Until the last day of the new student welcome party.

There was no sudden narrowing of the investigation net of the leading department.

The third graders at did not mention anything about the resolution ceremony and continued the welcome party for new students as scheduled. And the student council of , including student council president Skadi, was completely silent.

-How is it! An airship that combines the technology of our ! This amazing vehicle breaks through all the etheric resistance in the sky, and even ordinary people can fly it!

-Amazing!

The general students treated the first night’s commotion as one of the secretly planned events. This was because the scale of damage was not particularly large compared to the chaos that occurred.

‘Well, Kara’s summoned robot parked the airship safely. The only thing we took was cheap props that we had collected for the event.’

Rather, the strange thing happened to the second-year students who were the main players in preparing for the event.

-senior! Let’s hold a different event this time!

-I have become friends with students from other schools, and they invite me to play with them too~

-Well, well… ?! No wait! As planned… !

-What do you think? It’s a festival that we should enjoy!

As if they wanted to be rewarded for their dedication over the past year, many second-year students began to engage in small deviations by declaring a festival. The freshmen who had just entered the school were just confused and followed the second graders and participated in the deviation.

Memories of ‘special’ moments found in the ‘obvious’.

Second graders who keep all the memories of the past and that night.

The events they will create from now on may be slightly different from the direction that has taken so far.

The atmosphere is a little different from last year.

We quietly walked around the streets for the remainder of our schedule and enjoyed the new student welcome event.

Although we were worried that someone might recognize us, it was fun to go around and see various events among the crowds of people.

Finally this morning.

The event has all been concluded.

Many outside students who visited were preparing to return to their schools.

A dormitory hallway exclusively for outsiders.

The sound of busy footsteps echoing from there.

The sound of numerous students packing up their luggage.

-Hey, our student is in that room… hey!! You said you’d be back by morning!

-ah… Why are you yelling? Right guys?

-Cook, cluck… What are you saying…

-If you like the school next door, go there. There will be no see-off.

-Wow, traitor~ Go transfer to another school~

Many students from Academy City have become friends beyond the barrier of school. Their voices were cracked from the shouts they had made over the two nights.

“… ”

I was lying on the bed in the room assigned to the group, listening to all the sounds echoing through the wide dormitory hallway. And for some reason, I was filled with complicated feelings.

‘It wouldn’t have been like this originally.’

The original story.

An event that turned into a resolution ceremony for , claiming withdrawal from the union.

It is said that students outside who sensed the sinister atmosphere were simply terrified.

‘But it has changed.’

By getting involved, we were able to postpone the main cause of the game’s being put into a miserable state from the beginning of the main story.

It was thanks to the intervention of the .

‘I’m curious about how the story has changed.’

The student council meeting continued even after the mediator of the returned on the first night.

Maya, whom I secretly visited at night, spoke without taking her eyes off the documents, as if she was annoyed.

-It looks like you’ll be busy for a while, so I’ll tell you all at once, so please come to the manager’s office on the morning of the last day. [Nasun]

-Oh wow-☆ Maya is returning to student council work… Wasn’t she a lonely girl who was bullied?

-The sense of resolution has also collapsed… Now, it is meaningless to say whether you opposed something that has passed or not. I’m used to Skadi’s method now.

That day, Maya, like Zhuge Liang, who forced Liu Bei to use the three sets of regret, exhaustion, and obsession three times, requested a third visit from me and issued an order to congratulate me.

So I had a leisurely second day, and was now trying to figure out the appointment time.

‘I have to go soon… ‘

sense…

I glanced at Lothar out of the corner of my eye.

She was in the middle of combing her hair while looking in the mirror. The orange hair that flowed like a waterfall over her dwarf shoulders had a lavender scent.

Upright

Upright

Unlike the poor , you can enjoy the comfort of a shower room and toiletries assigned to each room. Two fluffy cat ears were constantly prickling, emitting scent throughout the room.

“Hmm… Hmm―”

Rota is in a very good mood. Instead of the original trademark twin tails, she braided her long orange hair to the side. They were humming the music that rang throughout the festival.

‘If you think about it, Lotta originally came from a rich school.’

I wasn’t conscious of it because R-Bit usually emphasizes neatness. Among us, Lotta seemed to be the one who was most satisfied with staying in the dormitory for outsiders only.

‘Albit said he would take a look around the neighborhood one last time… ‘

I was about to get up and go out for a walk.

Suddenly—!

A large man with navy blue hair burst into the room.

“Hahahaha!! Comrades!! I’ve been there―!!”

“… Phew. I told you not to open the door without knocking because it’s so vulgar, right?”

“What is politeness among comrades?”

“What would have happened if I had at least changed my clothes?”

“Is it embarrassing for the same women to be together?”

“Still, there should be at least some consideration.”

I felt a pang inside.

In fact, seeing ‘Clara’s body’ and doing physical activities had been my daily routine for several years, so I was embarrassed and had nothing to do. I didn’t want to apply that familiarity to other children.

So, whenever Arbit or Lotta took off their clothes without hesitation in front of me, I made up all sorts of excuses to sneak out.

‘Well, I don’t think it’s particularly strange that privacy is sensitive.’

My juniors, who did not know my true feelings, continued to argue.

“Consideration means distance! Aren’t we the comrades who completed the revolution last night? Don’t say such sad things!”

“I don’t think it’s something to say proudly with the door open.”

“Comrade Rota! Are you ashamed of the revolution―?!”

“I’m ashamed of you.”

Lotta scolded her while still elegantly combing her hair. But to our revolutionary warrior, such trivial quibbles were not even a concern.

“Hahahaha, I see. Then there is nothing we can do!! Oh my!! I brought documents to show to my senior comrade!!”

Kara closed the door, strode towards me again, and handed me a document. The document contained information about applying for withdrawal.

“With this, the relationship between me and has ended. After watching the sparks of countless revolutions, I realized that there was no need for any more revolutions here.”

Kara declared reassuringly with a smile like a lighthouse.

Dropping out, not expulsion.

It’s a very minor difference.

It’s not that he was kicked out, but that he ended up fixing it himself.

One of the regrets that will remain in Kara’s life from now on has disappeared.

I gave it my pure blessing.

“Wow―☆ Then Kara is free now! Truly a wandering girl―☆ Leaving of her own will! It’s so romantic!!”

“Hehe, that’s why. I have something to say to my senior comrade about that.”

“Huh? Which one? Is there a girl’s secret―☆”

Actually, I thought I knew what it was about.

I pretended not to notice and listened to her story.

Kara said while scratching her cheek, looking a little embarrassed.

“… I heard that is a small school. that… I want to be in the same place as you all. If I were to join those who followed me even in my unreasonable revolution… I think I can achieve it even if I have a bigger goal.”

“Yes! I totally agree―☆”

“Esss—?!”

“Huhuhu… I feel reassured by the permission of my senior, the student council president.”

Rattling-

The sound of a wooden comb falling.

And what you see is.

Like the cat in a photo I saw on the Internet.

Lotta’s shocked expression as he turns around with his mouth wide open.

In front of him, Kara was truly happy about receiving my permission.

“Huhuhu… ”

“But there’s one thing I’m mistaken about―☆”

“… ?”

“… ?”

I corrected her on one mistake.

“I am not the student council president… The student council president of is Albitya―☆”

“What, what?!”

In “? uh? Really?!”

The shocked expressions of the two girls.

Suddenly

And another visit.

“Phew… I’ve been there… huh? Kara?”

Although I knew it by sight.

They say even tigers will come if you call them.

Albit was puzzled when he saw the two eyes focused on him in an instant.

“… ”

“… ”

“What’s going on? Why are you suddenly looking at me without saying a word?”

Kara approached Arbit and shouted loudly.

“Comrade Student Council President—! Please allow my admission!!”

“What? What?! Why am I on the student council… !”

“No!! Albit no!! If a noisy guy like that enters , there won’t be a quiet day!”

“ha? what? W-what do you mean, take it slow first… !”

“Comrade Student Council President—! Please be lenient even if you don’t like my past actions! I have nowhere else to go!!”

“So what does that mean… !”

“Albeat!!”

“Student President Comrade!!”

Kara and Lotta talk about their personal circumstances surrounding Arbit.

While they were talking frantically, I sneaked out through the open door.

＊

Maya’s face turned haggard in just two days.

“… Phew.”

I said while looking at Maya who was staring blankly in this direction.

“Wow, wow―☆ What an impressive impression☆”

“… what. A lot of things happened.”

Gulp…

Maya seemed to not have the energy to pour the drink into a flask, so she picked up the bottle of energy drink on the iron table and drank it.

It really seems to embody the concept of ‘tiredness’.

I was somewhat worried, so I asked cautiously.

“What on earth happened to make that happen?☆”

“Phew… The student president of came to visit me in person.”

“… !”

Hilde.

she came

Maya calmly and briefly explained what had happened.

Hilde’s sudden visit.

, which seeks to prevent war.

And the proposal they gave.

“… Well, after that incident, it was eventually decided that non-fighting students from and would be stationed at the site of under the pretext of monitoring the Eastern Alliance and the slums.◦ #◦

“… ”

and .

News of their presence, who are almost like Hilde’s direct subordinates.

In fact, was treated as a subdivision of the .

I felt sad that had been reduced to the territory of the .

“… ”

“… what. What can I do? Independent war and alliance with the slums were illusions, we need to look at reality. It seems like Skadi was also a bit annoyed by the executives this time.”

Maya said that, closed her eyes and completely surrendered herself to the chair.

“… That’s how it happened.”

“… ”

She was silent for a moment, then opened one eye and spoke.

“… ah. right. And two wishes. Please give me something suitable.”

“… Yes☆”

I handed over the two requirements I had written down on paper.

Maya, who read it, still smiled with a tired expression.

“… Considering that it borrows the power of the [Pink Spiral], it’s cheap. Since this is a matter that can be handled by the , I will send it to you at the appropriate time.”

“Yes―☆ Then, since my juniors are waiting, I’ll go☆”

“Uh.”

Maya sank back into her chair and waved her hand.

I tried to leave her office, leaving Maya behind.

“[helix].”

“Huh?”

“Are you happy now?”

“… ”

What does it mean?

I looked back again at that question.

Maya completely surrendered herself to the chair and closed her eyes.

I somehow felt like I intuitively knew the meaning of that question.

I said exactly the answer that came to mind.

“… Yes.”

“… Is that so.”

“… ”

“Goodbye. Thank you for your help.”

Swish

Maya is tired as always.

He waved his hand moderately and saw me off.

I left her office like that.

Now that the trip was over, it was time to return home with my juniors.

＊

Train returning to .

The place was full of cold silence.

Since there were only two people sitting to begin with, it was natural that it would be quiet.

A silver-haired girl who didn’t move while her eyes were fixed on the window.

A black-haired girl who was roughly reading numerous documents with a playful gesture.

The sense of intimidation emanating from one of them added weight to the silence.

“… ”

“… ”

“… Bell.”

“Yes~ Boss.”

“Command the stationing operation of .”

“Yes~ Yes~ I understand… ”

“and.”

“… ?”

Brunhild spoke with his eyes still fixed on the window.

“… Investigate yourself.”
