Chapter 1459 - Competition Afterparty ⑦

When asked who her first love was, the first thing that came to my mind would be her father or other such cliche answers. However, I could tell that Aoi-chan hates her parents and their household, so I guess that isn’t the case.

However, the fact that she asked me this question means that even I would be able to tell who it is? No, she said she would give me hints, so even if I couldn’t tell who it is initially, I may be able to guess by listening to her hints.

(T/N: Thought their previous conversation would be enough, but seems like Aoi-chan is still gonna give Kaito-kun hints coz Kaito-kun is a big dumb dumb.)

[The first hint…… I had my first love when I was in elementary school.]

[That’s a staple, but it’s going to be hard to narrow the scope of it down with just that…… is he someone I know?]

[I wonder about that?]

Hmmm, that’s an ambiguous response. The first hint is only information that she had her first love when she was in elementary school. According to Hina-chan’s information, Aoi-chan was rumored to have not forgotten her first love, so it’s highly possible that this first love wasn’t someone she just met in the same high school.

It is possible that they were classmates who moved away when they were in elementary school…… I mean, wouldn’t being classmates in her elementary school already have such broad possible answers?

[Hmmm, is he a classmate from elementary school?]

[Unfortunately, we aren’t. In the first place, he isn’t the same age as me. He’s quite a bit older than me.]

[Older huh, that really gives a wide range of answers……]

[Then, here’s the second hint. This person has taught me many things, and in a way, you could say that he’s like my teacher.]

Like a teacher…… A tutor? No, that doesn’t feel like it though, so I guess he’s not actually a teacher or anything like that. This is seriously tough. I mean, I don’t know much about who the people Aoi-chan’s friends are, and thinking of this subject, this topic had never really been brought up.

The only friends Aoi-chan talked about were Hina-chan, Seigi-kun, and a few of her high school classmates. She seemed to dislike her family, and she rarely talked about anything other than her high school life and that MMO.

[……You still seemed to be troubled about it. Then, here’s the biggest hint. Until quite recently…… At least, at the time I had my first love, I didn’t know his real name or face.]

[Fumu…… Fumu…… U- Unnn?]

A- Arehh? That’s strange…… If I take Aoi-chan’s hints so far as a whole, I’m kinda arriving at a strange answer.

She had her first love when she was in elementary school, she gave a vague answer to my question of whether or not I knew the person, he’s someone who taught her many things, and yet she didn’t know his real name or face.

The phrase “real name” implies that she knows him with other names, And the one who she would be vague about whether it’s someone I knew or not……

[……Eh? ……Me?]

[Well, technically, it’s Ciel-san. Though ultimately, it would indeed be Kaito-san.]

When I confusedly said the answer I arrived at, Aoi-chan chuckled and nodded at my answer.

[I mean, it’s the first time playing an MMO for a little girl ignorant about society like me, and when I was worried, not knowing what to do, you treated me so kindly that it wouldn’t be strange for me to fall in love. That especially goes for my case, as Ciel-san didn’t look at me as the Kusunoki Group’s young lady, but as the person I was.]

[……I see.]

[Yes. And so, when I found out that Kaito-san was Ciel-san in this world, I was really surprised. It was kinda like, no way, for us to coincidentally meet like this, it felt like fate.]

To be honest, I was at a loss for words because of this unexpected fact. No, I actually am aware that Hibis-san was quite fond of me, but I wasn’t able to reach that conclusion because I had initially misunderstood her gender.

However, errr…… How in the world am I supposed to answer this?

[……I was really relieved that Kaito-san really was just like Cien-san. I’m glad that you are just like you thought you would be.] f𝙧ee𝙬ℯ𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝒆𝘭. c𝒐𝓂

[Errr…… Aoi-chan?]

[Ahh, stop. Please don’t say anything yet.]

While I was trying to get my words together, Aoi-chan asked me to wait. And then, after staying silent for a moment, she spoke with a small smile on her lips.

[……Did you know? They already lowered the age of adulthood to 18?]

[Eh? Ah, unnn. I know that but……]

[And my birthday is June 23rd, and I’m 17 years old when I first came to this world. Well, I returned from this world once and my body’s age was reset back to that time, so you could say that that year I spent in this world had been excluded.]

After she said that much, Aoi-chan smiled and moved her back away from the wall we were leaning on.

[I plan to stay in this world for at least a year. Rather, since we can go back to our original age, I’ve been talking to Hina-chan and we talked about staying here for a few years.]

[……You mean?]

[……The rest of what we talked about earlier, we’ll continue this after I turn 18…… And so, please wait for me.]

After saying that and smiling cutely, Aoi-chan moved toward where Hina-chan was without listening to my reply.

I don’t know if it’s as they say, like how a person’s growth happens in the blink of an eye. How should I say this…… In just a short amount of time, I felt that Aoi-chan had become quite mature, and feeling strangely embarrassed, I lightly scratched my cheek.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [This is a main heroine’s style…… It feels like her being no different from a mob in the main story was a lie.]

Makina : [My child falling in love with my beloved child. What a beautiful composition it is. This is advantageous for me.]

Serious-senpai : [……Haahhh…… Haahhh…… That’s good. It’s still just a minor, fatal injury]

? ? ? : [Is there even such a thing as a minor, fatal injury?]
