My Wife in The Web Game is a Popular Idol (WN)

i-san through an online game.” (Kazuto)

“Really? How did that happen?” (Tachibana)

“The story is…….
Two years ago, I got married to Mizuki-san on an online game.” (Kazuto)

“”S-seriously!?”” (Tachibana, Saito)

 

Both of them were surprised harmoniously.

Well, it's a normal reaction.

 

“Hey Saito! What's the probability that one's wife in a game is a popular idol?” (Tachibana)

“Well, according to my calculations, it's about 30%.” (Saito)

“That's pretty high!” (Tachibana)

 

Tachibana and Saito made a lot of noise.

The classmates who were still in the classroom looked at us, wondering what was going on.

 

“Hey you guys, don't make a fuss.
If the others find out about this, we'll be in serious trouble.” (Kazuto)

“Huh? What's the trouble about? (Tachibana)

“It'll affect Mizuki-san's image.
And maybe, Mizuki-san will stop playing game if the public finds out about her hobby.” (Kazuto)

 

I was not sure, though.

I hadn't heard anything about it from her.

It was just a hunch I had as a long-time friend.

 

“…
I think it might be.
According to my calculations, there's a 99% chance that Mizuki-san's gaming hobby will cause a public stir.
And a lot of people will start playing games to meet Mizuki in the game.
It will definitely cause a grand commotion.” (Saito)

 

Whether it was a calculation or a prediction, but I think it's quite accurate.

At least it will definitely affect Mizuki's mental health.

 

“That's why, can you please not tell anyone about this?” (Kazuto)

“…”

 

I didn't know what they were thinking, but they kept their mouths shut and didn't say anything.

I was a little frustrated, so I continued my words.

 

“I want to protect Mizuki-san's place.
It's my selfish guess, but I think that the online game world is……the only world where she can play without worrying about the eyes around her.
Please, don't tell anyone.” (Kazuto)

 

I appealed to them with a seriousness that is unlike me.

The two looked at each other and put their hands on my shoulders.

 

“Ayanokouji…….
There's nothing to worry about.
Your feelings have been fully conveyed to me..” (Tachibana)

“Tachibana…….” (Kazuto)

 

Is this the power of friendship?

Tachibana, who had a sincere atmosphere, was looking straight at my eyes.

 

 

 

 

“――――So I'll let you have my bell peppers.” (Tachibana)

 

 

 

 

“We're a friend, but I'll tell you.
You'll taste some tasty pain, you know.” (Kazuto)

 

How can you blurt out a cringey joke like that to a friend who has been talking so seriously?

I felt the urge to kill him as if it was normal.

 

“Hahaha! I'm kidding, Ayanokouji! As for Mizuki's case, it's a secret between just the three of us!” (Tachibana)

“…” (Kazuto)

“I'm really sorry.
I'm scared when Ayanokouji, who is usually quiet, glares at me.” (Tachibana)

 

I gave Tachibana a look that was filled with murderous intent.

Tachibana's mouth twitched and he hid behind Saito.

 

“Well well, Ayanokouji-kun.
This is Tachibana-kun after all, so let's forgive him.
Ah, of course, I'll keep my promise as well, so don't worry.” (Saito)

“Haa~…
Okay then.” (Kazuto)

 

It's no use getting angry over it.

And I understand that they are not the kind of people who break their promises.

That's why I decided to tell them.

 

*Ping*.
A notification sounded from my smartphone.

 

I took it out of my pants pocket and checked the contents.

The sender is Rin.

[Would you like to play a game for a while tonight?] It was what was written there.

 

“Heee…”

 

Saito and Tachibana peeked into my smartphone from the side.

 

“W-what is it?” (Kazuto)

“Can we go too?” (Saito)

“Obviously the answer is a NO.
Mizuki-san maybe is innocent in the game, but she's a shy person in reality….
She's wary of everyone except those she's been allowed.” (Kazuto)

 

In fact, I've never seen her be friendly with anyone other than me.

Mizuki-san's social relationships in the online game can be described as somewhat exclusive.

 

“Somehow she's kind of like a cat…..
Well, if Ayanokouji-kun says so, it can't be helped then.
We'll shut our mouths.” (Saito)

“That's right.
I think I'll go back to playing online games for a while.
I might even be able to marry an idol!” (Tachibana)

 

The two talked to each other in a relaxed atmosphere.

With this, Mizuki-san's case seemed to be settled.

 

While I was hearing their conversation, I replied to Rin, [Okay, I'll be there around 9 pm.]

 

While I was looking forward to tonight, my heart was racing with uncontrollable nervousness.
