Taichi Nanao N: Stray Devil Blues

[mimosacafe]

“Role Study [Mark]”

Yuki: My win.
Citron: Yes! It is also my win~!
Taichi: Wha--t! I lost in daifugo* again…!
Kazunari: Don’t fret on it, Taicchan!
(phone chimes)
Kazunari: Hm? Something just ringed~
Taichi: It’s my phone! The notif must mean it’s meal time~
Kazunari: That’s “Akumaniac!”**, right!
Yuki: Kumon and the others have been playing that too. It’s a demon-raising game, isn’t it?
Citron: A demon-raising game, you say. It’s a game irresistible to elementary and middle school boys alike! It tickles the chuuni-heart***!
Taichi: Our next play’s theme is about demons, so I thought I would start this game as reference for my role.
But I’m actually really into it! Aa-chan seems to be playing it bit by bit too.
Kazunari: The visual design definitely looks elaborate, it’s pretty stylish!
Taichi: Sure is~
I’ve also been actively checking out this strategy site as well, so I’m really trying my best at it!
Citron: What name did you give to your demon, Taichi?
Taichi: Hehe, it’s Darkness WildSatan!
Kazunari: Wild! That sounds so strong!
Citron: Nice~! It feels quite different to Kumon’s demon.
Yuki: Well it’s just the name, isn’t it.
Taichi: Once the LP is all full, there’s lots of things you can access in the app.
Just wait and see, I’ll definitely raise a super strong demon!

Taichi: (groans)...
Omi: Hm? Playing that trending game?
Taichi: Yeah! But… It seems like I’m still nowhere close to achieving my ideal visual for it…
Relying on natural refills is difficult too… Maybe I should spend for it after all?
But then if I spend real money on it, then I’ll be….. No, but with this…!
Uuu….!!!!
Omi: Hahaha, do it in moderation, okay?

Itaru: I’m home.
Taichi: Itaru-san, welcome back!
Tsumugi: Welcome home.
Omi: You’re out early today.
Itaru: There’s a new scout distribution happening at midnight tonight, so I figured I’d prepare some money and metally prepare for it.
Taichi: As expected of a gamer’s mind!
Tsumugi: Speaking of which, Taichi, how’s it going with your demon?
Taichi: Ah! That reminds me, I haven’t logged in since yesterday!
Omi: Even though you’ve been so enthusiastic about it, you didn’t get to login today too?
Taichi: And I’ve been hard pressing to get the item I need to get stronger, too...
Itaru: Spending for it is an option too.
Taichi: Then I’ll do just that! 300yen!
Itaru: Just 300yen is enough for your satisfaction… I suddenly don’t believe you.
Tsumugi: But, having the ability to spend money on a game is pretty nice, isn’t it?
Taichi: Hehe!
Itaru: Urgh…!!
Both of you, your smiles and your words… It feels like I just got stabbed in the chest.
Omi: Ahaha...
