Chapter 1 - Room Wars of Chaos
Part 1
”Ohhh My friend, young maidens Do you truly intend to leave me behind?”
Reaching out with tre arms and a pallid demeanor, the petite blue-eyed blonde pleaded hoarsely
At first glance, one er than us students; however, she—Charlotte B Lord—was actually Midgard's chief administrator
As the principal, she occupied the clock tower's top floor with her office and private roo with a couple others, wehere the whole time until the situation settled down outside
”We won't forget you Principal”
The silver-haired girl, Iris Freyja, tearfully bid her goodbye
”Tia had a very happy time We made wonderful memories”
The young girl with little red horns on her head, Tia Lightning, had her eyes completely wet
”Thank you for your hospitality”
My younger sister, Mononobe Mitsuki, bowed deeply and thanked her
”This sure brings back a lot of e faht?”
Ariella Lu sirl next to her, Ren Miyazawa, spoke next:
”M up late with everyone was not bad”
Nodding, Ren seemed a little reluctant to leave
However, the rest of us all showed a mixture of relief and exhaustion on our faces
”Finally, we can get back to a life of routine”
Tossing her long blonde hair with her hand, Lisa Highwalker sighed
”Yes Although living together is fun, not having any private ti”
Firill Crest agreed with Lisa She looked very sleepy and was rubbing her eyes
”Though I have no right to complain—I believe this kind of lifestyle will lead to one's decline if continued More importantly, it's a bad influence for Zwei's education”
The cross-dressing girl speaking in upright posture was Jeanne Hortensia Since she was borrowing
”bAd inFlUenCE What does ThAt mEAn?”
The youngest of the group, the purple-haired girl shi+on Zwei shi+nomiya, tilted her head in puzzlement
Next to her, Kili Surtr Muspelheiht and said:
”I a this place too It's hard to ether”
Hearing that, Jeanne explained to shi+on that ”bad influence refers to irumble ”how rude” to Jeanne
”Noise is not toeither”
Next, the girl who looked like a smaller version of Kili—Vritra as currently in human form—murmured
S wryly at everyone, I—Mononobe Yuu—extended my hand towards Charlotte
”Thanks for looking after us, Charl”
Charlotte proceeded to grablike she was about to break into tears
”P-Please Don't go If you're not here, who's going to stay up all night to play games with me—O!?”
However, Charlotte's head was pushed down before she could finish This was the doing of her secretary standing behind her, Mica-san
”Please do not be selfish, Charlotte-saardsormr has been repaired There is no reason to keep everyone here any longer”
Dressed in a lared at Charlotte
”B-But I still have to supervise my friend—”
”Subjecting Mononobe-san to house arrest was to prevent hion ed color However, now that all of theon ht now, none of the other students have shown signs of their dragoncolor Hence, there should not be any proble him to return to school life Further to this incident still require your stanature, Charlotte-sama”
Showing a surprised gaze, Charlotte pouted in a sulk
”I-It's true that they can return to school life But there's another issue if I let theht happen to the young maidens”
”In light of this issue, all of theirls dormitories, will officially transfer to live in Mitsuki-san's quarters Infor happened while they continued living in the girls dormitories”
After saying that, Mica-san looked at me
”Further into contact with girls from other classes In the event that you were to cause their dragon ain”
”—I-I understand”
I could not help but gulp in the face of Mica-san's pressure and nodded fir I had been warned many times in detail already
”No problem I will make sure to keep Nii-san under my watchful eyes”
Mitsuki took a step forward and hugged ainstme flustered, Mitsuki did not seem to rown closer
Seeing this situation, Iris frantically raised her hand
”I atch Mononobe carefully to prevent affairs!”
”Affairs”
I was troubled already but even erous comments could be heard
”If any girl dares make a move on my Yuu, I will have her body remember the consequences Fufu I wonder which move should I use?”
Kili s
”He is not yours, Kili-san Should you dare to do anything inappropriate, you would be the one placed in isolation, understood?”
”Isolation Do you seriously think you can deprive me of my freedom?”
Kili glared back at Lisa with a fearless expression At that moment, Firill interjected
”There there You have to listen to Lisa carefully What she said just noas out of concern for you, so please interpret it as her sloar up to you, Kili-chan”
Hearing that, both Lisa and Kili went red and cried out at the same time
”Please don't add weird interpretations!”
”Don't you start calling me Kili-chan too!”
The tense atmosphere immediately turned inconclusive Mica-san smiled wryly
”I apologize for i such trouble upon you I shall lendprocess too”
”Definitely, e task—Well, I have very few belongings so I don't mind”
Ariella glanced suggestively at Firill
”Mm Firill will probably need to work a hundred times harder than us”
Ren concurred She was looking at Firill with eyes filled with pity
”Firill's roo!”
Tia spread her hands in a forceful gesture to indicate the vastness of Firill's book collection
With everyone staring at her, Firill scratched her cheek while breaking out in cold sweat
”W-Well Bridges will be crossed when encountered”
Then she slowly approached me and placed her hand on my shoulder
”Mononobe-kun, I' forward to your contribution”
”You're going to have me take care of it!”
Although I already expected it, I still exclaimed loudly in protest, extremely exasperated
Despite having just survived an intense battle , it looked like ain
Hopefully, I won't end up with nation
Part 2
”Phew”
Looking up at the blue sky with scattered white clouds, I sighed
Today the sky was clear with a very bright sun, but I avoided direct sunlight by staying in the shade of a fire escape staircase
Although not as co in an air-conditioned room, the breeze from the shore could still bloay the heat
”How peaceful”
Listening to unseen birds, I nantly
Ever since NIFL iard—which could actually be called a war between the two sides—four days had passed since that major incident
Although the landed NIFL troops withdrew after retrieving their destroyed unered everywhere
But even so, Midgard had returned to peace Compared to the tis had calmed down much faster
This was probably because the eneard had not suffered any casualties
Although I did not knohat kind of after and diplomatic activities Charlotte had to do specifically, the various superpowers apparently withdrew their demands to have Charlotte exert full control over hu her authority
Consequently, NIFL no longer had any urgency to take out Charlotte and they generously accepted Midgard's demands
Midgard's dee incurred by NIFL's attack Apart fro too
The eye in space looking down upon us froed itsobt already to watch a different scene
”Oh—! Mononobe, so there you are!”
While I was looking out at the sky, I heard a voice fro above
I looked up to see Iris staring down at htly displeased
”Jeez, Mononobe Firill-chan is looking for you, y'know? Slacking off is not allowed”
Iris scolded me with arms akimbo However, I already had an excuse prepared
”I' a break I did make dozens of trips between the entrance and the second floor already while carrying boxes filled with books”
I waved my exhausted arms and explained the necessity of rest to Iris
Today, I was granted special per, I had been helping Firill move house the whole time
Firill used her rooe and apparently lived in Lisa and Tia's room instead Indeed, Firill's room was not a realm fit for human survival
Rather than towers, the piles of books reaching the ceiling were more akin to walls that divided the cra the room into a labyrinthine space
Although there were gaps large enough for a single person to pass through, accidentally touching a wall of books could cause a collapse, hence there was no guarantee of safety
Gingerly as though handling explosives, I first disassembled the walls of books, packed the books into cardboard boxes, then moved them to the dorm entrance I had done this dozens of ti
To race was that autonos froirls dorm to Mitsuki's place If I had to make trips to Mitsuki's dorh to
”Sigh I-Is it that big of a job? It looks like it's still not over yet?”
Iris looked a bit intimidated
”I think it's almost half done now I should be finished by sundown or so”
”If you have the time, I'd like your assistance too But it looks like I should hurry up with my part so that I can help you out instead”
I wanted to tell the wryly sreat help”—But to be honest, so me the whole time
Iris was standing on the landing half a floor up—And I was looking up at her Hence, no hs between her skirt and her kneesocks It seemed like I could even see under her skirt if I were to shi+ft le
”Umm, Iris”
I felt guilty for staying silent, so I was going to tell Iris that she was currently standing at a bad location
”What's wrong, Mononobe?”
However, just as Iris inclined her head in puzzleust of wind blew across the fire escape
Her uniform skirt puffed out then the hem slowly flipped—
”Hyau!?”
Iris frantically used both hands to hold down her skirt hem However, the pure white fabric under her skirt had already been imprinted clearly in my eyes
Surrounded by an e and silent atmosphere, we stared at each other
”Mononobe, you're blushi+ng”
Clutching her skirt hehtly, Iris spoke quietly
”No You're the one who's blushi+ng, Iris”
I ell aware that hly red as though she had just taken a hot water bath
”Did you see it?”
”Well—Umm, I'm sorry”
Scratching ized
”Uize”
”I don't?”
”No—Because it's you, Mononobe”
Seeing Iris nod shyly, I held my breath
It was possible that my face was now redder than hers Since it would be very eainst the side of my mouth
”Well luckily, at least you're wearing it today”
I ain coone to school without re to wear panties
”I-It's not like I forget to wear it every single day!”
Iris answered with a pout The mood went back to normal—I smiled
”Saying it like that et”
”Ooh You're so bad, Mononobe The fact that you peeked at ot that?”
Blushi+ng red, she stuck out the tip of her tongue and i
”Please let me off the hook”
”Fufu, just kidding Then I' back first”
While Iris waved to me with a smile, I answered ”okay”
After seeing Iris of, I looked at the blue sky again However, as soon as I sahite cloud, the ie of white fabric, i it impossible for me to calm down
”—Nothing else I can do Time to head back too”
I originally wanted to take a longer break, but ti was the goal
I went up the steel staircase and returned to the corridor of the second floor of the girls dorm
My classmates from Brynhildr Class all had their roo well, I walked past and glanced at them
The doors to rooress were open Cardboard boxes were piled up by the doors
Lisa and Tia's room was already cleared out Neither of thes at the entrance
Ariella and Ren were in the process of packing up a desktop co unit Since Ariella had s, it was probably Ren's
—Sure enough, the girls with roo out
Things were most likely okay on their end, but Iris roomed on her own
Since she looked like she wanted help, I was very curious about her progress
But as soon as I approached Iris' roo to worry about
”—Iris-san, you are too sloppy Please categorize things properly and label the contents clearly on the outside of the boxes Otherwise, it will turn into a mess when you unbox them, do you understand?”
”Umm, yes, I understand”
I could hea Mitsuki and Iris' voices froh the ajar door to see Mitsuki issuing directions to Iris
It looked like she had co slowly Initially afterblue, Mitsuki had feeling unwell, but she seeuess I did not need to help Iris
Although I hoped for assistance with Firill's move, since Jeanne and Kili's presence had not been disclosed to ordinary students yet, I could not ask theirls dorm to help out
I went to Firill's rooain—Or rather, her book repository
Adjacent to the door on both sides were a great nu books
According to Iris, Firill was apparently looking for er, I looked into the room
However, I was greeted by a scene that was totally off from my expectations
Things had i at the doorway, I was able to see the situation in the roo squarely in the center of the roo a book in her hand
”Sigh”
Sighing, I entered the room Firill looked up at me
”Oh, Mononobe-kun—Sheesh, where did you go?”
”I went for a 'self-directed break'”
”In other words, slacking off, bad guy”
Firill pouted adorably
Next, I pointed at the paperback in her hand
”I apologize for that—But all things considered, I'ot to do your part too, Firill”
Firill had been reading the whole tireatly increased
”Hmm I did intend to help out properly too, you know? It's just that I soh an old book I've read before”
”Fine, you're forbidden fro the move”
”No way—”
Firill expressed her discontent
”Not allowed I' out voluntarily, so you have to obey my demands too”
I declared with my arms akimbo, but for some reason, Firill looked confused
”Eh? I did intend to reward you properly, you know?”
”R-Really?”
Surprised, I asked in response
Speaking of rewards frohthe punitive expedition against Basilisk To rewardup the conflict between Mitsuki and Lisa, Firill had brought Iris and the rest of the girls into the bath while I was using the hot spring
”Oh, Mononobe-kun Your face is turning red Are you looking forward to so?”
Firill looked up atsmile
”Uh, it's not like that—”
”—Go ahead and look forward to it, Mononobe-kun”
When I denied in fluster, Firill interrupteda secret
”Uh What on earth are you planning to do?”
”Fufu, I' I'll do anything no matter what”
With Firill's serious gaze upon me, I could not help but feel my heart pound faster
”Anything no matter what I don't think you should ht?”
I used ned a calm expression while I warned Firill
”Don't worry I've already thought it through properly I said it only because it's for you, Mononobe-kun, so don't worry”
These words unsettled aze
What surfaced in my mind was still the event on the volcanic island Back then, I was in the hot spring, hugged by Firill in the nude Recalling that soft and elastic sensation, hts were scattered all over the place
”E-Even if you say that suddenly”
”That's why you should give it soht But if you don't hurry, I'll decide on my own”
S into a box The ain
”Oh okay”
I nodded and picked up a cardboard box filled with books
However, due to the wavering in my heart, I accidentally tripped over some books by my feet
”Ack—”
I lost balance slightly and my shoulder leaned into a wall Normally, this would not be a proble up to the ceiling
The books above collapsed and came down like an avalanche
”Woah”
Shocked, Firill looked up at the falling books
”Firill!”
I put down the box I was carrying and used my body to shi+eld Firill
Many books fell on er stand and ended up falling towards Firill
Boing, the instantsoft, my vision turned completely black
Knowing that I was buried by books, I struggled under the heavy weight
”Mmm”
Next, I heard a sweet voice nearby for some reason Due to htening the load Thus, I was able to escape fro my arms
After I got rid of soht entered—I found Firill and I gazing into each other's eyes up close
This posture looked as though I had pinned her down on her back And where my face had been buried was the valley in her massive bust
”Thank you, Mononobe-kun Another favor I have to return”
Blushi+ng, Firill smiled
”No, you don't have to It was ”
Concious ofred, I shook my head stiffly
”Really? But it's a rare chance—Then I'll first return the favor of helping me put my room in order”
With slight disappointment, Firill wrapped her arms around my neck with a seductive expression
”Firill?”
As I looked at her in puzzlement, Firill whispered to me in a sweet voice
”What would you like to do, Mononobe-kun? If you don't hurry up and tell ive you my treasured present”
Pulled by Firill's arms, I leaned closer in her direction However, ere not face to face My head rested on Firill's chest with her uniforainst the tip of my nose
”Hey, what are you doing—”
”Boys enjoy burying their face between boobs, don't they? I read that from a book before”
”W-What kind of book did you read!?”
When I asked that, Firill looked a little flustered
”N-Not the dirty type, okay? Just ordinary shounenidea”
”So reading books of that kind is e”
I sained my composure a little
”Because—I do need to nity, you know?”
”In that case, doing this would be bad, right?”
I brought up the fact that ere pressed together intimately, but she shook her head
”This is fine, since you areselected me, Mononobe-kun, you must show more princely self-awareness You need to take responsibility properly”
Seeing her serious gaze, I could not help but fall silent
Although I wanted to retort, that would probably prompt Firill to proceed with an unexpected counterattack
Changing the color of the girls' dragon h contact, this was beyond the point of no return Although it was an eency situation at the tions turned Ds into ht not lose their powers even after reaching adulthood If things really ended up like that, it would becoard It was possible that I had already warped their lives greatly
”Firill Umm—”
”You don't intend to take responsibility, Mononobe-kun?”
Seeing Firill a little worried, I shook my head to reassure her
”No, that's not true I touched you of my oill, Firill I will take responsibility for all proble within my power”
I asserted strongly and entle as she spoke with a giggle
”Oh, didn't you warn against lightly clai?”
”I'htly either”
”Really? Good to know”
Firill looked reassured then hugged htly
”M, I still haven't sorted out all kinds of circus properly with everyone—”
Sandwiched between her warm and soft breasts, I spoke hastily The body warrance fillingme lose my sanity
Firill then loosened her hug and stroked the hair on the back of my head
”Very well Let's conclude here for today”
”Thanks a lot”
Filled with embarrassment, I lifted my head from Firill's chest
”However, youtime, you know? Oh, there's a bump there”
Firill warned while strokingbook It was slightly painful to the touch
”What do you mean by out of time—”
”Resolution will not wait for you Although straightening out this room is a lot of work True trouble will come afterwards”
Firill cocked her head with a mixture of worry and anticipation
”Afterwards?”
”Yes, Mononobe-kun You are about to face an iht be a bit heavy for you right now I will be assisting you Rest assured”
Although Firill spoke with confidence, I still felt uneasy
”What kind of choice?”
”—Secret Revealing it noould be unfair However You'll understand if you give it a little thought”
Firill only gave me a cryptic answer
In the end, no ive a clear answer I tried thinking on my own but to no avail
However, just as she predicted, after the girls finished theirto turn into a time of tribulations
Part 3
”—Mononobe! You prefer me, don't you, Mononobe?”
Iris leaned forward and asked me
”Mononobe Yuu, you said that it felt reassuring to be by my side, didn't you?”
Lisa looked at reement
”Yuu is Tia's husband and must be next to Tia!”
Bouncing over toOn the opposite side, Ren pulled ently
”Onii-chan, are I no good?”
”Mononobe-kun, I'd like to stay by your side too, if it's okay with you”
Ariella scratched her face shyly and glanced sideways at me
”How unfortunate for you all Yuu's side is the spot belonging to me I won't concede it to anyone”
Kili touched ly
”Hey Kili! Get away from the Captain! That is the one spot I cannot concede to you!”
After Jeanne forcibly dragged me away from Kili, shi+on trotted over to me in tiny steps
”Papa i wAnt To bE close To yOu”
”E-Even if you say that”
I patted shi+on's head, co around me
We were at the entrance hall of Mitsuki's dorirls dorm, were piled up here in a mountain
It was currently 5p shadows of the s on the ground Although we succeeded in s before sunset There was a tense atht now
Everyone was staring seriously at ent decision was thrust upon me And what caused this was—
”Please calht in a dileened previously?”
Inserting herself between me and the others, Mitsuki remarked in exasperation
Indeed—We were currently stuck in a fierce dispute over the distribution of rooms As the irls to back off slightly, but Lisa immediately shook her head
”—No, that is not agreeable at all In the beginning, I did not object against the rooeed However, now that we haveill be living here for the long terement”
The other girls agreed with Lisa, but Mitsuki glared at them with displeasure
”Yourfrom the conversation between you earlier, all of you arefor the room adjacent to Nii-san's, is that correct?”
”W-Well I aestion out of consideration for him I-If If Kili-san were to live next to him, she will surely break the wall”
Lisa explained in a sta Kili to look offended
”How rude I won't be doing anything as barbaric as s the pleasures of being neighbors At ht drill a small hole”
”Drilling holes are absolutely forbidden!”
”Of course I know that Sheesh Can't you even take a joke?”
Covering her ears, Kili replied unhappily
”—It certainly does not sound like a joke to me I knew it, I should be the one to live next to Mononobe Yuu”
Lisa puffed out her chest and insisted, but Ariella and Ren objected
”In that case, what's the difference if I took that room instead?”
”Mm!”
Iris raised her hand and added:
”I-I will protect the wall properly!”
”Iris-san, that is not the point of contention here”
Mitsuki sighed with her pal to the rest of us:
”I understand—Regarding the nments, let us save the discussion for another ti such a heated contest, it will have to remain empty for now”
”Eh, no way”
Iris whined unhappily and the other girls also showed dissatisfaction on their faces They were not going to accept, apparently Next, everyone looked at me
I would have to be the one to make a choice if Mitsuki's decision were to be overturned without a dispute
This was probably the ”important choice” that Firill had predicted However, this was not a question that could be answered straight away
—By the way, didn't Firill say she was going to help me?
I glanced hopefully at her, who had kept silent so far
Standing at the back of the group, Firill exchanged a glance with me then nodded with a smile
”Excuse , it would not be an issue, right?”
Saying that, Firill took a step forward
”Eh, yes I suppose you are right”
Mitsuki nodded somewhat hesitantly
