Chapter 223 - Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [20] (2/2)

I presented two possibilities with an expression and a tone which suggested I was troubled by which choice to make.

Of course, I don’t want to do such a terrible thing.

This is a bit of a meanness to encourage them to reflect on their actions which has gone a little overboard.

And then,

「W-What a cruel thing to think about… Are you still a human being?」

「You’re a d-demon! A devil! An Allen!」

Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai pointed their index fingers at me with a pale face, and attacked me as such.

(“Allen” isn’t an abuse though…)

While thinking that in my mind, I replied with a serious expression.

「Hidden recordings like these can be exploited in many different ways. Do you finally understand that?」

「Uh… Well, it’s… I’m sorry. We have gone a little overboard with our pranks this time.」

「I-I’ve reflected on it, so please show mercy though…」

Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai apologized with their shoulders dropped.

「Haa… There’s no next time, okay?」

When I said that and returned the spy camera,

「A-Allen-kun, you are a man!」

「I am grateful though!」

They patted their chests down with relief and expressed their gratitude.

After pulling through the senpais’ prank easily, the regular meeting “Lunch party” finally began.

However, the lunch party which was supposed to be fun, was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere today.

First of all, the usual mood maker Ria was silent.

(I wonder what’s going on. When we came to the academy together this morning, she was as usual, but…)

Right around morning homeroom, she suddenly lost her energy.

And the president’s behaviour was still strange.

She continued to do strange things today as well, like repeatedly glancing at me and turning away the moment our eyes met.

On the other hand, Rose was eating lunch as usual without any particular concern.

Also, Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai seemed to be enjoying this indescribable subtle atmosphere.

In such a situation, I tried to bring up a conversation to everyone to lighten the mood a little, but…

Unfortunately, my poor social skills couldn’t break the deadlock.

After overcoming the regular meeting somehow, afternoon class commenced and ended safely.

And after classes, I devoted myself to the activities of the practice-swing club as usual.

「FUH! HA! SEI!」

As I was swinging my sword feeling good as usual,

(…What?)

I saw trouble occurring at the main gate.

(Should I go take a look?)

There’s been a lot of disturbances lately.

Maybe the Black Organization has come to attack again.

And when I turned up at the front gate, there was a completely unexpected person there.

「Eh?」

「Oh, it’s Allen.」

The person who was arguing with the guard was,

「I-Idol?」

「Yes, it’s been a while.」
