I, an otaku nerd, am an esports champion.

I fix my hair and head to the washroom.

should I set it today?

I remember what Rio said to me the other day.

I picked up the wax and started to fiddle with my hair.

Okay, thats about right.

I thought I had done a good job.

Then I sprayed it down and set it.

All right, lets go.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was 30 minutes before the appointed time.

I was dressed in the same all-black style as before.

I left my apartment and started walking slowly toward the station.

It was only a little more than ten minutes from the apartment to the station.

When I arrived at the coffee shop, I received a call from Rio.

Im at the front!

Roger that.

I replied and went inside the coffee shop.

I told the waitress that I was going to meet her.

Rio was sitting at a table by the window, drinking a caf latte.

Sorry, Im late.

Dont worry about it. I came early.

No, its still the same as making you wait.

I like that kind of thing about Ryo-kun.

Saying that, Rio smiled.

At that moment, a tremendous shock ran through my heart.

Oh Thank you.

Rios facial expression changes so often and she is so cute.

If there is a man who is not thrilled when she smiles at him, I will give him the title of hero.

Thinking about such a trivial thing, I sat down opposite Rio and ordered an iced coffee.

You got your hair done today.

Yes, I did it because you complimented me on it the other day.

You definitely look better that way!You look so cool!

Im so happy.

I was able to see Rios happy expression and it made me happy, too.

Im sorry I called you out so suddenly.

You dont have to worry about that either. I wanted to meet you too.

The fact is that I wanted to meet with Rio.

Is there anyone in this world who wouldnt want to meet such a beautiful girl?

Even so, yesterdays broadcast had a great response.

Oh, yeah. By the way, have you seen this video?

I showed her the video clipping of me and Rio on my phone.

I saw it! Thanks to this, the number of subscribers is increasing!

Im glad to hear that. This Asuna-san is the one who always makes my best scenes.

Thats why you get clips so fast.

Yes, yes.

It seems that Rio was surprised at the speed at which the collection of famous scenes was created yesterday and today.

Hey, do you want to play a game other than FPS this time?I want to play in person, not online.

Okay. If I remember correctly, theres a free studio in our office, so Ill ask Shirase-san.

The office I belong to has a studio that creators can use for free.

There are lighting and other equipment there, as well as game consoles.

Can I, from another agency, use that?

If Im there, it wont be a problem.

Ill take your word for it then. Lets show our faces this time!

Yes, lets do that.

After discussion with Rio, it was decided that the game to be played would be a racing game.

I have a suggestion for you .

After saying that much, Rio paused for a moment.

Would you like to join me in aiming to become the worlds No. 1 Prohopple?
