UNNAMED - Volume I Chapter 9
Volume I Chapter 9: World of Uncertainty
In conclusion, there was nothing like that. Just Nanko expressed gratitude to the [Boy] and exchanged trivial pleasantries with a “You’re welcome” before the two entered the amusement park.

While watching the two, a girl seated on a bench near the fountain behind—Chizuru Koharu—slowly begins to move.
[1]Alright, for now, is the first stage cleared? But… Why didn’t Nanko attract the attention of some shady character? Since she was alone, she should have had some thugs bother her, and then the boy … Continue reading

Chizuru Koharu…
She was a purebred “romance-avoidant” individual. Although the author thinks of her as one face among three passing-by couples, (at least that’s what they believe, and Isana-chan is not losing! People only face defeat when they stop fighting. As long as they continue to fight, they haven’t lost yet. Now, let’s fight! (Several minutes later…) Oh no, stop, please, noooo, I don’t want to… noooo), feel free to ignore that word. We’ll also omit discussing her possession of the ultimate technique, “The Zone.” Despite being completely indifferent to her own romantic endeavors, she actively supports and sets the stage for others’ love lives. With a situational awareness surpassing the computation abilities of Arch●ar terminals and a talent for understanding and acting on “what needs to be done now” akin to Captain Erwin, she is a girl who can deliberately choose to “ignore” even when her school junior is on a date in disguise with an old man. That is “Koharu Hongu,” also known as “Ar●ne Katagiri” in this world.

Afterward, the two thoroughly enjoyed the amusement park without even considering a rough plan. As a result, they hopped on the Ferris wheel right from the start, queued up three times at the seemingly endless line of the food court, and ended with a coffee cup chosen for Nanko, who had accumulated fatigue from being overly excited. Despite occasional glances from behind, the [Boy] steadfastly chose to ignore them throughout. Nanko was completely unaware.
“Thank you. I’ve recovered completely, Nanko.”
“That’s great. Well… shall we head home?”
“Let’s talk to both of them! About today, Nanko.”
“Yeah, today was the best day ever! Thank you for coming today.”
While having such a conversation, they escorted Nanko home. Nanko’s mom expressed gratitude, and Nanko’s dad conveyed some resentment.
“It was really fun. See you again tomorrow, Nanko.”
“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”
After bidding farewell and waving to Nanko as she closed the door, the [Boy] turned on his heel and headed back home.

Let’s rewind time a bit. It was precisely when the [Boy] and Nanko were chatting and heading towards Nanko’s house. The [Girl], who had been at karaoke with a friend from middle school, happened to witness that scene.
[2]Isn’t that… [Boy] and Nanko…? Why at this time? Could it be…
The [Girl] couldn’t help but entertain a possibility she didn’t want to think about. However, she couldn’t outright deny that possibility.
[3]No way…
Thus, the seeds of anxiety were planted. The one who sowed them was not even aware, and for the one on whom they were sown, those seeds were uncontrollable.

Since she was alone, she should have had some thugs bother her, and then the boy could have come to her rescue! And then, apologize to the [Boy] and make him say something like “Nanko is cute, so she should have thought about such things!” Oh, the template is truly precious… |
