In the evening, after Shiina Mahiru went back, Mochizuki then remembered that Yamada Elf in his phone hadn't replied to him yet.
So he took out his phone again to check, and sure enough, it was the familiar barrage of messages again.
In the end, Mochizuki could only appease her by staying up all night playing games with her tonight.
Anyway, it's a holiday, so let's go wild tonight!
A moment later, Mochizuki's phone received a call.
"Moshi Moshi, hello."
Mochizuki Yo found it a bit strange how there was an unknown number; he rarely received calls, mostly just spam.
Usually, he would choose to hang up immediately.
But since he had nothing to do right now, he might as well listen.
If it was a scammer, he could have a good chat with him.
"Yo, Mochizuki-kun, it's me, Nakano."
"Long time no see, happy holidays!"
A steady voice came from the other end of the phone.
Mochizuki's brain quickly searched for who it could be.
"Un... Uncle? Long time no see."
Mochizuki was a little surprised; it turned out to be Uncle Nakano, so it wasn't strange that he could find his number.
Nakano Maruo, Mochizuki's mother's younger brother, is his uncle.
A famous entrepreneur who started from scratch, he built several large hospitals in the big city of Tokyo through his cleverness, extraordinary vision, and sharp market analysis skills.
Furthermore, he has been selected as one of Tokyo's top ten outstanding entrepreneurs for several consecutive years.
He is also very famous in the industry, a prominent figure.
"Hmm.
I heard from your parents that you moved to Chiba.
How have you been recently?
If you're short on money, you can tell your uncle, I won't tell your parents."
It seems Nakano Maruo also knows Mochizuki's current situation, being left to his own devices by his parents.
Mochizuki sighed, thinking, 'As expected of Uncle Nakano, he's as good to me as ever.'
However, he wasn't short on money now; in fact, after re:zero − starting life in another world is published, he will have a considerable income.
"I'm doing well at the moment, and I'm not short on money.
Thank you, Uncle."
After chatting about everyday things, Nakano Maruo also got to the point.
Nakano Maruo was slightly embarrassed; after saying all that, he actually had an ulterior motive, even if it was for his own nephew.
"Cough cough, actually, your uncle needs to ask you for a favor."
"Please say it, Uncle."
Mochizuki was puzzled, wondering what his resourceful uncle could possibly need his help with, and listened carefully.
"Actually, it's like this.
Ichika and her sisters, you remember them, right!
Hahahaha, they really liked you when they were kids."
"Now they have transferred to Chiba."
"At that place, Soubu High School, right!
The same school as you."
"Those few of them said that Tokyo was too competitive, they couldn't keep up with their studies, and they often failed exams.
If this continues, they'll have to repeat a year.
There was nothing I could do, so I had to transfer them to Chiba.
Although I know they haven't really put their minds to studying."
"Next, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of them, show them around the campus and stuff, those few idiots."
"And they said they really miss you too."
"I see, I understand, Uncle."
"Oh right, I remember you used to have good grades, didn't you?
Could you help them with their studies while you're at it!
You wouldn't believe it!
The tutors I found were all chased away by them."
"Okay, Uncle."
Although he agreed, regarding tutoring, Mochizuki felt that he was likely incapable of the task; he himself was in a slump right now.
"Ah, but don't have too much hope either."
"Alright, that's it for now, I'm still busy.
If you have any financial difficulties, remember to find me, or you can find Ichika and the others too."
Afterward, Nakano Maruo left the current residential address of the sisters.
It seems Mochizuki will have to find time to visit them.
After all, Mochizuki used to live with the sisters when they were young, and their relationship was quite good back then.
Now, being entrusted by his uncle, it's only right that he makes this trip.
It seems like another day of the holiday will be spent on this.
After finishing the call, he returned to the game.
Recently, Mochizuki and Yamada Elf's team gained a new member.
She was a quite skilled gamer, performing astonishing moves at many crucial moments and carrying Mochizuki and Yamada Elf several times.
This was also one of the reasons why Yamada Elf hadn't been constantly pestering Mochizuki recently; she had a new playmate.
In the game....
Yōsei-sama: Damn it, what did this guy go do, he actually went AFK
Yōsei-sama: He didn't bail, did he?
We said we'd stay up all night!
In contrast, the other teammate seemed much calmer.
Ai Kele's Little Tuli: Well, maybe something came up!
Let's wait a bit and protect Mochizuki-kun.....
Lazy Mochizuki: I'm back, I was on the phone just now
Ai Kele's Little Tuli: It's alright
Yōsei-sama: You actually made the two of us wait for so long, you have to stay up all night with me tonight!
Lazy Mochizuki: Alright, alright, you guys can pick the BOSS drops first later.
Ai Kele's Little Tuli: Yay!
Yōsei-sama: You said that!
With that said, the three of them began challenging the dungeon.
Their battle would last the entire night.
