Memory 26
Memory: Trivial Positive - Anri trolls about being a stalker (Vol 1, chapter 8, part 4 + part 5)
Game: Game (played)
Game Master: The Gingerbread Witch
Day: 212
Notes: [Two cookies, both obviously shaped like a girl. One is burned and one is not. Shareable, two uses.] 1/2 taken
“That…thank you very much for today.”
As they parted ways, Anri bowed her head a few times and thanked him. Mikado had offered to foot the bill for both of them, but Anri had declined, and so they paid for their own food. Streams of dark shadows inclined from 60-Storey Street, dyeing the sky a dark blue, and shrouded everything above them.
“No problem, don’t worry about it. Although today’s the first time we’ve talked, we’re going to be class representatives together, so I hope we work well together.”
After Mikado finished, a gentle smile crossed Anri’s face and she nodded:
“I actually knew about you a long time ago, Ryuugamine-kun.”
“Huh?”
“When I was handing in my matriculation form, there was a checklist on the receptionist’s desk. I saw your name on it and I thought it was pretty cool…and then someone came in and checked it off...”
What was with this strange turn of events? An uneasy foreboding hung in his chest and Mikado answered with a casual, “Is that so?”
“And…today, that person saved me…”
—Wait…wait a minute.
Mikado faltered. Doesn’t this a lot like what happened between Harima Mika and Yagiri Seiji? The girl before him had an indecipherable smile across her face.
—Eh? It can’t be! This is bad…I don’t want a stalker…but I guess it’s OK, since she’s so cute. No, wait, that can’t be right? What if she stabs me with a knife?! Or she might set my house on fire, or take my parents hostage…but, since she’s got a good personality, it’s OK right? Wait wait, no, stalkers don’t have good personalities…but that’s not entirely unacceptable either—
Even after thinking this over and over again in his brain for three seconds, Mikado still had no idea what to say to his classmate standing in front of him.
On seeing Mikado’s strained expression, Anri smiled:
“I was kidding!”
“Eh…”
“Don’t worry, I’m not a stalker. It would only cause trouble if someone like me was following you around.”
When he realized Anri had been merely teasing him, Mikado felt pretty embarrassed for having been seen through, and was plagued with a sense of guilt that far exceeded that embarrassment.
“…Sorry.”
“Eh? Ah, it’s alright! I was the one teasing you, you don’t need to apologise!”
Anri hadn’t thought that Mikado would suddenly apologise to her, and she looked rather alarmed under those glasses.
He was at a loss at what to do now, so Mikado could only force something out:
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow—right?”
“Um then I hope we’ll work well together from tomorrow onwards.”
—Sonohara-san can be pretty sly sometimes…but she’s a good person.
After parting ways with her, Mikado thought this on his way home.
So she wasn’t as mysterious as he’d thought her to be, and was simply not good at dealing with people.
Masaomi and I could very well become like them if I’m not careful. That’s because I was only able to come to this new world with Masaomi’s help.
Mikado shook his head vigorously, and told himself that he shouldn’t think like that.
Then, Mikado thought of Harima-san who had been rejected by the person she like and then had gone missing and murmured to himself, “Looks like she was dumped pretty harshly. But if she’s just given up like that, then maybe she’s not that crazy a stalker…”
But, based on what Anri had said, she’d forced open the lock of the house of a guy she merely liked and broken in, and had done so when she was in junior high. Would someone like that really just give up on their ‘soulmate’ just because they were threatened with the neighbourhood police?
When he realized he was starting to get seriously concerned a stalker girl he’d never met before, Mikado raised his head, and sighed deeply.
—Sigh. Even though I look forward to unconventional things, I don’t want to get involved with something like this.
Mikado who had lapsed into a bout of depression decided to find a way to lift his spirits. So he decided to go to the hundred yen store before going home.
—And then he heard a sound that had everything to do with logic and reality.
It was the roar of the engine that sounded so much like an animal’s caterwaul. That intermittent low roar sounded especially eager today.
“It’s the black bike!”
He didn’t think he’d be able to hear the sound of its engine even beside this small station. Mikado couldn’t restrain his curiosity. Unthinkingly, he ran in the direction of the sound.
Based on the volume of the sound, he just needed to turn into one more intersection and he’d be able to see it. Unable to suppress his roiling emotions, Mikado swerved sharply into an alley—
And with that, Mikado began playing out a scene from an old manga.
Note:
-Panic!!
-PANIC!!
-IS SHE A STALKER wait is that okay since she's cute NO WAIT STALKERS AREN'T OKAY--
-Oh
-She's joking
-Well played
-Embarrassed and guilty for believing her!
-Contemplating Anri, Mika and his situation with Kida on his way home
-When suddenly--!! but that's for another memory
What we learned: Right after memory 22. After discussing Mika they get ready to part ways. Then Anri starts saying things like she's been Mikado's stalker too and he panics. She says she was joking and relieved and embarrassed he apologizes. THUS BEGINS their continued awkwardness together forever. It's cute. Mikado decides she's not mysterious but rather bad at socializing and she's a good person and he likes her! He also reflects that he and Kida could reflect Anri and Mika if Mikado isn't careful not to let Kida overshadow him.
He feels a little down, and then hears the sound of the black bike! Excited he heads to see--
