Episode 25 My Childhood Friend's Secret

TLed by: TanoshiKara

"Everyone is here, yes?"

"Ohhhh, you are back, Rei. What was it? That sudden business you had"

After somehow resolving the commotion caused by Cuare's call for help, I returned to where everyone was. As Miya has to help out at the shop today, we decided to have lunch at the café to contribute even the slightest bit more.

When I returned, Kenta had already ordered his lunch, the Degure Café's Spaghetti Special, and was eating it. Its toppings are huge, and it is a satisfying meal. I, too, have eaten it many times but have not gotten sick of it.

"Actually, my mum came to my apartment"

I talk about the details as I sit beside Kenta. By the way, Aone and Hakumine-senpai is sitting on the other side. Unlike Kenta, it seemed like the two of them were waiting for me to arrive. That said, whether it is because they felt bad for the shop if they did not order anything, they have ordered drinks. Aone ordered iced coffee, and Hakumine-senpai ordered orange juice.

"Seriously? It is no wonder you rushed back"

"Yeah. She said she will be heading over to an acquiantance's place to greet them"

Together with my dad, of course.

"Ho ho? Rei-senpai's parents, huh. If they have come here, then I must greet them as your Kouhai"

"Can I as well?"

"Alright, sure thing"

I guess Hakumine-senpai has changed a little. I feel like there is still a sort of wall, but we can get over that in the future.

"Hey, hey, I see you finally came"

"Yeah. Sorry about leaving so suddenly"

Miya approached us just as our conversation had more or less wrapped up.

Looks like she had already brought out most of what the customers, present at the moment, ordered. As expected of Golden Week. Even the seats that are usually empty are filled. There is also the fact that the café is managed privately, so it is not that spacious.

"No biggie, no biggie. I was a littttle lonely, but your mum came over, so there is no helping that"

"Yeap. Well then, employee-san. I will order right away"

"Please take mine toooo!!"

"M-Me too"

"Alrightyyy, I shall take your orders"

Miya listens to our orders while all this is going on. While Miya was doing that, I used my ability on her.

......There it is, as I had expected. The act that Miya, whom I met in the morning as well, wants to do to me. I thought I was mistaken, but it seems like that is not the case.

|Ho ho? Seems like she wants to kiss your cheek right now. Phweet! Phweet! Eyo! The ever-so-popular protagonist!!"

|Shut up|

On the surface, she is still the usual mysterious person, but, in her mind, it seems like she is thinking about kissing my cheek.

At first, I did think, "Miya wants to kiss me? No way," but is this for real?

|This is......Something might be about to awaken inside of her|

|Mum? Eh? How|

I thought that Cuare was the only one who could talk telepathically.

To think mum could do it as well.

|With the help of Cuare-chan's power, I am now able to do it|

Cuare-chan, she says......

|Dearest mother, these pickled vegetables are deliciousss|

This damn deity is being tamed through food.

|......So, what do you mean by that? Mum. The thing about something about to awaken inside of her. Do you know something?|

|Indeed. It might be possible that Miya-chan has......split personalities!|

Split, personalities, you say? Is that the one about having two personalities in one body?

"Miya-senpai's really a hard worker. She's usually a mystery, but she has hardworking girl vibes right now and is really cool!"

"Well, yeah. But, she is quite the mystery even while she is working, you know? Right, Rei?"

"Y-Yeah"

Which Miya is she right now? The Miya I know? Or is it the other Miya, whose personality I do not know? No, in the first place, I still cannot believe that she has split personalities.

|Why does Mum know something like that?|

|Sorry, Rei. I did not want to hide things from my son, but I made a promise with the Degure family|

So it is not only my mum, but Miya's parents know about this as well.

|Then, Miya herself?|

|Probably does not know, I think|

|What is that about in the first place? Please explain it to me in detail|

|......It happened eight years ago|

Eight years ago? So it was that long ago.

|Both of you would frequently sleep over at each other's houses, right?|

|Of course|

I remember it even now. ......Come to think of it, Miya was not a mysterious person in the past. At first, she was quite a quiet person who would refrain from approaching people other than her parents and me. However, once she became an elementary school student, she suddenly became a mysterious person who would talk a lot.

|What I saw happened when both of you were taking an afternoon nap. I heard some sound all of a sudden, so I peeked into your room, as I thought you had woken up. And then|

And then?

|Miya-chan was looking at Rei with the eyes of a starving beast, so much so that it was unthinkable for her usual self, and she was straddling you! At first, I thought she was playing around, but at that moment! Miya-chan stole a kiss from Rei all of a sudden!!|

......No, no, there is no way an elementary school student would do something like that.

"Sowwie for the wait. First up, the Sandwich Special that Hakumine-senpai ordered"

Miya brings out the orders like usual. Even as she is going about her work as usual, she continues to have the urge to kiss me.

"Huh? There is only one that is different from the usual"

"Oh? You can tell? It is a Golden Week special, so we are swapping the Sandwich Special! By the way, stuffed in between is"

The same old Miya. Her figure as she explains the Sandwich Special to Hakumine-senpai, her speech, her behavior......I only see the Miya I know.

"’That is shocking. It is too early for her!’, or so I thought, and I tried to stop her, but whether it was because she was satisfied with the kiss, she went to sleep within a second, like a doll that had its strings cut"

I stared at Miya as I heard my mum's explanation. She noticed my gaze and grinned. Feeling that I must not be found out by her, I smiled back at her.

"After that, I tried asking her discretely, but she said she was sleeping. So I thought, at that time, that I 

"But the same thing happened even after that, huh"

But how did I not realize? I should have been able to realize if she stole a kiss from me. Or rather...

|It happened even after that, you say, but I presume that I would have stopped staying over when it was around the third year of elementary school though|

During that time, I had matured mentally, and we stopped having sleepovers. It was not like our friendship soured. People mature. My maturation might have been faster than others. It was the same for Miya. It was the same for her personality, but the maturing of her body was also faster than the others. By the third year of elementary school, her chest had already grown to a certain degree, and her chest was the largest in the class by the time I moved away.

|That is......|

That is?

|No, let us leave the rest for later. You might be curious, though|

|I understand......|

I see I need to steel myself a little. Even though Miya having split personalities already perplexes me, there is also the fact that she had actually been sneaking into my room at night. What's more, to think that it started from eight years ago......

"Here ya go! This is your order!! Dear customerrr!"

"Yaaay! I was waiting for ittt!"

"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and eat"

Miya. Is your current self......the Miya I know? Or...
