My Unique Skill [Gacha] Will Save the World - Episode 112: Reunion

Episode 112: Reunion

“Kyousuke! Ayane!” 

As soon as the transfer was completed, Rindou shouted the names of Kyousuke and Ayane. 

“Rindou-kun!” 

“I’m glad you’re safe!” 

Kyousuke and Ayane also called out. And the three of them shared the joy of their reunion. 

“We fell in a nearby location, so we were able to reunite quickly. But we couldn’t find you, Rindou-san…” 

“How did you survive alone…?” 

Ayane had been expressing her concern for Rindou. But Kyousuke was confused when he noticed someone who shouldn’t have been there. 

“…W-who are you?” 

“Eh!? You’re right, who are you?!” 

Hearing Kyousuke’s question, Ayane also noticed the presence of Kageboshi. 

“Ah… well, the Branch Manager will explain. So I guess it’s fine if I tell them……. right?” 

At this point, only Rindou knows about Kageboshi. It’s natural for Kyousuke and Ayane to be surprised. 

In response to Rindou’s question, Kageboshi silently nodded. 

“It seems that this person, Kageboshi, is someone the Branch Manager assigned to monitor us.” 

“Monitor us?!” 

“Kageboshi?!” 

“…Hmm? It feels like the two of you are surprised about different things…” 

Ayane was shocked by the “monitoring role”, and Kyousuke by the name “Kageboshi”. 

Rindou was curious about why that was, especially Kyousuke’s reaction. So he asked. 

“Kyousuke, do you know Kageboshi?” 

“No, I’ve only heard rumors… There’s a player directly under Branch Manager Dōmura, and I think their name is Kageboshi.” 

“Eh!? …But why would the Branch Manager be monitoring us? Could it be that we’re suspected of something?” 

After Kyousuke answered the question, Ayane expressed doubt. She was wondering why Kenji would use Kageboshi to monitor them. 

“Can you explain what’s going on?” 

Kyousuke asked sharply, his gaze fixed on Kageboshi. 

“Of course. The Branch Manager will explain it personally to you.” 

Kageboshi looked like she might collapse any moment. She still managed to say this with a determined attitude. It was likely because Kyousuke and Ayane were present. 

“Kyousuke, Ayane, calm down! Kageboshi helped me! At first, yeah, I was suspicious too… but now she’s definitely one of us!” 

Rindou’s words surprised not only Kyousuke and Ayane but also Kageboshi. 

“…Rindou-kun, you’ve changed.” 

“…W-what’s changed? Is this really the time for this conversation?” 

“Because when you didn’t trust me, it took a pretty long time, didn’t it?!” 

“I’m surprised too. Rindou Amachi, I thought you were a more suspicious person.” 

The unexpected comments from the three caused the tense atmosphere to vanish. And the only thing left was Rindou’s confused expression. 

“…Y-you guys!! How do you rate me as a person!? Do I have to explain everything from one to ten?!” 

Seeing Rindou shout, Kyousuke and Ayane bursted out laughing. And although Kageboshi didn’t voice her laughter, her expression revealed a smile. 

Not only to report about the door operation, but also to request an explanation from Kenji, Rindou and the others headed towards the Association building. 

It was only natural for Rindou and the others to feel angry. But the angriest of all four was none other than Kageboshi. 

After nearly dying because of Kenji’s unreasonable orders, it’s understandable that she would be angry. 

However, despite that, she was still following Kenji’s orders—was it just because the reward was good? 

The truth is, only Kageboshi herself knows how she truly feels. 

“I’m meeting the Branch Manager.” 

“Eh? Well, in that case, should we go through the procedure for the meeting?” 

“Don’t worry, I’ll go straight there.” 

“Eh!? Wait, what!?” 

Normally, Kageboshi would use [Shadow Magic] to secretly go to the branch manager’s office. But this time, she headed straight there confidently. 

Aoba was standing at the reception. She tried to stop her, confused. But Ayane called out to her. 

“Um, Yanase-san? I think it’s probably fine.” 

“Eh!? What do you mean, Kazaki-sama?!” 

Without slowing down her pace, Kageboshi stepped into the elevator that led directly to the tenth floor. It was where the branch manager’s office was located. 

“I’ll explain it later! Or you can ask the Branch Manager directly!” 

“Directly to the Branch Manager!? That’s impossible, isn’t it!? Wait, Kazaki-sama—!!” 

Rindou felt a little bad for Aoba but couldn’t just leave. So he only smiled wryly and boarded the elevator with everyone. The door closed, and the elevator started moving upwards. 

“…Was that okay, Kageboshi?” 

Worried, Rindou called out to Kageboshi. She answered with a huff. 

“Hmph! I won’t just keep doing what the Branch Manager says! This time, the reward he promised isn’t enough for me!”

In other words, it sounded like she was saying that she would be satisfied if the reward was increased. But if he said it out loud, Kageboshi’s anger might turn toward him. 

(………I should keep quiet.) 

As he held back the words he was about to say, the elevator continued its silent journey. 

Then, as soon as the elevator reached the tenth floor and the door opened—Kageboshi rushed out and kicked the branch manager’s office door open with a powerful flying kick.
