About twenty minutes have passed. After purchasing the magazine she wanted, Aogasaki and I left the bookstore and wandered around. A minor, unexpected incident had then occurred. In front of us, a man and woman were having some kind of argument. It seemed that the guy was trying to hit on her. A tall, brown-haired… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 2 Part 3

The conference ended up finishing on a very sour note. Fortunately, Ryuuga has shown a certain level of understanding regarding Taotie. "At the very least, I now know that Taotie doesn't intend to harm the world of humans...It seems like he has some ill intentions towards me, though." It seems that his treatment towards a… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 2 Part 2

The Merry Evil Spirit and the Heron Girl It's been two days since Taotie woke up. Immediately after was the decision to have a discussion between Ryuuga and Taotie. Following Hundun, this would be the protagonist's second meeting with an "Evil Spirit." Truthfully, I wanted to postpone it a bit. I wanted to at least… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 2 Part 1

"*sigh*...how did things come to this...?" It was night. Returning home while feeling down, I voiced my complaints while resting my head on Mion's lap. ...The result of following Aogasaki on her date ended up being very troublesome. Who would have thought that it would turn into a five to five team battle between the… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 1 Part 6

(Ah, she went and did it...) After Ryuuga angrily stood up while placing both hands on the table, I gave up and watched the situation unfold. Unfortunately, the tailing operation pretty much failed. The protagonist lost patience before Aogasaki did. "...Ichirou, sorry. I'm reaching the limits of what I can bear." "Well, I suppose there's… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 1 Part 5

Two days had passed. I met up with Ryuuga as planned in order to tail Aogasaki and King Arthur on their date. Yukimiya, Elmira, and Kurogame weren't participating. Though they're worried as well, we're in danger of being spotted if we have any more people. I hope that they'll leave this to us. "I feel… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 1 Part 4

Night had arrived. After finishing dinner, I neglected my summer vacation homework and looked up Getsushiyoukan on the internet. Getsushiyoukan is only four years old, making it a swordsmanship dojo with a shallow history. However, its reputation is quite high and its branches continue to increase. It's vastly different from the Aogasaki dojo, which has… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 1 Part 3

"I've been waiting. Now, please come." Once we arrived at Aogasaki's residence, she gave her greetings and guided us to a reception room. Sitting on cushions surrounding a table, Aogasaki handed out cold barley tea. Outside the view of a balcony, there stood splendid pine trees and cherry trees within a yard, and a glimpse… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 1 Part 2

An Unexpected Substory As far as I know, the girl named Aogasaki Rei has "two faces." ──One face is that of a stoic swordswoman who is the heir to an age-old swordsmanship dojo. Like one who seeks their own path, she's a strict, straight-laced warrior girl...and she's immensely popular, even in Oumei High School. It… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 1 Part 1

Prologue Do you know about a certain group of beings? I'm referring to the menacing peculiarities called the "Apostles of Hell," who threaten this world. They can take the form of humans and cleverly slip into human society. Even today, they cause mysterious phenomena that modern science can't even explain. So if there's someone like… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Prologue
