1.

Entrance ceremony banquet.

People are looking at the beautiful couple of Srenia and Kariel,

A rare love story is captured in a place filled with only teenage boys and girls.

I was also present at the banquet where a pleasant social gathering took place.

It wasn’t just me, Yuli was there too.

As a cleaner.

– Clang!!!

“Gyah!”

“Oh, sorry, are you okay?”

“Oh, oh, I’m fine, but your clothes are…”

this.

I heard the sound of glass breaking.

“Excuse me.”

A banquet enjoyed by still immature children.

A large number of faculty and staff are deployed to make that banquet happen.

Cooking, serving food, or cleaning in a restaurant.

I came here to clean.

A girl and a boy look at each other with puzzled faces, as if they bumped into each other without seeing each other.

He sneaks into the gap and sweeps away the broken glass with a broom.

As the pleasant squeaking sound continues, the traces of glass scattered on the floor disappear.

I was glad that the floor was clean and that the kids’ feet wouldn’t get hurt…

After finishing cleaning, I looked up and

“Ah, what’s your name…?”

“B, Virgin.”

“I’m sorry! I got my uniform dirty with the drink… Hey, take off your coat! I washed it…”

“There’s no need to do that!”

What the heck?

We were blushing at each other and taking lovey-dovey pictures, as if we didn’t even know each other.

There is a good reason why no one gives a glance when you sweep the children’s feet with a broom.

Our eyes are fixed on each other, and only the sound of my heartbeat resonates within my body, and the surrounding noise remains silent.

It’s not the same cliché.

The reason is that the children perceive me vaguely because of a spell called ‘Memory Fog’.

The efficacy is… in the rolling paper on the graduation day

‘Were you in my class?’ ‘Stop reading novels.’ ‘Speak up, lol.’ ‘Okay?’

It lowers its presence to the point where it only receives a lot of comments like this.

Even when I try to recall, it’s like my memory is completely foggy and I end up wondering, ‘Uh… what was that person’s name…’ or ‘what was that person’s face…’

Thanks to that, I can move around among the students even though I have a rather flashy appearance (for a janitor).

I cleaned it under the pretense of doing so… No, I cleaned it properly.

Anyway, I was able to confirm the faces of all the main characters while moving around among the students in complete indifference.

And since he was a male character with a somewhat ordinary appearance, I had a hard time remembering him.

The main character of Akama King was also confirmed.

If I were to describe the Akama King cover that I remember…

Ban, the main character of ‘A Man.’

He is a student with black hair and golden eyes.

A meaningful sign where the four heroines cover each other’s eyes, ears, and mouth and hold each other’s wrists.

The main character of ‘She Was Shedding Tears with Her Eyes Covered’ is Ignis.

The main character of ‘My ears were blocked’ is Srenya Ifkea.

The main character of ‘Covering My Mouth’ is Taina Schukeros.

The main character of ‘Holding My Wrist’ is Yuni.

These are the four heroines in Akama-Ou.

Ignis, a charming white-haired woman with golden eyes.

Srenia, a beautiful elf.

Taina, a descendant of Altina Shukeros, has the unique appearance of a member of the red fox clan.

Uni has purple hair and violet eyes.

You can see all the main characters in Akama King in one space.

Since the academy is divided into two departments, the Magic Department and the Sword Department, there won’t be many occasions where they all gather together after today.

Something will happen, and as their relationship continues, the story will progress with those five people at the center.

Hmm… I’m worried.

What should I do?

‘What are you doing? You’re not cleaning up.’

Yuli’s voice is transmitted into my head.

oh.

Now that I think about it, it’s still working hours.

While I was lost in thought, I came out to the garbage dump outside the banquet hall and was sweeping the area around it.

‘There’s no one around, so it’s okay to release the transformation, right?’

‘Oh. I guess it’ll be okay.’

In a split second, Yuli returned to her original form.

From the broom to her true form, her ego form.

As the transformation wore off, most of the pieces of trash disappeared… but they didn’t completely disappear, so there were still pieces of dust, including shards of glass, stuck in her hair.

Yuli frowned as if she was slightly offended, but she tried to look away as if she didn’t care.

“What have you been thinking about all this time?”

“Hmm, a secret?”

“…There’s something. Again.”

He looks at me with difficulty, his gaze raised despite his small stature.

really.

I’m telling you, a quick-witted kid is not very good.

“Say it.”

“Think about it.”

“Tell me.”

“Later.”

Yuli rested her head on his chest and hit her forehead against his chest, making a thud- thud- sound.

You’re just being a jerk.

“Say itSay itSay itSay itSay itSay itSay itSay itSay it!!!”

“…Sea cucumber and sea cucumber.”

I tried to ignore the gaze, squinting my eyes, and avoided answering with a cold joke.

That means it needs some thought.

Now that we have worked so hard to regain peace, shouldn’t we preserve it for this long and boring period?

He accepted Yuli’s complaint with a trembling expression.

I understand.

I understand.

…

…I banged my head for 10 minutes without getting tired at all.

After finishing a ten-minute, full-on, pseudo-monthly salaryman’s job, he starts urging me to go home.

As I walked along the night street, I looked at the back of her head as she walked ahead of me.

The shards of glass remained in the crevices of her silver hair, sparkling in the moonlight and starlight.

Although they are both among the strongest in the world, they won’t be hurt by shards of glass… but you have to cherish them as if you were taking care of a puppy.

He took an ivory comb out of his bosom and started combing her hair, keeping pace with her.

-Thump thump thump

-Swish, swish

-Tsk tsk, tsk

I walk down the night road without saying a word.

I can hear the sound of my hair squeaking as I comb it.

As the night deepens, the sound of cicadas chirping also becomes background music.

“Ouch, oh my!!!”

…You can also hear Yuli’s screams.

2.

“Ayaayaya!!!

A scream escaped my mouth without me knowing.

“Oh, my hair is tangled!”

Because I felt a strong pull from behind.

Man, this guy’s hair is always a problem.

Her hair was so tightly twisted that it almost peeled off her scalp.

It’s just so frustrating that the guy who’s pulling is someone I can’t even handle.

“Sorry. You know it wasn’t intentional, right?”

“…I think it could be possible.”

To be honest, it wasn’t intentional and it didn’t hurt that bad.

…But isn’t the pain that brings a tear to your eye even more sorrowful?

It was only as painful as tearing my little toe.

“Your hair looks really tangled today. Ugh…”

“I should have just picked up the glass shards with my own hands. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay! A broom is just a broom. Is it a golden broom? Use tools like tools. Don’t worry about it.”

I think it’s really bad when Kai tries to act discouraged.

So I grabbed Kai’s shoulders and intentionally pushed my head in, saying:

If you look at it one way, it could be said that he changed the subject.

“Keep combing my hair.”

“How can I comb it in this condition?”

“Yoroke.”

Extend the hand holding your shoulder a little further and wrap it around your neck.

Jump up with your legs so high that you can hear a popping sound, then wrap them around your waist.

He places his face next to Kai’s, burying his cheek in his shoulder so that it is out of sight.

He hugged me tightly and said.

“…Now I can walk and comb my hair without any problems, right?”

“Okay. There won’t be a problem.”

…

We head to our own cabin, further away from the Academy’s dormitories.

I enjoyed combing my hair while dangling… no, actually, I was more stable than an iron pillar.

When the sound of the comb rustling through my hair became familiar to my ears, I opened my mouth.

“…Caesar.”

“…Huh?”

In a soft voice, he speaks by his real name, not by his nickname.

Then she takes off her chest that was stuck together and looks Kai in the eye from the front.

Kai’s wide eyes were surprised at being called after such a long time, and he let out a small laugh.

“I know what you’re worried about these days. I also know that it’s a very serious and important concern for you.”

“…”

As if he had hit the nail on the head, he didn’t continue speaking and just listened silently.

ha.

I wish I was mistaken because I had concerns… but unfortunately, it seems to be true.

“I’m so curious and frustrated because I can’t even guess what you’re worried about now.”

“…”

“Why can’t I be a great strength to you? Am I still an insufficient being to you? How long do I have to stay by your side to know you all? It’s so regrettable and I feel guilty.”

Kai kept his mouth shut as if he had nothing to say.

ah.

I don’t like it.

I feel like I’ve just been a bigger burden.

It’s all my fault.

“…Sorry.”

“Don’t say sorry. I’m just sorry, ah…. ha, that’s not what I meant…”

I wonder why God didn’t give me the ability to speak.

It’s a regret I’ve always had since our first meeting.

After a moment of silence.

I hugged Kai tighter.

They hugged each other so tightly that it felt like they were going to break apart.

Even though he said I was like an iron pillar, he was able to hold me gently when I hugged him with strength.

“Just, just… I don’t care if you tell me or not. I’ll wait. Just know this. I’ll wait like I’m waiting for a gift that may or may not come, so it’s okay to worry about it.”

“Okay. Thanks, Yuli.”

Phew.

I feel a little relieved.

Even as we headed towards our own cabin, which had become closer without me noticing, I did not leave Kai’s arms.

“Huhh …

At the end, he buried his cheek in my neck and let out a pleasant nasal sound.

I hope I can spend my daily life with you tomorrow too.
