## Summary

Momo organized for Akane and her to go on a group date. She wanted to introduce a man to be Akane's partner and another man who is presumed to be her partner too at that moment. Despite how the guy approaches Akane, she is too agitated and sidetracked with her phone to say anything, making their conversation awkward from start to finish.

Momo was upset about the outcome of their group date, though she passed it off in the aforementioned. Akane had been getting messages from Ruri-chan, which was the source of her distraction throughout the date. Momo asked if Ruri may have been a real guy, specifically a middle-aged man, and Akane had already given her her phone number. Although Akane, who appears to be disputing it as well, has just stated that she is somehow certain Ruri is a girl and that she is a high school student. While walking with Ruri, she noticed a girl wearing a cosplay outfit similar to Ruri-chan's character outfit, which reminded her of Ruri.

Akane had just returned home and was eager to play, having brought food and drinks with her. She's a little worried about herself because she's more excited about the game than a date. However, she winces as she's still unwilling to participate in romantic attachments to anyone. While exploring their guild, she noticed that Yamada and Ruri were the only online people. She was about to approach them when she realized they hadn't realized she was already online, and they were just casually conversing with each other in-game while looting.

Ruri and Yamada are nostalgic about their guild's previous situation, in which they did almost everything. Akane, who is currently just observing the two, had a passing thought that they might be a couple. Yamada and Ruri, who had only recently noticed her, invited her in to loot with them. Yamada, at that time, decides to leave the two due to his plans according to him. While only Akane and Ruri are online now, she had a flashback to her and Takuma's old relationship situation. Ruri and Yamada are exactly like the two of them back then. While thinking about it, she can't help but feel something inside she doesn't comprehend.

Ruri and Yamada, on the other hand, sent each other private messages. Its final message was from Yamada, who said, ‘See you later’ to Ruri.

## Author's Postcard

*“Thank you for reading chapter 7!
This time, I drew Minayama-sensei's Mikage-kun, who I had the pleasure of collaborating with!
Mikage-kun wa Kaeritai! and "Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru" (\*'w'\*)
It was a valuable experience for me because I don't usually draw other people's characters. It was fun.
This collaboration is based on the idea of "Dip into each other's manuscripts! With an image of Wally!" I was thinking of drawing a big picture in the afterword. So I thought I would draw Yamada big in the postscript, and to my surprise, Minayama-sensei drew him big in the postscript too! If you haven't seen it yet, please check it out.
Thank you Minayama-sensei!
I hope there will be another petit project like this.”*

*“Yamada's thoughts: Well, I mean, I want to play the game, and I could have ignored it.

I'm thinking of voting for "Yamada-kun to Lv999 no koi wo suru"

Mashiro thoughts: "But wow, I saw a lot of heart: -----"

Please vote for us.”*
