## Synopsis

Yamada visits Akane’s apartment to help repair her laptop. After a certain experience he had, Yamada had been trying to get too close to women. However, for some reason, he just wasn’t able to take his eyes off of Akane taking an afternoon nap. He unthinkingly reaches out to touch her hair, but then he stops when he hears the doorbell ring.

When Yamada goes to check the front door, he finds Akane’s ex-boyfriend, Takuma, standing there. Shocked to see Yamada coming out of Akane’s room, Takuma explains his reason for his visit…

## Introduction

Due to Runa's teasing, Akane had accidentally leaned toward Yamada, accidentally causing a few strands of her hair to fall into his eyes. This unexpected gesture elicited a slight reaction from Yamada. In an attempt to assist him and remove the hair from his eyes, Akane unconsciously placed both hands on Yamada's face, creating an awkward moment as their faces were only inches apart. As Yamada gazed directly into Akane's eyes, a rush of emotions surged, stirring unfamiliar sensations. Feeling confused, Yamada decided it was best to excuse himself and return home promptly, as he claimed he had left some essential tools that he needed.

## Plot

Yamada quickly stopped at the nearby convenience store to purchase some beverages. Surprisingly, the store employee approached him and said he always buys the same drink. Just as he was about to leave, she stopped him and engaged in further conversation, mentioning that she was an alumna of Tousei Academy. She strongly desired to talk with him, leaving Yamada puzzled about why a convenience store employee would show such interest in him.

Upon returning to Akane's house, Yamada discovered both Akane and Runa peacefully sleeping, their mouths gaping open. Akane, who was sleeping on the floor, had prepared omelette rice on the table for him. Yamada then handled her laptop and the tools he bought carefully, ensuring not to disturb her slumber.

As Yamada observed Akane in her deep sleep, he was reminded of a previous incident involving them. Slowly, he unclipped her hair, causing it to cascade down. Holding onto the clip, he gazed at Akane, who remained unaware of his actions. Soon after, the doorbell rang, indicating the arrival of Takuma, Akane's ex-boyfriend, who stood on the other side of the closed door.

Takuma arrives at Akane's apartment, but instead of finding her, he is greeted by Yamada, who opens the door. Surprised by Yamada's presence, Takuma introduces himself as a big fan and expresses his curiosity about why he is at Akane's place. Gradually, Takuma starts to believe that Yamada might be Akane's new boyfriend. However, he has never seen Yamada posting pictures with any women on his social media accounts, which casts doubt on their relationship.

Carrying a paper bag, Takuma explains that he came to return the bento boxes Akane had given him. He admits to being concerned about her well-being after their breakup and wants to find solace in seeing her doing well. Yamada assures Takuma that Akane is doing fine and offers to let him see her for himself, but Takuma politely declines. He leaves the apartment complex and asks Yamada not to inform Akane about his visit.

As Takuma departs, Yamada remains by the doorway until Akane has awakened from the apartment. Yamada returns the bento boxes to her, claiming they mysteriously appeared. Akane giggles at Yamada's attempt to cover up what happened earlier and expresses her gratitude for handling the situation. Before she can leave, Yamada returns her hairpin and confesses that he had unclipped it from her hair while she was sleeping. He admits to having no particular reason for doing so and then receives a phone call from Eita, leaving Akane puzzled.

Akane, facing financial desperation, decides to apply for a part-time job at a convenience store. She confides in Momo about her situation and learns that Eita repaired her laptop free of charge, prompting Akane to express her desire to repay him financially. However, their conversation is cut short as Momo is engaged in a group date that doesn't turn out as expected, leaving her still not finding her soulmate.

Akane has just logged in and is greeted by Eita, who assumes the persona of Princess Ruri, and Kamota, known as "takezo", the sub-master of their guild. Akane approaches Princess Ruri to inquire about the cost of repairing her laptop, but Princess Ruri explains that the parts used were second-hand and provided without charge. To find a solution, takezo proposes involving Akane in their plan.

At the school premises, Yamada is disposing of some trash bags when he catches the attention of a group of freshmen girls observing him. In the meantime, Okamoto, one of his classmates, approaches him and extends an invitation to participate in a school pageant, an offer that Yamada has been declining. As they casually converse about a future gaming session, one of Yamada's classmates notifies him that his phone has been incessantly ringing. Upon returning to the classroom, he discovers that Tsubaki, one of his classmates, had placed a towel beneath his phone to muffle the sound. Yamada returns the towel and learns that Tsubaki had watched his FPS match stream the previous day, commenting on his underwhelming performance. She suggests that his lackluster performance might be due to his negligence in FPS, and he is now enjoying playing some MMO games. Yamada explains that the server for the match was overseas, resulting in lag, but Tsubaki dismisses it as an excuse.

While checking his phone, Yamada receives a guild announcement from Eita, notifying him that they will be attending Tousei Academy's public culture festival and instructing him to secure tickets. As Tsubaki engages in casual conversation, Yamada realizes that Akane is listed as the guild's "sponsor" among the attendees.

## Post-credit

Yamada installed an external GPU onto Akane's laptop, initially leaving her perplexed due to her lack of technical knowledge and the device's larger size compared to her laptop. However, when she tested it by clicking the mouse, she was amazed by the significant improvement in speed compared to its previous sluggishness. Akane expressed her gratitude to Yamada for enhancing her laptop's performance, although Yamada clarified that he had replaced some components using spare parts originally belonging to Eita. He patiently explained the technical terms to Akane, leading her to conclude that her laptop now housed an entirely upgraded system. With the explanation complete, Yamada prepared to leave Akane's apartment, and she sincerely thanked him. As Yamada departed, Akane was overcome with a sense of joy and satisfaction, appreciating that Yamada had finally resolved her PC issues.

Akane received an invitation from Ruri-chan and takezo to join a special "Welcome Back Akane" private event, where they would embark on a Dungeon Raid Tour. Although Akane initially felt nervous, takezo reassured her, emphasizing that there was no need to worry and that they would fully support her throughout the adventure. This gesture made Akane realize that Takezo was genuinely kind-hearted, both in the game and in real life, and she found his avatar to be an accurate reflection of him. As Ruri-chan cheered, their spirits lifted, and Akane consciously decided not to burden her guild master and sub-master with heavy responsibilities. As the three of them entered the dungeon, Akane was taken aback by the astonishing transformation of Takezo's minor character into something magnificent, prompting her to exclaim that he truly embodied the qualities of a demon god.
