<h4>Short Story Collection: Chapter 1 – Karen Tendou and Masked Gamer</h4>


    Today, she visited me, Karen Tendou (5th grade), in my room again, just as usual.


    “Hey, hey! Herees the Masked Gamer!”


    “Hello, Sheena-san.”


    “…I’m the Masked Gamer.”


    “…Hello, Masked Gamer.”


    “Hehe, well, hello, hello!”


    This onee-san is always noisy.


    I smiled at the magical girl mask-wearing pervert- no, the kind onee-san.


    “Well, what we’re going to do today, Mafuyu-“


    “Masked Gamer!”


    “…Masked Gamer-san.”


    It’s been one year since I started ying video games with this girl in my neighborhood.


    Initially, our rtionship is “a lonely genius and a kind onee-san.” Right now, it turned into “a dumb onee-san that self-proim as master of gaming and an innocent child that’s willing to y with her” ultimately.


    She turned on a racing game and put a controller in front of me.


    “Hehe, …I’ll not go easy on you, Karen-chan.”


    “No, you never went easy on me-“


    “Ah, Karen-chan, there’s a UFO outside!”


    “Can’t you act more like an adult!?”


    “Eh, hiya!? Crap, I can’t see the screen from the holes in my mask at all!”


    “You deserved it, right!?”


    Masked Gamer-san always ended up like this.


    She’s immature, embarrassing, serious in gaming, and…


    “Haha, I won again, Masked Gamer!”


    “This pisses me off!”


    …That’s why I sincerely love the time when I get to y video games with her.


    “One more round, Karen-chan!”


    “Alright, alright…”


    “The mask is troublesome! I’ll throw it away!”


    “Seriously!?”


    So, I, Karen Tendou, was perhaps influenced by this Masked Gamer -Sheena-san. She taught me all this.


    “I love video games.”


    “I have to y seriously.”


    “I shouldn’t be embarrassed (negative example).”
