Ore no Osananajimi wa Joshikousei de Yuusha Chapter 58

I should’ve noticed this Yuuki is fake sooner

Having calmed down, Rosé kicked the fake in annoyance.

Explained Arina with a smile. Then, she told her off like it was something funny.

“And you sure can talk about being in love with Yuu-kun, being so easily fooled by something like this”

The moment Rosé heard that, she struck Arina with the rod she was holding with all her strength.

Arina stopped it with one hand as if it were nothing.

“A lot happened, I was tired”
It felt like an excuse even to herself, but Rosé had fallen sick 1. When she had went into denial of herself, Yuuki suddenly appeared and her eyes became clouded with joy. Otherwise, she would never have mistaken the fake for Yuuki.

“Hmph, sure. A similar one came to Arina, but a fake isn’t going to make me passionate like you were. Hm, but you can’t help it, can you. You’re not on the same level as Arina who knows Yuu-kun the best. Ahahaha♪”

Damn monster … she can still laugh even when hit right on the top of the head. So irritating.

“Not at all. Arina came to help, you know. Arina’s going to be troubled if a fake stole Yuu-kun’s Princess Rosé. Though, since it turned into something funny Arina ended up watching quietly. … ah, I know”

In the blink of an eye, the arms restrained Rosé’s body. One of them was holding her head like it was going to pluck it.

“Since you look like you’re getting too carried away, Arina will tell you this. Your feelings are an imitation Arina ‘planted’ in you. Arina is only letting you take Arina’s place. It will never compare to Arina’s real thing. You understand, don’t you—? ♪”

Her words stopped in mid-track. She clearly felt Arina’s killing intent in her hazy vision.

“——”

He only happened to be a fake today.

“Say it … ‘yes I understand'”

Arina’s disgust was plain on her face. She’s already irritated at Rosé stubbornness.

“Sure. Do what you like”

Furthermore, even if that were what she became, she doesn’t mind if she could think of Yuuki.

“Ah, I know. In that case Arina will erase your feelings for Yuu-kun”

Her body suddenly filled with dread.

“H, hold on! You planted this on your own didn’t you!? Then to take it away after all this …!!”

Blood drained from her body. She felt pain running on the back of her head.

For Rosé, he was right now the last thing supporting her heart in the maelstrom of her life.

“No, stop, please! I’m begging you! I won’t do anything selfish anymore! Anything but that!!”

“This is more important than my life!! You know that!!”

“So will the good girl Rosé listen to Arina properly and give Yuu-kun looots of love as Arina’s knock-off?”

Rosé had no choice but to accept.

After she unwillingly said so, the grotesque arms returned to the ground.

Released, Rosé fell down on her backside.

Rosé sighed. Too tired to feel grief.

She hesitated to take the homicidal demon’s hand a little, but she probably wouldn’t do anything more than this.

“Arina is in a good mood today, so Arina didn’t end up doing anything too terrible to you”

“You know, just now, Arina properly confessed to Yuu-kun. Yuu-kun knows now, even though Arina decided to not say …. Yuu-kun said, say it properly. Ehehee”

“Arina feels embarassed just remembering it♪”

Strangely, when she’s like this, Arina seemed like a normal girl in love just like Mist and the other girls.

— in that case, it was a little strange.

“I’ve been wondering for a while. You can control people’s minds, right? Wouldn’t it be easy for you to make Yuuki yours?”

“Don’t you want Yuuki to look at you?”

Which means, she wouldn’t hurt or endanger Yuuki in any way or form.

If she wanted to, she could have made Rosé into an inhuman bundle of loyalty like Glenn did, but at most, she only added a bit so that she matched Yuuki’s disposition.

Then Arina’s smile vanished.

“… It’s impossible for Arina. Arina’s puppet can’t do anything more than Arina can. There are too many things Arina can’t give Yuu-kun”

Rosé finally understood.

She didn’t feel she had the charms of a woman.

Even with her godlike powers, even with the power to cross time.

Arina had already realized that that thickheaded boy had no awareness of it.

And she was bound by the fetters of a ‘childhood friend’, making her unable to move.

Therefore she used other women to compensate for it.

Arina cast her head down for a while, then said

She then turned her back.

… There wasn’t any room for sympathy, but Rosé found her a little pitiable.

As she tried to say something to her, the air around Arina changed.

She threw her something.

“And this is?”

Black shadows creeped along the chapel walls.

“A guest, I wonder?”
“Something like that”

[Ready]

Arina and Rosé readied their swords.
Standing with their backs against each other.
