CH 5.12

Yui and I were hunting down the beast players in every gesen. We’re no different from dojo breakers.

In the gaming world, people gather around the strong.

Even in the pre internet era, word about us spread in just half a month.

In addition to the fact that we were a couple who had never lost a game, Yui’s appearance itself made it impossible for us not to attract attention.

How could we not attract attention?

We tried to spread to those who we spoke with, “I heard there are some people who sell suspicious drugs. That’s scary. However, we are a little interested…”.

If it was too hard to find them, we’ll just ask others to find them.

「Whoah, you guys are strong. I haven’t heard of you until recently so, were you from another district?」

The man who approached us was a neatly dressed young man in his early to mid-twenties.

He was a fashionable guy with a silver bracelet on his left hand.

He seemed to be a very popular young man.

「You can say that desu.」

It is troublesome to tell the truth so let’s leave it like this.

「By the way, I heard you guys are interested in the rumored drugs.」

Got one!

No, it’s too early to rejoice.

This is not the first time I have talked to someone about this topic.

Naturally, everyone was just chatting.

If you get too enthusiastic at this point, it might start some strange rumors.

「It’s not that we’re that interested. We were just talking about the fact that there is such a thing. We were just wondering what it would be like if we try it.」

「Yeah, we shouldn’t touch those kinds of things but I heard that they’re legal.」

「I guess so.」

「I’d like to try it then.」

「If the rumors are true, that means you can get it, right?」

「That’s……」

The young man looked around deliberately and lowered his voice.

「I heard a rumor about a club where you can get the drug.」

「A club, is it?」

「You mean that kind of club….?」

Yui nodded.

No, I don’t think it’s the club you are thinking about.

「How about it? If you are worried about going to that kind of place alone, I don’t mind going with you.」

「We’re still in high school, you know?」

Except for the first day, we’re not wearing our school uniform when visiting gesens.

If we are wearing uniforms, they will be able to identify our school which will make things troublesome.

「Look, as long as you don’t drink alcohol, you’ll be fine.」

「Why us?」

There were a few adults in the gesen who were interested in the rumored drugs.

「Maybe because you guys have the most guts.」

Perhaps he was more discerning than I thought.

「Besides, it’s always a hit to bring a pretty girl like you. If you wear mature makeup, no one would notice.」

He winked at Yui.

I’ve never been to a club before.

It’s different from the cabarets and taverns I was forced to go to when I was in another world and the black company….

However, I’d be lying if I say I’m not interested.

「What’s the club’s name?」

「This one.」

The young man who introduced himself as Sugita handed me a piece of paper with the club’s address written on it.

「There seems to be a famous DJ this Friday as a guest. There is a rumor that the day the DJ is involved is the day they sell drugs. It’s called “TGIF”.」

「「Ancient slang!」」

Yui and my voice unintentionally harmonize.

This guy looks young but, is he actually an old guy….?
