Volume 2 Chapter 6 The Beautiful Girl with a Deep Karma... 'Kisaragi Kanna' Appears (I)
"Nice to meet you, Yuki Takeru-kun. I am Kisaragi Kanna."
"Ah, nice to meet you... I'm Yuki Takeru."
Wow, she's such a stunning beauty that I can't help but speak in a Kansai dialect.
Yet, there's something about her that feels a bit suspicious, like she's not an ordinary person.
Seriously, who is she... isn't there a lot of people like that here?
"Ah! Kisaragi-san!"
As Sagawa just woke up, he saw this 'Kisaragi Kanna' and greeted her with a beaming smile.
No, Sagawa's face is sparkling!
W-what's going on...!?
"Hmm? What's wrong, Sagawa-kun? You seem a bit tired...?"
"Ah, no, just... but I'm fine!"
"I see."
After that exchange, Kisaragi-san sat down next to me.
"...Huh? Eeeeeh!?"
"Wait! Kanna-san!?"
"Oh come on, it's fine. Even I sometimes want to soak up the youth's essence."
"That's an old man's thought!"
"Hahaha. I won't deny that."
"You should!"
Watching the friendly banter between Kisaragi-san and Rie-tan, I couldn't help but blurt out,
"Um... Rie-tan's... Rie-san's... sister?"
I said it without thinking.
Then,
"! Ahahaha... no, that's not it. But well, it's kind of like that, right? Isn't it, ojou?"
"! W-well..."
Ah, Rie-tan's face turned bright red.
They aren't sisters, but they're close enough to be like that, I guess?
"I am a researcher working at Amamiya Value Technology. My workplace is in the basement of this building. So, I received a call from ojou's father saying that the rumored you was here, and that's why I came to greet you."
"I see. But what exactly is Rie-san telling my family and Kisaragi-san about me?"
"Ah...!"
"!"
Rie-tan's face seemed to turn a bit pale.
...No, maybe I'm imagining things?
"Haha! Takeru-kun, that's not okay! Asking something so blunt in front of the person!"
"W-wait... Kanna-san!?"
From her pale face, Rie-tan turned bright red this time.
Her emotions were quite turbulent.
By the way, it's rare for Rie-tan, known as the 'cool beauty' in school, to show such a dramatic reaction.
However, ignoring Rie-tan's flustered state, Kisaragi-san continued the conversation.
"Listen, Takeru-kun. To come all the way home just to talk about you... you understand what that means, right?"
"Huh!?"
No way...!
No way, Rie-tan likes me!?
Calm down, me.
After all, I've just met Rie-tan...
sure, she called me her "savior" after that accident, but does that mean she could fall for me...?
No, no, no, that's impossible!
Because Rie-tan is close with Sagawa!
Just now, I was hit by their 'romantic comedy wave cannon' twice, remember?!
I-I mean, but what if... could there be a chance?
No, wait... calm down!
Um, anyway, let's wrap up this conversation... I could dig my own grave!
"Y-yeah... ahahaha."
"Mm mm. I see you understand. As expected of the man recognized by the ojou!"
For now, the discussion was settled on both sides.
* * *
"So, back to what we were talking about... does this mean that the 3 of us are forming a clan?"
"W-why would you know that?!"
"I can figure that much out. After hearing what was said earlier..."
Well, that might be true, but... this person is impressive.
As I marveled at that,
"Of course! I mean, Takeru! You don't know who this person is?!"
Just a moment ago, Sagawa, who had been knocked out by 'Romantic Comedy Compensation,' threw out such a taunt.
"This person is Kisaragi Kanna, the genius scientist who developed the 'AMAMIYA SYSTEM' at Amamiya Value Technology!"
Sagawa declared this as if it were his own achievement.
Yeah, it was a bit creepy.
However, after hearing Sagawa's explanation, I was simply amazed.
Even I could immediately grasp how incredible that was.
"Ha ha ha, that's misleading, Sagawa-kun. I'm just *one of the developers*, you know? I didn't create it all by myself."
"N-no, but still, Kisaragi-san is an amazing person..."
Still, to think someone my age developed something as incredible as the 'AMAMIYA SYSTEM'...
But to meet such a famous person like this... honestly, if I hadn't teleported to another world and come back, I would have never had the chance to meet them...
Meanwhile, Rie-tan was explaining the situation to Kisaragi-san.
As soon as Kisaragi-san heard that, she immediately started talking, cutting my 'moment of reflection' short.
"So, Takeru-kun and the others are unsure whether to show their faces while doing D-streamer activities... is that right?"
"Yes."
"Yeah, that's right. I think showing your face would... definitely be better."
"Huh?"
"Definitely... better?"
