About the case of destruction flags being demolished after a nichiasa loving otaku was reincarnated as a villainous student – Chapter 262 – An invitation from a combat miko

“Ueh!? M-me…!?”

Yuugo let out a confused voice, not expecting this development.

Phi and Yui behind him, Ryuuga, Melt, and An near him, and the ignored Shian and Egos were also dumbfounded, as Setsuna continued.

“That’s an interesting reaction. I thought you would just be happy.”

“N-no, I was just wondering why me… I really wasn’t expecting that…”

“Fufu…! What a strange thing to say. There was plenty of chance this would happen, right?”

Setsuna’s smile intensified as she said this, and she brought her face closer to Yuugo’s.

Yuugo was surprised, as this undoubtedly beautiful girl approached him, and Setsuna whispered while his face turned red.

“You defeated gigantes with Ryuuga Renjou. Isn’t it natural for people to be interested in your power?”

Setsuna explained her reasons succinctly, and pulled back slowly.

Yuugo remembered how Uno said what happened that day was to remain a secret known only to those who were present, and breathed a small sigh of relief upon realizing why Setsuna brought her face so close. Meanwhile, Shian and Egos snapped out of their surprise and jumped in.

“W-wait, Setsuna! That’s Yuugo Clay, the academy’s biggest scum!! He’s not someone that should be involved with an exchange student from Yamato!!”

“That’s right! I’m telling you for your own good, you should stop that!!”

This warning was very valid, considering Yuugo’s character before he lost his memory, but… Since Yuugo knew what these two had done, he wanted to ask who were they to talk. He stayed silent, thinking that would just complicate things, but Setsuna ignored Shian and Egos once again, and continued speaking to Yuugo.

“Maybe it’s because we are near the insectary, but these insects are so loud. We can’t have a proper conversation here, so I was wondering if we could talk alone.”

“I-insects…!?”

Shian and Egos were not just being ignored, they were now being called insects, and the shock made them freeze.

Setsuna’s treatment of them went beyond cold into the merciless, and Yuugo was a little nervous as he asked a question.

“K-Kogarashi? I know I’m talking about myself, but what those two are saying isn’t necessarily wrong. I do have a pretty bad reputation…”

“I know that. I looked into you. It does seem you are hated by many students. But lately you have solved a lot of incidents involving monster armor beasts, and earned the trust of some students and teachers. More importantly, despite just meeting Ryuuga Renjou, you fought shoulder to shoulder as partners. I don’t think someone like this could simply be scum.”

Interest and curiosity shined in Setsuna’s eyes.

And as these eyes faced Yuugo, she spoke with a small smile as if testing him.

“I don’t like special treatment, so you don’t have to be overly polite with me. And since I am calling you by your first name, do the same. So? Will you accept my date invitation? I want to talk with you during our break, if it’s all right with you…”

Setsuna used the word date while suddenly approaching Yuugo.

But… Her attitude made Yuugo regain his composure, and he rejected while using his words carefully.

“I’m happy and honored that you would be interested in me, and I’m sorry, but not today. I have to introduce my partner… Ryuuga, to my friends, and I promised my little brother I would spend the break with him. Sorry, but we are going to have to talk another time.”

“Fufu…! Well, it can’t be helped if you have a prior engagement. Well then, I will take my leave this time. Let’s have a nice conversation next time, Yuugo.”

Setsuna seemed somewhat happy about being rejected, and left with a smile on her face.

Shian and Egos followed her, trying to get her to talk to them.

Yuugo was left behind with an expression that was hard to describe, as his friends approached him and spoke.
