Chapter 42 "A Girl who came from the world of Manga and Anime"
( Charlotte’s POV )
"Lotty, are you going shopping ?”
Emma walked up to me as I was getting dressed.
I bent my knees, aligned my eyes at Emma's level, and spoke to her with a smile.
"Yeah, that's right. I'm going to buy clothes to wear tomorrow. Let's buy new ones for Emma too. "
"Wow! New clothes!”
And afterall, she was happy to hear about buying new clothes.
( What kind of clothes should I buy her today? )
――I planned to choose some plain clothes for Emma. This was because If I left it to her, she may want to buy all the clothes, but the main reason was that she looked very cute no matter what she wore.
For example, if she dressed in white and pink outfit with frills, it would look as if an angel had come down.
On the other hand, if she wore a simple outfit based on black colour, the silver color of her hair will release the cuteness as if an angel had fallen down again.
In other words, no matter what she wore, she was cute like an angel.
( Emma hasn't been wearing clothes for going out these days, but if she gets dressed for going out, Aoyagi will surely be amused.
……wait.
I feel that it is a problem.
I’ll be the one feeling sad if he only pays attention to Emma.
Normally, he would be at least a little aware of me, but according to the information I got from a certain source (music teacher), Aoyagi-kun seems to be a lolicon.
At this rate, I may be ignored tomorrow.
I would really hate that. )
"Lotti, Lotti. how is this?”
"eh? ――! Oh cute ...! “
When I was lost in my thoughts, Emma, who had left my side before I knew it, tugged on the sleeve of my dress.
And there was a very cute angel -- no, a cat angel in front of me.
――Emma was dressed in a light blue-based fuzzy dress and was wearing a white miniskirt.
Not content with that, she also wore cat ears on her head, though I didn’t know why.
I didn’t remember buying cat ears, but it looked very cute so it was fine.
( But why did you dress for going out by yourself ?)
Normally she wouldn’t change her nightwear until I told her to.
"It's so cute, Emma. Besides, it's great that you changed your clothes without me telling you to do so.. "
"Yup! After all, I'm going to play with my brother!”
Emma smiled happily and said to me, and I realized that she was making a misunderstanding here.
Certainly Emma said yesterday that she wanted to play with Aoyagi-kun.
However, told her that it was no good because he already had plans.
Instead, We were supposed to play with Aoyagi-kun tomorrow, but she must have misheard our conversation.
( How did this child take when I was talking about going shopping ?
She knew that I was going shopping, so maybe she was planning to play with Aoyagi by herself, and leave me alone ?
And she was happy that I was going to buy new clothes for that reason ?
...... Apparently Emma grew up to be a devilish girl without my knowledge. )
―――――― Aside from the joke, this was a problem ...
Now Emma was eager to go play with Aoyagi, so I felt like she would start crying when she finds out that she can't play with Aoyagi..
There is a limit to how much she can be deceived ...
...... It couldn’t be helped.
I felt guilty about deceiving her, but I thought that I’ll take her out and buy some ice cream or cake and when she’s in a good mood, I'll speak honestly.
――After this, I managed to deceive and take Emma out.
◆
"... Who is it?”
When I succeeded in taking Emma out, I saw a black-haired girl standing in front of Aoyagi-kun's room.
I had never seen her here before and wondered if she was there for Aoyagi-kun.
"Is there any problem ?"
I called out the girl who stood in front of Aoyagi-kun's room.
If you are looking for him, I had to tell her that he is out.
"... I have something to do with the person living in this room, but it seems that he is out right now.."
Despite me suddenly speaking to her, the girl answered honestly in a calm manner.
Perhaps she saw us coming out of the next room just so she didn’t have any reaction and answered honestly to prove that she wasn't a suspicious person.
She had a soft demeanor and very elegant gestures.
Above all, she was the cutest girl I had ever met.
If someone told me that she just jumped out of the world of manga and anime, I might have believed it ...
The hairstyle was long straight hair with a beautiful and glossy black colour.
Despite being Japanese, her skin was as clear and white as us, and it seemed fresh and moisturized.
The face was a little young, but it looked like a young lady who seemed to appear in manga.
To be honest, as a woman myself, I felt a little jealous of her even though I met her for the first time.
"You have something to do with Aoyagi-kun?"
"That's right ... a light greeting ... but I don't think he’s here ... I hope he comes back soon ..."
She was probably younger than me, judging from her young face, but her calm demeanor and polite manner almost made me think she was older.
...... She was not my guest, but Aoyagi-kun's guest, so it was not good to pry too much.
However, if I pretended that I did not know him, She would have to wait for a long time.
( After all, Aoyagi-kun is on a date with Mr. Hanazawa …)
"Aoyagi-kun is out with his friends, so I don't think he will be able to come back for the time being. If you have any message, I can pass it on for you ...?"
I couldn't tell Aoyagi-kun's private matters to a person I met for the first time, and I faked a little.
"... Why do you know what Akito-san's doing right now ?"
For a moment-it was so trivial that I could have missed it if I had blinked, but I realized that she was staring at me with hostility in her eyes.
Perhaps she was suspicious because it was strange for neighbors to know what he was doing.
"I am Aoyagi-kun’s classmate and I heard he was going to play today."
"......Hey, you're on good terms, aren't you?"
The girl standing in front of me said to me with a smile, but for some reason I felt a chill in my body.
Perhaps her facial expression was fake and was the exact opposite of what she thought.
Emma also got scared and clinged to my body without speaking a word.
"By the way, do you know who he went with ?"
"Why are you asking me this?"
"It's a simple interest. I'll guess ,maybe he went out to play with a short, baby-faced girl with ponytail hair?"
“…………”
When she guessed so clearly, I didn't know how to answer.
Probably, I felt that a bad lie will be detected by her.
If that happened, she might have gotten angry about lying.
But I didn’t know if I could speak honestly.
I didn’t think it was necessary to hide it, but I could sense anger hidden in her words.
"Silence ...? In other words, it's an affirmation of what I said."
"No, I was trying to remember who he went to play with, but I'm sorry. I don't think I know the other party."
Since my silence was perceived as an affirmation, I tried to talk my way out of it.
"Fufu, you don't have to lie. When I talked about my expectations about whom Akito-san went to play with, you opened your eyes a little. It's like saying,'How do you know?'"
( It's amazing ...
Reading with my slight changes in facial expressions, she didn't really come out of the world of manga, right?
Who on earth is this child …)
"Thank you for telling me. It seems like it's a waste of time to wait here, so I'll come back later. I don't know when it will be next time though ..."
"Oh, yes ... Please be careful on your way home."
"Yes, thank you very much for your concern. Now if you'll excuse me, senpai…”
"eh……?"
She turned around when she called me "Senpai" at the end.
She wasn’t looking at me anymore and her back got smaller and smaller.
We are still in the first grade, so there shouldn't be any juniors...
( Who was she really?
Aoyagi-kun's younger sister-is she...?
No,The appearance is too different …
Then-is it an emergence of a rival again !?
Wait a minute!
Sure, I dream of going to the world of manga, but I don't want this kind of romantic comedy!
It's better to have no rivals, God!
And why are all the rivals such beautiful girls !?
Isn't there something wrong with the standards of this world? )
――I complained to God in my heart about the appearance of an unexpected rival.
I had more to say, but right now there was something I had to worry about more than that.
When the girl got some distance from me, She muttered in a small voice, "That thief cat is really an eyesore...".
Contrary to how cute she looked, she was a very scary person ...
I shuddered a little as I remembered the girl who had disappeared from my sight.
