Love Fest!

- - -

Leaving the school, Hiroto explored a bit of his neighborhood, he found shops like Kosaka Bakery mentioned by the girls from before, he dropped by and bought some of their daifuku and manjuu, he tried it out and it was delicious. While munching his food he also walked past an interesting shop called 'Rabbit House', it was manned by a middle aged man and a cute blue haired little girl with a fat bunny on top of her head. 'She looks very cute and adorable, it's a cafe restaurant, maybe I'll try it in the future.' he thought. He walked past other interesting things in the neighborhood and was wondering how much of an Otaku his predecessor before since he didn't notice how active this city was, watching idols at the house while it's live nearby or just a bus distance, 'What's wrong with this person' he face-palmed internally.

Hiroto reached his cozy apartment house, he was already feeling settled and secured. As he opened the front door while saying "I'm back" in a low voice.

It was already around 2:30 pm not too late because the school was walking distance it only took him 20 mins. 'But Yasuo was probably angry, I'll call him for a bit.' Hiroto jokingly thought as he looked up at his status screen.

'Wow!, my SP went up, I don't know the cause of it though, but I think it had increased when I played a piano piece?' Hiroto thought while put up a contemplating expression. He would try exploring other ways to earn SP. Maybe he can gain more SP during the class?, 'I'll try it tomorrow, maybe reading some books in class will give me additional SP.' he thought while picking up the telephone on the wall. Actually his predecessor did not have a phone or get one since he thought, he already had his trusty computer and when he was in his middle school they were a member of the Go Home Club, Yasuo as well.

Hiroto called Takagi's family telephone number.

Ring Ring

Hiroto doesn't really know if Yasuo's already bought a phone he thought him and Yasuo's thinking are quite alike, as they are the type of person who goes using computer for hours. And thinking of Yasuo from his predecessor memories, Yasuo back then changed into a gloomy and depressed person during middle school, it was also at that time before he turned into a legit Otaku 'Did Yasuo overcome his trauma, he seems fine to me now or is he hiding something from me?' he thought while he was in person during the time the incident happened, the misfortune of falling in love with a gal with a rough personality. 'Pitiful guy, oh w-wait I'm pitiful too in my past life ha-ha..' he smiled awkwardly.

The one who answered the phone was Yasuo's mom, Mashiro Takagi.

"Hello, this is the Takagi Residence how may I help you?" Hiroto heard a m.a.t.u.r.e voice, and realized it was Yasuo's mom.

"Ah Mashiro-san, is Yasuo at home?" Hiroto plainly asked.

"Hiroto-kun? ah, Yasuo is here, wait for a bit." Mashiro-san yelled at the background, hearing a quick 'Im coming' response to her shout, she put the phone near as she followed up.

"It's been a while since I heard of you, are you doing fine? why don't you come here some time and have dinner with us, we just got back at the house.. You see, Yasuo turned a bit unsociable during his vacation at his grandmother's place, it's good to see him this active." Mashiro-san was happy seeing Yasuo happy aura just after he got home after school.

He knowingly thought, 'it was probably because he didn't have anything thing to do at his vacation, no internet maybe, that is detrimental for an Otaku,' having no internet means cutting his/her lifeline, any Otaku would probably want to die experiencing that.

"Sure thing Mashiro-san, I'm perfectly fine and healthy, I'll come visit the house when I have free time." Hiroto said while he smiled slightly, he followed up.

"Mashiro-san, can you remind Yasuo go to my residence?, we had a meetup scheduled as we haven't seen each other for awhile." Hiroto asked liked he was going to catch up with Yasuo in things. Mashiro-san smiles while she noticed Yasuo behind her, she spoke about what Hiroto's said then she walked to the kitchen seemingly glad. Yasuo trodden quickly outside their house.

After a short time Yasuo arrived at Hiroto's home and knock. After then the two went to catch up about their vacation since they haven't seen each other for a while, he heard Yasuo's w.h.i.n.e about his boring vacation while he also summarized what he did before.

Hiroto was having a good time since it was his first time talking with someone like this. As a lonely salary worker in his past life he didn't have time to socialize and it was 2x magnified due to his ACG venture.

Yasuo curiously asked about Hiroto's workout stuff, as right now Yasuo's was slightly interested as he was probably thinks that it can help him boost his masculinity and get dem girls.

Yasuo's look is just above normal person does but he's average on other things. In Yasuo's mind he was thinking of getting fit and strong, it that may help him get a girlfriend in the process as he thought of the changes Hiroto had.

Hiroto explain his changes by telling Yasuo it was with the help of the workout, a 3 month of workout made wonders to Hiroto, half truth half lies.

Seemingly as if he's going to burst out, Yasuo grabbed Hiroto shoulder interrupting him and he swayed Hiroto back and forth while speaking out loud. Yasuo felt like his vacation was wasted, he thought if Hiroto just tell him this, he might have a girlfriend in the present already.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier! you b-betrayer!" Yasuo being a kid felt aggrieved by his friends not telling him, Hiroto felt facepalming, he slapped Yasuo's back again making it 3 times this day. As Yasuo cried out "Ouch!, Again?", and quickly got away from him.

"Is your violent tendencies the side effect of being a riajuu like?." Yasuo asked while feeling the 'injustice-ness', feeling his sore shoulder while at the same time half believing that maybe it was true, seeing the transformed Hiroto there was no reason to refute.

Getting a girl with just being handsome. Yasuo was already believing to this line. Well it's an advantage but not entirely since wooing a girl would still based on the person's personality and dedication.

"No, for god damn sake!, and that's your fault, I could not contact you during the vacation." Hiroto said, knowing that Yasuo couldn't be contacted at that time and also he didn't know Yasuo's grandmother's telephone number. Hiroto thought it would be convenient to have a phone in the future.

"Listen, my Grandma's house didn't have a computer and I don't have a phone as well, F#$k, I was bored there everyday without anything to do, I could not even watch my favorite anime...." Yasuo said feeling the unfairness in the world, he followed.

"Huff, I just got back here yesterday, just because you got more fit and handsome doesn't mean you can neglect me, your friend." Yasuo expression can already become a emoji messenger plugin from his many facial expressions that keeps changing every second.

"Sign" Hiroto's felt helpless.

Yasuo and his predecessor grow up to be besties in their elementary up to middle school and thought Hiroto would considers this, he might as well help him in the future since he was one of the people who help him in his past, since he already considers this body as his, then he need to accept his identity.

"T-then tell me your regime" Yasuo said then realized something as he followingly said.

'Oh Yasuo, just hit the gym or something, it might be better for you since you have a good quality body.' Hiroto thought, Yasuo overall are ordinary but if trained, he might be better than your average people.

"You need to workout everyday, this was the basics of your 'would be workout plan'" Hiroto showed an angelic smile on his face, Yasuo feel the aura of his holy friend and felt like crying, he immediately changed his expression to crying to happy and then to determined one.

"Then, what do I need to do." Hiroto felt like he was giving a candy to a kid, he nodded at Yasuo while saying.

"I'll give a heath supplement/drink after a week or so it should help your body better." Hiroto made up jokingly, he would help this friend one time in the future, he just felt giving something to this friend of his (and his predecessor), of course he would just motivate and try to change his mindset so he would become a better person as currently Yasuo was a helpless one. Hiroto made a slight smile on the process. If he got something that can help an average person from the system then he wouldn't mind giving one to Yasuo, something like a push to make Yasuo move to his current trauma. (AN:just one time)

"My friend" Yasuo shouted while he felt hugging Hiroto, but was reciprocated by a slap on the back. Yasuo felt it was worth it.

Hiroto created the workout regime for Yasuo, an easy doable plan, it may give sore pains but not too much. He also added a diet plan for his food. Being healthy always had a benefit.

With the moment done, Yasuo goes back to his home while grinning as he holds a stack of papers that had a scheduled training plan while he happily hums as he walked away.

A month later Yasuo would have a big change to his looks and his personality with the help of Hiroto but that's a story for another time.
