Chapter IV

Shit. Is she going to start crying? If that's the case I should be a proper man. It seemed like such a sentimental item for her.

...

I should confirm it's broken first. No, that's unusual. Maybe tap her on the shoulder and say it's alright? Nooo, I am not some fictional character. Ah. I know.

Hiroki finally stood up and decided to not be childish and handle this by comforting the girl. "Hey...Uh.. I-" He gets cut off.

"Finally. I figured out a way to get rid of that." She said.

!??

Hiroki's concern turned into disconcert. "I've been formulating on how to get rid of my glasses without purposely busting it throughout the years." She said. Hiroki is completely muted at this point. Apparently she doesn't have any vision problem. The two of them stood still at the center of the gym. This gives Hiroki anxiety. So he impulsively escorts her out of the gym and started walking.

"I heard you're a transferred student. Why didn't you go ask a member from the student council to guide you?" He asked, surprisingly with a concerned tone. "It's not necessary. I'd expect every individual to have a substandard personality here. Based on what my first two hours here are like." She replied.

I swear. Is she not aware of how mean the words she say are. She doesn't even look at whom she's talking with. Not that I want her attention or anything, but I just don't get this woman's vibe.

Hiroki couldn't take it so he asked.

"Why are you hateful to people you barely know."
-"Why ask a same person so blunt?"
-"Why are you avoiding the question?
-"Why would I entertain you."

They started making a quarrel over questions asking about questioning questions, until..

"Why are you-! Why and when did you start using your phone abruptly!?" He yelled. The girl didn't react, since she's seemingly playing the game Hiroki plays as well.

EHH? A GIRL LIKE HER? PLAYS MY TIER TOP VIDEO GAME? I've never seen a single Swift until now.

...

Hiroki tries to not be obvious of the fact he's interrogating the girl's level, collections, etc.

..She has the limited "Tsuki Scythe" weapon from last year's event!? I didn't even get to aquire that. Hmm. Ah. I just realized this can be a full package of victory. If she and I started a routine of playing together, there's a higher chance of winning matches, and her. I have to be inconspicuous about asking for her ID though.

He attempts to start a conversation with her. "Don't you think-"
"You can add me if you desire." She offers a friend request before Hiroki could even talk about it.

!?!???!?!??!?!

Hiroki starts freaking out.

What the fuck? First she talks like a walking dictionary, because of how complex she makes her sentences, even if she doesn't have to be formal, Second. HOW DID SHE KNOW I PLAY THE GAME?

"My ID is 0528652372" she said, and continued talking as Hiroki exaggerates stuff in his mind.

This is giving me a queer feeling. Is she some kind of AI that's secretly spying on us, humans? Maybe a disguised comrade of some government with political issues? Hmm. Soulless eyes, non-dyed hair, used to wear glasses....
