“Good afternoon, Risa. What a coincidence.”
When I was waiting for Akechi-kun in front of the station, I ran into Miyamura Towa-san.
What’s she doing today I wonder?
Her clothes are so stylish and well-coordinated that it looks like she’s going on a date.
I even wanted to ask her “Towa-san, you have a boyfriend?”.
I know that it’s not Akechi-kun though.
Nii-san said that she’s the closest to Akechi-kun’s taste and Emi-san also said that she would be a very formidable enemy.
Despite how she acts around Akechi-kun, perhaps she’s given up already.
She’s sneaking glances at her wristwatch.
………rather, why is she not getting to the train?
“Umm….., what are you doing here, Risa? I don’t see Juumonji-kun around though.”
“Nii-san said that he’s going to the coffee shop today. I’m waiting for someone.”
“Is that so? I was planning to meet someone here too.”
The silence was extremely awkward.
We chatted and played with each other before but meeting her coincidentally like this still made me feel that.
[Are you going on a date? Did you get a boyfriend?] was what I wanted to ask but I find it difficult to say.
Her face is all red and she’s keeping her gaze on her watch here!
I thought no one but Akechi-kun could bring that kind of expression out of Towa-san, to think that Towa-san would be like this…….
Is Akechi-kun still not here yet……..
“Mm? What a coincidence, are Towa and Risa going out today?”
“No……. we’re not together.”
“Sakuya-san too. Are you going out today?”
Sakuya-san stopped her feet.
I don’t know who Towa-san and Sakuya-san are meeting but what’s with this awkwardness?
Is it this awkward because we are friends?
It’s as awkward as the time when I barged into Akechi-kun’s room with Emi and saw him grinning while playing a dating sim all by himself.
“Ara? You guys, what a coincidence.”
“Hello, Sakuya-senpai, Towa-senpai, Risa-senpai!”
“Ah, my brother’s friends! Good afternoon.”
6 people gathered in front of the station.
Can such a coincidence actually exist?
“U, Uhh……, Madoka-san, what are you doing here today?”
“We’re meeting up with someone.”
The change in Towa-san and Sakuya-san’s gazes made this even more awkward now.
“Everyone……, should we say who we’re meeting here today at the same time?”
All of us open our mouths simultaneously.
Everyone said out loud the name of the person we planned to meet up with.
The awkwardness the 6 of us shared was unbearable…….
“We’re almost at the station you know? You’re not going to let go?”
“Ehh, isn’t it fine if we stay like this forever?”
Perhaps still angry about what I said earlier, Emi refused to let go.
Everyone is going to look at me thinking [Ugh……what a scumbag……] when we get there you know?
“People will think that you’re my girlfriend though?”
“You can introduce me as your girlfriend you know! Rather, please do it. Come on, Come on, Come on.”
“Are we talking parallel universe here?”
No good, Emi is too stubborn.
It doesn’t like she’s going to unlink her arms at all.
I have to use it on something stupid like this huh……..
I stopped channeling the power into my words to activate my Gift.
I could make her let go but even if it’s just on the surface, Emi seemed happy that she managed to tease me.
I really should tell her about my Gift someday huh…….
Just like Master and Tatsuyuki-san, she wouldn’t tell anyone about it.
Madoka also knows but that woman probably doesn’t care about it since she’s just enjoying her reincarnated life.
We’ve known each other for roughly 6 years but other than being my consultant, she’s not that helpful at all.
The problem is that I told Emi that my Gift is [Magic]…….
………..what’s [Magic] Gift in the first place?
Specifically, what can it do?
I hate how awful I was at adlibbing when I was a kid…..
Even so, I hate the feeling that everyone is drifting away from me because of my inability to tell them the truth………
“Ah! Everyone is already here, Hideyori-kun.”
Before I could gather my thoughts, it seems we’d already arrived.
“Sorry, everyone. It seems we’re late.”
When I called out, all of them turned around.
And the atmosphere felt pretty heavy for some reason………
TLN: Shuraba yeah yeah yeah…….
That will be for the next release though.
