun though.
“Sigh, as I thought, Yosshii-san is really cool.”
Today as well, I was saved by Yosshii-san many times. Usually, I use a gun, and shoot at monsters from far away, but sometimes, they attack me from behind and I get caught. At times like this, faster than anyone else, Yosshii-san always comes to save me. Also, he always gives me his recovery items.
It was also Yosshii-san that invited me to this party in the first place. After playing alone for a long time, I just happened to go on a quest with him one day, and at that time, he invited me to the party.
Because of him I started enjoying the game a lot more, and life became more fun. Moreover, today, it was just Yosshii-san and me playing together. It was really fun. I had the party members help set up the situation though. It really was a fun time. Somehow, it kind of felt like a date…
Yosshii-san is probably really nice in reality too. If I could meet him, I would really like to.… It’s not possible though.
“Hinaa~, dinner’s ready, are you coming?”
My mother calls me for dinner. Oh yeah, I’ve been so absorbed in my game that I haven’t eaten dinner yet.
“I’m coming~”
After replying, I left my room and went down to the first floor.
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks
Will she be disappointed if she knows Yoshii is her perverted co-worker? xD
hope not, kinda dont wanna disliike her that much. Hate characters when they’re like that, you know?
Thanks for the chapter!
Hina finding out mc is Yosshii but already has a girlfriend confirmed? 😂
Thanks for the chapter.
I’m more concerned with what Kii will think when she learns that these two have occasionally been going out alone on ‘date-quests’ for months. Will she start thinking that every time she has seen him striving to play his game on the train he was secretly playing with Hina? Let’s see if the author will test the limits of Kii’s borderline yandere-ness.
He’s gonna be in a some prison cell when he wakes up lmao
Thanks for the chapter! She’s in for a surprise later lol.
……. this is slowly becoming like gamers for some reason
Yep, there’s a feel of like Gamers on Echizen’s and MC’s parts especially when ….. Oops I might be spoiling… Well just certainly there’s kinda atmosphere like Gamers.
Misunderstandings everywhere.
Yup and we need more of it (misunderstandings)
Same here, but this one has a yandere instead of an airhead maiden in love gamer.
Thank you for the chapter!

Seeing the result on Gamers, this might go well but if we think what will happen if Kii somehow found tjis out….. I'm a little scared for Hina right now.
Hmm…this feels like it will turn into a situation where Hinata finds out Yoshii is her co-worker and screams: Iyaa!!! I don’t wanna die!!
I wonder if hinata will have a violent reaction when she find who he is
Thanks for doing this chapter!😄
A Scene of carnage . . .
Hope MC lives
Thanks for the chapter!
Ladies and gentlemen we interrupt our scheduled novel to bring you a special edition of Gamers lol
This guy gets it.
…There will be blood…
…and Tears…. XD
Ryoma Echizen? Seems like author is a Prince of Tennis fan.
These appear often in jap LN/animes but do people really develop a crush for an online person when they don’t even know about them or even their gender, this feels so weird ……
