## Synopsis

Although Akane really wanted to become friends with the members of their guild, she could sense that Eita’s younger sister, Runa, was putting some distance between them. She then receives an invitation from Runa to meet at a café, which makes Akane ecstatic. Little did she know this invitation was actually a prank Runa pulled on her, and the person who came to meet Akane at the café was actually a man and a complete stranger who is a self-proclaimed Rurihime fan. Akane excuses herself to the ladies’ room to organize her thoughts but…

Meanwhile, Yamada who was visiting the Sasaki household to tutor Runa notices her strange behavior and soon finds out about the prank that Runa had pulled on Akane.

## Introduction

Yamada was fiddling with his computer mouse when he received a call from Eita asking if he could tutor Eita's younger sister while waiting in line. Yamada was aware of Runa's plans with Akane, but agreed to the tutoring without hesitation. In addition to discussing the tutoring session, Eita brought up the manga he had previously requested from Yamada. After the call, Yamada reflected on Akane's positive reaction to a call from Runa during their last encounter while reviewing the date and time on his phone, which was Saturday, October 3rd, at 11:52 am.

## Plot

Akane arrived at the meeting spot where she was supposed to meet Runa, but found a strange man waiting for her instead. Runa messaged her that a situation had arisen and she would be late. The man-made Akane is uneasy, particularly in expressing his admiration for Eita's female character. He mistook Akane for Ruri and made her uncomfortable by commenting on her physical appearance. He even went so far as to follow her to the women's restroom, causing her to feel trapped.

Meanwhile, Yamada had arrived at Eita's house for a tutoring session with Runa, but was puzzled as to why he was having a session with her instead of being with Akane.

As Akane tried to figure out how to extricate herself from the situation, the man knocked on the door of the women's restroom and expressed concern for her well-being. When he attempted to force his way inside, Akane was frozen with fear.

After initially denying it, Runa eventually confessed that Akane had unwittingly agreed to meet a zealous supporter of her brother's in-game character. This prompted Yamada to postpone the tutoring and come to Akane's aid.

Eita used his account, which Runa had used to invite the stranger. At that exact moment, Takezo unexpectedly arrived, upset and concerned about Akane due to Eita's exaggerated remark about what had happened to her. The group obtained the exact location of the meeting and went there in Takezo's car. Runa, who was also in the car, indicated she did not want to apologize and appeared jealous of Akane's attention from the guild members. Eita explained that Akane just wanted to be friends with Runa, so she agreed to meet her.

When they arrived, they found Akane sitting with the stranger. Takezo immediately rushed to her and confronted the man, stating that he knew a lawyer and was unwilling to tolerate violence or threats. Meanwhile, Eita asked Akane if she was okay and noticed a bandage on her leg. The stranger explained that he gave her some medicine because he thought she was in pain, but Akane accidentally hurt herself due to her shock.

Yamada apologized to Akane for not informing her about his tutoring session with Runa, which explained why Runa could not meet her. Despite being close to them, Runa appeared upset and ran away from the group.

Akane reached out to Runa as she left but instead stumbled in front of Yamada, who was watching. Runa came back to ask if Akane was okay, surprising her. Before Runa could apologize, Eita interrupted and warned her that she would receive a lecture. Yamada, who had bent down to assist Akane, informed Runa that she had done something dangerous, which prevented him from helping her. Eita was about to confront Runa, but Akane suddenly claimed she had a stomach ache. Akane explained that the pain had moved from her legs to her stomach and requested a specific medicine from the top shelf, which a pharmacist had recommended, or else it would not work.

With the guys gone, Akane and Runa were alone. Akane initiated a conversation with Runa, asking about her level and proposing to go hunting together sometime if Runa was interested. Runa was surprised by Akane's friendly attitude towards her, as she expected Akane to be angry at her for leaving her to meet a stranger, causing Akane to consider quitting the guild. Nonetheless, Akane chose not to be upset with Runa and left the lecturing to Eita, as she had come intending to be Runa's friend.

Upon arriving at the meeting, Eita, Yamada, and Takezo brought the medicine that Akane had requested. To their surprise, they saw that Akane and Runa had already reconciled while Akane was comforting Runa, who was currently crying, and Takezo asked if Akane's stomach was feeling better. While watching the scene, Yamada was captivated by Akane's relieved smile directed at the three who had just arrived, as if everything had been resolved.

## Post-credit

Yamada was aware of the pre-arranged meeting between Akane and Eita's obsessive fan and asked her if she felt remorse. Akane admitted that she was a little agitated and unhappy about the situation, but her greater disappointment was that she didn't get to spend time with Runa. Yamada knew how much Akane looked forward to making friends with Runa, so he shared her frustration. However, Akane reassured him that she was skilled at making friends with girls and believed that she and Runa would eventually become friends. As they talked, Ruri's fan suddenly appeared and proposed to Akane. Still, she promptly told him to leave.

## Footnotes

 What Yamada was doing was adjusting his DPI. Pro gamers use low DPI (dots per inch) settings to improve their accuracy and precision in-game. A lower DPI means that the cursor on the screen moves slower for a given mouse movement. This allows players to make smaller, more precise movements with greater control, which can be especially important for first-person shooter games where accuracy is critical. Additionally, many pro gamers use larger mousepads and move their mouse with their arm instead of their wrist to further improve precision and reduce fatigue. Ultimately, the choice of DPI is a personal preference based on individual playstyle and comfort. Some players may opt for higher DPI settings depending on their preferences and the game they're playing.
