I have found out your real name

Chapter 233 girls talk (continued)

It is said that Vlad III, the Impaler in history, once took the initiative to lead an army to attack an ambush set by an enemy who was superior to his own, and achieved a miracle of defeating a large number with a small number.

Therefore, sometimes, even if you know clearly that the front is a trap, a man-eating tiger, or a garlic hell, you still have to step into it.

It was with this tragic realization that Erica Tepes walked into the family restaurant on the corner of the street the next morning.

As the members of the Brave Club were busy these past few days, it was their day off before they knew it. Naturally, there wouldn't be many customers in the family restaurant in the morning, so she immediately saw Hoshikawa-san who asked her out.

Oops, my stomach is starting to hurt.

Because she kept guessing about the other party's intentions, she spent last night tossing and turning.

Although as a vampire, I wouldn't be sleepy, but when I thought about the answer being revealed, I felt similar to Hoshikawa-san who was waiting for the results of the exam.

"Here."

Aoi Hoshikawa, who was sitting by the window, waved to her. Breakfast for two was already placed on the table.

Airisa vaguely remembered hearing Li Wu’s story about the so-called Hongmen Banquet, but after all, it was the first time she had gone to a family restaurant with her classmates, so she felt a little happy.

"What drink would you like, Erika?"

After she came over, Xingchuan Aoi stood up.

"Ah, well, I can just go by myself."

Airisa followed, facing the colorful buttons of the self-service drink machine, hesitating not knowing which one to press.

Aoi Hoshikawa helped her choose hot milk. The fragrant liquid was poured into the glass and swirled around. The undulating surface was like the little vampire's thoughts at the moment.

"Have you never used anything similar? You are indeed a young lady."

"No, it's not. It's just that I haven't had any experience with people before, so I'm not used to it."

Erika explained in a panic, but the other party just smiled casually.

"It's just a joke - you can hang out with me in the future."

As if they really just wanted to have dinner with her, the two enjoyed a delicious breakfast while chatting, and Airisa gradually became calmer.

Maybe it's just because I'm too suspicious that I think Xingchuan-san has something to do with me alone at this time. It's really bad for me to doubt my friend.

"Although we are all in the same club, Airisa and Horirin-san seem to have a particularly good relationship."

Irisa, who was immersed in self-blame, subconsciously responded while holding the milk: "Well, Xiaoguang takes good care of me."

"I see. In fact, I feel like she seems to be somewhat hostile towards me recently..."

"Cough cough cough!"

"Arisa?!"

Aoi Hoshikawa quickly took the tissue and handed it to her, "What happened suddenly...do you know anything?"

"I, I don't know."

Airisa wiped the corner of her mouth, her eyes wandering, as if she was an undercover agent of a black organization who was suspected on a primary school detective set, "Could it be that Hoshikawa-san has misunderstood? After all, Xiaoguang can sometimes make people feel unpredictable." "

"No, it's obviously different."

The magical girl trusts her instincts, "For example, she had to fight with me during the second seal. Now that I think about it, it feels unnatural."

Airisa's hand holding the glass trembled slightly.

"After he came out, he provoked me for no reason."

Trembling spread throughout the body.

"The reaction when I participated in the discussion and left last night was also very strange." Airisa turned on the high-frequency vibration mode, and a few milky white water stains were sprinkled on the table.

"So, I want to ask Airisa if she knows why this is?"

Xingkawa Aoi raised her hands to support her chin, her thin lips pursed into a thin line, but the words she spat out were like thunder exploding in her ears.

"After all, you stayed at Horin-san's house a few days ago, so you must know him well, right?"

"How did Hoshikawa-san know this?!"

Airisa almost lost her chopsticks in fear like an ancient person.

"Hmph, that's right."

The girl opposite had a sinister look on her face, "I saw the three of you coming together that morning and I thought it was strange - Airisa's usual route obviously didn't coincide with theirs. So that's the truth. I thought you lived there." It’s at Li Jun’s house.”

The question just now turned out to be a lie to me!

Why, how could Hoshikawa-san be so smart in this regard? This is impossible!

She was as unbelievable as seeing a primary school student solving Goldbach's conjecture.

As if she had read through Airisa's thoughts, the girl who transformed into a strategist smiled contemptuously.

"It's very simple. Just switch your thinking to [combat] mode. Summarizing weaknesses, testing the enemy, bluffing... these are all commonly used techniques."

Are all the magical girls in the Countermeasures Bureau monsters? !

"So, Airisa..."

As if to stop her trembling, the other party's slender fingers came up and pressed her slightly cold palm. To an outsider, it probably looked like a pair of close friends shaking hands.

"Please tell me, do you know what Horirin-san thinks?"

Her pupils reflected her thinking expression.

Airisa recalled a conversation she had with Hikaru when she first learned that two of her friends had become lovers.

"Xiao Ai, are you feeling sad?"

She suddenly asked as they sat on a bench on the street together.

"Sad? Of course not!"

Her answer, which had not yet been able to be honest with each other at that time, was naturally like this, "It just felt too sudden. Those two people really, completely hid it from everyone..."

"Wait and hope."

The other party pressed her shoulders and forcibly turned the girl who didn't want to face others around, talking to herself as if he didn't hear what she just said.

"...You stole lines from characters in Hoshikawa-san's favorite game."

Although she said this, her friend's half-hearted consolation succeeded in making her laugh from tears at that time.

The scene switched to the time when they first met each other under the threat of Hyakki Yakou; when they were being fooled around by her in the small activity room; when the relationship between bullying and being bullied occasionally changed, she choked and couldn't speak. When the words came, he would run to a corner alone and not speak, and even refuse to communicate online. He was even more autistic than himself. The first time he stayed in someone else's house and slept together, he almost woke up the next day. When she fainted...

In the end, the memory was fixed on the empty bed and the scene he saw that night.

It's true that we spent quite a happy time together.

"I think... maybe it's because of Hoshikawa-san's boyfriend."

Airisa turned her head to the side, looked at the figure of the betrayer reflected in the restaurant window, and said softly.
