“We managed to win, didn’t we?”

I said as I took off my headset.

“Yeah, I guess so. But we have to be more careful in the real thing.”

“Yeah”

We will be up against a group of experienced competitors, each of whom has won the qualifying rounds.

The tension and strategy they will be using will be more than double what we are using now.

“After concentrating so hard, I’m starving!　Do you want something to eat?”

“Sure, I’m hungry as well.”

It was 8 o’clock in the evening, just in time for dinner.

We moved to the living room.

“Do you want to order a pizza?”

“I’m fine, but is Rio okay?”

“Huh? Why?”

“Well, you’re a girl, so I don’t know if pizza is okay at this time of night.”

I was surprised to be presented with an option that Yuzuki would never have made.

“Oh, so you’re trying to tell me I’m fat?”

“No, I didn’t mean that!　Sorry.”

“It’s okay. I don’t get fat even if I eat. Besides,”

“And besides?”

“Wouldn’t it be more like a training camp if we ordered pizza or something?”

I am not sure what Rio’s image of a training camp is, but it seems to be that way.

“Well, shall we order?”

“Yes!　Can I have two medium-sized pizzas?”

“Two mediums are fine. I’ll take care of the toppings.”

“Okay.”

Rio is operating her phone.

“I ordered it!”

Rio looked up from her phone.

It will be a while before the pizza arrives.

Rio pours the drink she bought into a glass.

“Here’s Ryo’s coffee.”

“Thanks.”

We sit side by side on the living room sofa and sip our drinks.

The concentration is broken and we just relax.

“Ryo, do you have any problems with us right now?”

“Hmmm, let’s see… ……”

I think for a moment.

“Well, it might be that my fighting style is biased.”

It’s good to hone your strengths.

Everyone has their own style of fighting.

However, it is not good to stick to one pattern.

It is also easy for the opponent to read your moves.

Especially since we are broadcasting our games to the whole world via the Internet.

It’s not necessarily that they won’t see it, and if it were me, I would definitely see it.

“I’ve been thinking about that.”

‘I’m biased towards snipers and long-range, and I think Rio is biased towards mid-range. That’s fine for now, but we’d better have another fighting style ready when the time comes.”

“I agree with you.”

Until now, we have been winning because we have been able to work well together.

However, I don’t know how far it will go against the fiercest fighters of all time.

It is not to change the fighting style.

We are going to increase it.

“Then, next time, should we try to be more conscious of that area?”

“Let’s do that.”

While we were talking, the intercom rang to announce the arrival of the pizza.
