Chapter 51: 12

Akechi Hideyori Attracts

After that, I met up with my usual group and greeted Yamamoto who was already in the classroom.

And, naturally, Yoru Hiru was also in our class.

.

She’s glaring at me but instead of me, Takeru is glaring back at her.

How did it end up like this…….?

.

Such was the opening act of the hardships-filled game.

.

Since it was just our first day, School ended early and everyone went home.

Except for Emi who lives next door, I’ve already parted ways with all my friends.

Currently, the two of us are walking down an unpopulated path.

.
.

“Our school sure was big wasn’t it…….”

“Yeah, and we have to take the train there every day too, it might be a little tiring…….”

.
.

I guess it’s a good thing that our house is not farther away from it huh.

In the game, it only takes about 3 clicks to get Takeru to go back and forth between the school and his place but I guess in real life there’s no such convenient thing like 3-click instant travel.
.

Yamamoto’s place is pretty far from the station too so he might even have it harder than us.

.
.

“Still, it was such a coincidence that we all ended up in the same class………”

“It almost feels like it’s the will of God, doesn’t it.”

.
.

In this case, it’s either the will of God or the game’s forced development at play here though…….

.

Leaving that aside, having Yoru in the same class is surely gonna give me a headache……

Well, she was a short-fused heroine in the first place but…..

Honestly, I don’t like Yoru that much……..

It’s not she herself that’s the problem though, it was her route that I can’t fully say I enjoy.

Even so, If I want things to be neatly tied up in the end, it would be better if Takeru gets into her route. That way, I will be saved as well……..

.
.
.
.

—-!?

.
.
.
.

“I’m sure our class will be li–……”

“EMI!?”

“Eh?”

.
.

I grabbed Emi and dragged her into my arms.

.
.

“Hi, Hi, Hideyori-kun! Y, You’re so forceful! I don’t mind it but…….”

“Emi, get away from here, quick!”

“…….Eh?”

“Look, we are being attacked.”

.
.

I feel blood dripping down my cheek.

It was just a scratch but it left a wound.

Something like a knife was thrown at Emi so I grabbed and covered her.

.
.

“Hideyori-kun, there’s blood……!?”

“I’m fine, hurry up and run home! I will do something about this.”

”E, Even if you say that………”

“It’s okay, I won’t die from this. I’ve been training under Tatsuyuki-san so I wouldn’t die when something like this happens right. Now, go!”

“-!? ………you definitely have to come home okay, Hideyori-kun.”

.
.

Emi looked at me with teary eyes and turned back.

This is fine. I will absolutely not let Emi die.

.
.

“…….And who are you!?”

“I’m a shinobi, a Reaper who hunts the Gifted.” (TLN: Shinobi AKA Ninja)

.
.

A woman with glossy long black hair made her appearance.

She wears tight fishnet tights, a skirt that exposes her thighs and is almost short enough for her underwear to be seen, and a revealing jacket that made me doubt why she bothers putting on clothes in the first place. To put it briefly, she’s wearing a very revealing kunoichi-ish outfit. (TLN: Kunoichi AKA female ninja)

Danzo-san from FGO

What game did you jump out from!? Was what I’d like to say but I remember that I’m living in a game world.

.
.

“Gift Hunter huh…….”

“I can sense the power of a strong Gift from you. I’ve been on your tail since you were at the school.”

“Haha, so I have a stalker now huh.”

“I’m not a stalker, I’m a shinobi!”

.
.

A blade flew at me from the shinobi’s direction even though she did not enter any throwing motion.

Since it was thrown at me in a straight line, I lower my stance and avoid it.

Seriously, today has been a disaster. Since when has my daily life shifted into battle manga?

.
.

“You dodged that huh. And the decision to let the girl run away first, that was worthy of applause. If we met under any other circumstance then I would have invited you out for tea.”

“Too bad for you, I’m a coffee person.”

.
.

It’s okay, Tatsuyuki-san is way stronger than her.

Compared to him, her attack was much slower.

That fact at least eases my mind.

.
.

“I’m Akechi Hideyori. What’s your name?”

“……..Uematsu Yurika. We’re in the same class.”

“My classmate…….? Judging from your name, our attendance number should be close…….. Still, I can’t recall your name or face at all. But, well……., you sure did leave an impression as a stalker though.”

“I’m not a stalker, I’m a shinobi.”

.
.

Uematsu Yurika?

No, she’s not a heroine……..

.

Uematsu?

Hmm, who’s it again? I get the feeling that I saw her name somewhere at the beginning of the game though…….

.

Think me, If I’m right then…….it was Risa who mentioned her right?

Yeah, I think Risa mentioned her name in the game.

Just a little more and I should remember it.

I think she’s a background character that doesn’t even have an illustration like StarChild though.

Uematsu, that name came out in that scammy trial version of the game huh.

.
.

“Come on, don’t just go Gift Hunting on someone in your class, Ms.Classmate.”

“I’m not a classmate, I’m a shinobi.”

“Fine, you’re a shinobi right! Whatever!”

“I’ll show you the secret of my technique. My Ice Blade Gift.”

“Ha?”

“Eat this!”

.
.

Three ice blades were fired at me.

I started running while reading their trajectories and closed in on Uematsu.

For a Gift Hunter, she sure is nonchalant about using her own Gift huh……..

.
.
.
.

—-Kill that woman.

.

.
.
.
.
.

“Ugh…….”

.
.

A noise echoed in my head.

My brain is telling me to [Kill the enemy].

.
.

“You……, Hideyori huh……”

.
.

Another me is speaking.

He’s telling me to kill that shinobi.

.
.

Kill……?

Ahh, I remember it now.

This girl was………

.
.
.

[[I heard the naked body of Uematsu-san from our class was found today………]]

.
.

It was Risa’s line to Takeru in the game.

It happened right after he met Yoru.

.
.

“…….!?”

“Get pierced by my ice and die!”

.
.

In other words, today’s the day she dies……

The moment I clearly remembered her, three more ice blades flew at me.
