in a place like this …..
Since I’d been annoyed with these guys earlier, I had purposely put on a show to look cool, but with this sudden turn of events, my mind went blank again.
“Eh? W-wait, what, is this kid famous or something!?”
“Idiot, she’s not just famous ….! She’s achieved legendary scores at many tournaments, and the group that she’s the leader of, ‘Lightning Rondo –Eternal Rondo–’ even ranks in the top 3 in team competitions—”
“Gyaaaaaah!! You’ve got the wrong person!! That’s enough, please!! Please, just hurry up and make your way out!!!”
With the information concerning the secret I wanted to hide most of all being blurted out right now, quite simply, all reason had flown out the window.
“Ackk!! A-and what’s more, that play style from earlier is, without a doubt, Ene-san’s speciality, ‘Phantom Waltz –Holy Nightmare–’ ….!”
With a sensation like my internal organs were tightening, it felt like my face might start spewing magma.
I wanted to put these two in a drum can right this instant, and bury them deep in the mountains somewhere.
“I-I’m telling you, you’ve got the wrong person!! Ah, ah, please hurry up and get out!! I’m begging youuuuu!!”
Perhaps because there’d been too much of an uproar, the moment I threw open the door, Haruka burst into the room looking worried.
“T-Takane! Are you ok—!?”
“Gyaaaahh! You, too, get out !! Everyone just GET OUT—!!”
I pointed at the door and screamed. Haruka included, all three of them replied, “Y-yes, ma’m!” and rushed out of the room.
I sat back down in my chair, shoulders slumping heavily.
I’d made an outrageous miscalculation. To think that my identity would be exposed like this ….
There was a chance that the sullen man would come back later with some kind of message like, “I’m very sorry for my rude behavior earlier. It was such an honor to be able to compete against you ….”
No, he would definitely would. It was probably wise to not log in for a few days.
—But then there was Haruka. It was possible that he hadn’t heard the conversation from earlier, but if he had …. I felt nauseous just thinking about it.
Truthfully, I was aware of it myself how embarrassing the account name was, which I’d made on an impulse, along with the “cryptically redundant circle” that I’d made on an even stranger impulse.
Furthermore, to think that even the play style name that everyone had secretly started using would be exposed—
“I have no choice but to delete my account and die ….”
Tears of shame began spilling from my eyes.
As expected of Haruka, if he found out that I was suffering from this degree of chuunibyou, despite how much I usually berated him for being an idiot, he would probably be put off by it.
Our friendship up until now would be broken, a distance would be placed between us, and finally, he would say, “Ah, Enomoto-san, good morning …..” This was certain.
It was no use anymore. This was the worst.
In the first place, why had a junkie that often competes in tournaments come to this school at this kind of timing? I had the worst luck.
Anyway, assuming that Haruka had indeed heard everything earlier, I had to think of an excuse to cover it up as best as I could.
However, surely, if he had only heard it by chance, he wouldn’t be able to fully understand without knowing the context or what those names even meant.
No, I was sure of that.
There was no mistake.
It would be alright.
“Takane, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m just fine … Wait—uwaaaaaaaaah!! S-since when have you been …!?”
Because I’d been so concentrated on my own inner conflicts, I hadn’t even noticed that Haruka was suddenly right beside me ….
“Eh? Since when ….? Around when you said, ‘I have no choice but to delete my account and die.’”
I could feel my face heat up in an instant. He’d even heard me talking to myself.
