__Part 2__
to Part 1; to Part 3
I win the first round with little difficulty.
I was worried that she would be in bad shape, but she looks fine.
Is it because of her youth?
''Are you okay?''
''Yes, I'm fine.''
''Don't hesitate to tell me if you want to stop.''
....................................
..............................................
''What? Do I have something sticking on my face?''
''Yes. Eyes, nose, mouth...''
''...Don't tell such an ancient joke with such a serious face, please.''
''I- I'm sorry!''
''...Are you angry?''
''...No.''
''...Mr. Jango, you're such a kind person.''
''What?''
''Because, even though you asked me if I were prepared, you're still worried about me.''
''......I'm not a kind person.''
''.................................................''
''I'm just sly.''
''No you're not!''
I was surprised at her intensity.
Oblivious to my confusion, the girl continues to speak.
''Mr. Jango, you just don't realize your true heart.''
W- What? Did she come here to convert me to a new religion?
''Mr. Jango, you really are very kind. When you saved my life...''
''What?''
''Er...''
The girl's face turns panicky and she quickly stops talking.
''Saved your life...?''
I've never seen her before.
''.....................................''
''Have I met you before?''
''No you haven't...hehehe...''
''No you haven't...hehehe...??''
''It was nothing. Please forget about it.''
''B- But...''
''Let's continue with the next part of the game. Ready!''
I took her in the second round, too.
''Are you okay?''
''Yes, I'm fine.''
''You don't look it, but you're very tough.''
''Really?''
It can't be...did my mahjong skills get weaker or something?
In reality, my mahjong skills are increased by the presence of Kumi, my Shikigami. Without her here, my abilities are not that special...
But my mahjong skills are still good enough to beat this young woman...
And...
I wonder...I keep getting a strange feeling while I was playing mahjong with her.
Because of the serious nature of the game, the atmosphere should be pretty tense...but to me, it feels just like being at home...
Why am I so relaxed?
No, maybe I'm thinking too much. She probably has a lot of energy because of her youth.
She's also an amateur, so there wasn't that much seriousness. That must be it..
''Yes?''
''N- Nothing.''
I seem to have said what I was thinking out loud without meaning to.
''Hey...''
''Yes, what is it?''
''This is the first time we've met, right?''
''Yes it is...''
''That's right...''
''Is something wrong?''
''No...''
''.............................''
''About what you said, about me saving your life...''
''Okay, let's go on to the next part. Ready!''
I took her the third round, too.
''Ahaha...I lost the game...''
This girl...why is she so happy after she lost the game?
''Mr. Jango, you are a very good mahjong player.''
''...Well, I am a professional.''
''Mr. Jango, you're great.''
''Thank you.''
Okay, I'll accept her praises obediently.
However...she is such a strange girl... She plays mahjong with me without giving a reason ...she looks happy and full of energy even after she lost the game...this is the first time we've met, but I keep getting the feeling that we know each other...
''.................................''
Could it be...?
''Is something wrong?''
''I've got it!''
''Yes??''
''I've figured it out. You can stop pretending.''
''Eh?''
''Don't try to look stupid. Kumi, that's you isn't it?''
''..............!!''
''....Ahaha.''
''It seems that I guessed right, didn't I?''
''...Since you found out, there's nothing I can do...''
''I'll dispel the transformation.''
