Have you ever had an experience where you receive lots and lots of messages? Calls? Or even someone who harasses you to such an extent that you think they are a danger to society and that it would be best to send them to a rehabilitation center? Although that last part is an exaggeration, I think I'm exaggerating, many will say, but seriously, the calls and messages are beyond comparison. As you know, I have a friend, a friend who approached me and forced a friendship out of nowhere. I was just going about my day, minding my own business, and then boom! She comes up to you, talks to you confidently, intimidates you at the same time, but also feels like she wants to protect you from the bad things that life can bring. I know what I'm describing is a somewhat difficult relationship. What's more, I understand that there are many people who like this type of behavior from someone, who always keeps tabs on you, who sees you from time to time or very often so you can be together and have "fun" times. I still can't believe that this is considered attractive and even romantic to a certain extent, if I receive a thousand and one acts of affection towards me every day! Every hour! Every damn moment that I've known him!!!!
Man!!!!!! What is wrong with this person!!! They don't know how to relate to others and think that this is the right way to be close to someone!!!!! They don't stop and they don't stop talking, and I'm not fed up yet, but I'm starting to get the feeling that... "Okay, this wasn't a good idea." I feel like if I had her in front of me, she would stare intently into my eyes and the only thing on her mind would be to try to get me to do everything she does without consulting me first. People who drag you along with them into their crazy schemes, because they are crazy, be careful, you have to be very careful. She wants to see me almost every free moment she has, but I repeat that she told me that if she could, she would see me every day just to protect me...
Friend, that's not normal!!! Should it be, I repeat, attractive? Does she think she's great doing that? Why does she act that way? Can't she see that she's a woman!!! I'm not saying they can't act like that, but she has so many sides to her that this one is giving me a bad trip. Who wouldn't be uncomfortable if they wanted to watch you 24/7 all the time!!! Although I can understand why she does it, but!!! But!!! How is she looking at me, besides what I already know!!!!!! AHHHH....AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-----------------------------------------
At this moment, I was at Kuroko Smith's apartment. It was Sunday, so as we had agreed, I had come over to practice our musical instruments together. While I was practicing to improve my piano playing, Smith was also doing her part and using her limited free time to practice the violin. At first, we wanted to... well, she wanted to dive right into the violin without knowing the basics first, so we turned to what I always turn to when I don't know something!
A good tutorial always comes in handy!!!! So the first few times we spent hours studying, watching and learning about music, and the truth is that it's much more interesting than I already knew. I felt the same way as when I was practicing drawing: it seems basic, but everything has its own touch, its essence, a reason beyond simply learning how to do it. I was surprised that, as with the notes we all know, the 7 we've always known, they can be broken down and create even more notes that would be their alterations. It was so simple to think that music can receive thousands and thousands of alterations from the base, which leaves you with literally thousands and thousands of combinations of notes, and that's not all. We have the 7 we've always known that undergo alterations, that's the basis, and now depending on the musical tools you use, depending on the incorporation of other musical tools, sounds, singing, etc. This!!! This is immersing yourself in a world of millions of possibilities!!! Before, I hadn't thought about music having a purpose, but with all this, it's incredible. There's the tool, there's the discovery. If you combine it with human creation and imagination, which they say is unlimited, it's no wonder that songs keep coming out one after another! With different themes, tones, atmospheres, singing... within that world, there are still many more worlds! I'm getting into the basics, which we could say is classical music. The piano and the violin are used and represented as noble, classical, and above all, historical music. But my goal is clearly not to play that kind of music. Here you won't find the next Beethoven, nor will you see Smith as the next Niccolò Paganini, although just comparing myself to them makes me feel like it's a bad idea, but I want to! We want to know more about this world that is increasingly leaving me in awe! And I want to break it down, modify it, change it to the way I would play it! I want to know what kind of music I can play if I master it!!! Who knows!! I might even do it so well that I could play in an official concert!!! With my partner by my side!!!!
Ahhhh... I think I'm exaggerating, doing that is impossible, unless I dedicate my whole life or at least a large part of it to music, which I don't know, I just want to learn to play well because I like it and to make whoever listens to it happy, yes! That's my goal.
Smith also sees her striving to learn to play the violin, and you can tell that she had proper and consistent training just by seeing how she holds the violin and with the help of a wooden metronome, which she also bought among all the other things she purchased. It works wonders. We are now at the most basic level, so everyone follows the slow tempo. For now, we are practicing with a song that is equally slow, but serene and calm, which is what is sought in the slow tempo. The song we are practicing now is "Ave Maria." And when we finally master it, we will move on to the next tempo level, until we reach the fastest one, which is literally what it is called.
We were each practicing, our seriousness when not speaking showed the effort we were putting in. All you could hear was the metronome swinging from side to side, our music following the musical notes. Everything was going perfectly until...
『AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!NANDE-KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????? NANDE-KAI, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!!!!!!???? I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!』
I had been feeling it since I entered Smith's apartment. It seemed strange to me that as soon as I walked in, her home was completely tidy. I expected that even though I had told her she needed to improve her lifestyle, she would have taken it literally. There were no clothes thrown on the floor, no random things lying around, the kitchen was clean, it even looked like they had cooked a nice breakfast. And what surprised me most of all was that Smith was dressed, that...that...
I couldn't believe it, really. The expression on my face when I saw that she was actually improving her life was...
『( •᷄ὤ•᷅)?』
I really couldn't believe it. Maybe it was the cleaning lady, maybe she had cleaned everything yesterday or even this morning, but anyway...
『| ͠° ▃ °͠ |? 』
『Why that face? Is it so confusing? Ah! Or did you want to see me as you're used to seeing me? 』
『This really surprises me, Smith! You're already a fully-fledged adult!!!!』-『I didn't expect much from you, but you surprised me!!! See, it's not that hard to lead an orderly life? *smiles* 』(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و
『Hehe! Just so you know, even a young girl like me can do it if she puts her mind to it. 』
I was really surprised, but anyway, I feel like this girl wants to get away with something, so I don't want her to see me coming. !!!!!!!!! I quickly looked under the couch!!! But... there was nothing hidden there. I was hoping to find the trash stuffed in there... maybe under the rug? Maybe....
『Why are you rummaging through my things? You won't find any dirt or anything out of place, M-chan.』
『Did you really tidy up and organize your home? The cleaning lady had nothing to do with it?』
I really couldn't help snooping around her home, but everything seemed to be in order. Smith told me that the cleaning lady had the same reaction as me, saying that on Monday, which is the day she always cleans, she was surprised because it was the second time she didn't have to do her job. She went in with the usual expectation of finding the house a mess and having to do a good job. But as soon as she breathed in the floral scent of the apartment...
『(ﾟДﾟ?) 』
『*laughs* She made the same face as you. She couldn't believe it either. She asked my permission to look around my home, which I gave her. She searched and searched throughout the entire home, the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom, and the bedrooms. Everything, absolutely everything was clean. Her reaction to this was!』
『( ゜Д゜;)!?』
『How sweet the lady is. I apologized again for all the times she had to clean up my messes in my home, but told her not to worry from now on, that starting next week everything would be very clean and tidy! I'll take care of it now!! And don't worry about your job, I'll still pay you as a "Cleaning Inspector." I'll pay you the same, but now your job is to make sure everything is clean!!!』
Faced with such news, the lady really couldn't believe it. Without saying a word, her expression spoke for her.
『(゜.゜)』
The good thing is that they managed to reach an agreement. The lady couldn't accept being paid the same for a job she would no longer do or might do in the future. Rather, she is hoping with all her might that Smith will come back, as she doesn't care about tidying up her house so that she has to do it. In a way, she sees Smith as a daughter whom her mother must look after.
Everything seemed to be going perfectly, and I also thought that Smith was making this very important personal progress. Everything was going well in our practice, but that's why my doubts hadn't gone away. Deep down, I was very suspicious of her and kept asking myself, "Did she really do all that?"
And my suspicions seemed to be confirmed when we both heard a cry of complaint from the other room, which seemed to come from the guest room. A man's voice was heard with a tone that... Huh?
『(Huh? What tone is that? I haven't heard it before?)』
More than a tone, it seemed like an accent, and that way of saying "Why" made me a little curious. Smith continued playing calmly despite the obvious sound we heard next door. I wanted to pretend nothing had happened, but seeing her smile, she surely wanted me to ask her or confirm the obvious.
『Do you have a... roommate living with you?』
At this, Smith stopped playing, and only the slow tempo could be heard. It was clear that her lie had finally been discovered. She smiled at me and said,
『At least I wash my own underwear *smiles*』
『...Of course you have to do that... *sighs* What a disappointment.』
『DISAPPOINTMENT DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!! I DO EVERYTHING!!!!!!』
It seems that Smith's roommate can hear us, and it's as if he has a great resentment towards this girl. Well, it would be strange if he didn't, given how nosy and annoying she is. But thanks, roommate, for the information. Now it's clear to me that for this girl to improve her lifestyle, she needs someone else to do it for her. Come to think of it, when she comes home, Aniki is always the one who takes care of her and makes her feel comfortable. This only made me look at her with even more disappointment than I already had.
『!!!!! I really want to do it! But there are so many more important things to do!!! Of course I want to be a good housewife!!! Who doesn't want to live in a clean and tidy place, but!!!"
『But...』
『It's just that I'm lazy and I prefer to be lazy at home (ﾉ≧ڡ≦)』
『*sighs* I understand, well, with the job you have and the thousand and one things you do, I guess it's understandable. And so, your roommate is also for work reasons, I imagine.』
『That's right!!! Listen to me, M-chan!!! You see, it's just that in my current job, I'm doing -------』
I shouldn't have said that. Now she's bombarding me with information that's supposed to be confidential. I told you to be careful what you say!!! You can't talk about it so casually as if it were a normal topic of conversation!!! What do I care about that!!!!!
『Huh? Amazon?』
『Yes, yes!!!』
『M.O.N?』
『Yes, yes!!!』
『Criminals!!!!!!!』
『Yes, yes!!!』
『Mr. Pe?』
『*excited* YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!』
He literally just told me what's going on in the Amazon. I can see that he really wanted to tell someone, and he told me with all the excitement in the world. Now I know about it, but what good will it do me? Who knows, but there it is, and as she confirmed, it seems that this guy is supporting Smith's investigation, although I think he's being forced to. When I asked her what the investigation was about, she put her finger to her lips and said,
『That's a secret *smiles*』
And what you just told me isn't a secret too!!! Ahhh... I know this woman is careful and doesn't just give out information like that, but with those she trusts... Should I be happy to have this kind of freedom?
『Although things have gotten a little complicated, we are now searching for Leader Lacra, who is hiding somewhere deep in the Amazon, but don't worry, his network and main base have already been destroyed. Only he and a few men who escaped us remain. We hope to capture him as soon as possible and continue with our investigation. Surely, with what I've told you and talked to you about before, you're curious to meet my group, M.O.N. They'll surely be back in Japan by summer. I'll introduce you to them, and maybe they can help you regain your strength.』
『Ah, yes, that's good... How did you find out that last piece of information?』
I looked at Smith, who... I hadn't told anyone about my goal of training and regaining my lost strength. I looked at Smith, who smiled at me and said,
『Keep working hard, I'll have your back *smiles*.』
『Nosy as always *tsk*.』
At this, the voice from the other room spoke too. I was surprised by this. Well... now that I'm calmer, I can guess who might have told her. Literally, everyone at the home knows what I'm trying to do. Maybe they just told her, but... the fact that Smith knows this information gives me something to worry about. I guess the peace of mind I feel is because she continues to do what she said and promised, to protect me and cover my back. I mean, if at the beginning I remember that I had a large group of agents behind me, and now that I'm making progress, I haven't had any mishaps... Is this woman everywhere?
At that moment, my cell phone was ringing. When I checked it, it was Rachnera calling me. When I answered, she was outside the apartment building. She had come to pick me up and take me home. You may wonder why. Well, with what happened last time, Miia wants me to always, or almost always, be accompanied by someone she trusts, for greater security. That's why when I go to the forest, I always go with Suu; when I go to train with Koki and Koji, Cea is present; she has to be present, of course; and when I go to work, Lala is always by my side. Literally, now when I want to go out somewhere, I always have to have a family member nearby...
『Miia is being overly protective...』
『I just see that she cares a lot about you.』
『That's literally being overprotective... Okay, Rachnera, I'm coming down.』
I was getting my things ready to leave when Smith said that if I wanted, we could have lunch there one of these days, since he had recently started learning to cook. Maybe next time, I said, because I had already agreed with Miia that I would be home at a certain time, and I didn't want to see how she would react if I didn't keep my word. With that, I left the room and left Smith to tidy up the practice room. I was about to leave, but...
『Hey, kid... just in case... don't you remember one night when you wanted to face some Lizardmen to save a young girl, but in the end, the busybody came to save the day?』
Huh? I turned around and realized that someone was whispering at the door of the next room. I couldn't see it clearly. What was it? I managed to hear him and replied that I remembered that day, when out of nowhere I received a...
『A thousand apologies! I speak for myself and my companions that night... we... didn't make the best decision...』 -『And that's why we got what we deserved. If you hadn't stopped us and stood up to us that night... maybe... um... we would still be... we would still be here...』
『...Ah?...What?...』
『Yes...yes...!!!!! If you hadn't stood up to us that night!!!! Right now, the three of us would still be together!!!! Still making bad decisions!!!!! But together at the end of it all!!!!!! AHH!!!!! THANK...THANK YOU.... AND FOR STOPPING US THAT NIGHT!! DAMN...Damn kid!!!!!』
With that, the door slammed shut after he spoke to me like that. I was even more confused. That would be the word. He just thanked me and insulted me at the same time? Eh? Was he one of the villains from that night? What is he doing living here with Smith? I was about to leave, but then I heard the door handle turn again, and I turned around to see what he was going to say next.
『Now what...what else are you going to say...』
『You...you play the piano very well...if you improve over time...Ahhh...I LOVE LISTENING TO TRADITIONAL MUSIC!!!! SO WHEN YOU IMPROVE, DAMN KID, YOU HAVE TO LET ME LISTEN TO YOU!!!! IS THAT CLEAR!!!!』
BANG!!!!!!!
The door slammed shut again, leaving me even more confused than before. Seriously, what's wrong with this guy? Can't he decide whether to be nice or rude? Was there really a need to yell? At this point, I decided to leave Smith's house, and as soon as I was outside the big building, I ran into Rachnera, who asked me why I was late, which I told her.
『Nothing, I just ran into a scaredy-cat who stood up to me (what's up with that guy, his voice was shaking when he spoke).』
By the way, I didn't know that Rachnera would be picking me up, so it was a surprise that she did.
『Miia couldn't come because tomorrow is the first day of school for Papi, so she went with Cariño to buy his school supplies. Since this was all so sudden, they are in a big hurry to get everything, including uniforms and other items. Miia is frantic trying to make sure Papi has everything he needs. She said, "Papi has to have a good start to the school year. It's my responsibility, and I have to fulfill it." You should have heard her. When she cares about something, she gets really involved.』 -『Centorea couldn't come because of training. Lala is locked in her room. Mero, well, it would be more harmful than helpful. Suu... no way, she's out and about in the city. With what she did at school, they're keeping a closer eye on her too. That's why I was the only one free, and Miia asked me to pick you up.』
So I see that everyone is busy with Miia. It's something I imagined she would do. She's really throwing herself into the role of mother, even with people other than me. I asked her if it was reckless and if it bothered her that she was the one picking me up, to which she replied.
『No, well, it's not like I have big things to do like the others. I don't have hobbies like the others. There are things I like, but I'm sure I'll give them up over time because they're not that interesting. If I lose interest in them, it's because I didn't really like them in the first place. And if you're wondering what role I mostly play at home, well, it's the one I know. I like to torment and annoy them in some way. I guess it's a way of thinking and acting because that's how they treated me when I first arrived in the human world.』
So Rachnera only plays the role of being annoying, huh? Wait, do you think that's your main role at home? Well, unlike the others who do have things to do and can expand and explore more in the future, if Rachnera doesn't find something that really interests her, then what will become of her life from now on?
『And there's nothing you like so much that you would never give it up.』
『My dear.』
『Apart from that... there's nothing else, maybe cooking, sports, studying, ahh... biology... medicine... ah! Since you make fabric, maybe sewing? You could be Charlotte's spider web, you could make art with your silk! Does any of that appeal to you?』
『Uhmm... I would say making art. I'm good at using my silk, I could make figures with my silk, but... would that be eye-catching? Would people like that?』
『I don't know, it depends, but would you like to do that? Devote yourself to art?』
『Art? No, it doesn't appeal to me at all, I only said it by process of elimination, but in reality there's nothing that really appeals to me.』-『A quiet life, without doing anything special, I think I'd like that.』
This is going nowhere. I didn't know Rachnera thought that way. Is there really nothing she likes? Although that thing about doing nothing special... I don't know why it makes me feel bad... I think I made a mistake in giving her options. Of course, I still don't know much about her. Let's see... the things she's good at... it's not like they have a good reputation, but she's good with silk, she can make traps and stuff. She also has skills like climbing surfaces thanks to her legs, uh... traps, agility? Throwing silk, climbing? Uh?... Maybe...
『How about being a superhero, Rachnera? There will always be villains, and since you have skills for ----------------』
Rachnera looked at me quietly and seriously, and I quickly fell silent... And she said she wants a quiet life...
『Ahh... sorry... I was just trying to help you, and that's what came to mind when I saw what you're capable of, but one thing is clear, you're the best at using your abilities of all the girls I know. Maybe if you joined a group that...』 -『Rachnera, do you think you could beat all the other girls in the house in a fight?』
This brought something to mind, when I heard Smith tell me that his group M.O.N might come in the summer. Rachnera is proud, of course, and above all in her abilities, she is the one who respects and values the abilities and desires of the species the most. That's why, when she hears a comment that discriminates against or mistreats a species, she takes it most personally, as if she were being treated that way herself.
『Papi would fall easily if I disabled her wings with my silk. Even though she's fast, with a well-placed trap I could trap her like a fly. More than anything, it would be easy prey. With Centorea, thanks to her strength and if she has her sword, she can tear through my silk and traps, but I've stopped her several times already, and it's easy to make her let her guard down. Another easy catch. Mero and Suu, even if they are covered in thick liquid and water, my silk would dry them out and absorb them little by little. Trapping Mero is easy, of course, if we are on dry land. At sea, I would think about it a little, but I think it would be just as easy to fish her out with my silk and bring her to the surface. With Suu, it's more because she's a Slime. Of course, my silk can dry her out, but the thing is, will I have enough to cut off her water supply? Ah. If I wrap her in a cocoon and keep renewing it, then yes, I think I would win. Now with Miia, same thing, I've stopped her several times, her tail is the most dangerous thing, if I disable it, I'll have won, and with Lala, she's just a human with a head that pops out.』- 『In short, yes, I think I would beat them all』
This made it clear what made Rachnera special, and that is because she is a species! It's silly to say it, but of course it's obvious! What Rachnera values most is strength, determination, and above all, how much one can do when in danger. In all these aspects, Rachnera excels the most!
『I see where you're going with this, Kid M.』
『Tell me, Rachnera, are you excited to have a fight?』
『It's not that I'm excited, but if there's a challenge ahead, of course I would accept it and only think about winning.』
『Then why don't you join M.O.N?』
『No.』
『Eh...』
『Of course not. Besides, it's not the first time someone has asked me to join that group. Smith also asked me a while back, and it was clear that my answer was no. Working for her, especially with her as my boss giving me orders? Please, no. Besides, knowing all the problems they get into and have to solve, but I'm sorry, I'm not that good at wanting to save everyone. I would only put myself in danger if there are people I care about at stake. Other than that, as far as I'm concerned, they can get what they deserve.』 -『I said it at the beginning, I want a quiet life.』
We continued walking, and of course I fell behind. Now I understand that it's not just about having, but about wanting, and not just wanting, but wanting it from the bottom of your heart. Rachnera would do it if we were in danger, but on her own, saving strangers or stopping thugs would of course be fun and entertaining, but just being there to put your life in danger for fun?
『I know you're training, but without a sparring partner, you'll get nowhere. If you ask me and I feel like it, maybe I can fight you, although I recommend you have more opponents. You can fight Centorea and Miia. I don't think Miia will, but Centorea will. Papi can treat it like a game, and it will serve as training. There you would have air and earth, and Mero would be water, but mermaids are not a warrior race; they lost that ability. And if you fight me and Suu, you can learn to defend yourself from threats with rare and curious abilities. Just a tip.』
I hadn't thought about this before. I had it in mind, yes, but it seemed too soon for that. I mean, how can I face very strong species if I'm still just a simple human? It wouldn't be training if I'm not capable of doing anything. But I'm clear that as soon as I master my abilities, I want more challenges. With what Smith and now Rachnera have proposed, I see many more possibilities for progress.
『Ahhh!!! *excited* I can't wait to unlock my powers!』
This made me excited and even more motivated to continue my training. I also realized that Rachnera could be useful for operations and training, both as someone who directs the actions and movements of others, and as a main force that helps in conflicts. But of course, Rachnera might think she doesn't have the motivation required to do something considered heroic, preferring to live a quiet life alongside the person she loves. Yes... we all want the same thing.
At that moment, my cell phone rang. It was a message notification. Knowing what it would be, I checked it and it was obvious who it was from.
『I found you, Mina!』
As if coming out of a bad scare, Arami was behind me with a smile and her sharp teeth. As she spoke, she touched my back with her dragon claws, which was enough to make me jump in fear and crouch down in fright. Arami was laughing and said enthusiastically,
『We finally meet again. I've been talking to you all this time through messages. Why haven't you responded for days? I thought something might have happened to you. You had me worried! But it seems it was just a scare. I'm so happy to see you safe *smiles*.』
Does she think that if I don't reply or show signs of life, it's because I'm in danger? We're not in a country where... oh well, maybe we are. She clung to me as tightly as she could, and as if knowing that I would try to escape, she held me and hugged me with her shoulder and showed me her cell phone.
『Look! Look! Look, Mina! These are all the messages I've been sending you. Seriously, why didn't you answer me? I just wanted to know how you were feeling, if you were okay, or if you even wanted some company. We're friends, don't be shy, I'll take that away *laughs*.』
This guy doesn't know what personal space is. He was talking to me very confidently, and Rachnera asked me if he was an acquaintance of mine. Quickly, with a peace sign formed with his dragon claws, he turned to look at Rachnera, including me, and said with a smile.
『We're friends! *smiles* Isn't that right, Mina?』
『...(Somehow he reminds me of her...) Yes... let me introduce you to Rachnera. His name is Arami and he's a dragon. 』
『Nice to meet you. Ah! If I had known I was going to meet such a cutie, I would have dressed up more elegantly. *smiles* 』-『Good job, Mina. You really do have a good eye. 』
At this, Arami couldn't take his eyes off one thing, yes... his eyes were staring at Rachnera's breasts, how embarrassing to say that while he's...
『Ah! Wait! If you're dating her, then that means you're!!!!-------』
『What am I? ... *sighs* Rachnera is just my friend, and no, I'm not interested in her.』
『Anyway, I'm not interested in boys.』 - 『And now I feel bad for judging you months ago, Kid M. This guy here is really shameless.』
Arami couldn't stop staring at Rachnera's breasts, so much so that she had to cover them with her arms. Ah, it seems like Arami just reacted to the answers she was given.
『You're not interested in her? Then everything stays the same *smiles* I'm so happy!』 -『And I call you a kid! HA! You're absolutely right! You're a very little kid *smiles*』
Arami started patting me on the head over and over again, without losing her sharp smile.
『As if everything is still the same as before!!』
Then Arami came closer to me and touched my cheek, commenting that I no longer had the bandage and that my wound had finally healed. With a smiling face and red cheeks, she said to me.
『Your wound has finally healed, that's great. You have a pretty face, has anyone ever told you that? Well, in that case, you should take better care of your beauty. There will always be people who appreciate it, just like me. But seriously, I'm so glad nothing bad has happened to you again. If anything happens, you can call me and I'll come flying to help you! That's why we exchanged contact information! I can't leave you alone!! *smiles*』
....I appreciate...well, yes...I appreciate Arami caring that way. It's not that it's bad, but that's why I think I stopped responding to her messages. She often gets annoying with that stuff about whether I'm okay or if she wants to be with me. I really don't know where all that confidence and personality comes from. Look at him, looking great and all, but...
『Then I will too. If you're in danger, I'll come to help you *smiles*』
I said this to look cool too. I don't want him to monopolize everything, especially with the way he treats me... I'm a man too, you know! To which I replied with everyone's confidence, at which point Arami stopped touching my shoulder and her cheeks flushed even more, as if embarrassed, she stepped back for a moment and...
『Yes... I'll keep that in mind... thank you... *blush*』
This isn't the first time she's done this. When I was in school, she acted the same way a couple of times. Anyway, we have to go home now, we're running late...
Arami quickly took Rachnera and me by the hand and led us to hide in an alleyway. I was confused by her actions, but without giving me any explanation, she just shushed me and said...
『Wait a minute, Draco-nee just arrived.』
Now I was really annoyed because there was nothing we could do with Arami there. I really dislike this type of person who drags you into everything!
『And who is Draco?!』
『Shhh.』
『Don't hit me!!!!!』
Seeing that I wasn't going to shut up, Arami quickly used her claws to cover my whole mouth, and then... ah!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
We leaned over to look through the windows of a building, and the three of us saw someone of the dragon species, just like Arami. A while ago, I called him Draco-nee. Wasn't that a mistake? I see a handsome young man who...
Draco was waiting in the restaurant he had just arrived at, and then I saw a girl coming who looked familiar to me...
『Dhapi!!!!!! Ahhh!!!...Now what...』
Knowing this girl's history, I'm sure this could either end very badly or very ugly. Since I'm fed up with this whole situation, I'm going to trust that this Draco guy is a good guy, plus it seems that Arami knows him, so... I wanted to leave, and suddenly I felt someone pull my arm. It was Arami who said to me.
『Let's keep an eye on them... let's help Draco-nee.』
『Huh...?』
『We have to make this date a success!!!!』
I really don't understand what's going on here. Why should I care if Draco and Dhapi... HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Don't whisper to me!!!!!
SHHHHHHHHHHH
I SAID DON'T SHUT ME UP!!! STOP DRAGGING ME INTO YOUR NONSENSE!!!!! LOOK!!! WE'VE EVEN BROKEN THE STRUCTURE OF THE WRITING!!!!!
Don't say that, Mina. I know you love me, and I love you just the same.
BUT!!!!!!! How can you say that with such certainty!!! It's just that!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH
Certainty comes from trust, and with all the things we've said to each other... *red* We're more than intimate!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET THIS FLYING LIZARD OFF ME!!!!!!
STOP IT!!! STOP THIS!!! THIS GUY THINKS HE'S DON JUAN OR WHAT THE HELL!!!!
For the sake of the protagonist's stability, we are forced to stop for the moment. We apologize for the inconvenience.
