Vol 2 Chapter 12 (1/2)

June

Two months had passed since they had entered school and the first years were getting used to school in a bad way

The thoughts of ‘I fight for justice!’ and ‘I’ll beco Saviour’ had dulled, and a relaxed hout the school

Even the daily practical lessons were they learnt Ancestral Arts with a fairly serious expression, and fought in training, the class’ relaxed smiles appeared every so often

After training was over, the first year fe room ith complaints

“Ahh, lame, day after day it’s the same old basics, I’m tired of it”

“Tanaka really likes boring practice, ?”

“Oh no, my sweat’s made my makeup run”

“It’s only June, it’s way too hot”

“We’re going to have a dry rainy season this year, the weather said it’s already the average temperature for early summer”

“I knooow, right! Argh, this is the worst”

Drawing out getting changed would only ish

They stripped off and scattered their combat uniform, and carelessly put on their school uniform

They ht make you ask ‘were they really heroes, a cut above the rest in a previous life?’ but those who didn’t remember much of those lives were like that

One alone, Satsuki, was glaring at her surroundings in a huff

“They’re all slacking… Just yesterday, a metaphysical appeared here, in japan, and Nii-sama risked his life to defeat it… But do they think it happened in another world or soh self-awareness as Saviours”

She was in the

Standing proudly and indignant in her bra and panties, hands on her hips

“Is losing any sha?”

“Ugh”

Next to her in a similar state of dress, shi+zuno retorted and Satsuki clammed up

“I-I-I-I-I-I don’t want to hear about shaed that e the topic “you press your breasts into Moroha at any chance and try and seduce him!”

She then braced against the inevitably sharp-tongued response from shi+zuno

“I guess so…”

shi+zuno replied half-heartedly and let loose a tiny sigh

Satsuki was shocked This wasn’t like the wo the lovely Satsuki-chan ords (these are the individual’s impressions)

“W-what’s up? You seee today?”

“Aren’t I always strange?”

“You actually realise you’re doing strange things!?” Satsuki retorted in surprise but soon cleared her throat and continued, “That’s not what I ?”

She looked at shi+zuno seriously worried, so her natural enemy

“Ever since this … actually no, now that I think about it, it’s been since that state of ee”

“Isn’t that your iination?”

“Did so actually happen when you were called by the chairman?”

shi+zuno was putting an arh the sleeve of her uniform, but stopped for an instant

“It was nothing major, I told you yesterday, didn’t I?”

Her face was unreadable, but her voice sounded

slightly hoarse

“Moroha’s really worried too, you know?”

At that nah this time

She looked like she’d given up, or resolved herself

“You’re right, I’ people”

shi+zuno put her head through her collar and looked straight at Satsuki

It was i, her eyes were like frosted glass

“I want you to listen and not be surprised The chairman is my brother”

“Seriously!?”

Satsuki was astonished, telling her to not be surprised was absurd

But it wasn’t like she had no clue – whilst they weren’t great friends, shi+zuno soeable, so she could accept her faement

“Shh It’s not so to shout about”

shi+zuno put up a single finger and placed it against her lips

Satsuki truly understood those feelings Just having influential fa to spreada princess in her past life, Satsuki knew this well

So she glanced around to check that no one seemed to have heard, and when there didn’t seem to be anyone there, she relaxed

“I’ it”

“It’s fine, it’s not like I cared about the chairman until yesterday”

If she’d had the interest, she’d have known his name, and if she’d known his name, she’d have soon noticed that he and shi+zuno shared the same surname However, the chairman didn’t have much to do with the students, so he hadn’t even come to mind until now

“And then, and then?”

“Unlike your brother, ht about so pointless yesterday, so I’m a bit melancholic”

“Ah, I see I get it, there aren’t that many wonderful brothers like Moroha”

“Indeed, I’m actually really jealous of that, Ranjou-san”

The reason for shi+zuno’s sadness was clear Satsuki heart cleared hearing it wasn’t anything big

And shi+zuno was envious of Moroha, so Satsuki was suddenly in good spirits

“So tell your brother too, it’s nothing big”

“Right, got it! Leave it to me, Urushi+bara! Fo fwo”

Satsuki thumped her slim chest

shi+zuno had tired of lies, in the end she skilfully dodged the issue without the slightest bit of notice

“That reh spirits recently, haven’t you?”

Furthered the subject

“You can tell!?”

“I can, it’s like you’re shi+ning”

Satsuki bit like a fish, giggling shyly at the transparent flattery

If Satsuki was an ESPer, she’d probably see the i her by the nose in shi+zuno’s mind

“I heard from Sophie-senpai,” Satsuki was a ht up the na for anyone listening, whispered to shi+zuno, “there’s a ru the school soon”

“Yes, I heard Sir Edward planned to do so”

Informed as always, shi+zuno calmly nodded

It wasn’t a coathered evidence

The Order consisted of six organisations

The English main division, and the japanese, American, French, Russian and Chinese branches

The six founding Saviours were in coanisation under each country’s command, so it federated like that

They were called the Six Heads, each an unparalleled Saviour

For exalish division, Sir Edward Lampard was known as the Invincible White Iron

Though it more or less appeared to be a branch of the UN, and the official name was the Anti-Metaphysical Systeht Order’ was due to it being modelled on his flashy Ancestral Arts within those circles

That alone made him someone who lives above the clouds And so

“…Does his inspection have anything to do with you, Ranjou-san?”

Asked shi+zuno, as if she really didn’t understand

Still whispering into her ear, Satsuki checked once again that no one could hear and started speaking as if her words were precious

“It really does The English head is the highest in the White Knight Order, right? If I can show offlike ‘Oh, what a wonderful nadeshi+ko girl! The japanese branch doesn’t know anything,you a rank D By ht away’ I think”

“…Do you seriously think that?”

“Well, aren’t I being underesti, so I can’t stand out next to him no matter what, it’s like the sun and the shade, you know?”

“…You are a hard worker, and you progress several times faster than normal people I think”

The first year White Irons would first, as a foundation, train to be able to ates around the body Satsuki had already succeeded in using both arates Compared to the majority of the first years, who couldn’t opensuccess

“Right, right, the A Satsuki-chan, yeah”

“But that’s just coht? Do you not know the difference in strength between you and the senior Strikers, even though you train with the under a rock?”

“They’re mostly rank Bs! It’s because I train with them every day that I’ll be a rank C soon, fo fwo!”

“…Even though you still can’t form the foundation” shi+zuno’s murmur was too quiet for Satsuki to hear “I’m sure you’re made of sweetness inside”

“W-what are you praising me for all of a sudden? Am I that cute inside? Ehe he…”

Satsuki lowered her head in embarrassment

shi+zuno watched expressionlessly However, her eyes that had lost their light spoke“She’s an idiot”

“Do your best, Ranjou-san”

“W-what’s this turn of events, are you supporting me?”

“Is that a problem?”

“N-not at all… itif I become a rank C and a full member of the Strikers before you?”

“You’re a hard worker, effort should be rewarded properly”

“Uuuh… Thank you, Urushi+baraa!”

Satsuki wasthem back and forth

If shi+zuno, with her mask like expression looked dejected, that was surely a trick of the light

While Satsuki and shi+zuno were playing in the girl’s changing rooed quickly and headed towards the school affairs building with the principal’s office

He fully curious about what kind of connection shi+zuno had to the chair the question, so he thought he’d investigate himself and ask someone who should know

He only had the ti Despite that, as he walked rapidly through the corridors,

“Ah, it’s Haiirls saw him and called out to him

He didn’t know any of their names or faces

It was just after practical lessons, but the three’s makeup was soft and well done

Even though they were average looking to begin with, they worked hard to be stylish and were the type good at showing their charms

This kind of girl was often the most popular with men

“You were aweso you on”

They bounced over and surrounded Moroha

He didn’t really have tilance that they had no ill will, so it was hard to be cruel to them

“Hey, hey, you were training in Ancestral Arts before you caht?”

“How old were you when you remembered your past lives?”

“Oh, oh, and what’s it feel like to have two past lives you remember?”

Shrill voices barraged him with questions

In the confusion, they were feeling all over his upper arms and stomach

Girls lost their reserve when they roups

“Again, huh…”

Moroha smiled wryly mentally

As Moroha had beco happened constantly

He was a supernova, the first since the founding of the school to immediately join the Strikers

And, he was the first Ancient Dragon in recorded history

He understood the sense of curiosity Moroha hi events surrounding him were normal

The days he just wanted to learn the Ancestral Arts he could and slip into an office job with the White Knight Order felt like the distant past

“Hey, hey, you’re good at teaching too, right? You’re always in demand, yeah?”

“Haies, lecture us too”

“In exchange, we’ll teach you so nice ♥”

Regardless of being in different years, girls would often gather around him and talk like this

“Ah, I’m sorry, but I’ht now”

With a troubled face, Moroha explained, but

“Kyaa, he’s so popular! ♥”

They screeched in what sounded like an ultrasonic voice

“Ah no, it’s like he’s not taking notice of us”

“Is it because we didn’t joing the Strikers reserve corps? No waay”

They were lightly playing as they clasped their hands in front of theled

“So, I’o”

“Bye bye, see you lateer!”

If he was free, he wouldn’t havefor a while, but he was in a hurry today

With the three waving him off, he quickly headed to the principal’s office

This time he made it, and knocked on the door

“Go ahead”

A sweet voice came from within

It still had the remnants of youth but it was a serene, clear voice

If angels existed and were to speak, they’d probably have a sweet voice like this

“Excuse me”

Moroha entered the roo for hi

She looked like a young version of the principal, and angel like girl with blonde hair and blue eyes

Actually, she was probably a relative He iined her alith the principal, like an extra

Her innocent smile was lovely too

She was sitting on the sofa for guests, chewing on a rice cracker and watching television

On the other side of the room, the desk was empty, it looked like the principal was out

“Umm, do you knohere the principal is?”

“You can wait here until Mari-oneechan comes back”

Still with her carefree sel patted the sofa next to her

“Let’s do that I guess”

Rather than going searching for her and possiblyher, Moroha sat on the opposite sofa

As he did, she got up, purposely ripped onto his arm

“W-what is it?”

Moroha shi+fted back

He had a sense that this girl would be hard to deal with

If he thought back, after the bout with the class’ tyrant Isurugi, she’d used mana to heal him

And given him a chaste kiss

Even thinking “That was a medical treatuilt of kissing a little girl

“…Why are you clinging to me?”

“If I don’t cling to someone, I’ll die”

He did re the principal, but

“That’s a lie, right?”

“That’s a lie”
