"Silica-san! Get away from that ghost!!"

"You should! There's one coming from above!"

"EEEK!"

Lisbeth had to restrain herself from not blowing the entire progress she had made so far. Luckily she was able to dodge the ghost that was coming her path, allowing her to advance.

Asuna, who was sitting in front of the former pink-haired girl, greatly tried to concentrate as Shoji kept watch of if she wasn't making any wrong moves.

"There's one coming from behind babe!"

"I see it!"

Asuna almost yelled in response. One would say that Asuna was quite fanatic about the whole game they were playing, but no one would blame her. They could win prizes by completing the level they found themselves in after all.

The game that the four were playing, was PAC-MAN 2026.

Since this game only supports up to 3 players, Shoji was rather bored since he couldn't tag along with the gameplay Asuna, Silica and Lisbeth were enjoying themselves with.

But it wasn't quite necessary to pay attention to the game anymore. Just when Silica and Lisbeth were about to get eaten by a ghost, Asuna managed to get to the end of the level, awarding the three with points.

"All right! We cleared it!"

Silica waved her arms up high while Shoji bent over to congratulate everyone for their great efforts.

"You did it, Asuna! Nice assist, you two!"

"Oh hell no! I definitely was the MVP this match!"

Lisbeth yelled to Shoji as Asuna could only giggle in response.

"Oh my, that got us 100 points!"

"Ah, it says we also get a free cake! Lucky us!

Everyone cheered, ridding Shoji from his prior boredom. You couldn't exactly say that Shoji was 'bored', but he rather played something else other than Pac-Man.
