"What do you want?

I would never sit with Ruby and ask, keeping my distance intact.

She already has the initiative for this occasion. I wanted to avoid riding at her pace any longer.

"Before I say that, let me check first. Whether you have the slightest interest in meeting my deal - that is, whether you really want to look into the spiritual traces of the prince."

... cautious.

Guess I had a pretty good time losing to Gawayne.

It's definitely a gift to be able to switch consciousness so far in just half a day.

"... according to your terms. I'm pretty sure we're looking into Elvis' spirituality."

"Okay. I'll believe you."

Ruby only doesn't break his own-initiative attitude.

"My terms are twofold. I want you to lend me your wisdom and the power of your sister's apprentice."

…………

I shut up a lot...

It is not an unscrupulous condition. But......

"I don't have a knot for intelligence. The cooperation of the intelligence department is essential if we are to continue to fight the rank battle. When you get there, the guy in Intelligence Class A is a good idea. Don't you?"

Phil was silently awaiting my decision.

... It's too early to make a decision.

"Set terms and conditions"

"Hmm?"

"How long shall we cooperate with you? When should we or should we not cooperate with you? You can't drink the terms unless you decide around it."

"Komaki. You don't have to worry. I'm not asking you to be eight hundred if you win a rank match."

"In the first place, we didn't close this deal."

Ruby frowned faintly.

"Your bills (cards) are for this exclusive use. By contrast, my bills will last forever after this. There's a chance I'm just gonna get the information out of you, and I'm gonna break my word, right?

"I don't believe you would do that. Friends, right?"

"No, you're too thin for anything, that dialogue"

"Hina.... you're right. I can't close this deal like this. Not like this."

Ruby carves a confident grin in his mouth.

You still got something...?

"My bills are prince's information. But this is just a down payment - no, I guess it's a souvenir. There's nothing real about it."

That's it.

Ruby put his hand on his chest, as he pointed out.

"It's me. I have the right to use me. I got here sooner than anybody else, and I monopolized the information sooner than anybody else, and I had the right to use it."

Mmm, and Phil reacts.

That's...... that is.

"You're the one in the battle department who does intelligence?

"That's right. Are you crazy?"

"Weird!! Ji-kun's combo is me!!

"Yes, will you shut up for a second?"

"Mmm!!

I thought, blocking Phil's mouth, which seems to have been touched by the scales.

Sure, I think Ruby can do the same.

Above all, spirituality is powerful. I can't believe I'm transparent, I'm so intelligent I don't know why I'm in the combat department.

... but what good is Ruby in the Department of Combat doing espionage?

Intelligence students can be reflected in their grades as they are. But the Department of Combat doesn't do that.

It would be much more efficient for someone to combine and share with intelligence.

If you insist...

"- Right."

I looked at Ruby and I said:

"Ruby, you - you want to do this alone?

Pickle, and Ruby's eyebrows move.

"... what do you mean?

"I thought about it. What are the advantages of doing it yourself until intelligence? Then I came up with one."

"Heh. You want me to tell you for Korgak?

"co (...) n (...) bi (...) to (...) back (...) cut (...) et al. (...) ru (...) mind (...) matching (...) is (...) y (...)"

Ruby was silent.

Drawing stars…?

I didn't happen to have a problem because there was a guy in Intelligence named Phil.

But most students are going to combine with someone they met for the first time in this college, a stranger.

Of course, there's not much benefit to betrayal because grades can be a lottery student in a combination.

But it exists as a possibility.

It's no wonder I don't like that and want to do both combat and intelligence on my own...

"Your real purpose is to make your presence, not even the intelligence department, bigger in the information network within the school. The only reason we want to help is before the building."

That's why I didn't mind if the demands were reversed.

Even if it was only conveniently used, its' used 'means that the credibility by it is, above all, what Ruby wanted.

Because it's the lowest condition to fight through this rank fight alone.

"... I am"

Quiet, Ruby opened his mouth.

"I came alone. In that filthy neighborhood, all alone.... so do the same here. That's all."

"Okay."

I snort.

"The deal is closed. We'll work with you. You'll help us, too."

"... okay? I only think about myself, don't I? I might betray you."

"I believe you won't do that. Friends, right?"

And a thin dialogue, I said.

"... kuha. Kuhaha. Kuhahahaha..................!!

Ruby laughs, covering her face.

And

"... you, I knew it was funny. Are you really noble?"

"He's a fine little boy at home."

"Ha!...... ok. We have a deal!

Ruby got up completely.

"Nice to meet you, Jack. And Phil."

"No, sir."

… and.

Me and Ruby saw Phil at the same time I said it without getting my hair in.

""... what?

"Nah, su! I won't cooperate with you!

Ahhhhh!

Why are you wasting time here? Yikes!!

"Um... Mr. Phil?

"Hmm. I don't know what you're trying to do with a child other than me."

"What am I supposed to do..."

Trouble, that's exactly what happened.

Phil, who was pointing at me, looks at my face for a moment.

"If you say so, there's one condition."

"Conditions?"

"If you will join me here now, I will help her."

... Huh?

Here and now?

I'll make sure Ruby's right around the corner and look back at Phil again.

"Now...... here?

"Yeah. Here."

Phil closed his lid and raised his jaw slightly into the waiting position.

Seriously?

... Seriously this.

I told Ruby.

"Wow, I'm sorry... wait a minute"

"Oh, wow."

Patrol.

... this will definitely break your mood if you don't do it...

But blah, blah, I'm embarrassed...

Hmmm......

... No matter how much you try to worry about it, in the end, you can only find one answer.

There's no escape route for me.

I turned my hand around Phil's back and let him gently touch his lips.

"Ooh......!

I heard Ruby like I was impressed.

Ah damn. I'm so embarrassed already!!!

Good for the night.

If it wasn't night, Ruby would have just seen me up to my bright red face.

"Hehehe."

When I thought Phil laughed happily, he hugged me in the arm and decided to doya face Ruby.

Seeing it, Ruby laughs bitterly as if she was frightened.

"Uh, yes, yes. He said he knew. My dear Ji-kun won't get away with it. So you're here, right?

"If you know what I mean!

Phil was in a good mood for a spin.

"Well, I just finished watching my classmate's thick love scene"

"You, don't talk to other guys, seriously..."

"Wow.... You can't let go of such a delicious story easily, can you?

Uh-oh, uh-oh.

The Yankees will force me to. Ugh.

"Ma, before that. I just did. Tonight's main event."

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

Pattin '.

and the moment Ruby played her finger, it appeared.

Round crater, worn on the game floor.

It was as if it had been there from the beginning.

"Sounds like a trick..."

"What's a tezina?

"Oh, no, nothing"

Speaking of which, aren't magic tricks major here?

Incredible spirituality.

I was wondering if it was the type of technique that acts on my vision because I was making my figure transparent, but that doesn't explain that I even deluded myself into the bat echo location.

I'm curious, but even though we've formed an alliance, Ruby won't even reveal the details of spirituality.

Even I'm not going to reveal my skills.

"Look, find out what you like. I don't think the others who came first had much to gain."

Me and Phil crouched on the edge of the crater.

"... that's weird"

That's weird.

"Hmm?"

Ruby turned around unexpectedly.

"What? Have you found anything yet? The others left with their necks tilted..."

"No, 'cause this is obviously weird. Look at this. This crater, from the middle to the edge, it's all together."

The depth itself is quite shallow. That's why I didn't notice it in the distance.

Can I just say it's like Tarai... it's not a hemispheric heck like I immediately imagined when I said crater, it's like a cylindrical heck.

"So - sounds like a trail you slapped with a hammer. Is this weird?

"It's weird. Assuming you hit him with a big hammer, right? Then normally, the showgeki spreads around where I was slapped, and I think it's a heck of a lot more than where I was slapped."

"But this hasn't happened. I don't have any aftermath... I mean -"

"- It's not like a big showgeki happened, is it?

I snorted at Phil's guess.

"This is kind of like a heck of a floor because I left something heavy on the floor for a long time"

"It's heavy stuff. Ah? That's not going anywhere."

Sure, everyone who was watching Elvis' game hasn't seen anything like that.

But... there it is.

Something more intensely heavy in that moment when Elvis attacks than there are traces left here, did exist......

I got up and looked up at the night sky.

The stars were all over and blinking.

"... air"

"Hmm?"

I look at Phil.

"Phil. You've been all the way up the mountain, haven't you?

"Huh? Erm..."

"It was then. I'm in your hands..."

"... ah! Oh, yeah, yeah!

I've used my spirituality to fly high enough to cross mountains.

Although I was a little deluded because I didn't want to give Ruby the spiritual information.

"Do you remember what happened to your ears then?

"I remember. I'm Keane."

"That's it. When the pressure changes around you, that's what happens."

"... what are you talking about all of a sudden?

Ruby makes me look surprised.

"Ruby. Did you see your opponent withstand Elvis' offense for a moment in today's game?

"I saw it. I thought it was awesome."

"Didn't you notice I was holding my ear with my hand then?

"... Speaking of... Right. Is that what you just said, Kiats? So you're saying it has something to do with it?

"Barometric pressure is, well, the weight of the air. The air doesn't seem to weigh much, but it's actually just a little bit, and a lot of it weighs there. We still carry all the weight of the air on our heads.

And naturally, the closer you get to the sky, the lighter it gets. We're running out of air to carry. "

I pointed to the sky.

"Our bodies are basically adjusted to be comfortable when we're on the ground like this. So when you climb a high mountain or go to a low barometric pressure, your body reacts.

Easy to understand is the ear. There's a membrane in the ear, and the forces push each other inside and outside. Air from the outside - the barometric pressure will push, so if you don't push it back with the same force from the inside, the membrane will tear. "

"Hmm? That means... if the pressure from the outside gets weaker, the force from the inside gets stronger?

This guy is so good at remembering things.

I'm a smart guy.

"That's right. My ears will be Keane as a result of the imbalance between the forces from the outside and those from the inside."

"Heh. It was."

Phil said in a swallowing voice.

I don't know if this guy knows or not. I still don't know.

"Is that what happened to the guy Elvis hit?

"That's right. It's the opposite of what I just saw."

"I mean... not that the barometric pressure has gotten weaker - stronger?

I snort.

"Maybe that's who Elvis was attacking...

His spirituality can make the atmospheric pressure anywhere you want unusually heavy. "

If Tane were revealed, it wouldn't be that unusual.

But......

"Ha. I see. Atmospheric pressure... Can you weigh that down, you mean, air manipulating spirituality?

"No... I don't think that's all..."

If you're a spiritualist who can manipulate the air, there are as many others as there are.

[The King of Conflict], even called "The Power to Be a King," but I don't think it's a skill to that extent...

"... Ah, Ji-kun. Mr. Guard, you may have woken up."

"Right. It's tidal time..."

"Nah. You don't know what to do."

Tony, and Ruby, kicked a piece of the floor that was rolling.

"No, let's try a different approach"

"Hmm?"

"Ruby. You, you made a pipe out of the same deal I did to the other second-degrees and intelligence departments you came to, didn't you?

"I am, though.... Do you want me to set you up?

Ruby looked bad, so I laughed the same way.

"Oh, quick work. Tell that to the other second level."

And I'll tell you what it is.

"... I see"

"Will you ask me?

"Whoa, let it be.... Me too, you love it. You know, turning people around."
