“Miss Ichijouji, do you have a mont?” A classmate of mine suddenly said once classes were over.
“What is it?” I asked her back. I can’t really rember her na, and I don’t know why she talked to either, but it wouldn’t be ‘normal’ to ignore her, so I replied.
“You’re playing a ga called KSO, right?” She asked .
“Yes, I am.” I told her. I don’t get why she asked instead of Yuuki or Mai though, they’re definitely better than at ga talk.
“What is it like? What do you do when you play it!?” She seed to be excited for so reason.
“I just… Do whatever I want?” I told her. I don’t really have a specific routine or anything, and I mostly play solo, so there isn’t much more to say.
“B-b-but what about that thing about you being a genocider?” She eagerly asked.
I didn’t know how to reply, and Yahiko did say I could just smile at those tis, so let’s try it. I smiled at her without really saying anything.
“I-I-I see! T-thank you for your ti! I’ll see you tomorrow!” She said before leaving.
“See you tomorrow.” I replied… Smiling really did work, what a nice trick. I should thank him for this one later.
“Reina! Let’s go ho together!” Mai suddenly called out to as soon as the other girl left.
“Alright.” I replied, which made her give a big smile as she started walking with … Also, Yuuki ca together while walking a bit behind us, he was also fidgeting a bit… I suppose the three of us will go ho together? I’m not used to this kind of ‘ordinary’ thing, but it feels nice.
“By the way, Masaki and his friends said they wanna co with us too.” Mai told as we walked to the shoe lockers.
“Yeah, they said they’ll wait at the school’s gates.” Yuuki complented.
So we’re going ho with a big group? That’s a first to … Well, I suppose it’s fine, even a bit unexpected and confusing.

(Yuu’s PoV)
There was an awkward heavy mood in the air right now… It was just supposed to be and Mai going ho with Reina, but Sugo and his friends ended up overhearing our plans and took advantage of it, and we’re now in this ss.
“Reina, do you like sweets? Let’s buy so crepes!” Mai told her.
“I don’t hate them.” Reina replied.
“So even the Genocider likes sweets…” Kanno comnted. The girls are in a good mood, yet we over here are in such a drought… Why did I have to ask if Sugo still liked Reina? Such a bad move on my end, this is why otaku and normies shouldn’t mix! This topic choice was terrible!
“I’ll take the strawberry chocolate one!” Kamiya said as we reached the crepe stall.
“I’ll go with custard pudding.” Shinono said.
“And I… Will go for a crepe of caral with whipped cream, I suppose.” Kanno said.
“I’ll have the sa! What about you Reina, which one do you want?” Mai asked her. At least the girls are having fun, I guess… Or rather, everyone except and Sugo are having fun, since his two male friends sneaked away from us two and were having fun on their own…
“I don’t know? I’ve never eaten crepes before.” Reina replied.
“Then get the sa as ! I recomnd it! Give one to her too, clerk!” Mai dragged Reina into eating her favorite flavor… I suppose that’s fine.
Though it is a bit pitiful that Reina has never gone out to buy sweets on her own like this… Well, not much we can do about her past, I suppose. Let’s just try to enjoy our ti together now.
With those thoughts in my head, and the other guys in the group ordered our crepes.
“… Hey.” Sugo suddenly called out.
“W-what!?” I replied with a really weird voice due to how surprising it was for him to talk to out of nowhere… He started laughing because of it… Tsk.
After a small while he stopped though, and then asked , “Is she always like this?” Must be talking about Reina…
“Well, pretty much. She is pretty sheltered it seems… She feels lost by the smallest of things, like how to play with a stray cat, or how to reply to the greeting of an elentary student even.” I told him.
“Really now…” Sugo seed to be thinking about sothing as I thought of the tis where and Mai were together with Reina and witnessed her being troubled by those trivial things…
“Mmmmm…” Reina was looking at the crepe without really biting it.
“Reina, like this!” Mai called her out, and then took a bite.
“Oh!” Reina replied and took a bite in the sa way Mai did just now.
“I’m surprised you don’t even know how to eat a crepe.” Shinono comnted.
“Must be because she’s a lady, I guess?” Kamiya replied.
This looked just like a scene out of an ani… Wait, no, forget those thoughts! There are non-otaku here, you shouldn’t bring those things up.
“… Sweet.” Reina said while smiling.
“It’s delicious, isn’t it!?” Mai comnted.
“How can the Genocider be like this? You’re so cute!” Shinono said.
Reina was mostly expressionless, so I suppose her rare smiles were that much more impressive… I wonder if this was because of her upbringing, making her unable to smile much, or even take big bites from food… Mai once said that she wanted to pat Reina’s said while saying stuff like ‘it’s alright, you can eat more if you want.’
… And just as the mood was getting better, my phone had to ruin it, damn it! I can’t believe I forgot to change my usual ani ringtone! There’s no way they didn’t hear it when this mail arrived… I should have just chosen a normal J-pop for today, why did I have to forget to change it…?
I sighed before looking at the phone, “Huh? That’s surprising… It’s from KSO managent.” I told everyone after I read the mail.
“What does it say?” Sugo asked .
“We’ll be having another event.” I replied.
“Oh…” Sugo instantly turned his gaze towards Reina, who just tilted her head in response, “Ichijouji, you better prepare yourself for this next event, alright!?” He said.
“… Oh, alright.” Was her reply… This was supposed to be so sort of ani climax mont or sothing, right? I an, I think it’s what Sugo was going for, but… Both of them had so cream around their mouthes, so they just looked silly right now.
“Ah, and by the way…” They started saying in unison… Honestly, it was hard to not laugh right now, but everyone seed to be at a mutual understanding that we shouldn’t break the mood by laughing, “There’s so cream on your face.” they said together again… At this point, we all started laughing.
