Chapter 5 – Gamers and the Past and Future

“Amano-kun, you’re asking me how did I feel when you rejected my club invitation, right?”

Someday after I started dating Tendou-san.

We opened our bento in the Game Club room just as usual. I asked her a question that I want to know the answer to since a long time ago.

“Why are you suddenly asking this, Amano-kun?”

Tendou-san enjoyed her little octopus-shaped sausages as she expressed her confusion.

I scratched my cheeks and continued.

“Well, how do I put it…? I’ve always felt guilty about that, and I’m really sorry to Tendou-san at that time.”

“Amano-kun, you didn’t change at all. I already forgot about that. Moreover, I can understand what Amano-kun was thinking.”

“But you were really mad at that time, right?”

“W-Well…”

Tendou-san didn’t know how to answer. She put another piece of octopus-shaped sausage into her mouth awkwardly.

I mustered up my courage and asked further.

“S-So, Tendou-san, what were you thinking at that time?”

“…Then, I’ll answer honestly?”

“Please do that!”

Tendou-san bent to my determination with a deflated expression. She sighed and put down her chopsticks for the moment.

“…It can’t be helped. Well, right here, please allow me to…recreate what I was thinking at that time.”

“P-Please.”

“Ahem.”

She cleared her throat and sat straight. Then, she stared at me directly-

-Suddenly, she was on the verge of crying and screamed at the top of her lungs!

“H-How could you do that! I hate you! I hate you so much! Idiot, you’re a big idiot! Uwah!”

“Gurk!?”

Keita Amano suddenly suffered massive mental damage! I can’t help but grab my own chest along with the shirt.

On the other hand, Tendou-san…

“…Just like that.”

In conclusion, she reverted to her usual calmness and started digging in her rice.

“I’m really sorry…”

I can’t help but apologize and freaked Tendou-san out.

“W-Why are you apologizing now? Like what I said before, I already understood you.”

“But, I still really want to sincerely apologize to Tendou-san at that time…”

Tendou-san chuckled upon hearing what I said.

“What’s wrong? Really, you’re way too honest.”

Tendou-san looked at me, passionately.

I looked away. She continued. “However-“

“Come to think of it, I really want to know this. At that moment, what did Amano-kun think about me at that time?”

“Oh, really? When?”

After hearing my question, Tendou-san slightly sipped her tea and answered.

“Can you sincerely tell me what was your first impression and feelings when I first talked to you in the game store?”

“Eh, what?”

“Please tell me, alright!”

Tendou really looks forward to my answer. …This is hard.

(However, …I must answer seriously as well, yep.)

I made up my mind. Then, I injected my mind into the past and presented my feelings.

So, …facing Tendou-san’s passionate eyes, I tried my best to recreate what I was thinking.

“H-Hiya!? What is this! Why…? This is freaking me out…! I want to go home…!”

“That’s what Junji Inagawa says when he encounters a ghost, right!?” [Note: Junji Inagawa, an actor and director specialized in horror stories.]

Tendou was shocked as she fell speechless. I started getting anxious and asked her.

“Tendou-san, what’s wrong!? Did the fried chicken in your bento just talk?”

“That’s scary! Nobody thinks
