Chapter 5 - Chapter:5 Mom Wants Grandkids

Ginjo laughs at her guess while sticking his hands out in front of him.

"Hey, I'm doing the best I can to have him suppress his urges, okay. Give it time."

Ginjo's mother lets out another giggle as she places a hand on her cheek.

"Oh sweetie, That's what I like about you. You're willing to help out your brother and make sure he becomes mature in front of women. Maybe if you pull this off, your father and I can finally get double the grandchildren~"

Ginjo scratches the back of his head with a soft chuckle.

"Do you two wanna be young grandparents that badly? You've been scolding at us for a while about getting a girlfriend." he turns his eyes away shyly. "Mostly me."

"Oh come on, Ginjo," his mother pouted. "We want to be able to see our grandchildren graduate and have a good life ahead of them, even to the point where we can become great grandparents."

Ginjo couldn't help but smile at his mom's response. He then began to make his way up towards his room.

"Anyway, I better get to work on my homework. See you at dinner."

"Alright, dear. I'll let you know when it's ready."

Ginjo nods before saying: "Thank you, Mom." and made his way upstairs, leaving his mother to prepare dinner for him, and Issei when he gets back.

"Done, and done!"

After five minutes of working, Ginjo has finally finished up his homework for the night. He then reviewed the answers he's written down since he did work on the assignments rather fast and smirked when he got them all right.

Happy with his work, Ginjo stores the sheets in his bag and props it onto his desk.

While his room was tidy, it was what most people would expect for a boy's room. His walls were covered in posters of some of his characters from games, anime, and manga. His bookshelf had some of his favorite manga, light novels, games, and movies all organized from his least favorite to most favorite. So far, the only novels that Ginjo had in his shelves were the Dark Tower series and the original Halo novels. Being a rather huge Halo fan, most of the novels on his shelf were the Halo novels, including the first few Halo books ever released.

Ginjo's room also had a reasonably-sized plasma TV resting on the small table close to the wall; not too big, not too small. On the shelves of the table, he had a white Xbox One S, a standard PS4, and a Nintendo Switch stored in their individual shelves, with the bottom ones storing the controllers.

"Alright, now that that's out of the way."

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ginjo grabbed the remote for his Xbox and turned on his TV. Afterward, he booted up the console and got started on playing some classic Halo 3 via the Master Chief Collection.

The multiplayer mode for the game was Slayer. Ginjo was assigned to the blue team, making the red Spartans and elites his enemies in the game.

When the game started, his first priority was to find a submachine gun or two to replace his pistol with. These guns were Ginjo's favorite weapons in the game. The way they fired and how they were strong enough to take down a player's shields, especially when dual-wielding two SMGs, made it his weapon of choice when it comes to close combat.

As for ranged combat, he always goes for the Battle Rifle, replacing the Assault Rifle with it when he finds an SMG. He is fairly skilled with aiming for the head when he armed himself with the burst rifle.

Unfortunately, Ginjo couldn't find an SMG to equip, so he kept the Assault Rifle and replaced his pistol with a Battle Rifle as soon as he came across one. After getting it equipped, he got ready to mow down any red player he comes across in the game.

As Ginjo continued to travel around the map, he found a red spartan shooting at one of his teammates with a sniper rifle, not paying attention to the boy. Zooming in with his Battle Rifle, Ginjo aimed for the head and began to open fire.

The red spartan began moving around and turned to Ginjo's direction when he was being shot at, but his fate was already sealed. As Ginjo maneuvered left and right, he continued shooting at the player until he defeated him.

After reloading his Battle Rifle, Ginjo continued to fight the red players, some with his Battle Rifle, and some with his Assault Rifle. He was able to rack up five more kills before he finally got killed by a player via a shotgun blast. Ginjo's Spartan, who he customized to have a Mark V helmet, respawned five seconds later, putting him back in the game.

After three more minutes of playing Halo 3, Ginjo heard his phone buzz in his pocket. Since there were no enemies around his motion tracker, he dug into the pocket that stored his phone. Upon turning the screen on, he saw that it was a text from Issei. He touched the screen to open it and set it down next to him, positioned to where he can read the text while playing the game. After killing a few players with his Assault Rifle, he took a quick glance at his phone to read the text message he got from his brother.

"Dude, the best thing ever has just happened to me!"

Ginjo raised an eyebrow at the text. Usually, Issei never had anything happen to him to make it "the best thing ever". Just reading the text alone made him curious about what Issei meant by it.

After he scored seven kills, his character got killed by an elite who was dual-wielding Plasma Rifles. Ginjo used the time he had left before respawning to text him back.

"What happened?"

Ginjo then puts his phone down after typing, getting back to the game and scoring five kills with a brute shot.

"Killing spree!"
