...Asuka's gaming skills are too poor, there's no need to tell her.

There's no point in talking to her.

"It's satisfying to defeat your opponent where they excel." Ryoma's tone was calm, but his words were arrogant.

Asuka immediately retorted, "Impossible. Ryoma could never beat me in my area of ​​expertise."

"Hey, well done, Asuka!" Nanjiro laughed heartily. "What are Asuka's specialties?"

"Learning, like archery, and things like that." Actually, there's also monster catching, but I won't reveal that.

Nanjiro nodded. "Indeed, that brat probably can't even compare to you in academics."

Ryoma didn't say anything and defeated the BOSS again.

As soon as Asuka appeared at the respawn point, she forgot all about the conversation she had just had and started playing with the controller.

"I absolutely won't get distracted this time!"

She swore it solemnly.

"Asuka, hang in there."

Ryoma's words left Asuka speechless.

She really wanted to get through this hurdle.

This time, Ryoma didn't leave Asuka behind alone. Instead, he followed closely behind her, dealing with the smaller monsters behind her while also relieving the pressure on the smaller monsters in front of her.

"Not bad, not bad, Ryoma has grown up. He knows how to value his friends now," Nanjiro praised.

"Singles is still more fun."

“That’s true, I haven’t played doubles much either.” Nanjiro suddenly became interested. “How about you and Asuka team up for a doubles match against me later?”

"Huh? Tennis can be played by two people?" came Asuka, who had never watched a tennis match before.

"Of course, doubles still depends a lot on the chemistry between the two partners; individual skill is secondary."

"Then Ryoma and I definitely can't do it, we don't have any chemistry." Asuka said honestly.

Nanjiro was not swayed by Asuka's words.

He patiently persuaded, "How will you know if you don't try? Doubles partners don't have much chemistry at the beginning."

"Even if we have a tacit understanding, I will never play tennis again."

Nanjiro was critically hit, and his HP decreased by 1000.

"Tennis is so much fun! Doesn't Asuka girl really intend to abandon her evil ways and embrace the light?"

"Hey, what do you mean by abandoning darkness for light? That's going too far. Kyudo would cry if he heard that."

Amused by Asuka's witty remarks, Ryoma was caught off guard and killed by the boss.

"Ah, Ryoma, how did you die?"

"This time, let Asuka-sama demonstrate what true game skills are!"

Because Asuka had been speaking familiar Japanese since coming to the Echizen family, her verbal tic inadvertently resurfaced.

Ryoma was captivated by Asuka's confident tone and actually began to feel a sense of anticipation.

"Ah, Ryoma, I'm dead too."

The screen went gray, and the two little figures returned to the respawn point of the previous level.

Ryoma fell silent.

Nanjiro also fell silent.

The birds also fell silent in sorrow.

"Let me think, if this were in the world of tennis, Ryoma would definitely say right now, 'You know what? If you can do it, don't say it out loud.'"

Nanjiro imitated Ryoma's tone very well.

"Ryoma is usually pretty cool."

"Yeah, yeah, Ryoma is usually so arrogant, especially when he plays tennis. Talking to him can drive you crazy."

"Today is a gentler day."

"It's clearly because those guys are all show-offs who just spout theories. No matter how we fight, I always win." Ryoma pouted.

Asuka gave a thumbs up, "That's so cool, Ryoma! Can you teach me how to be this cool?"

Asuka-sama would look absolutely stunning when he's all cocky!

“The bird returns to MADAMADADANEI.”

"Such a great verbal tic, I stole it!"

Ryoma: "..."

"Have you finished playing the little bird game?" Nanako came to their side, bent down, and asked gently.

"Huh?" Asuka looked up at her. "It's temporarily over. What did Nanako-neechan want to see me about?"

"I bought a new hair tie before, and I suddenly felt that it would be perfect for my little bird, so I found it."

Nanako smiled and said, "I feel that Asuka would look great with a high ponytail."
