Volume 1 Chapter 71 With Sagawa and Rie, Part tan ~Adding Amamiya Value Technology~ (I)
*Sagawa's Perspective
"Um... what kind of situation is this...?"
I was currently on the 'top floor of a certain building.'
"Well, you just came to my house, right? Why are you so scared...?"
"Of course I'm scared!!"
Yes, that place is the family home of Amamiya Rie, as well as her parents' workplace.
No, more than a workplace, it's 'a building they own.'
To go further, this entire building is 'their company's building.'
...I see, I don't get it.
The location is Ebisu.
Within 3 minutes from the station, it's a 'great location'... or rather, 'a super high-end property.'
A global giant corporation, 'Amamiya Value Technology Headquarters', has a 30-story company building in such a place.
I'm invading the home of Amamiya, who lives on the '28th floor of that Amamiya Value Technology Headquarters'... it doesn't make sense.
And that's not all...
"Oh, it's you? The classmate of the guy who was bullying Yuki Takeru-kun..."
"Y-yes... I'm Sagawa Suguru. I'm sorry... yes, I was the one who bullied him for a while... I'm the main culprit of that bullying."
Seeing the person who spoke to me, I excitedly thought, "I've seen him in person for the first time!"
The person who spoke to me is... a genius scientist known as 'Kisaragi Kanna,' one of the developers who created the 'AMAMIYA SYSTEM' that is the core of this Amamiya Value Technology.
This 'genius, Kisaragi Kanna' is world-famous, and of course, her papers are published in prestigious scientific journals, with interviews featured in major media outlets like overseas TV stations, newspapers, and magazines.
And I've been a huge fan of this 'genius, Kisaragi Kanna' since middle school.
So when such a person said, "You bullied Takeru," I obviously didn't want to be disliked by her, so I didn't want to talk about this.
But I can't lie about the past of 'bullying Takeru.'
No, I didn't want to say it.
Because he once called me 'a friend' despite me bullying him.
"I can't betray those words from that guy."
So, I told her straight up, "You're the one who bullies."
Honestly, I braced for being hated.
But...
"...Huh, I see. It seems you've changed your mind. You have good eyes."
"Huh?"
I was genuinely surprised because I never expected to hear such words from her.
Furthermore,
"Despite being my fan, I think it's amazing you directly called yourself the 'bully.'"
That's what she said.
Huh?
"Huh? W-Why do you know I'm a fan of Kisaragi-san...?"
"Haha! Of course, I would dig up info on someone I meet for the first time!"
"Wha!?"
Chills...!
At that moment, she... a glimpse of the 'mad aura' famous as one of the traits of the 'genius Kisaragi Kana' appeared.
Feeling that, I couldn't help but say,
"Thanks!!!!"
I blurted out words of thanks!
Ah, that's bad!
This is gonna make her look at me weird...
"Hmm... So my mad aura makes you react like that. Hehe... nice, Sagawa-kun. You're good."
"Huh?"
What the... why am I getting praised like that by her?
"I hope we can get along in many ways from now on?"
"Huh!?"
Then, another 'mad aura' was emitted from Kisaragi-san.
I trembled at that aura, and
"Y-Yes!"
I responded as gratefully as possible.
Really, she's the best... Kisaragi-san.
"W-Wait!? Why is Sagawa hitting it off with Kanna-san with her 'switch' turned on?!"
Amamiya's tsukkomi brought me back to my senses.
* * *
"Now, as you probably understand, the reason I called you here is about Takeru-kun... no, the 'Omega' matter."
"Ah, yeah."
We were watching 'Omega channel' on a huge TV (100-inch TV?) in the big living room.
By the way, earlier, there was a time when I couldn't watch the video, but now I can again. During the time it was down, various speculations were flying around on SNS and online forums.
And then, Amamiya brings up the topic of those speculations.
"They said on the official website that the reason for the earlier issue was a mistake by the D-streamer management, who accidentally made the video private... but is that really true?"
"Well, who knows. Anyway, they're saying that *Sakurako* will hold a press conference about it, so we'll find out the details there."
"..."
So, *Sakurako*...
Just now, Kisaragi-san called the guild master Sakurako without an honorific... what kind of relationship do they have?
"Ah, I see. Sagawa-kun doesn't know. Actually, I'm doing joint research with Sakurako on 'a certain matter'... because of that, we're on friendly terms, and she told me, 'You can call me without honorifics, and our relationship is equal.' So, don't worry about it."
"Heh, heh~ I see..."
Joint research? 'A certain matter'?
What in the world are they researching?
"More importantly! The story of Takeru-kun, who overwhelmed the 'Talking Monster' that appeared on the 49th floor, is what we should talk about first! Who is Takeru-kun, really, Sagawa!!"
Amamiya asked me as if shouting.
"I-I don't know!? I'm surprised too!"
No, I really don't get it!
"You're not lying... right? Ugh, I thought Sagawa would know something... you're useless!"
"W-what!? Are you picking a fight with me!?"
"What? You wanna go? Me, a D-class, against you, an F-class?"
"Gah!?"
"Just so you know, I still haven't forgiven you for bullying Takeru-kun, okay?"
"Amamiya..."
"I know all the details of how you've bullied Takeru-kun until now... So, honestly, if Takeru-kun hadn't called you 'friend', I would have long since planned to do things to you that are twice as bad as what he suffered."
"..."
"Or, if you'd like, I can do it to you right here..."
"Wh-!?"
...In that moment, Amamiya's body blurred.
