Enchanting Potential (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun)

First Love Memories

"The scene where they confess their feelings under the cherry blossom tree is fantastic. That brings Rin-chan and Kakeru so much closer." He commented and she nodded. 

"You two can read that book?" She questioned. 

"Of course."

"That's right. Though, I never expect it to be here in the Netherworld." 

"Yeah, why is it doing here?"

Hayami looked at Ameri with a raised brow. "Is this your doing? Do you keep a stack of these here, darling?" When he realized what he said and she questioned the demon about it, he froze then covered her mouth while inwardly repeating sorry about this abrasive behaviour. In contrast, Hayami did not mind it. She didn't really care. "Er, I mean, wh...we mean..."

They noticed she had twinkling in her eyes upon learning they can read it. "So! You and you! Can! Read! It! Then?!" She asked in between stops. 

"Y-Yes." He answered and she merely nodded her head again since Iruma had not taken his hands away from her mouth. 

"Th-Then what does this say?" She inquired, holding out the specific pane in the chapter. "I-I'm the transfer student, Aozora Kakeru." 

"And this?" 

"Badump, badump." 

"And this?" 

"Squee, squee." Hayami uncovered her mouth to say the last part. 

She got into their faces "You're coming with me!" She told them. She grabbed them by the scruff of their collars and then dragged them off. 

'O-O-O-Oh, no! Did she figure I am human? What the heck is going to happen to us?!' However, contrary to his thoughts, three cups of hell gray tea, sweets, and finger foods were on the plates and they stood between the table with the book in his hand. Ameri sat down, one leg cross on top of the other. "Um, is this..." 

"....please..."

"Huh?"

"Repeat that, darling. We can't hear you." 

"R-Read it out loud, please." She spoke up. 

"Read it out loud? You mean First Love Memories?" Iruma asked. 

"Y-Yes." 

'Of course. I guess demons can't read human language.' He tilted his head down in worry. 'But if I read this, she'll figure out I'm human for sure.'

'Th-this is just for confirmation! I'm just confirming that they're humans! It's not like I'm actually interested in the texts!' She denied with a flustered face. When in fact, she does want them to read it to her so she can understand more clearly what is happening. "H-Hurry!! Hurry up and read!" 

"Okay." Iruma was unable to decline requests whereas Hayami naturally went along with it. There was nothing wrong to read this manga book to her. "Let's see. He looked at the book briefly then gently nudged her arm for her to start with the girl part. She quickly took a peek too then spoke. "Oh, no! I'm going to be late! I'm Hoshino Rin (16). I'm currently running late for school!" 

'I see! So that's what that said!' She thought, starting to get engrossed in the translations. "Continue!" 

"Okay! I can't believe I'm late for the first day of the new semester." Time passed as they continued to read the manga, more like role-played the manga, out for Ameri. At first, she was hesitant to act out some parts, but Iruma persuaded her and so she acted out with him too so there is more of a visual effect for her. 

"Could you show me around town?" 

"Badump! Is he asking me out on a date?!"

"Wait!"Ameri interrupted.
