43: The Woman Who Doesn’t Trigger Erea’s Sensor

I have my fair share of connections with famous Fighters.
 
It wouldn’t be wrong to say I’m generally acquainted with people known as top-class Pro Fighters.
 
Among them, a certain Fighter I’ve been friends with for a long time is coming to visit the regional city where I live for the first time in a while.
 
Since that’s the case, we arranged to meet at the station to grab food together. Unfortunately, Daia couldn’t make it.
 
Well, since this acquaintance is staying for several days, we’ve arranged to … Read the rest

42: How to Beat Your Rival!

 
A single girl enters the shop.
 
A drill-haired ojou-sama with bluish-white hair. It’s Aroma-Eustia.
 
Necca, the hot-blooded boy who’d been having various exchanges with me at the counter, and I greet her.
 
“Ah, it’s the lady who came to the shop and collapsed the other day.”
 
“I-I’m Aroma.”
 
“Welcome, Aroma-san. What brings you here today?”
 
I’ve only met Aroma-san once before, the other day.
 
Even though she calls me Master Manager and such, it’s not like I’m constantly by her side training her.
 
Or rather, simply put, it seems Aroma-san lives quite far away, … Read the rest

41: This is where Erea’s explosive gacha disater stream happens!

 
“Are you really going to do this……”
 
Night. The shop is already closed, and only Erea and I are left in the card shop “Duelist.”
 
Mecha-Shi has also left for the day.
 
As for where we are now—it’s the living room on the second floor.
 
There, you’ll find streaming equipment, Erea and me, and… a towering mountain of booster boxes.
 
“Good evening, I’m Erea, an employee of the card shop ‘Duelist.’ Tonight, I’ll be doing a pack-opening stream… and probably die doing it!—”
 
Did she just say “die doing it”? … Read the rest

40. Actually, I Kind of Like Wearing Sexy Outfits…

 
A moment of tension.
 
As we swallowed our spit, Yato-chan let out a big breath and—
 
“Nee-san, you got hooked on sexy cosplay street fighting just as I expected…”
 
She said that with a somewhat understanding air.
 
“Yato…?”
 
“It’s okay, Nee-san. I understand. I know about your hobby and how this happened.”
 
“N-no, it’s different, listen, Yato.”
 
No, I think Yato-chan’s understanding is probably completely correct though, Haku-san.
 
That kind of reaction—like you were caught in a state where you almost fell to darkness… isn’t going to work, Haku-san. In any … Read the rest

Yato’s Older Sister Case : Haku-san

 
—That’s right, Haku and Yato are not blood-related sisters.
 
Everyone around them believes they’re real sisters, but in reality, they’re complete strangers with no connection. Haku’s parents went missing when she was young.
 
As a result, she was taken in by the agent organization “Dark Card Agency” that her parents had belonged to during their student days, and became a member.
 
To be precise, Haku was taken in by Ren’s mother, who was the leader of the Dark Card Agency at the time, and Haku volunteered to become an agent to repay that kindness.… Read the rest

39: And Then, Meeting the Mask, under the Moonlit Night

I lost at rock-paper-scissors and ended up having to go shopping for dinner.
 
Damn it, if only I hadn’t been deceived by Erea’s words that she would throw rock…
 
“By the way, I heard there are a lot of weird street Fighters appearing recently.”
 
As I was leaving the shop, Erea said something like that.
 
street Fighters—in other words, Fighters who challenge you to street Fights.
 
Like Fuutarou, the Fighter I battled the other day.
 
Apparently, there are about four Fighters who are becoming a topic of conversation.
 
“Yeah, I’ve … Read the rest

38: I Picked It Up…! The Legendary Card!

“A legendary card?”
 
I heard such a story from the cool boy Crow, who had come to buy packs.
 
Apparently, it’s recently become a hot topic at the school that Crow and the hot-blooded boy Necca attend.
 
“Apparently, a legendary card has appeared somewhere in this town. If you find one lying around, you’ll become the strongest Fighter, or so they say.”
 
“Wow, that’s amazing. …Is that why Necca isn’t here? Is he off searching for that card?”
 
“That guy’s an idiot. He completely believes the rumor.”
 
For all that, Crow-boy is … Read the rest

Young Lady-type Magical Girl Case : Aroma

 
The Aroma who’s now energetic… perhaps too energetic, actually had such a constitution back then that even going out a little would cause her to develop a fever.
 
Fortunately, she was blessed with her surroundings.
 
She was a wealthy Young Lady, and her parents kindly looked after the frail Aroma.
 
Aroma herself had a strong heart that didn’t complain about her circumstances and could look straight ahead and live.
 
However, even so, the environment Aroma was placed in was sufficient to make her suffer.
 
The experience of being tormented by high fever inside … Read the rest

37 The Young Lady Who Came Barging Into My Place Was Actually a Lock Burn User

“Lock Burn” is a deck that defeats opponents one-sidedly without letting them do anything, so needless to say, it’s not suited for pro fighters who also have an entertainment aspect to consider.
 
“I understood it myself desu wa. That I’m not suited to being a pro fighter.”
 
“…Is it because of compatibility with cards?”
 
At my words, Aroma-san nods with a lonely expression.
 
Apparently, Aroma-san has extremely good compatibility with Lock Burn-type cards.
 
Even when she builds decks with other cards, they don’t run … Read the rest

36 The Young Lady Who Came Barging Into My Place Was Actually a Magical Girl (Honestly, My First Time Seeing One)

Agents known to the general public, and agents kept secret.
 
There are various types, but… a magical girl is my first time seeing one.
 
Well, I figured they probably existed somewhere in the world, but…
 
Actually witnessing one with my own eyes is a first-time experience for me.
 
“Um… nice to see you again? Aroma-san.”
 
“…Eh? Master Manager… sama?”
 
Aroma-san, holding her staff-type Ignis Board, striking a pose on top of a telephone pole.
 
Magical Fighter Aroma… or rather, … Read the rest
