“Patrolling the neighborhood’s main roads… Duration… The whole day…”
“Yes yes! And check out the reward! Isn’t it pretty nice!?”
As he checked the quest document, Yuugo turned his eyes to the reward, and a serious expression formed on his face.
He was not too familiar with the prices and currency value of that world in general, but he figured it must be a good job, if Melt said so.
And since he was going to be relying on that quest system going forward, he thought he should accept it, if nothing else, just to try it.
“All right. I’ll accept this job too. Thanks for having me.”
“Thank you! I could only accept this ’till tomorrow! I thought I’d have to let this chance get away, if I didn’t manage to find someone! You really saved me here!”
Once Yuugo agreed to accept the quest with Melt, she took his hand and swung it up and down to show her appreciation.
Yuugo smiled awkwardly at Melt, who for better or worse, wore her heart on her sleeve, but he also wondered how to get her to stop. But then…
“Big brother? Who is she?”
“O-oh, Phi? This is, ah…”
When Phi got back to their table with the meal tickets, Yuugo tried to answer his question, but the words did not come out.
There was the fact that everyone hated him too, but he also thought introducing a girl he just met a few minutes ago as a friend would be too brazen, so he struggled with how to introduce her to his little brother.
But Melt noticed Yuugo’s concern, and turned to Phi.
“Nice to meet you! I’m Melt Epee! I’m a friend of your big brother!”
“Friend…? Big brother, is that true…?”
“Y-yes, well, I guess so.”
Phi had to ask his big brother, while unable to hide how surprised he was by the girl puffing out her big chest and unashamedly calling his big brother her friend with a smile on her face.
Yuugo was a little taken aback, but he also had no reason to disagree, so he confirmed what Melt said. A big smile then formed on Phi’s face, as he took Melt’s hand and also introduced himself.
“N-nice to meet you! I’m Phi Clay!”
“Ooh! You’re an energetic one! Nice to meet you!”
“Uu…! I can’t believe my big brother actually made a friend…! I’m so happy…!”
“…Phi? That kind of hurts. You’re not making fun of me, are you?”
His big brother made a friend… The fact that this was enough to make tears well up in Phi’s eyes, made Yuugo feel a bit gloomy.
Then again, he was the most hated person in the academy, and he lost everything after being thrown out of his family, so making a friend in that situation really was a reason to feel happy.
And as Melt saw Yuugo with an expressionless face and his mouth closed, as his little brother was concerned about him to the point of tears and was so happy for him, she turned to Yuugo with a cheerful smile.
“Your little brother really likes you. I knew from our little back and forth too, but you really are completely different from what I heard.”
“Ah… Well I told you, I’m suffering from memory loss. That means my personality is different too. Probably.”
“That might be true, but if you really were a bad person, your little brother wouldn’t like you this much. Have some confidence! I don’t think you’re as bad as you think!”
Melt complimented Yuugo with a nice smile on her face.
It had been a while, it really had been a while since Yuugo heard compliments from anyone other than Phi, and her words along with her smile brought him an indescribable sense of happiness.
(It’s like, you know… An executive from the evil side’s heart being moved by a magic girl fighting for justice…)
It was like something out of anime he sometimes watched on Sunday morning.
A cold evil heart being melted by the shining light of justice and love, that then turned the other character into someone who stood by the magical girl as a fellow magical girl. Then Yuugo took it a step further and started thinking about how if he reincarnated as a villainess instead, this would turn into a melancholic yuri scene.
And as he thought too much about this, he expressed his gratitude to Melt.
“Thank you. Ah… Sorry, but what do I call you?”
“Just Melt! The fact that you even care about that sort of thing just goes to show that you really aren’t evil! I’m glad you’re my first friend here!”
She said as she took Yuugo’s hand and shook it.
As Yuugo looked at this girl, who was bright and honest, and whose smile had the strange charm to make everyone around her smile too, he thought.
(She’s the type to be a main character in Pre○y Cure… Transferring from another school is a common thing for first episodes too, and even her hair color fits perfectly.)
She had excellent communication skills, her personality was bright, and she was carefree enough to make friends at the drop of a hat. She was just like a magical girl that would be the main character of a Sunday morning anime.
As he thought about how being her first friend made him the red, or maybe the orange color close friend character, Yuugo felt very happy about making his first friend since reincarnating into that world, and smiled.

Bro, Yuugo is so sweet.
He makes a friend and he instantly makes her to be the either red or orange on the squad.
