'Ichirou! Kyouka's...Kyouka's dying!' Ryuuga's voice was more distraught than I had ever heard as she told me of Kyouka's condition. It's clear why she's so stressed. It's obvious that she would be in a panic upon her only sister being in a critical state. However, there's one thing about what she said that's on my… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 3 Part 5

I gave Ryuuga a word of caution. I then walked with her to her home, and headed off towards my house. (Good grief, Ryuga...you're heading towards a slippery slope, aren't you?) While making such a complaint in my mind, I took a deep breath. I'm okay with Aogasaki finding out about her being a woman,… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 3 Part 4

"Yeah. I heard about Qiongqi's ability from Hundun." It was after school the next day. I began to speak about the "Evil Spirit" Qiongqi to Ryuuga in the classroom, but she already knew about his ability. Ryuuga would normally go home immediately, but she was leisurely packing up today. Kyouka's condition was remaining stable for… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 3 Part 3

Nothing happened for two days. Qiongqi's faction hasn't made any movements, and the Kobayashi household became calm. Ryuuga was focused on taking care of her sister, and the heroines took shifts patrolling around the city. They entrusted me with Elmira's situation after school. (I was ecstatic when he called me Papa a while ago, but… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 3 Part 2

Separating From Hinomori Kyouka It was the morning after Elmira and Shizuma were brought to the Kobayashi household. When I arrived at school, I immediately gathered all of the main characters at the rooftop, and reported that I have "confirmed Elmira's whereabouts". Of course, I kept the specifics hidden. "Y, you found Elmira?! Did you… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 3 Part 1

Around ten minutes had passed. Returning home, accompanied by Elmira and Shizuma, I saw that Mion and Jyuri were understandably bewildered. "E, Elmira McCartney?" "That baby is the one from the pictures Ichirou had..." Unable to grasp the situation, the two stood still at the entrance. Kiki's next words further stupefied them. "Mion, Jyuri. From… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 2 Part 6

Nearly thirty apostles were slain. That rascal of a young girl had settled it in the blink of an eye, I've seen Kiki's combat power several times before. I'm not too surprised, but even so, I couldn't help but shiver and feel discomforted. I didn't think that the girl who hated spinach, collected toy monsters,… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 2 Part 5

I crashed into the apartment with a fierce dash. Elmira and Shizuma weren't there. From appearances, there didn't seem to be any signs of a battle. Perhaps she sensed that the enemies were approaching and fled the area in a hurry. (If she were to run away...she might be at the cemetery!) Elmira and I… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 2 Part 4

"Ichirou. Sit over here." It was after dinner. Mion suddenly stopped me as I was trying to leave the living room. The heron apostle had a stern expression, pointing towards a cushion on the floor. I followed her order, unable to refuse. ...I could predict what this was about. It seems that the three princesses… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 2 Part 3

For better or for worse, my "search for Elmira" with Yukimiya had ended. When I fainted, Yukimiya was worried about me and said, "Kobayashi, it seems you're tired. It must be those supplementary lessons and homework...", deciding to continue the search by herself. (I feel a bit bad about it, but I'm thankful for being… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v4 Chapter 2 Part 2
