"... I didn't know you were going to defeat Reid Boss... and I'm not going to be able to hide the surprise from you, either, boulder"
After we defeated Laid Boss, we were able to use the magic team that warped us to the ground in our boss's room, so we came back to town safely.
And we went under Dr. Hayakawa and reported it.
Dr. Hayakawa listens to my explanation and puts his hand on his head, his eyes pointing this way as if to look at troubling things with a twisted brow so much that he doesn't look like this guy.
"... so you were all safe, huh? Someone's not dead, is it?
"Some HP went to 0 in the middle of the fight, but it was ok because I was able to resuscitate right away"
"Well... that's more than anything"
Hearing my answer, Dr. Hayakawa sighed "Phew..." and sat in a chair that was nearby.
"But a trap in the shape of a person inside the labyrinth... this is going to need to be reported above and brought to the attention of the students as well"
"Right."
She also seems shocked that we defeated the Laid Boss, but she also looks surprised by the trap she was able to call her first kill.
Well, it would also be less likely that someone would get caught if you spread the information to all the players that there is such a trap.
Of course we'll never catch on to anything like that again.
"Though...... the most unexpected thing as far as I'm concerned was that Ichinose and Ice Room fought together. I thought you guys were hanging out from the first day of login until today?
Dr. Hayakawa looked at me and the ice room and said something like that.
"... well, unless it's time to fight. Nori doesn't fit."
"Even I'm going to acknowledge Ichinose's prowess. I hate him, though."
That's why we give that answer to Dr. Hayakawa.
Becoming a friend is a wish, but you can be a comrade.
That's what our relationship is about.
"Huh... right. Then we should continue to be incisive. I'm here for you."
Then Dr. Hayakawa smiled on his face and quietly drank the coffee he had on the table as he told us so.
"But be careful not to be too unscrupulous in the future. If he dies, he dies. It's a good sample for us, but it's not very pleasant for you."
"... yes, I know"
After that, I heard zero words from Dr. Hayakawa's mouth, and I snorted inside thinking that these teachers were also thinking something rather unpleasant.
After all this interaction, the 10 of us who chose the C course were to return to Earth once.
After returning to Earth for the first time in about 24 hours, they were promptly given a medical examination, but there were no abnormalities in all of them, and the C-course team had defeated the Reid boss, and he received quite a high rating for the matter at a later date.
At this rate, the tuition will be waived in full, and I think if I get some of that as a penny according to my arrangement with my parents, I can turn it into a charge, and I have a black grin.
It was a very long time ago, 24 days in Earth, but this is how we successfully completed our C course.
When we returned to Earth we had some medical examinations and produced a report summarizing our activities in Earth that we had to submit to the school, the time was completely night, so we gathered in the dining room for dinner and had a boss hunting launch.
At that time, I had quite a pleasant time celebrating the story when I defeated King Goblin, saying a lot about the ice chamber in the way the drop items obtained at the time of destruction were dispensed, and Sakuya also had a hug to me without the sunshadow cherry (bearded sakura) reading the air.
It's been a really long time since I've made such a foolish scene in real life, so I can't deny the feeling that I've taken my wings off a little too much.
Well, that's a launch-specific disrespect.
"Hey, Ichinose. I need to talk to you for a second."
Such a good time passed, and when I thought it was time to go back to the dorm where I lived, Mina too was called out by Asahi Bina.
"? Oh, I don't mind."
I don't know what it's for, but there's no reason not to talk to her here, so I shake my head vertically.
Then she started walking down the hall, so I follow it, too.
That's how I walked for about a few minutes, and around the time I walked out of the school building, she turned to me.
"Hey... hands, hold on"
"... hands?
"That's right. Look, come on."
"Uh... Ah"
Why do you suddenly hold hands?
Asahina has grabbed my hand forcefully, confused by that thought.
"Hey, what..."
"... I just thought I'd take a little walk in the night sky."
When I tried to raise my doubts about what Asahina said, she jumped momentum with my hand grabbed.
Normally, even if we do that, we just land on the ground immediately, but Asahina and I are moving straight up.
I mean, me and Asahina were flying in the sky.
We were alone in the night sky.
"... can people float about your alien abilities?"
"Yes, it is. But if you let go of my hand, it won't work either, so you can never let go of me, right?
"Wow, okay."
The current altitude is loosely beyond a three-story school building.
I'm sorry if I fell out of here for free.
I took her advice. I grabbed her hand disappointingly.
"... so what the hell is the reason you invited me for an empty walk? You called me because you wanted to talk to me about something, didn't you?
And I asked her.
I can do it alone if it's just a walk.
I asked because you called me in spite of that. I thought there must be some reason.
"Uh... I don't know what to say"
But Asahina is turning to me and clouding her words.
Is it like saying something out of the ordinary?
"What do you think? Ichinose."
"What do you think... what?
"This situation... it's flying! It feels like…"
"That you're flying?
Why are you asking me that?
I don't know, but let me just be honest with you.
"Right...... that feels strange somehow. Which one is up there or something becomes vague. This is the world of gravity."
"That's not what I want to hear."
"? Then what do you want to hear?
"Hmmm...... I mean, isn't it comfortable floating around in the sky like this? That's what I wanted to hear."
Comfortable?
Well, there is certainly something like liberation.
"Right. That could be pretty good."
"Isn't that right? It's this feeling that makes me feel the best I've ever had in my life?"
"Heh."
I mean, from this situation, does Asahi Bina want to taste that feeling and bring it to me?
"But why did you give it to me?
"... this is today's thank you. It was so tough, but when I defeated the boss, I thought it was fun too."
"Thank you…?"
I guess the boss is referring to that Reid fight.
Asahina was so happy to be with us when she took control of the long battle against King Goblin.
"You said that before you fought the boss, didn't you? Don't you think if we take this guy down, we'll have the most fun moments ahead of us! Do something like that. That was real."
"Right? You have to be happy over there. You don't have the qualities to play games."
Nevertheless, there are some things about that that made me happy because they all survived.
Once you're completely dead, you'll never be able to return to that world again.
Earth's self doesn't die, so it doesn't matter.
I think that's why we got so much more joy.
"I really enjoyed it then... so I thought I'd give you a delightful recommendation to fly."
"Oh well."
A delight proposition?
Don't feel itchy when they say that.
"It feels so good to look up and close your eyes. Try it, too."
"Oh, okay"
But I'm not in a bad mood.
That's what I thought as I turned my body up as Mina explained.
Then we close our eyes and keep floating in the night sky where we feel a little chilly and comfortable with our hands held together.
"... but can I stay at your party...?
"? What do you mean?
Then in the meantime, Asahina leaked a potpourri and a grunt.
I listen to it, but I don't really understand what she's saying, and I open my eyes and tilt my neck.
"Look... you guys don't all find it hard to level up, or when it comes to the two, they work together like cars, right? You can keep having beginners like me in there..."
"Oh, you know what?"
I hear Asahi Bina's explanation as she sends her gaze over here, and I raise my voice to my satisfaction.
If you think about it, all the party members other than Asahina are quite the owners of abolitionist thinking.
I chose a 24-hour course flat or even suggested I do a long hunt without raising any dissatisfaction.
Make it a PS. Make it a mindset, there is a huge separation between Asahi Bina and the other members.
But there's no such thing as Asahina shouldn't work with us.
"Isn't that all right?
"Do you really think so?
"Of course. Well, that's only because Asahina is an attacker."
There's a lot of hard stuff about tanks and healers when they're beginners, but they're less important about attackers than those two roles.
Not that it's okay to suck, of course, but because if an attacker does something, it doesn't mean that it leads to an immediate party annihilation.
"If Asahina makes any mistakes, we just need to follow up. You just have to remember to collaborate and stand around a little bit."
"Ichinose-kun..."
"Or is it still painful for Asahina to go with us? I used to get up at 3: 00 every morning, and I was like," Oh, my God. "
We can tolerate that Asahina is immature as an attacker.
Nevertheless, if Asahina herself says she doesn't have this about us, she can't help it.
It wouldn't do her any good if I had to.
"No, that's not true. Well, it's hard to wake up early in the morning, it's hard to hunt all the time... but I've never thought it would be painful to be with you guys."
"... well"
"Yeah, so if you want me to stay at your party, I'll stay happy."
Asahina looked up at the night sky again when she said so.
Looking up there doesn't mean you can see the stars or anything, but I get stuck with her and look up, too.
"Then don't keep asking me, Asahina"
"Mina's fine. That's what they call it from people close to me."
"Are you close... ok. Then you can call me true."
"So sweet for your words...... keep it up, True You"
"Oh, nice to meet you, Mina"
This is how we recognized each other in the night sky, feeling the temperature coming from our hands.
Later on, Sunshadow (Sakuya) pointed out that Mina and I had changed our way of calling each other, "Then call me Cherry Blossom! Master Singh!" But I passed through gorgeously.
My name is true in this world, and I'm not called Singh, Mr. Sunshadow.
