Chapter 11: Volume 1 - CH 2.5

“Say, Io-kun.”

In my memory, that lass said merrily.

Just like the sky and the clouds seen from the rooftop, she was like the breeze.

“If, hypothetically, okay? If you had some special power, what would you do?” she asked.

“What’s with that, out of the blue…”

Just like usual, we talked about a lot of things and nothing in particular, just idle chit-chats.

But to me, the time spent on this rooftop was more important than everything else.

“The drama I saw the other day was about that. I just wondered what Io-kun would do,” she elaborated.

“Isn’t that fiction? It’s impossible anyway.”

The topic for today, however, was a bit unsettling.

Because I was the only one who knew that it wasn’t impossible.

“Didn’t I just say so–? I did say ‘if’. Then, what would you do?”

“You mean magic?”

“Um, yep! And supernatural powers! Esper! Psychic!”

“Childish.”

“Hey! I’m older here?!”

“The point is, you’re older but more childish.”

“Hmm? Even though I can make you this excited?”

“Na! Oi!”

I was suddenly pulled by the arms, my heart skipped a beat at the soft sensation and the sweet smell.

Even though I struggled desperately, she seemed to be enjoying herself.

“Don’t cling to me! You idiot! Hey!”

“Ahaha. You’re so cute, Io-kun. Good boy, good boy.”

“…Damn it.”

Even though she was my Senpai, she was an idiot.

But her appearance was mature, her voice high-pitched yet profound, I hopelessly fell for her.

“Back to topic, what would you do? Esper Io.”

“Sounds awfully like Esper Ito.”

[TN: Esper Ito, Japanese comedian.]

[TN: Ahahaaa, I’m wheezing. What’s with Io and his obscure references.]

“Old! Gosh, how old! Io-kun, are you really younger than me?”

“Although you did get it. Besides, it’s just one character difference,” I pouted.

“Ahh, forget it, forget it. What would you do?”

“So… Supernatural power, for example?”

“Hmm. Well, reading people’s minds , for example!”

“Eh…”

My heart skipped another beat.

But that lass–Ayaha didn’t notice my trepidation as she fixed her gaze on me, on her face her usual grin.
