Chereads / My Wicked Romcom in an Absurd World / Chapter 4 - And it all starts...

Chapter 4 - And it all starts...

I flipped through pages continuously.... after the chapter where Aiko reincarnates in a new world.... everything, everything was written same as the events happened between me and this girl, suddenly a squeak stroked my ears, it was her voice, I rushed out and "WITH THE BLESSING OF QUEEN HIMIKO I SHALL BURN YOU WITH THE WRATH OF SUN....." She was chanting, in front of my television, while looking at a, at an ANIME ADAPTION OF A MAGIC ISEKAI "STOP!! STOP!! STOP!!, you'll burn the house down" [the spell she was casting was FIRE PUNCH I screamed at top of my lungs "N- No I can't let innocent people die...FIRE PUNCH!!!!!!" yup and that, that is where it all ended, My story, MY ROMCOM, MY EXPECTATIONS because, NOTHING HAPPENED!!! "Wait... why didn't it work, My magic, I- it didn't work, did they... die??" believe me or not I was as confused as her, even more confused than I was relieved about my house not burning down, I went into my room, "If she is from an ISEKAI than her magic should've worked... what is happening with me, this light novel, is someone playing pranks on me?? No, it can't be I am not enough social to have that kind of friends, as I even have friends to begin with... Is she really a victim of 8th grade syndrome, but no one will go to this extent just to roleplay" thoughts were flooding my mind, I had no choice other than confronting her up front about the matter...

I went into the living room again, she was still in shock, she was on the verge of tearing, I closed the TV "Listen, what you saw was, not real people" ... "huh??"... "Yea it was all just umm, An illusion" she rubbed her eyes "was that really an illusion??" ... "Yea it was...I'll go grab us some tea you sit here until then." she nodded her head, she seemed to take my word for it, as soon after, she was again poking my stuff, Today I saw a girl's emotional side in real life...what's happening with my life?? (tea pot whistles) "Ok it's ready, come here" she walked towards me, looking at my stuff, while I was looking at her face (and legs) my eyes were glued to them "O' God, you finally sent your angel for me" ... "you are again talking non-sense, what is up with you" ... "I am just admiring your beauty you know??" ... "See... non-sense" we talked while sipping the tea "so tell me Aiko, DID YOU DIE RECENTLY??" just to be cool I changed my voice and tone mid-sentence, looking back at it, it was cringe, but she got silent after that so It worked!!! I guess?? "y- Yes, I don't remember clearly, but right before we two met, I had been smashed by a demon commander, It seems no one knows me here, and I also can't use any critical spells, I can only use the one which requires less to no mana, but how do you know about that" so it seems that she really is a reincarnate, "oh that-" my phone started buzzing and as soon as I took it out of my pocket, She snatched my phone, and threw it into the tea pot "wha- what, wait, why?? Why would you do that??" "Tha- That was the same thing which possessed the people outside, Now as I saved you from that, I guess we are even" I was in shock, my eyes were widened, I totally looked like a chibi character in shock, "Wow thank you for saving me.... I greatly appreciate that the 1st time someone called me, you knocked the means of contact out, I am so relieved that I was saved from being a little social" she was not understanding a word I was saying, but she did understand that she messed up, so her cheerfulness about saving me faded away, her eyes went a little dull, The sparkle was no more, She looked like a dog getting scolded by their owner, i thought to myself "is she doing that, the thing which girls do, to get out of trouble, is she playing the VICTIM CARD... no she is clearly not, Huh, guess I'll have to buy a new phone"

I pulled my phone out of the tea pot, dripping with tea... "see this is not some weapon, this is called a mobile phone, it is used for communication, see this was released in the early 20-" now my landline was buzzing, I went ahead and picked it up, "hello, Ikari residence" ... "IkArI rEsiDeNsE... Why didn't you pick your phone up" ... "ohh it's just you Kobayashi" ... "ITS JUST YOU?????? Like someone else will call a loner like you, anyway I am coming to your place tonight, WITH THE DINNER I MADE FOR YOU, ItS JuSt YoU" "wait you're comi-" she hung up the call, and it all starts
