Chapter Four: Kisou Academy Decisive Battle
Episode 116: Selection
It has been three days since the incident at Jilnias Academy.
In the end, we managed to establish a cooperative relationship with Jilnias Academy, and not only did a beautiful girl come to Factom, but we also acquired a double mysterious beauty. There were many gains.
However, we were unable to obtain the TS Machine.
But that’s just a matter of time.
Because now, there are people who can easily create a TS Machine!
“Then, let me introduce you again—this is Miuye-chan. Give her a round of applause!”
At the student council meeting, the new transfer students were being introduced once more.
The initial introductions had already taken place, and they’ve been living in the dormitory for three days.
Even so, everyone was gathered because Factom’s uniform was ready, and they wanted to showcase it.
Incidentally, it’s free of charge. Scarily, this event apparently doesn’t involve any monetary transactions.
Miroku Senpai, I’m sticking with you forever.
“Uh, nice to meet you… It feels kind of embarrassing,” said Miuye, bowing her head shyly while wearing the Factom uniform.
By the way, it’s a perfectly tailored uniform.
This isn’t the uniform I gave Solciera for her school life fantasies.
‘In the end, I never got to use it, so I ended up giving it away. That one was pretty expensive, wasn’t it?’
I’ll work hard and buy another one. Given the season, it should be the summer version.
Unlike usual, seeing Solciera in lighter clothing makes my heart race…
Her sweat-drenched chest fluttering, making me feel all flustered…
‘There aren’t any male students in this academy who would be affected by that though.’
That’s true.
Ah, I wonder if male students will ever come here.
…No, if just one male transfer student came, he’d probably get lynched and end up corrupted into a mess. So, I guess we’ll have to wait for next year for new male students. We’ll have to work hard to attract them.
“Next is me! Let me introduce myself!!!”
After Miuye’s introduction, a spirited beautiful girl stood up energetically.
The golden-haired girl swayed as she enthusiastically opened her mouth.
“I’m Yatsutaka Hikari!! I’ve come from Kisou Academy! My ability is Light Wings! And my best impression is of a professor!! Now, let me do the impression! ‘A professor realizing they forgot their wallet at the register’ … Oh no, how could I—”
Hikari’s head was tapped as she began her impression.
The other beautiful girl who hit her seriously glared at Hikari.
“Hikari, do you know what Morality is?”
“Is it a French dessert?”
“…Yeah, just quiet down for now. I understand.”
“Yes!!!! Later, I want to eat Morality!!”
With an extremely loud voice, Hikari responded, causing the other girl to glance at her with an exasperated expression before bowing her head politely.
“I’m Clam Kirara. …Sorry about earlier with Jouka. Uh, I can summon explosive frogs. That’s all.”
Clam greeted everyone seriously.
She lacked her previous cheerfulness, appearing calmer than before, and her purple hair made her seem slightly darker.
Could it be that Jouka was actually a gloomy beautiful girl?
That information wasn’t in my data…
‘You’re not cut out for creating data characters, are you?’
Aw…
“So, these three are the newest members of Factom General Academy. …Though, you all already know them, right?”
When Miroku Senpai spoke, Kei, Toa, and Mizuki Senpai nodded.
“They’ve already started living in the dorms. Especially Hikari, who has already participated in several mock battles.”
“Yes!! I fought with Mizuki Senpai!! She was super strong, so it was super intense!!!”
Hikari nodded vigorously as she said this.
Her level of idiocy is bone-deep. This type hasn’t existed before.
Factom General Academy only had normal people, so having someone like her as a catalyst is refreshing.
‘Were there only normal people…? Hmm, are you not counting yourself?’
Of course I am? What’s with the complaints?
“So, the reason we gathered today is because there’s something else we need to decide besides showing off the uniforms.”
Miroku Senpai wrote something on the whiteboard.
“Is it tonight’s dinner…?!”
“Hikari, it’s probably serious, so please be quiet.”
Clam and Hikari sat together, whispering quietly.
Meanwhile, Miuye and Toa were naturally getting along well beside them.
Um… I…
Am supposed to be the mysterious beautiful girl role…
‘Does self-declaring as a mysterious beautiful girl still count as mysterious?’
Then what am I supposed to do?
“…Kei, is something wrong?”
Mizuki Senpai kindly asked me.
How gentle… Mizuki-sama…
‘Isn’t this clearly a Mizuki x Solciera pairing? This must be the main romance!! We need to make sure it happens in time for Hinotuchi Cultural Festival!’
Absolutely not. I vow to stop Star Reader’s Staff’s rampage.
While silently vowing, I placed my hand over my mouth as if deeply considering what Miroku Senpai was writing.
I’m quite skilled at pretending to think seriously, so leave it to me.
“No, I believe this marks an important period for Factom General Academy.”
I’m quite good at saying things that sound profound. You can trust me with this.
“I see… As always, Kei is serious.”
“Mizuki Senpai, you’ve been continuously going out on dungeon rescue missions lately. Please don’t overexert yourself.”
Upon hearing my words, Mizuki Senpai proudly puffed out her chest and showed us her gun.
“Thanks to this, I can control my abilities much better. I’m not overdoing anything. Rather, I’d like to encounter someone who challenges me. Though… we’ll meet soon enough.”
Following Mizuki Senpai’s gaze, there was the whiteboard. Tapping it lightly with the pen, Miroku Senpai announced,
“We’re going to select students to participate in Mikage Academy’s territorial war.”
“Yes! Question!!!”
Hikari stood up.
“If it’s Mikage Academy’s territorial war, won’t we get in trouble for participating?”
“We’re already sister schools. Therefore, we have the right to participate. In fact, it seems that twenty-three sister schools of Kisou Academy will also join the territorial war.”
“Wow, that’s quite a disadvantage in numbers… Should we consider ourselves lucky that Senkai Academy and our academy aren’t enemies?”
Due to the orders of Mikage Academy’s Student Council President, Jilnias Academy and Senkai Academy have already been brought onto our side.
If following the original storyline, Tourak should have convinced Senkai Academy and gained a new heroine by now.
…Hmm, does that count towards the heroine tally?
“While they didn’t directly lend a hand, they’ve provided practical support through Diving Gear maintenance and relic loans.”
“Thanks to that, many academies have already severed ties with Kisou Academy. Rather, we should consider it fortunate that only twenty-three remain.”
Clam’s statement made Miroku Senpai nod.
“That’s correct. Moreover, only one S-Rank student from Kisou Academy will participate in this territorial war. So, with Mikage Academy’s S-Rank Student Council President Yukihira and our own Mizuki, the two of us—”
“Can win. That’s why. Six waves, leave them to me… I’m already excited. Alright, let’s go handle some dungeon rescues!”
“I’m coming too!!!”
“Alright, Mizuki, calm down. Didn’t I say today was your day off?”
“Hikari, sit down… No, don’t resist.”
Their guardians restrained them.
We’ve gained two more individuals who act immediately…
‘Hmm, indeed, this combination—’
This side seems fun too.
“So, Mizuki is already set to participate. At this point, victory is almost guaranteed, but I’d like to send a few more people as reinforcements. Is there anyone who wants to volunteer?”
Apparently, this is the main topic for today.
Indeed, reinforcements.
Given this academy’s absurd power, adding just one person to Mizuki Senpai’s team should be enough.
…Seriously, their strength is incredible.
Could we even win the territorial war with just our group?
I don’t know how strong Hikari is, but she’s a beautiful girl, so she’s probably powerful.
Clam obviously has those outrageous Mar-Chans. They’re simply too effective for group battles.
And most importantly, Miuye.
The power she displayed during her battle with Kanon was downright unfair, even to me who knows the original story.
Will this girl reach S-Rank someday?
What exactly is the Truth Magic Eye anyway? It became truth without me even understanding the concept.
“Since whoever goes likely won’t change the outcome of victory, please casually volunteer for the sake of promoting Factom General Academy.”
“Yes!!! I’ll go!!!”
“So, Hikari is confirmed to participate.”
“Yay!!!”
“I won’t be going.”
Clam, who was hugged joyfully, detached herself with an air of irritation and stated that.
Hikari froze in shock.
Besides, she hugs so naturally!
That kind of friendly lily is nice too…
‘From this close proximity, unintentionally teasing Clam until one day, Clam finally reaches her limit. “It’s Hikari’s fault…” Saying that, Clam pushed Hikari onto the bed and—’
Please don’t write yuri plot summaries in someone else’s head.
Shouldn’t you be paying more attention to this meeting?
‘Serious? But isn’t Ciel over there grinding quests less serious? Why is she allowed? It’s unfair.’
Nana-chan, sitting beside Miroku Senpai, seemed completely at ease while summarizing today’s meeting on her PC and simultaneously grinding social games.
When our eyes met, she smiled brightly at me. As long as the young girl smiles, that’s fine.
“Is there anyone else who wants to go? We need to finalize the participants by today.”
“Umm, I’ll pass. I’d rather focus on modifying the Dungeon Core to expand Factom’s autonomous zone.”
This person’s area of expertise is truly unique.
Thank you so much for coming.
“Me too, I’ll pass…”
Toa raised her hand casually.
But at that moment, Mizuki Senpai opened her eyes wide.
“No, Toa. You must come with me.”
“Eh?”
Being singled out, Toa froze in shock.
“You will eventually bear the responsibility of this academy. If you’re going to fight alongside Kei in the future, you need to experience the territorial war. For artillery handlers, nothing beats real combat experience. Don’t miss the opportunity to gain experience.”
“Ahh… But…”
Flustered, Toa looked at me for help.
So, I gave her a thumbs-up and said,
“Good luck.”
There’s no greater joy than watching beautiful girls in battle.
They provide nutrients that can only be obtained from watching them fight valiantly.
“So, Kei-kun, will you come too? Ne?”
Looking back and forth between Toa pleading and Miroku Senpai asking, I flashed a smile.
Just as Toa was about to sigh in relief, I added,
“I’ll pass!”
“Wh-what?! Ehhh?!”
“So, Toa and Hikari are decided then.”
“Yes!!! Thank you, Mizuki Senpai!!! Toa-chan!!!”
“Ah, okay, counting on you both.”
“Su-such…”
Watching Toa become limp with despair, I silently apologized in my heart.
Sorry, Toa.
This territorial war is an important event involving Tourak and Rokuhara.
The pivotal episode where Rokuhara judges Tourak as “super interesting” and switches sides, leading to Kisou Academy getting utterly defeated.
If someone like Solciera, an absurdly powerful regular, gets involved, there’s no telling what might happen.
So, I’ll spectate on the day of the event. ^^
I’ll pass the time hunting a few angels during the preparation period.
Killing angels outside of the ones from the original story shouldn’t be a problem for me.
The mysterious beautiful girl gracefully hunting angels… It’s beautiful.
“Ugh… I don’t want to fight…”
As Toa collapsed, Miuye caught her.
Good friends they are.
Power up with the bond of friendship, Toa!
“Alright, that’s all for today. Let’s all have a great day!”
With Miroku Senpai’s cheerful smile, today’s meeting concluded.
The beautiful girls chattered (mostly just one) and left the student council room.
Standing in front of the remaining Toa, I nodded firmly.
“On the day, alright!”
“S-su-such thing isn’t what I meant…”
Shaking as she replied, Toa.
…Yeah, definitely good.
For some reason, when I look at Toa, I feel ticklish—.
‘Your Honor!’
