10 Ah, Yikes, Isve Been Exposed~ (2/2)

I froze at her statement, my trademark expressionless face morphing into one of shock and surprise.

How, when, where did she find out?! So early into the game, it should be impossible for anyone to know Lynx was actually me. I rapidly tried to figure out how Akane had found my username when she suddenly chuckled.

”Pffft, who knew that you could actually make such an expression!” She laughed out loud while holding her stomach. ”Hahaha! That's hilarious!”

I guess there's nothing to hide anymore…

My face turned into one of obvious exasperation.

”You, you're such a kid, who knew that one of the most popular girls would actually have such a weird side to her?”

”Heh, everyone at school does, just like you. I guess you just don't pay enough attention to your surroundings to realize that fact.”

This girl...although I did already finish my lunch, I needed her to spill the beans on how she tied me and Lynx together. But before I could say anything, she seemed to read my thoughts and interrupted me with a smirk.

”You were simply too careless you know?”

Careless…?

”Mhm, remember that one time your tattoo showed from the left sleeve while leaping over the back wall? Coincidentally, I was putting away files for my father when I saw it. Oh, that was a really nice jump by the way.”

N-no way…

”Yup, you probably already know now. When I heard that Lynx had a hummingbird tattoo on her left hand, it was easy enough to put the two together! Especially after seeing your athletic ability.”

”I got it, so why the track team,” I responded, discarding the fake polite tone I used at school and switching to my normal one.

”Finally taking off that fake facade of yours huh. The reason why you will join the track team is that it will help promote the school and also raise our credits. The higher our reputation, the easier it will be for me to take control, since I'm the track team president.”

”I see, then I will agree to your terms, as long as you don't reveal the fact that I am Lynx to anybody.” I reluctantly said with a wry grin on my face.

Nothing I could do about it, at least I knew Akane's username thanks to the aimless chatter of my classmates.

Hearing my expected response, she giggled and gave her word.

”As long as you provide good results at competitions, you have my word I won't tell a soul about your little secret~”

”Mkay, then I'll take my leave, Miss Aphrodite.”

Without listening to her response, I left the roof and headed to my next period.

Akane may hold something against me.

But I also held a much larger secret against her. Also, since I'm the chuuni-*cough cough*, the careful person I am, I recorded our entire conversation.

I silently laughed to myself while walking down the stairs.

She would pay for baring her fangs against me, better not underestimate the only female of the Mizuki family!
