Im having a trouble thinking about how to deal with him who suddenly started making such a fuss but immediately went back feeling depressed again. Really, whats wrong with him? Would it be better to cut off his head after all?

Rena: Are you really okay?

Yuu: Yes, Im fine

He doesnt seem to be okay, if I may say.

Yuu: In any case, Im fine. Nothing happened to me, yes thats right, Im feeling completely fine.

This is very severe, yes? Did he receive some kind of mental attack in some way? However, I havent detect any enemies yet, though? If so, should I expand my searching scope

Rena: Stop please.

Yuu: whats wrong? Are you going to finally cut my he-

Rena: I hear footsteps.

Yuu: !! From where? How many people?

Oh, seems like he has recovered, yes? Thats great, but this is not the right time for that.

Rena: So, what are you going to do?

Yuu: ? What do you mean?

Rena: Im apparently called the genocider, no? Will you be alright being seen together with me?

Yuu: Ahh.

It would be pitiful for him as the game might get difficult for him to play in the future if they think that hes my accomplice. Hence, I asked him in advance.

Yuu: I dont really see any problem, or rather, Ive come this far so why dont we go to the city together?

Rena: wont it be a problem for you if they mistook you as my accomplice?

Yuu: Its okay! Please dont worry about it as I could work this out!

Saying so, he answered with a big smile.

Seems like theres no need for concern if he has said that much, yes?

Yuu: .besides, an otaku classmate and the prettiest girl are now adventuring together in a game No matter how you look at it, this is straight out of a light novel (murmur)

Thus, I headed towards the footsteps alongside him who for some reason, started mumbling again.

I followed Rena-san after having forcibly returned to my senses halfway along the trip.

Yuu:

Im starting to panic right now as I have cleared my mind Its uncool to retract what I have said but I do think it cant be helped as I wasnt in a capture party to begin with and I dont even have any real fighting experience as well

Rena: you dont have to be that nervous, Ill kill them all.

As I thought, Rena-san is a kind person at heart, but why is she being savage like this? Could it be that theres a problem with her home environment No, no, as one would expect, its rude to ask something like that.

Ive been thinking rude things such as having contact with the prettiest girl in class since a while ago. This is not good indeed.

I have to look at her properly andI really do want to be her friend.

Yuu: Its okay, Im also good with support skills so I wont be a burden for Rena-san, rather I might be pretty useful, you know?

I responded to her concern with a smile.

Rena: Is that so?

Just as we proceed while exchanging such conversation

???: ?! You again!?!

We encountered the players.

Arent they one of the capture party? Moreover, its Hannes party as well Our class is different but were still in the same grade so its hard to meet him like this, you see it would have been great if it was Harolds party instead, though.

Fortunately, he is the so-called high-caste student, hence Im probably saved as he seems to not recognize a gloomy nerd like me. Im glad that he still isnt aware of Rena-san as her atmosphere and demeanor is so startlingly different, really

Rena: Again?

Hannes: Y-you?

Ryne: Hannes, calm down. Im feeling the same but lets keep our cool.

Rena: I need to do my best so that I can remember individuals first, yes?

Myra: Poor Hannes

Youve got to be kidding me right, Rena-san?! You have already killed them three times, you know?!! Even at that time, I heard that you fought him at the plaza, met him in the narrow passage, and he even participated in the coup from start to finish only to be killed by you while he was making a passionate speech, you know?!

Surely you cant forget about him like that, right? This is too pitiful for Hannes and his party

Kellin: Perhaps this is a lot crueler than just being killed

Yuu: For some reason, I feel like the situation is becoming very interesting.

Were enemies as of current but I strongly agreed with what he said.

Ryne: hold on, there is one more person behind her.

Hannes: !! You have a comrade now?!

Its her biggest change, so of course they will notice, right?

Hannes and his party raised their guard and observed me with cautious.

Rena: ? Hes not my comrade, though?

Hannes: Then why are you together with him?

Rena: Because hes a well-informed person, Im making him spits out all of the information.

Hannes & Yuu:

No, its the truth, though!! But, there should be another way to say it, right?!! See! Look at them! Their gazes have changed from cautious to eyes full of worry!!

This is totally embarassing, you know!! Their eyes are saying What did she do to him? and What a pitiful guy, indeed!!

Hannes: What did you do to him?

Kellin: What a pitiful guy, indeed

See! They literally said it!! Even that Kellin guy laughed at me!!?

Rena: ? It seems I cant follow this conversation at all

Yuu: This is hopeless

Although I vaguely felt it before, I wonder if Rena-san is a natural-born airheadwhile thinking so, I moved behind Rena-san to support as much as I could
