Part 1

Ushio: …Ha

Ushio: (I’ve been playing this MMO since elementary school but, I may be cooked for real this time)

(The boss is basically unbeatable without multiplayer… did the devs even think about the solo players?)

(Not everyone is the type of person who wants to join a guild and play games while socialising with strangers!!)

(Well, I could just skip it right? This isn’t a main event after all. But… but…)

Ushio: (The event's theme is Patissier!! There's no way I can skip it!!)

Tao: …Ah.

Ushio: (Plus, this reward skin… looks kinda like Reito’s patissier's coat. Even with the colour scheme. What could this even mean)

(Could there be a Patibato stan on the dev team? Are they hinting at a future collab?)

Ushio: Ugh…, I really don’t wanna miss out on this…

But, the guild is…

Tao: Ushio? What's wrong?

Ushio: aHHh!? K-Kinouchi san.

Tao: I saw you glaring at your laptop earlier, is something on your mind?

Ushio: (Come to think of it, Kinouchi san's a gamer, isn't he? I remember Idiotake yapping about a “god-tier play” or something like that)

Tao: …?

Ushio: (... Kinouchi san is more sensible than other people. I guess asking him wouldn’t hurt)

Ushio: Umm…

—time skip—

Tao: … I see.

Ushio: I tried playing a round of single player, but I couldn’t even get a hit in.

Tao: If you’re ok with it, shall we play together?

Ushio: Eh, are you sure?

Tao: Of course. I don’t know how much I can help with, but it's probably better than nothing right.

Ushio: …! T-thank you so much…

Tao: Ok. I’ve joined your guild, so let’s kick that boss’ ass and get the rewards!

—Rooster Room—

Tao: Hmm. This is different to the games I normally play so it might take a bit to get used to it…

Ushio: …but like, you’re already getting the hang of it 

Tao: Really?

Ushio: (He wasn’t making much progress at first, but he’s been rapidly killing enemies and levelling up in such a short amount of time)

Tao: It’s all thanks to the equipment you gave me. Cuz of that, I won’t die so easily. 

Ushio: I-I see.

Ushio: Well, I guess this sorta thing is normal for someone who has been gaming for a while.

Tao: Haha, as expected. So…, the target event boss’ level and HP…

Hm. With the level I’m at now and your support, it might just be possible.

Should we try challenging it?

Ushio: Eh– Already…!?

Tao: Should we just skip it then?

Ushio: Nah, it’s fine, but…

It’s more like I don’t think a total beginner would be able to do it right away.

Tao: It’ll be fine. I’ll use every bit of my gaming skills and give it my all!

Part 2

Ushio: (...What– just happened?)

Tao: This MMO is a bit different from Final Brave, but it’s good fun.  Thanks for telling me about it, Ushio!

Ushio: (You’re kidding… He cleared it all) 

(Let’s see, in my rewards box… I got… the patissier's coat that looks just like Reitos!)

Ushio: Ah, um… Anyways, thank you so much.

Tao: Ah no it’s nothing, I should be the one saying that. I’m sorry for holding you back.

If I had applied the buffs a little better along the way, I wouldn’t have had to take extra damage but…

My fingers just can’t keep up, you know

Ushio: (HAa!? How's he saying all that after pulling off a play like that--on his first try too!?!? Even experienced players can't attack like that!!)

Tao: Thank you. That’s Ushio’s seal of approval.

Ushio: (Everything's settled now? Thanks to Kinouchi san’s help. Besides…)

(... “Guild Member Count: 2”...)

(...Let’s keep the membership restriction as they are)

Tao: Since it was super fun and all, I’m going to properly farm levels from now on. So, will you play with me again sometime?

Ushio: Ah sure. If we’re both free that is.

(saying something like that is just polite talk anyway…)

—Horse Room—

Muneuji: Uuchan, I’m going to bed first. Good night.

Ushio: Mm, good night.

(Ah…He’s online today too…)

(He’s always so diligent about collecting items and such for us… Does Kinouchi san have that much free time?)

(...Well, we can probably challenge the boss again if it’s with him)

As for the next event’s rewards, I’ll look into it tomorrow.

—Living Room—

Chihiro: Hurrrgh Hurrrrgh!

Ushio: …? What are you doing, Natsuyaki san? Holding such a large amount of food like that.

Chihiro: Oh this? It’s Taotao’s replenishment supplies!

Like recently, he seems to have gotten addicted to a new MMO game. He’s like nottt eating at all!!

Ushio: Haa..!?

Ushio: (What is that guy doing! I didn’t say to get THAT addicted though!?)

Chihiro: Does Ushipoyo wanna join me~? Ah, if we bring Ushiopoyo’s sweets, Tao might actually stop!

Ushio: (…)

(…I dragged him into this mess so, I should probably take responsibility)
