One of several canteens on campus.
Ethel Tiner sat in a seat separated by a wooden partition.
In the seat opposite the table, Hayato Tennai, a friend and party member, and her child-friendly Reika Akano were lined up, and the child-friendly girl was slightly peeled.
"Hey, I'm sorry I called you suddenly.We were just playing together. "
"I don't mind. It was an emergency, wasn't it?
Mu
"I'll make it up to you next time...."
Tennai smiled bitterly at Linghua, who turned his face against the words.
From Ethel, who was in front of me, I could see that Linghua's mouth was slightly smeared.
Ethel didn't know how happy he felt even if he only cared about it, but he felt a little sorry for what he did.
But I have to tell him what to tell him, and I have a hunch I have to tell him early, especially about the man.
"Actually, I was asked to do this by Heaven."
For a moment, Ethel saw Linghua sitting next to him.
When I noticed the gaze, Tennai agreed to it small.
She knows. It's okay.
"That's right.When I was able to wake up, I woke up Hisashi Sakurai. "
"Ah... I see.So, what did he look like?
"Before I ask you one thing, what are you going to do with him?
Heaven frowned at Ethel's inquiry.
I wanted him to see if he was the same reincarnated person as me, and although he wanted to clarify what kind of stance he was, I could not say that to her, the original character.
I sometimes say that I don't know how to react if I am informed of the existence of the reincarnated person or the original work, and I didn't like to tell it so that my current relationship would be stubborn and I couldn't get cooperation.
But Ethel's questions are serious, and it would be dishonest not to answer them.
"I need to see you for a minute.Whether he's someone I know or not... that's what I want to know. "
"You want to make sure it's an old acquaintance?
"That's it. The name Hiroshi Sakurai is common, but I was worried that it would be the same age."
Hmm? Did you know someone named Sakurai?
"Linghua, just as a woman has a relationship, a man has a relationship with a man."
"If you say so, I'll have to convince you."
In the end, I decided not to deceive Heaven.
Although what he was saying was a fact in itself, Ethel felt suspicious about what he said without showing its specificity, but I was convinced for the time being that it would be rude to step too far into the person who had just been admitted to school and met.
"That's what it is. I was hoping if I saw him and thought something strange was going on, I'd pull my hand... but I don't know if it's only in the sky."
"Was that what Ethel said?
"Are you crazy or, in a word, 'creepy'?
Ethel talked as objectively as possible about the incident in the hospital room while looking at his face.
Knowing from the moment I woke up when I was supposed to meet you that I was a money keeper, that I used it to catch the pace of my conversation.
An attitude in which a number of words that are directed at you are not meaningful, but are often said to be victims of the money you are likely to do.
If you think of yourself as just a crazy freak, you can see that you were hired by someone to monitor Sakurai.
Let's just say they're all standoffs that you can't do without a deep understanding of someone called Ethel Tiner.
Is it something that you can understand in a few moments after you wake up the first person you meet?And the impression of Ethel was "creepy guy who doesn't want to get involved."
"I don't want to get involved as much as possible, but some people think it's bad to leave it alone.Perhaps that's what Chairman Hikigaki thought and met him in person.Perhaps this impression of me having only met a few times led Senpai Hitogaki to peek deeper and argue?
"That's right, that's the guy...."
Tennai was almost certain that Sakurai was reborn and knew the original game.
Otherwise, both the impression Ethel had and the behavior of seeing her would be convincing.
However, his vigilance toward Sakurai also rose.
At least he doesn't think about the impact of his knowledge, and he takes actions and behaviors that make it impossible to complain if he does what is best to be treated as a freak… That is, he thinks he is the type to go my way without worrying about the world.
Heaven exhaled at the increase in worries and put weight on the back.
As I watched the situation, I had a look as if Ethel had perceived something, but Heaven didn't notice it.
"(I feel like I've got a bad feeling about this...)"
"For now, I understand. I'll see you later."
"You don't have to.If that's what you hate, I think it's better not to get involved. "
"I hope it's not that kind of guy... well, sometimes men don't leave.If there's really nothing I can do about it, I'll count on you. "
"Well, in the meantime, the contract has expired!Can I get a reward? Why don't you buy me a drink?
I was worried from my conscience, and at the next moment, I had a dry smile on Ethel, who was turning my palm back into money.
I wanted to say that it was a part that people didn't like, but I swallowed words out of sympathy just knowing her background badly, and all that came out instead was a love laugh.
"I think that's why people don't like Ethel."
"It's a little harsh, huh?Nobody cares about his money, right?I'm just saying that it's a little more affectionate than people, it's out of my mind!
That being said, Reika Akano, who doesn't know such circumstances, said so straight away.
Ethel said deliberately, "I'm hurt!While returning the gesture, I could see that I was enjoying interacting with Linghua.
While saying something, Tennai thought that if they could get along well, it would be no problem, but he thought about the contents of his wallet.
