Sasaki Emi spoils Misuzu

The current number of the Western Army’s members is mind-boggling.

However, since a lot of them still do not know each other, they decided to start with a self-introduction.

Then who should go first? After a small deliberation, it was decided that they would start with their leader, Emi and continue clockwise according to their seats.

.

.

“I’m Sasaki Emi! I like fashion and cooking, I think. The person I love is Hideyori-kun!…….will that do?”

.

.

She’s a little embarrassed to do that in front of Risa and Madoka who she’s been friends with since elementary school but since this is her first time meeting Mitsuki, she wants to give her a lasting impression.

.

.

“Fashion and cooking huh………Emi, you’re trying to intimidate us with womanly charms aren’t you.”

“Yes, you there, keep quiet!”

.

.

Emi silents Sakuya.

.

.

“Hou, so you’re Sasaki Emi huh.”

“Yes. Can I call you Mitsuki? Nice to meet you!”

“Umu. nice to meet you too, Emi.”

.

.

Mitsuki was satisfied that she got to the point where they could call each other by their first names immediately.

After that, she muttered [Right.] while staring at Emi’s face.”

.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is it the face? No, the atmosphere? For some reason, you’re really similar to a girl in my class.”

“Mitsuki-san thinks so too right? I also felt that Emi-san is really similar to Eimi-san too.”

“Eimi…….”

.

.

When Mitsuki and Haruka made it clear what they were talking about, Emi went [I see].

Risa and Towa on the other hand frowned and went [Who?].

.

.

“Eimi-chan is actually my cousin.”

“Hou, I see. As I thought it was just my imagi—–………What!?”

“People can look ali——-…….EH!?”

“That’s some nice reaction.”

.

.

Yurika teased Mitsuki and Haruka whose mind was blown at the fact that Emi and Eimi are related to each other.

[Eh? Really?] Haruka continued.

.

.

“It seems the house I live in originally belonged to Emi-chan’s family too. Our families are that close.”

“I can’t believe it……..I just thought that your look and extrovert-ness were similar.”

“If it’s extrovert-ness then I’m no match for Eimi-chan you know.”

.

.

Ever since she was a child, she has seen Eimi saying whatever she wanted without minding her tone even against adults. Although Eimi’s birthday is just a little earlier than hers, she actually kind of respects her for that.

She is more outgoing than Emi but she’s quite cautious about who she’s friends with so the number of close friends she has is even fewer than Emi’s.

In her own class, Eimi doesn’t really go out of her way to get closer to the other girls let alone the boys.

[Ah, that’s right.] She still doesn’t exactly know who Eimi is but Risa muttered as though she just realized something.

.

.

“That Eimi-san. Since she used to live in Emi-san’s house, does that mean she used to know Akechi-kun who lives next door?”

.

.

“You live next door to Hideyori-sama!?”

“It’s going to get complicated so calm down first!”

.

.

Misuzu immediately addressed that new information but Towa stopped her from pursuing the topic.

.

.

“Neither Hideyori-kun nor Eimi-chan ever brought this up though………Maybe they don’t know each other…….?”

“Right. I was worrying that all my friends are going to be in the Western Army at this rate.”

“D, Don’t say that…………as expected, it wouldn’t be funny if even my cousin is a part of this……..”

.

.

[Anything but that……..] Emi repeatedly prayed in her heart.

.

.

“…………..”

.

.

Only Madoka who knows how the game story unfolded knows that Hideyori and Eimi have known each other since they were young. Feeling guilty, she cast her eyes down.

.

.

“Then let’s keep going clockwise like this. Next is Misuzu.”

“What, make it Towa instead.”

“It doesn’t make a difference if you are second or third right! Just introduce yourself!”

“Can’t be helped then……….”

.

.

Misuzu was a little overwhelmed at the sheer number of people here but she continued in a determined manner.

.

.

“Fukamori Misuzu. Misuzu’s future husband is Hideyori-sama, Mitusu’s type is Hideyori-sama, and the person Misuzu admires the most is Hideyori-sama!”

“Add something more about yourself will you!?”

.

.

Emi retorted at Misuzu’s self-introduction.

.

.

“Sorry, Emi. Misuzu doesn’t have anything else…….”

“Then your life up until now is just crazy! Let’s play with each other a lot from now on so we can discover your charms together!”

“Emi~~……..

“Yes, yes, don’t cry.”

.

.

Emi gently hugs Misuzu and pats her back to comfort her.

Misuzu, who had little experience being treated like this, doesn’t know what to do but to allow herself to get spoiled.

.

.

“And Eimi is supposed to be even more outgoing than this huh. Just what kind of person is she?”

“Ahaha……..Eimi-chan isn’t the type that would spoil you like this, you know. Her communication skills are on another level though.”

.

.

Hearing Haruka’s Eimi vs Emi comparison, Sakuya let out a voice of admiration.

.

.

“So this Eimi must be a hundred times stronger than me then.”

“Sakuya-senpai. 100 times 0 is still 0 you know.”

“If my communication skills are at 0 then I might secretly be super outgoing right!?”

.

.

Sakuya replied to Nodoka’s poisonous retort with pure optimism.

While wondering when she will get her turn, Madoka sighed.

Before the conversation derailed any further, the person next to Misuzu finally started their self-introduction.

.

.

“Next is my turn! I’m Miyamura Towa! Studying is my forte so even if Hideyori-san doesn’t work, I can support him by myself. My goal is to study a lot and support Hideyori-san in the future!”

“Wait a minute. Towa already knows everyone right. Skipped. Next.”

“Aren’t you too harsh with me……….”

.

.

Sakuya stepped in and skipped Towa’s turn.
