John might inform that Rin felt she was simply appearing like regular. That the smile she was giving off proper now was an abnormal one.
But it surely clearly wasn’t. And but, she thought it was… which meant there was an entire slew of points there to unpack.
Nonetheless, he could not simply rip the lid off on that may of worms. This was one thing that referred to as for delicate operation.
Effectively, John might *technically* spin time again to cheat like he was save-scumming a visible novel.

John reached behind his chair to tug out a contemporary pitcher of lemonade. Grabbing Rin’s empty cup to refill it, he mentioned, “You are lastly realizing it now, huh?” He supplied to refilled cup again to Rin.
Rin took the cup after which nodded. “Yeah.” She sipped on her lemonade and mentioned, “I all the time thought being an idol was a strategy to make individuals such as you, so I labored actually laborious.” She laughed and mentioned, “It is bizarre although.” She fiddled with the cookie in her arms and mentioned, “I did not assume there could be so many individuals who favored me only for being me. I imply, ‘Hana’, however… .”

John quietly refilled his espresso after which sipped on his cup too.
A cushty silence stuffed the room. Rin sat there for a bit, fortunately consuming her cookies and sipping on her lemonade.
John did the identical, however on the within he was considering on how he wished to deal with this.
“Then…” Rin lowered her arms and fiddled with the hem of her shirt for a bit earlier than saying, “Why did you request me on the karaoke bar?”
“I did not.”
“Eh?” Rin tilted her head and mentioned, “However… You have been the shopper there, weren’t you?”
“Nope.” John laughed and mentioned, “If I used to be, Yue would have really tried to kill me as a substitute of simply sending me a mountain of unhealthy karma. Apart from, as a lot of a woman’s man I appear to be, the one lady in my coronary heart is my cute spouse.”
Rin frowned. “Then… Why have been you even there, Mister John?” She shifted in her seat and frowned. “In case you weren’t there as a buyer and did not request me… how have been you there ready for me? *Why* have been you there ready for me?”
John shrugged. “I do not want a cause to assist a woman who seems to be like her world is falling aside. And also you in all probability do not bear in mind it, however the panicked look in your face while you first ran into me was positively like that.”
Rin blinked and mentioned, “That is it?”
“Effectively.” John laughed and mentioned, “It was a bit egocentric too. I *did* simply purchase an idol firm. And mentioned idol firm did not have any idols on the time, so every thing labored out.”
Rin pursed her lips, misplaced in thought. After which she set free a deep sigh and mentioned, “You are too good, Mister John.”
John laughed and mentioned, “Individuals inform me that on a regular basis, Rin. Now… because you requested a query, can I ask one too?”
Rin nodded and mentioned, “Mmhm!”
“And I can ask about something?”
Rin hesitated for a bit. However then she nodded and mentioned, “Because it’s Mister John… Sure. You may ask me something.”
John nodded and mentioned, “Okay. Now, this would possibly sound a bit loopy, however I wished to examine one thing. So do not take it the incorrect method.”
Rin appeared a bit nervous, however she nodded and mentioned, “It is advantageous. I will not be mad, Mister John.”
“Alright. Now… you did not kill any of your classmates in highschool, did you? I am simply asking as a result of I wish to make certain however…”
John trailed off when he observed Rin flip pale.
“…Um. Rin?”
“…I did not ‘kill’ anybody.” Rin lowered her head and muttered, “It was an accident. They usually did not die. Simply… get harm a bit.”
Oh.
So it seems that Rin miiight be a yandere.
You understand, in hindsight, that explains so much…
