Chapter 158 Ichijouji Reinas Daily Life eight

Reina! Mai shouted as soon as I left the mansion grounds. She and Yuuki seemed to be waiting for me in front of the mansions gates That was quite surprising, Do you wanna walk to school together? She asked.

I dont mind it. I answered. Immediately after I said that, she quickly moved to my side and hugged my arm as we started walking.

After a small while of silence though, Mai said, Uhn Reina.

What is it? I asked her.

Well Is anything troubling you? She asked back.

Were you worrying about me? I asked her while stroking her head. I wonder if I was behaving in a suspicious way these days? Or perhaps She noticed something when we met up with the twins online? Its not impossible

Mai made some strange noises instead of answering my question, so I figured Id answer hers, Well, right now things are Never mind that, she looks really strange right now, Are you okay? I ended up cutting my reply short to ask that.

E-eh!? She replied while making a very weird expression. She seemed to be kinda out of it, so I stopped stroking her head in order to look at her properly She kept on staring at my hand that left her head just now, whats happening here? Is she too sleepy or something? I-I-I-I-Im okay! No problems here! She then said.

I see? Was my reply. It was a bit obvious that she was hiding something though, and she kept on staring at my hand Maybe she didnt like me caressing her head much?

Then, Yuuki suddenly started laughing, What are you laughing at, Oda!? Mai shouted at him.

Well, its just He tried replying, but he couldnt stop laughing, so he couldnt make a coherent sentence.

Stop laughing! Mai screamed. Seems like their usual shenanigans are starting again. The day has barely started and were already going through this ordinary event. Its not a bad feeling.

B-but your expression is so Yuuki tried to say something, but he still couldnt stop laughing, so he was unable to finish it.

Its not that weird! Mai shouted at him.

Yeah, no, not, just Well, try not showing it to other people much? Yuuki managed to finish his sentence this time And then he also used his hands to pull his cheeks and make a weird expression of his own.

You little Ill show you! Mai then started trying to grab his hands to make him stop with the strange expression, but he wasnt letting her get too close, so she wasnt able to get rid of his grimace His height advantage must be really troubling Mai right now.

Im feeling sorry for you, so Ill give you some milk on lunch break to compensate. Yuu told her while holding back his laughter.

Dont you dare! Maria exclaimed.

Yeah yeah, I definitely wont. Yuu said while giggling.

Marias struggle made me remember my recent bout with the Perverted Gentleman. Im not strong enough to win against him on raw strength, but Inoues help is usually more than enough to compensate for that. I wonder why I wasnt able to overpower him at that time

As I thought of that though, I suddenly heard a voice I knew say, Ah turning around towards it, I ended up seeing Hannes and his friends looking at me, Yuuki and Maria, Good morning. I told them.

Hannes seemed to be a bit frozen in place, but his friend, Kellin, started laughing I wonder what caused that. Is it normal for a friend to just start laughing out of nowhere like that?

Come on, you wanna tell her something, right? Eleanor said to Hannes, who after a small while, started walking towards me.

Do you want to tell me something, Hannes? I asked him.

Dont call me like that when were not in the game He replied.

Oh, right Then, Masaki? I said. Im more used to their game names, so its a bit hard to remember to use their actual names when were not playing I should be more careful with this.

Well, its fine. Come with me a bit, I gotta clear some debts with you. He told me.

Is this some form of extortion? I asked.

I-its nothing like that! He hastily replied. It seemed to be fine, so I following him to an alley. Masakis friends seemed to be anxious about something, while Yuuki and Mai still seemed to be doing their usual thing, Well, uhn You see

What is it? I asked him, who didnt seem to be saying anything. He also kept avoiding my gaze and looking everywhere else instead, so he seemed a bit suspicious.

I mean, uhn You okay? He asked me.

Where did this come from? I asked him back.

I mean, you were attacked He then said.

Oh, you mean the thing at Belzenstock? Im fine Were you worried about that? I replied. It was a bit surprising to hear him say this kind of thing.

D-d-dont get cocky! I was just worried if someone other than me was able to kill you! He hastily replied So this was all my misunderstanding? For some reason it reminded me of the tsundere characters that mom liked. It had something to do with how they kept making excuses for their actions. I didnt quite understand what this tsundere meant, but Masakis current behavior felt similar to it, Dont go thinking that Im trying to get close to you or anything! He then said.

So You dont like being with me? Even though we already played quite a bit together? I asked him while tilting my head. For some reason he seemed to be frozen with his mouth open for a few seconds after I said that though.

I-I hate you! He replied after a small while.

Such a shame, I like you after all. I told him.

H-h-hey! J-j-just wait for me! Ill get you tomorrow on the event! He replied. To think the event was tomorrow already, I must have missed the e-mail from the development team, And dont you try to run away! He then said.

Of course I wont. Lets play again. I told him, and after we promised to play on tomorrows event, he went back to his friends He is quite the fun person.

As I walked towards Yuuki and Mai though, I could overhear some of Masakis conversation, Well, uhn Masaki said.

Kenji then started laughing, You really cant be honest, can you!?

Shut up Masaki replied.

Well, at least she agreed to it. Nozomi said.

Yeah, congratulations, Masaki. Sakura told him.

You really dont hold back, do you? Masaki said while dragging his feet away. I couldnt overhear them anymore after this.

After reuniting with Yuuki and Mai, I was surprised that they were still at it, but I suppose thats just like them.
