Chapter 22 (2/2)

I couldn't quite believe all those words. I'm the lowest…

But Nina called to me.

「Because Yuuto really loves us.」

I almost cried. I grit my teeth and bear it.

It's no good, I thought I was no match for her.

After all…

「…Yes, I really love you.」

Even if everything else was a lie, this wasn't

Nina heard that and smiled looking extremely happy.

Seeing me crying, Tamamo scratched her cheek looking awkward.

When she looked over here and said nothing, it seems she lost her doubts.

「Onee-chan… is it fine?」

「Inaba, it is easy to determine whether Yuuto was lying or not.

Also if Nina and Aira believe in this man so much, what would we do if we still didn't believe in him?

Everything hath become unreasonable so suddenly but… Myself thinks that it should be fine to believe in him a bit.」

「…Un understood.」

Tamamo and Inaba turn towards me.

But the doubting appearance from earlier is no longer there.

「Myself is sorry.

Myself hath started jumping at shadows.2」

「I'm sorry…」

I became fl.u.s.tered at Tamamo and Inaba bowing their heads.

I didn't think they would bow their heads so easily.

「No way! Rather I am the one that is sorry… I stayed quiet about such an important thing.」

「No, twas such a big thing, that's why thou couldn't say it, right?

This time was our fault. We were too busy trying to defend ourselves that we didn't even try to consider Yuuto-, your feelings.」

「Un, we're sorry… Actually I was happy when you said I was cute…」

When I apologized the two continued their words. Originally speaking it was my fault.

「No, but that was—–」

「AAA! This is already irritating! Let’s go out and eat to feel better!」

「Muguu!?」

Aira shoved cake in my mouth.

The area around my mouth ended up becoming sticky from the cream.

「What are you doing…?」

While I was wiping off the cream with my hand, Aira was voicing her complaints.

Ah, it's good.

「The crybaby Nina is enough alone, since Yuuto always looks at her foolishly it's fine isn't it?」

Aira tries to cheer me up while also nonchalantly dissing Nina.

The scared me from earlier looks like an idiot now.

「More importantly, Yuuto, you say you're not a person from this world but…」

「…Yes, the truth is…」

I opened my mouth to explain everything. About me, about when I came to this world, everything.

My body is hot. My head is also empty.

「…?」

I stop talking and pin down my chest.

The sudden strange situation put my head in disorder.

「? Yuuto?」

Nina released a voice that seemed worried.

I shake with s.h.i.+vers, and something fills my body.

「Wai- wh-what happened!?」

Aira was also shaken from the sudden event.

But I couldn't say anything. My body was burning hot.

「Ah」

At that time, I heard Tamamo's voice.

Then I remembered. Come to think of it, earlier I ate that cake that Tamamo brought along.

Realizing that, Aira and Nina drew closer to Tamamo.

「Tamamo? Please be honest, what did you put in that cake?」

「Ni-Nina? If you get that mad, your face will get wrinkles.」

*Ponn*

Aira placed her hand on Tamamo's shoulder.

I have a feeling I heard that sound before.

「Adadadadaa!? A, Aira!? Aren't thou using too much power!?」

However, Aira didn't decrease her power.

Inaba nervously watched over the situation.

「I-I understand already! I'll say it! I'll say it so take your hand away, idadada!!!?3」

She finally released Tamamo.

*Ze-ha- ze-ha-*, She breathed roughly while she gently stroked her shoulder.

「So, what did you put in there?」

「…siac」

「N?」

I couldn't hear her.

Tamamo finally resigns herself and confessed.

「J-just a little… aphrodisiac was put in…」

Word of advice. When being interrogated, feign ignorance as if you don't know what they are talking about, rather than straight up saying you aren't hiding anything. It basically means you're hiding something lol. ↩

To be paranoid. ↩

Itai is common saying when something hurts. ↩
