[LN] Tomodachi no Oneesan to inkya ga Koi wo Suruto Dounarunoka? - Chapter 2 - Part 3

 

Chapter 2 - (Part 3)

It's rare for an eSports tournament to have a jump-in quota.

The character that Reiji had manipulated was displayed on the big screen, showing that he had ranked first out of a total of 100 players, including online players.

Sakuya covered her mouth with both palms and shouted out her thoughts.

Her boyfriend on stage - Reiji's back was reflected in front of her eyes, confused by the large number of spectators showing great excitement. Besides, it was rare for an eSports tournament to be organized by renting out the parking lot of such a large venue that was directly connected to the train station and attracted a large number of people on weekends.

Three stage trucks, which had been made by overhauling a 10-ton longwing truck, were lined up.

The graphic logo of a new game supply manufacturer appeared.

I'm sure this up-and-coming manufacturer feels that e-sports is still a target.

The event was held at a venue near the station facilities, which also includes a recently opened shopping complex that was frequented by young couples and families with children.

And it seems that the plan worked.

The audience gathered to watch the players play on the big screen, and the place was filled with people who don't usually play games.

The players also seemed to feel a new excitement in the cheers, different from the usual. The name of the game, which was advertised as a 100-player battle royale-style game, "End of the Century," began to sink into the minds of the audience.

The effort to make e-sports feel more intimate was expressed not only in the location, but also in the recruitment of game participants.

There was the diving participation slot, which is rare in e-sports.

Sakuya floated in the sea of nets like a jellyfish, and with the help of her younger brother Ayato, she learned about the tournament.

 And,

"Want to go shopping with me?" she asked on the pretext of going to the mall,

"Oh, they're doing something! Do you want to see it?"

 Of course, she invited Reiji to participate in the diving e-sport competition.

"There is only one goal."

"It was to give Reiji confidence."

And just as Sakuya had hoped, Reiji won the general competition and would now participate in the main tournament.

"While playing SmoBro, I was impressed that I could beat Reiji."

Although she asked her younger brother Ayato to give her intensive training to fight Reiji, the reason she was able to win against Reiji, who had a lot of potential, was because he actually beat her at that time.

As we found out when she went to the gym, she can do things well.

She can do things well, as she knows when she goes to the gym.

That's why if you can get him to have confidence, his life should be able to peel away one by one.

Recently, Reiji said, "I've always had this kind of personality...".

It was true that Reiji did not have the personality to push others or to step forward for his own victory.

Because Reiji is like that, I really like him.

But Sakuya knows.

I know that Reiji is great.

And he underestimated himself too much.

"Reiji, whom I love so much, is so wonderful."

Sakuya wants you to recognize yourself like that. She doesn't tell you to be self-confident.

"But I want Reiji to understand the extraordinary side of Reiji."

She said that he is a good person.

So Sakuya came up with a certain strategy.

The name is "Reiji-kun, Great Strategy to Realize Your Talent".

Reiji had to assert himself again.

By doing so, he will realize his own choices that he has never seen before, and his future will flourish.

For example, if you put him in a place like this, where everyone can honestly admire Reiji's ability and give him applause and cheers, little by little.

In the end, though, he will accept himself as a great person...

I think that's what I can do now that I appreciate Reiji.

And now that he's accepted himself and become bolder than he is now, I'm sure he'll change the situation we're in now...!

In other words, Reiji should become more intimate and aggressive!

With that in mind, I was compelled to participate.

While watching the game, he grasped the main points of the game and joined the many general participants.

Although it was him first time, he made it to the final round.

And, even in the main match with many spectators and Sakuya watching, him performance did not stop.

He showed an MVP-class performance by being able to end Reiji's unintentional "play" in the game with the player who earned the championship trophy.

"The game you played this time."

"Seikimatsukiko" is a game that has the appearance of a battle royale that shoots using firearms.

However, in reality, during the planning stage of this game, the rules were based on the assumption that all players would fight with their bare hands until the end.

Using the martial arts he had trained, he defeated 99 other players on a remote island.

However, midway through production, the game was beefed up, and firearms were introduced in the same way as most Battlerois games.

As a result, firearms became the strongest, but in reality, the game was released with fighting game elements secretly inserted.

Although he understood the gist of the game, Reiji, who had a poor understanding of the rules, ignored the firearms and started knocking down other players with his bare hands.

Later, he monopolized the live broadcast with a romantic game of firearms vs bare hands, and was defeated by a professional player with just one shot.

As Reiji, who fought hard but was defeated, exited the game, the match room was filled with thunderous applause.

And the players watching the live broadcast around the world praised him.

This Rage game triggered the reintroduction of non-firearm fighting techniques, firearm + fighting techniques, and rules and game modes dedicated to them, into Seikimatsu Kitsugi. That's a different story ....

Of course, even Sakuya, who didn't really understand the circumstances, was screaming in her heart with her eyes fixed on her heart.

"It's amazing!" and.

Reiji, who lost, left the stage and eventually returned in front of Sakuya, while being given many business cards by the scouts of the e-sports team.

"I'm late. I'm sorry, Sakuya-san.

"Don't worry, Reiji. I already told you to join."

Sakuya managed to look older and blinked at Reiji.

"Still, Reiji is amazing."

"Is that so... I thought everyone was amazing..."

As if something was wrong with her, she craned her neck and scratched her head with her usual expression.

"More than that, thank you. It was a lot of fun. But..."

As if thinking, Reiji's eyes narrowed.

"Sakuya-san, you still didn't enjoy shopping, did you? That's why I'm going to go out with Sakuya-san from now on. Please tell me something."

"Uh, uh, huh? Should I go out with you then?"

I thought she would die from a sentence like that, but somehow Sakuya kept her alive.

She can't die here.

Reiji's words seemed to upset her, so she calmed her heartbeat and mind as much as she could.

I can't help but enjoy Reiji's company.

I'm really enjoying it.

Reiji, you're too cool...!

(No...!)

What are you going to do when I am being entertained!

Even if I love Reiji more... it's okay!

I have to make him like me more...!

-But even after that, Sakuya fell in love with Reiji again and again.

After that, Sakuya found an event where she could play an active role and invited him almost every week.

Sometimes you have to stretch your legs a bit, design a route and create opportunities while maintaining as much naturalness as possible.

And Reiji's breakthroughs did not stop there.

In the Gluttony Championship, he showed a bold pursuit in the second round, and many influential people who were impatient with him broke him own new record and missed the grand prize, but he fought bravely.

(Because) I won the prize.

Even in the "Trivia King Championship," he was eliminated from the competition in the middle of the stage, but he complained about the inadequacy of the answers to the questions leading up to the finals, creating a dramatic flow in which both answers were correct.

Even in "Ikemen Fes", Reiji, who participated in Sakuya's arrangement, lost the voice of the judge who said that he wanted him favorite pretty model to win, and became listless. After the festival, they were called and exchanged contact information.

Reiji made many friends at the various events he participated in, and made a track record that was remembered by the people involved.

Nevertheless, Reiji, who played an active role in Ibushi Gin, remained unaffected no matter what the situation.

Instead, he continued to surprise Sakuya with his admirable "incompetence". Reiji was always humble, even though he had many opportunities to open up possibilities in the future.

Along with him "lack of confidence" and "everyone..." attitude,

For me, it's still a bit...

Reiji doesn't seem to care about his own potential.

To put it bluntly, I'm not too enthusiastic.

However, depending on how you look at it, Sakuya's frustration increased when Reiji looked back.

"The potential is real!" "Although Sakuya's heart is beating so fast."

"(Oh no! Just a little more...! I think just a little more...!)"

Nevertheless, it was likely that this experience would grow in Reiji one day.

Sakuya continued to gather information today.
