Chapter 9
	He gripped the doorknob tightly, and gingerly opened the door —— …
Takaomi Shishimaru	…… Ah?
Senri Nito	Ah.
Takaomi & Senri	……
Senri Nito	… Alrighty! I’m just gonna pretend I didn’t see anything.
Takaomi Shishimaru	That’s my line, you shitty NEET. Don’t come into my room.
Senri Nito	Bzzt, wrooong! You can’t be a NEET if you’re a student, dummy~. And anyway, this is my room, soooo.
Takaomi Shishimaru	… Shut up.
Senri Nito	Oh! Wait, maybe this is a duplex! Wah~ there aren’t only public baths but a shower in the room, too! The closet is so spacious! The TV is huge! Mmm~! As expected of Shinonome. The student dorms are unbelievably fancy.
Takaomi Shishimaru	I said, shut up.
Senri Nito	Hey, have you checked out the second floor?
Takaomi Shishimaru	……
Senri Nito	Don’t ignore me~ Well, whatever. Operation: Second Floor Expedition! Here I go!
	With nimble footsteps, Senri began to climb the staircase.
Senri Nito	Now exitiiiing~~ the spiral staircaaaase~ GYAAAH—! Aren’t these beds way too close together!? Even though this place is so huge!? Why!?
	Turning the exact opposite way from where he came up, he returned with heavy footsteps—
Senri Nito	Hey, help me move the beds!
Takaomi Shishimaru	…You can’t. It’s bound to the floor with some kinda special technology.
Senri Nito	Eh… could it be… you already tried?
Takaomi Shishimaru	……
Senri Nito	Ah—… I see. Nnnnnnnnngh… …Well! From now on we’re roommates, so let’s get along, okay? Did you put up that curtain? I really like that style~ You have good design sense!
Takaomi Shishimaru	Haa? Your boxes are in the fucking way, so hurry up and get unpacked.
Senri Nito	…. O God, please tell me, just what did I do to anger you? Well, I guess I should get unpacking…
Takaomi Shishimaru	Hey, watch out. Don’t step on that thing over there.
Senri Nito	I get it, I get i—
Senri Nito	(——Wait, isn’t that the rare, super hard-to-get COLOstation VR!? A.K.A. the COLOVR!?) (You could only order one with a special ticket distributed by lottery, and I ended up having to keep myself from clicking “Order” on it at resale price so many times… gh!) (But then this guy…) (But I have something, too!)
Takaomi Shishimaru	Ugh… hey, get your trash out of my space— !?
Senri Nito	Ah, oopsie, my bad~ Precision machinery really does have to be strictly packed in lots of protective cushioning, see. Ahaha.
Takaomi Shishimaru	(The thing this guy just took out of the box… isn’t that the COLOnybox…) (It sold out around the world at the same time it released, and even now on every restocking day I go to the appliance store early in the morning, hoping for a miracle, and yet nothing…!)
Senri Nito	Hmhmh~m~ ♪
Takaomi Shishimaru	(I’m gonna ffffffffffuckin’ kill him…) Hey, move that… shitty garbage toy out of the way. I’m putting these there.
Senri Nito	(Wha…!? So many games… there’s like 50… no, more like 100!) (Not only that, but the one on top is the game released at the dawn of the COLOstation, which defined an entire era of gaming…!) (An impossible-to-get rare game worth 100,000 yen!!)
Takaomi Shishimaru	Heh.
Senri Nito	(Kuh… I won’t lose!!)
Takaomi Shishimaru	(Wha…!? He built a game tower with about as many games as my collection…!?) (Not only that, but the thing he put on top is the COLOnybox edition of the game you can’t even buy a physical copy of anymore, still in its sealed plastic, “Elven Adventure”!!) (If he plays it in here and spoils it for me, I’m seriously gonna fuckin’ kill him…)
Senri Nito	What a pickle~ I have sooo much luggage, too~
Takaomi & Senri	…………
Takaomi Shishimaru	… The location of the beds is shit, but in this room, there’s one good place.
Senri Nito	I was thinking the same thing. If you’re gonna game, there’s no other place than on that big TV, right?
Takaomi Shishimaru	BRING IT ON!!!
Senri Nito	UUOOHHH SECRET ART! INSTANT PLUG-IN—!
