Chapter 7 : Rinka Looks Excited

Translated by HamletJr

Rinka was really happy after I promised to go to the movies with her. Just to be sure, I asked her one last time.

“Are you sure it’s okay? Wouldn’t it be bad if someone were to see me walking around with you?”

“It’s not like Shibuya is nearby, so it’s okay. We shouldn’t come across anyone.”

“No, but what if… Actually, maybe I’m just overthinking this.”

I started thinking about what my sister usually tells me.

“If you take off your glasses, no one will ever find out that you’re Kitarou. I-if you can’t see well, we can link our arms…”

“Nah, my eyesight is actually just fine. I’m only wearing glasses because they make me look smarter.”

“Hahaha, the heck? B-but isn’t it fine to link arms? Y-you know, it’d be dangerous if you fell…”

“What, am I a little kid? Sorry, but I’m just fine walking by myself.”

I nodded to myself and considered Rinka’s suggestion to take off my glasses.

I mean she’s right about taking off these thick glasses. No one will be able to tell that I’m Kitarou.

Actually, now that I think about it, isn’t it bad that Rinka saw my real face?

If Shion’s real face was leaked to the public, then Rinka would definitely know that’s me.

Even though our band is always disguised, it’s only our eyes that are hidden.

Some of the people from my workplace may have pictures of my real face as well, so I can’t be careless.

Also, why does she want to link our arms so badly, is she really that attached to her friends?

Well, it doesn’t seem like I can avoid it.

“So, where should we meet up?”

“Come over to my house! I’ll send you the address on your phone. S-so, let’s exchange Rine addresses!”  (Rine being the type of email used)

“S-sure…”

No way… I’m getting a girl’s contact information, and it’s a girl from my school…

Is this okay? She won’t block me after the movie, right?

She isn’t going to ask me to buy her some virtual cash, right?

Fufufufufufufufu.

After exchanging Rine IDs with me, Rinka began staring at her smartphone with an eerie laugh.

She looks so happy…

I wonder if her only friends are her followers…

Maybe we can be loner buddies outside of school.

“H-hey Ritsuki… Incidentally, do you have the addresses of any other girls from our school?”

“Other than my family members, no. You should know my antisocial personality by now, right?”

“Fufu, is that right? So the only one who has found out about Ritsuki’s face is me, huh… That’s how it is, huh.~”

Rinka couldn’t hide her grinning face as she looked at me.

This… This person! I wonder if she’s discovered who I really am.

No way, Shion’s real appearance has yet to be known to the public. Plus, I also use a disguise to cover my eyes while performing.

I’m also thinking of other ways to disguise myself.

I can’t be found out.

By the way, my smartphone doesn’t have any girls’ addresses, but Shion’s smartphone is full of them.

Idols, female TV presenters, actresses, popular child actors, even overseas celebrities.

I receive messages almost every day, even without doing anything.

If I don’t give them my address, they’ll start following me backstage until I give it to them.

“Well then Ritsuki, we’ll meet up at my house at 9 AM on the day of the movie.~”

“Yes, yes.”

As I see Rinka off, she jumps excitedly and waves at me…

…It’s bouncing a lot, huh? I’m not saying what, though.
