Chapter 44: 5

Sasaki Emi won’t Let Go

“Ah, Towa-san.”

“Good afternoon, Risa. What a coincidence.”

“Yes.”

.

.

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.

.

Eh?

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.

.

.

“Please be here soon…….”

.

.

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?”

“I’m meeting someone.”

.

.

Sakuya-san stopped her feet.

.

.

“………”

“………”

“………”

.

.

This is super awkward.

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.

.

.

“Hideyori-san.”

“Hideyori!”

“Akechi-kun.”

“Hideyori-senpai!”

“Onii-chan!!”

.

.

.

.

Everyone said out loud the name of the person we planned to meet up with.

.

.

“………”

“………”

“………”

“………”

“………”

“………”

.

.

The awkwardness the 6 of us shared was unbearable…….

Why…….?

.

.

.

.

.

————–

“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?”

“HI-DE-YO-RI.”

“…………..”

“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.

Should I use my Gift?

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.”

“Yeah…….”

.

.

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.

Muhahahahahaha
