Chapter 27: The things we worry about each other
420: Anonymous Combatant
What on earth happened…
421: Anonymous Combatant
I don’t know. But it’s certain that Fiona asked Hakase out on a date.
422: Anonymous Combatant
What’s a date in the first place? (Philosophy)
423: Hakase (Years without girlfriend = age)
That’s what I want to know most.
424: Anonymous Combatant
How come you’re good-looking but not popular?
425: Hakase
I respected my dad, but others didn’t.
They’d mock me like “Haha, your dad went from being a bottom-tier host to unemployed!”
But when I showed results as a Divine Spirit Engineer, suddenly there were tons of people coming around saying stuff like “I’ve always thought you were nice, Hakase-kun~”
To be honest, I’m not really good with girls.
426: Anonymous Combatant
Wow…
427: Anonymous Combatant
So those kinds of women exist even across dimensions.
428: Anonymous Combatant
So you were only popular with women you didn’t want to be close to.
429: Hakase
>>427 Don’t worry, there’s also a fair share of crazy guys and old fossils.
Fortunately, after joining the organization, there were only nice girls like Sexy and A-ko, so I didn’t become distrustful of women. Even Cat Ears is kind despite growing up in that environment.
Gorilla Macho’s wife is also a princess with both beauty and character.
But somehow, I never had any connection with girls like that…
430: Anonymous Combatant
It’s sad that all the nice girls belong to other guys…
431: Anonymous Combatant
We could make an NTR game starring Hakase.
432: Hakase
Could you please not try to break my brain?
By the way, someone said this before. That my “like” for Fiona-tan isn’t much different from saying “Cute! I want to marry her!” about your favorite idol.
That’s probably true. She has exactly my type of looks, and I was first captivated by how brilliantly she fights, even though she’s an enemy.
Then we started talking because of some circumstances.
It’s heartwarming how close she is with Eres-chan, and I learned she has age-appropriate weaknesses too.
But now I think she’s not just like an idol, but a normal good girl who’s doing her best.
That’s why I’m honestly confused about being suddenly asked out on a date.
433: Anonymous Combatant
“Some circumstances” (price quote)
434: Anonymous Combatant
Something feels off about Hakase’s narrative.
435: Anonymous Combatant
You too? Actually, me too. What is this feeling?
436: Anonymous Combatant
And the, Lost Fairies girls enter
Sorry, I just realized something really unpleasant. I’ve been thinking this while reading the posts, but Hakase has some strange illusions about girls.
Could it be this person hasn’t experienced first love yet?
437: Anonymous Combatant
No way, that can’t be.
438: Anonymous Combatant
That’s impossible.
439: Hakase
Ah.
440: Anonymous Combatant
What do you mean “Ah”!?
441: Anonymous Combatant
You’ve got to be kidding!?
442: Anonymous Combatant
Get it together, you’re twenty-six!
443: Anonymous Combatant
Now that I hear that, it makes sense. He’s just like an elementary school boy who’s normally a good guy but overthinks things when it comes to someone he likes.
444: Hakase
Come to think of it, forget about having a girlfriend, I’ve never even confessed to anyone.
I’ve been working among adults since I was a kid to support my dad.
Even after joining the organization, I was basically like a caretaker.
Now that you mention it, I’ve never had a first love… no, Fiona-tan is my first.
445: Anonymous Combatant
Casually dropping that dark detail about supporting his dad.
446: Anonymous Combatant
You really have zero romance experience? Did you miss your chance because everyone around you was terrible during your childhood?
447: Hakase
What should I… what should I do…?

Well, I’m surprised, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Probably.
449: Anonymous Combatant
Yeah, she’s only sixteen too. Unlike where Hakase’s from, here that’s definitely still a child.
He shouldn’t be expected to handle this like someone experienced in love.
450: Anonymous Combatant
The real problem is Hakase’s way of thinking.
Hey, everyone! You know what our job is, right?!
451: Anonymous Combatant
Yeah! We need to support Hakase so he can properly make it to the date!
452: Anonymous Combatant
First, just calm down. You’ve got us virgins supporting you.
453: Anonymous Combatant
Hakase, what you need right now isn’t date planning.
You need to look at yourself and figure out how you want to face Fiona-chan.
Does liking her mean you want to date her?
If you date her, will you leave the Leader?
Or will you try to bring her to Delnkeim’s side?
Is your “like” strong enough to not waver in such situations?
454: Anonymous Combatant
You need to think about real romance, not just like being a fan of an idol.
At least Fiona-chan used the word “date.”
That means she has significant feelings for you and wants a dating relationship.
Being half-hearted will only hurt that girl.
455: Hakase
Yeah, you’re right. I only thought about liking her and enjoying being together.
I hadn’t imagined anything beyond that.
Maybe I was thinking too lightly about this.
456: Anonymous Combatant
Also, don’t forget. Fiona-chan didn’t fall for Halvied.
She fell for the Japanese Hakase-san.
More specifically, she’s not attracted to the idiot who waits naked with anal tablets, but to the slightly airheaded but reliable and kind big brother figure.
Plus, she’s hiding her identity as a transformed heroine.
Currently, there’s probably quite a gap between Hakase and Fiona-chan’s awareness.
While Hakase thinks she’s cute even though she’s an enemy, whether Fiona-chan would think he’s cool even as an enemy is another matter.
457: Anonymous Combatant
Ah, that’s it. It’s a classic tragedy in tokusatsu – falling in love without knowing they’re enemies.
458: Anonymous Combatant
Isn’t it different from love?
Currently, they’re just somewhat interested in each other, have good feelings, that’s about it.
459: Anonymous Combatant
The biggest issue is that their understanding of each other is too low for it to be love.
It’s also painful that Hakase’s position is that of an enemy who deceive and got close to Fiona-chan.
460: Anonymous Combatant
Worst case, she might get angry and it could turn into a battle.
461: Anonymous Combatant
For now, don’t give up, Hakase. Thinking alone will just lead you in circles.
First, if you have anything to say, let it out here.
We’ll keep posting random stuff, just pick up the responses that seem useful to you.
462: Hakase
You guys… Thanks.
I didn’t expect you’d go this far for the future of Fiona-tan and me.
463: Anonymous Combatant
Well, whether it’s actually helpful is another matter.
464: Anonymous Combatant
Don’t say that lol
465: Anonymous Combatant
The fact that he naturally imagines a future together shows Hakase’s feelings are pretty strong.
466: Anonymous Combatant
What worries me is how Fiona-chan feels about it.
I hope things don’t get complicated in a bad way
467: Anonymous Combatant
Should he reveal his identity, or keep dating as Hakase-san in secret?
Maybe the double life we talked about before would work best.
468: Anonymous Combatant
Emotionally, we’re on Hakase’s side.
Whatever Fiona-chan chooses, we want an ending where Hakase isn’t hurt.
469: Anonymous Combatant
Supporting the evil scientist and worrying about the movements of the justice heroine.
This makes no sense anymore.
470: Anonymous Combatant
It’s too late to ask for ethics from nyanJ members lol
