Volume 1 Chapter 34 Rie, Part tan
As soon as she said that, Amamiya-san's body swelled up with a burst of magical energy.
"Huh?! Stop, stop! Hey, Amamiya-san, if you unleash an attack with that much magic, neither Sagawa nor the school building will survive!"
I stepped between the two of them, desperately pleading with Amamiya-san to hold back her magic.
Wait, did Amamiya-san just casually try to blast Sagawa with her magic?
Isn't this person a little dangerous?
As I backed away,
"Ah, um, don't get the wrong idea, Takeru-kun! I wouldn't do something like this to a normal person! It's just, I heard Sagawa was bullying you, so I thought I'd make this trash reflect on their actions by sending them to our research facility for a little 'personality breakdown'......"
Yeah, yeah, the whole "personality breakdown" thing just made me even more wary, Amamiya-san.
There's no doubt she's a beautiful girl, but there's also no doubt she's not exactly... normal.
If I don't step in here, it's clear Amamiya-san will seriously end up kidnapping Sagawa someday.
"A-Amamiya-san, actually......"
I explained to Amamiya-san that Sagawa and I had made up.
"Huh? Really?"
"Yeah. Sagawa's my friend now. So, let's skip the whole research facility thing, okay?"
"Well, if Takeru-kun says so......"
It seemed Amamiya-san was convinced.
...Phew.
* * *
"By the way, I overheard you two talking about a D-Streamer named 'Omega' earlier in the hallway......"
"Ah, yeah."
"What do you think, Amamiya? About that Omega?"
When Sagawa asked Amamiya-san that question,
"Well, honestly, I can't really say for sure... That's the truth. That insane speed, the martial arts she unleashes from it, and then that absurd attack power that can burst a monster in one hit... It's just way too far from my common sense."
"Speaking of which, isn't Amamiya's common sense pretty out there too?"
"Huh? Are you picking a fight with me? You, Sagawa?"
"Wait, your tone!?"
"Since Takeru-kun stopped me, I've put off dealing with you for now, but in my mind, the 'bullying (major sin)' you did to Takeru-kun hasn't been erased, you know?"
"W-wait, don't get the wrong idea! I just meant that Amamiya, who's already a D-class Seeker in high school, is ridiculously strong, so your common sense is pretty out there too! I meant it as a compliment!"
Sagawa desperately tries to explain himself to Amamiya-san.
It seems Amamiya-san's earlier threat really got to him.
"I-I see, my apologies. ...Ahem."
Hearing Sagawa's words, Amamiya-san seems to realize her misunderstanding, her face turning red as she apologizes.
Despite how much she dislikes Sagawa, the fact that Amamiya-san can apologize to him shows that, while she has a crazy side that's unpredictable when angered, she's fundamentally a 'decent person,' as this exchange makes clear.
"Oh! And about that Omega livestream footage, it's not CG. It's 100% real."
"I knew it!"
"Huh? W-wait a second!? How can you be so sure, Amamiya-san? And Sagawa, why do you believe her so quickly?"
"...It's Rie."
"Huh?"
"Takeru-kun. Please call me 'Rie.'"
Buzz..
The atmosphere in the classroom shifted once again, just like before.
Well, it's probably the murderous aura from 'Amamiya's Elite Guards.'
Still, being asked by a beautiful girl to call her by her name and refusing it... That's not the kind of wishy-washy light novel protagonist I am!
"Okay. 'Rie-tan'"
"No way, you're calling her 'tan'! That's way too close, right?!"
Then, Sagawa chimed in from the side.
Rustle... rustle rustle!!!
The classroom's tension rose like the 'Inside the Hope Ship Espoir (Hope)' in chaos.
However,
"... (Pop!)"
Ggh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rie-tan pressed her hand against her cheeks, which were even redder than before.
And Sagawa and the others... I mean, Amamiya's Elite Guards, were left speechless at the sight.
Hehe, I won.
* * *
"Ahem! Anyway, let's get back to the topic. The reason I believed Amamiya when she said, 'The Omega footage is 100% real, not CGI,' is related to Amamiya's parents."
"Huh? Rie-tan's parents?"
"Rie-tan... ugh! From here on, I will explain..."
Rie-tan blushed again and fidgeted nervously.
I see, it seems she's still not used to me calling her 'My Rie-tan'.
Her flustered behavior is so cute.
Seriously, a beautiful girl getting flustered is the best.
It's a win.
"Um, well... my dad runs a company."
"A company?"
Oh, so that means her dad is a president of a company.
From her mannerisms, she really is a rich girl.
"...Do you know 'Amamiya Value Technology'?"
"Huh!? Oh, Amamiya Value Technology!!! Is that the 'one' famous for the 'AMAMIYA SYSTEM'?!"
"Y-yes. My dad is the CEO of Amamiya Value Technology, which developed the foundational technology for the 'AMAMIYA SYSTEM' electronic payment service."
Pahk, pahk, pahk.
My mouth was open, but instead of closing, it was agape like a broken toy.
