「Y, you really think so……?」

Her eyes sparkling, Izumi’s gaze was trained on me . However, now that I had finished saying everything on my mind, I had reverted back into the usual me with ineffective ad-lib conversation skills .

「Un, well, probably . 」

Izumi burst into laughter .

「Ahaha, what’s with that? You’re so unreliable!」

「……Sorry about that . 」

Since I had managed to keep a natural conversation going from arriving at her house up until now, I had briefly wondered whether my conversation technique had improved without me realizing it . I now understood that it really wasn’t anything to get my hopes up over . The fact of the matter is; the reason I was able to express myself properly was because I was only conveying what I had in mind, something I had always been able to do, and because we were talking about AtaFami .

「……But……okay, I’ll try it . 」

「Eh?」

「AtaFami practice and……um, what people around me think? I’m also going to try and change, in a way that those types of things won’t bother me anymore . ……As you’ve said, I won’t know until I try . 」

「……I see . 」

「Un……ah, that’s right . 」Izumi took out her phone . 「Can you give me your contact details? If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’d like to ask . 」

「Eh!? No um, me giving advice on how to cope with what other people think is a bit……」

「Not that, I mean advice about AtaFami . 」

「Ah, of course that’s what you meant……」

We exchanged contacts as I got a look from Izumi going ‘What is this person saying’ .

「Okkayー!」

「Ah, yeah, anyway……I should probably get going now . 」

After all, I had already told her everything I needed to tell her regarding AtaFami .

「Un, ah, the game!」

「Ah, it’s fine, that’s just my sub-ROM . The memory card is also a backup . 」[1]

「Saburomu? Bakkua?」

「……Ah, it’s nothing . It just means that I’ve got another copy . 」

「……Ah, it’s nothing . It just means that I’ve got another copy . 」

「Ohh, really? But……then, if you’d lent me this one, couldn’t you have taught me using the online function……?」

「Ah! You’re right! ……Sorry . 」

「Ahaha . Well, thanks to that we got to discuss a lot of things, so I guess it’s okay!」

「Haha . 」It was a relief to hear her say that . 「See you . 」

「Ah, un, take care! Ah, one more thing……uhh, ummー」

「Hm?」

「……Never mind! See you!」

What was that all about? Pondering over this sudden outburst, I left Izumi’s house .

Then, barely five minutes later, I received a short message from Izumi .

Then, barely five minutes later, I received a short message from Izumi .

『Thanks』

No emojis, no nothing . Just six simple characters . Perhaps this is what she had tried to convey earlier, but ultimately had not been able to .  ‘I wasn’t able to say it out loud, so I’ll tell him by mail’, perhaps . How should I put it- even though she’s a riajuu, it seems like there’s also a part of her that’s easy to get along with .

With the content being what it was, once I had finished reading it, I immediately decided to respond with a message .

──A message to Hinami asking ‘How should I reply at times like this?’ , though .

Translator Notes:

[1] That’s just a j.a.panese word for a second ROM cartridge/Game cartridge that is used a lot less than the main one . For example, in Pokémon one might possess a second cartridge (and possibly a second gaming machine) to trade Pokémon/rare items to the main ROM .
