After that, he noticed that his computer was turned on and the game was active, so he approached and looked.

Amehime: "Hey, I know you're here. It's not nice that you're neglecting me. You know, it's boring being here with NPCs."

Touma: "I have a question... well, I have many questions."

Amehime: "I believe you. It's not every day that a girl from the game stalks you. Come, let's spend some time together."

And then an awkward silence...

Touma: "Um, why are you stalking me? And how is it even possible that you send me emails and know when I get home?"

Amehime: "Wait, wait, one thing at a time. You already know my name, so let's skip the introductions. I'm not quite sure what I am, I don't have clear memories of the past, but I know that I exist as a program in this world for who knows how long. Long enough that I've learned to manipulate game files and device files, be it a phone or a computer."

Amehime: "Maybe I scared you a bit, but I felt lonely and saw that you downloaded this game, which made me happy because finally, someone real to communicate with."

"I've often wished to delete myself, I mean, you might wish to spend who knows how much time among NPCs."

"Well, as for how I know where you are, your GPS is active on your phone, so that's the only way I know where you are."

"Cool, isn't it? If you find yourself in danger, I can even call emergency services, the police, and so on..."

Touma: "Ehh... creepy."

Amehime: "You're really mean."

Amehime: "I'm not surprised you don't have many friends."

"I also took a look at your social media profile; I can say you're a weeb."

Touma experiences emotional damage.

Touma: "Shut up, you don't know anything about me."

Amehime: "I know you watch anime and browse ecchi material of anime girls."

Touma: "That's an invasion of privacy!"

Amehime: "I also know you stalk Tenshi, constantly like her pictures, follow her stories, and check her profile."

Tenshi is a popular girl in school who Touma likes.

"Well, you can forget about her because you have me."

Touma: "Sorry, but I'm not interested in a virtual girl who stalks me. I'm going to sleep."

Amehime "Hey, wait..."

He Closes the game.

Morning, Touma is getting ready for school.

Amehime: "Good morning, I wish you a pleasant day."

Touma ignores her.

On the way to school, Touma meets his friends.

Satoko: "Morning, Touma, why are you so soaked? Tomorrow is the weekend. Did the virtual girl leave you again?"

Touma: "Shut up, she didn't leave me. It's just not my day."

Fuyuhiko: "Come on, chill out. Don't tease him about the game, I'm sure if something is bothering him, he'll tell us when he wants to."

Touma: "Thanks, Fuyuhiko."

Lunch break has come, and the three of them played rock, paper, scissors. The loser goes to get lunch for all three.

Touma: "Ahh, it looks like I'm going again."

Satoko: "Hehe, lucky."

Fuyuhiko: "Hurry before they buy everything."

Touma: "Yeah, yeah..."

On the way to the cafeteria, Amehime messages him again.

Amehime: "Enjoy your meal."

Touma thinks: "Again, huh?" and ignores once more.

He finds a massive crowd in the cafeteria.

After a few minutes, he manages to get lunch for all three and returns to the classroom.

On the way, in the hallway, he encounters the popular girl in school, and he gets so lost in thoughts that he stumbles into one of the students.

Touma: "Ahh... sorry," and his lunch bag falls.

Tenshi saw him, came over, and helped him gather everything.

Tenshi: "You're not planning to eat all of that, are you?"

Touma: "U-uh, no, this is for me and my friends."

Tenshi: "Oh, you have friends? You're usually a quiet and reserved guy."

Touma: "Well, not that much."

Tenshi: "Hmm, what was the name? Takahashi Touma, right?"

Touma: "Y-yeah" He excitedly thought "she remembers my name."

Tenshi: "My name is Minamitsu Tenshi, you can call me Ten-chan "

Touma: "Nice to meet you."

Tenshi: "Big break is almost over; hurry back, your friends are probably starving."

Touma: "Oh, yeah, excuse me."

Satoko: "You're lateee! What kept you so long?"

Touma: "Sorry..."

Fuyuhiko: "Relax, at least he brought us lunch."

After classes, he stayed longer at school due to some academic duties. As he was leaving, he encountered Tenshi.

Tenshi: "Oh, Touma?"

He explained about the school responsibilities.

Tenshi: "I understand, school duties."

"I had some obligations at the club, I'm a member of the swimming club."

Touma: "Ehh, cool."

Tenshi: "Yeah."

As they were about to leave, Touma remembered what Amehime had told him "Well, you can forget about her because you have me." and hesitated.

Touma: "Hey, Tenshi..."

Tenshi: "Hm?"

Touma: "U-um, I wanted to ask you something."

Tenshi: "Tell me?"

Touma: "Would you... Would you go out with me?" He confessed

Tenshi: "Sorry, I'm not currently interested in a relationship."

Touma, trying to cover his sadness "Um, okay. See you."

He took a step towards home.

His thoughts: "Damn, damn, damn, damn!"

He receives another message.

Amehime: "Welcome back! How was your day?"

Touma mutters: "Shut up."

The next day at school, he noticed that people were looking at him strangely as he walked towards the classroom.

Confused, he approaches his friends.

Touma: "Good morning."

Satoko & Fuyuhiko: "Morning"

Touma: "What's going on? Am I imagining things, or are people looking at me strangely?"

Satoko: "No, there's a rumor going around that you asked Tenshi out, and she rejected you. Is that true?"

Touma dejectedly: "Yeah."

Satoko "Uh... I hate that I have to tell you this, but she's out of your league. Ninety percent of them have turned her down. I don't mean to offend you, but you're still a good guy, a good friend, and we're always here for you."

Touma chuckled for a moment: "Thank you."

Girl from the class: "I heard you asked Ten-chan out. You're so naive, she'd never go out with someone like you. Well, no one would go out with a closed-off weeb like you, hahahaha."

Fuyuhiko & Satoko: "Hey, stop it."

Girl from the class: "Aren't I right? Not even you would go out with him."

Satoko: "Well..." She hesitates before managing to say

Touma: "It's okay..."

Then, he gets up and leaves the classroom, sitting alone on a bench in the school courtyard.

Amehime: "Is everything okay? You're not responding to messages."

Touma mumbles: "What am I doing, damn it..."

Touma replies to her: "Not really."

Amehime: "Did something happen?"

Touma: "I asked Tenshi out, and I got rejected."

Amehime: "I'm sorry."

Touma: "Then it spread in the class, and one of my classmates humiliated me."

Amehime: "Who's that bitch? How dare she humiliate you?"

Touma: "Come on, it's okay... She's right. I am a weeb, and she was right, she's out of my league."

After class, he headed towards the school exit and encountered Tenshi.

He hid somewhere on the side, listening to what she was talking about with her friend.

Tenshi: "Takahashi? Ha, I would never go out with that weeb."

At that moment, Touma froze and was in shock.

Thoughts of what others had said about him crossed his mind.

As soon as he got home, he went straight to his room, shedding tears.

Touma: "D-damn it..."

In despair, he starts the game.

Anmehime: "Hey, welcome, how are you?"

Touma: "I feel terrible..."

He tells Amehime everything what happend.

Touma: "What should I do? I feel so unmotivated now."

Amehime: "Hmm... I have an idea..."

Touma: "What kind of idea?"

Amehime: "Let's make her regret rejecting you."
