Chapter 18: The First Meeting

At Laplace's registration grounds, Rain meets the person he's been dreaming about since he returned to the modern era.

To be precise, it's exactly the same girl as the person he misses.

"Night Sky ......"

Rain unconsciously said the name and then caught the attention of the girl who was very similar to 'Night Sky', and she looked left and right before she realized that Rain was calling herself.

"Do I know you?"

The girl tilted her head and looked at the rain with questioning eyes, and it was only after hearing her words that the rain came back to her senses and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"yes...... Of course she wouldn't know me. ”

Rain laughed at herself in a low voice, and at the same time raised her head again and stretched out her hand to the girl.

"I'm sorry, but I was actually trying to warn you that you lost your money. ”

I don't know when there was a hundred dollars of mead coins in Rain's hand, and when she saw the money in Rain's hand, the girl was stunned at first, and then took the money away quickly.

"Oh, thanks. ”

The girl thanked her with a smile on her face, and when she saw her like this, Ziyu couldn't help but laugh wildly in her heart.

[It's exactly the same...... and that guy's money-hungry character. 】

Obviously, the girl definitely didn't accidentally drop her money, and the rain just made up a random reason to try the previous trick on the night sky.

But I didn't expect that the girl in front of me even had such a similar personality, and even Alicia laughed when she saw it later.

It's just that Rain's strange behavior also aroused the confusion of Suzuka and Alyssa, but when they wanted to ask, someone came to interrupt them.

"Naha~"

Hearing the familiar Kansai rain, they didn't even need to look at it to know who it was, and the wind in plain clothes and their knights were walking in the distance.

They were accompanied by Karim and Sasha of the Holy King's Church, who were supposed to have come as leaders after the inspection and joining procedures for the Holy King's Church had been completed.

"Tempest~"

Naye and the others stepped forward to answer, leaving only Yu and Alicia to stay where they were, in fact, Yu still wanted to run away.

Because the moment he saw Karim, he remembered Toya's boring but troublesome spell.

Karim's face darkened when she saw the rain, and she seemed to remember the curse at the same time.

[Don't speak, just whisper the first sentence in my ear in a while.] 】

[Got it.] 】

Rain chatted with Karim about coping with Nianhua, and it was very simple to crack Toya's curse, because the curse's insider was just Karim and Rain's first words every time they met must be "Nagase Rain, I love you", and there was no limit to the volume of speech, so just go to Rain's ear and whisper.

It's just that the rain also ignores the way the two of them bite their ears, which will attract the jealousy of some people.

While they were focusing on Naha and them, the two of them quickly uttered the forbidden word.

"Rain Nagase, I love you. ”

"Got it. ”

"Why I slapped you in the face when I saw your impatience. ”

Karim felt a sense of anger when she saw Rain's annoyed face, but she didn't have time to bother with the trivial matter.

"Oh, Karim, do you know each other?"

The girl, who was very similar to Yetian, accosted Karim, and Karim explained her to Rain as well.

"Well, this is Rain Nagase. She is Aisha Belt, the professor you told you about studying relics from the Belka era. ”

"Oh, so you're the client. ”

"Yes, in the end, I have to rely on you. ”

"Scare?"

Aisha was stunned by what Rain said, and Karim next to her didn't understand what Rain was saying, but Alicia behind them knew quite well.

Whether it was in the time of Gubelka or now, it is ironic that she is the last to help the rain.

"Looks like it's fate. ”

Alicia's words were not deliberately lowered in volume, so Rain could hear it clearly, and Rain had an indescribable bitterness about what she said.

[When will our roles be reversed, I will become your guardian, and I will help you.] 】

Rain looked at Aisha with complicated eyes, and Aisha felt uncomfortable when he looked at her with such strange eyes.

"Hey, Captain Future, come and deal with this little imp. ”

At this moment, the canary sends a distress signal to the rain, and they look back at the canary to see that Eiffel has fallen to the ground and worships the canary himself.

"Stupid Eiffel, my face has been lost by you!"

When Aisha saw her students so embarrassed, she didn't dare to make eye contact with the rain.

"This situation feels familiar. ”

Rain thinks of the scene of meeting Eiffel in a coffee shop a year ago, and while he reminisces, Aisha can't stand it anymore and steps forward to pull her student down and lecture her.

"Idiot Eiffel, can't you be normal. ”

"But teacher, of course I'm a little excited when I see an idol. ”

"Where's the dot!?"

Seeing the conversation between Aisha and Eiffel, he didn't know why the rain was watery, but he still remembered the moment when he saw Suzaku piercing the knife through Eiffel when he was close at hand, and he also knew the last conversation between Yetian and Eiffel.

"Great...... Always able to be her student again, and to meet us again. ”

Yu suddenly felt that this trip was in vain, but when he felt too good, he forgot that there was a group of girls behind him who couldn't interject.

[Who are those two girls?, why does Yu seem so happy to see them?]

Fit, Alyssa, and Suzuka, the girls who are a little interested in the rain, all unconsciously come up with such thoughts, and if they didn't know the origin of the other party, they would have stepped forward to catch the rain and torture them.

"Hey, it's time for you to get down to business, future captain. ”

As soon as the canary escapes, she helps Rain come back to her senses, and Karim reminds Eiffel and Aisha of her behavior after hearing her words.

"Then Lord Wang, let's make an appointment later, and the content of the transaction will be discussed in detail. ”

"Understand, don't call me king or anything, just be ordinary. ”

"Hehe, are you still ordinary?"

Karim's words do make sense, rain is not ordinary in any way. Not to mention the identity background, just from having traveled through time and space is unique enough.

"Then I took my leave. ”

Karim and Sasha led Aisha and Eiffel away after a farewell salute, and as they left, Yu still vaguely heard Eiffel saying something like "Is that the Holy King, Lord Canary seems to call him the future captain......".

"I feel entangled again. ”

"It's fate. ”

Rain's sighs and Alicia's words of schadenfreude seemed very joyful at this time.

"Nagase rain. ”

"Xiaoyu, I think you should give us a detailed introduction to the two of you. ”

Alyssa and Suzuka came to the rain as soon as Karim and the others left, but the rain, which had always been weak, was rarely strong.

"Nothing, we're new to each other...... That's right, it's the first meeting. ”

Rain smiled and walked around them to Tempest and her knights, or more precisely, to Lynves.

"Silver, are you any abnormalities under the inspection of the Holy King's Church?"

"Nope. ”

Linfus shook her head and her expression was very calm, but when she saw her like this, the rain became lost.

"Really......"

"Hey, you kid is underwhelming, don't you, do you think we have something to do!"

Weta, who had always been dissatisfied with the rain, immediately came to provoke him when he saw him like this.

"Tempest, do you have anything to do after that?"

"Linfus and I don't, but Signa and Vita-chan are going to work for the Authority, and Shamaru and Zafila are going home to take care of Miyu. ”

"Ignore me!?"

Vita was ignored by the rain and immediately tried to take out the hammer of judgment, but fortunately the Signorians were there to stop her.

"Can I borrow the money for a while? ”

"Well, I don't mind if Lynfus is fine. ”

"No problem. ”

Linvs easily agreed.

"Let's go, let's sign up. ”

"Oh!"

Naye exhaled energetically, and it seemed that she was really looking forward to the opening of this tournament.

It's just that there have been a lot of changes before the game, but Suzuka and Alyssa, who are not in a good situation right now, don't care much about the event.

The two of them focused on the girl they didn't know brought by Karim, and at the same time, some of Alicia's plans changed, and she pulled up Fett and whispered something she didn't know what she was talking about.

But one thing is certain, they will all be new within the year, whether it is physical growth, or mental maturity, or emotional entanglement.
