My portable gaming girlfriend

【Day 3】

Return to the world of "Sakura Story" again.

I have already kept the strategy in mind, in order to make up for the mistake of not inviting Sakura to see Meow-chan, I read the file back to the early morning of the third day.

On the cherry blossom path, the pink-haired girl sensed my approach from a distance and waved to me.

"Morning, Gao Cheng!"

"Morning Yuchuan, are you enjoying the cherry blossoms today?"

"That's right—today's cherry blossom rain seems to be thicker than usual!"

A petal of cherry blossom fell on my outstretched hand—

"Hey, you got petals here..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand without thinking and helped me remove a petal of cherry blossoms from my hair on my forehead...

My ears started to get hot again...

"I took it off for you without authorization... I'm sorry!"

Sakura turned around with a suspicious blush on her face, did she realize that her actions were too intimate?

All of a sudden, the atmosphere was as cold as winter in Siberia... I had to say something to change the atmosphere.

"Meow sauce was also jumping around before going out today..."

Let's divert attention by talking about Meow Sauce.

"I'm really worried that if it is too lively, it will make a mess in Gao Cheng's room...

"You can rest assured that it's not that naughty yet."

"However, I really want to see what it looks like now..."

correct! right here! It's time for fate to diverge!

"If it's convenient for Yu Chuan, you can take a look at Meow-chan."

If you don't say anything, you will miss the best moment to invite her, and you won't be able to start Sakura's follow-up plot.

Even though it was just a game, I was a little nervous.

I remembered that the last time I invited a girl was in junior high school, but I was treated as a pervert and severely educated in public. Since then, I have never invited a girl again...

"Really? Will this disturb classmate Gaocheng, besides your family..."

"No, my family has been traveling recently, so I live alone."

I quickly made up a reason for not having a family... However, living alone and inviting girls to the house is indeed a bit bad...

"Is that so? Then respect is worse than obedience!"

She seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Gaocheng, do you make your own dinner every day?"

"...Well, it's just some simple cooking instant noodles."

I don't need to eat, and the only food prepared at home is instant noodles.

Although the seasoning is readily available-do people who play the love game really use it?

"How can I eat boiled instant noodles every day? Gaocheng students will be malnourished!"

She stretched out her hand, preaching to me like a teacher.

"Will Gaocheng make other things? Nutritious and healthy vegetables and the like."

"That... doesn't seem to be possible."

I scratched my head... How could a gaming nerd have the skill of cooking!

"That can't be done!...So, in order to thank you for adopting Meow-chan, let me teach you how to cook."

"..."

It turned into such a plot... Am I playing this game to learn how to cook? No, I don't want to...

"Tamagawa-san taught me how to cook...sounds good."

In the end, I was afraid that she would regret coming to visit because she was unhappy, so I said this against my will.

"It would be great if Gao Cheng is willing. After all, I don't want Gao Cheng to cause trouble in this matter. It will definitely let you experience the fun of cooking."

It's already bothering me.

However, seeing how seriously she raised her hand...she really wants to teach me how to cook.

Forgive me, I just want to learn love skills, I have no interest in cooking or anything like that.

"Which day do you want to meet, Gao Cheng?"

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are fine."

At least there are club activities to attend tonight.

Although one of the requirements for entering the Narumi Lily Line is to clear the specified game within [Day 3] and [Day 4], but if I can clear that game today, then I can cook with Sakura tomorrow up.

After all, cooking with Sakura is also one of the necessary conditions for the follow-up plot.

This game is so unreasonable, isn't it all crowded together like this?

Fortunately, I have already played the first four chapters of the game Escape from Zombie School, and I have a good chance of clearing the level in one day.

"Then tomorrow, okay?"

I nod.

"Great! I will prepare well when I go back~"

Is it really that fun just cooking together? Or say it to me... No, stop delusion!

——After school, the game club.

"Gao Cheng, good afternoon!"

The president saw me coming and put down the handle in his hand.

"I already finished the strategy and posted it on the forum yesterday, and the response has been pretty good!"

Will that kind of game have a good response? I will not believe it.

"So, today and tomorrow your task is to clear this game—————"Escape from Zombie School"~"

It was exactly the same scene as the previous [Third Day].

"This is a..."

"I know, it's a horror game. The main character has no fighting ability but must find a way to escape from school, right?"

I used a very fast speed to complete the description in advance of what she was going to read later.

"Huh? Do you know this game?"

"Of course I know, it's a 'hot' game after all."

Although only popular within a niche range. But this time is obviously not the time for me to be serious, and I can't say that kind of thing, otherwise I will wait to accept the flag like last time.

"I'm not afraid of horror games or anything, leave it to me!"

"Student Gaocheng, don't be brave. If you are afraid, you must tell me. I am not afraid of horror games..."

"What, the president has clearly stayed on the title interface for 10 minutes..."

The member named Tanaka answered the conversation indiscriminately.

"...Shut up, Tanaka-san."

Narumi Lily glared at him.

"And most importantly, this is a game with a very short process, so we have to clear the level in these two days. If we don't clear the level, we will be compared by other strategy groups. This is the last thing I want to see ! Student Gaocheng, can you do it?"

"Two days? Hehe——"

I deliberately put on an inscrutable look.

"What……"

Narumi Lily looked at me suspiciously.

"I can pass the customs today!"

I said with confidence.

"Is... such a thing really possible?"

Don't you believe it... Forget it, she will be so envious when she sees the customs clearance screen later.

Thanks to the experience of passing the level last time, the game process was extremely smooth. It went so smoothly that Narumi Lily didn't cover her eyes, but watched and recorded very carefully.

Soon it was 5 o'clock. At this point I was only a garden away from escaping from school.

Club activities will end at 5 o'clock by default. If you don't clear the customs today, you can't continue to attack Narumi Lily.

Whatever you say, you have to play through.

"It's almost over, damn—"

Because I haven't played the last level, the speed of clearing the level suddenly slowed down.

"It doesn't matter, Gao Cheng, let's go! You can use it until 6 o'clock!"

Narumi Lily was also extremely nervous.

"By the way, Gao Cheng can actually play to the fifth chapter...but I can't even pass one level..."

Has Mr. Tanaka come to watch?

"Do you think Gao Cheng is as timid as you? Also, when will you be able to clear "Planet of the Fake Girl"!"

Narumi Lily turned her head, and severely reprimanded Tanaka-san...

"Forgive me, Mr. President!...I really have no interest in fake girls! I just love ordinary beautiful girls, and I want to be whipped by ordinary beautiful girls. What is wrong with me!"

Classmate Tanaka's 200-jin body knelt down on the ground... This is simply a perverted shaking m.

Just now I heard that he felt sorry for this guy when he was playing the fake girl game, but now that seems to be purely unnecessary sympathy.

However, the difficulty of this game increases with the progress. I cleared the level quickly just because I played it once in the previous week. However, in the face of Chapter 5, which I hadn’t played at all, I became in a hurry. I was discovered by zombie groups more than once, and the game speed dropped severely.

At 5:30, everyone including Tanaka-san has left, only Narumi Lily and I are left...

"Oops, this door is locked, you must find the key!"

"Be careful there are zombies over there...ah!"

Narukai was so scared that she screamed again and again... Even I was very nervous at the last moment before clearing the level, and the speed at which I pressed the handle almost pierced it.

However, it doesn't matter even if it is discovered by zombies, because——

"Secret escape exit!"

The protagonist rushed to the exit under my control... The brightly lit clearance screen made me breathe a sigh of relief.

I always thought it was a boring game...

"Cleared!"

Narumi Lily hugged my arm excitedly...

Wait a minute... why are you holding my arm?

Not only that, my body is tightly attached, and my arms still have a wonderful touch...

My face turned red again.

Catching my gaze, she suddenly realized that she was too close to me.

"!"

She let go of her hand like an electric shock, and quickly turned her face aside...

"So if you're afraid, don't make horror game guides."

"...I'm not afraid!"

Is it because of fear? Why are you playing horror games when you are so scared?

She tidied up the scattered game boards, then suddenly turned around and looked at me seriously.

"Anyway...Gao Cheng, thank you for staying here and playing the game for so long today."

The orange-yellow sunset shone into the room through the window sills, and the ground and her face were reflected orange-red.

"……a piece of cake."

The sudden seriousness made me a little uncomfortable too.

"I can see Gaocheng's love for the game, and it turns out that the boy who is serious about it is the most handsome."

It's the first time for me to be praised as handsome by a girl for my ordinary appearance...

"Thanks……"

Strange, it was obviously just praised by the game characters. I didn't feel so happy when I was thanked for helping the old man in Xinshou Village. Is it because the other party is a beautiful girl?

"It's so late, go back quickly, your family will be worried."

"Actually, my family has gone on a trip recently... Narumi-san's parents will be more worried, right?"

"My parents are fine."

"That's right, it's hard for the parents of a daughter with this kind of character to feel at ease..."

"What kind of personality is this?"

She asked dissatisfied.

"When...of course it is a cheerful personality!"

It can't be said that it is a female character...

"As a girl, Narumi-san, why do you like games?"

"Ask this all of a sudden, I can't talk about it all at once..."

Is this a difficult question to answer?

"It's okay if it's inconvenient."

"It's not inconvenient... It's just that liking games happened so naturally, and I can't explain the reason clearly. It's like liking someone, sometimes it doesn't make sense..."

I always feel that she only said half of what she said, and it must be associated with some past experiences.

"I understand how you feel."

I nodded solemnly.

I am ashamed to say that although I have never been liked by others, I still have the experience of unrequited love...

"...I'll clean up the rest tomorrow. If I don't go home, I'll be scolded."

She put down what she was holding. Is it finally possible to go home?

"Student Gaocheng, why do you like games?"

We walked in the empty teaching building.

"I... there is no reason. I just feel that only when I am playing games, I feel like I am 'alive'."

"Haha...how do I describe it, that word...is 'Secondary Second'?"

"Do you want to say that I am in the second grade..."

"Absolutely not!"

Obviously that's what it means!

"Hey, after I go back, I not only have to do my homework, but also organize the strategy and post it to the forum as quickly as possible. I'm afraid I'm going to stay up all night again today..."

She rested her head on her hands and looked at the ceiling.

"...The school gate is here, let's say goodbye."

Just walking from the 2nd floor to the school gate, our short time together is over.

"By the way, tomorrow night I have other things and I can't come to the club, I want to ask for leave here..."

I almost forgot about cooking with Sakura tomorrow night...

"After all, the game has already been cleared, so I will agree to your request - it can be said that the level can be cleared in a day, and now I think it is incredible."

The game that has been played once, the second week will naturally be more proficient.

"Thank you, President, see you the day after tomorrow."

"See you the day after tomorrow, Gao Cheng!"

Her figure gradually disappeared into the street under the setting sun.

What an energetic person... Talking to this person makes me feel cheerful.

That's the kind of thing, personal influence or something.
