Chapter 452: Fake (2/2)
But today, she had suddenly invited him out and even linked arms with him.
Taiyou wasn’t about to naively assume that was all there was to it.
(Although maybe Kohaku-san’s had a bad influence on me.)
He thought as he continued their trifling conversation.
It really was just smalltalk.
What did you eat yesterday? What television programs do you like? Questions of that sort.
They were all harmless but pointless topics, and Taiyou found himself getting confused.
He couldn’t tell what her objective was.
“So Natsuno-kun, you called Hayakawa-san Nene earlier, right?”
“Yeah.”
Taiyou slightly poised himself. But at the same time he felt relieved.
Finally it had begun.
“Why Nene?”
“They all have ‘ne’ attached to their names, right? So I call them all Nene now.”
Explaining was a drag, so Taiyou referred to Nene as being ‘three people’.
“Wow, so you call them that.”
“Yeah.”
“Are you on good terms with the Hayakawas?”
“I’d say so.”
“What’s so good about them?”
Taiyou felt startled for a second.
He could feel some malice in the way Rina asked the question.
“That’s a hard one. I don’t think it’s something I can explain in one sentence.”
“So there’s nothing good about them?”
“I mean there are too many good things about them.”
“Whaaat, that’s gotta be a lie!”
Rina said as she cackled.
Taiyou felt himself becoming more uncomfortable.
He still couldn’t tell what she wanted, but that was becoming less of an issue.
(Y’know, I really don’t like Nene being dissed…)
“Hey Natsuno-kun, what do you think about me?”
“What do you mean?”
“Compared to Hayakawa-san.”
“…”
A lightbulb went off. Taiyou knew what was going on.
So that’s what she’s trying to do! He recognized it.
As he was wondering how to handle this…
“There you are.”
“How about we attach a transmitter to you from now on?”
Two girls came by.
One of them was an attractive blonde, and the other was a long-haired girl with a dignified attitude.
Both of them were wearing night dresses, clothing too unfitting for a cafe. They were now the center of attention.
“Leticia? And Juuroku—-Youran.”
Leticia, their instructor, and Juurokuya, Shingetsu’s shadow.
Neither of them were Taiyou’s brides.
“We looked all over for you. Wanna come with us for a bit?”
“I have prepared a car outside, as well as a change of clothing.”
“Okay, got it.”
There had to be a reason for these two to come together.
Something far more crucial than Rina.
“Sorry, I’ll see you tomorrow, kay?”
Taiyou said to Rina, who seemed stunned by the sudden appearance of Leticia and Juurokuya. Taiyou then exited the shop with the two of them.
The last he caught sight of Rina, she looked incredibly frustrated.Please go to
