Chapter 209

Episode 205: Munch Munch Crepes and Evil

This is a scene that cannot be simply categorized as a lily relationship due to the age gap.

“Yes, it’s wonderful.”

“What’s wrong with you two?”

Oh, Kame.

Can’t you see the beautiful relationship between Miuye and Lady Nei?

Their relationship, each carrying something dark in their hearts, equates to enough energy to power an entire country.

Of course, you must know this by now, right?

“What’s with that way of speaking… My lord, I don’t recall raising such a child.”

I don’t recall being raised that way either.

Don’t pile nonsense on top of nonsense.

It’ll become unmanageable.

“Kei, hereee!”

“Ahh… here you go.”

I take a bite of the crepe offered by Hikari. It’s delicious.

“Judge!”

I’m a woman right now!

I’m still an apprentice, but I am a beautiful girl!

“Hmm… then there’s nothing to be done about it ^^”

“Ho ho ho, make sure not to get cream around your mouth, my lord.”

Today, justice remains impartial.

Now, we are currently engaged in observing the wonderful relationship between Miuye and Lady Nei.

Meanwhile, we have some chit-chat time sitting on the bench.

Being able to eat crepes with Mizuki Senpai… isn’t this like getting one CG scene back already?

“You should also let me recover your CG scenes someday. Eat crepes at Solciera and be amazed by the sensation of tasting them for the first time…!”

Star Reader’s Staff is letting his ego show too much.

How frightening.

I’ve been turned into a girl who hasn’t eaten crepes yet.

“In battles day and night, the concept of Solciera knowing nothing girly has already become a set rule. I made it so. Most of the fanfiction floating around on the net follows this setting.”

That’s true…

“By the way, the doujinshi I plan to sell tomorrow also includes this setting. A lonely Solciera fighting alone. And a female original protagonist harboring a self-centered desire to save her. It’s turned out to be a sweet and slightly erotic doujinshi.”

I haven’t seen everything yet, but isn’t that really R-18?

“It’s fine. Mine is still cute compared to others.”

What’s happening at the Hinotuchi Culture Festival?

What about the healthy upbringing of youths?

“In this city, I doubt such idealistic notions would work, my lord.”

Now that you mention it, that might be true…

“Kei-chan… I mean, Kei-kun. Would you like to try mine?”

Ryuko offers me her crepe.

Yay!

“At first glance, it might look like a mundane harem. However, all of them are beautiful girls. Don’t you think it’s wonderful?”

“Humans shouldn’t be destroyed. I must protect them…”

The angels from the original story who were on the enemy side, no matter how much persuasion Touak did, ended up becoming allies so easily!

Beautiful girls…! Beautiful girls solve everything!

“Hey, Kei-kun. Can I ask you something?”

Ryuko quietly spoke to me.

Mizuki-senpai and Hikari seemed to be enjoying their crepes without noticing us.

“What’s wrong?”

“…Do those two know that you’re a girl?”

Ah, when we met before, she was the cool-headed common sense beauty with black hair.

She probably finds it strange that I’m dressed as a boy so naturally.

“Actually, I’m keeping it a secret from Mizuki-senpai. So, I’m a boy here. …Right?”

When I said that while raising my index finger, Ryuko nodded in surprise multiple times, seemingly moved.

“Special mission or something? It’s the Na Takikai family after all! …Ah, call me if anything happens. I’ll rush over at Mach speed!”

“Hehe, you’re reliable.”

Here, I deliberately showed a girlish smile.

It’s the line where people who understand will realize that I’m actually a girl.

“That’s professional skill.”

The key to mastering this technique lies in learning through feeling rather than theory.

“Oh, it’s unfair that only you guys get to eat crepes!”

Turning towards the voice, it was Miyme looking at us saying that with an obviously exaggerated energetic posture.

There’s no clumsy beautiful girl here who would point that out.

“Nei-san, shall we have some too?”

“Hmm, sweets in this quantity might be tough for someone of my age…”

Miyme trying to stay cheerful and Nei-san.

In that case, I should match their pace.

“Half-and-half, perhaps? Miyme, eating all that might make you gain weight.”

“Half-and-half sounds good! Let’s go, Nei-san!”

“Wha!? …Haha, there’s no need to pull my arm so hard… No, you’re surprisingly strong, aren’t you?”

That’s because she’s Canon-chan, humanity’s greatest masterpiece.

Probably, even without magic or such things, her base stats alone are unbeatable by anyone.

“…Solciera locked in a room with sealed magical power and Miyme… What does that imply?”

Kame, help me.

“Solciera being pampered and put to bed by Miyme…!?”

These guys are beyond saving.

“Hurry up or they’ll be gone!”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ve never seen the crepes at that place run out of stock.”

Nei being pulled by the arm and Miyme cheerfully moving forward.

Watching their backs, I ate the crepe in my hand.

“…Sweet.”

A girl who loves such food came to mind.

She couldn’t eat the crepe in the end, and hearing that we ate it might make her pout.

…Is Toa doing alright?

In the dimness, the conductor was trembling with joy alone.

Multiple monitors displayed various areas of the Kroma Music Academy.

Among them, the conductor stared intently at one monitor.

“Ooh… Could it be, such a miracle exists! A human of void has appeared just before the miraculous holiday!”

The monitor showed Nei and Miyme.

The conductor had no idea what they were talking about.

However, that didn’t matter.

Because the conductor knew he understood Nei better than anyone else.

“Ho ho, as expected, the world demands the revival of Lady Nei…! She shouldn’t have been banished from the throne because of such a small mistake!”

For the conductor, it was a sign of reenactment.

Those who couldn’t be saved in the past, and those who weren’t saved.

And the many citizens who witnessed the conclusion.

“…It was worth preparing for. Of course, Lady Nei desires it too. The revival…! To bloom again on the stage…!”

The conductor stood up, exclaiming in joy, and immediately expanded a window.

“We need to capture that girl of void… There may be some changes to the plan, but there should be no problems.”

The conductor began searching for information based on Miyme’s face shown on the monitor.

But soon tilted his head in confusion.

“…What is this woman?”

The conductor had been lurking in this Academy City for a long time.

He particularly valued connections to the underworld and had quite an extensive network of information on an individual level.

Gathering information on one student should be a trivial matter.

It should have been, but the information collected by the conductor on Miyme was scarce.

“A first-year at Factom General Academy… Is that all? Void humans are supposed to be chosen families by the Doctor. Yet, why…”

All information was unclear.

Her career, place of origin, not to mention records from a year ago, none existed.

The girl who should have been visible on the monitor was almost completely unknown in terms of her background.

“…Then, investigating from Factom General Academy—huh?”

The conductor exclaimed with frustration.

“What is this academy…!?”

Starting from S Rank Teruue Mizuki, the third son of the Na Takikai family, the user of converging artillery attacks, Demons Gear, etc., the academy was filled with geniuses as if gathering the aces from each academy.

Or perhaps, it seemed like a cage.

A special sandbox to contain monsters.

The girl Miyme trapped within it was also likely a subject to be wary of.

An ordinary person would probably withdraw their hand at this point.

But the conductor had abandoned normalcy long ago.

“…This must be the final trial. The sudden appearance of a void human. This is undoubtedly a blessing from heaven! Ah, but it won’t be given so easily. What a tender-hearted god!”

The conductor concluded.

Factom General Academy was the final trial.

Beyond all obstacles, the last piece, Miyme, awaited.

His mood was akin to that of a hero.

“Lady Nei, I can’t burden you alone. I will accompany you…”

The conductor whispered with a blissful expression.

Behind him, thousands of Solciera stood silently waiting for their master’s orders.
