Volume 1 Chapter 6 (1/2)
Bagiran's Roar
The next day.
It was Bagiran's loud voice that awaited me in the cla.s.sroom.
”Alright, everyone's heerrreee!”
Why are you so energetic, Sensei? It's still morning.
”Ah, my head….your voice is too loud.”
”Good to hear. Among the adventurer's there are stories told of the power of, 'Bagiran's Roar'…..!”
Luluna covers her ears and Tsurugi's eyes sparkle as she looks at Bagiran.
I understand what Luluna's trying to do, but will Tsurugi be okay?
”Kerokerokero —”
Patricia is going kerokero with a calm face.
This girl really does things in her own way.
”So, Sensei, what is the lesson for today?”
”Ah, right. Today will be a practical lesson.”
A practical lesson? I'm excited for this.
It's also a good opportunity to gauge the skill level of the others.
As I stood there thinking this, Bagiran let out a loud, ”Ah!”
”I made a mistake. Can I say it again?”
”…….Go ahead…?”
*Ahem* ”It's time for a practical leesssoooonnnn!”
Shut up!
Why did he feel the need to rephrase it!?
It didn't benefit anyone at all!
”So inspiring!!”
……Tsurugi seems to have enjoyed it.
”Keroron~”
….Patricia doesn't even seem to have noticed his yell!
But, Luluna hates it so please stop!
“Uuu……my ears…….”
“… L-Luluna! As expected you are my friend! I'm so glad we're friends!”
I desperately grab onto Luluna's hands.
“Eh? Yeah, I think of Lute as a friend too, but…… why are you saying this all of a sudden?”
”Because you had a normal reaction as I expected.”
”That's a strangely rude thing to say.”
Hmm, why did Luluna's face get so gloomy?
That’s strange?
”It was a compliment?”
”Lute-dono, there's no way that would be taken as a compliment……”
Eh, really?
”I'm sorry, Luluna!”
I apologized to Luluna.
If I did something bad, I need to apologize.
”I felt hurt! I thought Lute was saying, ”What a boring person, reacting exactly as I imagined she would.”
Th-there's no way that's what I meant!?
Nonetheless, it's not good if my words hurt my friend.
Well, I guess it would be better for me to improve her mood now…..
I try to think of a way to convince her what I said was meant as a compliment.
”Umm, Luluna that was a very unique reaction! It brought up emotions in me I couldn't even imagine, umm…..It really touched my heart.”
How about that!? I doubt it's even possible for her to feel sad anymore!
Then I looked at Luluna, and she was looking down.
I can't see her face from here, so I crouch to look at her face.
”….Pfft~”
Luluna's cheeks were puffed out as she was trying to hold back her laughter.
Was she just messing with me? Finally, Luluna burst out laughing after she can no longer hold it back.
“Ahaha, it…it touched your heart……! Wait a minute, I can't forget the best part…!”
Luluna points to my face, and continues laughing while holding her side.
”You don't need to laugh so much! I'll be the one hurt now!”
”So…sorry, Lute……You're making such an angry face now…..You were so apologetic before, it's too funny…….!”
Luluna says this and her shoulders begin to shake from trying to hold back her laughter.
Luluna is evil! I'm so annoyed!
”How long are you two going to keep joking around. Hurry up already.”
”Who's joking!?”
I object to what Bagiran said.
Now I'm really mad!
“Hmm, Lute, are you angry? You're not scared at all. Do you want me to get angry and yell some more?”
Bagiran takes a deep breath and holds it for a second.
Then, suddenly, he lets it all out at once.
”Uuoooooooo!”
It's so loud that I feel like the cla.s.sroom is shaking.
Indeed, it is an even more intense yell.
”Do you understand now?”
”Yes, Sensei. Thank you very much!”
I definitely can't underestimate this teacher either.
He taught me something good.
I've learned how to yell like Bagiran, and I turned to Luluna with a mischievous smile.
”Luluna, we need to talk!”
”Sto….stop it, Lute! If you make me laugh anymore I won't be able to breathe…….!”
Lulna's face turns red from laughter and she looks at me through teary eyes.
But, there's no way I can resist messing with her.
I take a deep breath just like Bagiran, and release it all at once in a thunderous roar.
