IS Infinite Stratos Volume 4
It's August. Such hot weather must be unreal. From long ago, I've hated this country's summers. I've detested them.
I'm not this country's citizen to begin with. I'm here at first due to circumstances regarding my parents, then later due to circumstances regarding my native country.
Huang Lingyin is my name.
The exclusive pilot of the IS ShenLong and a representative cadet.
And now I'm a first-year student attending the IS Academy.
"So...hot..."
It's August, and the IS Academy enters the late summer vacation. Because of this, roughly half of the students that came from all throughout the world returned home. I also truly thought about returning to my country, but––
"..............."
But, it's better to forget it.
Even if I return home, my parents won't be there together; and I don't want to receive the annoying training of the military. Besides, there is another reason why I don't want to return.
(That guy, he should still be here. Good grief; why should I invite him. He really is the same guy from before.)
Walking down the dormitory corridor (geez, why is there no air conditioner!), I gradually became angrier.
––Oh yeah, I'll just have to let that guy come invite me. Thinking that, I made a U-Turn –– and at that moment, I unexpectedly ran into him.
"Oh, if it isn't Rin? What´s up?"
"I-I-Ichika!? W-Why are you here, weren't you in your room?"
"Ah, it's because I forgot to turn in my report... Hm? What are you holding?"
"N-Nothing!"
Reflexively, I hid the ticket that I was holding in my hand, behind my back.
......Ah, not good!
"Hum, you noticed? Actually––"
Even though I could obviously go on like this! Even though I could've said it!
"......?"
Gu...... he's giving me a "what's she doing" face......
Aah, ahem ahem!
"T-Today sure was hot."
"Hm? Is it? I feel like it's still cool."
"It's very hot. This country's summers have always been like this."
"Ah, so you´ve still got something against hot weather."
Uuuuhh...
He, remembering the past, made me a little happy.
––Ah, no no! He's forgotten the important promise!
"Well, whatever. If that's the case, then do you wanna come to my room? There's an AC."
Hm? Perhaps this is a chance......?
"W-Well, is that so. Then let's go to your room. And give me a drink?"
"Yeah, yeah. Is barley tea[4A 1] OK?"
"If it's cold, then anything is fine."
As I said that, I walked side by side with Ichika.
It's quiet in the dorms now, giving a bit of a "Just the two of us in the world" feeling.
(Come to think of it, I don't smell of sweat, do I......?)
Suddenly bothered by such a thing, I took half a step away from Ichika.
Don't worry. Don't worry...... Even though I was thinking that, because of this heat, I can't help but sweat a bit. ––Yes, I can't help it!
"Rin, hey."
"!? W-What!?"
Without hesitation, Ichika brought his face near me. ––Woah, too close, too close! I reflexively forced that face away.
"......Say, even though I called you a lot of times, you didn't respond!"
"H-Hmm? O-Oh! Sorry about that! I was thinking about something."
"Rin was thinking about something? Hmm."
"W-What......"
"Ah, nothing in particular. Well, it's that, if you can consult with someone, do it as much as possible. If you take it upon yourself alone, nothing good will become of it."
"H-Hum...... I know already......"
Ah, not good...... My heart's beating very fast. What, idiot. My height has alas grown over a long period of time, I've become an IS pilot, and moreover...... I'm improving my manners and whatnot......
