Chapter 165 – The second event – Collapsing Kingdom – part two
“W-wait! Stop! Soone help !” The ex-baron that I was tying up exclaid.
“You’re the only one left, so there is no one to help you.” I told him.
“You done over there?” Hannes said as he entered the room while carrying the other three important NPCs of this kingdom. I truly wonder why they declared independence when they had such weak forces, but it’s none of my business, “Let’s keep moving them. I want to finish getting rid of the small fries and hurry up to the kingdom.” Kingdom? I think he ant Hermagne there? Though I have to wonder…
“Why are you in a hurry?” I asked him. He seed to be feeling pretty bad once we arrived, but as soon as he recovered from his motion sickness, he imdiately went on the offensive. It was quite the change alright.
“Hmph! None of your business!” He replied.
“I see…?” I said. I’m a bit curious about this, but if he doesn’t want to tell , then let’s give up on it, “Alright, then let’s finish moving those people to the Wallace Kingdom so that we can go to the next country.”
“Does that an we’ll use…?” Hannes left his question incomplete, but I knew he was talking about Jun.
“But of course! We can ‘play’ more like this, right?” I replied.
“Yeah…” Hannes seed to already be tired. Did he skip lunch or sothing? I wonder if it’s alright to keep on ‘playing’ like this… Well, let’s keep going for as long as we can!

and Maria were silently tying up the people that we finished capturing from a nearby country. We didn’t have any convenient ans of carrying them back to the country we were fighting for, so we had to transport them manually.
As Maria finished tying up the hands and feet of the NPC she captured, she tied them to her back so that she could carry them. I also did the sa to the one I captured.
We didn’t really look at each other as we did that, but at so point she roughly pulled the rope from my hands, “That was a bit too rough, wasn’t it?” I asked her.
“… This is good enough for Oda.” She replied.
“It’s just us here, so you don’t need to force yourself to use my last na, you know?” I asked her.
“Oda’s last na is enough!” She exclaid.
The last na is enough for , but she can be all kind and compassionate to others… She’s being so violent. We were supposed to be good otaku friends, who ridicule each other as a joke, but… Just last na…? This is enough…?
I sighed, then said, “Well, if miss Hagiwara is okay with last nas, then I suppose I won’t mind it.”
“O… Oda is an idiot!” She exclaid.
I felt like crap right now. I started thinking back on how this stupid fight started, it seed to be so trivial… How did it get to this?
The system had just finished assigning the pairings, and I happened to see that Mai was my pairing, and ended up saying, “Wait, you, Mai? Seriously?”
She then replied with, “What do you an with ‘seriously’?” She wasn’t angry at that point, she was just a bit surprised by my reaction, I think.
But then I had to say that, “Well, I just think it would be more fun to work together with other people from ti to ti?”
“What!?” I should have realized she didn’t take it well at this point, but I continued…
“I an, we’re pretty much always paired together for so reason. Don’t you think that it would be nice if those random systems gave us different partners every once in a while?” I told her. It was true that we had so sort of mysterious luck that got us together almost every ti that a random system was deciding pairings. And also… I did think that Maria could end up having more fun if she was paired up with soone else.
“What do you an!?” She asked.
“It’s just… Don’t you get tired of always being together with the sa person?” I asked her back. I really didn’t realize how much I ssed up there.
She paused for a second, she seed to be in disbelief at first, but then she shouted, “Stupid Yuu!”
It wasn’t sothing that she hadn’t done before, but this ti it felt different. It didn’t feel like banter, it felt like she was really angry at .
I didn’t quite get her reaction, and I didn’t like how she started shouting at , so I replied by saying, “Why are you suddenly yelling at !?”
“Isn’t it alright!? You’re so tired of being with the sa person each ti, so at the very least I have the right to reply in whatever way I want!” She exclaid.
I didn’t understand why she was so worked up, but I didn’t feel like staying silent once she said that, so I started arguing back, “Huh? You say that, but you’re the one who always avoid at school because you’re scared of being seen together with the otakus!”
“Yeah, because I don’t wanna be seen with the people that say stuff like ‘I just love seeing girls in swimsuits’ in public!” She replied.
“Stop making things up! I never said anything like that!” I answered.
“But the things you say give off this sa disgusting feeling to the people on the surroundings!” She exclaid.
Things really went downhill from that point on. Neither of us wanted to step back, and we just kept on dragging things further down…
“But you’re also an otaku!” I told her.
“But I’m a sensible one!” She replied.
“And how am I not sensible!?” I asked her.
“Because you hide magical girl doujinshis behind your shelves!” She told .
“J-just how do you know those things?!” I asked her.
“And you also get all prideful and full of yourself each ti miss Ichijouji talks to you! How is that sensible!?” She then told .
I really did get angry at this last one. I just couldn’t help getting happy when a popular girl talked to a nobody like , okay? Mai should know enough about my own self-view to understand this much.
And yet, instead of trying to calm things down, I just made it all worse, “Yeah? Because unlike Mai, miss Ichijouji is a beautiful and charming girl that everyone can’t help paying attention to!” I told her.
“I’m also charming!” She replied.
“If soone thinks you’re charming, Mai, then that person is a criminal.” I really shouldn’t have said this one.
“Y-y-you’re so stupid, Yuu!” She said as she kicked between the legs…
“Agh… T-that was a bit too much…” I told her.
“Ah… I-it’s Yuu’s fault! You’re too stupid!” She said.
I was the one attacked, and it was my fault… I just couldn’t get where she was coming from… And now we can’t even look at each other, nor refer to each other by na… It started from sothing so trivial, yet neither of us are trying to make ands now.
“What a wonderful event…” Mai grumbled out loud as she carried the NPC on her back.
“Well, if you aren’t enjoying it, then wouldn’t you have been happier if you had been paired up with soone else?” I told her, bringing back what started our fight.
“Oh, but of course it cos back to this! Oda, you really can’t endure playing with a tiny kid like , do you!?” She said.
“… Weren’t you the one who said it was such a bother to deal with an otaku like !?” I ended up replying.
We were still quarreling. I didn’t even know if I ant what I said anymore, but I just couldn’t bring myself to reply normally when we were like that… This really felt horrible.
After another small while of silence, Mai ended up saying, “Just try not getting in my way… Oda.”
“That’s my line… Miss Hagiwara.” I replied.
We went silent once more… Eventually we both said, “Stupid” at the sa ti though.
We were really close to one another, yet we weren’t talking. We weren’t even looking at each other… She always has such gentle smile when talking to others, but she’s always annoyed or complaining when talking to … I really felt like playing with others could have been more fun… I really felt that it could have been more fun for her at least.
I didn’t really know how to make up with her, we just kept on silently walking, ignoring the NPCs that we were carrying, who were clearly uncomfortable with the situation… Not nearly as uncomfortable as I was though.
