My OP Minion System in the Apocalypse
Chapter 190 For What Is The Reason? [Chloe]It was only a day ago when I met this random girl at a Japanese restaurant.
So tell me, why am I here playing cupid all of a sudden?
I'll give a brief recap of what happened the day prior. So after Yui saw the ideal boy of her dreams, she proceeded to beg me to bring them together. Now that came to quite a shock for me, because just hours before that, she was struggling to string together sentences with me. I'm not sure exactly how she will face when forced to speak to her crush, alone.

"When is he coming?" for someone so shy I was surprised she hadn't passed out at the thought of speaking to this boy yet. "In ten minutes." Now, I didn't come up with this plan, she did and although I saw many flaws with it, I couldn't be bother correcting them because at this point, she was so far out of it that there was literally nothing I could do. All hope rested on the slim possibility that pure stupidity of this idea would somehow lead to a miracle happening.
The two of us were brushed by a harsh morning wind. I had originally planned to do this in the afternoon but turns out the boy had plans, so now we're here, freezing on a bench as we waited for a catastrophe to occur. "Chloe, I'm cold." No, Yui, you actually don't get to complain, you were the one who dragged us out here and now you're complaining about the cold. Just moments prior when I first sat on the bench, I thought my legs were about to get frostbite, the bench was made of metal, instantly conducting all of the heat out of my thighs through my shorts.
I slowly pulled took off my runners and socks. The brief moment where my feet made contact with the wet grass, I thought I'd give up on life. I rested my feet on top of the rough sports bag that I had placed under the bench and pulled out my shin pads, soccer boots and socks. After strapping on the shin pads, I pulled my socks on, only to have them friction to the wet part of my feet, why... The whole ordeal took about five minutes before I had finally put on all of my soccer gear. Yui had put on a spare pain of boots that I had brought.
Now, the plan. Firstly, late last night, I sent her ideal boy a text message, 'Hey you want to practice soccer tomorrow?' I only did this for her out of pity and in retrospect, I regretted this decision. 'Sure' He replied, over text.
The proceeding conversation lasted a few more message where and I specified the details. Until this point, I'm pretty sure his name was Shin, although that might've been a nickname. The only other time we had ever spoken to each other was another event like this one where several people decided to do some soccer practice together. I was not surprised that Yui had fallen in love with him considering he was the exact type that she desired. He was popular, sociable and especially athletic, exactly what you'd find in a nice romance . Although, he did have some quirks that I had yet to tell Yui which I noticed after interacting with him for a little while.
He was incredibly petty, to the point where I sometimes thought he was a child, he especially seemed to take everything extremely seriously. We having a little practice match a few weeks ago and we were all just having fun, but he never budged on the rules, even picking up the ball and stopping the game if we didn't follow them to the letter. I found him quite annoying but honestly at this point I doubted that it'd even be a deal-breaker for her.
I looked over at Yui who was quivering from the cold. I didn't like the cold but it was never too bad as I had gotten pretty used to harsh cold, wet morning trainings like this. This girl however, looked like she had never played a sport in her life. I pulled out a fluffy white towel from my bag and wrapped it around her body. She looked over with a soft, "thanks". I could see our warm breaths being carried away by the wind, like little clouds of mist. The good thing about this weather was that no one else was also using the pitch, meaning we had it all to ourselves.
"That's nice, Yui, I'm Shin." He greeted her with a pretty vibrant smile which caused her to blush. This was going to be a difficult mission if all she did was hide behind me and observe him from a distance. Oh well, I was in the mood for some soccer, so I'd deal with this issue later.

If only I'd known that you... were Teru... this entire time.
I thought it was so weird that you'd just let me into your camp.
I guess you were a step in front of me this whole time...
William... or should I call you Teru.
Still, I don't really know; who really are you...?
