A Childhood Friend, Reunited After 10 Years Acts Deredere With Me - Chapter 33 - Sora-kun's Cheat Era

Chapter 33 – Sora-kun’s Cheat Era

“Nn! This okonomiyaki is delicious!”

The sight of Alice happily eating okonomiyaki reminded me of a little squirrel.

“Oh, I see. I didn’t know they didn’t have okonomiyaki in America.”

Come to think of it, Alice was a returnee. I guess they don’t have okonomiyaki in America. If so, it would be the first time to eat okonomiyaki at this cultural festival.

“Heh, I didn’t know Alice was in the U.S. I’ve never been there, but what’s it like?”

“Well, first of all, the food is huge, and you don’t see the same kind of customer-oriented stores as in Japan.”

“Wait… Why is Kouren here? If you’re here, you’ll be a nuisance, so don’t come here!”

Kouren is a celebrity with a high spec, and we were annoyed by the fact that he made three backhanded advances in one hour, directed only at her. What’s more… he’s interrupting my date with Alice.

“Eh~? It’s fine, isn’t it? We haven’t seen each other in a while, and our bonds have loosened.”

“Read the atmosphere! Akira wanted to fight with you, so go get him!”

“Akira? Akira…ah! That 4th guy with the bad eyes, huh? He’s amazing, isn’t he? He’s not a genius like the rest of us, but he’s reached a level where he can hold his own with me just by working hard. To be honest, his defensive skills are one of the top five in the nation, even though the team’s overall strength isn’t that great.”

Saying so, he holds out five fingers. One of them would be Kouren. This guy is a real genius and can do just about anything.

“Hee…Akira is that good?”

I had been casually competing with him, but it seems he was still pretty strong.

“By the way, the two strongest people are you and me.”

“Don’t include me! I’m already retired!”

“It’s fine~. Look, Alice looks happy, too.”

Alice is proud of my victory, as if it were her own doing.

“Hey…why are you so smug?”

“Well, I’m happy when someone I like gets praised so highly. I didn’t know Sora was such a great player.”

“Yes, he once had a match with an overseas professional player, and he scored five goals by himself.”

Ah…yes, there was that time. When I went to France, I was allowed to play with a professional team. He was a fast passer, and his technique, speed, and power were at a level that would be unthinkable in Japan.

“I didn’t score five goals, that’s too much. I scored three by myself.”

“Oh, I see. You hit about five by yourself and scored three goals, and the other two were free kicks.”

To begin with, scoring five goals by yourself against a professional team is impossible unless you are a world-famous soccer player… or maybe it is beyond the feat of a human being. I can’t do it in the slightest.

“But still cheat enough…”

As if interrupting Kouren’s voice, a certain person speaks up.

” Kouren Shinomiya… I found you…”

Oh, you’re here at last, Akira the soccer fool. I told him on line that Kouren was here, and they replied that they would be the first to go.

“Hah!? W-Why are you…?”

“Shut up. Get your ass in a fight, you idiot!”

“You’re talking like a yankee already! I mean, I came to this festival today to hook up with a girl, so why do I have to play soccer?”

You came to this festival for such a lousy reason. I’m appalled. That kind of person should be sacrificed to the Akira devil.

“Aah? Shut up. Then Sora, you wanna come?”

“Oh, sorry, Akira. I’m going on a date.”

With that said, I pulled Alice’s hand and ran away from Kouren and the demon. A few seconds later, I heard a scream from the back of the school building, “Noooooooooooooooooo!”  But I decided to ignore it.
