Chapter 13-Interlude 1: Witnesses <ordinary people who saw the reunion>

No, no, what was that? What was that? It was still too early for Halloween… and I, Okita Sho, who was doing my daily run, witnessed a crazy scene on the riverbank.

A boy, holding two swords, dressed in black coat with silver accessories on his body, and a girl with silver hair, dressed in gothic lolita with black wings on her back were chatting happily. Normally, there would be some small children playing in the riverbank at this time, but no one came close because of this peculiar scene. What were they doing, those two? I don’t want to get acquainted or get involved with them, so I decided to leave as soon as possible.

AAAAAAAAH SHINYA… even though I don’t want to get involved, he was my best friend! That thing, if I remembered correctly, he called it Black Dragon Knight Ultimate Mode, back in junior high, when he came on the double date I arranged dressed in that outfit. I had seriously thought about killing him. I mean, was he going to fight some kind of final battle…? 

But who’s that girl next to him? Oh, that beautiful face looked familiar… Tanaka-san! What do you mean, I won’t keep you waiting anymore? You’re dating Shinya, right? Is this some sort of play or something? I couldn’t hide my surprise that my best friend, who was a non-normie, went down a path that I couldn’t have imagined.

I wonder if I should interrupt them by saying, “Hey, there’s a half-off french fries at the convenience store, want to go?” or something like that…

“Beni Onee-sama… I’m glad to see you, finally… But, that strange man there… is he the Black Dragon Knight?”

While I was wondering what to do, I heard a voice in front of me. There was a girl, probably a junior high school student with red and gold colored contact lenses, dressed in a gothic lolita outfit. Furthermore, she has a bandage on her right arm with symbols written on it. She had probably made it by herself. It was quite good… and the symbols were actually real runes. I asked Shinya about the Celtic mythology characters in the game and he told me to learn them. I have a good memory, so I had them memorized.

Also, it’s hard to tell from her outfit, but she was probably a busty girl. My kendo-trained eyesight could instantly determine the size of a girl’s bump. Shinya called this special skill of mine the “mind’s eye”. I would classify her as a  big tits loli. Only the appearance alone was my type… Well, that was a trivial matter.

“This girl… knows about the Black Dragon Knight…?”

I remembered back in junior high school when Shinya wore a bandage on his right arm saying, “I have the power of the black dragon in my right arm.” But who’s this Beni Onee-sama? The only person beside Shinya was Tanaka-san or maybe this girl could actually see supernatural?

I had a feeling that if I got involved with her, I would get into trouble, so I decided to leave quickly, then, when I was about to resume my run, our eyes met.

“Did you know Beni Onee-sama and the Black Dragon Knight…? Can you tell me a little about them?”

“No, I didn’t…”

“Falsehood, you were definitely watching them, and you were mumbling something suspicious, and I saw you respond to the words Black Dragon Knight.”

I guess I said it out loud, but I didn’t want to get caught up in this… I was about to start playing the shadow game event. I never heard anyone use the word “falsehood” in real life before. I think this girl would get along well with Shinya…

“Hmm, I don’t know anything… and I think we should probably go home since it’s already getting dark.”

“No, I have a question to ask you as the apprentice of the Witch of Hades”

“I’m sorry, but I have to go home.”

“No, I have a question to ask you as the apprentice of the Witch of Hades”

An infinite loop is scary, isn’t it? I thought it only happened in games. But this wasn’t a game. This was reality. I turned around and quickly dashed off. Phew, I guess it’s impossible to catch up with an active member of the sports club, sorry girl. Anyway, who was this Witch of Hades, and is she popular? I was sure I’d heard of it somewhere.

“Uh-huh, that person touched my chest ~a~a~a~a!”

“Huh?”

The girl pointed at me and cried out. There weren’t many passersby, but there were a few people looking at me, and they started to operate their phones. Oops, I’m going to get reported for this… Oh no, my life is over, I wouldn’t be able to play social games anymore…

“All right, all right, big brother will talk to you… She’s joking – I’m good friends with this girl.”

I turned back and stood beside her and smiled to show the people around me that I was harmless. I was unsure if they believed me completely, but they seemed to be relieved that the girl didn’t resist when I came close to her.

“Fufufu, my Word of Death is a power granted to me by the Witch of Hades.”

The girl laughed proudly with a hateful look on her face. D*mn, I almost died socially… I didn’t know who they were, but I hated the Witch of Hades…
