Bringing Neun-san to Kaori-sanās place has been something Iāve been considering for a while, but the bottleneck here is Neun-sanās identity as the First Hero.
Kaori-san lives in Friendship City, a place that literally has a statue of her, so thereās a possibility that Neun-san would be recognized if someone saw her face.
That said, if I were to convey this to Kaori-san firstā¦ā¦ This is a rather delicate issue though, making doing that quite challenging.
[Kaori-san is an ordinary person, so even though Neun-san said youāre not that good at Recognition Inhibition Magic, it would probably work against her.]
[I suppose so. I also have those magic tools that can change hairstyle and hair color, so if weāre there only for a short while, she probably wouldnāt realize my identity.]
[Yes, and so, in that stateā¦ā¦ please visit and actually see Kaori-san. I think Kaori-san is someone trustworthy, but I donāt know what kind of impression Neun-san will have of her, so Iāll leave that up to you to decide.]
Therefore, what I thought is to have her meet Kaori-san once, taking precautions like Recognition Inhibition Magic and such. Iāve also mentioned to Kaori-san that Iāll be bringing someone from another world, so I asked her to let us into the restaurant during her pre-opening hours.
And so, if Neun-san thinks that Kaori-san is a trustworthy person and that itās okay for her to reveal her identity, she can convey that herself, but otherwise, she can continue using Recognition Inhibition Magic.
[ā¦ā¦Well, Iām not that adamant about hiding my true identity, so even if Kaito-san had told her, there would have been no problem, but since you had thoughtfully considered this, Iāll gratefully accept this.]
[Yes. Well then, in that caseā¦ā¦ letās go.]
Even if I were to convey Neun-sanās true identity to Kaori-san, considering that the information about First Hero still existing was revealed during the Hydra Kingdomās Founding Festival, if rumors start spreading and it seems like it could cause a sirt, Alice or someone among her group might move to control the information.
Well, it would be best if Neun-san herself made her own judgment. If she does reveal her true identity, Kaori-san might be surprised, and for that, Iām truly apologeticā¦ā¦ but circumstances related to the First Hero are too delicate of a subject to discuss without permission, so I hope sheāll forgive me for this.
With this in mind, I teleported to Kaori-sanās restaurant, where I had made an appointment in advance using the Teleportation Magic Tool.
When I entered the restaurant, probably because I had told her about our visit beforehand, Kaori-san greeted us with a smile.
[Nice to meet you, Iām delighted to meet someone from the same homeworld. My name used to be Kujou Hikari when I was Japanese, but I now go by the name Neun. I look forward to getting to know you betterā¦ā¦]
[The same goesā¦ā¦ forā¦ā¦ meā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ Eh?]
And so, when Neun-sanās meeting with Kaori-san finally occurred, surprisingly, she immediately dispelled the helmet of her armor and greeted Kaori-san with her true, undisguised face. She even went on to reveal that she was Kujou Hikariā¦ā¦
When Kaori-san was stunned and I was astonished, Neun-san turned to me and lightly smiled.
[Sorry, I kinda brought all your concerns to naught. However, if sheās someone Kaito-san thinks as trustworthy, I would like to treat her with the same amount of trust, so I decided to inform upfront without all the conjectures.]
[Ah, so thatās how it isā¦ā¦ No, if Neun-sanās alright with it, I have no problem with it.]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Huehhh.]
[K- Kaori-san!? Are you alright!?]
I was happy to feel the deep trust from Neun-san, but muttering something, as if she was a doll that had her strings snapped, Kaori-san slumped to the floor.
[ā¦ā¦Iām not alrightā¦ā¦ This is that, isnāt it? In other words, this is all about that, right?]
[Yes, umm, Iām sorry for surprising you.]
[No, unn. I could understand your sideā¦ā¦ Given the flow of the conversation just now, and considering Iām not an idiot, I understand that conveying something like this wasnāt something that you could do so easily. As expected, I canāt blame Kaito-kun for thisā¦ā¦ I canāt blame you for this butā¦ā¦ GEEEEEEEZ! CAN YOU, LIKE, HOLD YOURSELF BACK!!!? HOW MANY BIG NAMES DO YOU THINK HAVE COME TO MY RESTAURANT IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS!? CAN YOU, LIKE, SPACE IT OUT A BIT MOREā¦ā¦ LIKE, GIVE ME SOME TIME TO REST OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW!!!? EVEN THOUGH MY HEAD CAN UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION HERE, YOU DO UNDERSTAND IT WONāT MAKE MY STOMACHACHE GO AWAY, RIGHT!!!?]
Seemingly understanding that the situation was unavoidable, but still wanted to complain bitterly, Kaori-sanās half-crying scream echoed through the store.
Serious-senpai: [Well, the circumstances around Neun, or rather, the First Hero are complicated, so she understands that Kaito canāt talk about it as he pleases. She understands that, but that doesnāt mean her stomachache will go awayā¦ā¦]
? ? ?: [Neun-san herself isnāt particularly adamant about hiding it, and even if her identity were to be revealed, sheās now under Kuro-sanās patronage, and Iāll also take measures to handle it, so it shouldnāt become a serious issueā¦ā¦ but knowing the impact her presence has on society, surpassing even the Six Kings and the Supreme Gods, she does understand Kaito-sanās concerns. Well, as a result though, it seems Kaori-san received a body blow, straight to her stomachā¦ā¦]
