Chapter 3-Going to School with Her <Triumphant with the Witch of Hades>.

I was standing in the park, waiting for her while fidgeting. Yesterday, while I was in agony over my actions, she contacted me and asked me to go to school with her today. This is nice, this kind of novel-like scenario is making me excited.

“I’m sorry, did I keep you waiting?”

“No, not at all.”

A girl behind me said something that made me feel like I was in a novel. In reality, I waited for quite a while because I came earlier than the appointed time. But that was a secret.

I turned around and there was a beautiful black-haired girl in a school uniform. At first glance, she looked like a sophisticated young lady. She had long, silky black hair and beautiful white porcelain-like skin. I’m sure everyone wouldn’t believe that she was doing some crazy chuuni stuff under the name of Benihana. That’s the best part, though.

“Please stop telling lies. You arrived ten minutes before our appointed time.”

“Eh, how did you know that?”

She made an awkward expression at my question, then she turned her face down and whispered in a whining tone. Eh, what’s up with her?

“I was really embarrassed, and I couldn’t find the right time to call you out…”

“Damn, you’re so cute.”

“Shut up, aren’t you the one who showed up earlier than the meeting time, because you were excited to go to school with me?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, are you reading light novels too much?”

This person has reached enlightenment! Is she telling me that she was aware that I couldn’t sleep at all because I was so nervous, and that I arrived ten minutes earlier because I was so excited that I couldn’t stand it any longer? Shit, I was determined to take this secret to Hades. But… She’s the witch of Hades after all!!

She was back to her old habits, and I seriously doubted that she would be able to survive her school life like this… This girl is going to mess up soon.

“I was happy when you contacted me yesterday asking me to go to school with you.”

“Well, even though it’s fake, we’re still a couple, so I thought it would be better to do something couple-like like this. Isn’t it nice being able to go to school with a beautiful girl like me, Shinya-san?”

“Yeah, I’m so happy to go to school with a Chuunibyou, beautiful girl like Beni.”

“I’ll stop calling myself a beautiful girl! So please stop saying I’m a beautiful girl too…”

Beni glared at me while blushing, for some reason she felt embarrassed when I called her a beautiful girl. But it’s true that she was a beautiful girl, so it couldn’t be helped. Well, teasing her too much would be awkward, so I changed the topic.

“Well, are you going to speak like that when we’re alone?”

“Yes, because we never know when someone from the organization will be listening.”

Ahー indeed, we’re on the way to school and you never know when you’ll run into a classmate. As I was thinking to myself, she whispered in my ear so that only I could hear.

“Besides, having both the angel me and the devilish me would be more fun for you.”

I was horrified by her words. With her beautiful face and a mysterious air around her, she smiled at me enchantingly. Ahー I can’t get enough of this girl. I was so glad to be reunited with her.

The trip to school went without a hitch, and when I met Eriko on the way, she looked at me seriously, and I remembered that I hadn’t replied to her message. I was too busy chatting with Beni after all. I’d have to explain what happened yesterday to her later.

When I arrived at school and sat down in my seat, Okita called out to me as usual.

“Yo, you’re in a good mood today, were you summoned by a princess or something?”

“More like I was summoned by the Witch of Hades.”

“Hmmm… more importantly, listen, I pulled a rare character out of a gacha yesterday. Isn’t she cute?”

Recalling yesterday’s and this morning’s events, I was grinning as I listened to Okita’s story. I wonder where this guy is getting his money when he doesn’t even have a part-time job.

The class started as usual. The only things that changed were Eriko’s occasional alternating glances between me and Beni, and Okita’s over spending on social games. During break time, Beni was happily talking with her female friends, especially to Eriko, so I tried not to talk to her. I couldn’t wait to talk to Beni. Just as I was thinking such silly things, the chime announced the end of the morning classes. It was finally time for lunch break.

I wondered if I should head to the school store with Okita as usual. Shouldn’t I talk to Beni about this? However, it would be unwise to get in the way of her making friends when she’s just transferred here.

“Shinya, what will you do for lunch today? I want to play the shadow event, so why don’t we buy some bread from the store for lunch?”

“Ahー I actually have some appointments.”

“Oh, is there a girl you’re interested in? Maybe Tanaka-san, but you can’t ask her out for lunch, can you? Do you want me to ask her out?”

Okita laughed teasingly. Sorry, but I’m a guy who’s way ahead of your imagination. As I was feeling triumphant in my mind, a familiar voice called out to me.

“I’ve made a lunch box for you, Shinya-san, would you like to eat it with me?”

“Eh, seriously? I’m really looking forward to it.”

“What?”

I turned around and saw Beni standing there with a lunch box wrapped in a black cloth. The back of that cloth probably had anime characters or magic circles drawn on it. That aside, a girl’s homemade bento is pretty impressive. I’m so excited.

“It will be nice if you can take me to a place where I can relax since I’m still getting used to school.”

“Yeah, I think I know a perfect place. Okita, sorry, I can’t eat with you anymore.”

“Huuuuuuh?”

We left the classroom, leaving Okita with a look of disbelief on his face. Looking for a place to relax… meaning a place where she can be her true self without being exposed. I was like a hero who’s helping a magical girl hide her true identity. It was pretty exciting.

“It’s a lie… No way… am I going to dye my hands with my friend’s blood…”

Okita was saying something very disturbing, but I didn’t care.
