27. The Yokozuna’s Brain Strategy Meeting
I take a deep breath for the umpteenth time as I wander down the white corridor that is like a secret base. I’m not trying to memorize the unnecessarily large base, but rather to calm my mind before heading to my next destination. Just now , Himawari came to visit me suddenly, so I couldn’t organize my thoughts properly, but from now on, as Philance Blue, I have to face the heroes seriously.
Philance Blue’s mission is greatly divided into two. One is to improve the abilities of the heroes. In other words, it’s to become close to them. To be honest, it’s difficult for me to get along with girls of all ages and personalities, but Fortunately, everyone seems to like me, so I think I’ll be fine. However, I heard from a friend who used to have a girlfriend that girls have something called “landmines”, and they can suddenly start to hate you.
And the other is to prevent the heroes from going berserk with yandere. This is difficult because I don’t know the correct answer, but basically, I think I should be aware of not going in the direction of the future prophecy. In particular, it seems that my falling in love with someone is a trigger, so I have to be careful not to fall in love without realizing it. I don’t have the confidence to hide it. Himawari, who is younger, is still okay, but is it because they were gathered based on their looks? Everyone is beautiful, and some of them are quite close. Even though I know that they are dangerous yandere girls, it’s sad that I can’t help but look at them with those eyes. Of course, it goes without saying that I can’t lay a hand on them.
Basically, it’s a difficult order to actively approach them to enhance their abilities and control them so that their affection doesn’t run wild. If it were a dating game, it would be very hard mode. If it were a strategy game, it would be shura. Can I, a novice in love, fulfill such a great mission?
“No… I’m the only one who can do it.”
I’m the only one who meets the mysterious criteria of being a natural-born yandere maker and having a special condition of being liked by Akane-san. If I become weak and hesitant, the heroes will stop functioning, and as a result, many people will be put in danger.
Philance Blue can’t fight, but if you think of it as an indirect heroic act, you can feel a little more courageous.
“If I’m too late, she might do something dangerous again, so I should go soon…”
I mutter to myself, as if to no one in particular, and retrace the path I had just walked. It’s hard to believe that a healthy male college student is on his way to meet a busty and gentle older sister. I pass by the Yellow room where I was just now and stand in front of the ‘Blue’ room just beyond it.
Tokiwagi Uguisu-san. She’s a slightly timid older sister who is one year older than me. According to the doctor’s analysis, Uguisu-san has hypochondria and self-harm tendencies, and according to the future me, she’s a “liar”. The future prophecy also mentioned Uguisu-san’s lies. The bullying within the team centered around Akane-san, the favoritism by the doctor, the Shadow that appears in the real world, the words that Uguisu-san lied or imagined are likely to have been told to me before.
The future me was unable to love such a lying Uguisu-san, and in the end, he tried to obtain his own peace of mind by pushing Uguisu-san away. The actions of the future me are very harsh and not to be commended, but I’m sure I would do the same if I were in the same situation. In that video, I could only see up to the point where I left the house, but maybe the series of fights were common between me and Uguisu-san , and we made up after that without learning our lesson. Either way, it’s hard to say that it was a peaceful future, even though no one died.
In order not to lead to such a worst-case future, I carefully prepare what I want to convey in my mind and reach out to knock on the door of my room. It’s a strange feeling to have a woman waiting in my room, but I can close my eyes to that.
“No, wait a minute.”
Suddenly, I think of something important and open my closed eyes. Come to think of it, if Uguisu-san stays in my room like this, won’t it interfere with my duties as Philance Blue?
The Blue-only room, which is provided to the team members but is not necessary because I live at home and don’t need to go out, was going to be used as a storage room for old manga, but if I become close to the heroes in the future, I might end up calling them to my room. Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with that, but close male and female friends seem to play games and have home parties at their houses. Even if that’s not the case, what would happen if someone visited the Blue room and Uguisu-san came out? It would definitely be a misunderstanding.
If Akane-san happened to come on a day when the two of them were not getting along, it’s possible that they would get into a fight. Two women meeting in the absence of the two-timing man would be a minor incident or a condemnation of the man if it were ordinary people, but if heroes with the strength of weapons were to clash in earnest, it could turn into a disaster. I can’t tell what Akane-san is thinking, so I can’t guess how much she would do, and there’s a non-zero chance that an entire city could be destroyed by my infidelity.
No, not infidelity. But I don’t intend to date anyone. I haven’t been confessed to.
“But trying to be actively friendly could be taken that way, couldn’t it?”
As I worry, I gradually start to feel like I’m a conceited cheater, and my heart weakens. Basically, I was just playing brother and sister with an active high school girl until just now, but now I’m going back to my room to meet a gentle older sister. What I’m doing is like a scumbag. The fact that the types are completely opposite makes it seem even more so.
“Both of them have self-harm tendencies, so they’re not complete opposites… Hmm? Is Himawari’s considered other-harm?”
I mutter to
“Whoa!?”
A voice suddenly called out from behind me as I stood before my room, fist raised like an election poster, determined to become a scumbag. I turned around with a strange exclamation, and there stood a woman with a dignified demeanor, her long, deep -green ponytail swaying behind her.
