Entering The World Of HSDxD 31 She Found Out!

Irina - Yu~ I missed you!!

Saying this she jumped into my arms and hugged me. I did the same but before I could get lost in this moment I awkwardly looked at her parents. Her Dad gave me a cheeky smile when I looked at him, and her mom just held her hand to her mouth and laughed lightly.

Mr. s.h.i.+dou - Finally remembered about us did you Yu-kun?

Mrs. s.h.i.+dou - *Giggle* Should we give you two some room?

Yu - Ahem forgive me. Come inside my parents are in the living room.

Since I had Irina clinging to me it was troublesome to move but in the end, I was able to make room for them to pa.s.s through.

Mrs. s.h.i.+dou - Don't have too much fun you two~ We'll go on ahead of you.

Hearing her I couldn't help myself from blus.h.i.+ng a little.

Yu - [I can fight against monsters and not break a sweat but when in front of a future in law why do my defenses crumble so quickly.]

After thinking that I took Irina to where the rest of the kids were playing and introduced them to Irina. Murayama and Katase welcomed Irina since they were good friends before she left, while Matsuda and Motohama were staring at her with stupid expressions, causing me to jab both their eyes leaving them writhing in pain on the floor.

In the years we had been away from each other Irina still hasn't lost her twin tail hairstyle but other than that a lot has changed. Along with having a slight glow whenever she smiled she also began to develop in other places. He waist had already started to widen, and her previous flat chest had already begun to show a lot of promise. So I can understand why they were staring but I still didn't like it.

Issei - H-h.e.l.lo Irinoneesan

The only one who didn't stare like an idiot was Issei who greeted her with a stutter. Irina was one of the few people besides me who he couldn't talk back to, and she was also one of the main people who would disciple him when he was bad.

I bet he was thinking I was going to rat him out, but I didn't plan to. Sadly after we began to talk Kiriyuu who saw Issei be cautious around Irina spilled the beans. After that, all of us watched Irina lecture the perverted trio for about 30 minutes before I took Irina away leaving behind 3 'soulless' young boys.

When we left I took Irina to see Tsukihime who had just woken up from a nap. Tsukihime seemed to like Irina because she was staring at her while also stretching her hands out to her. I sat a little off to the side defeated since whenever she was in my arms she would cry and do her best to leave my embrace.

----

Once, Irina had enough of holding Tsukihime we both went out into the back yard to get some fresh air. Sitting on a newly placed bench in the corner of the yard we just sat there quietly. After a few minutes later Irina was the first to break the ice.

Irina - Hey Yu do you remember this~

Reaching into her s.h.i.+rt she pulled out the old necklace I gave her all those years ago. It seemed to be well taken care of since the chain and emblem were in perfect condition.

Yu - Isn't that the necklace I gave you when you told me you were leaving for Europe?

Irina - En~ I've been taken very good care of it since I have to give it back to you one day... Hey, Yu do you know where you got this? I've never seen an emblem like this before.

The beginning of her sentence was cheerful and sweet but the latter was with a light questioning tone.

Yu - Ah~ if I remember correctly I found it at a festival one day and bought it for 1,000 yen. Why?

Irina - It's nothing I just saw something similar to it on the news.

Hearing this the smile on my face twitched a little.

Yu - [Why would it be on the news? The only people who have an emblem like this are me, Irina, and-]

Irina - Yu?

While my mind was about to wander off Irina's voice brought me back to reality.

Yu - What's up?

Irina - I heard you are going to school in Kyoto now.

Yu - Ya it's an art school.

Irina - Then ... are you like Issei and also try to sneak into the girl's locker room?

Her question was so straight forward and direct that I couldn't respond immediately.

Yu - I'm not like Issei I don't go out and peek at girls! Why did you ask something like this?

Irina - ... It's because I can smell a bit of perfume on your clothes!

Saying this she moved away from me and continued to stare at me with a questioning gaze. Dazed for a minute I grabbed the collar of my s.h.i.+rt and took a quick sniff... She was right there was a hint of perfume on it, it wasn't like the perfume mom wore, it was like that of a young girl.

The only people who I knew wear perfume were Kuroka, and s.h.i.+rone whenever we go out at night to eat. Though I had already washed this s.h.i.+rt the scent of perfume still lingered, and as this was thought popped into my head and I realized I never really told Irina I would have more girlfriends.

Yu - [S***!!]

Irina - *Deep sigh*

When I was trying to figure a way out of this mess I heard Irina sigh. Then she looked at me with a somewhat sad expression. Seeing this my heart ached a little and I wanted to speak but Irina beat me to the punch.

Irina - Yu did you really miss me when I left?

Yu - Yes of course I did! After you left I was really sad and depressed. It even got to the point that Mom, Dad, and Issei tried to cheer me up!

Irina - Then when stop being depressed, you seemed normal when you saw me earlier. Rather than happy you were surprised.

That is true, I didn't really think she'd come here. I never really thought of the idea of Irina coming back to j.a.pan before the canon. But with me being in this world a lot of things changed.

Irina - ...Yu?

She seemed like she wasn't going to stop without an explanation so I couldn't be silent.

Yu - After you left I was depressed, and one day Issei tired to cheer me up but ended up getting hurt badly. After that Mom took Issei to the hospital and left me at home alone since Dad was away for a business trip. Since I was alone and didn't want to be in the house I went for a walk, there I found two girls who were being bullied. After I helped them we got to know each other and before I knew it we became good friend with me. Around the time we graduated from elementary school they had begun to give me the same feeling you gave me back then and before I knew it-

I wanted to continue but I was cut off by Irina.

Irina - So did you stop having feelings for me?

Yu - No of course not you never left my mind, I still thought of you from time to time wondering if I should go to Europe or not but I had no way to contact you or now where you were. The girls also knew about you but they still didn't want to give up. I-I-I *sigh*

I tried to continue but my words got stuck in my mouth. Knowing I couldn't couldn't come up with anything anymore I could only sigh. We were silent for a moment and millions of thoughts went through my mind. In the end, I could only brace myself and speak out my true thoughts.

Yu - ...Irina

Irina - ...

She didn't speak and just kept looking at me with a plain expression on her face. I couldn't tell if she was mad, sad, disappointed or what but I already resolved myself for what I was about to do.

Yu - Irina, I am ... a greedy guy I knew it was wrong to make more relations.h.i.+ps with other girls when I was already with you but I lost myself in greed. In a way, I am like Issei and I do dream of having a lot of girls who are mine and mine alone. The old me wouldn't have thought I'd be like this but before I knew it the chance was right in front of me and I took it. I made a relations.h.i.+p with them and I also don't want to lose them.

These were my true thoughts I didn't lie once in this confession. Being a King may have given me status and power but it can't seal away my emotions.

Yu - Even now that I'm saying this I'm still very nervous, but... I still really like you, Irina. I still want to have fun with you, laugh with you, and just spend time with you. I know this is really shameless of me but I can't deny who I am.

----

In the end after spilling out everything I saw that she was silent. I didn't want to see her expression since I knew it was going to be bad so I just looked at the ground and waited for her to slip, hit, or talk to me.

Seconds felt like hours, minutes felt like years, and I began to think she left. I don't know when but my hands balled into fists and my nails dug into my skin. After who knows how much time has pa.s.sed Irina finally made a noise.

Irina - *Deep Sigh* I expected something like this.
