Part 1

[Kinkon][Kankon] The Afterschool chi

It’s a tiets released fro class duties A time to which probably every student waits for enthusiastically

And even Izuno in front of Kishi+irl near her and, the girl’s on the right side were also having an enjoyable conversation with each other

No irls This was truly an all-girls school and, Kishi+n substance between them

Possibly, a normal healthy boy, surely would’ve felt envious of his current situation Well in real, there do existed a feho entered in this all-girls school because of that particular reason For exaht behind Kishi+loomy face was also one of those

“Sigh…… It ended without anything happening today as well…… What should we do after school……?”

His na a contact with Kishi+mine, then he was the only boy in this class On top of it, he was the one who purposely asked the rumoured question to the Principal on his first day of the school

Kishi+ht, and even their looks were quite uy Consequently of being it as a private school of Ojou-sama, it was obviously prohibited to dye your hair in the school but, he died his hair brown to the degree that he can claim that it’s his real hair, and even worn out his uniform a bit to an extent that it won’t be noticeable to the teachers

Further like “I will do irlfriend!” but, after four days of our transferring-in, he totally lost his spirit The reason was very si popular airls in his previous school after all, and now he realised that as the population of the boys were just too sirls, due to that it was like totally iirlfriend

For example, the afterschool classroo their talk with each other but, there were none as even trying to approach and converse with either of the boys The at in other words [courteously disregarding] their presence

Thus, like always, he was talking secretly with Kishi+ his plan for today

“Say Kishi+mine What are your plans for today?”

“E-Even if you askto the library as per usual”

“Sigh, when I heard about it first I thought that how lonely you spend your Afterchool like that but, now I feel kinda jealous of you even having an aiht that I will become a centre of envy of all the boys outside and all To think that I will not be able to talk to just one girl……”

“Isn’t it’s just the 4th day after the transfer? It’s too soon to give up like that, if you give a little bit of tiet a chance or two”

As he didn’t kne to respond to hi that will comfort him

Though to be honest, he really meant his words In the eyes frouy and, to hiirls a bit more and approached theh

And then, that happened

[U, Uhm……]

That day soirl from the class, approached them

Kishi+irls in his class but, he knew about her Her name was Tanabe Mai and she was their class representative

It’s not unusual for this school, but she was excessively cute and beautiful Short hair with serious features as a trait, he understood that it will turn out to be someone like her if someone has to balance out the two components of an Ojou-sama and the class-rep

“Aah, isn’t this our class-rep, Tanabe-san here! Do you have some business with me in particular?”

Instantaneously Kusakabe regained his energy and, said while bracing himself

But, i his actions

“……Hiiiii!~”

Kishi+htened shriek of the girl

“U-Ue from the Sensei, I don’t know in detail……but tomorrow, there seems to be the club introduction reception for the new students and the transferred students That’s why, you’re both asked to go in the auditorium tomorrow after the school……”

“A, Aah We got it, Thanks a bunch”

I don’t knohether it is to not scare her more than she already was, he said thanks his tone lowered a bit and that too with somewhat of a stiff expression on his face

“Then, Then…… as I’ve conveyed the e”

Tanabe class-rep, left the place in front of them, in a way like she escaped

Kusakabe then sighed in grief

“Ha~~ Did you heard that just now? Just talking a bit, and a response like [Hiii!~] is just tooa guilty conscience about it”

“It just can’t be helped right? Even the Principal said herself that it’s because it has beco boys in it”

“But still, I never thought that it would be this bad Sigh, if it’s gonna be like this forever thenplace left is the clubs Because if it’s within one then I will for sure will be able to get a chance or two to at least have a proper conversation with a girl On that subject Kishi+onna do about Clubs?”

“No, I don’t have any intention of entering in one but……what about you? Do you have your eyes set on one?”

“Since I loved Athletics from before, and even used to play Soccer in my previous school as well I have that as an option but well, if I have to get into in a club here then, I decided it long ago that it will be either rhyth”

“……why you have those two as a choice?”

I kinda have a vague idea about it, but I still asked it anyways

“Why you ask, it’s because If soure of feure or in the swio and see it won’t he?”

Kishi+ the answer as it ay beyond of what he expected

“If one just leaves the idea of being popular and don’t think too much about it, then this school will really be a paradise though”

“Then it will be o on a date with her in the school uniforht, and I want to have a clandestine yh school life I can only enjoy for just once after all!”

His tone is powerful but irls that are still left in the classroom his volume was comparatively low Kusakabe had co

“I-Is that so…… But it sure is surprising to ht that you atleast had an experience before with a girl or two”

“Gufuuu!?”

I said so he didn’t wanted to hear, huh? As Kusakabe fell on the desk while holding his stoerated manner

“Ah, My bad Did I perhaps said so unpleasant?”

“N-No it’s alright If it’s you then I will tell You are the only male friend in this class after all In irl from my class you know…… but then, suddenly I was severely rejected without even told a reason”

“……Ah, so that’s hoas”

“Plus, she was in the same class asit, it’s hard to even be in the saht?”

“By any chance, did you just changed the schools just because of that?”

“That’s right If I change schools then I will be able to bid farewell to the old me and her……”

Then Suddenly, I remembered the words of ood chance to changeto Izunomiya Academy

For sure it seeed his school just because of that particular reason

“W-Well do your best In any case, I will head back to library now”

“Geez, you sure are cold It can’t be helped then, let’s call the boys froe inforame with PSP……?”

“PSP?”

He reflexively raised a question as word he was not used to just mentioned suddenly like that

‘daret about it, Kusakabe was looking at him like he didn’t believe of what he just heard

“What the hell? You don’t even know about PSP?”

“A-Aah, yeah I don’t have a slightest clue about what is that”

“It’s a portable game you know, A Portable GAME Play Station Portable to be exact”

“My bad I see, so that’s what you meant by”

“Well it’s not so As everyone has their own hobbies”

“Well, alright see ya tomorrow then”

“……Aah Yeah See ya”

In So unco in a hurry and left the classroom with quick pace

Kishi+uys like Kusakabe since long ago

But, in this current situation where there are only 2 guys in the class, plus those 2 refer to me and Kusakabe of the 3-B inevitably he had no other choice but to be the Talking buddy of Kusakabe

Right now as he too was related to the school, clubs and stuff, more or less he was able to cope up with the conversation But, still sometimes he too was at the loss of words And practically, the strange unknoords like PSP do also appear But what if he was asked so like “What kind of brand are you wearing these days?”, he won’t be able to folloith the conversation at all Just i the unbreathable atmosphere of that moment, made him more depress

‘Well, it’s no use in getting worried about future’

And it’s that Kusakabe he was talking about, there’s no rossed with the girls rather than bothering with Kishi+ like that to happen Cause after that he will be able to spend his tiain

The hallway of afterschool was quite as per usual but, there were just too irls here and there But one can say as expected of an Ojou-sa theirls used to laugh [Kyahaha] in a loud voice, plus the hallway too was not occupied by the girls sitting and playing gaant laugh of the girls

‘I feel bad for Kusakabe, but I don’t think that there is any rooraduation atleast’

Plus, that too will be quite a good bargain deal for Kishi+mine Cause then as planned, he will be not bothered by any other person in this school other than Kusakabe And like then he will be able i, for the 1 year interval till graduation

One floor below, on the other corner of the school building, as the Izunomiya is a Giant Private Acadeh school Both division buildings were constructed up in a here they face each other north and south and were tied together with a passageway In the s lies the shared auditoriuh schoolers and also the cause of hope, the reason of which Kishi+mine entered into this school— A Library

With holding quite a history holder Izunoh School,than ordinary In this two storied airy and cylindrical independent building The half of the first floor had the loaning counter and the desks for the self-study, there are desks arranged side-by-side on the center of the second floor as well but, the rest of the space is filled and surrounded by the bookshelves Without even having the need to do the counting and not even having a rough idea about the figure of the collection in the library, he came to a conclusion in an instant that it will be impossible to be able finish that a that, his heart throbbed with excitement

And yet, it’s not even four days since the first semester; yet he noticed that there was just one person besides him which could be seen inside the library other than him The count will increase with the approach of thebut, for Kishi+mine it wasbooks was not norrateful of the fact that there are less people around him

‘But still, there are book loving people everywhere aren’t they?’

Getting a little happier of that fact, Kishi+lance at the sole girl who see the library like him

She seeirl And naturally, she too was obviously cute like the rest He wondered at first that if she really liked the books or not, as she was looking at the pocket edition of so quite intently

Suddenly he looked towards her breast No, not because of any indecent thought or so, but to verify her school year from the colour of her ribbon

It was pink That means that she was a sopho breasts of that girl stole his glance for a moment

Maybe, it was because of hi at her direction for quite a while, she too noticed hi at her

Kishi+aze, and started searching inside the book to make it as an escape route If he just had a little bit of a courage siht’ve used the book as a source to talk with the girl But, Kishi+e to start a conversation with an unknown person from the opposite sex

Pulling hiether, he quietly walked towards the bookshelf and started looking around That in itself was quite a blissful moment for Kishi+mine

“Alright, let’s go with this”

The one he picked was the, “The Count of Monte Cristo” written by Alexandre Du behind that pick of his nor it was like that he heard of the title before somewhere before, it’s just that it was one of the books that he didn’t read before

He quickly went back to his Study table Though he also had the choice of reading it at home but, as it’s just been few days with his transfer, he didn’t knew the proper way of borrowing in this library yet Plus, he didn’t actually dislike reading it while he was in the library How to say it, the library has its unique atest advantage is that he can look for any book he wants at any ti inside the library

‘Let’s spend the entire day by reading this book’, despite his wishfully thinking like that, the blankness and the voidness you can say of finishi+ng it before the actually planned ti “Harry Potter and the Chaht the popular work and started reading it after bringing it inside the house quite excitingly, and the shocking i that it was actually the Second Volume of the series ay beyond of his ways of description

That’s why he wanted to read asinside the library, before the crowd starts to gather up

So without wasting a moment, he opened the book

The Count of Monte Cristo The story takes place in the Europe at the tionist of the story seeation officer, finishi+ng his long voyage returned back to his ho for hie were his old father, and his beautiful fiancé As even the succession of the captain granted for him there, he was certainly at the summit of happiness

However, In the e cereot arrested by the police

“…………”

He himself had no self-awareness about it but, as he finished reading till that point, some weird phenomenon started to occur in the body of Kishi+ like usual, the sentence and the co in his head like usual but, first starting with his sight his 5 senses started to get dull

The protagonist, Ede ceremony His sadness with the other eot arrested, and ill happen in the story from now on?

Kishi+mine’s anticipation started to rose and simultaneously with that, the weird phenoer

The scenery froet more vivid, and he soon crossed the boundary of reality

And nohat lies in front of Kishi+mine’s eyes was not the letter of text but the scenery And the place too was changed froh School’s Library to that of Europe’s Church, where there was supposed to be no one stood the beautiful fiancé Mercédès, and the old father as looking at hied in at the e ceremony to arrest him

Even without hi it, Kishi+mine’s mind and his heart completely turned into that of Edmond Dantès

“Why!? I haven’t done anything did I?! So then why do I have to suffer this much!?”

Inside the dark and cold prison, I continued to grief on the situation I am put to

But as it was deep and underground inside the jail, no rieved it just didn’t reached into the ears of the jailer

“Why!? Just why this is happening!?”

But no ht about it, I just couldn’t find the reason of this And eventually getting tired of all , I finally succumbed to a deep sleep

And just like that an entire day past

And once again what reflected inup from the sleep was the same dark and cold prison

Furthermore, just like that each day passed like a void, and eventually day by day an entire month passed

I getting ierly looked forward for the day, et cleared but, there was not even a slightest bit of change in

And thus shortly enough 1 year got passed During that period, not even a slightest bit of light went inside these eyes ofprison started to feel like a year and, finally I started thinking of suicide aslike that I started throw the crude meals that were sent to me, so that I can eventually starve to death

But at that moment, [Gatsun] [Gatsun] sound reached into my ears

I then soon realised that fro Soging the hole in the ground

“I will live!” the other person said

The two letters of ‘Jail Break’ then shi+ned inside my head, in a si a hole

I filled myself with determination

But, there were obviously no tools to dig a hole

So there I first, brokeAnd from its pieces peeled the plaster of the wall, and from the metal handle of the saucepan, in which soup was poured tothe hole

The operation didn’t go too well But, for ht now, the think I had thethe whole little by little

But, what lied ahead was—-

Was the firm wall of rock

Perhaps, it was the foundation of the building or soh hat with these made-up tools, I won’t be able to even leave a scratch on it

In the end et rewarded

“O’ Lord! Why you implicit such tortures on me! Don’t you have any compassion left in your heart after all?!”

Now the only thing left to do, was to bury

But, it seemed the God I believed didn’t forsaken me after all As at that moment in my ear, the voice of the jailer like person reached after who kno many years

“Who is it there criticising the God?”

It was an old voice

My prison break in the failed but, that effort gave me a new encounter

And that too with soh become like a second father to me, a Priest named Faria

But, that weird phenomenon didn’t end there

“Oi, You”

“Eh?”

The weird pheno As the veteran voice of Priest Faria, suddenly got changed

“How peculiar, are you perhaps asleep? Oi, wake up”

That too, into the dignifying voice with that of a girl—

“What happened, get a hold of yourself”

As Kishi+ained his consciousness, what lied in his field of vision was the sa like that anymore He was already in the library which was now dyed red with the colour of twilight
