IS Infinite Stratos Volume 8
"So?"
"..."
After school, at the open air area of the canteen, Kanzashi was facing the fuming Rin.
Without any explanation, she had been brought here and then was treated like this. As the "shy" personality of hers was being clearly exposed, she trembled while cringing.
(Why... am I experiencing a situation like this...)
By the way, Rin was not the only one present. Houki, Cecilia, Charlotte and Laura, these familiar faces, were also around.
If a certain person were to join them, all of the first-year personal-IS pilots would be gathered here. Seven people in total, which also meant seven IS machines. A number that only a handful of militaristic countries can barely compare themselves to.
"Err, Rin, could you calm down? You are scaring Kanzashi-san."
Charlotte stood up and expressed her gentle nature to comfort everybody.
"Stop it, Charlotte. I'm already holding back the desire of resorting to torture and truth serum right now."
Crossing her arms and standing up, the angry Laura shot down Charlotte's words.
Even so, she was acting a lot gentler than how she would usually act, which was by using her bayonet.
"Don't say that, Laura. Here, Kanzashi-san, have some orange juice. You must be thirsty, right?"
"..."
Kanzashi looked up at Charlotte timidly. Seeing this, Charlotte revealed a kind smile.
(Well... This person doesn't seem to be bad...)
She thought, as she began drinking the orange juice.
On her second mouthful, Charlotte, maintaining her gentle smile, asked:
"Keep going. So what exactly is going on?"
Smile~★
"...?"
Not understanding the question, Kanzashi returned a clumsy smile while tilting her head.
At the same time, Cecilia and Houki stood up, outraged.
"I-I-I am saying! W-Wi-With Ichika that! "
"I-I-In a relationship?!"
"——!?"
To be suddenly asked such a question, Kanzashi blinked in surprise and then gasped. After a while, her face turned red.
"M-Me and Ichika... are not like that..."
"Ichika?"
Rin repeated in surprise.
(What's wrong with this person, suddenly calling him by his first name. Doesn't it seem too intimate? ... Wait, come to think of it, am I not the same? ... Well, it's not such a big deal... Yeah.)
Boiling a second prior, then returning back to calm the next second.
Then, as the five people, boiling again, stared at Kanzashi, the latter could not help but continue to shrink.
"Thi-This... is... aah... though I do not bear such thoughts... in short, it is like this..."
The usually soft-voiced Kanzashi, under the pressure of the five people in front of her, had her voice become even softer.
Her last few words could not be heard. But seeing her lowering face, which became red, while fiddling with her fingers, everyone confirmed something.
——"Aah, another rival, huh?"
"..."
Kanzashi, like a frightened little animal, curled up.
The five, now aware that Kanzashi was not actually in a relationship with Ichika and seeing her in such a pitiful state, frantically tried to change the topic.
"Ah, um. Sarashiki... -san?"
"Kanzashi... Please just call me Kanzashi..."
Houki asked in a state of panic while Kanzashi replied in the same state as well.
