Act 5: OMATSURI
 

Ibuki Ibusuki’s mornings aren’t particularly early…
 
or rather, they’re quite ordinary.
 
He wakes up at seven, which is standard for middle and high school students or working adults.
 
However, for a college student, it’s a relatively disciplined wake-up time.
 
Especially today, being a holiday, it’s rare for a student to still wake up precisely at seven.
 
The reason for such a regulated lifestyle is—
 
“Come on, wake up, Ibuki.”… Read more

this attack is not okay.
 
People almost died, and Hinata even got injured.
 
I don’t know if I’m related to this attack.
 
But I can’t think of it as completely unrelated to me either.
 
After all, in the original story—in the world where I didn’t exist—this incident never happened.
 
When I chose this path, I never imagined that just one person’s actions changing could alter the story this much.
 
In hindsight, how shallow of me.… Read more

Anxiety alone occupied Rui Utsurugi’s heart.
 
She wanted to rush to Hinata’s aid on the ground immediately.
 
But abandoning the people would sadden Hinata.
 
Rui was dedicating herself to preventing casualties for that reason alone.
 
—Behind her, in her blind spot.
 
Hidden by a flashy vortex of flames, a single knife was approaching Rui.
 
Only when it reached a fatal distance,
 
“——”
 
Slowly.
 
In a world moving in slow motion.… Read more

Act 4: Feeble Boy Stumble
 

 
Right after the curtain rose, Hinata and her ally had the upper hand.
 
Two angels versus over a dozen members led by “Gouki”.
 
The former were clearly at a numerical disadvantage, so the latter attempted to overwhelm them with brute force.
 
The members all unleashed their divine gifts at once—
 
First, the palms of the combat-focused angel, moving at high speed, pierced the solar plexus of the two members at the front.… Read more

From then on, it was undoubtedly the most hectic days of my life.
 
“Hinata-chan! It’s after school, want to go to the park?”
 
“………..”
 
“Hinata-chan! It’s lunchtime, was the school lunch tasty?”
 
“……Well, it was okay.”
 
“Hinata-chan! It’s break time, let’s go play!”
 
“……Sigh.”
 
“Hinata-chan! We have a five-minute break, let’s chat!”
 
“…If we must.”
 
“Hinata-chan, Hinata-chan!”
 
“Yes, yes, what is it?”
 
—Without a doubt, these days became an unfading treasure for life.… Read more

Interlude: The Dream Seen by a Girl
 

 
It happened when I, Hinata Soehi, was five years old.
 
I was caught up in a certain Natural Talent Lux incident and saved by an Exia.
 
“You did well.”
 
I still can’t forget her smile, hidden behind an iron mask covering the upper half of her face.
 
From that day on, my dream was to become an Exia.
 
When I enthusiastically spoke about it, my mother’s expression became complex.… Read more

 
“Threatening sounds so harsh. I just have a small favor to ask.”
 
The scoundrel before her put on a highly suspicious smile.
 
That calculating smirk confirmed Rui’s concerns.
 
–This scum, he’s been planning to use Hina from the beginning…!
 
Since she was little, Hinata had openly expressed her desire to join the [Prim-Libra].
 
There’s no way this man wouldn’t know that.
 
“It’s a simple request. I just want you to keep my true identity a secret.”… Read more

 
Before my eyes, my two favorites are happily enjoying choosing clothes together. What a blissful scene.
 
An otaku should just become like a stain on the wall and savor their adorableness.
 
“What do you think, Onii-san?”
 
I wanted to just savor it.
 
My heart is shot through by Hinata-chan’s upward glance as she bashfully asks me.
 
“—-!”
 
My heart is pierced by the wave of murderous intent from Rui standing behind her.
 
(It suits her, right?… Read more

 
The artist who drew them was skilled at differentiating characters, so every time I saw Rui’s appearance, I would sigh and think, “What a beautiful character” — but the real thing was on a different level.
 
Usually, people look more beautiful through a screen in two dimensions, but she was an exception.
 
The honest impression of an ordinary otaku was that there really are people more beautiful than 2D characters.
 
Equally as shocking as her beautiful appearance was her relationship with Hinata-chan.… Read more

Act 3: Horrible-Girl-Shambles
 

 
The other day, Kushina and Mion judged the face reveal incident as “no problem for now.”
 
However, a fundamental issue remained that I couldn’t discuss with the three of them.
 
The fact is, Rui and I are actually close in reality.
 
We have Hinata-chan in common, and if we’re not careful, there’s a risk of running into each other.
 
This is something I can’t consult anyone about.… Read more
