Another day of part-time work is over.

When he got home at night, Hoshi Sakurai fell tiredly on the bed and exhaled.

Although you can get a lot of money and increase your attributes by working part-time, it is also really tiring... your energy consumption is almost twice as fast as usual.

She paused for two seconds, and her eyes fell on the computer unconsciously.

...needs to be recharged.

He took his phone out of his pocket and poked at the familiar pixel cat avatar.

[Sakura: Little K, are you here to level up?]

kdzuken seemed to be playing on his mobile phone by chance and replied quickly.

[kk: Maybe not today...]

[kk: A little hot, sorry]

Huh...? Are you sick?

She was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, the message had already been sent.

[Sakura: So will little K get sick?]

The person on the other end seemed to have mixed emotions about this question and responded slowly.

[kk: I am also a human being...]

[Sakura:...I'm really sorry for not realizing this.]

[Sakura: Are you okay now?]

[kk: It doesn’t matter.]

[kk: I was just too tired during the game]

[Sakura: Then, do you want to rest?]

[kk:...want to chat]

.........There is a subtle feeling of being spoiled.

cute.

[Sakura: I understand.]

She sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, changed into a comfortable position, and randomly found a topic.

[Sakura: Does Little K also play volleyball in reality?]

A competition or something, it should be a club activity, right?

I don’t know what it would be like if kdzuken played volleyball in reality.

However, it must be very strong.

[kk: Well, we are fighting.]

[Sakura: So, do you like volleyball?]

[kk:...so-so.]

[Sakura: Eh?!]

Has someone finally appeared in her life who "plays volleyball but doesn't really like it"?

[kk: Why are you so surprised...]

[Sakura: Well... Actually, in reality, I also tried to get into volleyball]

[Sakura: The people around me who are related to this seem to be obsessed with volleyball]

[Sakura: I thought Little K was the same...]

[kk: Really.]

[kk: I don’t like it very much...but I don’t hate it either]

[kk: If you are playing volleyball with friends, you can give it a try.]

Want to "try it" with friends?

How should I put it, it's very kdzuken style...the kind that has no motivation, but is very tricky if you get serious at critical moments.

[Sakura: Yeah...me too.]

[kk:?]

[Sakura: I seem to like it a little bit, but not to the extent that I have to pursue it my whole life]

[Sakura: I’m very happy just playing with little K.]

After she said these words, kdzuken was silent for a long time, which almost made people worry that he was suffering from fever.

After a while, a message popped up again with the pixel cat avatar.

[kk:...I understand.]

[kk: However...I will still try my best to go to the national competition with Sakura...]

Huh.

Try your best? This person?

[Sakura:...Do you want to work hard for me?]

[kk: Because we are companions.]

Sakurai Hoshi was stunned.

It's obviously just an ordinary thing, but it's normal to have to do your best in order to enter the national competition...

but……!

This is the very unmotivated kdzuken!

[Sakura: Little K...]

[Sakura: I'm so happy]

[kk:...Sakura]

[Sakura: Yeah!]

[kk:…………Favorability, up.]

[Sakura:...Are you okay? Is your brain burned out?]

[kk: Maybe, a bit bad]

[kk: I feel like I will tell the truth when asked anything now...]

[Sakura: Really? Let me try it. Kdzuken-kun, what is your favorite food?]

[kk:apple pie.]

[Sakura: How old are you this year?]

[kk:15.]

[Sakura: What is the bank card password?]

[kk: I don’t remember because I have a fever]

[Sakura: It seems you can still think.]

[kk: Sakura’s question is also very interesting...]

[kk: Almost answered.]

...it must be a lie.

However, don't ask too sensitive questions afterwards...otherwise it will feel like you are taking advantage of others.

kdzuken seemed really uncomfortable. Halfway through the conversation, he started to complain incoherently.

[kk:Why does the ball fall]

[kk: If the ball falls, you will lose... I don’t want to lose, but I’m so tired]

[kk: Gravity is making me sick]

...I'm really confused.

But at this time, there is no need to refute him... just give him some coaxing.

[Sakura: Yes.

[Sakura: It’s all due to gravity.]

[kk:...Sakura, are you blaming gravity?]

[kk: stupid.]

[cherry:??]

[Sakura: Who is this because of?!]

[kk:It’s me.]

[kk: Very happy.]
