The sun was starting to set, giving off a beautiful orange color in the afternoon. Meanwhile, I walked together with Hanasawa to return to my house.
My right hand is full of shopping, and I see that Hanasawa is helping, but I immediately prevent her from doing that.
And while this journey lasts...
("Awkward!! Ughh.... I can't say anything to break the ice. And in the first place, I don't know anything about her, so I don't know what she likes and doesn't like!!") I scream now.
Oh God, please give me the ability of popular men, so I can create interesting topics just by breathing!!!
BEEP!!
A notification appears on my smartphone.
"Huumm?" I muttered under my breath, looking at the notification. There was one from the bank where I kept my money, and another one was a message, which seemed to be my cousin, or you could say Hanasawa's father.
Well, you know... there are some things that make Hanasawa's age the same age as mine, because Hanasawa's father who is my cousin's age is not far from my parents.
Kinda strange, but the topic is the topic that I don't want to talk about.
[This is the money Reina will need! You can give this a number of times during this one month, okay!!]
[Why don't you give it to her yourself dammit?!!!] I replied quickly
[Umm, how to say….]
[Reina has a bit of a hard time managing finances, so it's always me or Tia who arranges pocket money for her.]
[Therefore, please give it to him, will you!!! >_<]
I snorted a little annoyed because of that, but I gave up...
[That's none of my business, and stop being annoying!!] I pressed the smartphone screen with a bit of emotion.
[Ahh, alright. And one more...]
[Me and Reina are always in contact with smartphones.]
[If there's something on her...]
[YOU WILL DIE.]
Instantly, the hairs on my neck shivered hearing that.
My cousin is a bit of an odd person, but he can be serious at the right times. And honestly he's horrible when angry, so he's one of the few people I don't want to piss off.
"Hahh..." I let out a tired sigh.
"Why?" Hanasawa for the first time to talk to me.
Uhh? Do I have to answer it? How about this? Should I answer with a smile or answer as it is? What if she doesn't like it? What if she will hate me?
Ugh, damn. My overthinking disease is starting to relapse. If you want to be a popular guy, you're going to get a lot of questions like this!!!
"You are speechless, is that something hard to say?" she asked again.
"A-ahh, no. It's just, I'm a little tired right now." I replied while remembering that savage cousin who went around like that.
Hanasawa lowered her head slightly, but then looked at me with a guilty face.
"I'm sorry. If I didn't bother you this morning, you probably wouldn't be tired, it's all my fault." she said
Ouch ouch ouch?? How about this. She feels sad, right? Is my choice of words wrong? I think so! And it's not possible anymore, it's certain that I'm wrong in speaking!! Ouch, what should I do?
"Th-it's not your fault, really. Ehh, there's some that's your fault too, but it's not entirely your fault." I answered hastily.
"Sob..." the sound of crying started, and she stopped walking.
IT'S BAD!!!! Is she crying?! No! Did I really hurt her?!!! What should I do? Ah right. Search on g**gle how to stop women crying......
"U-umm, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. It wasn't because of you, really. It's okay, okay. Don't cry." I said trying to buy time so the g**gle could come up with a good answer right away.
"Can I say "got you", now?" she said.
Eh?
"It's really unpleasant to talk with a mask, you know? Talk to me as a Yozora Kitahara figure." her voice became colder, with an even expression on her face.
Wait. What does this mean?
"Umm, I don't know what are you talking about, Hanasawa. I am Yozora Kitahara, you know that, right? Ha ha ha..." I kept laughing with a smiling face while scratching my head which didn't itch.
"I don't want to talk to the figure you made up your portrayal of yourself."
"I want to talk to the real you, who doesn't care what other people say when you speak, who immediately speaks your mind straight and decisively. Not the "good boy" you've been showing all along." she said sharply.
("He?! She knows me?!")
"Hmm?" Hanasawa tilted her head, maybe heard what I said?!!
But I presume she didn't hear it, for there was no further reaction from her. In that case....
Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath. The smile that had been visible on my mouth returned, forming a flat line that could even be misinterpreted as an expression of annoyance.
I narrowed my eyes, eyeing Hanasawa suspiciously. A slightly condescending look in the eyes of others...
That's the real me.
Arrogant, rude, unable to restrain himself when he says something, and looks down on others.
I really am the form of the Antagonist himself.
"So what do you want, fox lady?" I asked slightly clicking my tongue.
"Fu fu fu. This is just the real you. How long has it been since we talked like this?" she answered, laughing happily.
"How long? Have I met you?" I asked.
"Just so you know, I'll never like you. That attitude of yours, you're the one trying to enjoy your life until now...." she giggled softly.
"I don't understand what you're saying. Just get to the bottom of it." I'm starting to get annoyed by this.
"All right, all right. The point is, you don't have to act nice in front of me, just act like the real you. After all, I already know what you're like."
"..."
"Nothing will change from now on, you don't need to worry. I will still be the Reina Hanasawa you know, and do everything as usual. But I must underline this....." she smiled, then approached me and stood up frozen beside me.
"I really hate you, you know?" she whispered right in my ear.
She then walked ahead while humming a little cheerfully. I don't know what she's thinking, and what he's planning! But right now maybe I don't need to do anything, as long as she doesn't do anything dangerous for me.
"Ah, one more."
"You call me foxwoman? I guess that's right, because I'm a foxwoman who's both beautiful and cunning." she said again.
No, you are cunning. But who said you were beautiful?!
The wind blew hard when it happened, like taking my soul to fly. I looked at the figure of the woman in front of me.
The blonde woman who previously made me blush, now makes me suspicious because what she's doing is full of deceit. I couldn't say anything, just smiled a little knowing that.
I don't know what will happen in the future.
Seriously, why is it like this?
