Since Aqua and Megumin are Yunyun's acquaintances, I invited them to join our picnic. Those two are eating like there's no tomorrow and Yunyun was apologizing to me for their behavior.
"Sorry, Haru-kun, I--"
"It's alright. We can have another picnic next time with just the two of us."
"Thank you, Haru-kun! I'm looking forward for it." Yunyun looks grateful.
"Isn't this just guy tricking you? You're an easy target after all by these kind of guys. He looks like a delinquent."
Megumin still treats me as someone suspicious.
"Haru-kun is not like that!"
The two of them are arguing.
Aqua was gulping my wine then she grabs a lot Karage from the box and put it all on her mouth. She burped loudly after swallowing her food which is unladylike. She acts like an old man than a Goddess.
"As I said, stop talking bad things about Haru-kun! He's been kind to me!"
"I'm telling you that he might just tricking you and he has other motives! You get easily get trick when you heard the word 'friend'!"
"He's not like that!"
"Yes, he is! This guy is staring at my boobs in the guild! He's a pervert who just want fondle your breast!"
Megumin and Yunyun continued to quarrel whether I'm good or bad guy.
Yunyun became teary-eyed then she turned towards me.
"Haru-kun, is that true?"
"Well, first of all, I can't deny that I'm a delinquent. Second, I can't say I don't have other motives since I'm thinking about something in the future, it's not a bad motive. And third, since I'm a guy, loving women's breast is already implanted in our instincts but I preferred girls with Thicc Thighs."
Aqua and Megumin are looking at me like some trash.
"Lastly, I just want to make it clear that I'm not staring at her boobs."
"Liar!" Megumin yelled at me.
"I'm looking for her boobs but I didn't find anything."
"What?!! Damn you!!"
Megumin became furious and Yunyun quickly grabbed her to stopped her from attacking me.
"Megumin, calm down!"
"THIS BASTARD!!"
"There's one thing I can reassure you. I promise that I won't make you sad and bring any harm to you. I will protect you."
"Haru-kun..." Yunyun looks happy.
"Oh..."
Megumin is still giving me a suspicious stare.
"What?! I'm just being honest!"
"Ugh! This guy is giving me a boyfriend vibes. Are you two dating?" Aqua said, disgusted by the atmosphere between me and Yunyun.
Yunyun was surprised and she turned red.
"Eh!?"
"Not yet." I responded, calmly drinking my tea.
"Yet...? See, you're really after her!" Megumin pointed at me.
"Yeah, that's my motive."
Yunyun let go of Megumin then turned around from embarrassment.
"Me? Haru-kun, dating? Kyaah~"
It seems like she's not against it and she likes the idea.
"I won't let you have her!!" Megumin yelled to me again which surprised Yunyun.
"Eh?!!"
"What are you, her father?" I followed with an old Tsukkomi.
"Damn this guy!"
"But I can't right now." I stood up in front of them.
Yunyun's eyes widened and she glanced to me.
"Why?"
"If I dated her, she won't have a friend anymore."
"Huh?"
"That's why, you have to work hard to gain real friends."
Yunyun looks determined.
"Okay, Haru-kun! I'll do my best!"
After the picnic, we went back home to Axel using my teleportation spell. Megumin seems still not trust but I didn't really mind. Together with her companion, they separated from us and left back home.
While walking home together, Yunyun was fidgeting while trying to move closer to me. I noticed that she's been looking at my right hand as she hesitates to hold my hand. I made the first move and held her hand myself which made her flustered then she looks at me with beet red face that her blush reaches her ears.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuu~"
"That girl, you two seems very close." I started a conversation with her.
"Oh, you mean Megumin? We known each other since our school days. Don't worry, she's not a bad person. I will tell her the good thing about you. I'm sure, you two will get along."
"Please don't! You're making it worst. You sound like you're bragging having a boyfriend to her and she will be pissed off of you."
"Eh, really?"
"It sounds like she doesn't want to lost to you."
"Of course, the two of us are rival! I always visit her to have a duel."
"Aren't you two friends?"
"I want to but, she doesn't seems to like it."
"Haha, what a tsundere."
"What do you mean, Haru-kun?"
"Nothing."
The two of us entered the Inn and we rested to our own designated rooms.
"Pssst! Shouta! Wake up!"
Someone was tapping my cheek and I woke up when someone called me by my real name.
"What?!"
"Sssh! Be quiet! We might wake up your neighbors."
The one who appeared before me was a young girl in thief which Cris but her real identity was Goddess of Fortune, Eris.
"How did you--"
Eris pointed at my window and smiled. As expected from a thief.
"I know, you're already aware of my identity so, you don't have to hide it if it's just the two of us."
"Then, Eris... what are you doing here in my room at the middle of the night."
Staring at me eye to eye, she grinned then said,
"Hehe... I have news for you, Arata Shouta. About how you got here."
The thing I was waiting for and I want to know.
"Tell me."
"In other words, my higher ups reincarnated you directly which means you don't have to go through us before coming here."
"What do they want? They didn't even ask me if I want to reincarnated or go to the afterlife."
"They didn't tell me the exact details but here..."
Eris took out something from her pocket and I was surprised when she brought me my flip phone from my past life.
"My phone!"
"They tinker it a little bit before giving it to you."
"Don't tell me... They turned it in a cheat item?"
"I don't think so. You're whole existence is already a cheat."
"What do you mean?"
"Apparently, I can sense divinity on you but not pure. It's the same as a Demi-God."
"But it says in my card that I'm a human--"
Looking at my Adventurer's card, I was surprised when my race changed to Demi-God.
_____________
Haru
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Race: Demi-God
Lv. 24
Job Class: Part-timer
_____________
"What?!"
Eris casted a spell and my race changes back to Human.
"Please take your time discovering things. That's all I can say. Someday, you'll find out everything."
"Okay..."
"That's all, see you around, Shouta-kun!"
She jumped out from window and disappeared quickly.
I opened my phone and checked the changes when I saw that there's a signal and internet.
"Huh?"
I tried to open the YouTube App and play some normal video of a cat and it was running. An idea came to my mind, search information about this world but it says 'not available'. It seems my chance of using this phone as a cheat was disabled. This phone is an old model so, there's not much any function. I thought I can become some MC who uses his Smartphone to combine with his cheat but I guess not.
I check my contact and the only remaining in the list was my little sister Lolisa and Shizu-nee which is my big sister.
I gulped, trying to call my little sister. The call was ringing until it quickly picked up.
*Hello! Is that really you, Onii-sama?!*
I was shocked when I heard my little sister's voice but it was a little different.
"Lolisa! What's happening over there?"
*I-I don't know... After I got killed in an accident, I woke up here in different world.*
"You too!"
*Onii-sama, don't tell me-- You're in a different world too!*
"Yeah, it seems the same thing happened to us. Where's Shizu-nee?"
*Onee-sama? I didn't know how to contact her. I was really happy when I got a call from you just now.*
"Okay, which world are you now? Do you have any idea?"
*I'm here in a world with supernatural beings called Spirits. There is this guy named Itsuka Shido and he's pestering me to talk with him. He's really annoying.*
"Alright, shoot him down."
*Roger, Onii-sama.*
"Wait! I'm just kidding! Don't kill him."
That means, she's in Date A Live World.
