I Still Prefer Old Yang in His Chuunibyou Phase

"So... we should accept Aventurine's proposal for cooperation first?"

Welt nodded. "That's the only way... The hidden dangers do exist, but we can only make further judgments after everyone's intentions become clear."

Hearing that, Little March 7th suddenly sighed.

"I understand the reasoning, but there are too many bad women here. I'm really worried we'll get stabbed in the back... Look how many times Stelle has already been bullied. I really can't stand it..."

Star Girl put her hands on her hips and smiled. "It's fine. Go ahead and bully me all you want~"

"You... No!" March 7th looked at Star Girl seriously. "This young lady can't accept that kind of reasoning!"

Star Girl's sudden playfulness eased the tense atmosphere.

The players smiled knowingly as well.

Even though this was only a game.

Even though they were merely viewing the story through Star Girl's perspective.

Still...

The atmosphere after Star Girl returned to The Crew was genuinely heartwarming.

When they first heard about what Star Girl had gone through, there was Himeko's gentle comfort and the concern of adorable Little March 7th...

It truly matched that saying.

Returning to the train really did feel like coming home.

"Forget it, I'll keep a close eye on him myself! If things really go wrong, we can just turn around and use him instead~"

"Then I'll leave it to Stelle to give Aventurine an answer. Everyone else should take this time to sort out your thoughts as well."

Star Girl nodded and took out her phone to send Aventurine a message.

Stelle: We accept your request for cooperation.

Aventurine: Not bad, not bad. That reply came faster than expected.

Aventurine: Now we're grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

Aventurine: Happy cooperation. Here's a little gift for good luck.
