Akechi Hideyori Questions

Ennoia vanished and I was left in a heavy mood.

I don’t feel like doing anything else today.

I picked up the notebook.

.

So Ennoia already read this huh……

There’s probably no way around it since her existence itself is already irregular but there’s no way I can let Emi or Takeru read this.

I guess I will have to seal this in another over-the-top hiding place again.

.

What will happen to me 3 years from now I wonder…..?

I can’t help but get the feeling that I would die before graduating high school again though.

.

.

“……Haa.”

.

.

Let’s just tell Madoka [Sorry, I don’t feel like it today] and stay in for today.

.

Planning to spend the entire day in bed, I picked up my phone.

It was when I tapped on the notification bar.

.

.

.

Akechi-kun (*´ω｀*)

Let’s meet at 11♪(/ω＼*)

Instead of the usual riverbank, let’s meet at my place today(*￣∇￣)ノ Yeah!

We will talk a lot okay! (ノ´∀｀*) Happy Happy.

.

.

.

“WHO THE HECK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE!?”

.

.

The cold messages you sent me when we went out to buy Takeru’s birthday present are still in the logs you know!

.

.

.

From Nodoka.

Seiko-chan is coming too.

That’s all.

.

.

.

Give her back!

Give us back the Dark Side Madoka!

.

.

“Ha!?”

.

.

Us…….?

A possibility came to my mind.

.

Just like how the original Hideyori still exists inside me.

What if the original Tsugaru Madoka is still alive inside Madoka too? Did she get taken over by the original…..?

.

That would perfectly explain the change in Madoka right?

That’s it, this is the original lesbian Tsugaru Madoka.

.

Wait, if that’s the case how can she still talk about the game with me?

Does that mean I’m wrong?

.

Just what on earth happened to Madoka?

Perhaps Ennoia has gotten to her as well?

But she’s not a Gift Holder. It shouldn’t be possible for Ennoia to interfere with her right……?

.

I replied to her messages with a sticker.

And the reply I got from that one dull sticker was [KyahWaWa (／▽＼)♪]

I mean, what even is that reply…….

You didn’t give me a single reply when I spammed you with 10 stickers straight before right!

.

.

I planned to cancel today’s meeting because of my encounter with Concept-san but there’s no way I can tell her something like that in this atmosphere.

I’m such a wimp I wanted to cry……..

.

When I was still wondering how I should respond to Madoka’s reply, I recalled my mother’s words from my previous life.

[[Mitsuhide, if you can’t understand something then there’s no use thinking about it alone. ……..So, just give up!]]

.

.

No, don’t just give up like that!

Mom was certainly the type to give up quick though…….

She’s not helpful at all.

.

.

I guess I should try my father’s lesson next.

[[Mitsuhide, there are times in life when you won’t get your answer no matter how hard you try to find it alone. I know what it’s like. I’ve been thinking and thinking……, before I knew it I’ve already turned 50…….]]

.

.

Then put more effort into it, damn!

Thinking about it now, my parents were pretty free-spirited huh……

It’s weird how such a free-spirited couple could give birth to a square like me.

.

.

“Ahh, it’s no good…..I don’t know what to do no matter how much I think about it! Fine, Netizens, give me your wisdom!”

.

.

Since I’m a modern kid, I decided to rely on the trusty world of the internet.

Let’s try Yahoo! Answers.

The amazing thing about this site is that people from all over the world can answer your question in real-time, it’s a God-Tier site.

I post a question on Yahoo! Answers.

(TLN: I think Yahoo! Answers shut down last year right…….)

.

.

Real_Honnouji

[Recently my classmate who used to be very cold to me started acting a lot warmer. It’s creepy since I can’t make head or tail of it. How should I deal with her?]

.

I typed that in and hit the post button.

With this, the wisdom of people around the world is at my fingertip.

This question is super important as it will help me adjust to the new Madoka.

I should be able to arrive at Madoka’s place within 30 minutes and it’s 10 right now so I want some good answers by 10:30.

.

.

“Oh? That was fast.”

.

.

Receiving a notification, I tried reloading the page.

.

.

Night_Noon (TLN: If you know you know.)

[If a person who used to be very cold turned warm then it means that person has come back to life right!? That’s amazing! Please teach me how to revive a person!]

.

.

“Ha?”

.

.

I got a reply from someone called Night_Noon but it seems this person misunderstood that I was talking about a dead person.

No matter how you read this, it’s clear that I’m requesting relationship advice right…….

.

When I was thinking about how to reply to Night_Noon-san I got a reply from another person.

.

.

Eternal_Miya

[The person I like also asked me the same question just before Golden Week. It’s just right so allow me to give me my answer. If you got creeped out by her actions then it’s better to stay away! Please do your best (*´∀`)♪]

.

.

“I see, this person has the same idea as Eien-chan when I consulted with her the other day. It’s pretty embarrassing imagining Eien-chan saying she likes me though.”

.

.

I started blushing in front of my PC.

.

If it’s creepy then I should stay away huh……

When I was waiting to get a few more opinions, I got another answer.

.

.

CoffeeChild

[I don’t usually befriend people so I think it’s better to ignore them.]

.

.

“This person definitely has a communication problem…….but ignoring the change and retaining the status quo is also an option huh……”

.

.

I lightly brushed off Night_Noon-san and thanked Eternal_Miya-san and CoffeeChild-san for their answers.

When I was done replying to them, another answer came in.

.

.

MountainBook_Daigo

[Isn’t it because she started seeing you romantically?]

.

.

“Seeing me romantically? That Madoka?”

.

.

With an answer from a different angle, I started to consider the possibility.

Certainly, when a girl treats you kindly, you would think that she might have a feeling for you.

If the said girl isn’t that Dark Side Madoka then I would definitely entertain that possibility.

I sent MountainBook_Daigo-san a brief thank you message and received a couple more answers.

.

.

ShrubLord_Yurika (TLN: Honestly, I’m not sure about this one)

[I believe treating her like you usually do is the best.]

.

.

ShimaShimaShima

[I used to be afraid of people when they treat me coldly so I think that if she treats you warmly then you should do the same. Sorry if that came out rude. (^^;]

.

.

There are all kinds of opinions

The world is a big place after all.

This will be helpful.

When I thought that I got enough answers and was about to shut down the thread, a new notification came in.

.

.

TsugaruKaikyo_En

[That person is definitely in love with you! Please go out with her!]

.

.

That came out quite strong.

That said, while I send the thank you reply to TsugaruKaikyo_En, I’m still at a loss on what’s the best answer here.

.

.

“I guess it’s this person huh.”

.

.

Deciding to go with the answer from the person whose name gave me the most impact, I left home.

.

.

.

Matan_Sulsul_Tarzan

[Tarzan wouldn’t worry about something like that!]

.

.

I fell in love with Tarzan-san’s manly answer.

.

.

Yahoo! Answers really is a God-tier site. As expected from a platform where I can obtain wisdom from people around the world.

The world is such a big place!

I already feel like I’m connected to people around the globe.
