“I’ll buy whatever Saaya likes. …..but She eats everything, to be honest, I don’t understand.”
Yes, I have been with Saaya for such a long time, but I don’t know what her favorite food is. No, this may be a bit of a stretch, but I do know that she likes spicy food. …..
[Eh, you still want to eat it?]
[? I haven’t eaten at all, right?]
[This is the fourth bowl of spicy ramen you’ve had. ……?]
In my mind, Saaya is …. I honestly think she’ll eat anything as long as it’s spicy food, because she eats basically anything, eats ridiculous amounts of everything, and always looks satisfied when she eats any of it.
[You don’t have any desire for things, so why do you have such a great appetite and desire to sleep?]
[Hmm? Is it that so?]
[…. Yeah, you’re not even aware of it.]
[???]
Well, sadly, she wasn’t aware of it, and I’ve heard here and there that she’s been eating a lot at home, much to her mother’s annoyance.
Well, you know what? I mentioned that one time, too, you know? And guess what she said?
[….. I’m sorry to say that I eat too much, but just like you guys get hungry faster when you exercise more than usual, I use my brain a lot more than you guys do, so maybe that’s why I eat more. …… I don’t mean to do that.]
So I heard. ….. Well, that fellow’s brain sure looks awesome, doesn’t it?
…… I hope one day Saaya will verbalize and tell me what she is thinking about on a daily basis.
What will I really going to buy anyway? …… I once bought her something sweet one day, what do you think she said?
[….. You don’t understand me that well, do you? I hope you don’t think I’m the same as a normal girl. …… But, well, I’m happy.]
That’s what she was saying, in short, I was saying that I should choose her without thinking of her as just a girl…but somehow, in my mind, she’s just a girl…well… Let’s talk about that later.
“…..Hnn? What’s that?”
On the way to go shopping…… There was a girl. The girl was approached by a bad-looking man and looked irritated and annoyed. ….. Nine times out of ten, it’s probably a pick-up.
Who picks up girls in this day and age? …… I thought it was only in the world of anime.
The guys around me turned a blind eye, obviously noticing that the girl was being picked on and looking annoyed, but no one was trying to help her.
“Haa. …… Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to go help her.”
I was so disgusted with the guys around me that I thought I was going to help the girl. ……. If I could, I wouldn’t want to go either. …… Because that guy’s face is so damn scary. ….. I wonder if he’s a demon mimicking a human? I’m not sure if it’s an ogre disguised as a human being or not.
But I can’t help it, so I try to head in that direction. ….. I was so surprised to find out who the girl was.
“It’s definitely Yuki, isn’t it?…..”
Yes, the girl in front of me was Saaya’s friend──Asami Yuki.
In a sense, it is true. ….. This is because she is just as good looking as Saaya. Her attractiveness will probably attract numerous men. ….. Maybe it’s the fate of those with superior looks.
“……. You’re bothering me, get the hell out of here.”
“Don’t say that, come hang out with me, okay?”
Yuki is trying to get him off her back with a tongue that reminds me of Saaya’s. ….. On the other hand, the pickup guy would not stop picking on her.
I was wondering how on earth I was going to fight him off. ….. The pick-up guy forcefully took Yuki’s arm….. The moment I saw that, my body started to move on its own.
“Excuse me, that girl is with me.”
I told him that. He looked at me.
…… Wow, it’s even more intense when you see it right in front of you.
“What? You this girl’s boyfriend?”
“No, it’s not like that. ….. She’s important to me.”
“But hey, if you’re not her boyfriend, why do you care?”
“No, no, that’s not what I’m talking about. Can’t you see that the girl is clearly annoyed?”
Ummm……. I don’t want to cause any more trouble if I can help it. …. See, I can feel the stares coming from all around us.
Well, it’s like this anime-like situation ….. It can’t be uninteresting to those around us, can it?
So no one wants to join in, they just look at us.
To be honest, I can’t help but think it’s a bit silly to see them like that, but I guess it’s no use worrying about such things now.
“We’re leaving for now. …… If you’re frustrated, why don’t you go after another girl?”
The moment I said those words, the pick-up guy changed his mood and glared at me.
“….. What are you, annoying me?”
At that moment, the guy raised his fist and swung it straight down at me.
But for me… it was too slow, especially compared to Saaya, and that’s why I knew exactly where he was going to raise his fist.
So I dodged it as if it were a given and punched the man in the stomach.
“Gah, …….!”
The man was sitting there in agony from the blow to his abdomen.
…… What is this guy, lame.
“Haa. ….. Yuki, let’s go.”
“…… Ah, yes.”
I took the stunned Yuki’s hand and quickly left the place. …… I wonder if I overdid it, that one. The people around us were also stunned.
I didn’t mean to go that far either, all I had to do was take their hands and twist their wrists.
(That phenomenon where the body moves to help someone on its own. ….. I felt a sense of déjà vu somehow. …. I don’t know why.)
I try to think about this strange sensation, but I force myself to dismiss the thought that now is not the time, and focus on the fact that I’ve come to a place where it’s time to stop running.
“Are you okay here?”
“………”
“… Are you okay? Yuki?
“Ah, ….. Yes, I’m fine.”
Yuki’s behavior is strange. ….. I’m not sure what to say, but I feel like she’s not really in the right place at the right time.
“Haa,….. At any rate, ah, if it happens, call out to the people around you, okay? If you call out around you, they’ll help you.”
“…… Why?”
“Ha?”
“Because as far as I know you are …. you didn’t care what happened to anyone but Saaya, and even if it was me, Saaya’s friend, it wouldn’t make any difference. …..”
“Oh ….. What a strange feeling, you know? My feet were going to help you on their own. ….. I had this feeling of déjà vu. …. It doesn’t matter, well, maybe I cared for you more than I thought.”
“……..”
“Yuki?”
Yuki stared at me without replying to what I said. …..What on earth was going on? Instead of her usual fearless smile, she looked like she had discovered something.
“Could it be ….. you, …….?”
“Hm? It’s so small I can’t hear you very well.”
Yuki mumbled something in a small voice again, as if she didn’t hear me.
“……. You saved me from a car accident and died in my place. ….. Are you my prince?”
