Chapter 22
The morning after the broadcast.
"Ah, if it isn't the international lovey-dovey high school couple."
"I'll kill you."
I glared at Misato, who had started to tease me right away.
Misato just laughed heartily.
"It's not bad, is it? You weren't introduced in a bad way. And it seems like you're getting good reviews online, too. Look."
Misato said this while showing me the screen of her phone.
There, Lily and I were being interviewed.
Lily's "I'm in bride training" was perfectly captured.
"Amelia is buzzing as a beautiful British high school girl."
"Of course."
Lily, for some reason, puffed out her chest proudly.
Is she okay with her face being spread on the net...?
She's a noble's daughter, so maybe she's used to it?
"Sota is also being captured as a handsome boyfriend... though some are a bit jealous."
Too enviable.
Can you really get a beautiful girlfriend if you study abroad in England?
I'm going to England for a bit.
I hope they explode forever.
Such comments were posted.
Please stop.
...Please.
"The viewership ratings were good too. It might even make it into the best collection."
"Please stop. I beg you."
If I complain now, can something be done about it?
...There's nothing I can do about what's already on the net.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Everyone will forget unless it becomes an internet meme."
"That's what I'm worried about..."
Lily's visual and her "bride training" have too much impact.
...But if it's just that, my face won't be spread, so it's fine.
I hope my impression fades with Lily's impact.
"Ah, that reminds me. Changing the subject, but..."
"What is it?"
"Can I stay over tonight?"
"If you want to come, come. No permission needed."
"...Eh?"
Lily suddenly looked up, her eyes wide with surprise.
Is it that surprising?
"Misato is staying over? ...Why? You said no permission was needed."
"Well..."
"Because we're good friends."
Misato answered before I could.
Then she wrapped her arm around mine and grinned.
"Get it? My lo-ver?"
"What!!"
Lily's face twisted into a fierce expression as she glared at Misato.
Then she raised her voice in English.
"Don't joke around!!"
Don't get so angry just because you're treated like a lover...
After school.
"I'm home!"
"Oh, welcome back!"
I returned home with Misato.
My mother seemed happy to see Misato after a long time.
"What do you mean, 'I'm home'? Don't be so familiar...!"
Meanwhile, Lily seemed to be in a bad mood.
Does she dislike Misato coming to our house that much...?
Probably.
Lily is shy around people.
I can somewhat understand the feeling.
I didn't feel good when Misato brought friends home.
And when it turned into a sleepover, I remember feeling suffocated.
It's an old story, but...
Lily probably feels the same.
"Here, ...this is that thing. I burned the recording for you."
"That's a big help. Sota deleted it before I could watch it. Isn't that terrible?"
...I see, that's why she came.
Alright, I'll destroy it later.
woah! an update! Thank you!!!
