29. Recruitment Period and Strange Group [2] – part 2

「Haa, understood… just a little…」

「T-Thank you…!」

Then, she took three steps back, and put distance between us.

However that – was the worst judgement.

「Ah, senpai that spot is…」

The place where she moved to was,

「Eh…? Heba!?」

The ones that I inserted amidst the exchange of blows, Second Sword – Hazy Moon. One of those inserted slashed, precisely shot the back of senpai’s head.

「Ha…?」

After a painful blow that came from outside her awareness, she fainted with her eyes rolled to the back of her head.

(W-What an unlucky person…!?)

The number of Hazy Moon that I inserted in this wide gymnasium was only a mere three. She didn’t really have to move back and put distance between us……

As I dumbfoundedly looked at the unconscious senpai,

「D-Deputy Head!? What exactly happened!?」

「…It was a slash! Look closely, it is also inserted in other places!」

「Kuu, stretcher… bring a stretcher!」

The members of the swordsmanship club hurriedly carried over a stretcher.

「Wi-Winner! Allen-Rodore!」

The referee declared the result of the match as so, while the gymnasium was in a state of turmoil.

While watching the club members carry Silty-senpai to the infirmary with a sidelong glance,

「For the time being… let’s return to the classroom.」

「Y-Yeah.」

「Un, let’s do that.」

The three of us decided to return to the classroom.

「Fuu…」

After returning to Class A, I was finally able to take a break.

「Good job, Allen. It was a disaster.」

「It was really terrible.」

「Ahaha, well it was a good experience.」

I feel like I somewhat grasped the method to break a『Defensive Sword』.

After that, we discussed about the real issue a hand – which club we were going to join.

「About that, Allen, have you decided which club to join?」

「Have you?」

Ria and Rose, simultaneously asked me.

「U-n…」

I carefully reflected on all the clubs we looked around today.

And then,

「…I think I’m not going to join any.」

I made that decision.

「Does that mean… you’re going to be independent?」

「Un, I don’t think I need to force myself to join any.」

As one of the pleasures of academy life, I wanted to participate in club activities, but…

That’s it! There wasn’t any club that seems to fit me.

(The one club I was interested in, the Swordsmanship Club, was a little off…)

Rather than joining a club just for the sake of it, I’d rather just be independent.

And then,

「I see…」

「How unfortunate…」

For some reason, Ria and Rose dropped their shoulders.

「……」

「……」

「……」

Because the two of them had a frown and were silent, the conversation flow stopped.
