7. Is your backside safe? (11)

#13 Their story: Risen de Roa’s story.

As we woke up early in the morning, Pres said cheerfully to us.

“Right, let’s go hunting for today’s meals!”

And the others who had also gotten accustomed to this lifestyle replied energetically in kind, and so we began searching for our morning food supplies.

Perhaps thankfully, stealing the teachers’ lunchboxes was limited only to dinner, compared to that, breakfast was very easy to acquire.

Although of course the lunchboxes themselves were enchanted and stacked with all sorts of magics and spells to the point where we wondered if it was really necessary to create an advanced artifact like this just for the sake of pulling this shit, but compared to lunch when the silver devil roamed, or dinner where we had to fight the teachers, it was much more peaceful.

“Right, then…”

I searched for lunchboxes where I expected them to be.

The rule for the other students was that they were to find them before school began, and if they found one they were to immediately take it to Professor Nicerwin.

And the discoverer would receive a weird ticket called an After School HighPass, and if you had one you could just leave school without having to fight the teachers.

Because of this, the day after it was announced, the other students would arrive to school a whole hour early just to find our supplies.

At this overheated frenzy of excitement, Professor Nicerwin limited the time you could come to school to after 7:30, but the fact remained that we now had a time limit to find our food.

“And that’s another today.”

As I looked around, I discovered a lunchbox nestled in the bookshelves of the library.

I immediately opened the lid and checked the contents.

“A sandwich.”

A good menu.

A combination of bread, meat and vegetables, it is a very beautiful meal that could combine all sorts of nutrients as well as taste.

“Thanks for the meal.”

And I ate it immediately.

It tastes good. It tastes so good.

After the texture of the soft bread, the crunchy vegetables dance around in my mouth.

After that, the crispy fried chicken and spicy sauce come rushing at my tastebuds, and a small happiness creeps into my heart.

It’s good. It tastes so damn good.

And so after I tasted the small happiness of my abnormal life I immediately hid away the lunchbox.

Time to carry out the perfect crime.

And so when I came back onto the roof I asked my fellow vice-pres with a dark expression.

“How many did you find today?”

“Three so far. Today doesn’t seem like a good day for us. Risen?”

“Nothing.”

I shook my head with a sigh.

I’d already long since removed the traces and scent of any food.

Just in case I’d even gone to the bathroom to check whether I had anything stuck in my teeth.

“Really?”

As I watched the vice-pres sigh as well I knew that my acting was perfect.

If my fellow vice-president, and the one who I fought with the most didn’t notice then there was no way that any of the others would either.

Perhaps maybe if the situation was normal, but in this critical situation, where everyone is accustomed to the bizarre, to this girl, I am one of her very precious comrades.

Not only her, but the others aren’t suspecting each other either.

Using this situation, I was searching for my route to survive.

I can’t say that I’m in the right here, but you guys are in the wrong as well, you know?

Just what did we learn in night study before the holidays began?

To think you forgot what you learned, your revision skills are lacking!

As a friend and comrade, giving them an unforgettable experience is my role as a friend.

And so that was how I reassured my prickling conscience, and waited for the others to return.

“Found one, pres?”

“One in the one of the second years’ classrooms. It would have been really bad if we’d been just slightly later.”

“Menu? What’s the menu?”

“What, Risen? Is the kid who didn’t even find anything the first one to check the menu?”

“Again? How come Risen can’t even find anything, not even once?”

“I know right, the fastest out of all of us have the least results?”

“Ah I’m hungry damn it! I’ll put some grunt into it so increase my share or something!”

Actually I was nearly full right now but I shouted in mock anger for the perfect act.

As if it was funny, smiles crept on a couple of faces.

Right, laugh while you can.

At least my conscience will be a bit clearer.

But someone has to do this.

Look at us. We’re still in pyjamas.

How many days have we been wearing these clothes now?

Fine, since there are cases of uniforms being worn for multiple days that’s that.

But what about underwear? Especially Karen and the other female members?

On the first day at least they pretended to care, being girls and all, but now they’ve just given up.

I heard that female soldiers or mercenaries that were out in the field for extended periods of time tended to do that, but these girls are still students?

And still in school to boot?

Although we can’t leave said school right now, but that’s just not normal, is it?

And so, I will escape.

I will escape and teach them the importance of daily life.

-No seriously, just how long are you going to go with your self-justification?

-Until I escape?

-Really… I think I made one hell of a great choice with my summoner?

I ignored Loki who was giggling hard enough to annoy me.

I needed to decide a date.

The date I would escape!

I had already learned the layout of the academy inside and out.

And I was now more or less aware of the patterns of the night-watch teachers.

Knowing that their guards were the slackest at 3-5AM, I pretended to go to the bathroom late and night and checked.

All for this I suggested that only the girls use the bathroom on the rooftop (although why a bathroom was installed on the rooftop I would never understand).

Although expressions on the others that said ‘you’ve finally grown up’ were a bit iffy to me, it couldn’t be helped.

Because this is all for the sake of my plan!

And so our life-and-death mission for lunch ended, and as always we were beaten up by the devil and when we came to it was evening.

The teachers, having more or less figured out the rules, no longer gave us our food nicely and so in order to eat, we had to engage in another bitter struggle, and we fell asleep while talking about our hopes to escape tomorrow.

Of course, I didn’t sleep.

Because today is D-day!

The target time is 4AM.

When the teachers are most exhausted and when everyone’s half in dreamland.

I sneakily woke up and moved to the tenth floor bathroom.

My escape method is simple. As a student of the summoner’s school, I escape using a summon!

True masters always hide their true strength!

And so I have never used all of Loki’s powers in any fight I have been in.
