My Every Day Is Supposed To Be Same As Always But...?! Part 3
MIKOTO
"Huff huff "
The only thing I can hear that night is my own breathing as I'm running to catch up with Nanami.
The map that Mikage-sama drew seems complicated but luckily, the path going to the temple is actually just simple.
I don't know how long I've been running already, but I still haven't felt a bit tired at all. I even don't know how can I run so well by wearing just my bedroom slippers and I'm still in my uniform since I haven't changed clothes yet when I went to bed earlier.
In reality, I've been consumed by my excitement to meet Nanami. And then eventually, I saw her from afar while her back is facing me while walking slowly and holding a draft of a map on her hand and her bag on the other.
Brimming with joy, I ran faster like a fangirl chasing over a celebrity.
"NANAMI!! ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆ "
"Hm ?" Nanami turned around when she recognized that someone is calling her name.
*chase in excitement* *runs in shock* =-.. ε ٩ (๑> ₃ <)۶ з ฅ=͟͟͞͞((꒪∆꒪;)ฅ "NANAMI~! "Wah! Who are Please wait ~" you?! " ↑ ↑ Mikoto Nanami
"Please wait, I want to say something to you!", I called her loudly without care.
"Then please stop chasing me too! ", I barely heard Nanami's plead.
"Then why are you running away from me?", I asked her back.
I continue my exaggerated actions without noticing that I'm already scaring my idol away.
I even didn't notice that the stone tiles on the pathway we're stepping aren't stable.
"Kyaah !"
I stumbled down on some stones causing me to fall face flat on the ground.
"Huh ?", Nanami heard my painful fall and turned around.
"Hey, are you alright?", I heard her worried voice as she ran back to me.
"Uuuhh", I painfully groan in response.
Still lying on the ground, I looked up to and saw Nanami's full appearance - her silky long, dark brown hair that stops on her lower back even though she just uses cheap shampoo and her sparkling chocolate-colored eyes, rosy cheeks and fair skin. She's so simply beautiful in reality, someone like a real goddess. I can't stop admiring her.
But, hey! She's already a real human goddess, right?
"Hey, can you hear me?", Nanami called back my attention.
"Ah, yes. I'm fine", I replied courteously as I sat up.
She pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to me. "You had some dirt on your face", she said.
I accepted her handkerchief and wipes randomly on my face while recalling what had just led me to my fall.
My face turned deep red when I realized how wild and very out of character my actions earlier.
" (⁄ ⁄>⁄ _ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)💦 I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"
I repeatedly bow my head and apologize in embarrassment but Nanami just giggled.
"Heehee, It's just fine", she replied with a smile before she handed me a familiar piece of paper.
"I saw that you dropped this earlier when you fell down", she explained.
It's the map that Mikage-sama gave me.
"Mikage?", Nanami confusedly asked me.
"Oops, did I just said what I just thinking?", I slightly covered my mouth in panic.
What if Nanami realized something? Like how did I know Mikage's and her name?
"Ahaha, yeah a little", she casually laughed at it. "Is he that man?", then he described Mikage-sama's appearance.
I slowly nod nervously.
"I see. It seems like you have your own circumstances too", Nanami sighed but still wears a smile as she showed me her own drawn map.
~ʚĭɞ~
Nanami roughly explained to me what happened to her and how Mikage-sama offered his house to her.
Though I already know everything more than you did.
"New Master, huh?", I repeated with a smile.
"Yes, but I don't quite understand what is it about", she said
"What's your name?", Nanami asked me in a warm tone.
"Hoshino Mikoto", I replied. "That's the name my godfather gave me but actually my parents named me Alice"
"Wow, Arisu?, are you a half?"
"Ehehe, somehow", I awkwardly sweatdrop.
Well, I know that what's she's referring if I'm half-foreigner, half-Japanese. But I didn't expect she can't really pronounce my real name properly.
"Well, you can just call me Mikoto"
"Sure. Nice to meet you Mikoto, I'm Momozono Nanami", she also introduced herself as she reaches out her hands to me and pulled me to stand up.
"You can just call me Nanami too"
I just realized how short I am. My height just reaches till Nanami's eye level. Not surprisingly she treats me like a younger child.
Doesn't she know I'm older than her?
"Oh, I remember you already called me in my name earlier. Did Mikage-san told you about it too?", Nanami curious asked me in a friendly way.
Again, I knew more than what you know yourself.
"Ah, ye-yes", I covered up. "Anyways, I'll tell you everything while we walk. It's already so late at night"
"Yes, this is probably a prank but we might as well go since we don't have anywhere else to go anyway", she agreed as she stares again at the drawn map on the piece of paper on her hand
~ʚĭɞ~
We walked side by side while we follow the directions drawn by Mikage-sama. She never knew it would also give me a bit time to make up stories to cover up my weird existence in this world.
"Is that so?", Nanami verifies everything I've told her.
Well, I just told her that I'm actually from another country and my godfather adopted me since my parents can't take care of me for a while.
"So where's your godfather?", she asked.
"Uhmm.. I don't know where he is right now.", I simply replied. I can't tell her that the godfather I'm talking about is Mikage-sama himself.
"So you're abandoned too", Nanami helplessly sighed.
"Ehehehe, but I'm already with you now", I happily grin that which makes her smile too.
"And I'm sure it's not a prank", I proudly assured her.
