Volume 3 Chapter 4 Part1 (2/2)

I've never seen a Batoen before though Or rather, why do you know about battle pencils? Regardless, it seems pretty plain for a tournament…

”Hmm? …Maybe that was a dream then?”

”Rikka, what kind of incredible drea… Look, it's about the play”

”Play? Ah, Arc-san”

Rikka had a look which implied that she finally knew (it see about I thought that her expression was on purpose since she was still playing the funnyserious

”How did you find Arc-san?”

”Well, you see, yesterday Arc-san - Amaniji-senpai - abruptly came up into my room”

Literally Abruptly came up Will this fact be conveyed to Rikka?

”Abruptly came up into Yuuta's room!? Arc-san has the ability to fly!?”

”It got conveyed!”

”As expected of Arc-san…! I don't have the ability to fly… looks like I can't be Yuuta's s after all…?”

”Weren't you lavished with abilities just now!? Well… it's fine, since Rikka's other abilities are absolutely overwhel…”

”Ooh! Yeah, I'll believe in your words Yuuta! By the hy did Arc-san go to your house? Ah!? Maybe she's the enemy!?”

”No, no, she's definitely not the enemy At the very least, she doesn't seem like a bad person”

But then again, I'm not certain about that

Although it was only based on my intuition, I couldn't believe that so personality would be a bad person Then again, I couldn't say that she was a good person either

If I had to be precise, I'd say that she's a strange person

”So why Yuuta's house?”

”Uuess”

”A monster!? She's the enemy after all!?”

”We already did that joke yesterday!”

Seeht process was similar to Amaniji-senpai's Actually, would it be better to say that they have similar tastes instead? If that's the case, then I too also have similar tastes to Amaniji-senpai…

”Anyways, it's about the play - she cahts, Rikka?”

As I asked her about it, Rikka had a confused expression on her face She let out a small ”hmm”

”There's no problem about it on my end On the dance front, I'm fine However, why me?”

”Hmm, well Amaniji-senpai did say that she thinks your personality is rather unique”

”…Unique? But I'htly, see that conclusion

However, ”I'm normal” - for Amaniji-senpai, it felt like the exact opposite is true

I also think that Rikka is one of thefor first or second place in terms of eccentricity By the way, the other person's shi+chimiya I'm not sure if it's because they are chuunibyou patients, but their measure of what's eccentric is different from other people's

However, I'm certain that they believe theht think that they're doing so normally, to others it looks extremely unique

Then again

For Aorised as 'normal'

Excessive acting - thinking back on what happened yesterday, adopting a fictional persona certainly is very si role in a play In so off how unique you were compared to everyone else -

”By the way, Yuuta - are you going to help out as well?”

Rikka asked hts

Since hts were interrupted so abruptly, I was a little shocked, leading me to be a little jittery in my reply

”Eh, ah, yeah But I' out as well”

”I see Yeah, that is a very Yuuta-like thing to do The King's willing to do anything to gain a servant Looks like Yuuta's reverting back to being the type of De that is kind to his subjects”

”I-I'!?”

”To be honest, I' the wielder of the Devilish Truth Stare”

It's another new setting! I mean, didn't you inherit it from your father!?

Looks like I won't be able to grasp the setting anytime soon

”Haa Don't ression, the inheritance of the Devilish Truth Stare is hereditary”

”……”

”… I just wanted to try using that explanation for a bit…”

It was being tsunshun in a different way[7]Trying being tsun-like, and you'll understand that feeling depressed makes it a different personality! YES, MANIAC![8]

”We-well, but re too”

”I'll do it too! Since Yuuta's said he'll help, I'll do it too! It's only natural since you're my contractee”

”O, oh”

It was quite rare for Rikka to press ain,with jealously since I already planned on helping

Jealously - while I'm happy that she feels that way, but since we've already been in a quarrel due to it before I have to properly explain the situation so that she doesn't misunderstand me Yeah, I absolutely have to make sure that I've explained it well

Explaining the situation - but I can't really do that without first telling Rikka about shi+chimiya's and her role in the play Ever since that incident, Rikka hasn't shown anything like jealously at all - rather, the two of theood terms with each other Due to that, I'm not particularly anxious about it, but it's probably still better to tell her now rather than later

”Oh, so we're both helping then Ah, I' out as well”

”Sophia as well?”

”Yeah, since Amaniji-senpai said that in addition to both you and me, she wanted to have one more person And because shi+chimiya's the only who couldher afterwards to help out”

”I see Sophia and the play - yeah, seeh spirits

See ”see to be fun” shows just how close the two of theotten, which makes me happy

”Well then, for no about we go visit Amaniji-senpai after school today?”

”Understood”

And with a nod, Rikka finally returned back to her spot right next to me After that, she finished off her bento's side dish in one ht towardsinto my eyes with a serious expression on her face

”By the way Yuuta I believe it's necessary for you to explain what happened yesterday in a little more detail First of all, why Yuuta's place? I'h? She's the enemy after all?”

…Even though I've already said this before, but it see quite jealous - on one hand, itimpression
