Chapter 3 - shi+njuku RPG

Part 1

”Kazuma! I heard you made some serious blunder, huh?”

Meeting Kazuma face to face, Ayano said so, extremely enjoyed

”Aah”

But Kazu any reply he entrusted his back to the wall, his limbs idle

”Kazuma?”

In front of that attitude she couldn't sport with, Ayano forgot the next attack she already prepared and called out to him in doubt

Kazu her, more like he didn't even hear

”What's this?”

She involuntarily asked Kirika but of course, she doesn't have the answer

”I don't know - By the way Isurugi-kun, how long are you going to stand there, come sit!”

That was the first time Ayano realized she had another visitor

If this ether with Kazu newcomer From what she heard, he was definitely twenty three years old But he seeer

He had an extre, his cheeks were red He stood stand still outside the room until he was permitted to come in

But even so, why doesn't hecalled in

”Good grief”

Kirika stood up with a sigh, briskly walked to Daiki and brought him in by the ear

”Isurugi policeman! Open your eyes!”

”Y- yes!”

The intense pain and scolding voice, brought Daiki's consciousness back to reality His h them and stood vertically in front of Kirika

”Th- this is Isurugi Daiki, I have just arrived!”

”I appreciate your efforts but first of all come sit down”

Responding in a worn-out voice, Kirika seized Daiki's hand And then pulled hi him sit behind her

He was acting like a suspect in a cri him stand on the balls of the feet

But then, Kirika quickly realized that was a

While fleetingly stealing glances at Ayano, sitting down, Daiki asked:

”Ah, errrthis miss is”

””

Feeling the approaching headache at the too easy to understand attitude, Kirika pressed her temples

Even if she said he was a pro newcomer, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed

Throwing a sidelong glance at Kirika, Ayano boith a graceful gesture

”I was late in introducing o, my name is Ayano”

Her boas polite and her salute very friendly

All her gestures were, each and everyone, uniely different from the time she ith Kazuma

”Y- you are?”

As expected, it see nervous

But, as the the face of the girl he was looking at smiled softly just now, his consciousness flew up to heaven

”My- i Daiki! I work as a policele!”

Daiki returned the greeting in a htly different focus

Maybe he was really planning for a fore interview

But Ayano didn't attack that happy idiot and bowed her head with a serious face

”I heard about you froreat hopes for in the future”

”N- no, how unthinkable! My power is ali Clan”

”It has nothing to do with the size of power It's important what you can do and what you should do with your power You can protect people with that power, right? I think that's so you can be proud of”

”Is- is that so?”

”Yes, of course”

Although clumsy, he talked freely for the first time

”Appearing in disguise, huh?”

Kirika stared in adraceful attitude, so different from normal

But in reality, this was how Kannagi Ayano appeared to the majority of people

Without need of using the

As for Kirika, if their firstwould have been different, they would have come in contact in a similar manner As for Ayano, she's not aware of any sort of pretense This is also the girl's true appearance

But, in the ht crack While nodding at Daiki's words, her glance seemed turned elsewhere, her lips sharp with dissatisfaction

It was just for one moment so Daiki didn't notice But Kirika didn'tin the direction Ayano's eyes just did, Kirika made a small, wry smile

In one of the room's corners, in a posture with one knee up, Kazu so cheerful with anotherit

””

Looking at Kazu did happened only deepened

He wasn't a man with such an innocent charm as to behave jealously but normally he would at least ant attitude and difference of standard for another

But before she was able to investigate it, the conversation moved forward

Kirika lightly clapped her hands and pulled back Daiki's consciousness, floating higher than the clouds

”Well, it's about tii Daiki, report”

Saying that, Kirika stared coldly at Daiki, now co about the full particulars of his own error

”What the fuck was that? Who was she or as she?”

On the other side, Kazus, and was thinking about the girl he met

She couldn't possibly Tsoi Rin Even if that was a ghost, it wasn't Tsoi Rin's ghost

But for some reason, he naturally accepted her as Tsoi Rin

But, so was odd

The fact is the girl supposed to be dead four years ago appeared unchanged was very abnormal in itself, what'sfrom her

”What was it?”

He compared the four years old irl's s time

Yes, she was a girl s with a carefree face

Her cherry blosso her pupils full of vitality sparkle -

”Aah, I see”

Realizing the source of that unco, Kazu

”Tsoi Rin's were green, huh”

That girl's eyes were lapis lazuli blue Feeling good for finally settling the question, he finally became aware of the outside world

And then realized that he became the center of attention

A stunned Kirika An absolutely bewildered Daiki And then, because he uttered Tsuo Rin's naered eyes was Ayano

All three's glance, in different ways, pierced into Kazuma

”Kazuh

”Did you hear ere saying?”

”No, not at all,” Kazuma responded honestly but the atmosphere couldn't be calmed down just because of that

Kirika got the better of Ayano, whose eyes eed Kazuma

”Just at the right time Please explain today's fact froi-kun didn't understand anything”

”I'm sorry”

Daiki nored him

”Fine But I'et to the bottom of this”

With that introduction, Kazuht with <the hell=”” hound=””>> The ful words he spoke became the focus of the room

”A class change at Pandeame”

After Kazuma's story was finished, Ayano whispered so in an aonally from her, Kirika kept quiet with a difficult facial expression

”Did you thought of so?”

”There's also the site shi+no similar ritten there”

”What you are trying to say is that this is not just <the hell=”” hound=””>>'s wild delusion?”

”There's also a possibility the people rote that think the same way”

Kirika replied so but she wasn't honest about that The fact that she believes Kazus written on the bulletin board as true, can be read between the lines from her speech

But, that truth was not compatible with Ayano's common sense

Piling up a great quantity of experience, that after exceeding a fixed nuave a level-up If one were to raise their level even reater power

”That sort of convenient pohere on earth can you find it?”

Finding a problem, Kirika opened her eyes wide in surprise

”Ah, I didn't explain that incident I'm sorry Because I didn't hear from shi+nomiya-san since, I didn't told you about that Simply put -”

”Ayano-sama”

As if covering Kirika's voice, someone called Ayano from the hallway

”What?”

At Ayano's short question, the servant replied with courtesy

”You're wanted on the telephone”

”Come in”

”Sorry to bother you”

The fusu a wooden tray the telephone was placed on, the yet young servant quietly entered

”Who is it?”

”Someone called Suzuhara”

”Suzuhara?”

Without having any idea who that is, Ayano was puzzled

”She said she was Ren-sama's classmate”

”Ah, Kanon-chan? - And you -”

While reirl with adorable looks and lively character, Ayano looked at the servant frowning

The ones serving the Kannagi family obviously know the Clan's occupation and the importance of that duty

Even if he was a servant, a blockhead that interrupts afor a personal call has no qualifications to work in this household

But, not realizing he was on the verge of unemployment, the servant continued his words blandly

”It see”

”- Tch! Father?”

”Of course As ith Genma-sama” (!)

While answering frankly, the servant held out the tray Ayano gripped the phone as if tearing it off

”hello?”

Coincident with Ayano's word, an upset voice flew in like a torrent

”J- just calinn - he disappeared? Suddenly, in front of your eyes? At Tokyo's Government Office? Why were you - Pandemonium?”

That last word frozen the already strained atmosphere of the room

In the still as death space, only Ayano's voice resounded for a long time

Part 2

Seiryou Private Academy - this campus built not far of froious school froh school

With a tradition exceeding a hundred years, it's valued highly for yearly producing successful applicants to national universities with achievee number of children from respectable families attend

And then, on the list of names of freshmen froi Ren and the name of that friend

After school

One boy approached the girl stuffing textbooks in her bag

”Kanon -”

Being addressed with overly fairl, Suzuhara Kanon turned over her shoulder with a sharp look

”Do you have some business with me, Takamatsu-kun?”

Her tone was by no standard in a good mood but the boy called Takamatsu didn't notice and drew closer with a smile

”Don't talk to me in such a reserved manner, call me Takashi+ I'll also call you Kanon”

It seeh school student, didn't learn any kind of etiquette until now After not using honorifics and calling her you, Kanon raised her eyebrows

”Let's stop somewhere on the way home The UFO catcher is my specialty I'll catch whatever you fancy”

While saying so, he casually touched her shoulder In Kanon's mind Takashi+'s death punishment was decided

With a light breath she softly brushed Takashi+'s hand, the one touching her shoulder, and then -

”Aghyaaah!?”

She sized his th

Falling to his knees with an unsightly scream, he received a kick on top of his shoulders and rolled on the ground

”Hey, Takamatsu-kun?”

Kanon overlooked with a cold-hearted gaze Takashi+, laying doith his face up

”As it seems you don't know much about the manners of the world, I'll teach you but don't you think it's very rude to address a person you're not inti an honorific title?”

Sweeping the shoulder Takashi+ touched, whipping her hands with a handkerchief and even going as far as throwing that handkerchief in the garbage can - that three layered combo pointed out her real intent: I don't want to be touched by the likes of you and relentlessly delivered the final blow

”If you want to chase after girls, you'd better improve your character Because your face cannot coar nature”

It was a blunt way of talking but from the classroom there could be heard snickers from here and there It seeht this boy was pushy

”Y- you”

”Ah, Ren-kun!”

Kanon looked at theTakashi+ as if he was filth but the instant she recognized the boy at the entrance of the classrooirl in love

I about Takashi+'s existence, she rushed over with a light

”Re - n -kun!”

”Ah, Suzuhara-san Did so happen?”

Without showing signs of faltering at the approaching beautiful girl, Ren grinned Kanon, that seemed about to eed

”Ren, kun?”

”What?”

Intently watching Ren, softly sht:

”As I thought, he changed”

At almost the sa break And then when he returned after half a month, he was exhausted, like a different person

He alh

His eyes were dead

In order to recover his s but she called her bitter enemy and joined hands with that homo bastard

But it was useless

Eventually, the graduation cere Ren left school She knew they were going to the sa that she will never see hiain

It seemed that was needless anxiety because when they occasionallyalmost normally

”But still, so is different”

She recognized it every tied inside Ren Although he was only five centi for some reason

He was still gentle but she couldn't drag hih he drifted away, he would definitely not cross over a certain line - she felt that sort of flexible power

Just like now Although she would have siht noouldn't tolerate it

So related to the unique occupation of the Kannagi Family A situation she couldn't comprehend deeply injured Ren's delicate heart And by overcoer

She thought that side of Ren was cool too But at times he seemed in a faraway place Was it possible she can't reach hihts

”That's not true, right?”

She fleetingly looked up at Ren with upturned eyes Realizing the serious light dwelling in her gaze, Ren directly stared back at Kanon

”Suzuhara-san, did so happen?”

”- No, it's nothing”

Kanon replied as bright as possible and boldly clung to Ren's arm

”Su- Suzuhara-san?”

”I told you to call me Kanon”

Eainst his arm, Kanon drew closer

”Eh, well, but”

Exasperated by Ren's bright red face, Kanon puffed out her cheeks

”Ugh, if I don't do soe!”

Without shying away fro herself on hi him like this to a deserted place -

”- Hey”

But that anticipation, uniirl, was obstructed by an i to hide her displeasure, Kanon demanded an explanation in a thorny tone

”Ara, Takamatsu-kun, do you still have some business with me?”

Takashi+ only looked at Kanon without answering and ca he stared intensely at Ren's features and sneered with open disdain

”That's what you like, Kanon? Afeatures but his face?”

”What are you trying to say, Ren-kun is very set his speech as the freshman's representative?”

”Sh- shut it!”

Having his best effort at sarcased His eyes, red with anger, seized the surprised Ren who had not understood the situation

He thought of targeting the short boy that seeet fit for a diversion

He quickly seized the nape of his neck and yanks it up, attacking him with a brutal countenance '(!)

”You're so co with the likes of me, huh? Do you want me to hit that pretty face of yours, ahhh?”

”Huh”

Blinking at the sudden incident, Ren earnestly tried to communicate

”It's Takaht? I'm sorry but I don't understand why you are so upset? Could you please explain the situation before resorting to violence?”

”I can't, you idiot!”

While shouting close to his ears, Takashi+ hardened his fist and struck

But that fist was returned next to Takashi+'s torso, before reaching Ren

”Wha -”

”Stop right there If Ren was serious the likes of you are nothing but a pushover”

TheTakashi+'s neck Seeing that man, Kanon murmured unpleasant from the bottom of her heart

”You cah I didn't call you, huh”

”Humph, if it's for Ren I'll rush over from the end of the earth!”

Retorting a slightly complicated answer, the ue that will never reach a common point with a tired face, Ren said

”Serisawa-kunplease let hiht?”

”Ah? Ah - sorry, sorry”

With an aard smile the

While coughing, Takashi+ scowled at the man who asked for trouble

”Y- youah?”

But, even by turning his face, he cannot see thehis field of vision - after realizing it was the chest of the h school uniform, he looked upward

He was huge

Taller than hih he was a first year student he was taller than a hundred and eighty centimeters

In the entire class - no, the entire school there wasn't another one like this kind of guy

”Se- Serisawa”

”Yo”

With a broad grin the htly held Takashi+'s head

Gripping his se arm as if ready to crush his skull as it is

”Uugiigaah, ahh”

Drawing near to Takashi+'s face, as groaning in pain, Serisawa showed a ferocious smile

”Listen! If you have a bone to pick with Ren, I'll be your opponent first Try re that!”

While saying that he shook Takashi+'s head and heaved hi in the air, s with the whole face, he turned to Ren

”Hey, Ren You're not hurt right? I mean, that's impossible Wahahahahaha”

With a lively laugh, Serisawa approached Ren But Kanon stood in his way

Looking up at Serisaith a cold gaze, Kanon informed him

”Thank you very o back to the zoo Your wife, the feorilla, must wait for your return”

”Wh- who's a gorilla you stupid bitch!”

”You, of course it's you! Don't you think anything about being so big at only twelve? If it's not a gorilla, your ancestor must be some sort of anthropoid so please let some research institute have you!”

While looking over the quarrel he had no place in, Ren let out a s not to attract attention

Although this kind of thing happened frequently during middle school, all the sa Kanon aside, nobody iined Serisaould be able to enter Seiryou Gakuen

Since Serisaas a really poor student except athletics, just how much effort he put to pass the entrance examination

That noble endeavor and the conclusion that seemed the favor of Gods was rumored to be some miracle of love

Though honestly, Ren would rather have that part forgotten

But even so, not satisfied by only passing the exa in the same, maybe Serisawa really had some divine protection

What's more, since Kanon was also in the same class, that Goddess of love must have had a black tail hidden underneath her white robes

”Ren is hanging out with me!”

”Don't be stupid! He's co with me!”

While Ren was trying to escape from reality their quarrel continued And at that point they were contesting who is taking Ren on an after school date - without even asking for the feelings of the person himself

”Will I be able to stop then, I wonderstill” Ren thought in a glum mood

If he were to ignore it, it seems their dispute would really turn violent As expected, he cannot ignore the das

Beside, different frouh a level that he cannot stop it

Ren tried to console hi here will become useful in the future

”Hey, listen” he called out to theht a voice as possible

Both turned their heads sie to run away, Ren preserved his sreat effort

”It - it would be better if we all went Instead of only two, isn't it ht?”

””

””

A heavy silence that hurt his stoency, the fortunate students closer to the door plotted a speedy escape

Co out on his back didn't change his slare

After a long, long silence, Kanon and Serizaered their pressuring gaze at the same time

”- Well, if Ren-kun says so”

”- There's no helping it”

Extre both of them, Ren tried to leave the classroom

But a rough sound froround stopped them in their tracks

”Hey, hey, please stop it!”

”Shut it!”

A thoroughly angry voice Without the need to turn around, the developlances earily faces

”Hey, just stop it already, you”

”Shut your trap, you enormity!”

Takashi+ shouted at Serisawa in a disgusted voice and glared at Ren standing next to him

But Ren, who at twelve passed through nue, didn't feel threatened by only a violent boy

On the contrary, not even recognizing he was being glared at, he tilted his head as is asking ”Why on earth is he angry about?”

And then, there was Kanon

She received head on Takashi+'s hateful glare and returned a scornful laugh Her folded arhtiness itself didn't hide her contempt for Takashi+

”You're ap between his clenched teeth, grasping his fists tightly

”Don't get conceited you bitch!!”

And then, he leaped at her while screaree of violence, so she was unable to respond

Takashi+ grabbed Kanon’s shoulder and swung his fist A second later, everyone was convinced the girl was cruelly hit But -

”- Gaah?”

As abruptly as a spinning top launched in the middle of the way, Takashi+ was torn off from Kanon and pressed to the blackboard

Because of that enormous power, the blackboard and Takashi+'s back started creaked o hazy because of the pain, Takashi+ looked at the figure of the person who pressed him down

”Ka - Kannagi? No way!”

He couldn't believe it That a boy much smaller than him could hide this much power Because he was pushed up, he tilted his body was slowly forced up Both his feet were floating in the air

”GuuHas - stop”

Pressured by the fist grabbing hi to soue was frozen

Ren was looking straight at him

He was sharp, like a different person but despite that his gaze was carrying an intense anger

His whole body tied by the power loaded in that pupil, Takashi+ shi+vered in fear at his wit's end

”I'll be killed!”

He felt death closer than ever before The fear of having a knife thrust at hinificant when compared to this

It was the first ti in the real thirst for blood A precise, definite intent to slaughter

There was no escape

Calmly, composedly and certainly -

”This guywill kill me!”

”Hi - hiii”

But, contrary to his expectation Takashi+ was suddenly released from the restraints The body that lost its support slipped off, rubbing the ith a dragging sound and feebly sunk down to the floor

”Ehah?”

Looking up in a daze, he saw Ren looking at his own hand with an air of bewilderment And several seconds after, he showed aat his feet

”Hey”

”Hiiiii!”

”You can't be violent toward girls”

The persuasion Ren reatly perplexed, didn't add up

”Hey, eh”

While thinking what to do about that, froe liquid poured out

An offensive smell

”Eh?”

”What have you done?”

Serisawa forcibly drew out Ren, standing rock still dumbfounded And then he put his arle hi to a place where the liquid that kept on flowing

”Your indoor slippers will get dirty! Instead of cleaning this guy's piss from my slippers I'd rather throw them away!”

”Th- then that really was”

Finally co liquid, Ren's face became pale

Looking at Takashi+ he saw that his body was still curled up The reason why he was tre was probably not only fear

Incontinence - a boy that was already a junior high school student never felt sovery upset

”I'm, I'm sorry! I, didn't mean toI'll call Sensei immediately so - ”

”- Ren”

Striking Ren's shoulder, Serisawa feebly shook his head

”If you feel even a little pity for this guy, don't say anymore Just leave him alone”

”Eh, but - if it stays like this it will seem I bullied him And people who torment others are the worst”

Ren didn't say it with malice He didn't but the consequence of those words was to break into small pieces the already wounded pride of Takashi+

As if whipping the dead or salt was rubbed into his wounds Takashi+'s body shi+vers worsened

”Are - are you ok?”

Perceiving that reaction, Ren flustering rushed over to Takashi+ He touched the tre body
