Oblivious Heart - (A Male Reader x Rinko Shirokane Fanfiction)

Chapter 15 - Discovery

"As the man of the hour.... why don't you start us off by introducing yourself? Anon-kun?" Yuki-san said.

That smug aura is threatening. Oh so threatening.

"What makes you think I'm the man of the hour?" I asked her.

"Well... before we could start anything, you went ahead and embarrassed yourself immediately by accidentally confession your love for little miss Shirokane-san here~" She said as she pats the head of Shirokane-san that's sitting beside her.

Goddammit she's cute.

"I-It's okay! I don't mind!!" Shirokane-san said.

That's obviously a lie, you're shaking!!!

I'm so sorry Shirokane-san!!!!

We're currently in the middle of introduction. We want to let ourselves be know by everyone here before we talk about the raid we're about to commence in a week.

Before we discuss in-game stuff, we have to be comfortable with each other of course. This won't exactly get everyone immediately close to each other, but atleast we'll be more acquainted.

But I'm more focused on the meeting for the raid here than anything else.

Well.... that's a complete lie.

I haven't been able to take my eyes off of Shirokane-san ever since her and Ako-chan came in.

Her long, black, and silky hair..... Is in total contrast to my white one...

She dresses like a total princess too! She frills and what not!

Her che-
Let's not talk about that.

Moving on...

"I want to thank you all again for agreeing on this meeting on such short notice on behalf of Adagaki-san here." I said as soon as I stood up.

"Shuuna." Shuuna said.

"Shuuna here." I retracted what I said.

"I'm (Y/N), otherwise known as Hot Milk-san or Homiru-san in game. I'm a Lv.150 Swordsman, and I'm the leader of our little guild." I introduced myself.

"Don't you have anything to say about yourself? We practically already know enough about you in game?" Shuuna asked.

"Well... I used to be nothing but studying, but ever since I discovered HTO, I've been hooked onto it!" I said.

"You really don't know how to prepare a proper introduction now do you..." Shuuna said.

This girl...

"If you can do a better job than me, why don't you introduce yourself next, Ms. Shuuna?" I suggested.

"Alright! I will!" She replied.

"Are they natural enemies or something?" Ako-chan asked.

"I honestly don't know. I'm pretty sure Anon-kun just met Adagaki-san the other day, but now they act sour towards each other for some reason." Saito said.

"But they don't seem to hate each other. The way I see it, Shuuna has eyes of admiration for Anon-kun." Yuki-san said.

"But they seem so close... I can't believe they just met recently.... They're even on first name basis, they seem like a genuine couple too!" Shirokane-san said.

"Shirokane-san.... don't ever let Anon-kun hear you say that..." Yuki-san said.

"I'm sorry!!! I respect Anon-kun's feelings!! I totally do!!" Shirokane-san replied.

They were talking about all of that while Shuuna and I were bickering.

"Hello, my name is Adagaki Shuuna! I'm the Student Council President of Homura High. Lv. 60 War Priestess!" She said.

Sounds practically the same as mine...

"I may seem like a cold and collected girl when you first meet me, but please do not be afraid to talk to me. I'm very friendly and thoughtful. I take things involving my dreams seriously, and I'm not afraid to fight for my friend's sake!" She added.

And everyone gave her an applause.

"See? I told you!" Shuuna said.

"This is not a competition..." I said.

And everyone else followed after Shuuna.

"Saito Miyamura! Lv.150 Vanguard! I'm a friendly and trustworthy guy! If you need any help, don't be afraid to come to me!" Saito introduced himself.

"Nanashiro Yuki, Lv.148 Craft Archer. I'm practically everyone's big sister here. So if you need someone to talk to about your problems, then by all means, do not be afraid to come forward." Yuki-san introduced herself.

"I am Udagawa Ako! Lv. 61 Fallen Angel! I play the drums for Roselia! I'm very friendly too! So please be my friend!" Ako-chan said.

"Shirokane Rinko.... Lv.150 Fire Mage... I'm quite shy and timid, but please don't hesitate to talk to me! I'm also quite friendly!" Shirokane-san said.

"Wait Ako-chan, did you say you play the drums for Roselia?" Yuki-san asked.

"Yup! Rinrin here plays the keyboard!" Ako-chan added.

"I'm actually quite surprised!! I've been following you guys for a little while! Udagawa-san, your drums are fire!!! And Shirokane-san's keyboard brings in a totally new playing field for the songs!!!" Saito said.

Oh? I don't really know about Roselia and bands that much...

But I'm surprised that Shirokane-san plays the keyboard... then....that means she also...

"Hey Anon! Don't you play the piano too?" Saito asked me.

"I did... It's been awhile since I've played one though..." I said.

"What do you mean? Last time you played was a few months ago! You play piano for us in class!" Saito said.

I don't know why but why does it sound so embarrassing to be called out like that?!

"Okay okay I get it! I do play piano!" I said.

"Whoah! Then Rinrin and Anon-kun are the same!" Ako-chan said.

I wasn't supposed to be the focus on this one...

My parents made me pick up an instrument when I was little. Back when I was around 5 years old, my parents sign me up for piano lessons because they noticed how I liked to fiddle with my fingers.

And I've been playing ever since. Although I don't practice 40 hours a day like Lingling like my mother told me.

(That was a TwoSetViolin joke so if you didn't get it, then I sincerely apologize.)

It is still one of my pass times and hobbies. Although I don't really bring it up in conversations all that much.

"You're pretty talented Anon-kun..." Shirokane-san told me.

Being praised like that... You have no idea how many days she made complete with that one compliment.

Despite that.... I can't shake off the feeling that....

Shirokane-san can't seem to look me in the eyes.
