"Ah... Finally done,"
Renji leaned back in his chair as the game he had been playing for many years reached 100% cleranse, with all achievement and none of his waifus or people dying.
"Hm... there is still one final scene left. Is it my victory ccg or smt like that!?"
"I'll check that later,"
He stretched, feeling his stiff muscles craking. and shut down his computer.
"Guess I should go get some snaks ... Or at least a drink."
Without changing out of his t-shirt and sweatpants, Renji headed out. He slipped on his sneakers and stepped into the evening air.
The setting sun caught him by surprise. 
"... Wait... how long did i play this time!? Sigh... i need to stop playing that hard or my death will be on that chair." 
Renji walked towards the convenience store while his mind was still half in the game world. Halfway there, he noticed a woman standing on the sidewalk. Something about her made him stop and stare for a long time. Her golden hair seemed to shimmer in the fading light, and her eyes... there was something familiar about them... 'Heh!? is that elves ears!?'
The Woman came closer to him and before passing him, she said in a sweet voice, *Good luck Ash...*
Renji: "?_?"
Before Renji could process what was happening, she was gone. He blinked and rubbed his eyes
"Am I seeing things?" he mumbled to himself. "Ah... they say gaming for too long drives you crazy... i need to lessen them..."
After sighing helplessly, he continued to the store. In the brightly lit store, Renji grabbed an energy drink and paid without a word.
As he walked back to his apartment, he couldn't shake the strange encounter from his mind. 
Back in his room, Renji paused. His computer screen was still on, and the game was still running.
"That's weird," he said. "I thought I closed it."
*Thanks for Playing!*
As Renji looked at the screen showing a "congrats" message with fireworks, and a side note near the inbox, icon, 
"Hmm!? a gift for finishing the game!?"
[Congratulations, You have fulfilled the requirements to unlock *******  Would you like to proceed?]
Renji: "?_?"

Miyuki put down the needle and thread in her hand, and at the same time, the emerald green glow gradually faded from the cloak Miyuki had just been mending.


Opening the door, standing outside was a pink-haired woman holding a fruit basket.


"I wanted to give myself a day off today, and since I was passing by, I came to visit President. I'm not disturbing you, am I?" Lena looked at the blonde woman in home clothes across from her.


Upon hearing this, the blonde woman immediately puffed out her cheeks in mock anger.


"Lena, I'm upset! You're being too formal. There's no such thing as disturbing or not disturbing. You're always welcome here. And didn't I say, outside the company, just call me Yuki. Come on in quickly!"


The two mature women smiled at each other, then Miyuki took the fruit basket from Lena's hands. While inviting her into the house, she also grumbled a little reproachfully:
