episode_0019

I opened my eyes to a sudden presence.

As soon as I open my eyes, what I see is a fist coming towards me.

I catch the attack before it reaches me.

chin-!!

An attack that was blocked in vain.

However, since it was not a proper attack from the beginning, the opponent retrieved his fist again without hesitation. Then he brought his fist to his stomach and started scratching it.

“… ”

“Cool… hmm… ”

The opponent was Kara.

Kara was still sleeping soundly.

Without even realizing that his attack was blocked, he makes a gurgling sound with his mouth.

And the red training uniform from that she wore instead of her pajamas was tossing and turning until it was all wrinkled.

“Hmm… ”

He’s over 180cm tall and has a huge revolutionary pouch that rises and falls in sync with his breathing. It was proof of the Peach Sisters’ best physical strength in the game. Now it was just a bunch of collisions that caused numerous traffic accidents.

I sighed a little while looking at that.

‘Your sleeping habits are really bad.’

Even so, the big guy had terrible sleeping habits, so I was in awe. I thought I’d gotten used to it over the past week, but I’m starting to seriously consider tying him in a blanket before going to bed.

I looked at him with the intention of tying him up if he made a fuss one more time, but from then on he just quietly scratched his stomach.

“… ”

“Grumbling―”

Buck, buck, buck.

“… ”

“Seu… ”

Beyond the sound of a huge troublemaker scratching his stomach, I can feel the presence of two people sleeping.

A deep breathing sound made while pricking one’s ears.

The sound of breathing in a corner, covered with a blanket over one’s head.

“Seu… S… ”

“Umm.”

As I look at it, recognizing the sound of breathing, my vision quickly adapts to the darkness. Then, in the dim early morning moonlight, three female students can be seen sleeping in a narrow room.

“Seu… ”

“Cool… ”

The sight of the girls sleeping in a small room huddled together with messy blankets wrapped around their bodies was somewhat pathetic. To be honest, I look like a refugee from a disaster situation I saw on the news in my past life.

‘If you think about it, we are still taking refuge in our own way.’

This is a narrow room provided by Grandpa Hwata, a repair shop in the shopping district. The reason we have been staying in this small room for a week is because of major renovation work at .

『First wish.』

『Repair of old facilities of .』

One of the two wishes I asked Maya for. The construction work was in full swing by the members of the Facilities Engineering Department who had come for the project.

It had been three days since the new student welcome party ended.

The members of the Facilities Engineering Department who came to measure the estimate sighed as they looked around the aging building.

-hmm… Overall, it’s very old… If we want to do full-scale construction, we’ll have to tear it all down.

I was shocked when I heard that.

‘Ah, tearing everything down is a bit… ‘

Suddenly collapsing all the buildings of was a bit fatal for the future development of the story. We asked them to focus on construction that could be completed as quickly as possible without damaging the building.

-ah… ! Is that so? Then, it would be possible to quickly remodel the auditorium roof, dormitory building, and classrooms.

The personnel dispatched to the in charge of external construction seemed to welcome the quick completion of the schedule.

The day after the estimating team returned, the working team from who came from started work immediately.

That’s how the repair work began.

Of course, because it started suddenly, all the juniors were surprised.

-Look, repair work—?! Did our school have that kind of money?!

-Huh… The Facilities Engineering Department won’t help you for free, right?

-Clara senior… Isn’t this some kind of fraud?

I looked at the three pairs of eyes, each filled with astonishment, question, and doubt, and responded appropriately.

-That’s right-☆

The recently launched ‘s base expansion plan. In line with the subversive movement taking place between and , support is being dispatched to schools in the eastern region belonging to the alliance.

‘Well, it’s ‘support’ only in name, and in reality, it’s treated as an affiliated territory.’

It was a lie that in addition to , was also included in the plan.

– is also a school belonging to the alliance―☆

In any case, Maya had also spiced things up for the facility engineering students who had been dispatched to her under an appropriate pretext, so there was no one on the spot who could figure out the authenticity of it.

‘It’s literally Zhuge Liang’s plan.’

At the moment when Zhuge Liang was dying, didn’t he scare Sima Yi away with his 1:1 figure and repel him? If you lie about anything well, it becomes the truth right then and there.

I made that excuse and apologized to Arbit with a weak smile.

-I forgot to deliver it to the student council president―☆ I’m sorry, I’m sorry☆

-to… Am I really the student council president?!

-congratulations.

-Congratulations.

-Congratulations―☆

Clap clap clap clap

The armband must be filled before the opponent runs away.

Albit’s inauguration ceremony as student council president was carried out in the same way as deciding on a group project leader during college.

-Now that we have applause, we disperse―☆ Pack your bags and leave☆

-Oh, I need to bring some more books.

-If that’s the case, I’ll help you, comrade!

-joy. thank you.

-My, I am the student council president… ?! This is how ridiculous it gets… ?!

With Albit’s student council president inauguration ceremony that concluded. After we packed our belongings in the dormitory. I ended up staying in a room provided by Grandfather Hwata, a repair shop in the shopping district.

That’s how life in a single room began.

However, we did not spend time idly just because our living environment changed a little.

We all ran errands in the shopping district or patrolled the surrounding area to chase away delinquent students. A week of repeating that routine. It was good that a lot of the awkwardness between us had disappeared.

‘Maybe it’s because the kids are all good at heart, so we got along well.’

In particular, the Peach Sisters lived together for a week and treated each other as friendly as if they were friends who had been together for a year.

But his attitude toward me was complicated in many ways, in a good way.

-Clara senior… hmm… What can I say… yes?

-hmm… To be honest, I don’t feel like an older sister at all…

-I can see right away that you are a very considerate and kind comrade… only…

-yes… He’s nice… He’s nice… Strangely, I have no respect at all…

I feel pity for having to take care of him as a stupid senior.

I am proud of the way he sometimes shows as a senior.

A subtle mixture of these two emotions.

So, before I knew it, I had become something similar to the beloved youngest member of .

‘… Clara’s behavior was too much.’

anyway.

We became friends for a week.

We were able to deal with each other comfortably.

‘It’s so comfortable now that I can wear it… ‘

“… ”

“Cool… ”

I came back to reality and took a look at the big guy talking in his sleep. And after sighing a little. I quietly got up, threw the blanket I was covering on Kara, and left.

Squeak-

With the sound of an old wooden door.

From the yard of the repair shop located at the highest point of the shopping district, a panoramic view of the hillside village where is located comes before your eyes.

“… ”

I stretched out while looking at the sky that had not yet dawned.

“Phew… !”

Shoulders and arms stretch naturally without any sound coming from the bones.

“… Ttcha☆”

I sat down on the bare floor of the yard and tore my legs, and as expected, my leg muscles moved and stretched naturally without any pain or resistance.

That’s how simple stretching started. With just a little bit of stretching, the stiffness that arose from sleeping on the bare floor disappears. The pleasant elasticity and heat slowly rising from the body proved endlessly the health of the body.

I couldn’t be more thankful for that.

‘It’s really a blessing to be this healthy.’

healthy breakfast.

It was so refreshing to have a day without the pain in my entire body, which I had always enjoyed during my working days.

I look up at the sky once again and say thank you.

Around the time I was looking at the sky where dawn was slowly rising.

Grandfather Hwata came out of the store building in front of him.

And he walks leisurely into the yard.

“Has it already happened? Normally, when you’re the size of a bean, you have to sleep a lot.”

“I’m already a decent lady so it’s okay―☆”

Grandpa Hwata muttered, ‘What a lady.’ Then he sat down on a wooden chair and started smoking a cigarette.

Phew –

Cigarette smoke coming and going from the machine’s mouth.

Grandfather Hwata opened his mouth, which smelled of cigarette smoke, and spoke to me.

“… Come to think of it, didn’t they say that construction would be completed today?”

“Yes―☆ I’ll go when I finish this morning―☆ Thank you for letting me sleep so far☆”

“What are you thankful for? How many things have you helped me with so far?”

“… Still, I didn’t know that you would allow all four of us to sleep together here―☆”

“Never mind.”

Seup-

Pooh…

A lot of cigarette smoke.

Grandfather Hwata used to fill the emptiness and loneliness of morning sleep that disappeared as he got older with cigarettes. So, I think he received a lot of comfort from me, who came to him every early morning and ran trivial errands for him.

Grandfather Hwata blurted out in an indifferent tone.

“… I also think of my daughters who went abroad to get married. It wasn’t bad.”

“… ”

“I packed a few bottles of juice to drink on the way. Drink as you go.”

Those indifferent words contained emotions and times beyond the text of the NPC in the game.

We greeted the dawn of the morning in the shopping district without saying a word for a while.

＊

“Then let’s go!”

“Thank you for your hard work―☆”

“Thank you so much!”

“Thank you! Please return safely!”

“Thank you for your help!”

The day we returned from the new student welcome party, the place where we saw off the vehicle that picked us up. There, we saw off the students who had come to work on construction once again.

Buuu…

The rear view of a large vehicle moving quickly away on the road.

After looking at the back again, we tried to return to the hillside village where our school was located.

Albit muttered in a voice filled with emotion, recalling the image of the school that had been changed in the .

“I really never thought that the facilities of this beggar school would become so livable… ”

“It’s still shabby, but it’s a lot better than the first time.”

“But where is it?”

We walked up the hill, chatting quietly and holding juice bottles.

That moment.

I sensed a sense of discomfort.

“… !”

Someone broke into the school.

I deployed my cognitive ability, which is a unique etheric characteristic, to the fullest and focused all my attention on the building of about a hundred meters in front of me.

-Tsk… !

Then, I felt someone crawling through the window in the direction of the newly renovated student council room. Then, the uninvited guest organized the materials scattered around the student council room and then brought out a chair.

Squeak-

Sloppy…

An uninvited guest sitting down on a chair.

They sat down and crossed their legs or made meaningful poses.

-hmm… If you sit like this, your gaze won’t meet, so you won’t look good.

Then, I set the chair towards the front door.

I put the remaining building materials under the chair and try to maintain as high-handed eye contact as possible.

The uninvited guest mutters in that same position.

-Hmm~? You are the center… hmm. I feel like I’m admitting something too quickly. Hmm? It’s a really ugly school, isn’t it? hmm… Appearance? no…

Uninvited guests are suddenly hot! It is said with a sound like

-joy. It’s a really dirty school. How long are you going to make me wait here? I like this. Kukkuk… You’ll be surprised when you come back soon, right?

It’s about here.

I almost knew who that guy was.

‘The concept of … ‘

That guy was a character who liked to make the other person faint while making a meaningful appearance.

‘Why in our school… ?’

The concept of appears only after the story progresses further. For some reason, he had already crept into our school and was making vicious threats.

‘I don’t want to make my juniors feel down on a good day… ‘

When you’re thinking like that.

Albit said as he grabbed my arm.

“… That’s why, senior!”

“Yes, huh? Why are you calling me? ☆”

“Let’s take a look around the city while we’re out!”

“Oh! Agree―☆”

So we left him alone until 6 p.m.

When we returned, he was waiting in the dark student council room, looking dejected.

“… Why are you coming now?”

“… Who?”

“… Phew.”

‘Bell’, the evil concept-obsessed secretary of the , lowered his head.
