While Kazakami Ritsu was stunned, the girl had already walked up to her with a puzzled tilt of her head.
“Kazakami-san, you couldn’t have… forgotten me, right?”
Kazakami Ritsu’s body stiffened, and a professional smile appeared on her face.
‘This classmate is really sharp. Can I just admit it along these lines?’
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the girl reveal a look of deep thought on her face.
“I remember we were on pretty good terms back then. We often walked home together and even participated in the cultural festival performance together…”
Now, Kazakami Ritsu could no longer maintain the fake smile on her face.
‘What’s the point of struggling now? I’m already cornered!’
Kazakami Ritsu, restraining her smile, sighed and revealed a look full of apology.
“I’m really sorry. I was in a traffic accident before, so my memories from before high school are a bit…”
Before Kazakami Ritsu, who was giving a hundred percent of her acting ability, could finish, the JK before her cast a suspicious gaze.
‘This person couldn’t be lying, could she… Why haven’t I heard about her being in any traffic accident?’
Meeting the girl’s suspicious gaze, Kazakami Ritsu continued to explain without a change in expression.
“I was knocked to the ground by a bicycle going downhill at the time. My head seems to have hit something, so…”
Listening to the increasingly outrageous explanation, the girl covered her forehead with her hand.
“Alright, you don’t need to say anymore. Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Kirishima Shirono. We were classmates from the first year of middle school until graduation.”
To prevent this person from saying even more outrageous stories, Kirishima Shirono introduced herself with some gnashing of teeth.
‘How did the good child who was not good at socializing and followed me around all day, treating me as her only friend, become like this?’
‘A traffic accident with a downhill bicycle injuring her brain or something… perhaps only the part about her brain being injured is true!’
Seeing that she seemed to have successfully muddled through, Kazakami Ritsu breathed a sigh of relief and also began to introduce herself.
“Oh… so it’s Kirishima-san. Hello, I am Kazakami from GS… Sorry, I’ve gotten used to saying it recently.”
Kazakami Ritsu, realizing she had accidentally spoken out of habit, closed her mouth, her expression calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.
As long as you are not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is others.
Kirishima Shirono did feel a bit embarrassed right now, but being able to meet Kazakami Ritsu here was already a very unexpected thing for her.
“Um… Kazakami, are you here for some activity?”
To prevent the atmosphere from becoming more awkward, Kirishima Shirono, who prided herself on being a social butterfly, quickly adjusted her mentality and threw out a topic.
Kazakami Ritsu nodded and took out her phone to check the time.
“I have an appointment to meet an industry senior here. She said she would show me around.”
‘Hmm, it’s not time for the appointment yet.’
Seeing Kazakami Ritsu’s small action of checking the time, an alarm bell rang in Kirishima Shirono’s heart.
‘What?! Is the industry senior a man or a woman? Kazakami couldn’t have been deceived emotionally, could she?!’
Thinking this in her heart, Kirishima Shirono clenched her fists and decided to accompany this middle school friend of hers to meet that senior.
“Is that so? Speaking of which, I’m actually quite interested in your industry, so could I… come along with you?”
‘Hah? Is this middle school classmate so overly familiar?’
Kazakami Ritsu was a bit stunned; she really hadn’t thought she would encounter this situation.
She originally thought she would have an awkward chat with this middle school classmate for a bit, then leave on the pretext of being late.
Why did it turn out like this!
“This, this might not be very good…”
Noticing that Kazakami Ritsu seemed a bit reluctant, Kirishima Shirono became more certain of her guess.
‘Absolutely right! Kazakami-san has definitely been deceived by a scumbag!’
As a sense of justice welled up in her heart, Kirishima Shirono decided to help this little friend recognize the true face of the scumbag.
“Please, I promise I’ll just ask a few questions later and definitely won’t cause you any trouble.”
Kirishima Shirono, having made up her mind, put her hands together and revealed a pleading expression on her face.
‘Hiss… what is there to be curious about with voice actors?’
Kazakami Ritsu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded.
However, she still took out her phone and sent a message to her senior explaining the situation.
[ArashiRinEnGaku: Senior… I ran into a middle school classmate in Akihabara. She’s insisting on coming with me to meet you. What should I do?] (Read)
Seeing the word “Read” instantly appear after the chat bubble, Kazakami Ritsu was somewhat surprised.
[World’s Number One Female Lead: Is that so? Then just bring her along. I was just about to ask you where you were.] (Read)
Seeing that Umemiya Hiro didn’t seem to mind at all, Kazakami Ritsu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
‘Well, this senior of mine does have a super nice personality.’
“Let’s go, let’s go to the appointed place together.”
Putting away her phone, Kazakami Ritsu turned her head and said to Kirishima Shirono beside her.
The two walked on the streets of Akihabara, with Kirishima Shirono unilaterally recounting fun stories from their middle school days.
“Do you remember the day we first started school? I was sitting in front of you, and you took the initiative to say you wanted to be friends with me.”
‘There was such a thing? Was I actually a social butterfly in the past?’
Kazakami Ritsu, who defaulted to being socially anxious, found this statement somewhat hard to believe.
“Only after I agreed did I realize that you, this fellow, had only made friends with me and even said that having one friend in school was enough. You never made any other friends after that…”
Noticing the surprised expression on Kazakami Ritsu’s face, Kirishima Shirono added with a face full of helplessness.
Kazakami Ritsu nodded in satisfaction at this explanation.
‘Very good, as expected of me. It can be called a model of targeted socialization.’
‘As long as I can become best friends with the most social person in the group, that’s equivalent to becoming friends with the whole class.’
However, Kirishima Shirono clearly didn’t think so. She looked at Kazakami Ritsu nodding with a satisfied face, somewhat resentfully.
‘What the hell are you nodding at! Why are you proud of this kind of thing?’
Just as the two were chatting, Kazakami Ritsu noticed they had already arrived at the previously appointed shop.
“Hmm, it’s Kasumi no Hana, that’s right…”
Kazakami Ritsu stopped walking and muttered this.
There seem to be a few more words after it? Kasumi no Hana… Maid Cafe?
After seeing the details on the sign clearly, Kazakami Ritsu’s eyes immediately widened.
‘No! What kind of senior would choose a maid cafe as the meeting place to meet a junior?!’
Not only Kazakami Ritsu, but Kirishima Shirono beside her had already clenched her fists.
‘This scumbag! He’s too despicable!’
‘Meeting at this kind of place… could it be he wants Kazakami to wear a maid outfit?’
Thinking of this possibility, Kirishima Shirono’s thoughts paused slightly.
‘Wait, that seems pretty good too?’
