Chapter 27: Gigantic Salt Field

" Um.... Shido said that there was something he just had to do. " Shiori said nervously. " Y-yeah.... Y/n had felt sick last evening and...wanted to help the others in the festival. So I took his place for now. " Y/n said in a shy, cute, and captivating voice while fidgeting. " What she said....so in the meantime, we're taking their places. " Shido added.

" Those bastards! "

" They ran away! "

" That's so lame! " the three had said in an arranged order. ' Please let me kill them.... ' Inverse had said while in Y/n's mind with a mind for bloodlust. The two on the other hand were frightened by the Gossip Triplets' anger that Y/n almost fell to the ground. " By the way, who are you two? " Ai asked in a calm manner which made Y/n sigh in relief. " I'm Y/n's cousin, Lyanna Sta- I mean, L/n.... N-nice to meet you all. " Lyanna had said in a shy manner while looking away. " Huh, you don't really take after the delinquent. Are you sure you're his cousin and not his girlfriend's? " Mai asked. " W-well... About that, I kind of dyed my hair dark plum since.... I am kind of envious of her... " ' she ' answered in a usual low tone. The trio understood it and then turned to Shido. " What about you, what's your name? " Mai asked to Shido. " I'm....uh.... Shido's cousin.... Shidomi.... I mean, Shiori Itsuka. " Shiori said stuttering and making frantic arm movements which made Lyanna gave ' her ' a deadpanned look.

" Y/n? What are you doin-? " Tohka curiously asked in a weak tone while sniffing Lyanna who yelped and tried to cover her mouth. " There's a reason for this, please don't burn this image to your head or tell anyone about this while pretending you don't know me. " ' she ' said weakly which Tohka nodded. Suddenly, both of them shook their hands and Tohka said, " Nice to meet you, woman-who-isn't-Y/n! " which made Lyanna make a comically large sweatdrop on the back of ' her ' head. Suddenly, a camera flash made Shiori, Lyanna, and Tohka turn around.

" Look this way. That's good Shiori, very good. " Origami said while picturing Shiori which made Lyanna giggle as if he guffawed loudly, it would mean blowing his cover. Origami kept picturing Shiori and even said, " Take something off. "

' Oh my~, even the emotionless robot is a pervert inside. ' Inverse said in a teasing manner inside Lyanna's mind. ' Oh please... She has donned a maid outfit. ' he answered back. Before Inverse could reply, a loud shout from Shiori was heard.

Tengu Square-Near the Rindouji booth

" Rindoji's booths are in the first building. " Kotori said to the two. " I already know... Being forced to contribute to the festival last year helps me navigate through these half-assed booths. " Y/n said lazily as the two walked through the square to go to the Rindouji booth. " Well, did you all win last year? " Kotori asked with a mix of a mockery in her tone. " You know... I'm hating Rindouji for being one step ahead of us last year. " Y/n said monotonously while holding the intercom with the intent to break it. Shiori swiped away his hand before he could even break it. Shiori knew all too well about Y/n's anger when he mentions Rindouji.

The issue of him and Rindouji was a year long feud with him. Last year's festival, Y/n was one of the major contributors of the team where the Gossip Girls are. His theme was themed with two video games and the manga he reads most of the time. He had to stay in the arcade and tire himself there for tickets in order to hoard every single plush toy in there that was related to his theme and used half of his savings for the rest.

(I'll give a cookie to those who can guess his two favorite games. Clue for the first one is that he loves to fight with ' style ' while on the other is he could unleash hell and carnage.)

One could say that he worked too much for it. He tired himself for it and looked brain dead for the rest of the time. Even now, he could still hear the words:
