Eh, the hell, the fuck is that this! I’m beginning to really feel scared right here! In fact I may simply flip round and take a look who was following me, but when it turned out that it was just a few random stranger, than this may be helluva awkward.

That may be merely insufferable. “Why is that this man me?” “Why is that this man following me?” To be subjected to such awkwardness proper on the very first day of college can be merely an excessive amount of to bear for the little previous me.

No matter ought to I do right here? Ought to I simply run away in hopes of shaking the bastard off? No, I can not do this. If I immediately break right into a mad sprint right here, it will be simultaneous with admitting to my stalker that I’m conscious of the truth that I’m being stalked. And who is aware of what may occur then?

It’s like the one method for me to win that is to begin working away, however truly beginning to run away would imply admitting defeat…… God rattling it, it’s solely the start of September, it’s method too early for me to be dragged into thoughts video games like that! And the truth that this recreation known as life is one thing you can’t sign off of was not serving to within the slightest!

「…… Ah, umm!!」

「!!??」

It spoke! No, wait a second! It was extra prefer it tried to speak to me! What the hell!? What’s it!? What’s it that you just’re after!?

Why would you attempt to make contact in this type of state of affairs!? Was it the truth that there was one thing on my again? Then in that case it was my responsibility as a real gentleman to behave accordingly, thank that somebody and chortle at my very own carelessness.

「Sure!? What seemeth to beest the issue!?」

「Ahh, umm…… You’re Hizutome-kun, proper?」

Turning round, as a substitute of a employed hitman that my mind was imagining, I’ve seen a younger woman about my age, carrying the uniform of the identical highschool as I used to be carrying.

「Ah, umm, Saiga… -san?」

「Y-Sure, that’s proper. H-Hizutome-kun, umm, ahh…… Summer season trip! It’s been some time!」

「Summer season…… Ah, oh, yeah, now that you just point out it.」

Ahh, now I see. That should have been the explanation why I used to be unsure who it was that was strolling behind me.

Not like that sooner or later throughout the Summer season when she was carrying that skinny one piece costume, Saiga-san proper now was carrying the summer season model of our highschool’s women’ uniform. She was additionally smiling fortunately together with her face barely flushed crimson, most likely due to the Summer season warmth that was nonetheless to be felt within the environment. Sure, that must be it.

Umu, I do know that it was in all probability impolite to assume that method about somebody, however proper about now after I have a look at Saiga-san I get a sense that she would make for a effective heroine in numerous completely different relationship sims. That’s how cute and trendy she was.

「Huh? Do you maybe reside someplace close-by, Saiga-san?」

「Eh? Umm, ahh…… I wished to vary my routine for a bit and I went to highschool completely different method, and, umm…… That’s after I seen you, Hizutome-kun…… Sure! It was utterly by chance!」

「I-I see……」

Properly, it will actually clarify an entire lot of issues. For instance: the truth that we occurred to stumble upon each other in entrance of that comfort retailer round my neighborhood. In order that should imply she lives someplace in that space as nicely, huh?

Nevertheless, the actual fact in regards to the whereabouts of Saiga-san’s home means little or no to me. Nearly as nothing as a recreation that I’ve little to little interest in.

Now then, the true query proper now’s: no matter ought to I do from right here? Ought to I name it quits right here and be on my method? Or ought to I make some try at small discuss, although I do know that it’d find yourself moderately poorly?

「However I need to say, summer season trip led to a flash and what have you learnt? It’s again to highschool already.」

「T-That’s true…… It’s actually is again to highschool already, that’s why……」

Properly, it will actually be good to have extra holidays out there to you, however such a factor is just not good in its personal proper. Due to that life would lose a few of its sharpness. No less than that’s my tackle it.

Actuality and video games are each fairly good so long as you bask in them moderately. Properly, there are methods on this world for one to reside by doing nothing moreover what one likes, however…… the one folks like that that come to my thoughts are these foregners and Natsume-san. Unusual, why would I take into consideration Silvia Goldberg right here?

「………」

「………」

Kuh, speak about awkward. Come on now, Saiga-san. Throw me some ball right here, give me one thing to work with! Don’t drive discovering the dialog matter all onto me!

If I had extra expertise in socializing with different folks, perhaps I might have the ability to give you dialog subjects like machine gun or perhaps a rail gun. Nevertheless, my sphere of curiosity are inclined to lie elsewhere, so relating to socializing my caliber is barely one thing much like an previous revolver. Fairly poor and ineffective at finest. However I need to attempt to give you one thing……!

「Ah…… Ahhhh, oh, yeah! That’s proper! Talking of which, do you play ShanFro, Saiga-san?」

「Fueah.」

「Fueah?」

「No, no, it’s nothing! Please! It’s nothing! Umm, sure. Sure, that’s appropriate! I’m enjoying ShanFro infrequently!」

Talking of which, the final time we met I’m positive we had been having the identical form of dialog, however we had been abruptly interrupted for some cause. However I’m positive it was actually about ShanFro.

And Saiga-san shook so immediately, in all probability as a result of the subject was modified so immediately in the direction of a online game. Additionally, the way in which her hair was gently swaying within the wind was actually cute and interesting.

「What sort of character do you play as, Saiga-san? A Healer?」

「N-No, umm…… A Warrior one……」

That’s shocking…… Though I’ve heard rumors that Saiga-san trains in kendo and martial arts, in order that type of expertise is unquestionably to turn out to be useful when enjoying warrior courses in video games. And seeing how Wezaemon was in battle, that sounds about proper.

「I see…… Do you play a lot?」

「Emm, nicely, umm…… Sure. I additionally…… belong to a guild……」

「Oooh? Have been you maybe invited by a member of the family?」

「Umm, sure, that’s proper……」

Enjoying along with your kin poses a risk of the truth that you play a sure recreation being leaked to the world, however if you happen to benefit from the recreation, you may obtain a degree of teamwork that random folks may solely dream of.

Pencilgton, Katsu and myself. We all know each other from completely different video games, however I can say that we’re moderately shut. Possibly not as shut as relations, however our teamwork is nothing to scoff at both.

That being mentioned, generally it seems that you just thought that enjoying with relations is perhaps a good suggestion, nevertheless it finally ends up being fairly a catastrophe as a substitute. Nevertheless, there is no such thing as a method of figuring out that beforehand, so what counts right here is the intention.

However that is going nicely to date. The dialog goes easily in the meanwhile, with none awkward silences and matter shifts.

「Apparently a brand new continent has been opened not too long ago. Do you assume you’d have the ability to problem it, Saiga-san?」

「I-I’m wondering…… There are a lot of sturdy gamers on the market…… So I’m not so positive……」

Actually, increasingly more ships are beginning to cruise over to the brand new continent, however relating to the middle of the playerbase, I’d say that it’s principally targeted round Thirdrema nonetheless. And the quantity of individuals refraining from going to the brand new continent ought to nonetheless be bigger than those that are prepared to go there straight away.

I additionally heard that gamers like Rei and her “Black Wolves” are but to enterprise to the brand new continent, seemingly out of consideration for different gamers.

「I imply yeah, not all the things on the present continent has been found but, so staying there doesn’t imply that will probably be boring by any means.」

In spite of everything, there are nonetheless Distinctive Monsters which can be ready for the gamers to take them on.

「Sure, I assume that, you’re proper. Fufufu……」

Now this can be a good signal. If somebody like me is ready to make somebody like Saiga-san chortle fortunately, I’d say it’s a job nicely carried out.

After which it occurs. A small cicada flies in between us, about to attract its final breath and switch right into a shell, although it could haven’t been in a position to go away any offspring behind.

It plunges down in the direction of the bottom in a splendid parabola. Nevertheless, there was one small element right here. Saiga-san was in its method.

If this was a recreation, perhaps she would have been in a position to do one thing about it. Nevertheless that is actual life, and your physique doesn’t possess the capability to reply as quick as your ideas.

I knew it was there as a result of I may see it in my line of sight. Nevertheless, Saiga-san was not so fortunate. And earlier than I may transfer my physique or react in any type of a method, that cicada managed to land on Saiga-san’s brow.

「Hyah.」

FLICK!

「Obuah!?」

「He? Ah, aaahhh!?」

I attempted to brush the cicada off Saiga-san’s brow, however earlier than I may react appropriety the cicada jumped from there and as a substitute settled on my physique.

To be extra exact, it landed on my cheek.

I didn’t count on that, not within the least. I don’t understand how Saiga-san managed to maintain her cool like that, however upon realizing what simply occurred I misplaced my stability and fell onto the bottom, this occasion turning into but yet another landmine that was masking this already treacherous minefield known as highway to highschool.

SHII, SHII, SHII, SHII, SHII, SHII, SHII, SHII, SHII, SHII!!

「Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!??」

Agh, the leg! The leg was twisted in a wierd path, one {that a} leg ought to by no means bend in the direction of an excessive amount of!! And that’s not all! The wings! Please simply spare the wings! It’s just about carried out with out them round!

「I-I’m so terribly sorry! I-I’m going that can assist you proper…… Kyah!?」

For poor Hizutome Rakuro-san, the very first reminiscence proper after the summer season trip was over was to be manhandled in a extremely nasty trend, similar to a cicada. It was a just about traumatizing expertise.

One factor’s for positive: Saiga Rei-san is extremely sturdy.
