Yoru Hiru Takes a Stroll

“L, Love? ……..m, me? Nah.”

.

.

Alright, I said it.

Just like that I smoothly got up from my seat.

.

.

“Hmm, really?”

“……..”

.

.

Towa grabbed my hand.

S, Scary……..

I can see from her eyes that she won’t let me escape.

.

.

“Yoru-chan, you are in love, right?”

“NOPE!”

“Yoru-chan, you are in love, right?”

“I’m….., I’m not.”

“Yoru-chan, you are in love, right?”

“What’s this!? Am I stuck with an NPC!? What is this loop!?”

“Yoru Hiru, you’re in love.”

“Wha-, Seiko! Master! Help me!”

.

.

I was overwhelmed by Towa.

It’d be easy to shake her hand off since Towa is just an ordinary person but I can’t act violently in front of so many witnesses.

Rather, it would be no joke if I go all out so the surrounding people will surely step in.

.

.

“Recently, I saw that they started selling wireless headphones at 100-yen shops, you know.”

“Technological revolution is really amazing, isn’t it. When you have to give a present to a guy you don’t like that much you can just give him something cheap with a genuine-looking package too.”

“You’re so evil, Master.”

“You two have no intention to help me at all!?”

.

When I called for help, the two simply started a conversation about 100-yen shops.

.

.

“Yoru-chan, you are in love, right?”

“I am! Yes, I am! Let me off already, please!”

“Wow, so you are in love! Who is it, who are you in love with!?”

“S, She’s invincible…….”

.

.

So dirty, Towa’s playing dirty.

It’s rude to call a beauty like her dirty but she’s definitely dirty.

.

.

“Yoru-senpai, you’re in love huh.”

“Who is he, is he handsome?”

“Wha, What the heck!? Just keep talking about 100-yen shops!”

.

.

The two suddenly chimed in with a grin on their faces.

I’m surrounded…….

.

.

“Muh….., it’s lively here today huh.”

“Oh, Sakuya. You’re already done playing with Hideyori?”

“I lost. His Roy was too strong.”

.

.

Saying so, Sakuya sat down next to Towa.

Why the heck is everyone crowding around me!?

.

.

“Towa, hi.”

“Good afternoon, Sakuya. Yoru-chan said she’s in love! Don’t you want to hear more about it?”

“Yoru, I’m open for consultation you know.”

“WHAT IS UP WITH THIS COFFEE SHOP!?”

.

This is not the time to be doing this right?

Please, just let me go home!

.

.

“I’ve already heard about you from Juumonji-kun.”

“Takeru?”

“Yoru is being disliked by Takeru.”

“Wha-, don’t just say it to my face……..”

.

.

Perhaps Master and Seiko are also acquainted with Takeru, the two of them seem interested in the topic.

.

.

“I heard Takeru say that you are delusionally paranoid when he was talking to Hideyori.”

“And then the words spread…….”

“It spreads too fast……”

“But after seeing Yoru-chan looking at Juumonji-kun I can tell!”

“Eh?”

.

.

Towa looks me straight in the eyes.

As expected of the woman who Takeru looked up to.

She’s very perceptive……

.

.

“I saw your grin when you looked at Hideyori-san and Juumonji-kun chatting!”

“Wait, don’t say it!”

.

.

Were people around me looking at me like that……..?

Ugh, how embarrassing……

No, for me, it’s not like love or hate with Takeru you know……

Ahh, how do I describe this……..

.

.

.

.

“Besides, I’ve seen you follow Hideyori around for the past few days. Yoru is obviously aiming for Hideyori.”

“………Hae?”

“That’s right! Yoru-chan, you’re clearly aiming for Hideyori-san! You were just jealous of how close Juumonji-kun is with Hideyori-san right!?”

“Yoru-senpai is aiming for Onii-chan!?”

“That man, he did it again…….”

.

.

Why does everyone think that I am in love with that piece of garbage……?

.

.

Hah, I see!

Both Towa and Sakuya are aiming for Takeru.

Since they think that I might become their rival, they are trying to kick me down to lessen the number of girls who are going for Takeru.

I can see through their plot.

But I will swallow my shame and bear the disgrace that I’m aiming for Akechi here.

If I do that then I will be able to approach Takeru with no eyes on me.

I will use Akechi as a smokescreen while my real aim is Takeru.

I’m such a genius!

.

.

“Th, That’s right! I’m aiming for Akechi!”

.

.

How’s that?

I’m not interested in Takeru.

Now you are happy right?

I said exactly what you two wanted to hear.

.

.

“Whassup.”

“Ah, Takeru-kun, welcome.”

“Eh…….?”

.

.

The voice of someone I don’t want to be here the most came from the coffee shop entrance.

Nah, impossible.

Takeru wouldn’t visit a coffee shop with barely any customers like this.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

.

.

“Eh!? Yoru-senpai, you are seriously going for my brother!?”

“Hah?”

.

.

After Seiko-chan’s surprised voice, I heard Takeru’s voice again.

Eh, I really didn’t imagine it……….?

After all, there’s no way I would mistake Takeru’s voice…….

.

.

“………..”

.

.

When I turned around, Takeru’s eyes were already on me.

This place……, I can’t anymore……..

Author Note: Smash Bro Character roster.

Sakuya uses Marth and Lucina

Takeru usually goes with Link or Uncle Ganon (TLN: Ganondorf) while Madoka’s pick is obviously Pikachu.

Yurika cried that she wanted to play as Yuffie from FF7 but she reluctantly chose the ninja-like Greninja(Gekkouga) instead.

Both Tatsuyuki and Hideyori are Roy players.

Nodoka wanted to play as Heal Slime or Tentacool but she has to play as Inkling or Pac-N-Flower.

Seiko is also an Inkling player.

Master only played the original version so he went with Ness and Kirby.

Yamamoto uses a lot of popular characters like Cloud and Joker which are popular among young people.

Yoru uses characters that are good with melee combat like Little Mac and Uncle Ganon. [I will turn you into grounded meat!] is what she often says when playing them.

.

.

The Non-gamer group.

Emi went [I’m fine with the same character as Hideyori-kun!] and chose Roy.

Risa was [They look strong] and chose Ridley and Sephiroth.

Towa was [IS THERE NO PANDA IN THIS GAME!?] and picked female characters like Myhtra&Pyra or Zelda. (Hideyori sent a request to the Dev to add Panda from Tekken for her)

TLN: Adding all character portrait would be too much for me……….
