Aloof King and Cool (Acting) Queen - Chapter 9

9. Parallel World Love Circumstance

“It’s delicious!” Urie said as he ate a sweet rolled omelette.

As promised, he gave me a string to tie my hair.

It’s different from my original world’s rubber band, but it definitely can gather my hair together.

I can see Urie’s good sense as I expected from the blue gem attached to the hair-tie.

I was sufficiently pleased and used it everyday, but everyone in the garden teased me about it.

“Oh, Haruto! Don’t use something so cute! Are you really a man!?”

“I already said I’m a man!!”

It had been the usual flow of things for me to answer like that and for everyone to laugh together afterwards.

I think I am now considerably familiar with this world.

It would be a lie if I said that I do not love my previous way of living. However, my acquaintances gradually increased and my everyday smiles have not ceased.

Now that I personally experienced living in this world, I think that it’s not really that bad.

Then something happened around that time.

I have come across two men kissing in the garden corner.

I was completely shaken, and Alex called out my strange behavior.

There’s no use worrying about it alone so I decided to obediently tell him.

“Uhm, is homosexuality common in this country?”

Even though I summoned my courage and inquired that, Alex only looked at me blankly.

“What are you talking about? Same-sex marriage is common, y’know? Well, I still like girls though,” he casually declared.

This time, I was the one left dumbfounded.
