I check the time after playing an exciting mahjong game and realize it's almost time to leave home. I'm to meet Ciri outside the Raven hideout at the time we agreed upon with Soumu yesterday.
To my surprise, when I open my living room door, I see two people standing on the left and right side of my door, looking at each other. They are Nadeshiko, who I haven't seen for many days, and Ciri, who I was just with yesterday.
The silence between them inexplicably makes it seem much colder outside the door than inside. It also makes me feel guilty for some reason even though I hadn't done anything.
Since it looks like neither of them intends to speak first, I force myself to break the deadlock.
[player]Um... Why are you both outside my door?
[Nadeshiko]Are you asking me? Or are you...
[player]Ahahaha... I'm asking both of you.
[Nadeshiko]I've made some modifications to my beloved motorcycle and have come to take you out for a ride so you can experience it.
I turn and look at Ciri inquisitively. She glances sideways at me and speaks nonchalantly.
[Ciri]I've come to take you to the agreed meeting place.
[Nadeshiko]The agreed meeting place...?
I can understand that Ciri wouldn't want to tell Nadeshiko about Raven since they don't really know each other, but it's obvious that Nadeshiko has misunderstood the meaning of "the agreed meeting place."
She looks all over me with a strange expression and then looks at Ciri standing opposite to her.
[Nadeshiko]No wonder those juniors at Asaha High School keep saying they can't get hold of you recently. So you've been busy dating.
Juniors... Is she referring to Nana Shiraishi?! It must be because I haven't been replying her text messages! She is spreading rumors about me and defaming and slandering me!
[player]Nadeshiko, listen to me. It's not what you think.
Yikes! I only realize how terrible this line sounds after I say it, but I don't have a choice. If I don't clarify this now, I'm afraid that everyone in Asaha High School will know about it by tomorrow.
[Nadeshiko]Oh, then I'll treat it as a misunderstanding. In that case, will you come with me for a ride or...?
After hearing what Nadeshiko says, Ciri also folds her arms and looks at me with raised eyebrows. She doesn't say anything, but she is emitting intense pressure.
Is this the so-called "battlefield of love" that I've only heard rumors about? Is this my chance to be the protagonist for free? If that's the case, there should be two options in front of me right now...
