“Are you sure you brushed your teeth?”

“Yes~”

I showed my teeth with a bright smile as I answered Amy’s question.

My teeth were shining white, showing that I had brushed them diligently this morning.

“What about Shine?”

“Lee-”

Shine also showed this to Amy and got confirmation from her, just like me.

Amy nodded at our appearance and handed us the bag.

The bag, which was full and full, contained snacks for the day and the green juice that Amy had prepared since morning.

Shine and I put on our shoes and carried the bags Amy had given us.

The pretty black shoes sparkle in the light.

As I was putting on my shoes, there was a knocking sound outside the door.

The knocking sound made by her small hands was clearly Rain’s.

Jeff~ Shine~

Rain’s voice can be heard from outside the door.

I immediately opened the door wide.

There, Rain was smiling brightly, carrying a baby bag.

It seemed like he was ready to go to school.

There wasn’t a single wrinkle on her neatly folded uniform, and her teeth also sparkled like mine and Shine.

“Hello!”

“Hello!”

I greet Rain warmly and wait for Amy in the hallway.

Amy checked that Lane had arrived and left the room, putting on her coat.

“Is Rain ready?”

“Yeah!”

Lane wiggled her butt in response to Amy’s words.

Then the chick bag tied to her back flapped its wings.

“Can you do well today too?”

“Then!”

“You can see the kids well, right?”

“Of course!”

Amy smiled slightly at Lane’s strong answer and patted her head.

My school mornings usually start like this.

Before leaving for the office, I checked to see if I had missed anything.

His groping hands go into his pockets.

A few of Lucy’s commemorative coins, a small iron bar, a dinosaur rock, and some money to buy a cell phone and a lunch box.

The preparation was absolutely perfect.

“Jeff. Shine. Is today a school day?”

“Yes!”

As you walk down the hallway with Amy, people around you often stop by to talk to you.

Since everyone was so kind, Shine didn’t refuse.

I walked forward, answering the questions of the people around me diligently.

After arriving at the office, Amy began making various preparations.

Turn on the lights inside the office and connect the internet line.

After some simple preparations, she slipped out of the office again.

“Victor isn’t here.”

I muttered as I looked around the office.

Normally, Victor would have arrived before Amy, gotten ready, and then gone for his morning exercise.

But today, for some reason, there was no trace of Victor.

“Victor is on a business trip.”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“Yeah. I got something scheduled for this morning.”

“Bird, you’re going out at dawn too?”

“Yeah. I went out sometimes too, didn’t you know?”

I gaped at Amy’s words.

Since I have a hard time waking up once I fall asleep, I didn’t know she went out at dawn.

I just thought he’d wake up a little earlier than usual and go out.

“Sha, did you know about Shine?”

“Yeah. Amy said hello to me before she left.”

“Really?”

I looked at Amy, very surprised by Shine’s words.

Amy, who had been listening to my conversation with Shine, smiled slightly and patted my head.

“I tried to say hello to Jeff, but he wouldn’t wake up.”

“I really tried to wake you up?”

“How many times at first?”

I touched both cheeks after hearing Amy’s answer.

I didn’t feel it at all.

Maybe it was because I slept comfortably. Once I fell asleep, I rarely woke up.

Perhaps because he was in a deep sleep, he didn’t hear Amy’s voice waking him up.

“I didn’t know if someone carried me. I felt bad waking you up because you were sleeping so deeply.”

“Sha, what about Shine?”

“Shine just opened her eyes when I got out of bed?”

As I stared blankly at Shine with my mouth open, she looked at me and smiled strangely.

It was a satisfying smile, like the kind you make after eating something really, really delicious.

We headed straight to where the warp was.

The place where the warp leading to the school is created.

Once there, Amy wrote a message on her phone.

Then, shortly after, a large warp appeared before our eyes.

I swallowed dryly as I stared at the large, swaying circular space before my eyes.

I pass it every time I go to school, but I always thought it was a little scary.

“Do you all remember? I promised to apologize to Appleton when I got to school today.”

“Yes!”

I answered Amy’s words forcefully.

As she said, Shine, Lane, and I had to apologize to Appleton.

After Amy scolded us, she sat Shine and I down next to each other that evening and talked quietly.

What we did could have deeply hurt Appleton.

There was also a gift for her in the bag.

It’s not a health food.

It was a soft, sweet and very delicious gift.

A gift prepared by the donut company that is now my and Shine’s business.

It was a set of soft candy cloud donuts.

I muttered softly, fiddling with my bag.

“Will Appleton really forgive me?”

I was extremely worried.

But Shine seemed to have different thoughts from me.

After hearing my worries, she came to me with a small smile.

“It’s okay. Appleton will like your gift. And he’ll accept the apple.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. That’s what’s going to happen.”

Shine declared.

I tilted my head as I listened to her.

Shine would sometimes say things that were incomprehensible.

She would sometimes talk like that, as if she knew how the other person would react, as if she had to do it that way.

Then the other person really did act as Shine said.

When I asked Shine how she knew, she just gave a strange smile and didn’t answer.

“Really? I’ll believe it since it’s what Shine said.”

I nodded to Shine’s words and eased my worries.

Appleton will be delighted with my gift.

And he will most readily accept my apology.

It was obvious because Shine said so.

“I hope you all have a safe trip?”

“Yes!”

The worries are gone.

My voice began to naturally become excited, and my steps became lighter.

“I’ll go first!”

As always, Rain ran powerfully and threw himself into the warp.

Shine and I waved to Amy and entered the warp.

I always felt a slight dizziness when going through a warp.

A slightly staggering body and wavering gaze.

I straightened my center of gravity and stood up straight.

“Welcome.”

As we passed through the warp, Shandroi stood before us.

It seemed like he wasn’t busy today, since he came to see me himself without sending Carmel.

“Hello!”

“You look happy. Is something good happening?”

I nodded to her words.

The candy cloud donuts in the bag got me excited.

When I go to class, I have to eat with Appleton.

It’s really delicious, I’m sure Appleton would like it too. I’m sure he would.

We followed Shandroi straight out of the warp location.

Before anyone arrived, we had to act as if we had arrived at the school from outside.

Shandroy walked slowly down the hallway and began talking about the classes that would be held that day.

While we were having such a simple conversation, Shandroy told us about the swimming club we had joined.

“I heard you joined the swimming club.”

“Yes! I went swimming.”

“They say something strange happened on the day the girls enlisted…”

Shandroy trailed off as he spoke.

Shine, Rain, and I kept our mouths shut as we watched.

“Fortunately, I heard that no students were hurt. If possible, please refrain from using your powers within the school.”

I nodded to Shandroy’s words.

She looked at me nodding and added in a small voice.

“Unlike the girls, the students here have not received any professional training. Their tolerance to powers and physical abilities are average. So you should be careful.”

Shine Lane and I nodded to Shandroi’s words.

Then she smiled with satisfaction and said,

“That’s all for today. I hope you enjoy your school life today.”

This is how the morning conversation ended.

I waved goodbye to Shandroy and walked down the hallway to my classroom.

As I walked to class, I would hear the sound of tennis balls bouncing.

Just like right now.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of a ball and a racket hitting each other.

I unconsciously turned my head and looked out the window.

A little boy was kicking a tennis ball, moving his arms and legs vigorously.

Felix, a tennis boy who always practices hard.

But for some reason, I felt a surge of rejection.

“Ugh…”

“Why?”

As I frowned and clutched my chest, Shine, who was next to me, approached me and asked.

Instead of answering, I reached out and pointed to Felix.

Then a smile appeared on Shine’s face.

“Why? What’s wrong with him?”

“, it suddenly became difficult to look at.”

I didn’t care if it just passed by, but when I focused on the boy’s actions, a problem arose.

A feeling of inexplicable rejection slowly creeps in and grows stronger.

Eventually, I had no choice but to turn my head away, feeling an instinctive disgust, as if I had seen a bug with many legs.

“Really? Did you?”

“Yeah. That’s weird.”

“No, it’s not weird. It’s natural.”

I nodded with my mouth covered at Shine’s words.

It looked like the salad I had for breakfast was coming up.

“Calm down, Jeff. He’s far away, and he didn’t even notice us.”

“Yeah…”

Shine gently patted my back.

“Jeff, what’s wrong?”

Rain also patted my back like Shine.

Two small hands moved freely on my back.

“Just…just like that.”

“You looked happy just now, did you see a bug?”

I nodded to Rain’s words.

Yes, it felt like I saw a bug.

I’m sure I didn’t feel this way until recently.

As I shook my head and muttered softly, Shine grabbed my cheek.

“Ugh…”

“Jeff isn’t weird. That’s just how he is.”

“Originally… Is that how it was originally?”

“Yeah.”

“Then was Shine like this too?”

“Yeah. I’m the same as you.”

I nodded to Shine’s words.

After that, I slowly took a deep breath.

My heart began to calm down as Felix disappeared from my sight.

“Did you prepare the gift for Appleton well?”

“Yeah.”

I took a deep breath and answered Shine.

I didn’t forget and hid it tightly in my bag.

I checked several times before leaving the room.

I also made sure it was packaged sturdily so that its shape wouldn’t be damaged.

“Let’s go!”

I headed to the classroom, shouting loudly.

He forcefully opened the slightly open door and shouted loudly.

“Appleton~!”
