Saturday has finally arrived.
To be honest, I’m not very excited about it.
Of course.
I have no idea what Nanami san is thinking.
But I don’t feel any malice in her, so I’m relieved about that, but I don’t know her very well.
“I don’t know what to do～”
I don’t know her hobbies, what she likes and what she doesn’t like.
All I know about her is the high school she went to, her age, and her gender.
“What the hell are we supposed to do in a place like this?”
The place where I was summoned by Nanami via e-mail was a station that holds bitter memories for me.
The place was closer to the station where I witnessed the scene of Runa and Satoru’s affair on Christmas Day.
Come to think of it, about a month had already passed since then.
I was deeply moved.
I haven’t really felt the passage of time since then, but now that I’m here, I can really feel it.
“But I was able to get to know Amane san because of that incident.”
I was very sad and bitter at the time, but when I think that I was able to meet Amane san because of that incident, I think it’s okay.
“Senpai? You still like to talk to yourself, don’t you?”
It seems that Nanami san has arrived.
She taps me on the shoulder from behind.
“That’s not true. You only come when I talk to myself.”
Why does this girl always come when I’m talking to myself?
“Isn’t it because you can’t deny that you like to talk to yourself already?”
“Enough about that ! So, why did you call me here?”
“You’re so impatient ～just follow me for now.”
She doesn’t seem to want to talk about the main topic right away and starts to walk away from me.
Although she looks really cute, her personality isn’t cute at all.
She’s like the devil.
“I understand.”
I’m dissatisfied, but there’s no point in being unreasonable here.
I made that decision and decided to follow Nanami-san.
◇
“Isn’t it about time you tell me?”
Two hours had passed since I met up with Nanami san, but she had not made any attempt to talk to me about her requirements.
On the contrary, it was as if she genuinely enjoys going out.
What on earth was she thinking?
If she just wants someone to date like Amane san said, Nanami san should be able to choose any partner she wants.
Then there must be a different reason.
I feel like I owe this girl, but I shouldn’t trust her.
That’s what my gut is telling me.
“Senpai really has been wary of me all this time. You don’t have to be so wary, I won’t do anything.”
“I don’t know. After the incident in the past, I have stopped trusting other people. Now there are only two people I trust.”
“I envy those two. I don’t mind if I cut to the chase.”
It seems that she is finally going to tell me the real story.
Nanami san turns to me and stops.
“Let me ask you a question.”
Nanami san began speaking in an unusually serious tone.
“First of all, have you noticed that we were being followed until now?”
“I haven’t noticed.”
Apparently, we were being followed by someone from the very beginning.
But why on earth?
I don’t remember doing anything to be followed by anyone.
“Well, obviously. And the reason I called Senpai is because I want you to do something about this stalker-like person.”
“Huh?”
It’s a pain in the ass.
It’s not worth it.
If I don’t handle the situation well, I could get myself in a rough spot.
“I think they’re gonna make a move soon. There’s not a lot of people around here.”
We are talking in a dimly lit back alley.
It’s a perfect place to attack someone.
“What did you do?”
“Beats me. At least, I don’t remember doing anything to get followed.”
“Don’t drag me into your problems.”
I’ve gotten myself involved in a terrible problem.
I’ll try not to accept this girl’s requests lightly from now on.
“They’re here.”
The next moment Nanami san said that, several men entered the alleyway.
In their hands was a shiny object, a knife.
Hey, come on, that is a real knife, isn’t it?
“What did you really do? I don’t think most people would be chased around by a couple of guys with knives, would they?”
“I’ll tell you all about it when we get through this.”
It seems that now is certainly not the time to talk about such things.
The men are slowly approaching.
If they keep going like this, I might really get stabbed.
“Obviously. But what should we do?”
This place is more of a cul-de-sac than a back alley, so we can’t go any further back.
But we can’t go to the front.
There are men in the front.
If we try to go through the front, we might get stabbed to death.
“Good luck, Senpai ! !”
“You’ll remember it later, okay?”
“If you have time later, I’ll tell you as much as you want, okay?”
I really don’t trust this junior.
From now on, I will never listen to anything she asks.
If I listen to her, I’ll never be able to live with myself.
“Die ! !”
A man rushes toward you with a knife in his hand, ready to kill me.
“Ugh.”
I managed to get out of the way, but there were still four men in front of me.
And if I take too much time, I’ll be surrounded.
“It can’t be helped. Let’s go ! !”
I took Nanami san’s hand and started running.
I was afraid I might get stabbed, but I had no choice but to do it this way.
“Get out of the way ! !”
While pulling Nanami san’s hand, I tackled the men in front of me.
I managed to get through the cul-de-sac without getting stabbed.
From there, I ran as fast as I could and scattered the men.
◇
“What do we do now?”
“I think we’ve scattered them for now, so let’s go into one of the stores around there.”
“Got it.”
I ran as fast as I could and swept past the men.
I didn’t manage to get stabbed, but it was really messy.
“So why were you being chased by those guys?”
I went in and ordered a light drink, and then cut to the chase.
“My house is a detective agency. After my dad revealed their secrets, I guess they wanted to get revenge on me, his daughter.”
“But you seemed to know that you were gonna be attacked today, didn’t you?”
“Well, I did my research.”
“Why did you bring me into this?”
If I made a wrong move, I would have died, right?
“It’s easy. Because it looked like fun.”
“Seriously?”
This guy is probably really dangerous.
If I keep getting involved with her, I’ll never be safe.
“And one more thing. The reason why the footage of you being cheated on was so impressive was because I was helping my dad with his detective work, and I used the equipment to film it.”
“I see. Is that why the sound quality was so good?”
The sound quality of that video was quite good.
Even though it was quite far away, she was able to accurately pick up their voices.
“Of course. Oh, yes, I’ll give you one piece of information to apologize for getting you into trouble.”
“What’s this information?”
It has to be a good information for getting me involved in an incident where there was a chance of being stabbed.
No. If not, I would normally cut ties with her.
Seriously, I can’t.
“You’d better stay close to Amane senpai for a while from now on.”
“What do you mean?”
I’d better stay close to Amane san for a while?
What does she mean?
It should be meaningless for her to go out of your way to say something like this to me.
But why would Nanami san say such a thing?
“It’s just like I said. It’s better to stick close to her. That’s all the advice I have for you. Well then, thank you very much for today.”
“Wait a minute.”
Nanami san left the store before I could stop her.
“….I’m paying?”
I was the one who had to pay the entire amount because Nanami san left without paying the bill.
Well, it’s good because it’s not that expensive.
“I should not stay away from Amane san. I can’t afford not to heed the advice of the detective’s daughter, so I’ll keep that in the back of my mind.”
Let’s go home for now.
I’m tired today.
