Seia is bored.

"..."

That's because she's finished all her work.

One might ask, if she's finished today's work and is bored, why not start on tomorrow's? But...

"...!"
'I finished it all...!'

She's done that too. All the paperwork for the Tea Party for the entire month, no less.

Granted, it's only about three days' worth of work compared to the Gehenna Prefect Team's paperwork, but it's still a tremendous amount.

Having finished all that work in a flash, Seia truly, utterly has nothing to do.

"..."
'I'm boooored...'

Ultimately, with nothing left to do, Seia made a decision.

'Right. I guess I should find a new hobby.'

Whether Seia's original body liked reading books or not, Seia's current body absorbed the content of books strangely well.

'Maybe writing myself wouldn't be so bad...?'

Seia's thoughts reached that point.

Currently, Trinity doesn't have anything you could call an interesting novel.

Books here are either ancient texts from the old library or literary works.

But then, what should I write about...?

"...!"
'Ugh! I don't know...!'

Unfortunately, Seia, harboring the ambitious dream of becoming an author, hit the wall of creation.

In the end, the occupation of "author" was put on hold in Seia's mind.

"..."
'Then, what other hobbies are there...'

First of all, things like exercise or baking are absolutely out of the question with this body.

Seia's body, prone to collapsing with even the slightest movement, made any physical activity impossible.

A hobby that doesn't require much physical exertion and can be enjoyed with others...

"...!!"
'Ah?! There's one hobby that's perfect for me!'

Thump!—

Realizing something, Seia sprang out of bed and summoned a Tea Party attendant.

Ding!— Ding!— Dingdingdingding!!—

Tap-tap-tap!!—

"Yes, yes!! Coming!! What is it, Lady Seia?!!!"

The attendant rushed in the moment Seia rang the bell. Were they worried that Seia might have been hurt?

"Huff... Huff... I'm glad you're alright... What's the matter...?"

To the attendant, gasping for breath after running like mad, Seia presented a text message displayed on her phone.

-Buy me this!

On Seia's phone was a simple request to buy something and a picture of what that something was.

"... You called me this urgently for that?"

Nod-nod!—

The attendant's expression, as if finding this somewhat ridiculous, was quite something, but what can you do? If I say jump, they have to jump. I'm the senior member.

"Understood. I'll get it to you by today."

Accepting the reality swiftly, the attendant noted the contents of my phone in a notebook and left.

"...! ....!"
'Hehehe. I'm excited! I wonder what kind of games they have in Kivotos?'

What Seia ordered was a computer and a game console.

As the sky darkened and the moon rose, someone came to my room.

"Excuse me, Lady Seia? Could you open the door?"

"...?"

I was just getting ready for bed when I heard a voice from outside and sat up.

'Yaaawn... I was just about to sleep, who is it...'

Creak!— Click!—

"Ah, I was going to leave if you were sleeping, but thankfully you're awake. The computer and game console you requested have just arrived."

"...!"
'Huh?! R-really?! I ordered it this morning, and it's already here?'

The attendant, noticing the surprised expression on my face, chuckled and came into the room to set up the computer.

"Technically, I shouldn't come inside... but I know how to set up computers. It can be quite complicated if it's your first time, so I'll do it for you."

"..."

"By the way, Lady Seia, you who always read books, wanting to play games... I was quite surprised when I first heard. Lady Mika and Lady Nagisa also reacted with considerable surprise."

'Did you really have to tell them...?'

"If you're misunderstanding and think I told them on my own, I was just following orders."

A perfect rebuttal. I can't argue with that.

"There. Done with the setup. I'll take my leave now."

After neatly setting up the computer and bowing politely, the attendant added as they left the room,

"Oh, by the way, Lady Seia. Lady Mika and Lady Nagisa also bought game consoles after seeing you buy yours."

"...?"
'Wha, what? Why did Mika and Nagisa buy them...?'

It was a bit perplexing, but I decided to focus on the computer for now.

It wasn't something I could solve by worrying about it right away.

"...?"
'Why are all the games already installed...?'

Maybe because I said I wanted to play games, but my computer was like one from a PC cafe, with every game imaginable installed.

'Well, whatever. The more the merrier! Let's play some games!'

I didn't really feel like playing fighting games, rhythm games, or team games right now, so I went into the RPG section.

'Wow... There's even VR games, there's so many...'

Since I didn't recognize most of the games, I decided to just click on one that could be played on the computer and start playing.

And that turned out to be my worst decision.

'Tales Saga Chronicle? Is this an RPG too?'

Having every single game installed, while highly unlikely, sometimes poses this kind of problem.















"...!! ....?!!"
'W-what is this...?!'

<GAME OVER>

30 minutes into playing Tales Saga Chronicle.

Seia developed an overwhelming prejudice against games in Kivotos.

It seems like Seia won't be touching a keyboard and mouse for a while.
