Against the Inevitable Destiny

CH 62 - Amaterasu

Well, after the previous incident, finally the damn servants came at the right time when we parted.

I don't know what they're doing, to take a long time to serve food. But that also doesn't mean I want them to interrupt my conversation with Shio. It's just-just

Sigh, forget it.

I was finally able to have a normal chat with Shio after the servants left.

“Riyu, do you know about the hot news in the Virtual world right now?”

Shio spoke while smiling happily. He returned as usual, not seeing any trace of his previous expression.

Even her cheeks that were flushed before this returned to their original color.

Virtual World is a platform that can help one to interact with each other and talk about a lot there. It might be similar to social media, just that it's more lively because people can benefit from their VR books.

“No. I haven't used my communications equipment in 3 months. Is there any news that matters?”

Well, that's. We spoke as if nothing had happened to us before. Shio didn't seem to want to leave any trace of what had just happened. I don't know what it is, I don't know.

But, whatever it is, I don't want to force her with that question.

Maybe he's still sorting out his feelings. Although she had expressed her feelings to me, but she knew that I was Mei's lover.

Although I had a feeling that he didn't seem to care about it.

Yeah, but that goes for me too. Before I accept it or tell her about my condition, I have to talk to Mei first.

Shio played his communication device a little later.

“Maybe, see.”

Shio turned his communication device into a hologram.

In that hologram, I could see images of the chaos that had occurred in Yozora City. Then next to the picture is another picture, and the picture is... me? Right, it was me who was wearing the mask.

But the information did not stop there, I then saw the title of the post next to the picture, after which - My face paled.

Then I shifted my vision to the thousands of comments on the post, then-

*Expedact*

“Uhuk, Uhuk. Ugh”

I choked after reading some comments there.

I coughed a few times while reaching for my drink.

“Riyu what happened? Are you okay?”

Shio approached and gave the water to drink with both hands. I was a little dissatisfied, therefore I touched his hand to pour more water. After that I finally survived.

‘Sial, that comment almost killed me.”

In the post, I read the title that made me pale because they were writing about something like Amaterasu, Masked Angel, or something like that.

But what made me choke was not that, but it was one of the comments there.

At the time of the disaster event in Yozora City happened, my hair grew to be a little longer due to the effects of >Mode Infinity<. But that's why people get confused and start questioning my identity, starting with whether I'm a boy or a girl.

It might still be acceptable because it means that my identity is safe. But this damn writer calls me a girl. She even gave her nickname as Amaterasu which means sun goddess.

“Riyu are you okay?”

After I calmed down, Shio started asking about my circumstances. Shio was still beside me which was a good distance close to me. And I can see her pretty face up close.

After realizing that, Shio's cheeks turned red again, but he still maintained his position.

“Um, it seems like that. I was just a little surprised by the news. I'm fine, thanks.”

I answered Shio's question.

But before I could calm myself down with the news, Shio told me something even more shocking.

“Um. By the way it's still not finished. There is a Dewi Amaterasu fan club, do you want to join?”

*decommissioned*

I felt an arrow piercing my heart. Wh-what? A fan club? Goddess Amaterasu?

I froze a little with what Shio said.

“Riyu?”

Seeing that I did not reply, Shio asked again about the invitation. I tried to calm myself down and tried to erase the club from my mind.

Let's ignore all the information Shio gave me. I will try not to get involved with the club.

“Uh. No. gabe. I don't seem interested in that."

“Do you, what a pity, when I am the chairman.”

*decommissioned*

I didn't expect that Shio was the chairman. He has a lot of followers and fans so it will be easy to make the club even bigger.

Besides, I would talk to Shio often, what else after she expressed her feelings. But what should I say if he talks about his group. Ugh just thinking about it makes me pale.

“That's it, sorry. But by the way Shio.”

“Ya?”

“Who wrote that post?"

I don't know which damn person slandered me like this, but I had to find him and teach him a lesson.

“She is vice chairman of Dewi Amaterasu Fan Club. I don't know his identity, but he's quite famous for his accurate information.”

Nonsense about accurate information. He called me a girl, and it was obviously wrong.

What am I supposed to do? I don't want to be considered a woman all the time.

You know, it's hard to keep my identity secret forever, even more so because sooner or later I'm going to deal with things like that.

Sooner or later my identity will be revealed, especially for certain people. And when it's exposed then I'll be the subject of a joke.

Ugh, let's use it that way.

“Really? But, that masked man, you know, he's actually a man.”

There is no choice but to say it.

I don't want to have a nightmare thinking about it.

“True.’

Shio looked surprised at first, but then he realized something strange.

“But why do you know about it? Isn't this the first time you've got this information?”

About him pretty thorough.

“Uh, maybe I seem to know the masked man.”

“Really?”

Shio became excited because of my words.

“Ya, like that.”

I answered.

Before Shio was excited to ask about the identity of the masked person, I cut him off and looked at him seriously.

“Shio hear this. Do you love me?”

“Um” Shio nodded.

It seems to work.

“Good, then don't ask about it, just spread the information that the masked person is not a woman, okay. If you do, I will give you a gift.

“True, bahkah if it was... a kiss?”

“Ya.”

There's no choice. I have to sacrifice myself, right?

“Good.”

Shio smiled happily after hearing my answer. I don't know why I feel so weird about that smile.

Fuck you writer

In a room full of computers and other electronic devices. A beautiful woman in glasses was sitting, staring at a monitor screen in front of her.

She has long black hair with unkempt hair and fairly revealing clothes. But instead of being like a lazy NEET with round glasses, she instead exudes her own charm as a slightly mischievous girl.

“acho.”

"imm? Is anyone talking about me?”

“Well, I don't care about that. I have to write more posts.”
