88. Iggyris Riko’s English

Then she seemed to be troubled for a while at her words mixed with my provocation. Then she sighed and said.

“Ha… Ok. But it’s morning in England now, so do it later.”

And at her words, I called for joy inside.

***

“So what?”

“Oh, do it quickly.”

Two hours later. Finally she called her friend.

Tiririri- Tiririri-

Then the receiver started to ring.

As I listened to the sound of the receiver, I swallowed in tension. It was because I was finally able to know one of the secrets of the world that I had been curious about.

I don’t know if the other kids wanted to hear it, or if it was just consideration, but thanks to the quiet silence around them, they didn’t say anything. Thanks to that, the sound of the receiver was felt louder.

Duk-

And finally, the caller cut off and the other person answered the phone. That kid from England.

“Ah! Rico-chan! Long time no see! But why did you call?”

“Oh, what… Just to talk to you Amelia-chan. hahahaha… “

“Eh, really? What’s wrong with Rico-chan, who didn’t call me once? I thought you forgot about me when I went to Japan, which I was looking forward to so much.”

“Ahahahaha… “

And the sound of talking.

“….”

“Riko-chan, how about Japan? Do you like it?”

“Oh well… Everyone is kind and nice.”

“Hey~.”

And.

The sound of that conversation.

…It must have been Japanese.

“??????”

And that put me in great confusion.

‘No, does this make sense?’

This is the kind of thing that, out of all the possibilities I’ve ever considered possible, didn’t exist. That would also be the case, because I, Iinazuke, and I had never had a conversation in Japanese with a foreigner when we went to Hawaii or other vacation spots.

So, if you think about it now, it is said that ‘Japanese as the official language of the world’, which is considered to be a possibility, is a nonsense story in the first place.

This is really… It didn’t make sense.

And as a result, I became even more confused, so I finally asked Igiris Riko for further understanding.

“That… Iggyris. Excuse me, could I have a talk with him?”

“Eh..?”

Then she seemed flustered even while on the phone. Then she covered the microphone on her phone and asked me in a quiet voice.

“Why..?”

“Just, a little… There is something I want to check. I’ll beg you, okay?”

“… ….”

At my earnest request, Rico, who hesitated for a moment, eventually nodded her head with a reluctant expression.

“That… Amelia-chan, I’m sorry, but can I change someone else?”

“On? Anyone else?”

“Yeah… My friend who is studying English seems to want to talk to Amelia-chan for a while.”

“Hey, well, good.”

After receiving her permission from her friend, she gave me her mobile phone, and I spoke to the British kid. In Japanese.

“Hello?”

“….”

“…?”

Then, a voice beyond the receiver could not be heard. As I was doing something in the silence, she spoke to me in English, not Japanese.

“Umm… I’m sorry, but I can’t speak Japanese. (Um… I’m sorry but I can’t speak Japanese.)”

“… ….”

In unmistakable English.

I was taken aback by that, and this time I spoke to her in English.

“Oh… I see. I made a mistake I’m sorry. Umm… Can you understand now?

I asked, and this time she raised her voice.

“Uh, I can understand now. But can I know who you are?”

“… ….”

And then I got dizzy again. Instead of answering, I left a word of apology and handed the phone over to Iggyris Riko.

“Amelia-chan, Gomen. My friend must have a lot to think about right now. hahahaha… “

“Well, it could be. Hi-Hi.”

And then the sound of conversation in Japanese came again.

“….”

What…?

As the girls started talking like that, I got some time to spare and fell into trouble.

Obviously the language she used when she just chatted with me was English. It was impossible to even communicate in English.

But now that the sign language department has been changed again, the language they are conversing with is clearly Japanese. And that’s in Japanese without a hint of heterogeneity.

‘Does this make sense..?’

I want this to make sense. In order for this phenomenon to be established, it had to be either that she was the only one in the first place according to the laws of this world, or that she and her friend were lying about me.

However, the latter case was highly unlikely. It was because I didn’t feel like they were lying, starting with the question of how they knew in advance what I was going to ask. And there was also the question of why they would tell such a lie. However, the possibility of the former was also not high. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to check it out through Inazuke.

“Hey.”

“Huh? Why, Shujinko-kun?”

“What language are they talking in now?”

Then she put on a slightly bewildered expression.

“Are you sure it’s English? Why?”

“… ….”

No way….

I turned and spoke to Osana Najimi this time.

“Hey.”

“What, Baka.”

“Do you understand what they are saying?”

“… Even if I don’t understand it, it doesn’t interfere with my life.”

She turned her head away from me, ashamed of the fact that she couldn’t.

“… ….”

And.

I was finally able to confirm that this phenomenon did not originate from the girls’ lies.

Then how can I explain this….

Huh….

…Anyway.

In this world, it seemed that this phenomenon was allowed only for Riko Igirisu. That is to say, the laws of this world were set that way only for her in the first place.

I hope this makes sense, but… On the day of the entrance ceremony, don’t the surroundings become cloudy, but don’t you feel the gaze again when you look at them? In many ways, it was a world where strange phenomena often occurred, so there was nothing that made no sense.

Let’s move on to the next one and think about why this strange phenomenon is happening to her….

It probably didn’t appear in the original work, but it must have been made this way to make the viewers understand it by using Japanese instead of English in the scene with a friend on the phone.

And I, obviously, have a different sense than the people of this world, so it must be something that the viewer can perceive.

“….”

Heh heh.

It’s sh*t, it’s sh*t.

As I finally figured out the situation and laughed, I heard the conversation next to me again.

“By the way, Rico-chan.”

“Huh?”

“Is that boy from earlier, Rico-chan’s friend?”

“Ah, uh, yes….”

“Hey~, Riko-chan, you didn’t get along well with boys because she was there 10 years ago. What?”

“Poem, noisy! It’s not that I didn’t like it because of that!”

“No way, Rico-chan’s guy…?”

“Hang up!”

And the broken phone.

… What?

Surely, the story of that girl from 10 years ago came up this time too, right?

And then, I started to pay attention to what I had heard in their conversation earlier.

Since she had mentioned a certain child from 10 years ago, she felt that this was not something to be taken lightly.

If it’s a Toyota, there’s another thing to consider. Even though it didn’t appear in the original story…. Still, in achieving the goal, it was not to be overlooked.

Because of her

I asked her.

“Iggyris.”

“Eh, huh?! Ah, you need to pay attention to what Amilia-chan said earlier..!”

“What do you mean, that girl from 10 years ago?”

“Uh, uh..?”

Then she turned into a puzzled face at my question. As soon as she became her true face, she sighed and said.

“Ugh, nothing. Just… Something happened before.”

“So, what is it?”

“Eh?”

Then she looked puzzled again at my sincere question. I guess I never thought I’d be this curious.

“No way, that. Is it related to Toyoda?”

And then, feeling frustrated, I finally got her to the point.

“Eh? Toyoda? Who is that… Ah..! That dark-haired boy! He was Najimi-chan’s childhood friend! But maybe, um… Maybe it’s not him. Because it looks like her hair wasn’t checked. But why?”

“Oh, is that so?”

After….

And I let out a sigh of relief at her words.

I was scared because I thought there was another big incident, but in fact, it was nothing. I was very fortunate.

“Nothing. Just what… There is such a thing.”

“…?”

Having been evasive, I started studying again to divert her attention. Then, fortunately, she also started studying instead of asking again. This was fortunate too.
