It is going to be months before this chapter goes live (it's from the sequel to Re:Apotheosis), but here's Daiki Yamato being called out on his BS by a schoolgirl...
“You said that you’re a second year biology student at Osaka University,” Natsuke said. “And aside from your name, I think that is the only true thing you have told me since you got here.”
Daiki stiffened.
“No more lies,” Natsuke demanded. “Why are you here?”
“I told you, I was in town for a cosplay event, and I lost my belongings,” Daiki said.
“A cosplay event hosted by the Japanese army?” Natsuke said. “I thought they were more into guns and tanks.”
“You’d be surprised,” Daiki said.
“I think I would,” Natsuke said. “And having come away from this cosplay event, and discovering that the only thing you were had to your name was your costume, you walked all the way across Tokyo to a private school.”
“I was having a bad day.”
“At which point you borrowed my phone and discovered that the Japanese army had never heard of you or this Major Atria Silversword person. And then, you spent the entire day hanging out with us, without once trying to borrow so much as a single Yen to get home, despite my repeatedly mentioning that you had lost your wallet. And then you spent the night here.”
“I know what this looks like, and–”
Natsuke frowned. “It looks like you’re a terrible liar. I was calling myself ‘Detective Natsuke’ in front of you all day yesterday. Did you really think I wasn’t on to you, or trying to tell you as much?”
Daiki sat up. He regretted what came out of his mouth as soon as he said it. “Maybe I’m just secretly a lolicon.”
Natsuke grinned and said, “Really!” Then she started unbuttoning her top, revealing the swell of her breasts underneath. Daiki looked away.
“Either ‘lolicon’ doesn’t mean what you think it means, or you’re the most incompetent lolicon in history,” Natsuke stated. “Don’t worry, I’ve put the big bad breasts away.”
Anything else would be too much of a spoiler.
