I started dating a cute girlfriend I met during my eighth grade days when we reunited in high school. - Chapter 15

(**Shinya’s POV**)
I couldn’t sleep much last night because I couldn’t get over the excitement of our conversation we had at the riverbank, so I had to go to school with Beni without enough sleep. For some reason, Beni seemed to be sleep-deprived as well, occasionally sighing cutely. I said something embarrassing yesterday, but it was completely ignored…
It’s a little hard to talk to her, but it’s a shame to be silent when I’m with her. I spoke to her with all my might.
“What’s wrong with your luggage today? You didn’t finish it, did you?”
“It’s a secret, of course. I’m sure Shinya will be surprised. And it’s too powerful for normal people… to handle…”
Beni replied to my words after making sure there was no one else around. She was in her Witch of Hades mode. In the end, we decided to hide our true nature when everyone is around, and reveal it gradually. But here’s the thing, doing it gradually would be difficult. Mainly because of Beni, she would definitely go out of control…
“Jekyll and Hyde. Give me one of these. It’s heavy, isn’t it?”
“Thank you very much. You’re so kind, Shinya-san.”
It was getting close to school, so I gave her the signal, and she handed me a very large bag. I wondered what was in it. I don’t want to open it because it would be rude, but I’m curious.
“I’m looking forward to lunch today, you know.”
“No, don’t look forward to it so much…”
Yes… I’m in charge of today’s lunch. It was the result of a conversation on the phone yesterday, but it was depressing.
When we entered the classroom, there was a momentary buzz and my classmates took notice. What was this, some kind of organizational conspiracy? Or did someone see what happened at the riverbank yesterday? As I was shivering, Okita called out to me.
“Yesterday’s exchange at the school gate went viral, you know. A chuunibyou classmate has suddenly taken a cute transfer student as his girlfriend, it’s bound to cause a stir.”
Oh, so that’s the reason… Thank goodness. If the secret had been discovered, I would have had to use my power as a knight of the black dragon. To be more specific, you can say that I forced Beni to go out with me, and I forged a line or something and circulated it to the class. I’m sorry that Beni, who has just transferred to a new school, would be exposed to curious eyes, aside from me.
By the way, Beni was pointing at me and saying something with a red face, as if Eriko’s group was asking about me. What are they talking about?
“Speaking of which, there might be some strange girls hanging around you in the future, but I hope you don’t mind.”
“Eh, are they demons or something? They’re scary.”
“If anything, it’s more of a witch’s genus… More than that, regarding yesterday’s event…”
I wonder if this guy has gone crazy from playing too many shadow games. I decided to listen to Okita’s social game talk as usual. I really wanted to talk to him about my date, but as expected, my classmates were there.
“Fufufu, my domain is finally complete.”
“So that’s what was in the luggage!”
“Because you’ll accept me as the Witch of Hades, won’t you?”
When I went to my usual room at lunchtime, Beni unpacked her bags and began to redecorate the room. The room was just an empty classroom locker with a few anti-terrorist equipment hidden in it, but the whole place was a mysterious space with black curtains, crystal balls and plastic skulls. It was like the room of a wicked witch from the movies itself. I wonder where they sell skulls? No, I think it’s on Amazon. I checked it before…
And Beni was happily sitting on a bat-shaped cushion. Well, as long as she’s having fun, I guess.
“All that work is making me hungry. Oh, I want to eat food that someone else cooked.”
“Yes, yes, I understand, princess.”
“Don’t call me princess, call me Witch of Hades. Hurry up and make the sacrifice.”
Beni cheerfully gazed at the bento I had brought with me. No, I’m troubled by the fact that she’s paying so much attention to it… Even though I’m not very good at cooking.
In the lunch box, there was a sandwich wrapped in unevenly cut bread, and a side dish of cabbage and salted chicken. I didn’t have time to think about nutritional balance or color. I looked at Beni with trepidation, but she still had a big smile on her face.
“Fufu, it’s nice to know that you actually made these things.”
“I don’t know if that’s the case, but I want to eat Beni’s lunch.”
I blurted out, but she just smiled wryly. The sandwiches are okay… but what about the chicken…?
“Ugh~…”
Sweet… Oh no, I mixed up the sugar and salt. No, no, no wait, they’re both white. It’s hard to tell. I think we should make one of them black. That’s more cool. Or rather, forget about that. I have to collect them before Beni eats them…
“Thanks for the food, it was good.”
“Eh, you ate all of that!?”
“Of course, my knight made it for me, how could I leave anything behind? Next time you come to my house, I’ll teach you how to cook.”
“No, it’s not right to ask you to do that.”
Isn’t my girlfriend (in disguise) a little too cute? I used to think that the scene in a novel where the protagonist eats the heroine’s bad cooking and falls in love with her was true, but now I understand. I fell in love with her even more. Or rather, I’m her knight… Being The Knight of the Black Dragon is cool, but so is being The Knight of the Witch of Hades…
As soon as I was impressed, the bell rang, signaling the end of the fun time.
Okita: I bombed the gacha…
The message was sent with a scrapbook. I guess I’ll just have to read through this one.
Arthur: Riajuus should just explode! Or rather, I’m going to make you explode. [TLN: Why does this sound gae.]
I’ll block this guy…
Eriko: What do you want to eat today? If you have a request, let me know as soon as possible.
Oh, right, today is the day Eriko is coming to my house. Maybe I’ll buy her a cake and go home after doing so…
