Chapter 3. Aah… I’m screwed… (3)

3.5 Their Story

[1]Hawel Ril Rein: Eh, what’s this… I’m screwed…

A blonde hair that flows down to the shoulders.

A face that might be mistaken as a woman’s.

Lastly, a voice that is able to enchant countless women of the empire. That is me, Hawel Ril Rein.

And… Today, today is the day I get to teach my juniors as a subst.i.tute for the great teacher! And in my right hand, there is… the nightmare from the time when I was a child, the weapon that I had wanted to hold all my life. I have the ultimate weapon that the instructor calls the bat in my hand!

Ahh… the feeling of the bat in my hand is simply indescribable. It’s even better than the time when I first touched the hand of a n.o.ble maiden.

And a little later… I forgot that feeling completely, and closed my mouth.

If I were to summarize what I was looking at with one word… Scary?

What the h.e.l.l? I remember doing the running exercise as a kid… It was a training in which I learned to not trust anyone. It only continued for a month though… And from what I heard, these kids were under the instructor for 3 years… No, before that.

“Huaaa!”

“Chains!”

“…Waves!”

What, is this the apocalypse? The famous Ragnarok? The earth is turning to chains, life swords are flying everywhere, and those energies turn into waves.

If I remember correctly, two of them’s 17, and one’s 16? Wait, isn’t that around the time when I came in? Why do they look like top-cla.s.s members of the Organization already?

“Surprised?”

“S, senior?!”

When I turn around in surprise, I can see Cia, my senior. She was one of the generation that the instructor dubbed “the most dangerous generation of them all”, who all became very high ranked in the Organization.

She was also someone who came to the instructor’s training occasionally when I was there. When I began to work in a host club, I met her several times to exchange info. What should I say… she’s quite scary.

“Mm… The ones this time’s quite special.”

She says that with a smile… hey, senior, your gaze towards the girls over there’s quite scary? Makes me want to erase you?

No, I get what you feel about the instructor, but the instructor isn’t a lolicon? No, before that, I don’t see him loving anyone any time soon?

“Ah, yeah.”

“…Right? They seem special? They must be special to the instructor as well…”

Beep~ beep~ beep~

Danger! Danger! The senior’s getting dangerous! A student might die at this raatttteeeeee!

“I, I’m the subst.i.tute instructor!”

I tried to be brave. Dear bat, give me strength! Let me become a proper instructor at this moment!

“Yeah?”

The senior’s eyes curved upwards. I’ve met many women as a host, but… I rarely get to see anyone with a smile this charming.

…But I only get to see that smile from her when the instructor is involved?

Gulp.

I swallowed out of nervousness. S, should I ask for forgiveness? I should, right? The thing is, I’m in the General Affairs Department right now, but I’m also in the Information Department in terms of gathering info.

But since I often get to talk with high cla.s.s n.o.bles secretly as well, I live in the Spying Department… In any case, I have a lot of bosses. And one of them just happens to be my senior… She’s also the person who covered up a lot of my mistakes, which means she could also be the person to drag me away into oblivion in an instant…

When I swallowed once more, senior pat my shoulders and smiled.

“Yeah… I can see why teacher made you into a subst.i.tute instructor. Well, I don’t really want to do anything to my juniors, anyway.”

Mm… Is it just me, or did I just hear her say “for now.” at the end? I just misheard, right? Right?

I felt a little scared even after the senior left. I thought things were going to end with just that, but.

“…Where’s the instructor?”

The black haired girl asked me this with an extremely cold face. I was surprised for a moment, but I smiled in the end.

“He went on a business trip.”

“Then you are?”

Mm… How shall I respond to this arrogant child’s question?

“I… What should I say… I’m your subst.i.tute instructor, as well as your senior.”

The three kids exchanged glances, nodded, and asked me this all at once.

“””What about breakfast, then?”””

“Eh? W, well… We all eat?”

Once I said that, I felt an intense murderous intent, which I had not felt in a long time.

“…Why did we suffer so much in the morning, then?”

“…Why didn’t you say anything?”

“Just die.”

W, wait! It’s just breakfast! is what I’d like to say, but I was like that too! I forgot about it because I haven’t starved in a long time?! No, before that, that girl! She just told me to die?!

Surprise Q&A Session.

Q1 I just lifted my hands to defend myself. Mm… What do I have in my right hand?

A1 A bat.

Q2 What is the typical response to seeing a bat?

A2 The survival instinct inside you awakens.
