## Chapter Chronology

**"Can't anyone switch with you?"** (誰か代わりいないんですか?, *Dareka Kawariinain'desuka?*) is the twenty-seventh chapter of the *My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999*, written and illustrated by Mashiro.

This chapter also serves as the eighth chapter of the third Japanese tankobon (collected volume) release of the manga.

## Summary

After class, Yamada, Tsubaki, and Okamoto walk home together. Okamoto announces that he's hungry despite eating a hamburger before class, and he and Tsubaki notice that Yamada is on the phone. Okamoto asks if he is calling the unknown number from earlier, and Tsubaki goes silent.

Akane's phone rings, displaying Yamada's caller ID. She answers the phone, and Yamada apologizes for not answering earlier. Akane explains that Runa had given her his number and sneezes. She tells him that she had something to ask earlier, but she must now head to her part-time job because the manager could not contact the employee assigned to the night shift. Yamada suggests finding another stand-in, but Akane explains that no one else is available and that she is the most convenient since she lives nearby. Before ending the call, she apologizes for leaving so soon and promises to talk to him in-game.

While waiting for Okamoto outside of a restaurant chain, Tsubaki asks if the girl that Yamada was talking to earlier on the phone was the girl he was with during the cultural festival. Yamada confirms this, adding that she is in the same guild as them in *Forest Of Savior*. Tsubaki remarks that they are pretty close, and Yamada explains that it is because of their guildmaster, his senior back home. She then asks about Akane and what she is like. Yamada thinks to himself silently, noting Akane's ridiculous faces occasionally, and imagines her smiling at him. Tsubaki asks Yamada if he likes her, but he does not reply.

Having arrived at the convenience store, the manager thanks Akane for her hard work in place of his other employee's absence. She complains about the inconvenience but goes to work immediately, revealing that she wants to go to bed early because she is starting to feel sick. She drops her phone to the ground and notes how strange it is to have Yamada in her call history. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she suddenly thinks back to when she spoke with Momo about her feelings, reflecting on what she wants to do for herself before getting called for work.

Tsubaki logs into *Forest Of Savior* at home and joins the Chocolate Rabbit Guild.
