episode_0015

Albit and Lotta just watched Kara gobbling up the ice cream I brought with dumbfounded expressions.

“Tsk tsk tsk… Thank you, comrades! Tsk tsk tsk, I was on an empty stomach because something happened at school and I didn’t even get a meal ticket… ! Tsk tsk tsk. These classmates from the same school… Tsk tsk tsk. Every time I go to a street vendor, they get a kick out of the door! How can this be said to be the affection of a school like this!”

“Okay, so shut your mouth and eat. That looks very vulgar.”

“Tsk tsk, I understand!”

“Oh, really… ”

Lotta eventually turned his head as he got tired of Kara’s distracted appearance, constantly opening her mouth while holding ice cream in both hands and eating it.

Jjongkeot

Jjongkeot

But her orange cat ears still picked up the irritating yowling sound, which kept them moving as if she were shaking off dust.

Albit spoke in a depressed voice as he watched the scene.

“I thought he was a suspicious guy, but he was just a troublemaker at school… No, since he said he was about to be expelled, he must be a suspicious guy… ?”

“It’s nice to see that, but―☆”

“At first, I thought it was acting… You look really hungry.”

“It’s a good thing I got ice cream from outside just in case―☆”

After hearing my words, Albit turned around.

The ice cream that I spilled on my head to act like a fool was washed off under the tap, and the moisture was blown away with ether.

Thanks to that, my pink hair was soft and dry again.

“… ”

Arbit’s gaze somehow felt like he was looking at his young daughter, a troublemaker who had succeeded in washing up on her own. Then, with a proud smile, he patted my head and said,

Swish swish

“You did a good job on your own.”

“Ahaha… ”

It’s great.

It’s great.

Hands moving above the head.

‘I acted foolishly in front of Arbit… Did you become that kind of image in just one week? Although it is self-employed… Something… Something… ‘

Can this be said to be the image of a senior and junior who are two years apart?

A subtle feeling mixed with guilt and tickling.

If you look at the age difference including her previous life, she is a girl who is barely older than my daughter.

It was a really strange feeling to receive compliments and pats from her saying that she was really proud of me after washing up on my own.

Albit laughed and was struck by that subtle feeling.

“Hehe, I was worried that my senior would be depressed alone in his room.”

“… Tsk.”

It’s great.

It’s great.

The hands of a sincere girl with short hair.

As expected from a prosecutor, his hands were rough and calloused.

The feel of thin, delicately stretched fingernails.

Every time I stroked it, the softness of the white wrist that gently grazed my ear was extremely gentle.

“… ”

White, slender arms that can be seen at a glance through the long sleeves of the school uniform, and dark eyebrows that are clearly visible even under the brown bob.

When I realized it again, I realized that I looked really neat.

‘I didn’t know because I was always crying or laughing mischievously.’

… what.

It’s surprising.

Although it is surprising.

A character in the game, a junior to protect, and a warrior who will one day save the world. It was only now that I realized that Arbit, whom I had only seen so much, actually existed in front of me. And the fact that such a girl was treating me kindly with kind eyes felt unfamiliar. lost

The tingle of daily life that I couldn’t feel with Hilde and other fighting friends.

It was an unknown world that existed beyond the rules of the game.

‘As if the real ‘Hilde’ was there… The real ‘Albit’ is here.’

Not the junior that Clara was waiting for.

He is not the protagonist I was waiting for as a man.

Just a sincere girl named Arbit.

Somehow, I felt like I was finally becoming aware of that fact.

This was not our first meeting, and the road ahead would be infinitely longer. Somehow, at this moment, I felt like I was meeting a girl named ‘Albit’ for the first time.

“… ”

Albit is weak enough that I can beat him with one hand right now.

Is the reason why he doesn’t avoid her touch because he is determined to act as the weak side and protect his juniors behind the scenes?

Or is it because of the heart of a girl who remained in the pretty filter and struggled with loneliness for a long time?

“… ”

I couldn’t tell because it was all about ‘Clara’.

‘After acting like a fool, have I really become a fool?’

fortunately.

Albit soon stopped patting and spoke.

“Senior, have you been taking a walk outside so far?”

In “? uh! Yes, that’s right―☆ I took a quick shower in my room and went out to look around☆ I was worried that I had dropped the ice cream earlier, so I tried to bring it back! Yes―☆ Truly a girl’s consideration☆ But coming back to the dorm like this… ”

“Yes, that guy was there.”

We turned our heads again and saw the guy devouring the ice cream.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk

A tall female student wearing oil-smelling work clothes over her school uniform, as expected from . She was sitting on the floor, inhaling ice cream, not caring about the dust and dirt on her long navy blue hair.

“Tsk tsk tsk… !”

It was desperately clenching its mouth like a hamster, as if it really had no chance to eat now. The sight of him so hastily scooping up ice cream was somewhat pitiful.

‘If you look closely, the school uniform is already worn and it smells a bit… ‘That’s harsh.’

Kara had the smell of a rain-soaked poncho, as if she hadn’t washed in several days.

According to Maya, she was ostracized even among new students because of her unique eccentricity. He said that he was frowned upon by the seniors who ran the school facilities, and was eventually forced to live a self-sufficient life on his own.

‘How much of a fuss was made that it only lasted a week… ‘

As one of the main characters in the game.

She was tall like a model and could be called a cool-looking girl…

“Keueook—! Enjoy your meal! Comrades! Hmm hahaha-!!”

“… ”

“… ”

“… ”

That boorish and distracting behavior really shattered all impressions.

“In this situation! Giving food away! That mercy! A truly revolutionary feeling! I am happy for you! As comrades with the same intentions! I’ll admit it! Hahaha!!”

“… ”

“… ”

“Wow☆”

Kara speaks while constantly moving her arms and hands and bobbing her head back and forth each time she emphasizes her words.

The bustling gestures and facial expressions, which could not be known from the voice actor’s acting or text in the game, were more burdensome than I imagined.

‘You may not be worthy of a face like that.’

If she had been born in a modern society like my previous life, I thought she would have probably become a worthless Internet broadcaster or comedian.

I spoke to her instead of Albit and Lotta, who were tired of the momentum and remained silent.

“So―☆ I wonder why they tried to plant a bomb☆tank in the dormitory for outsiders~♡ Depending on the answer, a tea party for cute girls may begin… Or maybe I could become a girl with a strong reporting spirit☆”

“Oh… ! yes! I haven’t explained that yet!”

Jump up

When Kara heard those words, she suddenly stood up from her seat.

Perhaps because his legs are longer, his height has increased dramatically compared to when he was sitting.

He was at least a head taller than anyone else in the room.

‘I think it’s bigger than my previous life… Almost 180cm… ? Or is it a little bigger?’

Clara’s height, which I measured when she was alone, was approximately 160cm, so there seemed to be a difference to that extent. In particular, Lotta, who was the smallest among us, was able to look lower than his chest.

“… !”

“… !”

We are the ones surrounding Kara, but the height difference makes us unconsciously wary.

He slowly spreads his hands and approaches me. Because of that, I could feel Albit and Rota each holding the sword and wand handles at their waists, worried about what harm he might do to me.

‘It doesn’t matter because it all feels like a sign anyway… ‘Thank you.’

Kara came right in front of me with both hands outstretched and shouted loudly.

“I even went to the dormitory on the outskirts of here!! The one who brought the firecrackers!! To prepare for the final revolution that hopes for freedom and joy for everyone!!”

“Now, freedom… ?”

“Joy?”

“Wow―☆ It’s romantic♡ I think the kids in the leadership group will enjoy hearing it―☆”

“Now, just wait a moment—! I will explain in detail!!”

＊

Kara was adopted and raised in a free craftsman’s village.

She was naturally dexterous and interested in etheric magic engineering, so she entered .

But what I saw here was somehow strange.

Seniors always just repeated instructions and orders.

My classmates carried out their work as if it were natural and without any complaints.

Even dwarves take the orders given to them for granted.

No one doubts their place.

Rather, I am proud to belong here.

There is greater joy in bragging about the group rather than oneself.

There were no students sitting under the shade of the trees, being lazy, or complaining that the lunch was not tasty.

Like parts that exist to move a huge machine.

The movement of the machine called is taken ‘for granted’.

And at the top of the machine was a pilot named the student council president.

then.

Just one person leading a huge machine.

If you move the machine in the wrong direction amidst everyone’s ‘obviousness’.

What on earth is going to happen?

Kara thought.

Some people are not taking this for granted, and just knowing that fact will be a big warning.

“So, we need chaos and revolution!! Those who stand at the top should not accept ‘obviousness’ as ‘obviousness’, but should realize that it is a ‘promise’ made under ‘everyone’s will’!! For that purpose, I will criticize and point out things like school lunches, classes, factories, and anything else!!”

“… ”

“… ”

“… ”

“If at least one person knows that there is dissatisfaction with the current system, then that hateful ‘obviousness’ will disappear!! All students are equal!! It’s not about living according to someone else’s intentions!! Because you have the right to be happy yourself―!!”

Kara’s frantic cries as if she were possessed by something.

Lothar muttered while holding his head, his cat ears drooping.

“That… I know what you mean… But there are many logical leaps… I’m not just saying that the kids who go to this school have a good sense of unity… ? No, they said they liked it in the first place, right? It’s a nuisance to people who live happily and well… ”

Albit also spoke with a shocked expression.

“I think it’s better than a shabby machine with nothing because I’m poor.”

“Dehet―☆”

“Don’t do that, senior.”

I pressed Arbit’s cheek as he looked at me dissatisfied, but I hid my surprise when I heard Kara’s true feelings, which did not appear in the game.

‘It wasn’t just a thoughtless revolutionary drip.’

Since it was simply a comedy character, I thought it would be a source of laughter that took advantage of the characteristics of , an industrial city. Although there were many logical leaps and distortions, it was a conclusion reached after deep thought and observation.

“… ”

Actually, I couldn’t say whether Kara’s thoughts were right or wrong.

‘To put it bluntly, it’s just one of those idealistic theories.’

It’s just a personal belief.

This was because she also made noises without considering the will and situation of others.

But one thing is certain in the current situation.

Kara’s idea was that it was the perfect justification for carrying out Maya’s request to stop the arbitrary choices of student council president Skadi and hardliners.

“… ”

In the game, Kara’s revolution failed, and in the end, it was just a justification for expulsion from the student council president. Nevertheless, she smiled and said that she had done her part.

『You could say that my revolution towards was complete at that moment!!』

But somehow that smile was empty.

‘Kara is still expelled from school anyway, and it’s a given that she ends up coming to our school.’

Distracted.

Exaggerated.

Although I had a vain dream.

At least until the moment I leave here.

I hope you can leave with a smile on your face.

I said with that thought in my heart.

“Wow―☆ It’s a really cool dream☆ It’s very romantic and fairytale-like… It’s a dream that makes me want to cheer without even realizing it―☆”

In “?”

“Senior―?!”

While Albit and Lotta were surprised.

I walked towards Kara, who heard me and opened her eyes wide.

He then takes her hand and holds the item that Maya handed over.

“You know—☆ While taking a walk, I had a fateful, girlish intuition! I heard about it☆ I picked up something like this. I wonder if you can tell me what it is~”

“… !”

Kara stared at the metal key, which was about the size of a hand. Then he read the serial number written on it and looked at me for a moment in disbelief. He said in a trembling voice.

“This, this… A warehouse containing new inventions that the was planning to announce this time… Just the key… Where on earth… ? It’s a place where only third-year executives can enter… ”

“Wow, lucky―☆ Then, shall we draw attention with that?”

“… !”

A carefree voice.

But the content is shocking.

“Senior?!”

“Senior?!”

Even Albit and Lotta scream in shock.

“Dehet―☆”

I just laughed.

‘Maya, don’t regret entrusting the job to me and Kara. From now on, I will cause as much trouble as possible.’

So, let’s get started.

Not a hideous declaration of war, but a real freshman welcoming party.

It’s festival time.
