You’re mad after all .

  I wonder how long I was sleeping .

  Opening my eyes, I felt something soft under my head . At the same time, My eyes met with Kamaishi’s who was looking down at me .

  “W-Welcome back, Kamiya-kun . ”


  “Ah, thanks, Kamaishi-san . ”


  When our eyes met, Kamaishi greeted me somehow, awkwardly .

  For some reason, her face turned bright red and she averted her eyes from me . I wonder why .

  I greeted her back and turned over to realize that the soft thing under my head was her lap .

  I didn’t notice it since I just woke up, but apparently, Kamaishi was giving me a lap pillow .

  Who knew that the day when Kamaishi would give me a lap pillow would come .

  Without any particular purpose, I ran my hand through her lap .

  I wonder why I feel like I already went through a similar situation .

  “Um, Kamiya-kun . You are tickling me……”


  Smiling at me with a troubled expression, Kamaishi asked me to stop .

  I forgot that I kept rubbing her lap as I got lost in thoughts .

  “Sorry, I will stand up . ”


  “Ah, no, it’s fine . You’re tired, aren’t you? You can stay like this if you want . ”


  When I was about to stand up, Kamaishi stopped me as she lightly pressed my head .

  Accepting her kind offer, I decided to stay laying down on her lap for a bit longer .

  “Where’s Lina by the way?”


  “Lina-chan went to hand over that fallen god . ”


  Answering my casual question, Kamaishi made a worried face .

  “Kamiya-kun . About what I was talking about before you fainted, I heard everything . Although, I don’t remember you doing anything of what I heard . ”


  I kept quiet for a moment after listening to what she said .

  So she heard everything from Lina .

  Well, I don’t think anything bad would happen if she knew about it, so it’s fine . I always thought that it won’t be a big deal if Kamaishi discovered the truth anyway . The reason that she doesn’t remember the fight is because I erased her memories of it .

  “I see……”


  “Yes, and when I knew that you did all of those dangerous things, I became really worried…… so—”


  Leaving a short moment of silence, she continued .

  “Don’t try doing the impossible . I won’t ask you to not do it ever again, but at least, please, don’t die . You can ask me for advice anytime you want . Just don’t die, please . ”


  I couldn’t see her face from this angle, however, I could tell that it was brimming with sorrow just from hearing her frail voice .

  The hand she was placing in my head was faintly shaking and her voice was trembling .

  Looks like I caused her to worry more than what I thought .

  Hearing her words until the end, I raised my hands as if I gave up and said .

  “I understand . I promise you, I won’t try doing the impossible and I shall ask you for advice whenever I get the chance . So please, stop saying something like that with that sorrowful face . ”


  Like this, Kamaishi answered with a cheerful “yes . ”


  Good grief, It looks like I’m no match for her .

  I wonder why I can’t argue with her any further .

  She could be one of the strongest enemies I met in a certain meaning .

  I prefer fighting 10 people like Germa at the same time instead of making her sad .

  Thinking about random stuff while using her lap as a pillow, this time, Kamaishi changed her voice tone and addressed .

  “By the way, you kept quiet about your abilities only from me, didn’t you? Even though Lina-chan and Karen-chan knew about . ”


  Unlike the sorrowful ambiance she was giving off just now, this time around it was pressing mood .

  Hm, what’s this feeling?

  “Well, Lina was originally from that side, and Karen discovered it only by coincidence . ”


  “But you still kept it a secret from me, didn’t you?”


  Ignoring my excuse, Kamaishi asked me the same question . Almost as if she was implying that I didn’t have the right to explain myself .

  As I thought, she’s pressing me for an answer .

  Hmm? Could it be that she’s……

  “Are you mad?”


  “Not really . ”


  When I turned my face to look at her, she answered me and turned to look in a different direction .

  You’re mad after all .

  I found her angry attitude kinda cute, but since it wasn’t the perfect timing to comment about it, I

  kept quiet .

  For now, let’s keep making excuses .

  “It’s not like I kept a secret only from you . I wasn’t intending to tell Karen either . Even at the time when Kren knew about it, I started thinking that it would be fine to tell you as well . It’s just that I Couldn’t find a good timing and necessity to do it . It’s not like I didn’t want to tell you . ”


  “Then why did you tell me now? You could’ve just erased my memory with all those people . ”


  Her face still looking at the other side, she added another question .

  “I told you, the timing was good, so I thought it would be fine to let you know . And if I was to erase your memory of what happened, you will suddenly find yourself standing on the roof of a random building, which would unexplainable and confusing . ”


  Fixing my eyes on her face, I continued .

  “So can you cheer up……?”


  I checked Kamaishi’s expression .

  Honestly, I’m out of excuses .

  Fortunately, my last excuse was acceptable and Kamaishi turned back to look at me and make a condition . ”


  “I-if you do what I tell you, I can forgive you . ”


  “What could it be?”


  She averted her eyes and her cheeks changed to faint red color as she seemed to have a difficult time saying something .

  Just what is she going to ask?

  Feeling a bit worried about what she would say, I waited until she spoke again .

  “From now on, I want you to call me Saya . I will call you Yato as well . ”


  Hearing her request, I couldn’t hide my surprised expression .

  I thought she was going to ask something on another level .

  “Now that you said that, I never called you by your first name . ”


  “Yes, that’s why I’d like you to do that from now on . Is it no good?”


  Kamaishi waited for my answer with nervous eyes .

  I didn’t have any reason to refuse .

  If Kamaishi wants me to call her that way, then why not?

  “I get it . I shall call you Saya from now on . ”


  “Yes! I will call you Yato-kun from now on too . ”


  Thus, with smiles on our faces, we promised to call each other by our first names .

  It felt kinda embarrassing at first to do that, though it wasn’t a bad experience .

  Probably thinking about the same thing as me, Saya’s face became faintly red .

  We only have to get used to it .

  After that, we had a fun time calling each other with our first name until Lina came back .

  Somehow I feel like the distance between us had considerably shortened at that time .

  ——————————————————————————————————————–


  Bonus

  I won’t help you .

  “Yato-kun, why do you have all those abilities?”


  “In the past,

  and I ended up obtaining these abilities . ”


  “And what happened to your classmates?”


  “Who knows . They’re probably still in that world . ”


  “You’re not going to save them?”


  “I don’t know the name of the world and I don’t want to go there anyway . So it can’t be helped . ”


  “So if you get the name of that world, will you go?”


  “Absolutely not!”


  “As I thought . ”
