Vol 6 Chapter 4 (2/2)

“The ones feeling lonely will be this bunch of friends here”

“…Eh…?”

Mina me say this as she turns to look at me Is it weird that I feel lonely?

“Aki…why do you feel so lonely?”

“Ah? You’re asking this? I will feel lonely”

“I’, ill you feel lonely?”

Minami continues to ask insistently

What? The terrified expression on her face just a o has disappeared Minami now looks ever-serious…is the answer to this question so important?”

“…”

Minaht at my eyes

Since Mina so serious, I have to answer her question seriously

Uu…the reason why I feel lonely when a certain person is not around…I don’t know if this can be considered an answer, but I guess—

“Because I’ll feel lonely when one of the friends who hangs out with me suddenly leaves”

“Nor ou…”

“Un”

I probably won’t feel extre out with leaves If I feel lonely when so, it uess it’s because we’re together so often…though my sister and mom are exceptions here

“You’re saying…that you hope that I reht?”

“Huess”

For so’s kind of different, but I guess this is roughly what I want to convey

“The, then…”

“Hm? What is it?”

“Then…if I say that I’ to be with you forever…will you accept it, Aki?”

She wants to sit beside me? Minami still wants to sit next toenvironment? Even if Minami has confidence in her physical health, I don’t want her doing so stupid

“My seat and the ones around aps during winter It’s freezing, so I better advise you not to”

“Aki, you better not answer me with such stupid words”

“Eh? Ah…yes, sorry!”

What? Why is Mina a tantrum at me? I feel that our conversation don’t seem to match

“That’s not what I want to hear I want to know…”

Just when Mina—

“I feel that onee-sa fooled…I hate you…I want to curse you…I want to kill you!”

Crck crck crck crck I feel that there’s a curse that’s being uttered really fast and getting closer to me Thi, this is too scary!

“Ky—umu!”

I hurriedly cover Minami’s mouth just when she’s about to cry out Now’s not the ti We’ll definitely be disqualified at this rate!

“Minah of me, but sorry”

“—Buha! There, there’s soet away from here…”

Minami timidly looks over at the pitch-black darkness To a certain extent, it’s really scary to be unable to see anything at all!

“No, Mina away Don’t worry, they probably won’t hurt us, so let’s calm down”

SHAKAKAKA!! (Mechanical pencils x 3)

“Let’s go then How about we run away, Minami?”

“Un…”

I continue to dodge the stationery flying over as Minami and I hasten our pace

What’s chasing us is definitely not a su of the 3rd years either…

“I won’t let you get away! I’ll continue pursuing you until I get onee-sama back, even if I have to run to the ends of the world!”

“shi+e than any of the youkais around here”

The horror that’s pursuing us—the real identity of the horror ht beside us

“—!!”

Minarabs onto my hand and runs, but in this posture, there’s a limit to how fast she can try to run faster At this rate, we’ll probably be caught up soon

“In that case…I can only do this!”

C classroo or running away from the pursuers behind us In that case, we can only use this move to hide

“Minanal, keep your voice down and summon”

“Eh? I, I got it…I can call out my summoned beast if you want…”

At thisa fork in theMinaive the signal to her

(Now, Minami)

(Uuu…sa, summon)

Minami’s summoned beast appears Un As expected, it’s a complete flat piece of wall

(Aki, I suddenly have an urge to really beat you up)

Mina

(You’re thinking too much here, Minami Let’s not talk about this Let your summoned beast stand in front of us…yes yes, just like that Noe need to keep quiet, so don’t let out any noises)

(It doesn’t really matter…)

The chibi-sized sum, so luckily, this summoned beast is about the same size as us In that case, we probably won’t be discovered if we’re hidden behind the concrete wall

“Onee-sama, onee-sama…I definitely won’t let you run away…kekekekekekeke~”

“shi+ air is distorted”

Minami and I hold our breaths as ait for the evil Gods to pass by

The demon with 2 drill braids that is dominated by her emotions doesn’t sees as it hurriedly passes by the path ere hiding on

To play it safe, we continue to remain where we are for a while and peer around for movements…hm, looks like it should be fine

“It’s fine now, Mina in one far away”

“Re, really?”

The tihtly

It see a small room from the wall, and there’s only Mina to be scared of This is likely designed to be so as there are all sorts of broken stuff here It looks to be a messy and dirty place

“See, there isn’t anyone else here, right?”

“Ye, yeah, that’s great…”

Minareat that she can regain her composure

Alright, what should we do next? Right noe’ve already hidden ourselves just like what Yuuji instructed us, and it’s about time to head back Also, it’ll be pitiful for Minas

“Let’s go back, Minami”

Minami’s summoned beast isn’t a real object, so I step outside by passing through the nurikabe But at this moment—

“Aki, hold on a moment”

For so my arm What is it? Is there still a reason for us to hide here?

“What’s the matter, Minami? What happened?”

“…Let’s continue”

A soft mutter reaches my ears

“Continue…the topic just noant to be certain of things here”

Eh? She wantsabout just now? I remember…

“You’ll feel lonely because you view me as a friend, Aki? Or—”

“Eh? Mi, Mina too excited? Calm down first”

“You always get the wrong ideas, Aki I don’t like orangutans or chimpanzees or even sloths! You’ve always been mistaken Actually, I really like—”

“You, you really like?”

“—Mo, mon…st! Hafuu!”

At that th as she collapsed onto the floor weakly Maybe it’s because of the fear she experienced up till now that she can’t help but faint once she's relaxed

“Really…she wouldn’t adh she’s terrified to such an extent”

She already fainted, and yet she forces herself to say so like, ‘I like youkais’ Minae If I have to say it, it’s really like Minami to protect her pride

“Since Minami fainted, I better take her back first”

I carry Minami’s lifeless body and turn back to where I came from

“BAAK!!”

At thison their own

I get it This place I thought was the duht Minami to hide here and sealed off the place with the nurikabe I really made Minami suffer here

“I’m back”

I take note not to drop the unconscious Minami as I open the door to F classroom

“Ohh, you’re finally back, Akihisa Nicely done This operation is very successful”

Yuuji, who lifts his head froives me a smirk Operation successful? What does that mean?

“Eh? Why? Mina”

“No, I’d dare say that you two did good”

“…(Nods nods)”

“???”

Even Hideyoshi+ and Muttsurini are praising our performances, but I really have no idea what the situation is exactly about now Anyway, I better let Minami lie on the tatami mat first

“…”

As I put Minaives me an ever serious stare

“H?”

“Ah, no, it’s nothing at all”

Himeji-san frantically waves her hands at e…’ Perhaps she finally decided to take part in the test of courage tournament

“Akihisa, that act just now had some effects See for yourself”

“Hm? What is it?”

Since Yuuji says so, I hurriedly bring my face over to the monitor to look

What appears on the screen is Kubo-kun and shi+ht now, they’re facing 2 3rd year-sempais

(Hii…fuu…ONEE-SAMA I…WILL OFFER…SACRIFICES TO…ONEE-SAMA!!)

(…Hey, hey, is this, your suerous presence here…)

(No, that thing’s about the same as a human)

That seht now looks like an evil sued to Kubo-kun and fell into a dark abyss as she has lost all signs of what a human should look like If the opponent’s summoned beasts are as scary as her, all of us noill probably be screa disqualified Kids will definitely be getting nightmares for the entire sue

(But that’s really unexpected To think that there’s a boy who can break through Aoi’s point)

(Aoi…? Ah, you’re talking about that sempai in kimono?)

(Un You’re not fettered by Aoi’s charly people?)

(No, I don’t like ugly ones, and I do understand that sempai charms)

(Really?)

(Really, I used to like girls before)

But I’m more concerned about Kubo-kun now

(…Kill…you all…ugh…uu…onee-sama…)

(Sempai, we better hurry up and end this before shi+e—summon!)

(I feel that girl has lost a lot of things as a human…summon)

(It, it seeet cursed if we don’t end this…summon)

(…Summon…)

A class, Kotobuki Minato, Modern Language 289 points

And

A class, Nakasone Misao, Modern Language 227 points

Are the end-of-terms questions hard? Or is the top class not exactly how it looks? I see two 3rd years with scores less than 300 points, and their summoned beasts are a yuki-onna and a harpy, normal monsters at that

A class, Kubo Toshi+e 388 points

And

D class, as originally shi+e 135 points

On the second years side, there’s a weird pairing; someone who lost his way in life, and solike a youkai itself…speaking of which, shi+mizu-san herself looks more like a youkai than anyone else

“Can Kubo-kun’s group win?”

“Well…this h battle, they should be able to do so”

Ah to make him top 3 It’s too bad that he doesn’t have a unique ability to let him pass the 400 point mark , but I think he’ll definitely work hard to achieve this victory

“Speaking of which, will the opposing yuki-onna do a snowstor?”

Maybe this ht become a battle of unique supernatural abilities like how Muttsurini’s summoned beast can transform

“No, I guess not Only a few summoned beasts from before have this kind of ability”

“Some…”

“Only those monsters with more than 400 points”

“More than 400 points, huh…”

Muttsurini and Kudou-san’s health education are more than 400 points, so they would have this kind of ability…however, can Kudou-san’s be counted as a unique ability? This can really be debated

“Speaking of this, this battle…”

“Will co each other blow for blow”

I’ll say that the school better hurry up and fix the suht like that…is not going to get them motivated, let alone make them lose motivation

(Minato! I’ll deal with this boy I’ll leave that girl (?) to you!)

(You can’t, Misao That boy has higher scores! I should attack hiher scores!)

(I, I don’t want to! Tha, that girl doesn’t look normal! Her eyes look like they’ll eat someone!)

(I don’t want to fight her too!)

“Our total points s now, I’ll say that we’re winning…”

“Yeah”

“I thought I saw Kubo-kun turn into a er of death that could control 3 demons at the same time…”

“…That’s a real supernatural phenomenon”

“A, Akihisa-kun…so filthy is in this school! I think shi+mizu-san is inflicted by it too!”

(Onee-sama, one-sama…Miharu’s, beloved, onee-sama…ouldn’t…you even…look back…at me…)

Looking at shi+ to take the weird stares from her classmates in the future
