CH 9.2

「Hey hey, Nanba-kun. Are you free during the summer vacation?」

In the classroom, which was crowded after the closing ceremony and homeroom, Watanabe spoke to me in high spirits.

「That’s a very rough question. I have some free time on some days.」

「Really!? Then, how about we go to the beach together, Nanba-kun?」

「Beach……?」

「You don’t have to blatantly show that expression.」

「The smell of the salt on your nose and the sticky water on your body.」

「You’re surprisingly fastidious……」

I also remember getting tangled up with a lot of annoying monsters in the other world’s sea.

「Oi, Nanba! Please, come!」「Right Right!」「Join us!」

The cheerful boys in the class who seem to participate in such events are desperately asking me.

When did I become so popular……?

It was impossible before I went to the other world.

I even feel like crying right now.

「「「If Nanba won’t go, there’s no way Shiratori-san will go!」」」

Return my feelings!

Also, your desire is leaking so much.

「I’ll pass……」

I left the classroom with Yui, with my classmates screaming and yelling.

「Hey, Kazu, if you don’t want to go to the beach, how about the pool?」

As we walked down the hallway, Yui asked me with a slightly embarrassed expression in an upward glance.

「If Yui wants to, either place is fine by me.」

「Really!? Then…..to the beach. We can only go to the beach in summer.」

「Alright, to the beach we go.」

「Yeah!」

I can’t believe she’ll be this happy when I said I’m going to the beach with her……aren’t you shy?

「Let’s go……tomorrow, let’s decide after I talk to your dad, okay?」

Like he said at the school festival, Yui’s father delivered a message to me a few days ago.

“I want to talk to you. Visit the Shiratori residence on the first day of your summer vacation.” is the message.

Him calling me to talk is a matter of course and it’s better than having him come to my house.

「I’m sorry, Kazu. It was kind of a hassle. In addition, I can’t believe he unilaterally called you……」

「It’s alright. Given the Shiratori family’s investigative skills, I knew this would happen sooner or later. How much do they know about me?」

「They at least know that you’re fighting against variants with me. Also, since you’ve never been injured, they might have think you’re pretty strong too.」

「What about Futaba?」

「I think they know more about Futaba-chan than you.」

「She was a member of the organization after all. I’m sure they know all her details.」

「Yeah. I’m not sure if they know about her divine domain though……」

Futaba only used the divine domain in front of variants.

Due to its nature, it would be difficult to observe unless you were there when it was executed.

If we were being monitored, we would only appear to have disappeared from the outside.

However, if they are aware of the power of a divine domain, they might be able to guess.

「Sorry. I don’t know what kind of information the higher ups have.」

「Yui doesn’t need to apologize」

Although I have little prior information, I thought of a few reasons why he would call me……..

For me, the other party makes me more nervous than any other strong opponent.

Now, what will the topic be?
