Chapter 844 The Elaborated Lie part 1
"Yo~! Hase!" A bespectacled young woman with messy brunette hair wrapped her arm around a cute girl with braided hairs' shoulder while greeting her with great familiarity.
Hase was startled for a moment but she immediately recognized the voice and calmed down, "Kiryuu-san, please stop attacking me from behind. I can never get used to it."
It was afternoon and the last class just ended so everyone was either going home or going to their respective clubs. Aika was also about to go home, but she saw a familiar back, so she decided to say hi and maybe kill some time while teasing her, "How can I stop~? Every time I do this, you squeal like a small hamster."
"Regardless, please stop doing it. It's really bad for my heart."
Aika grinned at her response and continued, "Really? Bad for your heart, huh? By the way, how is it going between you and Matsuda?"
"W-w-w-what do you mean? W-we're just friends!" Hase frantically explained while avoiding Aika's face.
"I see... You must be very good friends to go shopping last weekend with just the two of you~!"
"T-t-that... I asked him to help me choose a gift for my little brother's upcoming birthday!" Hase further explained with beet-red cheeks and a palpitating heart.
Aika separated from Hase with a small chuckle and said, "Now, now. Don't be nervous. Didn't he save you that one time, and you asked me to introduce him to you so you'd get to know him better? Nothing's wrong with the two of you getting along and maybe going a step further. Though he's a big pervert, he's a decent guy that won't commit a crime..." In the middle of it, Aika recalled the crime that the perverted trio had committed and pulled back, "Well... maybe except for voyeurism. You'll have to make an effort to stop that bad habit of his."
Hase looked at Aika's clear gold-colored eyes with curiosity and said, "Just now, you sound really mature. Do you perhaps have a boyfriend?"
Aika knew the answer to that question, however, just as she opened her mouth, she hesitated, '...What? Why am I hesitating? What is this feeling of loss? I shouldn't have any... or do I?'
Without altering her parents' memories, this was the avenue that Kisuke left for her to return.
The curiosity she had for these individuals overflowed, so she attempted to investigate them. But this decision only came to be because she wanted to forget her current reality that was ripping apart her understanding of things.
Even then, the result of her stalking only ended up as attempts since whenever she tried following them quietly or waiting for them in hiding, she would always be discovered. She wasn't aware that she was leaking her own aura to these Devils.
"...Kiryuu-san!"
Hase's voice woke Aika from her deep contemplation, "Yes?"
"Are you alright? Does it hurt anywhere?" Hase asked in concern, "You just suddenly started staring at nothing blankly."
"Ah, sorry about that. I'm just thinking of something trivial."
"Are you sure? This has been happening frequently. Why don't you try visiting a doctor? Maybe there's a complication developing that you're not aware of."
"It's true that I'm just thinking of something. Thanks for the concern though. I appreciate it."
