Chapter 8: Face to Face with Rio Natsume



Rio Natsume is sitting opposite us.

The person next to her is probably the manager.

She was a beautiful woman.

I feel a little awkward, considering that I am the only male at the table.

Ryo Takamori-san. Nice to meet you.

Saying so, Rio held out her right hand.

Nice to meet you.

I lightly grasped Rios right hand and we shook hands.

Ive seen your videos!Your sniper skills are already great, and your spotting is also !

Rio is happy to talk about it.

Thank you. I saw your videos too. Your mid-range aim is amazing.

My specialty is long-range sniping.

Of course, I can also do short- and medium-range assault, but I thought Rio was an excellent medium-range shooter.

Eh, thank you. Its nice to be praised by the best in the world.

Saying so, Rio gives a gentle smile.

Is there a man in this world who would not fall in love with this smile?

I, too, would love to play prohople with you, Rio-san. I dont play duo so much, so I might be dragging you down.

No, no, no, I didnt think youd be okay with me, and on the contrary, I might drag you down.

Rio looks down a little and speaks.

Well, I think games are meant to be enjoyed, so lets have fun playing together.

Yes, Ill do my best!

All of Rios gestures are cute.

This is the kind of thing that tickles a mans fancy.

She has a beautiful face, which explains why she is so popular, as well as the gap between her face and the rest of her body.

Are we in the way?

Shirase-san, who was standing next to me, is smiling.

It was like a child whose prank had succeeded.

Shirase-san and Rios manager left the coffee shop with similar smiles on their faces.

Takamori-kuns manager is a beautiful person, isnt she?

Well, yes. Oh, shes always like that, so dont worry about it.

Yeah, thats okay. My manager is like that too.

I have an iced coffee and Rio has a caf latte.

What about the collaboration schedule?

I go on to the main topic of the meeting.

Well, is it easier to see if everyone has the next day off?

I guess so. Maybe Friday or Saturday would be good.

Then how about next Friday?

Yeah, I can do it at night.

I often stream on Fridays, too, though not every week.

Lets do it then!

Okay, Ill be there.Im looking forward to it. We can play games together.

And we decided on a date to do the collab stream.

It was the first time I had met Rio, but since we share the same hobbies, are both pro-gamers, and are close in age, I felt we quickly became closer.

Im looking forward to it!I have to practice a lot and get better.

Youre already good enough.

Thus, Japans No. 1 and the worlds No. 1 were meant to meet.
