章節 12: 12 Tadano-kun, My Love.
- Bonus Story -
"By the way, since when did you start streaming, and what made you do it?" One day, my husband asked me a question as we lay down on the same bed for the first time.
"That is..." I started recalling the occurrence that happened half a year ago.
***
"I am back, Chloe, did you behave like a good girl today?" Entering the house, my husband started smiling like usual.
"Jeez, stop treating me like a child," I complained but being reminded of my everyday actions, I was truly like a child.
"Anyway, you haven't eaten any food yet, right? Wait a little bit, I will cook you one," then he walked to the kitchen and began cooking the food.
However, in contrast to usual, the spatula in his hand stopped moving. I noticed this early because I liked watching him cook, but if I were a bit late, his face would have been scorched in the boiling water.
The reason for this was exhaustion. Although my husband is immune to illness, he wasn't immune to fatigue. Yet, despite being so exhausted that he want to dive into his bed, he kept his smile for me and began cooking.
That day was one of the more times I've been aware of my uselessness and I thought to truly fix myself.
I wanted to help him because even if I am a dame-ningen or what my husband calls me, it's not that I want to stay useless. But I have no useful skill except for assassination.
I was bad at everything, don't want to go outside, sleeps for a long time, is lazy most time, and enjoys being spoiled rotten by him.
On my way, I did everything to look up what I could do at the house and found one.
At that time after I brought my husband's unconscious body back to his bed, my brain evoked memories of my favorite YouTuber, Murasaki Shion.
Murasaki Shion, despite being warned not to stream as a top player who uses magic, still live-streamed because she enjoys interacting with her viewers.
***
"I was inspired by Murasaki Shion half a year ago, I think?" I deliberately simplified my sentences because I was too embarrassed to tell all the reasons.
"Hm, that's more of a simple reason than I thought. I was sure that you wanted to become more useful than me right now after some incident happened or something," I sometimes despise my husband's intelligence despite being insensitive.

Soon after entering through the school gate, I suddenly met with the person that was in server covers. This person was probably the main character of this server.
I walked up to him, "Yo since you're using this locker, that means we're from the same year, good morning."
"Ah, I am Tadano Hitohito, nice meeting you, good morni-," Tadano stopped himself mid-sentence as he looked at me, and behind my back, with his mouth wide open.
'Hm?' Confused, I looked at my back and opened my mouth wide in shock.
The person behind me, who just now passed by, was a beauty beyond my imagination.
A thin waistline that was within a perfect healthy line. Plump breasts that weren't too big. A hair that smoothly flowed down to her waist and finally the cold face of a goddess that refused anyone to get near her.
'As expected of romance manga, is she the kuudere type of heroine?' I silently made my guess as I started a conversation with Tadano-kun.
"She was beautiful, wasn't she? Ah, Tadano-kun, I'm Shirasaki Karma, it'd be good if our seat isn't too far awa- ouch, ouch. I forgot about it, this one here is Sakamata Chloe," I introduced both myself and Chloe.
As I praised the heroine (probably)'s appearance, my wife pinched my flank weakly. 'Is she jealous? That's cute.'
"By the way, let's greet that girl from before," I felt like I was regaining my lost youth... Although my wife didn't seem too happy about me talking about other women, she didn't complain.
"Wha- no, no. A person like me knows you are already a weird thing but being a friend with that person is out of the question!" Tadano said embarrassedly.
I was unaware of it, but after I cut my hair and got my skin cleaned, my look was far above average.
"Really? You don't know their personality before you talk to her. Besides, it's she who decides whether you being friends with her is out of the question," my insensitivity about human relationships was working great for my side.
"I guess, that's how it works..." I somehow convinced Tadano-kun, and we walked together to follow the heroine(probably), as Chloe disappeared without my awareness.
I wasn't too worried about her safety because despite losing most of her strength, she was stronger than the average person and knew a way or two to defend herself.
"...By the way, is it just my imagination but I feel like a bunch of intense gazes around us..." my entire body shivered due to being affected by acts I wasn't used to.
'Does the Tadano-kun releases some pheromones that drive a girl crazy? That seems possible, he does look like a clueless protagonist,' at this time, I didn't know how off I was from my guess.
"Are Karma-kun not aware of your own looks?" Tadano said to me as we walks side-by-side.
"Wait, are you implying that I look good?" I asked rather surprised because not once have I been praised for my looks since 12 years old.
In response, Tadano nodded, "my first impression of you is that you are a cool person that won't talk much and is capable of doing anything but when you talked to me, I thought that was an act or, you were unconsciously acting like that because you were forced and is used to acting like it in the past..."
Tadano halted and apologized, "uh, I am sorry for talking too much, it made you uncomfortable getting judged by a person who just became your friend, didn't it?"
"No, honestly, it's amazing, please continue more about what you think of me!" my eyes lightened up at the main character's precise analyses.
"T-then, I won't hold back, please forgive me if I was wrong. Uh, for some reason, maybe because you've graduated middle school and are entering high school, you are working hard to change yourself and start communicating with everyone,"
I nodded with a satisfied face, "I see, so that's how you think of me, and I look cool."
Then, I grinned, "then it was worth getting my haircut. Tadano-kun, looking forward with you for the next 3 years."
This was the day I fell in love with the main protagonist... Not in a weird way, obviously.
[You have made a discovery about Tadano Hitohito]

Although it won't be reaching the level of reading others' minds, it won't be too worse and in some cases, it's better.
"Me too," Tadano-kun smiled widely as we shook hands, indicating the true beginning of our lifetime friendship.
"That's right, let's have a bet about you. I bet you would end up being in the backseat, and on your next is that beautiful girl," I nodded after completing my sentence.
'What is a romance manga without the heroine on your next seat?' What do you say, as a child back then, I loved romance manga just next to action manga.
"T-there is no way I would be so... lucky..." Tadano became embarrassed with what he was talking about.
[Tadano Hitohito: Favorability 23, Considers you as normal friend.]
---
He really was that lucky, the cold-looking beauty from before was sitting just next to his chair and at the same time, the end of his peaceful school life was announced as the hateful glare gathered around him.
'Good luck' I raised my thumb and nodded at Tadano-kun as our eyes met.
Immediately, Tadano nodded back to me, half-tearing.
I was glad to find Tadano-kun's seat on the same horizontal line meaning I just have to turn my head left to see him. By the way, Chloe's seat was just diagonal left from my position meaning she can see both me and the protagonists if she wanted to.
I then shifted my gaze to the person next to me, "Hello Ms. Neighbour. I am Shirasaki Karma, looking forward to studying with you for a year," I kept a calm smile knowing that I actually look good now.
"!... Oh..." the girl next to me looked at me in silence before getting a hold of herself.
+3... +6... +7... +5... +10...
"Ah, yes! I am Satou Amami, please take good care of me, and ask anything right away if you have something you want me to do!"
For a moment, I felt a chill from behind but I ignored it and nodded to greet my neighbor respectfully.
[Satou Amami: Favorability 31, interested in you.]
I may have gone too far, but I intended to have fun playing this game while growing stronger. It was also the perfect opportunity to regain my lost youth in this seemingly fun unique school.
