Fake 101: The Next Goal

“Aoi, I ranked 21st in this time’s test. It is all thanks to you.”

“No, that was because Rin-kun worked hard every day. At this rate, I think you can aim for the top 10 in the second year. As expected of Rin-kun.”

“Eh!? The top 10?”

“Yes, Rin-kun’s improvement since last time has been nothing short of amazing, so keep it up just a little more.”

“That is, because you’ve been helping me……”

Me, the top 10 in my grade? Aoi, isn’t that really impossible? I mean, even this time I already had to surpass my limits to get such results. Don’t tell me, is this something I have to achieve no matter what?
Looking at Aoi’s face, she looked very serious.
I knew it. Aoi never makes this kind of joke.

“By the way, Aoi, how did your test go?”

“I ranked 2nd this time.”

“2nd is amazing. Even so, I am surprised that there is someone above Aoi.”

“I’ve also put in a lot of effort this time, so 2nd place is a bit frustrating. But, it can’t be helped since it is a reflection of my current ability.”

Aoi, who says “it can’t be helped” even after getting 2nd place, is surely amazing. Be that as it may, me being in the top 10…… I can’t imagine it at all.
Well, there is still time until the next test, so I will think about it then.

“By the way, Aoi, what are your plans for spring break? Are you going to Monaco?”

“I’ve thought about it as well, but papa and mama might come over here instead.”

“Coming here means… to Japan?”

“Yes, papa and mama said they wanted to properly greet Rin-kun as well.”

“To greet me……!”

Aoi has always been taking care of me so much, so it is a given that I should at least greet her parents. However, just thinking about it makes me feel nervous.

“Aoi’s parents, what kind of people are they?”

“Both of them are frank and kind, you know. I am sure Rin-kun will get along well with them.”

“I hope so.”

“Rin-kun often comes up in conversations, so it seems like both of them can’t wait to meet you even now.”

Conversations about me at a place without me. Just what on earth are they discussing about me? Since it is Aoi, I don’t think it would be anything bad. But, I wonder if it is really okay?
I’d like it if we could get along. But, if they dislike me, it might even end up affecting my ‘partner’ relationship with Aoi.
In any case, I don’t have any plans for spring break. That’s why, if Aoi won’t be present, I intend to go solo as it’s been a long while since I’ve done so.
The moment I got home walking together with Aoi, our Survives got a reaction.

“ “Beep Beep.” ”

“At least for lunch, I wanted to take my time eating. But there is nothing we can do about this. Shall we go, Aoi?”

“Yes, let’s head out immediately after we get ready.”

I put on my equipment and left my room.
I’ve also gotten used to wearing under armor, so I was able to put it on in a much shorter time compared to my early days. (T/N: It was inner armor before, but it has changed now. Blame the author for inconsistency.)
When I left the room, Aoi was already waiting for me completely ready.

“Shall we go then?”

“Yes.”

Riding our racing bicycles, we headed to the place where the monsters were located. As it is March, the temperature has been rising considerably. And adding to the fact that the under armor also serves as protection against the cold, it is pretty comfortable.
Since it’s for a request, I might get scolded if I say this out loud. But, I’ve taken a liking to these moments of traveling because it just feels like Aoi and I are just cycling together.
