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 before I knew it, it was Saturday.
Today, I had plans to hang out with Kana in the afternoon, so I finished cleaning up in the morning and was now outside.
I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes early, but Kana was already there.
It was the first time I had seen Kana in her casual clothes… although I had seen her in games, she was still stylish and cute. Her school uniform was nice too.
“Good morning, Kana. You’re early.”
I spoke to Kana, who was playing with her smartphone, and she quickly turned to me and smiled.
“Ah! Seito-senpai! You’re here. Good morning!”
“How long have you been here? Did you wait long?”
“Not at all. I just arrived about five minutes ago.”
“I see. That’s good. But your casual clothes look really good on you.”
I said what I was thinking honestly.
“Really?”
“Of course. I’m not the type to flatter people.”
“Hehe… Thank you. I’m glad. Actually, I just bought this outfit recently.”
“Is that so? You have great taste.”
“It makes me feel so good to hear you say that! But you have great fashion sense too, Seito-senpai. You look even more wonderful than usual!”
“I’m glad to hear that. Thank you.”
“No, I’m just telling the truth! Let’s go!”
“Yeah, let’s do that.”
And so, Kana and I started walking.
“By the way, what do you do on your days off, Seito-senpai?”
As we walked, Kana asked me that question.
Days off… It hasn’t been that long since I was reincarnated, but basically, I just have nothing to do.
I do read manga to kill time, but that’s about it.
There are other things I could do, but I’m used to them, and they’re just chores.
“Basically, there’s nothing I really want to do.”
“Really? That’s surprising.”
“Well, there’s no one to hang out with.”
“Then, if I don’t have anything to do on my days off, it’s okay to invite you, right?”
“Of course. I wouldn’t be upset if you invited me.”
“Got it. Then I’ll keep inviting you from now on.”
“Thanks.”
“By the way, Senpai?”
“What is it?”
“Did something happen with Miku nee?”
Kana asked, tilting her head.
“What do you mean?”
“No, nothing. It’s just that when I’m with Miku nee, we sometimes talk about Seito-senpai, and when I praised Seito-senpai, she agreed, which surprised me… Saki nee was there too, and I think she was surprised too.”
“Suzukaze does praise people sometimes, so it’s not that strange, is it?”
I don’t think that’s true… I thought to myself, but I asked anyway.
Given her personality, it’s basically impossible for her to praise a man, and Kana and Saki know that better than anyone.
“Of course, but she really never compliments boys… I don’t know why, but Miku nee doesn’t like boys, or rather, she basically doesn’t try to get along with them. Miku seemed to really approve of Seito-senpai, so I was a little curious.”
I think that’s a reasonable thought.
If I were in Kana’s position, I would have thought the same thing.
“I wonder. If you’re curious, why don’t you ask her?”
“Hmm, that’s true. Besides, if Miku-nee respects Seito-senpai, then that’s good news for me, and I don’t need to worry about it. Oh! Right, there’s one more thing I wanted to ask. Seito-senpai has been at the top of his class since junior high school, right?”
“To be precise, it’s not grades, but my final exam scores that are at the top.”
Just because my scores are high doesn’t mean I’m at the top of the class, since I’ve been skipping school.
“Exactly! Miku-nee has been saying that too. She said she couldn’t get used to it.”
“That’s news to me.”
“Miku-nee is surprisingly competitive, so she was pretty concerned about that.”
“I see.”
“Yes. So, why are you so smart, Seito-senpai?”
I can’t say it’s because I have cheat specs, of course.
“Am I smart… Well, even though I look like this, I study hard, don’t I?”
“So you did study, Seito-senpai!”
That’s obvious, Kana… No matter how much cheat specs I have, I can’t know everything.
Once I study something, I don’t forget it, but I didn’t know it from the beginning.
“That’s obvious. But as I said before, I had to live on my own, so I studied hard on my own from a young age, and I just know more than people my age. So I don’t think I’m doing anything special.”
“I see… I’m sorry for bringing up such a strange topic…”
When I said that, Kana looked a little downcast and said that.
Maybe it was because I brought up the past?
“It’s okay. I’ve already moved on from the past, so even if I remember it now, it doesn’t matter. Besides, I want to focus on the future, not the past. Of course, I also want to cherish the time I spend with Kana.”
“With me…?”
“Of course! As I’ve said before, Kana is the only person I can truly call a friend, and I enjoy talking with her because it makes me feel comfortable.”
This is what I truly feel in my heart.
I can talk with Miku now, but I’m not sure if I can call her a friend yet.
We’ve been exchanging messages occasionally since then, but we haven’t talked at school or anywhere else.
Besides, I really enjoy talking with Kana. There’s no doubt about that.
“You like being with me… Is that true? You’re not lying, right?”
“It’s true.”
“Hehehe… I see. Seito-senpai likes being with me… That makes me so happy!”
Kana says happily with a big smile on her face.
“Is that so?”
“Yes! Besides, I feel very happy when I’m with Seito-senpai, and I like spending time with him and talking to him!”
“I see… I guess I would feel happy if you said that.”
“That’s right! Then let’s have fun today!”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
While having that conversation, Kana and I headed to the game center.
