Short Story Collection: Chapter 1 – Karen Tendou and Masked Gamer

Today, she visited me, Karen Tendou (5th grade), in my room again, just as usual.

“Hey, hey! Here comes the Masked Gamer!”

“Hello, Sheena-san.”

“…I’m the Masked Gamer.”

“…Hello, Masked Gamer.”

“Hehe, well, hello, hello!”

This onee-san is always noisy.

I smiled at the magical girl mask-wearing pervert- no, the kind onee-san.

“Well, what we’re going to do today, Mafuyu-“

“Masked Gamer!”

“…Masked Gamer-san.”

It’s been one year since I started playing video games with this girl in my neighborhood.

Initially, our relationship is “a lonely genius and a kind onee-san.” Right now, it turned into “a dumb onee-san that self-proclaim as master of gaming and an innocent child that’s willing to play with her” ultimately.

She turned on a racing game and put a controller in front of me.

“Hehe, …I’ll not go easy on you, Karen-chan.”

“No, you never went easy on me-“

“Ah, Karen-chan, there’s a UFO outside!”

“Can’t you act more like an adult!?”

“Eh, hiya!? Crap, I can’t see the screen from the holes in my mask at all!”

“You deserved it, right!?”

Masked Gamer-san always ended up like this.

She’s immature, embarrassing, serious in gaming, and…

“Haha, I won again, Masked Gamer!”

“This pisses me off!”

…That’s why I sincerely love the time when I get to play video games with her.

“One more round, Karen-chan!”

“Alright, alright…”

“The mask is troublesome! I’ll throw it away!”

“Seriously!?”

So, I, Karen Tendou, was perhaps influenced by this Masked Gamer -Sheena-san. She taught me all this.

“I love video games.”

“I have to play seriously.”

“I shouldn’t be embarrassed (negative example).”
