I, Who Was Reincarnated as an Evil Character With Cheat-Level Stats in an Eroge, Will Live Freely in This Life
A few days later, it was Saturday.
Nothing special had happened over the past few days, but I had been talking to Miku a little more at school.
We had been in contact before, but when I talked to her directly, I realized that she was opening up to me, which made me very happy.
As for Kana, she doesn’t openly talk to me when we meet in class, but when she sees me, she smiles and waves her hand slightly, which is honestly very cute.
Well, today I have a study session planned with Kana, but I’m a little nervous.
After all, it’s Kana’s room, so it’s not like I don’t have any thoughts about it… Of course, I swear I’m not thinking anything weird.
With that in mind, I got ready and finished getting ready to go out.
I already got the address for Kana’s house, and if I leave now, it should be just about the right time.
Unlike a meeting place, it’s her house, so I think it’s best not to be too late or too early.
“Alright! Let’s go.”
◇
(Ding-dong)
I called Kana to let her know I was on my way, and when I arrived, I rang the doorbell, and the door opened immediately.
“H-hello, Seito-senpai…”
Even though I invited Kana to my house, she seemed a little embarrassed.
“Hello, Kana.”
“Thank you for coming today… Please come in.”
“I’ll take you up on that. Excuse me for intruding.”
Then I followed Kana into her room.
Kana’s room had a few more stuffed animals than usual, and next to her pillow was the cat stuffed animal I had given her.
Well, I knew from the game, but it was definitely a girl’s room.
“Please sit here.”
“Okay.”
Kana and I sat down.
“By the way, did you tell your parents I was coming today?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“Well, I guess so.”
“Was that a problem?”
It wasn’t a problem, but… I wonder?
“Now that I think about it, is it okay that you brought me here without asking?”
“Well… I think it’s okay.”
Kana seemed a little flustered for a moment, but she answered that way.
I guess she hadn’t thought that far ahead.
Well, there’s no point in saying that now, and we’re just going to study, so it’s fine.
“Then it’s okay. Let’s get started right away.”
“Let’s do it!”
Kana said that, took out her study materials, and sat down next to me.
Until just now, we were facing each other across the desk, but this time we were almost zero distance.
The desk isn’t that big, but our shoulders are close enough to touch if we move a little.
When I glanced at Kana’s face, it was a little red.
“So, let’s get started!”
“Yeah.”
――A little while later.
“Seito-senpai!! You’re amazing!!! I’m understanding it more and more!! You’re too good at teaching!!”
She said that, but even though I might not be as good as Miku, Kana’s comprehension is still quite fast.
If I teach her the basics a little, she can quickly apply them, and I can’t understand why she thinks she’s bad at studying.
“Kana’s comprehension is pretty impressive too.”
“Is that so? Miku nee and Saki nee have said that about me too.”
“I’m sure of it. If you study hard, you could probably aim for the top of your class. Well, it’s probably not possible this time, though.”
“S-Senpai, do you like smart people?”
Kana suddenly asked that question, looking a little anxious.
“No, not really. But I do want Kana to study hard. It would be a waste of her good memory. I’ll teach you anytime, so let’s work hard together.”
“I see… I understand. Then let’s continue! I’m really motivated now!”
This time, Kana said that cheerfully and enthusiastically.
Somehow, Kana is really easy to understand and cute.
“Let’s continue then.”
“Yes!!”
◇
“Phew, I’m tired!!”
It was 6:30 p.m., and Kana had been studying continuously for over five hours, but she was able to concentrate quite well.
But there was one thing that wasn’t going so smoothly.
It was English.
Kana was quick to pick things up, but she seemed to instinctively reject English.
She couldn’t get it into her head at all, and she said it was difficult to memorize English words. Well, English isn’t something you can learn overnight, so it can’t be helped.
“Good job, Kana.”
“Thank you so much, Seito-senpai!”
“You said you’re not good at studying, but you managed to keep going for so long.”
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to you, Seito-senpai.”
“I see.”
“Um… enpai… Since I studied so hard, could you give me a little reward?”
Kana asked that with a blush on her face.
“If it’s something I can do.”
“Then, if you don’t mind…”
Kana said that and leaned her head on my shoulder.
“Is this okay as a reward?”
“Yes… this is fine.”
“I see.”
Then, we were both silent for a while, but Kana spoke up.
“I’m really glad I got to be friends with you, senpai.”
“Why are you suddenly saying that?”
“I’m not saying anything special. I just thought it and said it. I’ve been having so much fun since I met you.”
“That makes me happy. But I feel the same way. I’m glad I met you, Kana…”
“Ehehe… I’m happy. Please continue to take care of me, senpai!!!”
“Likewise.”
We continued talking for a while after that.
◇
“Well, I should be going now.”
“Yes! Thank you so much for today!!!”
“I’ll help you with your studies anytime. See you later.”
As I was about to leave, Kana called out to me.
“Seito-senpai!!!”
I heard her voice and turned around, but at that moment, I felt a warm sensation on my cheek.
“…”
“I… I like you, Seito-senpai! I don’t know how you feel about me, but I’ll definitely make you fall for me! Well, I’ll be going now!”
Before I could reply, Kana went into her house.
“…”
◇
When I got home, I thought about it.
To be honest, I kind of knew that Kana liked me, but I didn’t expect this to happen today.
Kana was the first person I became friends with after coming to this world, and she was a great emotional support for me.
I feel calm and happy when I’m with her. I wanted to stay with Kana forever.
“Should I try to win her over…”
In the end, what am I supposed to do?
I do like Kana, but I didn’t expect to have to think about this so soon.
Dating Kana… If that future were possible, it would be really fun, but…
“Well, there’s no need to think about it.”
Even after thinking about it again, I still think I like Kana.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be thinking about how nice it would be to have a future with Kana…
When I think about it that way, it’s not that I’m trying to win her over, but that we already feel the same way…
“Still, Kana looked really embarrassed.”
When she told me she liked me, she looked me straight in the eye, but her face was redder than I’d ever seen it before.
Her expression was serious, and I could tell she had mustered up the courage to say it.
This time, I need to properly convey my feelings to her, and I should respond right away.
As I was thinking about that, Kana called me.
“S-Senpai!! I’m sorry for being so sudden today.”
“Was there anything to apologize for?”
“B-But you suddenly did that…”
“No, it’s okay. But about your answer…”
When I said that, Kana interrupted me.
“That answer is still okay! If possible, please let me know after the test is over!!! I’m not ready yet…”
I could give her an answer right now, but I decided to respect her wishes.
If that’s what she says, then she probably needs time to prepare herself, so maybe it’s best to leave her alone for now.
I don’t know what the right answer is, so I’ll just leave it at that for now.
“I see. Then I’ll do that. Make sure you study hard for the test.”
“Yes!!! No matter what your answer is, I will always love you, senpai!”
Kana seems really nervous, so I wonder if she can study for the test like this? I think so, but for Kana, today was definitely a day when she mustered up a lot of courage, so I’m a little worried, but I’ll refrain from saying anything unnecessary for now.
“Thank you.”
“Yes! Good night!!!”
“Good night.”
“Haa… I’m really happy after all.”
Even though I didn’t show it in my actions, when Kana directly conveyed her feelings to me, I was definitely nervous, and to be honest, I’m still nervous now.
Today was quite a sudden turn of events, but it was definitely a good day.
That night, despite being nervous, I surprisingly slept soundly.
