Listlessly, I chased after Fuyukaway-san who had run to the back of the station building. When I caught up with her, her head was lowered in embarra.s.sment as she was blushing heavily.

Well then, what should be said to resolve this awkward situation. While thinking of suitable words, I couldn’t help but think of thanking her for the wonderful sight from before. WAIT, STOP RIGHT THERE! The moment I say those words will be the moment I’ll be labelled as a pervert for s.e.xually hara.s.sing her! Argh, what should I say?

「Uhm, Blue…」

My mouth hangs open as the words refuse to come to my mind. Although I tried thinking hard, the only thing come to me is that wonderful scene from before. VIVA, TAWAWA. [ED: I have no clue what these two words are, going to leave them here…]

「What should I say I wonder…」

My deepest apologies, I just can’t find any words that fit the current situation. In the first place, a loner like me has a fatal weakness, my communication abilities are less than commoners. Oh G.o.d, if I am to reincarnate in another world, please don’t give me cheats. Instead, bestow me an OP communication power, so I can get many friends!

【――Power, do you wish for power?】

W-Who the heck is that. Letters

were suddenly appearing in my vision. Don’t tell me, my wish has reached the G.o.ds?

【If you wish for power, pray for it. For I am Takaha, the one who helps girls with broken hearts!】

This G.o.d is quite the blunt one huh. But I believe you nevertheless, so Takahkamisama what should I do?

【First take a deep breath, then raise up your hands, and spread them to the side.】

Understood. How is it? Is this enough Takahkamisama?

【Good, do a backflip next, and do as many turns as possible!】

A backflip huh, understood Takahkamisama! URAAAA！

I decided to do a double spin backflip, following the advice of the G.o.d talking to me.

【Hmm, as expected of a real cheat. Then, next is to say「I love you, Aoi!」right next to her ear.】

Roger that, kamisama. So it’ll be okay as long as I whisper those words to Fuyukawsan. Yosh――

Then I opened the chat angrily.

【Shinji, I will forgive you as long as you apologize right now.】

【m(_ _)m】

I quietly close the chat. Shinji that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, that was close…

After that useless banter, I looked back at Fuyukawsan. She was staring at me with a ‘what are you doing’ expression. Well, that was to be expected. You don’t usually see someone suddenly doing backflips out of nowhere. Yes, it’s Shinji’s fault. I’ll get him later, definitely.

「――Fufufu, ah m-my apologies! I mean, you suddenly just did such an

an interesting move.」

Is she sneering at me? Or laughing at my action? Argh, my heart is going to break because of the one kanji difference between the two sounds.

「Sorry for before. But, I’ve calmed down, and I apologize for the trouble I’ve caused.」

Well, I’m not alright at all but I won’t purposely pursue the story. Totally not because I’m willing to step on a landmine.

「Her face is still as red as before but let’s just believe her since the person herself say so.」

「EH!?」

c.r.a.p! I just blurted out my thoughts!

「Geez, Sou-kun! Please don’t make me remember it! 」

「Ah, I’m sorry! Well then, shall we go back to where everyone is?」

I judged that continuing the conversation would make the situation awkward even further. So, I proposed going back to Shinji and the rest. As I turned to leave though, I felt something tugging onto my sleeve.

「Uhm… Can you give me some time? 」

Turning around, I was met by Fuyukaway-san’s meek face. Oh no, what kind of talk will this lead to.

「Okay, what’s the matter? 」

Fuyukawsan’s expression gradually turned into a dignified one upon hearing my words. Hey, somehow this atmosphere is kinda like…  EH?

「Uhm……………… I――」

Wait a minute. Is this about THAT? Could it be that this is THAT? No way, no no no no no. That’s impossible, nonsense, completely not plausible! No way, could it be that this

that this is that legend?. Aren’t you supposed to do these kind of things under the legendary tree!? Calm down me, at such time, Takahkamisama will――

「I-I! 」

「Y-Yes!」

「――I-I’ve always wanted to apologize to Sou-kun! 」

…

Really?

「Apologize to me? Are you sure it’s not the other way around? 」

「Sou-kun has nothing to apologize for!」

Really? So I don’t have to apologize for seeing Fuyukawsan 「Tawawa」 from before? Is it also really okay for me to not apologize for the strange expectations in my heart?

「It’s okay. When I was still a soph.o.m.ore in middle school, I was saved by Sou-kun once. Do you still remember?」

Eh, I think I did do something along those lines… Actually, I’ve saved many girls from delinquents before, I wonder which one of them was Fuyukawsan.

「Sorry, I can’t remember at all.」

「No, it’s okay. I’ve changed my appearance since then after all.」

「Eh, is that so?」

「Yes. In fact, my real hair color isn’t actually black but ash grey.」

I thought she dyed her hair color since this is inside of a game. Turns out she dyed her hair with black huh. Then, what about her eyes hidden behind her forelock?

「Uhm, did you get that hairstyle in order to hide your blue eyes?」

「Yes, this is my real appearance. I changed it since I got teased a lot when I was a child.」

I can understand her feelings. When I was still awas still a child―― or should I say up till now, I was often involved with nasty people due to my appearance. But, I had the power to do something about that. Imagine if I had no such power, then how frightening it would have been for me.

「When I was still in middle school, there was once I got surrounded by a biker gang, it must have been because of this appearance.」

Huh. Girl with ash grey colored hair, surrounded by a biker gang. Oh! Oh! I certainly encountered that situation 3 years ago.

「When I thought I was done for, Sou-kun came to save me. Yet I-I…」

I remember facing off against a biker gang because of them disturbing Ruri’s peaceful nap. Yeah, I think I saved a girl as collateral. I remember that girl cried a lot, was that Fuyukawsan?

「I didn’t even give my grat.i.tude after having been saved by Sou-kun, and also did such a cruel thing to you.」

The cruel thing should be her crying non-stop due to fright right? Does she really care about it that much? Either that or she just feels bad to say that she is actually scared of me.

「I don’t think you’re at fault though. Rather, I’m pretty sure I was in the wrong to show such a gruesome sight to you at that time.」
