Part 5
"Super sorry, Shinsuke, I'm gonna have to cancel that outing with you guys, I have to go run some errands."
"Kekekeke!"
A gleeful, insidious laugh filled my eardrums.
Do you really derive so much pleasure from seeing me being humiliated in such a way, Shinsuke?
"Oi, don't get the wrong idea, alright?"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Have fun with Ishikawa-san!"
He hung up...
Gah!!!!
My reputation...
My normal high school life...
It's gonna be in tatters!
"Chaos Blast! Strike of Midnight!"
There's the troublemaker!
You're the sole reason why me leading a normal high school life is an increasingly Herculean task!
"Oi, don't do such things in public, you're gonna make a fool out of yourself."
"Fufu, Matsuda, you have yet to grasp how Pandemonic Chaos conducts herself. I have to practice restlessly in preparation to enter the Otherworld, in order to free myself from the talons of the Heavenly Tyrant!"
"Just please don't do it in public, people are staring."
Surprisingly, she actually stopped, her face painted bright red.
Did she actually listen to me? Is this chuunibyou finally mellowing out? Does she understand the concept of shame now?
She walked close to me and shyly pulled on my shirt sleeve.
Huh?
What is this sudden development?
A confession? On my first day?
Even if it's Ryuko, I'm fine with it!
"Matsuda..."
Yes?
"May I.."
Yes?!?!
"...borrow some currency to purchase an Elixir of Stamina? I'm slightly parched."
Of course.
Such developments don't just spontaneously happen, especially to me.
I only encounter events of terrible misfortune.
"Fine, here's your money. Go buy whatever you want."
"S-Somehow, I feel like Matsuda is extremely irritable right now! His power level currently exceeds 9000, so I won't say anything more!"
"..."
I'm a bit too hard on her, aren't I?
I guess I'm a little too passionate about this whole high school thing...
Guess I should just make the best of it for now.
I made my way over to where Ryuko was standing.
A vending machine...
"One, seven, seven, zero, one-"
What the hell kind of number does she think she's entering?!
"What are you doing?"
"Ah, this is a cheat code for a free Elixir of Stamina."
I'm just waiting for the machine to get confused and spit back an error message...
