Chapter 16: 16

Miyamura Towa wants to hang out (Alone)

Our school finally came within sight.

I managed to burn a lot of calories dealing with Nodoka.

My gaze was down as I thought to myself but I raised my head up when I heard Eien-chan laughing.

.
.

“Fufufu, it seems Nodoka-chan likes you quite a bit isn’t she.”

“Y, You think so? I think she actually hates me though…….”

“She just wanted your attention, Hideyori-san. Cute isn’t she?”

.
.

Eien-chan continued laughing with [Fufufu.]

Is that really the case though?

.
.

“By the way, how are you doing with your father recently? Is everything alright?”

“Yes! I studied a lot with Hideyori-san and everyone so I’m actually doing even better at school now. I was blessed with good friends, he said.”

“You came first in our grade after all, Eien-chan. Sakuya was doing pretty bad last year but her grades jumped to the middle of the scoreboard now.”

.
.

She’s a hard worker.

.
.

Sakuya sure did her best last year, man, how it’s good to be young.

Speaking of Sakuya, it seems she hit it off with Nodoka and they are walking side by side and chatting with each other right now.

I can’t imagine what those two are possibly talking about so I tried listening in.

.
.

“Sakuya-senpai, where did you buy that coffee cup hair tie?”

“Master……, my father sells it at our coffee shop. I like it a lot so I have ten of these at home.”

“I see. So you have a stock full of it huh.”

.
.

I’ve never imagined that there would be someone who would take interest in Sakuya’s coffee cup hair tie after all this time.
.
.

“Sakuya’s hair tie stands out a lot, isn’t it. I think it looks very good on her.”

“Well….., it’s pretty much Sakuya’s trademark after all.”

.
.

Rather than that, the hair tie thing didn’t register in my mind at first because I was surprised at how Sakuya called Master her father this time…….

.
.

“I want to visit Sakuya-senpai’s shop!”

“Sure! Let’s go! My father will be happy too.”

“Aneja always says that the blended coffee there is very delicious.”

“That’s my father’s specialty you know!”

.
.

Again, I felt so off for Sakuya to call Master her father that the contents of their conversation didn’t register in my brain at all.

Sakuya, if you lose that quirk where you call your own father Master then the only thing you have left would be your hair tie you know…….

.
.

“Hearing them talk about that makes me want to go to a coffee shop too.”

“You don’t often visit one?”

“I only go to Master’s place about twice a month.”

“I see.”

“It would be nice if I can visit it with Hideyori-san again.”

“Le–……..”

.
.

I almost told her that we should go when we have free time.

I still remember how Emi, Risa, and Takeru barged into my room the other day when I opened StarChild’s letter.

.
.

If I give a vague reply here, next time it might be Eien-chan who barges into my room.

.
.

It would be too embarrassing if she found Galges and my Sawamura Yama collection in my room………

I can bear Emi, Risa, and Madoka shaming me but it would be too much for me if the diligent type like Eien-chan or Sakuya discover them.

.
.

“Alright, we will have to invite everyone and plan it together like last time then.”

“………do we really have to go with everyone……?”

“Eh?”

.
.

I was shocked by Eien-chan’s sudden sorrowful voice.

I think my heart stopped beating for a moment.

.
.

“Can it……not be…….just the two of us, like that day? I know that Hideyori-san sometimes goes out to play with Juumonji-kun or Emi alone……I want to hang out with Hideyori-san with just the two of us too.”

“Let’s do it.”

“Eh?”

“The two of us! Together! Let’s make a plan for everyone and just the two of us too!”

“……..Yes!”

My face is getting red just by seeing Eien-chan’s smile.

Seriously, it’s just like what the visual fan book said about her……

She really is the type that would make a virgin misunderstand her intention.

.
.

“Fufu, thank you! Hideyori-san.”

“Y, Yeah…….”

.
.

What a bewitching smile.

It makes me think that she might actually like someone like me.

.
.

But Eien-chan is supposed to be in love with Takeru.

She might have some motive in inviting me out alone.

Still, if Takeru doesn’t accrue enough favorability with her to enter her route and Eien-chan truly does not have any other motive then……

She might………

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

……………She might what?

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.

Maybe it was Master who she wanted to see.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Master said that children these days often fancy older people……….wait!?

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Is this MasterXTowa!?

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Certainly, Master is a handsome man.

Moreover, he looks young for his age.

I think he’s around 35 already but he can still totally pass as someone in his late twenties.

His mouth is so terrible that his daughter ended up inheriting it but he’s a very understanding guy who you can talk about anything with.

.
.

An older man can also provide stability.

Even if it’s pretty much always empty, he owns a coffee shop.

His wife has already passed away so he’s free.

He’s also pretty close to Eien-chan already.

.
.

On the other hand, Master often talks to me about things that he can’t tell his daughter.

.
.

She’s hoping that I can be a bridge between her and Master!

.
.

That’s it!

.
.

But he’s a widower with a child.

I never thought that he would be interested in a girl the same age as his daughter.

.
.

Still, I bear the burden of being Eien-chan’s fan.

She might think of me as a busybody but whether it be Takeru or Master, I will gladly become a bridge for her happiness.

I’m Akechi Hideyori, the Villainous Best Friend.

Villainous aside, I’m a Best Friend character.

.
.

In my previous life, I was influenced a lot by light novels and anime so I admire those heroes who hide their abilities and pretend to be a weak ordinary student.

Even at the kendo club, I hid my true ability and adjusted my strength according to my opponent.

.
.

I will step onto the stage once again.

On my name as the Demonic Actor Toyotomi Mitsuhide, I swear I’ll play any role, even a clown to bring Eien-chan her happiness.

.
.

“I’m looking forward to it, Eien-chan!”

“Yes!”

.
.

That said, it would be nice if it turned out to be something like a date.

Ever since I reincarnated, I’ve always thought about marrying my Oshi but after living in the body of Akechi Hideyori for nearly ten years, I finally face the reality.

.
.

It’s impossible for me……

I’m mentally almost 30 already. I can’t stay a child forever.

.
.

But looking at Takeru and Master still makes me feel kinda sad…….

This is unrelated to Eien-chan.

It’s not like me to feel jealous but I can still feel this ugly feeling swirling inside me.
