My Skills Are Too Strong to Be a Heroine

Festival night (3) Wish to the stars

The starry sky was a spectacular view. Keep your mouth open and look up at your top until your neck hurts. There are stars everywhere in the dark sky.

"Kieeeeeee...."

I thought it looked like Planetarium, but when I saw Takao next door, he looked at the stars with a difficult face.

"... you don't see any stars or constellations in sight... do you think the galaxy is different...?

"Yes, another planetary theory??

Until this time, it was really far away to seriously analyze the situation. When you smile, you look down suspiciously. I pretended not to notice and laid my eyes aside, staring at Mayan, fuahh, Taiichiro, and Shibuya senpai who stood up with a good attitude.

In the middle of the town square, on a simple stage made of logs, the five of us were invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the festival. It's kind of embarrassing to see the people gathered in the town all at once. The mayor, who was looking out at the square a step earlier, took a breath and told him loudly when he saw the crowd cut off.

"Thank you all for your preparations. Before the opening of the meeting, I would like to thank the brave traveller and the disciples of the Great Witch for successfully celebrating the festive evening here... and for the brilliant exorcism that drove the demons away and restored peace to the city!

Wow, the cheers are pouring up, and the applause is just cracking. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad to see the smiles of the people in the town, and we laughed face to face.

"Now, let's start the Starry Night Festival! Forget the cold today and the snow tomorrow and make a fuss! Please refrain from (...) a (...) re (...) of the example until there is a sign from the great witch. And laugh and flush any terrible confession! Don't bleed this year, that's all!

After a somewhat disturbing opening declaration in the second half, the festival was crowded with joy and whistling as the whole square jumped up.

"Ah, Takao, even cold apples! How many do you want?

"Hey, how many?... how much do you eat, Amamiya-san!?

Takao desperately turned against the flow of people if he didn't lose sight of me buried in a crowd in the middle of a street lined with simple shops like a market. But I'm glad I don't have to worry about losing one of their heads.

I wish I had connected my hands, but unfortunately, both hands were buried with food that I bought to buy.

"Fufufufu, it's nonsense to worry about the amount at a festival, Takao. If you use your stomach expansion skills, your worries are nothing but worries."

"That kind of skill...!? What kind of love book is this" gift "...?!

No, it's my own unique skill.

Nevertheless, I wonder if you bought too much. The meat skewer (seems to be reindeer meat) held in my right hand. Tasty) and open one hand with your cheek. and

"Ah, shoot!

"Should I blindfold you anyway...."

It was Takao with a painful head, pointing at the opening of a new store immediately with an empty hand.

Hmm, thank you, Takao, for not having a festive mood. Even though it's a day of frustration, it's useless. I look at the projectile sign and think a little silly. [M] All right.

"Takao, don't you want to fight? How about listening to one thing when you score higher?

Takaya-kun's eyebrows twitched to the word "match". Oh, that's exactly what Senpai Shibuya is so bloody disgusted about. Excellent effect!

"Whatever you say, you might regret it."

"Ahahah, it's like you think you're going to win."

He smiled while burning the melting spirit of the snow, so the shoot-out entries were completed. What I can tell you is that if you're going to play, you should check the rules. Especially in such a different world.

"Well, in the middle ~......"

"Yoo-hoo, ten shots! Full Score Victory!!

When I turned the toy gun around in front of the owner's uncle who pulled it off, I barked with a lot of strength.

A few moments later, the gallery was full of applause and amazement. Fufu, if you have the ability to shoot human beings, this cork plug will jump out at most a few meters, which is tantamount to a kid's play!

At the end of the line of sight, the large circular pattern has a higher score as it goes to the center, with 10 points in the middle. Of course, I hit ten of the ten in the middle. Unfortunately, Takao was in the middle of nine, and the remaining one was slightly out of the middle of nine.

"... Amamiya-san, you used some skills."

"No, I wasn't told not to use it."

Dodging Takayu-kun's gaze with a half-eyed glance, he whistled and whistled.

It seems that there is one prize for each hit in the middle, but since it is a bandit to get nineteen for both of us, I got a cat stuffed toy on my behalf. I'm sure you're free to make Giselle a souvenir.

"Amamiya-san, cat school?

"Yeah, definitely doggy."

"Oh, yeah..." I was kind of depressed. Apparently Takao is a cat. While thinking that our hobbies don't suit each other, we play with the plush toy hand that we hold in our arms.

"Ah, yes, the reward for the winner...."

I remember Takaya-kun telling me to eat his teeth and regret it. Oh, speaking of which, he said that. I said I didn't care because it was a pretext for you to ride in a match.

"I don't have anything in particular, Takao, go ahead."

"Eh?"

"Hmm, well, tell me what you want me to do with anything. Winner Orders"

When I lift my plump hand and point it at you, Takao looks somehow like he won't fall into his heart, and then murmurs little by little.

"I want to go somewhere quiet. I'm tired."

I laughed honestly and said, "I aim to get out of the crowd."

A little off the street, only the moon, stars and snow lights illuminated the area. Listening to the festival's shagging in the distance, we sat down on a large stump. Even my exhaled breath is quickly sucked into the snow. It's very quiet.

"Speaking of which, I didn't see anyone. I hope everybody's having fun."

Maya-chan and Taiichiro were supposed to be getting along (perhaps) and Shibuya-senpai was playing the role of patrol while flying over the sky. Apparently, Giselle's liaison staff also said it was a serious job, but I don't know what it is. Worked and splendid.

"Ah, yeah. That's right."

Takaya-kun said with a feeling of carelessness while drinking the cold apple he bought on the way.

Hmm, I knew it.

"Takao doesn't like festivals very much."

Eh...

"Aren't you very good at being crowded, busy and noisy?

"............ yeah"

I was nodded sorry. I'm sure you took care of me because I was too shy. I wish I didn't have to.

"What a surprise. I was always surrounded by people at school, and it seemed like such fun."

"Not that it wasn't fun...."

I wonder if that's what Shibuya-sen said about euthanasia. I feel sorry for the cold apple stick that I quickly ate because it is difficult to leave the popular body around.

Shortly afterwards, an explosion echoed.

"Wait, hostile attack!?

"No, Amamiya-san, it's empty!

Takao points to the sky as I swing the stick of wood that I was sucking instead of the leftover snow and fireworks I put in the museum. And there,

"... fireworks!?

Dokan, Bagon, it was the big fireworks that were launched into the night sky with no emotional roar. Strangely, one shot at a time is huge, extremely colorful and painful to the eyes. The fireworks seemed to have been fired from outside the town towards the witch's house.

"Hello, Giselle-san's magic...?

This is what you're supposed to do at the festival! But it was an incredible Las Vegas fireworks that I wanted you to learn a little bit more about loneliness and itching. A bombing.

Soon the explosion stopped, and the elegant voice of the example echoed in the quiet night sky.

"... I'm starting my regular confession time now. All of you, bury all secrets in the depths of the snow this evening. I forbid to blame. Laughing and flushing anything. Now, please be fully exposed."

Giselle's voice, which could not be concealed, was probably magically spreading throughout the town.... I thought it was a strange tradition, but maybe this person wasn't the originator?? It was a good opportunity to be stunned, and I raised my hand and told Takao.

I'm going to Amamiya first.

Ah, yes.

I coughed up Kohong in a distant atmosphere and decided to reveal my secret.

"Takao, do you think I came to this world?

"Huh? After school, it was called by the voice of God just like me...."

I shake my neck to the side and deny it.

"I couldn't hear you. I've never been chosen by a god, and I really don't deserve to be a brave man like everyone else."

With his brilliant mind in the blink of an eye, many thoughts are unfolding now. I continued with pity that there would be no answer.

"That's why we're not all here with a sense of justice and readiness. I'm sorry if you think that way. You're not really in a position to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a brave man, are you?"

And he smiled at me, and he said, "Well, how?" Takao bends his neck.

... no, no, I'm chasing you, but if I tell you that, you'll find out the most important secret. I laughed ambiguously and pardoned.

"I'll keep that to myself one day. That's all."

Phew, look up at the starry sky and exhale. Yeah, it's refreshing. Thank you, Mr. Giselle, and still looking down with pity on Keen's ears, Takao opened his eyes in a hurry with a wind chirp.

"Wow. What?

"Ah, no, I have to go after my first move...."

Ritchicky

I shook my head to the side and Takao said that he had made up his mind.

"It's a hallucination from a twin demon on Akatsuki Island....."

It took a few seconds for me to be cut out of nostalgia and pull out my memory.... Akatsuki... Rice Ball... Takumi... Sweet Castle...

Ahhhh, that happened. I remembered the hallucinations I had never seen before and I blushed without thinking. Speaking of which, it's true that Takao was obscured what he saw.

"I saw Amamiya-san give it to me."

"Eh, me?

Hey, what have you done, Aria the Hallucination!? What terrible thing... did you do... in a cannibal showdown? It would be a huge victory at such a margin, but what an outrage!! Heaven!

When I was about to stand up to get the rest of the snow, Takao groaned with a bitter face that he didn't like to remember.

"The dream of saying 'it's not what I thought'...."

"Huh? That's it?

What, I sat back and clapped, and Takao turned away with his eyes narrowed.

"That's all. Above"

"Well, that's the truth, and you're going to show it in hallucinations?

When I was taken back by the nervousness, Takao looked at me with a faint look and trembled as if he had hurt his heart.

"Ji, is this a fact?

"Yeah, because Takao-kun from school and Takao-kun from another world were totally different. It's not what I thought."

Gahn, I dropped my shoulders to the point where I could hear the sound.

"If you think it's refreshing, it's unexpectedly stubborn and unfriendly."

"Gh......"

"I thought it would be nice to everyone, but depending on who you're dealing with, your attitude will change considerably."

"Guu......"

"I think you're a gentleman. You're unexpectedly mean, you fight fast, you fight in vain, you're gloomy."

"(No grunting)"

"I thought he was the perfect person, but he made me cry all the time, and he wasn't there when I was pinching."

"(insect breathing)"

And then, when I tried to continue, it almost burned out in pure white, so I interrupted. Shit, have you mercilessly strolled around where you shouldn't have decided...?

"But I don't care! Do you think I'd rather be Takao now?

"The only bad comfort is applying crude salt to the wound...."

"No, I won't paint it. It's not cucumber and salt is useless!... no, because when I was in school, Takao was kind of a distant person on the clouds, but now I feel like I'm standing on the ground. That's why I like Takao better now."

Takao looked at me with his half-hearted eyes and snorted. I don't know if it's because of the cold or another reason, but it's kind of funny and laughing, and I add what I think.

"That's why Takao is fine as it is. Thank you for telling me."

Takao stared at me with wrinkles between his eyebrows, then raised his gaze to the starry sky and murmured with a faint voice.

"... I probably just hate you a little bit."

Eh?

"Too straight as an idiot."

"Stupid??

"Because it reminds me of my refraction... but..."

Like making a wish, Takao smiles bitterly, gently closing his eyes.

"When I look at you, I wonder if I can be like that someday. That's why I like being with Amamiya-san."

……………

Dozens of seconds to open your eyes and fall in love with your side.

"............ wow!?

"Wow!?

They both calm down at the same time and are followed by a grand reflection of each other's shameful remarks.

Fu, did you say such a terrible thing because of the atmosphere!?

"Ah, no, you know, I didn't mean to be fun with you!?

"Ah, in the sense that I'm better than before, never in the big sense!?

If you're making such a fuss like an elementary school student, the sky will sound like an explosion again and our screams will be swallowed up.

Yes, it's over!! This year's Starry Night Festival is here! All of you, work to clean up, and get some sleep before the harsh winter starts tomorrow. Live another year carefully, feeding on today's fun. That's it!

With Giselle's generous declaration, the festival glamorously closed its doors with fireworks.

It was us who had been making our hearts pound for a while, but neither of us went out to clean up, screaming and walking out into the center of town with clumsy moves like a robot.

... this secret will only be revealed once we have successfully saved the other world.

While renewing my determination, I somehow shook my head to the expectation that it would sprout in my chest and cooled the hot sardines with cold air.
