Back in the men's quarters, we first sweated in the bathroom and then headed to the dining room.

The same was true in the bathroom, but the dining room is also somewhat noisy.

(... what's wrong?)

The reason was immediately found out.

"Hey, did you hear that?

Rumor has it the Demon King is back?

I heard stories like this.

"Oh, I heard. I heard.

But that's a story, isn't it?

"I hear that's not true.

You heard the explosion after school, didn't you?

Actually, that's the devil's work, isn't it?

There were rumors like this among the students in the dormitory.

Did someone intentionally flush it?

Has the story been leaked from somewhere?

Unscrutinized information is walking alone and turning into incorrect information.

"If you had a case like that, you'd be making a fuss by now, right?

"That's why the instructors are so busy.

Can we students hear more tomorrow?

"Hmm.

If the demon king shows up, I'll kill him instantly!

"Ha ha, then I'll have to call you a hero"

There is an unusual conversation going on.

I guess I'm not so sad because the person I'm talking to thinks about this story to the extent that it's rumored.

"Come on junior, don't stand there. Let's just eat.

"... right"

Falt told me.

I had a tray to pick up dinner and headed to the counter.

"Welcome home, everyone!

Nerfa welcomed us with a grin that healed our tired bodies.

This housekeeper (maid of honor) is always on the lookout.

She is still a housekeeper (maid of honor) mirror, even though she will be tired of her daily heavy labor.

"Don't let fatigue blow you away when you're watching Nerfa smile"

"What happened to you suddenly?

Nerfa tilted her head with a white kachusha on it.

"Come on, Mars junior, are you dictating Mr. Nelfa?

Saying that, Falt's been spinning his arm around my neck.

"I don't mean that at all, though?

"You don't have to sound light-hearted."

A voice of a werewolf (Wearwolf) following with a musty face.

It's a brilliant combination without a meeting.

"I can't believe Mr. Mars dictated to me...

What the hell should I tell you in times like this? "

With his hands on his cheeks, Nelfa looked pure and illuminated.

The flag color is poor as it is now.

"... by the way Nerfa, what's your recommendation today?

I decided to change my mind.

"We have a special menu today!

Then Nerfa was back in the face of the perfect housekeeper (maid) as if it had been a lie that lit up until earlier.

"Yesterday, the Dean of the Academy told us that Mr. Mars and the others had been in a lot of trouble with the request (Quest).

We have a special Nerfa "Special Sandwich" for all of you!

Of course, you can also prepare a regular menu?

Here's a surprise from the Dean of the Academy.

I'd like to try it.

But the words "special and sandwich" evoke my trauma.

That fear Rafi made...

"Mars, are you shivering?

Exactly what he said about his hair.

But by eating Nerfa's specials here, I guess I can get rid of this trauma?

I have no basis, but I felt that way.

"Can I have that?

"Yes! Please wait!

Once down to the cooking area behind the counter.

He hastily brought me the specialty.

And I put the white plate I had in my hand on the counter.

"I'll hang the magic syrup here!

When you squeeze the container with the black syrup that you had in your right hand with both hands,

A doth black syrup popped out, twitching the sound of bubbo.

The white sandwich stains black.

(Oh, that's crazy...)

This dish is reminiscent of that one Rafi made.

"Now it's done!

Go ahead, Mr. Mars!

Glowing, he put a knife on the fork, a black-dyed plate and a glass of water on top of the tray.

"Use a knife and fork because your hands will get dirty"

"Hey, that's a wild dish for Nelfa."

"Yes! Because it's a confident one!

Nerfa strained her chest with a hunch.

That's all Nerfa's got to say, believe it or not.

"Would you mind if Mr. Sail and Mr. Falt had the same thing?

"I'm not on a request (quest)?

"This is a corner opportunity, so be sure to join us"

Don't recommend it for long.

I guess this is so confident.

"Well, I guess I'll get that too"

"I'm the same."

They both ordered the same specials as me.

I thought I'd say no because it looks horrible, but if it's what Nelfa serves, I guess he thinks everything tastes good.

I believe in Nerfa too, but I can't feel safe until I try to put it in my mouth.

Everyone receives the food.

And now everyone's in their seats side by side with the same product.

"So you want some?"

Falt put it first in his mouth.

I'll take a bite, and then I'll eat more.

I can't stop my hand with a knife and a fork.

"Mars, aren't you going to eat?

You thought weird of me watching Falt staring, Sail's blue eyes looking at me.

"Yes, no, I thought Falt was eating it looking delicious"

"Ooh, that's delicious! This is one of Nelfa's dishes!

That's boulder specialty!

I admired Momogu as he moved his mouth.

Listening to such Falt's words, Sail's throat moved gobbly and he wore it as it was when he stabbed the sandwich with a fork.

"...... Huh!!

Sayle's ears stood piqued.

I can't stop eating my hands and mouth.

If this is the case, you won't even have to ask what you think.

"... thank you"

If you look at the two of us, you'll know there's no problem.

This is not a murder sandwich.

It's Nerfa's cooking.

I'm ready.

I cut the corner of the sandwich with a knife.

Even smaller than bite size.

Stab it with a fork and carry it to your mouth.

The moment a shard of it enters your mouth.

……

I was struck like a current ran into my brain.

Bliss is transmitted from the tongue to the whole body.

I can't describe this with the words delicious, etc.

Earliest - level of pleasure in eating.

Nerfa taught me again that food is wonderful.

"This was fantastic."

"That guy is really awesome"

"Oh, Mr. Nelfa is the king of cooking,"

Three more white plates on the desk.

I got the utmost satisfaction.

My trauma against Murder Sandwich seemed to have been overwritten.

Then we took our seats and went to leave a plate on the counter.

Sayle is pretending to shake her thin blue tail.

During the meal, I may actually have been in a pretty good mood.

"Gentlemen, how was your special menu?

"Words make it stale, but it was the best"

"Tastes better than anything I've ever eaten"

Nerfa smiled happily when she saw me and Sail's words and the empty plate.

"Thank you!

I'm glad you said that. "

"Mr. Nelfa is the king of this continent, isn't he?

He's the king of cooking.

No, maybe God's rebirth. "

"Mr. Falt is a great man."

The boulder Nerfa also smiled bitterly.

Then we left the dining room.

Then I heard several students who had been wandering near the entrance to the front door.

Looks like we're talking rumors again.

"You're making a lot of noise."

"Isn't that right?

Demon kings and demons are characters in our generation. "

As I went up the stairs, I started talking about that.

"A demon must be strong..."

What Sail said was what I was thinking, too.

"I know you're not as strong as the Demon King, aren't you?

Falt answered.

How powerful was the Demon King?

"I'd rather fight the Demon King than the Demon Man anyway."

"Ha, I can't believe you want to fight the Demon King, Mars is more of a combat addict than me (Battle Junkie)"

"Doesn't Falt want to try it?

Wouldn't it be natural to want to try and fight the strong?

"Right.

I'd like to fight, but I don't want to be killed. "

I smiled niggardly and replied with a floating attitude.

It's hard to tell if it's because of that or if it's genuine.

"You might even fight with such a thing."

The movement of the tail that was shaking stopped.

"What's going on?

"... I thought if I fought such a monster right now, it would kill me."

Sail with a harsh look on his face.

The expression looked full of bitterness.

"Be strong.

Stronger than now. "

Look straight at me, Sail.

I felt a strong willingness in those eyes and words.

Will to be really strong.

"At least you can be stronger than you are now."

"... oh.

At least be strong enough not to pull your leg. "

Whose leg is Sail pulling?

But if you have someone you want to target, it would be a good thing.

I used to follow my master's back, too.

When there's a chaser, people can look forward.

"Nice.

Seeing where juniors are so motivated,

I'm kind of dying to train you, too. "

Falt is also greedy for strength, I guess.

"That's right, Senior Falt.

With Senior Alicia's permission, you'll fight me, won't you?

"Training is conditional.

I don't know if this is the case.

In any case, the Student Council (us) is going to be busier than it is now. "

The student council's busy?

"No way, the student union will also be driven out into the battle against the Demons?

"No, I'm not.

I just thought this noise could be a hang-up and there could be trouble between the students. "

Why not?

Are you saying that because of the Demons, there will be discord among the students?

If they take hostages, it could be a pain in the ass.

In this case, I was sometimes exposed to suspicious ghosts, but that was because there were enemies inside humans.

It is also in the form of hostages being taken and threatened.

But taking measures should definitely reduce the trouble.

There shouldn't be any greater problems within the College than being protected by the power of the Dean of the College.

The question is, when did you leave the college?

If there are no extra circumstances, you may not be allowed to go out.

"If nothing happened, I'd never have crossed it."

When Falt told me to cut the story.

We got to the third floor.

"Are you guys on this floor?

"Oh, well, then, Senior Falt"

"Excuse me."

"Bye, friendly juniors.

And Sail, you just have to keep moving forward at your own pace.

Don't be in too much of a hurry. "

To Sail, who said he wanted to be strong, Falt sent Yale.

"Ugly."

Sail snorted firmly at the words.

Falt waved gently at us and went up the stairs.

We go back to our rooms, too.

(... trouble between students)

As I fell asleep on the bed, I was thinking back to what Falt said.

That this is an issue for the entire College.

In the words of Falt, I feel strongly aware of that.

This college is inhabited by many.

This college also has acquaintances from those who can call themselves Rafi to Larnia and Ellie, Cozette to Sail, Alicia and Falt to the Twins, Canedo and friends.

If it's important, there are definitely more things you want to protect.

That's why if anyone tries to take this place, I want to do everything in my power to protect it.

No matter what means the enemy has used.

Only the will was firmly entrenched in me, and I fell asleep, wrapped in the warmth of a warm bed.
