Chapter 68 You’re mad after all .

I wonder how long I was sleeping .

Opening my eyes, I felt something soft under my head . At the same time, My eyes met with Kamaishi's who was looking down at me .

"W-Welcome back, Kamiya-kun . "

"Ah, thanks, Kamaishi-san . "

When our eyes met, Kamaishi greeted me somehow, awkwardly .

For some reason, her face turned bright red and she averted her eyes from me . I wonder why .

I greeted her back and turned over to realize that the soft thing under my head was her lap .

I didn't notice it since I just woke up, but apparently, Kamaishi was giving me a lap pillow .

Who knew that the day when Kamaishi would give me a lap pillow would come .

Without any particular purpose, I ran my hand through her lap .

I wonder why I feel like I already went through a similar situation .

"Um, Kamiya-kun . You are tickling me..."

Smiling at me with a troubled expression, Kamaishi asked me to stop .

I forgot that I kept rubbing her lap as I got lost in thoughts .

"Sorry, I will stand up . "

"Ah, no, it's fine . You're tired, aren't you? You can stay like this if you want . "

When I was about to stand up, Kamaishi stopped me as she lightly pressed my head .

Accepting her kind offer, I decided to stay laying down on her lap for a bit longer .

"Where's Lina by the way?"

"Lina-chan went to hand over that fallen god . "

Answering my casual question, Kamaishi made a worried face .

"Kamiya-kun . About what I was talking about before you fainted, I heard everything . Although, I don't remember you doing anything of what I heard . "

I kept quiet for a moment after listening to what she said .

So she heard everything from Lina .

Well, I don't think anything bad would happen if she knew about it, so it's fine . I always thought that it won't be a big deal if Kamaishi discovered the truth anyway . The reason that she doesn't remember the fight is because I erased her memories of it .

"I see..."

"Yes, and when I knew that you did all of those dangerous things, I became really worried... so—"

Leaving a short moment of silence, she continued .

"Don't try doing the impossible . I won't ask you to not do it ever again, but at least, please, don't die . You can ask me for advice anytime you want . Just don't die, please . "

I couldn't see her face from this angle, however, I could tell that it was brimming with sorrow just from hearing her frail voice .

The hand she was placing in my head was faintly shaking and her voice was trembling .

Looks like I caused her to worry more than what I thought .

Hearing her words until the end, I raised my hands as if I gave up and said .

"I understand . I promise you, I won't try doing the impossible and I shall ask you for advice whenever I get the chance . So please, stop saying something like that with that sorrowful face . "

Like this, Kamaishi answered with a cheerful "yes . "

Good grief, It looks like I'm no match for her .

I wonder why I can't argue with her any further .

She could be one of the strongest enemies I met in a certain meaning .

I prefer fighting 10 people like Germa at the same time instead of making her sad .

Thinking about random stuff while using her lap as a pillow, this time, Kamaishi changed her voice tone and addressed .

"By the way, you kept quiet about your abilities only from me, didn't you? Even though Lina-chan and Karen-chan knew about . "

Unlike the sorrowful ambiance she was giving off just now, this time around it was pressing mood .

Hm, what's this feeling?

"Well, Lina was originally from that side, and Karen discovered it only by coincidence . "

"But you still kept it a secret from me, didn't you?"

Ignoring my excuse, Kamaishi asked me the same question . Almost as if she was implying that I didn't have the right to explain myself .

As I thought, she's pressing me for an answer .

Hmm? Could it be that she's...

"Are you mad?"

"Not really . "

When I turned my face to look at her, she answered me and turned to look in a different direction .

You're mad after all .

I found her angry attitude kinda cute, but since it wasn't the perfect timing to comment about it, I

kept quiet .

For now, let's keep making excuses .

"It's not like I kept a secret only from you . I wasn't intending to tell Karen either . Even at the time when Kren knew about it, I started thinking that it would be fine to tell you as well . It's just that I Couldn't find a good timing and necessity to do it . It's not like I didn't want to tell you . "

"Then why did you tell me now? You could've just erased my memory with all those people . "

Her face still looking at the other side, she added another question .

"I told you, the timing was good, so I thought it would be fine to let you know . And if I was to erase your memory of what happened, you will suddenly find yourself standing on the roof of a random building, which would unexplainable and confusing . "

Fixing my eyes on her face, I continued .

"So can you cheer up...?"

I checked Kamaishi's expression .

Honestly, I'm out of excuses .

Fortunately, my last excuse was acceptable and Kamaishi turned back to look at me and make a condition . "

"I-if you do what I tell you, I can forgive you . "

"What could it be?"

She averted her eyes and her cheeks changed to faint red color as she seemed to have a difficult time saying something .

Just what is she going to ask?

Feeling a bit worried about what she would say, I waited until she spoke again .

"From now on, I want you to call me Saya . I will call you Yato as well . "

Hearing her request, I couldn't hide my surprised expression .

I thought she was going to ask something on another level .

"Now that you said that, I never called you by your first name . "

"Yes, that's why I'd like you to do that from now on . Is it no good?"

Kamaishi waited for my answer with nervous eyes .

I didn't have any reason to refuse .

If Kamaishi wants me to call her that way, then why not?

"I get it . I shall call you Saya from now on . "

"Yes! I will call you Yato-kun from now on too . "

Thus, with smiles on our faces, we promised to call each other by our first names .

It felt kinda embarrassing at first to do that, though it wasn't a bad experience .

Probably thinking about the same thing as me, Saya's face became faintly red .

We only have to get used to it .

After that, we had a fun time calling each other with our first name until Lina came back .

Somehow I feel like the distance between us had considerably shortened at that time .

Bonus

I won't help you .

"Yato-kun, why do you have all those abilities?"

"In the past, My Entire Class Was Summoned to Another World except for Me, and I ended up obtaining these abilities . "

"And what happened to your classmates?"

"Who knows . They're probably still in that world . "

"You're not going to save them?"

"I don't know the name of the world and I don't want to go there anyway . So it can't be helped . "

"So if you get the name of that world, will you go?"

"Absolutely not!"

"As I thought . "
