“Whoo—! It’s hot!”

“… ”

Greetings that ended in an instant.

Eir put down the spine-like sword he was carrying on his back and sat down on the seat next to the bench. When I saw it right next to me, the scraggly appearance was more noticeable.

The black coat and red school uniform reminiscent of flames had a faint smell of sweat, and it was hard to guess how many days had passed since the messy red hair had been washed.

‘If it’s hot, I take off my coat… Is the academy city trend not going away these days? The same goes for the delinquent students, and it feels a bit chaotic.’

Eir rarely leaves the school grounds. I was also concerned that she came alone to the northeastern part of the city, far away from the northern part of the Scarlet Academy.

Unable to overcome my curiosity, I spoke to Eir, who was smelling of sweat.

“If you’re here—☆ Are you here to take the final exam?”

“Huh? Uh… yes. I guess this is the only place I can stop by and take the test while passing by. Well, I didn’t know anything, so I just took a quick picture.”

I see.

After all, my sister, my best friend.

Heroes don’t study.

‘But I don’t think I’ve ever seen Eir in the exam room… ‘

It seems that Eir was assigned to a different testing center than me. But even so, it was strange for her to come here and take the test.

“Wow☆ As far as I know, there is a separate administrative office in the northern part—☆ And if you, the student council president of , come this far, wouldn’t the kids at the school be looking for you~☆”

“… ”

“If something happened and you came all the way~ You can come to our and take a rest—☆ Because we are now sister schools♪”

“… ”

If you look at the fact that I don’t particularly deny that they are secretly sister schools. It seemed like the promise to think of each other as sisters was still valid.

‘Although it’s a little rough, it’s actually a school that fits my heart better than any other school… ‘I’m happy because it’s .’

A school of warriors.

The warm send-off of the students still remained in my mind. The passion contained in their footsteps and cries was engraved deep in my heart.

Although due to misunderstanding,

Although we parted ways in such a solemn atmosphere.

‘I think we need to resolve that misunderstanding soon… ‘

I wanted to help if there was any problem at . With that in mind, he subtly encouraged Eir.

Eir opened his eyes wide, blinked, and then burst into laughter. The shark-like teeth visible between the pink lips were very impressive.

“Khehe… The kids at our school, well… They have nothing to worry about. Now that it’s time for those guys to elect a new leader, shouldn’t they be away from time to time? There is already one strong candidate.”

“Ah~☆ I see… Then why are you here… ?”

“… ”

Eir didn’t answer for a while. But then he looked up at the sky and answered in a cheerful tone.

“As I swore that day, in order to reach a state beyond [Inherent Ether]… I feel like I have to push myself to my limit. I am moving around, adapting to dungeons and environments I have never been to. Hehe.”

“Hey… ☆”

“After wandering around alone like that, I ended up coming here before I knew it. While I was here, I also took a test. Sigh… Even though I filmed everything.”

“Hoooh… ☆”

“Anyway… As my perspective changes in many ways, I can see where I need to go, so I’m running.”

“Oooh… ☆”

I couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.

‘I instinctively guessed the correct answer to go to zero… ‘

trance.

The stage of completing one’s own world, beyond the [unique ether] that creates one’s own world.

If I explain it game-wise.

Raising experience to the limit, completing character growth that is no longer affected by external factors.

‘Hilde and I have reached our limits with our PVP experience.’

Freya awakens through a boss battle.

Eir is awakening through various experiences and adventures.

“Mmmm.”

Eir nodded proudly and said.

“Still, I made it this far, so it was a unique experience. Last night, there were some delinquent students who didn’t recognize me, so I took care of them… Hehehe, it’s been a while? Those guys who attack me. After getting beaten up by me, he abandoned his hideout and ran away to a far corner.”

“… ”

An intuition passing through my head. For some reason, when I heard those words, the delicious smell of green hair came to mind.

“Surely, their hair was green?”

“Oh, are they famous?”

“No… ☆”

I see.

The green-haired robber girls who became a giant gimbap…

Are they beaten by two people in one night? ?

I said I was overly scared for some reason.

“… ”

hmm… Anyway.

It was fortunate that there were no particular problems with Eir and .

“… ”

“… ”

So we sat blankly, observing the people passing by. Because we have a keen sense of humor that is different from others, this street, where so many people pass by and make their presence known, gave us the appreciation of a kind of spectacular fountain show.

“… ”

“… ”

A comfortable silence continued for a while.

‘… I guess I’ll have to resolve the misunderstanding soon.’

Eir is smiling after talking to someone for the first time in a long time.

Even though he was a student from a rough slum, he was a good and curious student by nature.

I couldn’t further misunderstand her, who showed such deep friendship that she called me ‘sister’.

I spoke carefully to Eir.

“Yes.”

“What?”

“… The pain I had back then is all healed now, and I can use ether—☆ In fact, I could use [Inherent Ether] back then♪ [Faded Spiral] is a lie… ”

“Oh, that’s right. somehow. You’re good at acting.”

“… ?”

… ?

I was rather taken aback by his very calm attitude.

Even if it’s not like Hilde was sulking for a couple of hours… I thought there would be some kind of reaction.

-Lara, why did you lie to me?

-Ugh… ! Now, wait a minute… ! The nape of my neck is a bit… ♪

-Lala, lala… I have to punish ugly Lara.

‘On that day, I had to kiss Hilde five times to be forgiven… Increasingly, they only order places that are strangely strange… ‘

I was curious about Hilde’s sensibility in ordering me to do such a thing even after knowing my contents.

anyway…

Even after hearing the same truth, Eir was surprisingly calm.

“I see, so?”

“… ”

Eir must have been bored by the long story, so he yawned and picked his ears. After shaking it off, he said with a smile that showed shark teeth.

“Hehehe… The sincerity has already been conveyed, but I don’t know what the importance of the truth is. Do you always live like that?”

“… ”

“[Naseon], I don’t think you know because you don’t come to the slums, but explanations to students from for more than 10 minutes are prohibited. Did you understand?”

“Hehe… ☆ He also talked for more than 10 minutes—☆”

Eir frowned at my counterattack and shook his head. And he shouted loudly, as if he didn’t want to hear any more talk.

“Ah, it’s noisy! anyway! I will defeat [Blue and White Thunder Spear] at the fighting festival in the fall and become the strongest in Academy City! That’s what I decided! So, we must quickly head beyond the [Inherent Aether]—!!”

A roar with both hands stretched out to the sky.

Because of this, people passing by looked at me in shock,

I was shocked when I recognized the appearance and nickname of the person who screamed.

I laughed when I saw it.

‘Eirde is at the next level of no drama… Don’t you know that you have reached the level of ‘liberation of the true name of the weapon’…? ‘

[Gungnir]

A weapon containing Hilde’s [fate].

Liberation of the true name of the weapon.

Unlike ‘Mugeuk’, it is a temporary name given to the game system. Anyway, Hilde is clearly us… We went one step further than the students who were stuck in ‘no drama’.

‘The difference between characters whose bodies are at full level and breakthrough characters who reach their exclusive weapon level… ‘

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly as I watched Eir’s actions without knowing that. Before she knew it, her goal had taken a step back.

I eventually decided to tell Eir about the growth that Hilde and Freya had achieved.

“Ahaha… ☆ Well, that’s it… ”

*

In the end, Eir decided to stay at today.

Arbit and the others, who had faithfully completed the exam, were shocked to see her.

“Ugh?! [Yang Hong’s Trail]?! Why?!”

“Ahaha… ☆”

“Uh. It’s me.”

The silence that follows.

“… ”

“… ”

“… ”

However, they soon regained their composure with a tempered steel spirit. There were too many things I experienced in the past semester to be surprised by every single one of these things.

Albit calmed down his surprised expression and muttered.

“What… Now I’m used to seeing five colors suddenly pop out… ”

“Surprise… Gien, now there are only three people we have seen… ?”

“And the strongest of the largest and second largest schools… And the person I spend every day with is also the strongest… ”

Albit seemed to realize the truth and shouted in surprise.

“Do we need to be surprised now that we can see the five colors?!”

“Nothing.”

“I don’t think there is one.”

“Then let’s welcome senior Eir!”

“I agree.”

“Agree.”

That’s how the juniors welcomed the surprise guest, Eir.

A protocol for treating guests that has become familiar to us.

We took her dirty clothes, took them to a repair shop for washing, and then gave her training clothes. He then opened the shower room and helped me wash.

The shower room at .

A powerful stream of water poured out from the ether pump that had recently been repaired. There, Eir was naked, catching the pouring water droplets.

“Damn… ! Wow—!! This can’t be… ! My, I am lower than that fat cat… ?! Now under [Thunder Spear], not [Trajectory]… [Spinning wheel]… ? No, that can’t be… !”

Actually, it was me, not Freya, who was being kissed under Hilde… I didn’t think there was any need to tell you that.

How loudly you scream.

It could be heard even in the dormitory cafeteria.

Upright

Orange cat ears that move whenever a loud sound is heard.

“… ?”

Lotta, wearing an apron and preparing dinner, smiles. However, I soon turned my attention off and started busying my hands again, putting the ingredients into the pot.

Albit and Kara were running errands in the shopping district that I had done in the past. Before we knew it, they had become the new mascots of the shopping district and were being loved.

‘The juniors have now completely settled into their own lifestyles and are boldly going on dungeon expeditions… ‘

Everything works out as it should.

Everyone was growing up.

All misunderstandings are peeled away little by little.

“Hehe… ☆”

I smiled, feeling proud of that.

Now we were moving forward with a sincere heart.

*

A blade pointed at my neck.

“Stay still, don’t move!! If you don’t want to see this pink head get hurt!!”

“… ?”

“… ?”

“… ?”

It’s been a while since I gained strength.
