Volume 6 Chapter 7 Oh, She's A Woman Who Uses 'Boku'
Since they had something to talk about, I thought Kagami-san had something to discuss...
"You're Yamamoto Yuusuke, right? I've been waiting for you."
The girl who was waiting for me at the Seijo branch was someone I had never seen before. She wore a cap called a casquette, and she seemed lively. Her healthy thighs extending from her shorts were dazzling.
Who is she?
"Yuusuke-san, another girl...?"
"...How many girls have you gotten involved with?"
Lisha and Tsukiko looked at me with cold eyes.
"Wait, there are a few things I want to say about your evaluation of me, but regarding this situation, I am innocent."
"But, Yuusuke, you have always had connections with girls in mysterious ways."
"Hey!"
I glared at Sharla as she said that. I want to believe that's not true. By the way, Kanami didn't say anything and kept her eyes down.
But when everyone around me says things like this, I start to doubt if there's something wrong with me. However, no matter how much I look, I don't recognize this girl.
With soft cat-like hair and almond-shaped eyes, she gives off a somewhat boyish impression, but her body is that of a mature woman.
If it were Asteris, that would be one thing, but if I had met such a cute girl on Earth, I wouldn't forget it.
While we were troubled, Kagami-san sighed.
"This girl suddenly came to the branch and kept asking for Yuusuke-kun. Her identity has been confirmed, and if she were an enemy, it would be too careless."
She said the latter part in a small voice, so only we could hear.
I see, that's why she called me for help.
If her identity has been confirmed, she must be an ordinary person. But I can't trust her based on just that, considering the incident with Kushina Mikoto.
There's no use staying silent.
"Yes, I am indeed Yamamoto Yuusuke. And you?"
"I am Yotsuji Senri. I came all the way here because there's something I really want to ask you."
Yotsuji-san said with a cheerful smile.
So she's a young woman who uses the usually male first person pronoun "boku". It's common in fiction, but it's actually a rare in the real world.
On the other hand, Kanami uses the even rarer pronoun "watashi." But that's not important right now.
"If you just want to talk, that's fine."
"No, I want to talk to you alone."
"Just with me?"
In other words, she wants to be alone with me.
This is getting suspicious. When I looked to the side, Kagami-san shook her head.
"No, that won't do. And by the way, you seem to know me, but I don't know you at all. What does that mean?"
"That's natural. After all, today is the first time we've met. But I've known you since before. It's impossible for someone with great power to completely hide their existence. 'Silver Hero'?"
——I see.
I pressed the sword against Yotsuji's neck. I didn't intend to, but I definitely have the power to decide life or death.
Lisha and the others, except for Sharla, are all tense.
But even at this stage, I can't sense any presence of her as a magician.
"You're rational. Are you willing to listen?"
However, the fact that she remains calm even with a sword against her shows that she's not an ordinary person.
"Yeah. We don't need to hear it from both of you. We can talk here and now. Besides, I don't mind if Lisha-san is here with us. In fact, I want her to be."
"M-Me?"
Yotsuji-san pointed at Lisha.
Even in a situation where her life is at stake, she adds conditions. The more confident she is, the more value I feel in her words.
Even though we're the ones cornering her, the situation is leaning in her favor.
"As for the location, let's use this training ground. There's no need to go far, and it should be safe. It's more beneficial to talk than to take my life here."
"‥‥"
Kagami-san and the others doesn't say anything.
I should be the one to make the decision here.
"Understood. Let's talk with Lisha, the three of us. Kagami-san, can we borrow the training ground?"
"Okay, but... are you sure?"
"Normally, if it was stranger, I'll refuse, but I'm okay with it."
Finn, who betrayed the human race, and Kushina, who intervened in the God-Demon War despite being a human from Earth. We have too little information.
We should take some risks and have this conversation.
"Yuusuke-sama, please be careful. She's not just an ordinary human."
"‥‥Understood."
As I start walking with Yotsuji, Kanami whispers to me. And Tsukiko lightly touches my hand.
Ah, it's okay.
"Lisha, let's go."
"Yes."
After that, the three of us headed to the training ground.
