Hmm, you're tired.

After that, I spent a lot of time in the library, visiting cafes, magical equipment stores, armoury stores for Ren, and so on.

Len and Dorothy still seem to be bumping at the grocery store, and Misaki and I were resting on the bench one foot ahead.

I've been around a lot. It's been a long time. "

That's right.

This may be the first time I have felt so relaxed since I entered school.

Why were you so busy with kettles and all that?

"Speaking of which, how's Masaki doing in the rookie fight?

Misaki looks at me with a decent face.

"Rookie fight? Why?"

"No, actually, I was talking about rookie fights before Masaki arrived. I wonder what Misaki thinks."

"Hmm...."

Misaki wrinkles her eyebrows and thinks about what she thinks so much about.

"Well, I don't know who's going to win, and I think that this person has a role to play like someone who's been trying so hard to win, someone who makes mistakes at the heart, someone who can't do it in real life, but goes to good places. I hope that's what we can all do. Come on, do you think I'll answer your expectations?

Misaki said that with a smile.

What are you talking about?

I had no idea what Misaki was talking about.

Does each have a role? No, I know it answers my expectations, but...

What are you talking about?

"No, I heard about Masaki himself, but... there's probably some kind of horseback reputation."

Then Masaki's expression was so stunned that I was more surprised.

"Wow, me? Me or... I don't really know who I am. I guess so. I think we'll fight normally and lose normally, as everyone imagines."

Fight normally and lose normally.

Speaking of mishappiness, it seems mishappiness, but...

It has a nice personality with everyone's circle, and is exactly the chairperson type.

I can take the initiative to adjust and listen to everyone's opinions.

The grades are inside.

But it is loved and supported by thousands of people... to put it badly, the beauty of Yappo.

Still, many people will have been helped by this personality of reading Masaki's air.

I think he's a generous kid.

But I don't know what this discomfort is.

"Ah, it's too late for both of you, I'll take a look."

That said, Masaki takes a seat.

Is it the result of reading the air?

Sure, there was some awkward air flowing through.

That's how Dorothy reacted in the library earlier.

Do you want to fix that person to the extreme from other people's point of view?

I'm kind of losing my sense of masaki. It also has a dry side where you can read the air and be careful, and yet everyone can move as expected.

What kind of person is such a masaki?

It's been a long time, Mr. Gilford.

Phew, there's a voice.

There was a call for me.

The voice came from the seat where Masaki was sitting until now... from the seat where no one was sitting.

The first emotion I felt when I saw the Lord of the Voice was just anger.

"I've often been shown my face with a saw," Ellie Dordris, the "hauler"!! "

Yes, the man who raided the library's basement was there.

Worst criminal ever.

"Oh no, did they hate you so much? Oneesan, I'm shocked."

Ellie exaggerates.

The victim suffers from extra epilepsy.

"If you can't get killed that much, why don't we kill him now?

Do you want to do it now?

No, but I can't help but lose some important clues.

"Wow ~ I'm scared. Are all the kids so scared right now?

This guy's gone all over the place.

I swallow my anger and ask calmly.

"--What the hell are you doing here? He went out of his way to see me."

When Ellie removes the soft-serve cream from the black space, she accidentally licks it.

What are you relaxing about? This guy is so frustrated.

"Don't be crunchy. I just wanted to say hello. You don't have to be so evil."

"Do you think I'll accept it politely?

"I don't think so, but... I don't know anymore, right? I knew he was right and he was a little cheeky."

That guy...?

"Oh, my God, you know me."

"That's better than anyone else, Hero."

Hero...!? Did you just say hero?

No, it's also possible that you're just saying that because your name is Gilford...

Ellie laughed at my surprised face.

"Don't be surprised. I told you before, he was right."

You think he knows who I am?

So maybe it's been a thousand years.

"Who the hell is that?! You're the one I know!? Answer me!"

"I can't say that, not yet. I got a message from him today."

"Huh? I can't tell you, but I don't know who he is.

"That's right."... we're in a bit of a mess right now, and we can't move very much. So you can enjoy the rookie fight without worrying about us. "

-What about it? What do you mean by that?

"Why do you have to tell me that?"

Ellie looks at this while licking the soft-serve cream.

"I don't know, I... Well, I don't hate you myself, but as I said, this is a message from him. He wants you to sing a song about your youth, so I really don't want to be hostile."

You don't want to be hostile for this period?

Isn't that impossible when the demons get involved?

"You're licking me. If you're listening to him, you know he's already within my range.

Ellie looks back at my threats.

"It's each other. If I were you, your neck would fly next to that black-haired girl."

‥ ‥ ‥

"Anyway, that's all there is to the message. Aren't your people coming home soon? I told you, you can do whatever you want. Youth is short."

That said, Ellie disappeared into the black space when she did the same throwing kiss last time.

What the hell was that?

You want to sing me a song about youth?

You know me, and you know me a thousand years ago?

What is Abyss?

Is it closer to me than you can imagine?

"It's finally decided. This idiot's bad taste took me a while."

As soon as Dorothy and the others return, Dorothy's whisper begins.

"I don't think so."

I take a big breath and get a rough breath.

"What were you buying?

This is it.

Dorothy takes the book from the bag.

The one with the cute flower decorations.

"A souvenir for Belle. She likes books. And when Ren says it's better to decorate your hair... it's really going to stop."

"Nice hair decoration, Gil!? Am I wrong!?

Ren desperately sought my consent.

"Unfortunately, Belle would be happier than a hairspray."

"Look at that! I don't know anything at all, so what's wrong with Gil? I don't look good."

"Really, are you okay? When you were with me, you were fine. What happened?

Apparently, even though she was breathing calmly, she couldn't hide her expression or complexion.

"Oh, no, it's nothing."

That's right, don't bother.

We can't just let everybody worry right now. We're all in a rookie fight.

If they declare that they will do something, they declare themselves unable to do anything.

Besides, it's supposed to be no use to the school anymore... so it's just for me.

I mean, I was really worried about them and I wasn't enjoying my youth.

- Seriously, who is he?

After all, I didn't know what to think, and I stopped thinking.

For now, just enjoy your time with these guys.

Hopefully, he won't show up for a while...

Next, I can't kill you.
