embarrassing part where I’d been worried about my account …..
“Y-you’re wrong! When I said account, I meant—Well, you know, it’s pretty popular, right? The kind you use to chat with your friends ….”
Just what exactly was “wrong,” anyway? Even though Haruka hadn’t actually heard anything, it was definitely suspicious of me to be frantically making of excuses while avoiding eye contact. Better yet, I genuinely thought that somehow should just bury me in the mountains somewhere already.
However, becoming curious of his expression, I slowly lifted my face, and saw that, for some reason, Haruka’s eyes were ablaze with brightly burning flames.
“It was amazing, Takane! I thought that customer earlier was a really scary person at first, but after playing the game with you, he came back and was really nice to me, too! He even said that the game was really fun! This has to be that kind of thing, right? Where after the match, everyone becomes friends with each other!”
Haruka suddenly started talking with passion.
His frightened tone from earlier had completed changed to a spirited one of newly-awakened sportsmanship.
I didn’t really care about Haruka’s sudden transformation, but the fact that he hadn’t mentioned anything directly about me brought me a sense of relief.
As I thought, he hadn’t heard anything. If I really stopped to think about it, there was no way that this guy had such good hearing. I’d worried over nothing.
“Oh? Those two really said something like that, huh. Then, taking this as a learning experience, there probably won’t be any more problems. Well, if you leave it in my hands, something like this is an easy win!”
“Yeah! I was kind of worried, but it’s really fun! It’s all thanks to you, Takane!”
That’s right. It’s true that it’d been an irregularity, but in the end, we were able to ensure that the first customer had fun.
Also, if I had been able to win that easily even against that level of an opponent, as long as the nationwide number one player veteran didn’t come, we most likely wouldn’t be losing our prize.
Looking at these results, we were off to a very good start. If those two had already left, then there was no longer any reason for concern.
With where the Science Preparation Room was located, it probably wouldn’t be as crowded compared to other booths; it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let loose a bit while waiting for more customers.
With my throat completely try from the built-up anxiety, I decided to take a drink from the sports drink I’d placed under the desk, as if to drink to my victory.
“Takane, you’re amazing ….! And so cool! LightingDancerEne!? I’d love to see that ‘Phantom Waltz –Holy Nightmare–‘ technique for myself, too!”
Instead of flowing down into my stomach, the sports drink in my mouth was instead spit out in midair.
What remained in my mouth entered my trachea splendidly, causing me to cough violently.
“Uwaaaah!! What happened all of a sudden, Takane!? A-are you okay!?”
Haruka was helping me by rubbing my back, but if possible, I wanted to disappear from this place already.
With my skirt soaking wet from the spilled sports drink, and how violently I was coughing, all my thoughts were gradually disappearing.
Rather, I wanted to die, right here and now.
“Uuu … Haa …. Haa … How do you know … that …..!”
Regaining my breath somewhat, I asked this question while wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. But perhaps it was already too late to ask. After all, he’d just said my handle name and special move without a single stutter.
“Ah, that customer earlier was really excited about talking about you, Takane. And I was happy to hear about a lot of stuff, too!”
“Ah, ahh, ahhhh …..”
Unable to even wipe the sports drink off my skirt, I could only moan with my head drooped down. It was over.
Farewell, my school life. The Culture Festival had been pretty
