Chapter 3: The Distinctively Strange and Unique Upperclassman

It wasn't fine

Obviously

After all -

”Ah, opps! Since I was preparing to battle against Arc-san's aura, my powers have been exhausted…! The newly acquired 'Deadline Present' cannot be used! It's a disaster!!”

- Rikka's new skill exhibition ended like that

In the end, since two people co late one at a time, we decided to have each of us co ceremony, since the person who came in late first wouldn't be scolded as harshly, while I headed for our classroo in late for the opening ceremony

Naturally, our homeroom teacher, Tsukury with me My excuses were useless (I had answered honestly that a certain upperclassry saying: ”Is Yuuta-kun part of the faction who thinks it's alright to skip the opening ceremony? Sensei doesn't even know, and it makes her sad…”

It felt like a 'sob story'

On the other hand, she didn't seery at all with Rikka

It see cereot scolded, I won't co scolded

Afterwards

After all that, Aain Since we didn't finish our conversation, ere prepared for her to coht away, but we haven't heard frouarantee that Aain, we decided to head home

That's why, during the school's half-holiday (it's a dead phrase), I escorted Rikka ho ho sun On our way home, we talked a lot about the cultural festival issue, but we didn't reach a conclusion and hence the matter was put on hold

And then, at home

After finishi+ng my lunch at home alone, I moved to my room Since it was so hot, I turned on the air-conditioner and, because I had nothing better to do, I rolled around on

……

…That really was the greatest crisis of my life

I' who made his upperclassh that's not what happened Regardless, I hope there'll be no rumours about it tomorrow

Ugh, I'm worried…

Speaking about worries, wasn't there also the cultural festival matter? That also made me think about when Amaniji-senpai asked us to perform in the play

It was her absolute last chance - that's what she said

I didn't knohat kind of circumstances she was in, but I could tell that it was really troubling her While she did prostrate herself before uess her situation fro to me

That's to be expected after all - those wereabout it

If there's so to help her out Still, Rikka's role in our class dance is a huge issue Since Rikka's one of our class' key dancers, I'm not sure if she has time to practice for a play on top of the dance However, Rikka herself did say that ”I'm already able to perform the dance” On top of that, she said that if I wasn't part of the play then she wouldn't be either

Thatmy problem…?

This , that upperclassman had absolutely no interest inme a bit too coldly Even if I do offer to take part in the play, it see the lines of 'I don't want Normal-chan' Besides, even before that, I' like a play

…………

…That's not true

While it ant of me to say this, but I may have the ability to act

To tell you the truth, I used to suffer fro was play-like, and I created and played the role of a me asn'tlines without feeling any shame at all This lack of shame wasn't just limited to speech - I even pretended to pull off impossible actions

It see

But, well, it is an eh

”Oh, looks like it really was Onii-chan who came home! You're early today~! Welcome home, and I'm home!”

”H ceremony”

While I was slowly pondered over what happened this ashi+ fahter and my little sister, had returned home from the nursery

I got off the bed and checked the clock It seems like I had idled on my bed for an hour…

shi+fting my attention to Yuot ho her clothes yetShe earing her gym uniform, which looked easy to move in

Why was co you did?

”Hey! Onii-chan, listen, listen! Just then I saw an a that it seemed like they had an ability!”

”…An ability?”

Looks like Yuht be my influence, I'm not sure

Also, hair…?

”I'm sure that she knows Rikka! She could probably even transform like Rikka! A PrettyCure transformation!”

”Wait, since when could Rikka transform like PrettyCure?”

”She can't? What about transfor like Ojamajo?”

”How do you know about Ojamajo…?”

I thought that people at Yue didn't knohat Ojamajo Doremi was Maybe there was a rerun

”Well, whatever! That's all! Now then, Yu out to play by herself for a bit!”

”Oh, okay Please be careful”

”Kay!”

And with a smile on her face, Yumeha bounced out of my room

Well Full of energy like always I really wonder who she takes after since she grew up to be such a sweet child Both mum and dad were, well, natural airheads

In any case - an a person, huh

Weird, I wonder why I have this really bad pre 'Yuet hurt' I didn't have any sort of ability to detect bad preo ask Yuet up

Knock, knock, knock, knock

There was a lass door

And if you turned around

There was an aerous person

”No no no no no no”

An aerous person - Amaniji-senpai was there

Looking at her, she was still in unifor ceremony ended, but it looks like that A home?

More importantly, why is she here… or rather, or rather!

What are you doing on someone else's veranda!

By the way, the Togashi+ residence is a normal two-storey house And my room is on the second floor

It's aerous

A lap around's unbelievable! How did you get up onto the veranda of the second floor!

She's not normal!

When Ahtened her innocent expression into a daring s directly atme to let her in

No, but well…

Still, I couldn't just abandon her, so I had no choice but to open the glass door

It was still hot, and a mild summer breeze blew into the room At the same time, Amaniji-senpai took off her shoes and she entered htfully, with a sweet smile:

”Pardon e to meet in a place like this!”

…It's strange in every single way!

I was on the verge of voicingthis upperclass, only derails the conversation It's not a hobby of

Further to do anything for her ht she that didn't want 'normal'

…But she's trespassed into my room

”Umm, why are you here?”

”Eh, because entering through the front door's normal”

”That's not what I was asking about!”

In the end, I still retorted

A salute to ht man spirit! No, what did I just do!

Ieven in my own house!

”Ah, my house is on the third floor, but since I've been reported to the police many times now, I have had to restrain myself Sorry, and I don't mind if you also speak ill of how miserable it is to yield to the power of the state!”

”Please don't answer as if you've seen through me! …So, how did you make it up here…?

”With effort? There were quite a few footholds, so I ed”

”………”

I went to the veranda to check her claim

Hmm

Certainly, if she used her feet to hang onto the piping, it's possible But it's not a method that you'll nor irl like this could - wait, a girl who cli of a house wouldn't be normal

Hmm?

Right, you wouldn't norhtThis abnor me lose my sense of normality

It's so abnor too botherso I was troubled for a moment about how I should report this to the power of the state - err, I uess you could say that an incident like this was so shocking to the point that it was impossible to describe

However, this person… why did it feel like she's been looking at me with a smile the entire time… I'm scared…

”More importantly, how did you knohere my house was?”

”I found it on Facebook!”

”I haven't posted those details on there, you're really scaring me!”

I'll never place my personal information on the net that easily!

”Ahaha, looks like you couldn't tell that I was joking!”

”No… I knew that you were joking…”

”Besides, I dislike using stuff like Facebook since everyone uses it Ifor penpals in the reader's corner of azines”

”How are people like you still around!”

”Well, spoiler - if you try your hardest to find out such things at school you'll eventually find it Even without using soet personal information!”

”And that's extremely scary… but if that's the case wouldn't it been better if you checked out where Rikka's house was…?”

”Of course, that was the first thing I searched However, her current address seems to be different from the address I found at school”

Amaniji-senpai looked a bit puzzled when she replied

I too was also puzzled by that infor into consideration Rikka's current situation, it didn'tabout it deeply for now

Right now, I need to figure out how to deal with this upperclassman

”So, what are you doing at ain…?”

”Because it see”

It see…

”Is that so… Umm, since my room's empty and is more or less clean, please feel free to take a seat”

Accepting that it can't be helped, I returned to ested to Amaniji-senpai to take a seat However, Amaniji-senpai didn't sit down; she looked aroundit, and after a small nod she looked at me hat seemed to be a disappointed expression

”Hmm, unfortunately your room looks normal?”

”Then as the kind of roo…?”

”Let's see, a boy's rooined that it'd be a room that was reflective of what you were influenced by It would be decorated with stuff like golden dragons and dubious posters Still, this room's so unusually clean that it's to the point where it's sort of suspicious”

'It's a room that houses an abnormal secret,' she softly added

…She had a keen eye This room does house an abnormal secret

There shouldn't be anyone else apart from Rikka ould coe et suspicious

I' for narrow spaces or not, but during the time when her expectations were pleasantly shocked, she went and sat in the corner of my room I mean, I did tell her to take a seat, so it wasn't a problem

”By the way, Amaniji-senpai, because of you I was late today…”

”Ah, sorry! If they talk to you about that ain then you can blae incident with a strange upperclassman”

”Eh… you're actually aware of it?”

I'e

”Well, whatever, don't worry about - senpai, where did you end up going? Also, on that note, isn't it bad to be doing stuff like playing truant?”

”Rude I wasn't playing truant I simply entered froe Well, I also ended up kind of late too”

”……”

She was serious

It was definitely not a nor to do… well, if I care too much about what this upperclassman does, then it'll only tire me out…

”Err… about why you're here - it's about this ht?”

”'Wrong!' is what I want to say, but you're right As usual please forgive me I'm the worst, aren't I… truly, I'm really sorry”

Isn't she apologising too much? This person, what kind of person is she really…

”We-well, let's not fuss over strange things like that as well… For so to take a while, so I'll go bring in some tea…”

”Oh? A neglect play[1]! Doing so your partner in the roo a normal person can do! Not bad! My opinion of you is a little better! Please feel free to do a neglect play!”

”But that wasn'twith the ie place; looks like I can't leave someone like you in the corner…”

”That's right, so let me sit in the centre!”

…It was a leading question!?”

It felt like that e just noas co in that corner and repeatedly putting words inme up to say 'I can't leave someone like you in the corner…

I couldn't guess what the point of it was, or more precisely, what her intentions were, but was that mentalism just then? Wow, I'm impressed

But it was still exhausting

”Well then… ulect play, so please wait a bit for me”

”Please do not worry I'll be diligently waiting in the centre!”

”Haa… thanks for your patience,” I said as I left the room

Ho vandaliseroom for some tea I went to the kitchen and took two cups out of the cupboard I also took out some rice crackers fro straight back to my room

The ot back to my room -

”…What the heck is it that you came here to doooo!?”

- I raised my voice

Just like she said, A for ently waiting for e fro a Gachapin[2] onesie

”Heh heh heh, I've come to win you over, as a monster!!!”

”……………”

I'nore A face-to-face, I gently placed the tea and rice crackers that I had prepared right in front of her

”Uo”

”Oof, so we're going to keep continuing the neglect play You're expecting ht?”

Amaniji-senpai's cheeks were a little red, and her hands were in front of her chest squir It made me happy since it felt like a small victory

”Even though I only changed my clothes in a hurry for this… maybe it would be better to take this off Hmm…”

”Wa-wait a ht?”

”Naturally! It's my underwear!”

”Underwear!? Please don't strip! That's right, that appearance, it's extreerous and is unbelievably out of place here!”

”Ah, really? Great Yeah, that's right, it is sort of normal to be naked in your house!”
