I, Who Was Reincarnated as an Evil Character With Cheat-Level Stats in an Eroge, Will Live Freely in This Life
A few days passed, and today is Friday.
The test ended without incident, and it was now after school.
As for how the test went, I’d say there were no problems, or rather, it was pretty easy. There weren’t any parts I didn’t understand, so I’m expecting to get a perfect score.
And since I had a date with Kana, I came to the place where I usually had lunch.
I had considered various other places that I thought would be nice, but Kana said that she liked this place where we always spent time together, so we decided to talk here.
Incidentally, I had thought that things might get a little awkward between Kana and me after that, but there was absolutely no need to worry about that.
We didn’t talk openly at school, but she would come to my place during lunch, and we would communicate normally at night.
I did feel a little nervous, but it was only a little, so I thought it was good.
She seems to be studying hard for her tests, too.
What’s a little strange is Miku and Saki’s reaction to me.
Miku sits next to me, so maybe that’s why, but until now, I was the one who always initiated conversations, except for messages, but now she’s the one who talks to me.
Well, it’s mostly about studying, but the fact that she wants me to teach her is nice.
According to Miku, she was able to tell Kana and Saki about her past, and she seems to have completely sorted out her feelings. At the time, I thought her way of thinking was pretty dangerous, so I was really happy to see how much she had changed.
She was very grateful, but I only gave her a little advice, and she was the one who overcame it, so I don’t think she needs to thank me.
As for Saki, there were a couple of times when our eyes met in the morning, and although she was a little shy, she started greeting me.
I think the old Saki would have immediately looked away, so I was really surprised.
In my opinion, Saki was the one I thought would be the hardest to become friends with, but I wonder what happened? I didn’t really think about it that much.
If she’s greeting me, then at least I can be sure that she doesn’t have a negative image of me, so there’s no need to worry about it.
Maybe Kana told them about her confession or something? I thought about it, but she didn’t mention it, and I didn’t plan to either, so I don’t know.
Oh, and there’s one more thing I heard from Kana that’s pretty big news for me.
Apparently, the guys involved in Kana’s event caused trouble and ended up being sent to a juvenile detention center, which became a topic of conversation in Kana’s grandparents’ neighborhood.
Since Kana wasn’t there, Nanashima had encountered those men, but they didn’t even glance at him or speak to him.
He had played with those men in the past, but now they weren’t even friends, so he didn’t show much interest in them either.
Well, since Kana didn’t meet them either, maybe we can say this matter is settled for now.
As I was thinking about that…
“Seito-senpai! Sorry to keep you waiting!”
Kana seemed to have arrived and greeted me cheerfully.
“It’s okay. Let’s talk then.”
“Yes!”
Kana sat down next to me.
“How did the test go?”
“Well, yes… I tried harder than usual, so I’m pretty confident in my own way!!!”
“I see. You tried hard, didn’t you?”
“Yes!!”
I naturally stroked Kana’s head, and she smiled happily.
I don’t really understand why, but Kana seems to like having her head stroked.
Anyway, I was about to get to the point.
It felt weird to keep putting it off.
“Hey, Kana?”
“Yes!”
“This is my first time doing something like this, so I don’t really know how to say it…”
“…”
Kana listened to my words in silence.
In my previous life, I said I had a girlfriend, but it was only for a short time, and above all, I didn’t confess my feelings to her, so it wasn’t like this.
In that sense, I think it’s no exaggeration to say that I have almost no experience in love.
Since I’m like that, I think it’s difficult for me to make a cool confession or response, so I’m going to tell her exactly what I’m thinking.
“I think I’ve said this before, but I really enjoy spending time with Kana and find it truly enjoyable. When Kana is having fun, I feel happy too, and when Kana smiles, I naturally smile as well. Without even realizing it, I felt that the time I spent with Kana had become very important to me, and I want to continue to cherish it in the future.”
“So, that means…”
Kana seemed to sense what I was trying to say, and she said that with wide eyes.
“Um… so about my answer from the other day, I like Kana too, so I really want to date her.”
I looked Kana straight in the eyes as I said that.
“…”
Kana didn’t say anything in response to my answer, but her eyes gradually filled with tears as she said,
“… really… it’s true, isn’t it…?”
“It’s true.”
At that moment, Kana threw her arms around me.
“I’m so happy… I’m really happy…”
I gently hugged Kana as she said that.
“I’m happy too. Let’s stay together forever.”
“Yes!! Please take care of me!!”
Kana looked at me with tears in her eyes and said that with a big smile.
Then we talked happily for a while, and Kana asked me,
“What are we going to do after this?”
“What should we do? I was so busy answering your questions that I hadn’t thought about what to do after that…”
“Then, why don’t we go out and have some fun? I don’t have any specific plans, but I want to go on a date right now!!! As I mentioned earlier, it’s my mother’s birthday, so I have to go home early, but we still have some time left!!!”
I had already heard about this, and she had told me when she said she would give me an answer today.
I suggested postponing it, but Kana said she was ready, so we ended up doing it today.
It seems that she has plans for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so she decided that today was the only option.
“A date… Okay, let’s do it. What about lunch?”
“That’s right! I was so happy to be able to go out with Seito-senpai that I forgot, but let’s go eat first!”
“Let’s go then.”
“Yes!”
So we left school and had a light lunch.
◇
After lunch, we walked hand in hand.
“Seito-senpai! Let’s sit over there and talk for a bit.”
Kana pointed to a park bench and said, so we headed there.
“Seito-senpai, what was your first impression of me?”
As soon as we sat down, Kana asked me that question.
“My first impression… To be honest, it was just a chance encounter, so my impression of that moment is stronger. Well, I thought she was a very cute girl.”
“I guess it’s hard to tell in that situation. But I’ve been interested in Seito-senpai since then.”
“That was when we first met and I helped you, right?”
“Yes!”
At that time… I thought Kana was scared of me, but maybe I was mistaken.
Well, now that I think about it, even if she was scared, she wouldn’t have talked to me the next day and said she wanted to be friends, not just to thank me.
“That’s true, the next day she followed me home from school. That was a bit surprising.”
“Well, I had no choice at the time! It took a lot of courage for me to talk to you!”
When I said that jokingly, Kana replied shyly.
“I’m grateful for that too. Thanks to Kana’s courage, I was able to become friends with her and we’re in this relationship now.”
“Well, that’s fine… Oh, by the way, is it okay to tell Miku-nee and Saki-nee about us? I’ve already consulted with them about my confession…”
“So you did tell them after all.”
“Did you know?”
“Hmm, I’m not sure. It’s not that I knew, but I kind of had a feeling that was the case. Anyway, if Kana wants to tell them about our relationship, it’s totally fine.”
“Thank you! Then I’ll go ahead and tell them!”
◇
After that, we talked and walked around, not really doing anything particularly date-like, but we had a good time and I walked Kana home.
“Seito-senpai! I look forward to spending more time with you in the future!”
When we got close to her house, Kana suddenly said that.
“I look forward to it too.”
“I’m really happy to be able to date Seito-senpai.”
“Well, just so you know, when I was told to make Kana fall for me, I already liked her.”
“Really? I thought you had thought about it after that and this was the result!”
“That’s not true. Kana is the most important person to me.”
It goes without saying that Kana is a special person to me in this world.
She was my first friend and the first person I could trust.
She filled the loneliness I felt many times.
“Seito-senpai…”
When I said that, Kana stopped and turned around.
“What’s wrong?”
“This time, I won’t run away. I’ll say it properly…”
“Say what?”
When I asked that, Kana paused for a moment before saying,
“Can I kiss you?”
Kana’s face was bright red and she looked embarrassed.
She must have mustered up the courage to say it. Thinking about it, Kana was always the one to take action, and I rarely expressed my feelings… From now on, I should be more proactive…
Thinking that, I approached Kana and kissed her lips for a few seconds.
After that, I stepped back and said,
“Are you okay?”
Kana’s face was even redder than before.
“Y-yes… I’m just really nervous… I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. Well, Kana’s house is right there, and it’s getting late, so I should head home.”
“Y-yes!!!”
“See you later.”
I gave Kana a light hug before leaving, and as I was walking away, she waved her hand and said,
“Seito-senpai! Let’s go on a proper date when we have time!”
“Sure…”
I said, waved to Kana, and went home.
“Phew…”
As I walked home, I took a small deep breath.
I had acted normally in front of Kana, but in truth, I was pretty nervous myself.
The reason I said I was going home was partly what I told Kana, but also because I was a little embarrassed myself.
But from now on, life should be more fun… I thought about such things as I walked home.
