“Next time I will report you without mercy.”
“I am terribly sorry. ……”
After bathing and dressing again, the young lady submits a well-written pledge, ‘I will not be a sinner anymore,’ and sits quietly on her knees and hangs her head.
I distance myself from her and sort out the situation.
I conclude that she is the young lady herself, from ten years in the future.
Frankly speaking, it was my circumstance that I felt the work of consideration was troublesome.
There are many other questions, such as time leap, Miss’s accidental death, and the mysterious lover, but I have decided that these can be pursued later.
But more importantly, what should I do with the young lady?
What should I do with Hisako, who is ……25 years old?
If she is from the future, she knows how the world situation will change in the future. She has the power to slightly rewrite history, and if the Japanese government …… finds her in the world, she may be forced to be dissected in human experiments.
With Hisako’s future power, she could make a fortune in investment and gambling, but her existence could also become public knowledge.
At any rate—
“Tomorrow is my day off, so let’s go to the horse races. Please tell me which horse will win. I’ll put all my money into it.”
“Akane is the one making the proposal?! You’re taking advantage of the fact that I’m a futurist!”
“Hisako-san’s future power is just that she is considered to be a person of great luck with an astonishing accuracy rate. There is nothing wrong with that.”
“I mean, Akane is a junior high school student, right?! You have to be twenty years old to buy horse tickets, and gambling will bankrupt you, no, no!”
“It can’t be helped, Akari-san is …… no good huh? Let’s make it a policy to have a person from the group or Yuzuru-san buy it for that matter. I mean, I’m a high school student since I had my entrance ceremony last week.”
Hisako-san bites at my mention of high school students, and eventually her face turns pale.
She grabs me by the shoulders and presses in with a sniff.
“I’m going to call the police.”
“I don’t want to get in trouble with the police anymore, not that ……! Oh, ah, Akane! You’re in high school now! When, since when! Don’t tell me you didn’t enter shugetsu high school!?”
“It’s since last week. What are you talking about, it was Hisako san who decided my career path, wasn’t it?”
“That’s because I forced myself to do that back then…! Oh, I’m such an idiot! Really, the me I used to be was crazy! I was such a lowly woman to forcefully change Akane’s career path just because I wanted to be with him…!”
─ ─ I didn’t say that you still have that tendency even now.
Hisako san’s narrative sounds like her life is going to fall apart if she enrolls in Shugetsu High School.
Yes, we were all going to enroll in Shugetsu High School. The word “together ……” is a bit of a stretch. Since Shugetsu is an integrated elementary, junior high, and high school, Hisako-san will be able to move on to the next grade. And I was admitted as an outside student.
How I, who had a reputation for bad behavior in the junior high school, was able to enter this school is as much of a mystery as the case of Hisako-san’s time leap.
“the entrance exam?!”
“Somehow I pass.”
“You did!? ……Why, you weren’t rejected!!!!!!!”
I’ve never seen anyone wish for a rejection before.
I recall the scene at that time. I felt like I could realize what it was like to have the entire Hozuki and Izumi families come together to congratulate me on my passing.
The young lady with the same attitude as ever said, “You are my servant, so it is natural, isn’t it? If you fail to pass, my reputation will be damaged”. I have fond memories of being lectured for an hour, saying, ‘For something of this level-(omitted below)
“Hisako-san, you make it sound like you are the one who is unhappy.”
“Yes, ……! It’s their fault I’m ……!”
Hisako-san bites her finger and lets out a resentful sigh. I correct her and get her to take her fingers away from her mouth.
She tells me as I put a bandage on her finger.
“I don’t regret my choice, no matter what happens to me. If the young lady wants me to enroll in the same school, I will obey, and if she wants me to commit seppuku, I will commit seppuku.”
“Then it’s as if Akane’s will is …… not there—Ah, then marry me.”
“That’s a bit ……”
“Why don’t you agree to that!—Hnm, ……, what if…”
Hisako-san was silent for a while as if she had had an epiphany, and then mumbled to herself. She is probably sorting out the current situation in her mind.
She must be sorting things out in her mind. Even if the future is an abyss, we have the power of Hisako-san’s who is a future person—
And we will be able to grasp a better future from among the many world lines.
I watch in silence until Hisako-san catches up with her sorting things out, and eventually she puts on her chest with a triumphant look on her face.
“I’m going to reconfigure the world.”
“… what do you mean?”
“It doesn’t have to end as miserably as the historical facts. All you have to do is avoid it. …… If I exercise my power to control the future, my destiny will open up.”
“With the privilege of being a future person, Hisako san, ……”
“Yes, I can become Akane’s bride.”
…… hmm? the talk seem to have gone off base.
“By twisting and turning Akane’s numerous flags, I can obtain the glory of being his bride. ……Oh dear, I can’t help but be upset just after the time leap, but it wasn’t like me. ……”
“Wasn’t the whole point of the conversation that we would be unhappy?”
“It’s too early to tell, and haste makes waste. Let them have their way with me slowly, and reap what they can from now on.”
In a complete change from her nervousness, she was smiling loudly and cheerfully.
Now that Hisako-san’s mood has recovered, it is time to move on to the main topic.
“Right away, Hisako-san, what should I do…”
“Miss (Ojou). Please quit calling me by such a stranger’s name. It’s much better than calling me Izumi-san, but I miss you so much I don’t want to.”
“I see, …… miss…”
“Hmm, What should you do huh”
Then the young lady realized what I was most worried about.
If I don’t do something, I’m not going to be able to …… make a profit from her future power,
“If you listen to me, I can give you a road map, okay?”
In order for me to use the young lady’s future power, I would have to do something to meet her demands.
“As long as it’s in accordance with the …… level, it’s possible. However, if it goes as far as marriage…”
“The demand I present to you is, for now, to sit on Akane’s lap, caressing my head and whispering sweetly to me. If you agree to it, I can give you appropriate information and advice, okay?”
I can do it if it’s just a knee pillow. I mean, it’s a normal thing to do.
“So, what do I do—“
“Do nothing.”
I wonder how much she meant by do nothing.
I don’t think it’s worth the cost of me talking to the person sitting next to me, telling me I can’t go to the school cafeteria, asking questions about classes I don’t understand…
The young lady was aware that she had not said enough, and she would add.
“You just have to keep a low profile and stay quiet no matter what. That’s all there is to it, simple, isn’t it?”
“Haa, well, I guess so.”
“What’s with that dissatisfied look on your face? Alright, now that the deal is done, please kneel down on me. Here’s the line: ‘Marry me, Hisako!'”
“I can see that you’ve got my word or that I’ll be recorded and blackmailed later, so can’t you give me a different one?”
The young lady reluctantly agrees and jumps into my lap without my approval.
I have no choice but to pat her on the head as it is contractual. The dialogue is …… ah yeah let’s just go with the appropriate one.
“Young lady is a good girl.”
“Uuu ……!”
“You worked so hard for me (marriage is not the motive), what can I say about that. It must have been hard for you.”
“…………”
I don’t know what happened to her in the future, but there is no way she could be this rough on me and my girlfriend just because we couldn’t get married.
I understand that the young lady is serious. She must be anxious because she is alone in a time leap.
As a servant of the young lady, it is my role to support her.
More than that..,
“Thank you for thinking of me so much.”
“Akane …… Akane, I’m sorry …… I’m so sorry ……!”
The young lady has a lot of emotional expression. She is an honest person.
Hasn’t she developed a weak tear gland?
“…… will you marry me?
“I can’t do that.”
“That’s …… where you respond with pleasure, isn’t it?!”
“Don’t go with the flow. Besides, I don’t like young lady as love interests.”
I was forced to extend the lap pillow because of this mistake.
I was made to feel that this is what they mean when they say, A mouth is the root of all evil.
