[The Two Meet by Chance]
“Ah, Sakurai-san, here. Here!” (Iris)
“Just what the hell were you doing?” (Higaki)
At night, the two who I meet up at the opera venue are dressed up in dresses for some reason.
Looking around, the place is crowded with women wearing colorful dresses such as red, blue and yellow, and even many of the men are wearing somewhat fashionable suits.
Iris is wearing a pure white dress with the back open wide, generously displaying her glistening brown skin.
Higaki, without her usual alice band, has her hair tied up and is wearing a soothing blue dress.
It could be said that both of them are dressed as gorgeous as actresses participating in a film festival, yet in contrast, I only came wearing a student’s formal suit, aka school uniform.
Although I couldn’t get rid of the out-of-place feeling, it is best to wear familiar clothes to hide things like weapons or such, and school uniform is acceptable in any occasion anyway.
“How should I put it, for only one person wearing a school uniform, it feels kind of out of place… wait, why are you tightly holding both of your sides.” (Higaki)
“Somehow, it feels like your body is one size bigger, however, why is that, I wonder, Sakurai-san?” (Iris)
“What are you hiding? Take them out.” (Higaki)
“Uwaa, that guy have a flower in each hand!”
Dammit, let go!! Tonight is a once in a lifetime do-or-die game for me, you know!!
I’m just getting ready because battle is inevitable, you know!!
Look, you two, I’ve brought your weapons that have also been bestowed (coated) with the ‘Transparent’ special characteristic, so take them, take them.
I never would have thought that there would be an alchemist who could bestow a rare special characteristic such as ‘Transparent’ at that kind of place.
In the original game, special characteristic ‘Transparent’ has an effect of increasing critical rate, however, to think that the weapons would actually become transparent in this world that has turned into reality, amazing.
Of course, if you equip it and make violent movement, the transparency will come off, but it will probably be dangerous if you don’t carry it, so don’t hesitate!
“What are you up to?” (Higaki)
“Nothing, I just know that something’s gonna happen, so I get ready for it. You two just have to defend yourselves, I’ll take care of the rest somehow.” (Sakurai)
“……What is going to happen?” (Iris)
Iris’s voice becomes lower and her gaze becomes tinged with seriousness.
Turning my head, Higaki is also giving me the same kind of gaze, as if to say she won’t budge if I don’t explain the situation.
“I’ve been curious about it since we were at the ‘Netherworld’. You have some unnatural knowledge and information for some reason.” (Higaki)
“Unnatural, you say, really?” (Sakurai)
“Why did a simple ordinary person know about the world after death? Even I didn’t know about it, isn’t it unnatural?” (Higaki)
Well, if you’ve played the original game, the existence of the ‘Netherworld’ or the likes would be just a basic knowledg-…… ahh, I see, speaking of which, this is reality, isn’t it? You’re too careless, Sakurai-kun!
Since Higaki’s gaze seemingly saying she wouldn’t tolerate such an idiotic attitude, I begin to ponder whether I should speak about the source of my knowledge.
Honestly, I don’t think they would believe even if I were to say it, so is there any meaning in telling them?
The original game heroine, ‘Higaki Ao’.
Additional content heroine, ‘Iris Niflheim’.
The former has been showing a twisted personality; she’s already so far apart from the original game character, and as for the latter, since she originated from the additional content, even if she doesn’t participate in the original game events, there would be no problem.
So, there won’t be any benefit to them even if I were to tell them the existence of the original game, and whether them knowing would affect the flow of the original…… since they are estranged from the main characters, I think it wouldn’t affect anything, honestly speaking.
Furthermore, for me who is thinking of making full use of the uproar that will occur from now on, something such as consideration for the flow of the original game story can go to hell.
Anything goes as long as I can get a comfortable leveling environment.
In short rather than continuing concealing about the original game and having them placing distrust in me, isn’t it better to tell them straight and laugh away, or so I think, however…… the contents being as is, it doesn’t feel like they’ll believe me.
However, the time for the start of the opera is getting close moment by moment. Rather than spending time worrying about it, it’s better to tell them honestly and leave the rest for later.
With that in mind, I decide to at least give them a warning for now,
“Well, even if I tell you… no, I can tell you, but you probably won’t believe it. And even if you know, it doesn’t mean anything to you guys, you know?” (Sakurai)
“Whether it means anything or not is up to me.” (Higaki)
“Well, I am not really sure what you are talking about, but…… If it’s something that Sakurai-san says, I will believe it for the time being, you know?” (Iris)
“I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but where did Iris’s favorable impression of me comes from? Isn’t it strangely high? Is that okay?” (Sakurai)
“Don’t try to divert the talk.” (Higaki)
Since Higaki’s tone begin to lower gradually, I give up and decide to explain about the source of my knowledge, the existence of the original game.
That said, there’s no way I can explain it in this place where there are a lot of people, and in the first place, this is the entrance of the opera where people coming in droves.
Because we will be getting in the way of the other passersby, I suggest moving to a slightly distant place for the time being.
“The place being as it is, let’s move somewhere else. And I’ll only explain it briefly and omit a lot of things, so please save the details for later, okay?” (Sakurai)
“Alright. Is that alley good?” (Higaki)
“Anywhere is fine as long as there’s no one else around.” (Sakurai)
“For some reason, going to a back alley in a dress is making my heart throbs a bit.” (Iris)
It’s a little hard to walk because Iris, who is saying out loud her thoughtless impression, locks her arm with mine.
Higaki, on the other hand, is walking while putting her arm around my waist as though so that I don’t escape.
So weird, even though I have flowers in both hands, but it feels like I’m a criminal.
“Wha! Hey!”
A voice calls out to such us from behind; we all look back, wondering what’s up—— and I get a little surprised seeing the person.
The one there is a young man stylishly dressed in a dark blue dress suit.
Although his hair is long enough to cover his eyebrows, some of his hair make an upward turn at the tips, going against the laws of physics, forming a hairstyle that should be called ‘righteous protagonist’.
Additionally, because he’s a character that will be the face of the game, under it is a handsome face that seemingly having an omnipresent ‘attractiveness’ packed in it.
If I have to describe him in a word, he’s an ‘ikemen’. A handsome young man like the one drawn in a painting.
And in fact, he is a lump of foul specs blessed by the world, possessing both suitability for all weapons and talents for them, and can learn all magics and combat techniques in this world.
He is the protagonist.
Amanai Hayato.
“You are… Sakurai Tōru, right?” (Amanai)
That world’s protagonist-sama was running here in a rush; now he’s breathing heavily, heaving his shoulders up and down.
He calls out to me, not Higaki, nor Iris.
Is the one come running from after him the original game childhood friend heroine, Akano Reika?
“I want to talk to you for a bit. Is that okay?” (Amanai)
Amanai Hayato takes light breath and smiles softly, saying so.
The appearance of the protagonist, who originally should have nothing to do with me, makes me wrinkle my eyebrows.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
