My Unique Skill [Gacha] Will Save the World - Episode 135: Rindou and Kyouka

Episode 135: Rindou and Kyouka

For a while, Rindou decided to take a break from his player activities. 

He was aware that, up until today, he had been running full speed as a player. But the main reason was that he wanted to watch over Kyouka. 

If Kyouka had remained a normal girl without awakening as a player, Rindou would have continued his activities without any change. 

However, Kyouka had awakened. And that too due to an external stimulus—an Elixir. 

Since her awakening was different from a typical player’s, Rindou decided to stay by her side. 

“Today! I’m going on a date with Onii-chan!” 

Right now, Rindou was walking through the busy downtown with Kyouka. 

He was walking slightly behind her. He was watching Kyouka as she looked around at various things. 

Then, Kyouka turned around with a beaming smile and called out to him. 

“Hurry up, Onii-chan! We’re right next to each other, come on!” 

“Is it really fun shopping with your older brother?” 

“Of course it’s fun! I’ve been looking forward to this for so long!” 

Rindou didn’t mind being treated like a wallet or a bag carrier. But when Kyouka said that with a smile, he couldn’t refuse. 

“…Alright.” 

“Yay! Ehehe!” 

Rindou moved to Kyouka’s side with a wry smile. But then she hugged his left arm with both of hers. 

“…Hey, this is honestly embarrassing for me, you know?” 

“Ehhh? If we’re close siblings, this kind of thing is normal!” 

“No, no, it’s definitely not!” 

Rindou tried to deny Kyouka’s argument and shake her off. But she was now a player too. 

It was hard to easily shake her off. Besides, he didn’t want to hurt her by trying too hard. 

“…Sigh. Fine, fine.” 

In the end, Rindou found himself walking through the busy downtown with Kyouka still hugging his left arm. 

“Ah! Onii-chan, look at that! It looks delicious!” 

“Alright, alright, let’s go.” 

Kyouka pulled his arm and said that. Rindou followed her without resistance. 

As they repeated their food tour, they eventually entered a department store. 

“…Wow. There are a lot of people!” 

“Well, it’s a department store, and it’s the weekend.” 

“Let’s go, Onii-chan!” 

Rindou thought to himself that it was tough trying to keep up with Kyouka. She was so full of energy. But considering that he hadn’t been able to do this before, he realized that this was a luxurious problem to have. 

(But from now on, I can always go shopping with Kyouka like this.) 

While thinking about this, Rindou watched as Kyouka eagerly bought whatever caught her eye. 

At first, Kyouka had said she wanted this and that. But after a while, seeing that Rindou wasn’t stopping her, she stared at his profile as he was paying. 

“…W-what’s wrong?” 

“Onii-chan, aren’t you spending too much money?” 

“You’re the one telling me that!?” 

Rindou hadn’t bought anything for himself. He was surprised that Kyouka was the one to caution him. 

“Well, I didn’t expect to be able to buy anything and everything like this. After all, Onii-chan only recently became a player.” 

“Ah… Yeah, I guess that’s true if you think about it.” 

It was only after Kyouka pointed it out that Rindou realized he hadn’t explained his player activities in detail to her. 

So, since it was around lunchtime, he made the following suggestion. 

“How about I talk about what kind of activities I’ve been involved in while we have lunch?” 

“Okay!” 

“Yeah. I haven’t told you much about it. And since you’re going to be a player too, there’s no harm in knowing.” 

“Yay!” 

Seeing how happy Kyouka was, Rindou took the shopping bags. They then headed towards the restaurant district together.
