“Role Study [Satan]”
Tsumugi: I think I’ll give my demon a snack...
Taichi: Oh, let me give mine too— Okay! Which one should I go with...
Tsumugi: How about I give a cookie for mine.
Taichi: Hehe, I heard about this demon-raising game from Itaru-san--
Since our play’s theme will be demons, I thought it was nice timing and started playing it. But it’s actually pretty interesting, I’m really into it!
Tsumugi-san, are you handling things well on your side?
Tsumugi: Mhhm, it’s thanks to everyone’s advice.
Izumi: Fufu, you two seem like you’re having fun.
Tasuku: It’s just a game, isn’t it...
Taichi: Don’t say that~! You should play together with us, Tasuku-san!
Tasuku: No thanks.
Tsumugi: But there’s actually quite a lot of stories behind these demons. I thought it’d a good reference for role studying.
Tasuku: ........
Izumi: (Tasuku-san is falling like easy prey again…)— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Tasuku: I’m back.
Azuma: Welcome back.
Kumon: Welcome baaack!
Guy: That looks like a pretty heavy package.
Azuma: What ever did you buy so much of?
Tasuku: Protein powder packs were on discount, so I’m hoarding while I could.
Kumon: Amazing! As expected of Tasuku-san!
Ah, that’s right! Tasuku-san, you started playing that game too, didn’t you?
Tasuku: Yeah… For role studying.
Kumon: I’m playing it too~! It’s interesting, isn’t it?
Guy: Is it that game where you raise demons? It seems that it’s becoming popular among MANKAI Company’s members.
Azuma: Fufu, perhaps Tasuku is considering joining the gamer’s group?
Tasuku: Your conclusion is all wrong.
Kumon: Speaking of,
“Akumaniac*” has a feature where you can do muscle training for your demon!
I’m currently collecting items for that very purpose!
After you give Satan some training, you combine these items and have it evolve into a more muscular form— it’ll be so cool!
Tasuku: Huh… So then, how do I go about getting the items?
Kumon: Let’s see, you can collect this item in this screen here—
Azuma: Fufu, seems like even within games, as long as it’s related to muscle training, he’ll be interested in it anyhow.
Guy: Seems so.

Tsumugi: I’m back.
Tasuku: Welcome back.
........
Tsumugi: (It’s rare to see Tasuku so glued to his phone… He must’ve gotten pretty into “Akumaniac” then, huh.)
(I wonder how he’s been raising his demon—)——— ?!?
Tasuku: Hm? What’s up?
Tsumugi: U-uhmm… Tasuku’s demon is incredibly buffed up, I see.
Tasuku: I heard about the training feature from Hyodo Jr.
While disciplining it, I was able to acquire the favored items for muscle training tasks and combine those. That’s how I got to this point.
Tsumugi: I… I see…
(Rather, it’s not really for his demon, but just Tasuku himself……)NOTES:
