Unexpected Meeting

Huh?

Kuromiya-kun? Been a while? Who the heck was this brat and why did she know my other name?

“It’s me… Maya. Maya Shinobu.”, As if she could read my mind, she told me her name. Well, a name that wasn’t in line with what the system said. She must have been lying to me at the moment and assumed I’d fall for it easily.

Maya Shinobu? I felt like I’d heard that name somewhere, but I couldn’t put a finger on it. The name felt like it was of great importance to me, but… ugh. Too annoying.

“Oh, Maya. That Maya? It’s been a whi-”, Neburis’ blade went a tiny bit closer to my neck. One more push, and she’d have pierced my throat. Her strength wouldn’t be able to do that with my high defence, but her unique skill definitely allowed for it.

“So you don’t remember me, huh? I guess [Evolver] must be at work here.”

“!?”
