It was lunch break in Class B, Year 2 of Toyonosaki Academy.
The lonely Yoshihiko Kamigo looked like he had lost his soul, lying on the table with a dejected look on his face.
Not only did he lose his comrades, but his game console was also confiscated. Kamigo Yoshihiko felt heartbroken and had almost given up on himself.
He couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Tomoya Aki, but that seat was empty.
Since entering the first year of this private high school, Yoshihiko Kamigo has been a companion to Tomoya Aki. Because they share a love for otaku culture, they became good friends.
That Aki Tomoya is an otaku fighter who never cares about other people's eyes. It can be seen from the fact that he was able to play animation at the school festival last year. Not only that, the school library now also has the light novels he put in last year.
Yoshihiko Uego was well aware of Tomoya Aki's extraordinary love for the two-dimensional world.
But such a person turned around and focused on preparing for the exam the next year, and cruelly chose to move out of the house.
After not seeing each other for a spring break, Tomoya Aki has become the annoying "real person" in the eyes of Yoshihiko Kamigo. This contrast makes Yoshihiko Kamigo, who was once his comrade, almost think that the world is going to end.
"That guy went to the library again, didn't he? What a strange person..."
Yoshihiko Kamigo lay listlessly on the desk, wondering if he should also integrate into the other otaku circles in the school. He must be considered abandoned now.
"I'm so sorry for being such a weird person."
Just as Yoshihiko Kamigo was complaining in his heart, a calm voice came from beside him.
This familiar voice made Yoshihiko Kamigo's body become extremely stiff.
not good!
He turned his head awkwardly and found that Akitomo was standing next to him.
"Your game console was confiscated, right? When you came back from the office, did the teacher tell you when to return it to you?"
Akitomo didn't pay attention to Kichihiko Kamigo's embarrassed expression, but asked about the incident of his game console being confiscated.
The incident happened in the morning. This kid was unlucky. He was discovered while hiding in a corner playing video games. He was caught red-handed and the evidence was naturally confiscated.
After returning from the teacher's office at noon, Yoshihiko Kamigo looked as if he had given up on himself.
When asked about this, Yoshihiko Kamigo scratched his face and was a little afraid to look at Tomoya Aki.
Are you planning to laugh at him by asking him about this at this time?
I've already suffered enough, and now I have to be mocked by my former comrades?!
This guy who is already heading towards becoming a "real person" must be laughed at!
"Xiyan, are you listening?"
Aki Tomoya frowned and asked again.
His frown seemed to scare Yoshihiko Kamigo, and Yoshihiko Kamigo, who was lying on the table, suddenly jumped up.
"I am here!"
He suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone in the classroom focused their attention on him, making Uehara Yoshihiko feel even more embarrassed.
"Will the game console teacher return it to you?"
Without paying attention to other people's gazes, Aki Tomoya asked again.
Well..." Uego Yoshihiko looked at Aki Tomoya with difficulty, and a wry smile gradually appeared on his face, "Probably at the end of the semester..."
After saying this, Uehara Yoshihiko's head drooped.
At this time, he had already made up his mind. If anyone wanted to laugh at him, then go ahead and laugh at him. There was nothing more miserable than this anyway.
"Really? If you don't mind, I'll give you my game console. I don't have any use for it anyway."
However, Tomoya Aki's attitude was completely opposite to what Yoshihiko Uego had imagined.
"Yes, yes, I knew it was, eh?!"
It took Yoshihiko Kamigo several seconds to realize what Tomoya Aki said, and then he looked up at his former comrade in astonishment.
If I heard correctly, the other party seemed to be asking me to give him his game console...
Uego Yoshihiko: "Huh?"
Aki Tomoya: "Huh?"
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Not only did Yoshihiko Kamigo have a question mark on his face, but Tomoya Aki was also a little confused at this moment.
Did he say anything strange?
He just saw that his friend's game console was confiscated and he couldn't get it back in a short time, so he generously gave the other person his game console that he no longer used.
Is it a very strange thing?
At one point, Aki Tomoya thought that the humanity in Japanese society had become appallingly low.
"Wait, Amami-kun, no, Tomoya, why?!"
Yoshihiko Kamigo was so excited that he was a little incoherent. He looked at Tomoya Aki in surprise, not understanding why the other party did this now.
Didn't this guy abandon his comrade?!
"Why?" Aki Tomoya looked at Uego Yoshihiko with a strange expression. "If you insist on giving a reason, it just so happens that it hasn't been sold yet, right?"
I haven't sold out all the otaku culture stuff I bought in the past, and among them there happens to be a game console. Now Yoshihiko Kamigo's game console has been confiscated. He looks so pitiful, is there anything wrong with giving it to him?
In any case, Akitomo didn't understand why such an action could make Uehara Yoshihiko so excited.
"No, Renye, aren't you already out of your home now?!"
This is not what Yoshihiko Kamigo said, but that they are no longer comrades-in-arms!
His words made Akitomo smile: "What does this have to do with me leaving my home? Aren't we friends?"
It's really a strange reaction, but Aki Tomoya probably also understands why Uego Yoshihiko has become more and more self-destructive recently. In this prejudiced environment, Uego Yoshihiko, who is alone and has not found an organization, may be very lonely.
"We're still friends?!"
Yoshihiko Kamigo seemed to have heard some shocking fact.
He stood up suddenly and almost reached out to put his hand on Aki Tomoya's shoulder and asked again.
"Xiyan, I'm preparing for the exam now, right?"
Aki Tomoya replied weakly.
Being a homebody and being friends are two completely different things.
This simple reason made Yoshihiko Kamigo understand something instantly, and he lowered his head in shame.
"Feel sorry..."
Yoshihiko Kamigo suddenly understood why he had become increasingly distant from his former comrade-in-arms, Tomoya Aki.
The other party also has goals to strive for, but he is still spinning in circles.
During this period after school started, Tomoya Aki was indeed a little difficult to approach, but it was not something he showed on purpose, but he was just really busy.
Even when facing his comrade Yoshihiko Kamigo, Akitomo has no free time.
But in Tomoya Aki's heart, Yoshihiko Kamigo is still his friend, but on his side, as the other person's friend, there are not many obligations he can fulfill as a friend.
"Isn't it weird that you're saying sorry to me?"
Aki Tomoya burst out laughing. There was absolutely no reason for the other party to apologize to him.
Moreover, as a comrade-in-arms, he was the first one to return to reality.
Yoshihiko Kamigo shook his head. He just felt that it was a little late for him to understand Tomoya Aki now. He had thought that he had really been betrayed before, but it turned out that he was wrong.
But as a comrade-in-arms, Aki Tomoya suddenly took a long step forward, leaving him unable to react.
but...
It turns out they can still be friends!
"...You guys, do you really want to apply to a place like the University of Tokyo?"
Yoshihiko Kamigo touched his head, still feeling a little embarrassed.
"No?"
Aki Tomoya asked back.
No matter who asks, Aki Tomoya will not waver in this decision.
"No, if you fail the exam, I will definitely kick you when you're down. You'd better be careful. You haven't seen the viciousness of Lord Kamigo Kihiko yet!"
Yoshihiko Kamigo raised his fist and placed it in front of Tomoya Aki.
The latter couldn't help laughing and raised his fist to touch it lightly with him. The friendship between men is stronger than gold.
"Don't come looking for me again, unless you beg me. Then I might take pity on you and take you to the second dimension for refuge! Do you understand, you traitor?"
"Then you don't need a game console anymore."
"Hey, wait, Tomoya-kun, can you please discuss this matter with me again?!"
…
Time flies and it's time to go home from school again. Aki Tomoya doesn't have to go to cram school today, so he hangs out in the library.
Neon history is no longer the biggest weakness for Aki Tomoya, but compared with other subjects, it is still a point that requires attention.
"Kato-san, which university is that red book from?"
Occasionally, when he met classmates in the library, Tomoya Aki would not deliberately avoid them. When he saw Kato Megumi sitting alone in the corner holding a red book from an unknown university, Tomoya Aki walked up to her with the book and asked casually.
"Aki-san?"
Kato Megumi raised her head, and a ripple flashed in her calm eyes.
Aki Tomoya noticed me again, treating me like a normal person...
In Kato Megumi's eyes, Aki Tomoya treats everyone with the same attitude, even people like herself who have a weak sense of existence are no exception.
This feeling, which is similar to that of ordinary people, is actually not bad for Kato Megumi. At least she won't be easily ignored as usual.
"This is last year's exam paper collection for Fuzugawa University."
Kato Megumi answered in a calm voice, while glancing inconspicuously at the books that Aki Tomoya was holding.
The news that Aki Tomoyuki is also going to apply to the University of Tokyo has spread like wildfire in the school. As one of the three famous people in Toyonosaki Academy, many people are actually paying attention to his actions.
Nowadays, the school library has become one of Aki Tomoya's daily activities, so it is not surprising to meet Aki Tomoya here.
After seeing the books in his hands, Kato Megumi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the changes are really huge!
"Please sit down."
Seeing that Aki Tomoya was still standing, Kato Megumi nodded politely and said something.
Having already received consent, Aki Tomoya naturally sat down opposite Kato Megumi without hesitation, and then said thoughtfully: "Buzugawa University..."
So what kind of fake university is this?
Akito Tomoya felt that he needed to check out what other weird universities there were in Japan.
"It's barely a second-rate university, so it's normal that the Aki alumni don't know about it."
After all, everyone's focus is on the University of Tokyo, so it's normal that they don't know about a university like Fuzugawa.
Kato Megumi didn't think there was anything strange about Aki Tomo not knowing about Fuzugawa University either.
"Don't say that. I'm really a little ignorant."
Aki Tomoya shook his head. The Neon where he was now was indeed different from his memories of his previous life in many ways.
