Me too! - 33

I arrived home safely.

So many things happened today, and as soon as I saw the bed, I felt like jumping into it.

I roughly changed my clothes and lay down on the bed.

I was sleepy until just a while ago, but after waking up in Problem Solver 68's office, I can't fall asleep.

Thump-

I just turned on the light and sat there blankly.

I feel like I've been treated too harshly lately...

Being taken hostage, being forced to wear an idol outfit, and being teased by Mutsuki.

Listing them out like this, it seems the main story is harmful.

Even if I had to be possessed, why did it have to be this body...

When I looked in the mirror, a girl with light blue hair was looking back at me with a dissatisfied expression.

Yeah, well, objectively speaking, I'm definitely a kid.

It might seem narcissistic, but... I'm also... cute...

But understanding and accepting are completely different matters.

That damn head-patting makes me unable to do anything, like grabbing a cat by the scruff of its neck.

I definitely tried my best to avoid that kind of situation.

Do I smell like something that makes people want to pet me?

Even though the night is getting late, my thoughts continued.

After concluding about 13 times that the fact that I look like this is the root of all problems,

"Yaaawn..."

It was morning.

Jeez.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Nito isn't answering her phone.

I definitely saw her go home safely yesterday...

Did something happen to her again?

Nito is always involved in incidents, so I can't help but be sensitive when she doesn't answer her phone.

Especially since she acts like something will happen if she doesn't check her messages.

So today,

"Hello, everyone~."

"Yes, good morning, Sensei. So why are we gathered so early in the morning?"

I decided to visit Nito's house with the Countermeasure Committee.

"Come to think of it, Shiroko-chan has been to Nito-chan's house before, right?"

"Yeah, it was a pretty nice house."

"Haaam... I was surprised when she suddenly ran out back then~."

Since it's a time when Hoshino would normally be fast asleep, she seems even more languid than usual.

As we walked and talked with the Abydos students, we arrived at Nito's house.

Ding-dong-

"Nito, are you there?"

Ding-dong-

-Ugh...

We heard a sound from inside.

-Yaaawn... I'm coming...

Thump-

The door opened, and Nito greeted us in her pajamas, yawning.

"...Why is everyone here, achoo-!"

Because it was early in the morning and the temperature was low, Nito was shivering and sneezing.

"L-let's go inside first, achoo-! ...Sniff, and talk..."

"Yeah, okay."

"Wow~♧ Nito-chan's house! Excuse us!"

"It's spacious and nice~."

"...It's the same."

"Then excuse us."

"We'll come in."

The inside of the house was the same as when we came last time.

The only difference was that the clothes Nito wore yesterday were lying around-

Whoosh-

Nito quickly picked up the clothes and threw them into the washing machine.

"So why is everyone here...?"

Perhaps feeling awkward, Nito spoke.

"Ah, it's nothing. I was worried because Nito wasn't answering her phone."

"...You came all the way here just because I didn't check it for a bit...?"

Nito muttered quietly after hearing my words.

Hmm... What is she saying?

"Anyway, I'm glad you're okay."

"Yeah, well..."

Seeing Nito in her pajamas again after a long time feels different.

In the past, I had to strongly persuade her to wear other clothes.

"Hmm... Is there anything else?"

"Ah, and we're going to the black market from now on."

This was the conclusion we reached after talking with Ayane on Momotalk last night.

"It's dangerous for Nito, so stay home!"

"Good kids shouldn't go to such places~."

"We'll go by ourselves."

"We'll be back soon!"

"Yes. I don't know if it will be soon or not..."

I don't want Nito to go to the black market either.

"Nito, you'll stay home, right?"

"...Yes."

Nito looked a bit dissatisfied, but I let it go.

"Then we'll be going now. Sorry for waking you up!"

"Bye~."

"See you again later☆"

"Yeah, if you need any help, call us. We have plenty of grenades."

"Come to the ramen shop later!"

"Sorry for waking you up, take care."

Everyone said goodbye and went outside.

Now, just as we were about to head to the black market, someone spoke.

"Ah, that's right. This month's interest."

"Ah." "Ah." "Ah." "Ah." "Ah."

We have to go to Abydos first.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Ah... Something's missing...

The black market is a dangerous place, but I'm still disappointed.

It's the part where Hifumi first appears and the legendary bank robbery happens...

...Should I go watch it secretly?

No, it's too dangerous.

...But it's a bit of a shame to miss it.

I've been so tired lately.

...Wouldn't it be okay if I had a guardian?

I turned on Momotalk.

First, I looked for the most suitable person to be a guardian among my contacts, excluding Sensei.

-President

-Um, I have a favor to ask...

9:49 AM

-No.

9:49 AM

What a swift reply...

The person who could be considered a guardian disappeared immediately.

It looks like I'm stuck at home...

Ah!

There's one more person.

-Yuuka

-Yuuka, I have a favor to ask...

9:55 AM

-Hmm? What is it?

9:57 AM

She didn't reply immediately like the president, probably because she's working, but she still replied quickly.

-C-can you go somewhere with me?

9:57 AM

-Ah. I'm busy today, so I can't.

9:57 AM

Now there's really no one left.

It's too much to go alone without a guardian.

But thinking about it as a guardian makes me feel too much like a kid.

It's not a guardian, it's someone to go with me to prepare for any unforeseen events, yeah.

...Let's just stay home.

And that evening, the news reported that a bank in the black market had been robbed by a mysterious group of robbers called the Masked Swimsuit Gang.

Even while watching the news, I resented myself for not being able to witness it firsthand.

This body of Nito has never been helpful.

The protagonists in all the Blue Archive fanfics I've read are all super strong and can do everything by themselves, so why am I the only one with this useless body.

Why can't I use that thing that looks like an EX skill without straining my heart, and why are my basic stats so bad, and why do I become helpless just by getting my head patted...

I want! to be! Overpowered too!
