Chapter 23
Chapter 23 - It's getting kind of funny actually
Inside the lobby of a high-society hotel in the city of Hayabusa, three classmates were having an unexpected meeting .
Apparently the name of the high schooler was Yuuki Tachibana . Naturally, Yogiri didn't remember him and looked at Tachibana as if it was their first time seeing each other .
Three girls were accompanying Tachibana; even though it was only the second day since they arrived in this world it appeared he had already gathered companions from among the natives .
"Erm, I'm not really sure what's going on . You aren't confessing to me right now, are you?"
'Lover' really wasn't something one would expect to hear from a high schooler . Even Yogiri, who didn't have any friends to joke around with, knew that much .
Unconcerned, Tachibana continued .
"Can you decide within two minutes? If you don't make up your mind quickly enough you'll lose all the benefits gained from being my lover . "
Persuading someone by limiting their time to think, a classic .
But still, unless there was sufficient value in becoming his lover no one would just agree to it, although Tachibana seemed convinced that such value was there .
"No need for any benefits right now, I'd rather hear about what you're doing here actually . "
Tomochika turned him down without a second thought, which only made the girls' glares worse .
There was certainly an intent to kill, but nothing concrete as of yet; Yogiri decided to continue watching for the time being .
"Are you sure about that? If you end up changing your mind later you'll become a mid-rank slave at best, you know? You're letting the opportunity of a lifetime slip away right now . "
"Should I be worried about how little I can follow what you're saying?!"
Tachibana seemed genuinely surprised by how the discussion was going . He must have seriously thought she would agree to his proposal .
Yogiri on the other hand was thinking about whether Tachibana might have been summoned to this world for the second time already, like Hanakawa and the other two . It was the only explanation he could come up with for Tachibana's absurd mindset .
"Yuuki-sama! I believe getting involved with such people is a waste of time! We have an expedition to carry out!"
"To think someone would just decline Master's proposal! Even the status of mid-rank slave is too generous, I reckon!"
" . . . Yuuki . . . . . . can I kill them?"
The girls behind Tachibana voiced their displeasure one after the other, but Tachibana only needed to raise his hand for the three of them to quiet down .
"We can put off the expedition for now . But Tomochika, you really are being hasty here . Ah, are you worried about Takatou? I accept males as labor slaves only, but I can make him a special low-rank slave if you'd like . He's still a classmate, after all . "
" . . . At first it was just annoying, but now it's getting kind of funny actually . "
For a moment it seemed like Tomochika was about to lose her cool, but that was all she mumbled .
"Yeah . . . a situation this confusing makes it kind of difficult to get upset . "
Yogiri quietly agreed with Tomochika . The discussion with Tachibana had somehow gone from irritating to interesting .
"Sorry, but with this whole lack of an explanation of what you're on about we're not particularly eager to group up with you . Can you instead just tell us what you're in Hayabusa for?"
"I guess that's fair enough . Alright, I'll explain . But I'll tell you right now, you'll regret not becoming my followers right away . "
Yogiri tried moving the discussion forward and Tachibana actually went along with it . Looked like he was finally done with his obscure talk .
