The Story of A Beautiful Girl I Rescued From An Attacker Who Became My Seatmate. - Chapter 15

“Goodnight~”

“Goodnight.”

It was already 11 PM in the afternoon. Kirishima seemed sleepy, so I urged her to go to bed.

However, it’s Golden Week, and I want to enjoy it to the fullest. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything about studying for exams as a second-year high school student.

“Hello~”

“Oh, Kouji.”

“Hey! I’ve been waiting.”

“Hey, Hoshino, Shiina.”

It wasn’t a sudden cancellation, but our plans to hang out got canceled, so we decided to play together online instead.

Today, we’re going to play a game recommended by Shiina, a hardcore gamer. Shiina is also my friend, and we often team up and play various games.

“Alright, let’s play Apex Legends.”

“Okay. I’m starting up the game, so wait a moment.”

I turned on the TV in the living room and the PlayStation. Normally, the PlayStation is connected to my monitor in my room, but since Kirishima is using it as her sleeping area, I brought it downstairs.

“Alright, we’re good to go.”

“Yeah, let’s play Ranked.”

“Of course. Casual or playing with randoms is fine too. We’re already using voice chat.”

“Oh, there’s an enemy at 230 degrees.”

“Roger that. Can I snipe?”

“Got it. It’s a disadvantageous range, so I want to engage before they get closer.”

“Yeah, let’s secure that building for now.”

There are two remaining squads. None of us have died yet. We’re in a situation where we can aim for victory.

I have an SR (Sniper Rifle) and a shotgun as my weapons. I use the SR for medium-long-range sniping and switch to the shotgun for close-quarters combat. However, I’m not very good at close-quarters combat, so I have to rely on my teammates.

“Oh, there’s an enemy.”

“Alright, I’ll shoot.”

I carefully aim at the enemy peeking out from behind a rock and shoot.

“Nice, I broke the armor of the front guy.”

“Okay.”

I adjust my aim to the exposed enemy’s head and shoot.

“Good, headshot.”

“All right, let’s push while they’re distracted.”

“Roger.”

Due to the shrinking zone and it being the endgame, the area damage is significant, so we quickly move. We chose a spot behind a fence.

I look through the scope, observing the enemy’s movements.

“Oh, watch out.”

At that moment, we came under concentrated fire from the enemy. I didn’t get knocked down, but my armor is almost depleted.

I quickly hide in a safe spot and recharge my armor.

“Hey, the next zone is on our side. You know what to do, right?”

“Yeah, got it. Let’s win this.”

We patiently wait for the zone to shrink. The voice chat becomes silent, and tension fills the air.

“They’re here!”

I look through the scope and quickly align my aim. The enemy is moving, so I also consider bullet drop and pull the trigger.

“I hit the body.”

“Nice. Okay, one down.”

Once the cooking was done, I aimed for another headshot.

“Damn it, I missed.”

“Don’t worry. Ah, I lost sight of them.”

“I have three sniper bullets left. I’ll make sure to hit him this time.”

I peered through the scope, keeping an eye on the fence, ready for the enemy to appear at any moment.

“Ah!”

Reflexively, I pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the enemy’s head perfectly.

“You’re a genius, man! Let’s push!”

“Yeah, let’s go!”

The entire party rushed towards the enemy.

I switched my weapon to the shotgun and sprinted alongside them.

“Yes, we did it!”

“Nice!”

The kill feed showed that Shiina had eliminated the final enemy.

The screen displayed the words “YOU ARE THE CHAMPION.”

“Wow, Kouji, your aiming skills are incredible.”

“Well, Shiina managed to get 5 kills too.”

In this match, I got 3 kills, Hoshino got 2 kills, and Shiina got 5 kills. Shiina is indeed a hardcore gamer. Shiina is one rank higher than me. However, in ranked matches, the matchmaking is based on the highest rank within the party, so we are forced into high-level battles. Can’t be helped.

“Well, it’s already 1 AM, so I’m going to bed.”

“Oh, really? Let’s stay up a bit longer.”

“Yeah, you’re right. It’s still Golden Week after all.”

It was already past 1 AM, and I was starting to feel tired. Considering Kirishima waking me up in the morning, I probably couldn’t stay up much longer.

“Sorry, but I’m tired, so I’m going to sleep.”

“I see. Well then, see you.”

“Yeah, good night.”

I turned off the PlayStation and began to prepare for bed.

“Oh, I forgot to bring the charger again. I should charge it tonight…”

As I tried to check my phone notifications, I noticed that the battery logo on my mobile turned red.

Since I had been on a call throughout the game, my phone’s battery had depleted to around 10%. I didn’t want it to run out of charge. Although it did happen yesterday.

So, I decided to go to my room to get the charger. However, Kirishima was sleeping in my room… I mustn’t make any mistakes.
