Episode 9: "High School Girl Player"
---
**10 minutes later.**
We arrived at a nearby coffee shop.
"Come on, take a seat."
"Uh, uh, okay."
We sat down.
As I looked at them again... Both of them are quite beautiful.
Uta is a classic beauty.
Her bob-cut brown hair is as fine as silk. Her blue eyes shine like sapphires.
She's about 165cm tall, with big breasts and a big butt. Both are quite large and have great style for a 16-year-old.
Even the black-haired girl is generally beautiful.
She is 195cm tall and has a large body.
Uta's breasts and buttocks are so huge that they look like the size of a child, and are as big as nuclear weapons. The eyes are drawn to her breasts and buttocks, but her stomach and other parts are also quite... dynamic in size. Especially around her stomach, which can be seen even under her uniform.
Her face is quite beautiful, but deep dark circles have formed under her eyes, giving her an unhealthy impression. Her slightly oily black hair is messy and reaches down to her waist, giving her a dark atmosphere.
"You, uh, are wearing the same uniform as us, right? Your tie is green, so, uh, you're a first-year student."
If you look closely, you can see that the black-haired high school girl has a red ribbon on her chest. So she's a sophomore, and she's a senior.
"First of all, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Izayoi Uta. And this is---"
"Ku, kuh, Kuronami Ameri. Yes! I-I'm one year your senior... She's my parent!"
"......huh?"
I am at a loss for words at the shocking statement.
I can understand that you're a senior, but what about your parent? She looks quite young...but does that mean she's a multiparous woman?
Well... it's not invisible.
For a high school student, she has big breasts.
She is an easy birth type and has a firm butt.
It's hard to tell over the uniform, but it doesn't look too loose around the stomach. Or rather, she has a plump, sloppy body.
If you ask me, she doesn't look like a multiparous woman.
I guess for some reason she's attending school with her child. She remembered reading erotic doujins with such settings in the past, so she understood instantly.
"...Maybe what you're thinking is different."
"F-fuhihi...huh, naughty eyes...fu-fuhihi..."
He gives me a stern look, Mr. Miss.
A suspected multiparous woman is laughing and smiling, Kuronami senior.
It wasn't like he was giving her a lewd look, but the fact that he was staring at her might have been interpreted as such. This was disrespectful.
"Do you know how to participate in Dungeon Survive?"
"Well, one way is for the app to be downloaded without permission. The other way is to have the person who owns the app issue a URL, and when you step on that URL, the app will be automatically downloaded... What was it? I-I remember it being these two."
"Oh, that's right!! Ah, this app doesn't exist in the app store, so those are the only two ways you can participate in Dungeon Survive!!"
I know because it was written in the description section.
"The latter method is to ask for the URL, but the person who originally owned the app is called the ``parent,'' and the person who was given the app is called the ``child.''
"Hey, hey, that's right."
"No, that's why I'm Utaha-chan's parent!!"
"She wasn't a multiparous woman."
My words made the two of them quiet.
Ah, this... I'm drawn to it.
"...Anyway, can I ask you something?"
"Oh, yes"
"...Are you a player?"
"Ah, yes."
"Tch, by the way, w-what grade are you?"
"This way."
I showed my smartphone to two people.

"E-class...same as Ogre."
"What's this level?"
"Huh? Huh, you're at a normal level?"
The two of them were shocked at my comment.
Then they looked at each other and twisted their faces.
Hey, I didn't mean to say anything weird.
"...I'll show you our status."

"yeah?"
When I saw the two smartphones on the desk, I couldn't help but twist my face. At first glance, it looks like the status is the same as mine, but the important level is not listed. What does this mean?
No matter what I do, I can't find the level, no matter what I do, even if I look directly at the screen so hard that it looks like a hole in it, or if I zoom in on the screen with my thumb and forefinger. I couldn't help but look at the two of them, and all three of them twisted their faces.
"Huh, maybe… other people are like that too?"
"I-maybe. If you look at the bulletin board, there are quite a few people who are angry that there is no level-up system."
"Oh, seriously...I'm the only one who can level up."
"What, that sounds like the title of a manga?"
I naturally thought that other players could also level up, but it seems like I was the only one who could level up. Thanks to a mysterious app, you can now challenge dungeons, but other players can't level up... That's bound to cause resentment and complaints.
In normal games, it is not uncommon for various systems to be added in major updates. However, it is unknown who is running this app, so it is unknown whether a level-up system will be added in the update. No matter how many complaints you make, there's a good chance it won't be updated.
"So, there are levels, so the more monsters you defeat, the stronger you become?"
"Ah, yes. That's right."
"What's that...Isn't it the strongest!!"
I thought this was normal, but apparently it wasn't. Even though I was able to dive into dungeons and acquire skills, I still don't get any benefit from defeating monsters...I feel a little bad about it.
"...Hey, would you like to team up with us?"
"Fart?"
"We've challenged the dungeon three times so far...but we've failed all of them. We've only been able to get through the tutorial dungeon."
"Well, we only have F-class skills. I-it's frustrating, but we're weak."
"...I see, that's why you want more fighting power. Huh"
It's not a bad proposition for me either.
I've been able to tackle dungeons solo so far, but who knows what'll happen in future dungeon runs. And even if I do want to form a party later on, my social skills probably won't allow me to quickly form or join one.
That's why if I miss this opportunity... I might miss the chance to form a party forever. That's why, even though I understand I should accept their proposal, there's still──
"...There's one condition."
I said, somewhat cheekily.
The two of them gulped nervously, waiting for my next words.
Deep breaths, deep breaths, deep breaths.
Summoning up my courage, I spoke.
"Be── friends with me."
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
"Be── friends with me."
A phrase I've uttered countless times in my fifteen years of life.
A phrase I've been rejected countless times in my fifteen years of life.
A phrase that has brought despair countless times in my fifteen years of life.
With courage, I uttered those words.
The time until I received their response felt unusually long. It felt like one of the longest moments in my fifteen years of life.
"Eh, yeah. That's fine?"
"I-If that's all right with you, then, um, it's totally fine?"
They both replied nonchalantly.
"Are you... really okay with this?"
"Y-Yes... But, are you sure it's okay?"
"Ah, y-yeah. I don't wish for anything more than that."
"Hehe, what a strange guy. Well then, negotiation complete."
Utaha-san said so and reached out her right hand. Following suit, Kuroba-senpai also extended her right hand.
"Nice to meet you, Shien!!"
"L-Let's do our best together!! Shien-kun!!"
I've made friends.
It happened so effortlessly, so quickly.
In an instant, fifteen years of anguish were resolved.
It feels like my heart has been cleared.
It's a comforting feeling, like something has been saved.
A feeling I've never experienced in my fifteen years of life.
Ah... It's a happy smile.
"Well, nice to meet you both!!"
I firmly grasped their hands.
