NOVEL NEXT Chapter 72 – First Meeting with Roboco Part 1
After the past week of going back and forth to the hospital and staying home without going out much. It's not strange for me to feel bored, is it? Especially when I feel better so quickly.
Well, ever since, I managed to absorb the ghosts from the bathroom and feel the energy from my body. One thing is the most obvious thing that happened, even though I can sense the energy around my body and can't control it. Even though I tried everything, I knew to move that energy. The most logical thing I tried to do was meditate. Surprisingly, I felt the energy more clearly than usual when doing meditation.
Then after doing so, I don't know why, but my body seemed to absorb the energy, and within a short time, the pain in my hand started to fade and even became painless when I moved it. Although I'm hesitant to say that my hand is completely healed, I'm pretty sure I can already do my daily activities without a cast.
It's just that it would feel weird to tell people, so I ended up sticking with the cast for now.
At least after what happened between me and Spirit in the bathroom, my feelings towards spirits have changed a little because, at least this time, it feels like my vision of the spirits in this world has improved.
Honestly, I don't know if this is due to spirit absorption or because I have this energy. However, the most remarkable thing was how I could instinctively guess which spirits were dangerous and which were not, like animals.
It was very helpful, especially after what happened, as well as this time, I was able to see a spirit that wasn't even human-shaped differently from before.
Therefore, I thought it would be a good idea to try going out because I had never dared to go out ever since I could see spirits. If it continues like this, I might become a NEET! That's why I dared to go out. Well, since I don’t know what will happen, I am thinking about going out with Ruby since Ai was busy preparing for her next live performance.
But in the end, I went alone. I mean, sometimes I want to spend my time alone. Ah, I was also thinking of going to Ichigo's office. It's just that it's not boring to go to a place that's not much different. It's good to go to a place you don't usually visit and learn the difference in spirits in different places.
That's what I thought in the morning, and honestly, it wasn't easy to go out without Ai and Ruby knowing. I don't know why they both have such great instincts when it comes to me sometimes.
Because of that, I was a little relieved and happy to get some alone time without anyone watching me. It's just that I underestimated a cliche in this anime-like world.
I don't know if this can be called luck or not. It's just that this happens very often in manga, anime and even western movies.
Even though I live in a big city, Tokyo, I can just go around without a plan. Even everyone's plans will be different, but with the power of the plot, many MCs accidentally meet the heroine or the like.
A plot armor possessed by the MC.
What happened to me this time…
“Hm, why have you stopped eating?” A young woman with brown hair and clear blue eyes looked at me. She showed a worried expression before gasping, thinking she had found the problem.
“Does your hand hurt or something?” The young woman was none other than one of Starlight members, Tokino Sora, and she was not alone and went with the new road manager, Starlight, a young woman around her age, with short purple hair tied up with a blue ribbon and green eyes with glasses called by everyone; A-chan.
“No, my hand is fine. It's actually already better, but I’m still using the cast to get better faster.” I replied to Sora’s question. “I was just daydreaming for a second.”
“Is that so?”
"Yeah, I was thinking of spending some alone time, just to meet up with acquaintances in a place like this."
“Isn't it dangerous for a kid like you to play around alone in a city like this? Especially since it's getting late in the afternoon. Your parents will be worried.” A-chan scolded me, who started to continue eating the parfait. That parfait was the reason I met the two of them.
It seems like Sora was interviewing around this area, and after the interview was over. They thought of having a bite to eat and went to this cafe because it's quite famous in this area, which is why I'm here.
Honestly, since this body was a young one and I lived with a different food than in my previous life, it made my palette of food a bit different from my previous life. Sometimes this body likes to enjoy sweet food like this parfait.
Also, as someone who was a college student in my previous life, it’s kind of annoying to hear that stuff.
It could be said that the lack of freedom to do things due to my young age is one of the big drawbacks of reincarnation, especially when you think that I could have probably tried drinking alcohol and couldn't for years.
It is quite a hindrance.
"Well, I just came to the café. It's not that big of a deal. After all, this could inspire upcoming songs and film scripts." I answered A-chan while savoring the sweet flavor of the parfait.
"That's true, but bringing an adult with you would be good."
"Sometimes a kid like me needs some alone time. Besides, I can call my bodyguard or just order a taxi home."
"Gugugu! Talking to a kid with a lot of money is different," A-chan spoke with a slightly annoyed tone and was also dumbfounded by my various replies.
“Ma…Ma. We are already grateful enough to find him fine like this. I understand your sentiments as a celebrity, but would it be a good idea to tell someone if you want to go out like this?" Sora gave another scolding me in such a gentle way.
"If I do that, Ai and Miyako will have bodyguards escort me or at least have one of the managers follow me. Or, in other words, throw out my intention to go alone. Besides, I already told them by writing a note that would be easy for people to find and read."
“Hahaha! It's not a good thing to do, though. People will definitely be worried, like Miyako, Ai and Ruby."
"Well, I'll be careful." In the end, I figured that I shouldn't keep making excuses and nodded as if accepting the lecture from Sora, who still gave off a positive aura as usual.
Honestly, Sora's positive aura was so strong that when I was with her, I didn't see any of the spirits approach Sora. It's like she was a spirit-repellent spray. The thing that makes eating at this cafe very calm for me without seeing a single strange spirit.
"Ah, I'm surprised Ruby let you go like this," Sora said while observing that my left hand was still in a cast.
"Oh, that's easy enough. I just left when she took a nap due to fatigue after I told her various things, for example, to take this and that. Hence, we met in the afternoon like this."
When the two of them heard my answer, I could see that the two women in front of me were at a loss for words, and I could even see the expression of sympathy that they might have given toward Ruby.
"Anyway, Ruby has been texting me constantly since she woke up, and I told her that I was fine and was playing and looking for inspiration as an excuse. So you two don't need to worry."
“Is that so… Anyway, since I met you. I wonder if I should call Miyako-san.” Sora wondered.
“Well, that’s maybe a good call.” A-chan nodded in agreement with Sora.
“Heh… That's not fun for me. Even Ruby might have given Miyako the news. Hm, well, since I met you two. How about I follow you two that way I have an adult to keep me company? Is there anything you two are doing after this?"
Sora and A-chan stared at each other for a few seconds as if they were trying to communicate without saying anything I could understand.
“Of course we had,” Sora said.
"Well, because if we don't agree with him. He might just leave. I think it's a good idea to keep him with us."
“That’s true. Okay, then…” Ultimately, they both agreed to take me instead of leaving me alone to play in the center of Tokyo in the afternoon.
“Haha, sorry if I interrupted your date."
“Geez, what are you saying…”
And so I followed Sora and A-chan. Well, we just tried to enjoy our time without knowing what would happen next.
