Act 2 - Summer Break
11-3
The ring that appeared was floating in the air.
[It is called the [Ring of Substitution].]
Explain the Demon King.
[As the name suggests, if the wearer is mortally wounded, the ring will substitute the wearer, and will take the damage for once.]
"The Ring of Substitution......."
In other words, it can nullify death for once.
[But it is not effective against natural death. So be careful.]
The depths of the demon king's eye socket glowed again as he said that.
[And I have one more thing to give you.]
"What?"
[This's a pure gift. What I am about to give you is also a request.]
A black radiance burst before my eyes.
A key appeared, blood-red in color.
[There is camouflage magic in the ruins of Remuscelia to prevent intruders from entering. With this key, you can break through the camouflage and enter.]
"The ruins have......?"
I raised my eyebrows at the Demon King's explanation.
[You were going to explore the ruins of Remuscelia to find a way to hone your powers, weren't you?]
Indeed, I was.
"W-why...... Rintaro and Azusa are together......!?" (Yuusuke)

I'm overclocking my brain in front of a visibly flustered Kakihara.
The situation can be described as a "fighting scene" situation. The best way to handle the situation is to choose the right words and the right way to say them.
"Ermm, Yuusuke-kun――――." (Rintaro)
"I was asking for love consultation. I have something I really want to consult Shidou-kun." (Azusa)
I almost spewed it out.
It's bad――――but in this situation, maybe it's a good job.
Love consultation. Yes, let's get on with this.
"Right. I told you both the other day that I have a girlfriend, didn't I? That's why Nikaido-san, who mistakenly thought I was experienced in love, wanted to consult me." (Rintaro)
"I-is that so? I thought the two of you were getting close without my knowledge! Hahaha!" (Yuusuke)
Hey Kakihara, your laugh is fading. Don't force yourself to laugh.
Anyway, with this reaction, there is an atmosphere of not being fully trusted. Shall I push it one more step?
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell the two of you what we were discussing. Especially you, Yuusuke-kun!" (Rintaro)
"M-me⁉" (Yuusuke)
Guess it, Kakihara Yuusuke. And misunderstand it.
The fact that I can't tell especially you mean that what we were discussing is about you.
The fact that you were mentioned in the love consultation means that Nikaido is aware of you in some small way.
It's all just a misunderstanding! Please!
"A-ah! So that's what this is about! Then it can't be helped. Yeah. I won't ask any further." (Yuusuke)
――――Great.
Kakihara looks convinced about something, crosses his arms, and nods his head up and down repeatedly.
It went too smoothly and unexpectedly, and the corners of my mouth almost hang open. I try not to let that happen as I approach my seat.
"......? I'm not――" (Azusa)
"Oopsie! Nikaido-san's is ginger ale, right? Here you go!" (Rintaro)
"Eh? Th-thank you." (Azusa)
Before she says anything else, I put the ginger ale in front of her.
I am worried about the future, but if I can get through today, I should be able to avoid seeing these guys for a while. This summer should bring progress in Kakihara's love life in one way or another. If the situation changes, I will no longer have to worry about Kakihara.
Until that happens, you must endure, Shidou Rintaro.
"HAAAAAH......" (Rintaro)
Letting out a sigh, I get on the train and move to the nearest station where my home is located.
One of the good things about moving here is that there is a large supermarket between the station and my apartment. In addition, it is open 24 hours a day. With such convenience, can't move from here anymore.
I stock up on onions, pork ribs, and udon noodles, which I often use, also some seasonings along with them.
Rei is a ketchup lover and consumes a lot of ketchup. Therefore, I buy two more and finish shopping for the day.
While shaking the plastic bag, I walk back to the front of the apartment.
"Hmm......?" (Rintaro)
"Hello~ I am Bujangga from pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id, Yoroshiku!"
At a certain time, there are creatures that walk by two feet. These creatures can be divided into two by gender. These creatures are surprisingly able to pick something using things called hands.
And on a certain day, two of these creatures meet.
"Halloo~ I am Furujakka, ndesu! Nice to meet you!"
"Y, yes. Nice to meet you too, I am Fuurawan."
"Fuurawan-chan ka? Ii no namae."
"S, sangkyu."
The two greet each other due of their faces are facing each other.
They speak, breathe, blink, sweat, and so.
And after a long time passes,
"!?"
"Kyaa~ Furujakka-kyun."
"Daijoubu ka? Fuurawan-chan."
"D, daijoubu... desu."
"Mmm."
"Doushita no?"
"Fuurawan-chan no kaori, suuuuggoku WANGY, hmmmmmppppsshhh ahhhh wangyyyy."
"Mou~ Furujakka-kyun no eeccchi~."
On a certain day, these two meet and have lunch because they are hungry.
The boy orders fried rice while the girl orders a serve of seasoned rice being processed by frying.
For the drinks, the boy orders hot chocolate while the girl orders a cup of chocolate that has not been cold yet.
They eat their food.
They also feed some spoons with each other.
They then having a leisure exchange.
"Ikehh, yaru?"
"Damee~"
"IkehhHH!"
"..."
"Ikeh, tanoshii, kimochii, ore, ganbarimasu!!!"
"Mouu~"
"Dame ka?"
"..."
"Dame nanoka."
"Ee, haayaakuuu~"
The two of them are having exercise, training, and workout, then.
When they finished, then they restarted.
And when they finished, the boy pleaded for the second.
Then when they finished, this time is the girl who asked the third.
And when they finished, the boy once again pleaded for the fourth.
Then when they finished, the girl also once again asked for the fifth.
And so on.
◆◆◆
On the other occasion,
On a day that is not a night.
That day the sun is shining brightly because it's a day and 12:00 o'clock.
The day is bright and the sun has not been set yet.
The breeze can be felt due to the air is flowing.
As he is breathing, a certain boy is approaching a girl.
"Yaa, kitten-chan, can I have your namae?"
"S, su, suteki~. Ah, hai. Fuurawan desu."
"Fuurawan-chan, huh. What a kirei no namae. By the way, watashi no namae is Badz Zheengan. Watashi wa Son of a Beach. Watashi came from The Pangea Selatan. Diligent in setsuyaku. Ketsueki type is I, I for Ikkehmen. Watashi no hobby wa breathing. Yoroshiku."
"Yoroshiku, Badz Zheengan-san."
"Fuurawan-chan, watashi no yubi to kimi no chawan, let's have made karera meet and greet."
"Hai."
"Watashi-tachi will have much tanoshi."
They have a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok.
When they have done of their a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok, then they re-doing again.
When they finished again, the girl pleaded for the second.
Then when they finished, this time is the boy who asked the third.
And when they finished, the girl once again pleaded for the fourth.
Then when they finished, the boy also once again asked for the fifth.
And so on.

"Fuurawan-chaaannn!!! Ikanaide!!!!."
"Gomen ne, Furujakka-kun."
"Dameee, Fuurawan-chaannnn!!!"
"Sayonara, Furujakka-kun."
"Ima, ore wa, Furujakka wa, pemuda tuna asmara dearimasu."
Who can stand to endure this situation
Who doesn't feel the loss
You leave me when I'm so in love
When I'm crazily in love
you choose another guy
Who can stand being dumped
Whose heart not hurt
The memories that have been passed
I keep it deep inside my heart
We are not one anymore
It's alright, I'll get through the days strong-heartedly
My wish is only one, be safe and sound
I can only be able to harbor this, from day to night
Because I know I'm just nobody
It's alright, I'll harbor this feeling inside my heart
I'll keep wish you live well
All I can do is hope you won't regret
Goodbye and thank you
"AWOKWOKAOWKOKAOKWKAOWKOAKOK!!!"
How should I explain this to my parents
We had gone through this long
But ended up breaking up
You are tempted by another guy's love
You yourself had been declared it
Living our love until our old days
Won't two-timing, I'm the only one for you
But now there's another guy inside your heart
It's as if the morning is cloudy
Then the day is rainy
In the afternoon you hurt me
And in the night I cry for you
I can only imagine
All of those had been just memories now
I rode you back, went through the way
Hugging under the rain
But now you are choosing
To be hugged by another guy
Do you not sense
How heavy-heartedly I am
Have to lost my loved one
Don't wanna leave my house
I have no appetite
If I'm not fed
As I'm about to unlock the door to my house, my phone in my pocket suddenly beeps a notification.
I check it and find a LINE message in the name of Kakihara Yuusuke.
[Wanna go to the pool with us this Wednesday?]
――――Heck, what's really going on?
"Hey, whatever sounds good....... I'm starving, so why don't we get something to eat first?" (Ryuuji)
"You're right. Since we're here, do you mind if we sit down together?" (Yuusuke)
Both Nikaido and I shake our heads at Kakihara's idea.
The meal itself is already over, but it feels bad to leave now.
Besides, I'll have to stay here so that Nikaido won't say anything unnecessary.
"That helps. Since this is lunchtime so many people are coming in." (Yuusuke)
Kakihara and Doumoto take their seats.
Kakihara, perhaps as a gesture of gratitude, sends me a surreptitious wink. Seriously, I don't want it, so don't do it.
A short while later, the menu they ordered is brought to the table.
Only in front of Doumoto there is a mountain of food, is he seriously planning to eat all of these? If so, he's not inferior to Rei――――No, I should be surprised that she can head-to-head with this big and athletic guy. Yep, I should.
"I'm a little surprised. Before I know it, Shidou and Yusuke were calling each other by their given names." (Ryuuji)
"It was during the tripartite meeting that we started calling each other by name. We were in the same boat having the bipartite meeting, so we had time to talk while we were waiting." (Yuusuke)
I nod at Kakihara's explanation.
The fact that he was able to close the distance in such a short period of time, I have to say that he is indeed the pinnacle in the caste of our grade.
"Aah, I see. Then let me call you Rintaro too! Since I'm here!" (Ryuuji)
"Eh? Ah, okay. I don't mind." (Rintaro)
I don't get to his sense, but I allow it anyway.
Even if we call each other by name, I don't think it necessarily leads to a good friendship. So I think he can at least call me what he wants.
I can feel the fleeting yet envious tone in her voice, making me unable to say anything.
It'll be impossible for me and Rinka to go to the fireworks display together.
The people around will definitely notice.
Even if Rinka were to disguise herself, the result will be the same.
It's different from walking around town.
The crowds of people are completely different.
Moreover, Rinka says she wants to wear a yukata.
......It's really a pity, but it's a dream that won't come true.
"I-I'm sorry. I said something that might have soured the mood." (Rinka)
"It's okay. Please don't apologize. I want to go to the fireworks show with Rinka too." (Kazuto)
"Kazuto-kun....... Thank you." (Rinka)
"Well, about that. Let's look forward to the fireworks display on the Black Plains." (Kazuto)
"Fufu, you're right. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the operation." (Rinka)
She smiles lightly, as if she has regained a little bit of her cheer.

......But, I knew it.
After all, she must want to go to the real fireworks show with me.
Wear a yukata and go around the stalls.......
I want to make that wish of Rinka's come true.
But what do I have to do?
I have a feeling that I need to do something about it.......
"The boat is ready. Let's get out to sea as soon as possible." (Rinka)
"Roger that." (Kazuto)
"In that case, I can call you Rintaro-kun, too!?" (Azusa)
"I'm sorry, but I'd appreciate it if you refrain from calling me that way, since it makes her a little cranky when girls do." (Rintaro)
"Ah...... I see." (Azusa)
Nikaido seems to see what I mean when she sees my desperate eyes.
From her point of view, I would look like a guy who just wants to look good in front of them. In fact, I have to keep her mouth shut about what I have just said, so there should be nothing suspicious about this.
Phew, thank goodness. I almost had Kakihara staring at me like a devil.
I wonder why Nikaido calls Kakihara by his surname, even though they've known each other longer than I have?
"......Then, I'd better go home now." (Rintaro)
I check the time on my phone and tell them.
I plan to cook an after-work dinner for Rei this evening. I still have some food, but there are a few things I want to buy to avoid having to go out multiple times.
Frankly, I still have time to spare, but it's a good excuse to get rid of the guilt of leaving first. Besides, the three of them would have more to talk about if I wasn't around, which I'm not usually with them.
"Shidou-kun, thank you for today." (Azusa)
"No problem. If you need anything else, just let me know." (Rintaro)
I leave Nikaido with these words as a courtesy and put the 2,000 yen on the table.
Kakihara and Doumoto came over to complicate things, but I consider my statement to her that I would buy her a drink to be a live one. The order for the two of us is not even close to 2,000 yen, but I'll consider the remainder as an apology to Kakihara.
"Please pay for me and Nikaido-san with this. You can keep the change." (Rintaro)
"Eh, Is it okay?" (Azusa)
"It's okay. That's what we were originally going to do. Besides, I wanted to say keep the change at least once." (Rintaro)
"W-why...... Rintaro and Azusa are together......!?" (Yuusuke)
I'm overclocking my brain in front of a visibly flustered Kakihara.
The situation can be described as a "fighting scene" situation. The best way to handle the situation is to choose the right words and the right way to say them.
"Ermm, Yuusuke-kun――――." (Rintaro)

Hey Kakihara, your laugh is fading. Don't force yourself to laugh.
Anyway, with this reaction, there is an atmosphere of not being fully trusted. Shall I push it one more step?
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell the two of you what we were discussing. Especially you, Yuusuke-kun!" (Rintaro)
"M-me⁉" (Yuusuke)
Guess it, Kakihara Yuusuke. And misunderstand it.
The fact that I can't tell especially you mean that what we were discussing is about you.
The fact that you were mentioned in the love consultation means that Nikaido is aware of you in some small way.
It's all just a misunderstanding! Please!
I walk out of the restaurant, making some kind of banter.
The moment I'm alone, I feel a sudden surge of exhaustion.
The risk of Nikaido leaking information about my relationship with Rei to the public is now infinitesimally small. I'm sure she was convinced by our distant relative relationship, and although it's not fair, she won't do anything to make me dislike her for the time being.
"HAAAAAH......" (Rintaro)
Letting out a sigh, I get on the train and move to the nearest station where my home is located.
