"Love Life Advice For Kazuya"

"Man, where did he take, or gift her that it costs a couple dozen billion yen?" Sheesh, that girl must be expensive, if I truly want my best friend Kazuya to have a good life, I need to check the girl.

Anyways, what do I do with the remaining time I have? Today's schedule is done after all. Continue with reviewing my previous posts? No, I don't think so.

How about I shop for some new manga to read and past time, some good old isekai genre ones. The ones I read before were interesting so far. So why not more?

And so, I shut down the pc as I dressed up and went downstairs, mom and dad were still not home from work, so I just whipped out a sticky note and smacked it to the table with reasonable reasons.

I changed shoes at the genkan and went out the house after locking the door and making sure I have the keys in the system inventory; I did have them in there.

I put my hands in my jacket for warmth, it was November, and the cold was starting to come alive. I roamed the streets with an excited smile upon my face as I explored.

Familiar buildings, street signs, different people with different height and stature. The abundance of anime, manga, and electronics available, just the casual streets of Akihabara.

I walked around aimlessly, well, not like I memorize all the ways around this paradise for people who like entertainment. Just casually checking out the manga and anime if anything was new.

I was currently checking out a store, and I stopped my steps as my eyes land on a novel book. "GDWAC?" I spoke aloud. I took the book from the shelf and read the summary.

It was… good, I was interested in reading it. I checked the price tag and found it to be buyable. Well, I have a few million yen just lying in my pocket, not to brag or anything.

"I totally am though." I smiled wryly as I exited the store with the novel held in my right hand. I continued to walk the streets back home as I felt a strange presence a couple meters behind me.

"I'll observe for now." I spoke to myself as I marched onwards, and the presence still followed me, all right, this might not be a coincidence. "No shit sherlock." I smiled.

I took a detour and entered an alleyway, to which the person, quickly followed into. I put on an invisibility spell on as the person following me walked in the alleyway and was immediately confused.

The stranger turned around as I undid the invisibility spell and made my presence known. "You know, it's very strange for a person to just follow a 6-year-old around."

The strange person turned around with alertness clear in their body language as I snapped my fingers. The strange person froze in their spot, what I did was simple. "Spirit-Speech."

"The ability to control mana at will is simply too OP, well, in my hands it is since I know how to use it in very wise ways." I spoke slowly. "For example, eviscerating you by stuffing you with too much mana."

"Oh, yes, that will surely pop you like a balloon with mana overload." I finished as the strange person showed a terrified expression. Until I noticed the person was familiar.

I took off his hat, his mask, his double mask, his scarf, his outer coat, his other things that concealed his identity, only the things that are necessary though, I can't strip someone naked.

"…Kazuya?" I spoke with confusion as I saw the person's face clearly, orange hair, I don't know? Average face, average height, average clothes, average haircut, average everything.

The person's eyes were giggling around, a very clear sign of him panicking, as if frantically telling me; "YES!!!!" Woah, dude, calm down, "You may speak." I said.

His mouth immediately burst out with indecipherable nonsense and panic. "Dude, calm down, I won't kill you or anything." I spoke. "U-uh… y-yeah?" Oh, my grass, chill dude.

"So, name?" "G-grand guild m-master, i-it's me, Kazuya!" the person answered. "Really, show me the vice guild master badge then." I inquired. I let go of the restrains as the person fumbled through his pocket.

He eventually found the badge and presented it in front of me. "Do you believe me now?" The person asked. "That is the real badge, it has a hint of my mana signature."

Confirmed, this person is Kazuya. "Yes, so why did you approach me creepily?" Kazuya let out a sigh of relief as he explained. "Well, I saw you, so I was about to say high."

"But the place was inappropriate, so all I did was just patiently following you to somewhere more less people possibly knowing your identity as the nationwide hyper-star."

I returned an equally relieved sigh, "I thought an S-rank gate popped or something. You scared me, Kazuya." Kazuya let out a soft chuckle. "No, I just wanted to greet you."

"Well, you already achieved your goal." I replied. "Actually, I might seek some additional advice from you." Kazuya added. "You should have said the first." I spoke.

I pulled out my phone as I texted mom that I was going back at 5 instead of four because of a friend, my parents return at 4:45 pm after all. I sent the message as I turned my attention back to him. "Okay,"

"So, here's my situation-" "Wait." I interrupted, "Let's not speak in a random stinky alleyway, how about a café?" Kazuya sighed as we went to a café. "Alright."

We entered a café nearby as I seated down. "Just order some milk or water for me, I ma not allowed to drink coffee yet." I spoke to Kazuya as he ordered, well, coffee and water.

He brought back the orders with him and sat down. He took a small sip of the hot coffee and started speaking. "So, here's my situation. You know mostly about it know."

"You know, I had hired a rental girlfriend almost half a year ago, mostly because I wanted to appease my dumped self, but my grandmother had taken a liking to her." I nodded my head.

"And so, I kept renting her, turns out, our grandparents are friends, and they had shipped us hard. But I know I was lying to my grandmother, so I wanted to end my rental on her."

"But then here comes this girl who is strangely in love with me, and wants to become my girlfriend, her feelings were also genuine. But here comes the problem,"

"My grandmother is too attached to my rental and breaking up with her out of the blue will most likely make her depressed, and I clearly don't want that. And I-…"

"I-… You already know about this, I fell in love with my rental girlfriend, although don't get it wrong, the other girl is as beautiful as my rental, I want someone else."

Kazuya held up his hands as he stared at them with an unknown expression. "I don't know what to do." He finished. I sighed to myself in exasperation, man, this is such a tiresome situation. "Let me see…" I examined the situation in my head.

"There are two ways with their own outcomes. You either let go of your personal feelings with your rental and build up a relationship between the new girlfriend candidate and your grandmother."

"The method is gradually changing the person whom your grandmother favours more. After that, we could safely un-rent your rental girlfriend and introduce the new candidate."

"Second option is to make your rental girlfriend, your real girlfriend. You firstly need to make sure she is also reciprocating your feeling for her, and then confess to her."

"Basically, you will need to make sure that she likes you back before you confess to her to become your real girlfriend. This method will make it so that neither of you are lying."

Kazuya got into a daze as I looked at him with very serious eyes. "So, which will you choose?" I spoke with an odd tone laced to my words; his decision will be vital in both plans.

"I will choose the later." I sighed at his answer, with relief? Disappointment? What many others? I don't know. But what I do know that this love-struck idiot will obviously choose the later.

"So then, let's start with all the specific details in how to proceed with the plan…" I continued.

*Flicker*

I sighed as I walked down the streets, "I hope my advice for him will be all right, I don't want to mess up anything for my loyal vice guild master. If anything,"

I looked up the sky to see the sun fading into the horizon, pinkish orange colour decorating the sky, it was beautiful to say the least. "It would be his fault if he messes up anything now that I told him what to do properly."

I opened a kit-kat and took a bite, "Well, *munches* I would just have to help him again if he does mess up. Friends always helps their friends, especially in times of need."
