Chapter 26: Chapter 25: "A new Path part 2"
*Some time later*
Tadano now in his normal appearance was walking back home. In his hand was the black blindfold that covered his eyes previously. One would wonder how he could play the guitar, dance and walk properly with that on. And well the answer was simple.
This was no ordinary black bandage.
[Item color: Gold]
[YorHa Tactical Visor – Semi Sealed]: It is a Visor carried by all Androids deployed by YorHa on earth. It has high defensive characteristics and includes Analysis, Hacking, information collection and location Mapping functions. Due to the Nonexistence of the YorHa Network in this reality, the Viewer is partially sealed, leaving only the Analysis function available.
He obtained this item while holding a draw on the system roulette on the day Komi and Agari became friends. A week had passed since then.
Tadano had voluntarily decided to distance herself a little from the duo of friends. At least for a time.
This all started a week ago.
He had noticed, his behavior was too strange. And he got worse as long as he was around girls who caught his attention.
Immediately after returning home he wanted to learn the skill that Lady Luck gave him. Since he saw that Agari and Komi had given him more than enough points to improve all of his stats up to 10 without much trouble.
However, a message from Lady Luck herself stopped him in his tracks.
*Ding*
"Lady Luck recommends that she not learn the skill right now."
Tadano: "What? Because?"
*Ding*
"Lady Luck warns, at this time the host is in the process of developing a second nature or secondary personality. This personality turns out to be more manipulative and cold in his actions. Lady Luck states that this may be because the initial fusion between your original soul and that of the Mortal Tadano Hitohito was not completely successful, creating a small void where this secondary personality is gestated.
Tadano: "Then what should I do, I don't want to hurt Komi-San or force her to do something she doesn't want just because I was horny or worse yet push down any girl who catches my attention for the simple fact of wanting to do it."
*Ding*
"Lady Luck suggests that the host should be away from the mortal known as Komi Shouko for a while. These emotions originate from her and her new friend Agari Himiko. If the host has not noticed, he is currently missing." influenced or have that kind of feelings towards her like before when he was together with her. Lady Luck suggests that you spend some time away from her while you calm your mind and when it is calm, acquire and practice the Skill [The Calm of Chaos – Semi Sealed] once this is done and with extra protection you will be able to avoid acting recklessly like this afternoon"
Tadano: I think you're right. To avoid harming him I will have to make a sacrifice. The good thing is that Komi-San now has Agari and Najimi. Even if i doesn't want to, I will try to introduce her to Yamai since she is the one who gave rise to the rest of the people starting to interact with Komi."
Tadano: "I just hope she doesn't do the same stupid thing as in canon."
Tadano: "Since I won't tolerate her nonsense like the original Tadano would have."
So it's a week.
Komi-San on numerous occasions wanted to look for him to talk or get together to go out with the 4 of them, however Tadano refused, claiming that he was busy.
Although this depressed Komi-San and her sad face broke my heart, he had to harden my conviction.
This was for Komi-San, he wouldn't know what he would be capable of if he continued in that unrestrained state.
He did sin a little though and from time to time he would go up to Komi and give her sweets or stroke her head for no reason.
He couldn't help it, she was too pretty and her heart hurt so much to leave her aside.
Although he couldn't spend time with her, he was able to give her ideas and advice on how to have fun with her friends or how to relate to others.
Thanks to this and a lot of effort she informed him that she was able to become friends with Inaka-San after 3 long days of constant effort.
At that moment she became very happy and tried to hug him but he quickly moved away and used Agari as a human shield.
Who gladly obeyed and aroused by being used as a simple meat shield, she had no problem with the matter.
At that moment she could see how some tears escaped from Komi's eyes and when she wanted to say something in her defense she ran away from him.
It was when he realized that this solution had no future, no matter if he managed to return to him previous self he would seriously hurt Komi-San in the process.
Instead, after much thought and deliberation with Lady Luck, they both believed that the best option was to focus the secondary personality's attention on something else. This was still in the process of forming so influencing it to take another path was still plausible.
In turn, Lady Luck informed him that Ikemen Points were not necessarily obtained only from women.
As long as he had admiration, respect or affection from an individual he would receive Ikemen points.
Now that does not mean that it was not necessary to obtain them from women since being the opposite gender, obtaining their points would be easier.
It was just as he had originally planned, Tadano went out in search of people's attention. However instead of only charming girls to get points, he would charm everyone equally.
At first he began practicing the guitar in parks and squares, getting the attention of a small group of people at a time.
Him amassing a small amount of points with each performance.
He had changed his appearance to avoid being recognized.
And he had chosen to let himself go every time he made one of his appearances.
As the day went by his skills and fame grew.
He now being known as the wandering musician.
Many believed him to be a legend since he made the things he used appear and disappear and he always disappeared at the end of each presentation.
He learned this trick when he was doing some research on his space ring.
He discovered that he could take out or put away anything that was within a 5 meter range of him.
This was good as he implemented it into his act, gaining the interest of several people in the crowd and further increasing his Ikemen points.
Regarding Komi-San he was worried.
She had started ignoring him when he tried to talk to her during class and quickly ran away during lunch breaks and the end of school.
Agari offered to trick Komi-San into meeting me but I refused.
It was not necessary and this would create more harm than good. He didn't want to hurt Komi-San even more.
Once he was confident enough he would come back for her.
And I would apologize for all the trouble I have caused you.
Since then it's been 2 days and I feel very miserable every time I get back to normal after leaving the stage.
With turbulent thoughts and complex emotions I headed home. It was already late and I'm sure mom would be worried about my whereabouts.
When she turned a corner.
A calm and gentle voice called my name.
Voice: "Oh? Yes… it's not Tadano-Kun… Good… Evening"
The girl said in a slow and calm tone.
Oh she is.
*Ding*
