Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki Vol. 8.5 (Light Novel)

Fumiya Tomozaki is a high school student and total social outcast who would rather be at home playing his favorite game, Attack Families, than dealing with real life, which he refers to as a “crap game” that has no clear-cut rules, no walkthrough to follow that leads to success, is totally imbalanced, and where nothing makes sense. Online, he is a top-tier gamer who goes by the handle “nanashi” and is always at the top of the leaderboards. However, his outlook on life begins to slowly change when he meets a classmate who is a gamer with as much skill as him.
Aoi Hinami leads the perfect life. She excels at everything she tries, from academics to sports and everything in between. To her, life is a winnable game, and she decides to help Fumiya get his life together by being his walkthrough guide and teaching him certain “exploits” in order to meet real-life goals. Can Aoi help this slacker gamer level up his life? Find out in this romantic comedy light novel by Yuki Yaku and Fly!
In Vol. 8.5, the school festival is over and it’s time for holiday festivities including a Christmas party, karaoke party, and more. But Fumiya becomes preoccupied when he sees Aoi and Fuuka secretly talking. Just what are they trying to hide?
