Si on a crying face’ as well It will be helpful to ether
Tsuchiya Kouta’s Answer:
“(1) A kappa can’t choose a pen”
Teacher’s comment:
You mixed the proverbs up because you can’t differentiate between them?
shi+mada Minami’s Answer:
“(2) A bee sting on the eye”
Teacher’s comment:
It does seem to hurt
“Now then, what instructions do you have for everyone, Yuuji?”
It’s now the second day of the su war
Once the class representativeended, Yuuji returns to our base, 3-D's classroom and answers me
“Nothing much, we have our F class members at the uys and girls to the frontline separately Finally, I requested for everyone to try and retreat as much as we can to lower the scale of battle”
This strategic instruction doesn’t see
Upon hearing this, Kinoshi+ta-san beside ain asks Yuuji,
‘Is this really alright, Sakamoto-kun?”
“Ahh, it is for now”
In this case, it seeies later
“…”
“What is it, Kinoshi+ta sister? You look like you have a lot of ideas there”
“I’m not unhappy about this…”
Kinoshi+ta-san seems to be a little disappointed by this instruction Maybe she’s hoping that he would coreat revival
Yuuji then continues to explain to Kinoshi+ta-san,
“The ene We need to bring the tide to our side if ant to reverse the situation”
“Though you say that, aren’t the 3rd years stronger than us if we compare our situations?”
“This is fact, but right noe’re inferior in ability, and also at a disadvantage right now First, we have to think of a way in this situation”
“If there’s a ould have—”
“And I gave this instruction so that everyone can fight at their actual ability”
Yuuji’s instruction is siood opportunity, and then we’ll wait for everyone to recover, I think
“We’re not doing anything big even though it’s an instruction”
“Anyway, just watch You’ll know later”
“…If you say so I guess I’ll just watch without saying anything…”
It see, but she’s no longer asking Yuuji any more questions
This time, Minami instead approaches Yuuji and asks him another question
“Speaking of which, Sakaic ?”
B class’ Nemoto-kun really hu It see else this time
“Ah, I don’t knohy, but for some reason, he—”
“…Not around”
Kirishi+ up on Yuuji’s words
“Eh? Not around? That Nemoto?”
“(Nods)…Anyway, he did not attend the ”
“Oh ood for Prez and Sakamoto-kun, isn’t it?”
While Kinoshi+ta-san nods,
“Hmm…not around, huh…?”
For so us a very suspicious look
“What now, Mina at us like that”
“We didn’t do anything, we don’t know anything”
“…A blasphehest order”
“I’d say I’m surprised to be so suspected”
Minanores our excuses as she looks around the classroom for a little while,
“It’s around here, right?”
She approaches the cabinet with the cleaning equipment inside
And reaches her hand for that door
Creaks…………Thud
Need, rolls out from the opened cabinet
“Then, let me hear your reason”
“““Akihisa did it on his own!!!”””
“HOLD ON A MINUTE!”
Why’s it that those 3 would gang up and call my name at such moments?
“That’s not it It’s just an unfortunate incident, you know Ne, and I just so happened to hold him down, and by chance, Yuuji passed by and sent a punch into his chest, and it’s bad luck that Muttsurini and Hideyoshi+ just so happened to be nearby practicing their rope skills and—”
“Aki, don’t think of passing this off with excuses like just so happened and by chance or so like that”
I still want to say the o can be rationalized no matter what Looks like the effect eaken if I say it too much
“Speaking of which, I’m a little surprised that Kinoshi+ta took part in this”
“Hm? Is that so?”
It’s just like Minami has said; Hideyoshi+ rarely takes part in such unethical behavior
“Yuuji’s an iive an equal ah”
Even so, Hideyoshi+’s not a saint hiry if his friend is hurt, and will use force according to the situation It can’t be helped that Hideyoshi+ would gag Ne
“What? Don’t worry about such a s war rules that says that we can’t knock out our ally”
“Yes yes That’s right That’s just an area between the grey and black”
“At least say that it’s between black and white…”
I know I did so I have to take a firm stance on
As we’re talking about this, Minami looks around the classroom, and says,
“Speaking of which, I don’t see Mizuki”
“Aiko’s not here either”
“So is Kubo-kun”
Yuuji however answers their doubts
“Yeah, those 3 are waiting behind the F class guys”
“…For what?”
“Must be to deal with any deserters”
“What are you saying, Yoshi+-kun…how can there be such a thing?”
“That’s one of the objectives”
“Are you serious!?”
F class has been used to fighting in the war, but even so, they often have to fight battles where they’ll die if they don’t go all out, so it’s not a weird thing to see deserters
“Your h you’re classmates…”
“Let ood, Kinoshi+ta If you want to uys, don’t hold back If they know it’s going to be a battle with 100 chance, the situation’s going to be worse It’s for the better that I don’t say anything”
And then, we kill off the deserters That’s really a terrifying rule
“I say…if you’re going to do such cruel things, I don’t care if you get attacked by the tests, no?”
“Don’t worry tootests are held in a different place from the remedial room”
“Ah, that’s true”
I guess Kinoshi+ta-san has never been beaten in a test su war? She just accidentally mixed up the remedial room with the test replenishment room
“On a side note, since we have a lot ht be in the same place”
But in that case, there’ll be tighter security; they won’t be able to even whisper to us, let alone take revenge
As we’re explaining about this, the bell chi the start of the lessons
“Alright, the suain Get ready so that you can fight back anytime”
“““Roger that”””
And so, the second day of our war against the 3rd years begins
“Th-Things are really going our way now…”
Kinoshi+ta-san says with disbelief as she looks down fro
“What’s so surprising about that? Though you say it’s going our way now, the thing is that they can’t push us back now”
Yuuji says It seems there’s no improveths still remains
“But I’m already surprised by this already…Prez and I tried our best to allocate our fighting strength, but we couldn’t salvage the collapsing frontlines…”
Upon hearing Kinoshi+ta-san th report Kirishi+ on
“Most of the winning results in war is caused by pursuit Do you knohy?”
“I never heard of it before…but I understand what you’re trying to get at”
“Leaving asidethe era of bayonet warfare, the worst losses always arise fro pursued”
I can understand what Yuuji hting the ene away, the latter’s a lot tougher to do
“You guys , but because of this, the even strength between both sides…no, the 2nd years were overwhelhtly”
“…Then, what is the problem?”
“Isn’t it because of Nemoto-kun?”
“Yoshi+-kun, I think you can leave that aside for now”
It seems Kinoshi+ta-san really wants to find out how to solve the issue of this collapsing frontline once Neuess that’s to be expected of the studious A class
“…We sent in our round?”
“No, that’s the correct decision”
It was the correct decision to send in all the fighting strength before the situation got out of hand
“But that bastard Takashi+ro had the upper hand When you attacked with the main force, he sent an equal number of forces”
That upperclassh he’s basically an idiot
“I want to know the conclusion now, Sakamoto”
“Ahh, when you sent in forces and were unable to salvage the situation, didn’t you start retreating in an attempt to limit the frontlines?”
“…Yes”
“That response back then was the wrong choice”
“Why do you say so? Isn’t it reasonable for those with high scores to cover those with low scores in their retreat?”
Yuuji just said “the worst losses always arise fro pursued” In that case, it does see ones retreat last
However…
“Those guys with high scores don’t kno to retreat, since they aren’t used to defeat”
Theaway is to defend It is not about beating the ene tih scores, is the i here
“And after everyone got pursued, our forot forced back by the 3rd years That’s why the difference in strength between both sides just got bigger”
Basically, the scores are still the weapons used in this su war In an ordinary exaainst oneself, but this is different There are eneeous to be overwhelmed by the enemy
“Is that so? So you let the F class members stand at the front because they’re used to defeat?”
“That’s how it is”
“Then why did you separate the D class boys and girls?”
“The girls in that class douys, they’re indomitable, and can’t read theto be suppressed by the 3rd years that easily Besides, their experience in the su war is only less than that of F class”
F class and D class, norht on the frontlines, and that’s because they rely on so other than points
“I see…so once everyone sees the lower ranked classes fighting hard, they’ll be able to calm down”
“…I didn’t think that much”
Kinoshi+ta-san and Kirishi+uy’s really reliable in such moments
“I do think I haven’t done a lot yet”
“I do feel that you did plentiful though”
“Or rather, I ins now”
“? What do you mean?”
“Just sit back and enjoy the show”
Yuuji got up from his seat as he said this, and observed the state of battle from thein the front
“Alright, perfect ti Akihisa, are you done with those preparations?”
“Okay”
I grab onto the curtain dangling from the , and open theframes
“Ready, 3, 2, 1…go”
“Hah!”
As according to Yuuji’s instructions, I push the curtains out of theThe curtain hanging on the rail floated in the air outside the , expanding outwards
And so, a blazing trail crosses through the battlefield immediately afterwards
“Eh!? What did you just do, Yoshi+-kun!?”
“I just gave a signal The one attacking—I think it’s Himeji-san’s side and not Kubo-kun’s”
I reht? I do have an impression of it, so the attack just now should be from Himeji-san’s summoned beast
“…A lot of people were caught in it”
Kirishi+ma-san muttered
It’s just as she said; the trail of fire Hie number of enemies in it
“A…”
“Hist us second years after all”
“She’s a about how the formation was used in this situation”
Kinoshi+ta-san continues to stare at where the blaze attacked There probably are a lot of eneht in the crossfire
“…They were so wary of us back then”
“How did you gather the eneether, Sakamoto-kun?”
“Well, this is part of our F class’ characteristic—”
As Yuuji explains, voices can be heard from outside
“SAKAMOTO YOU bastard! YOU INTENDED TO KILL US AS WELL, RIGHT!?”
“AND YOU EVEN SAID ‘I’LL TRY NOT TO HIT YOU GUYS’!”
“YOU WERE FULLY AIMING TO HIT US, RIGHT!?”
““…””
“—In teruys fro over, even if they’re used as baits or pawns”
“……Sakamoto-kun, I really can’t tell the difference between your methods and Nemoto-kun’s…”
Kinoshi+ta-san said with a shocked expression
Yuuji however took such criticis, and honestly admits,
“This is a fact after all Both Nemoto and I are no different in the sense that we act on the same basis”
The si victory no matter the means’ In this sense, there’s no real difference between Yuuji and Nemoto
But there’s a decisive difference between the of the word ‘winning’ Nemoto-kun thinks of personal victory Yuuji’s idea of a win however is that of a teah us F class continues to be fooled by him, we still continue to follow his instructions This is the idea of team victory we believe in
“For souys really have a weird sense of unity”
“Really?”
“Yeah The proof is that none of the F class guys got hit by it, right?”
“…They really believed”
If they truly believed that they were used as bait, doesn’t that mean that both sides never trusted each other at all?
“Anyway, this is how it is in the end…Akihisa”
“Hm? What is it?”
“Call Himeji back to replenish her scores After that, stay at the frontlines to lure the enemy’s attention”
“I got it I’ll coiven, okay?”
“No, don’t coht”
“No way”
You still want to bluff me after all that explanation I just heard?
“What? Don’t be so stubborn, Akihisa Himeji used up a lot of points just now There’s no way the trail of fire will appear until she finishes her replenishment”
“I do see the second arrow in Kubo-kun being on standby, you know?”
In my situation, I’ll be sent on a direct course to the detention roo other than japanese History
“Don’t be stubborn, Akihisa shi+hting hard Is it fine for you to be here enjoying yourself here?”
“Though you say it like it’s the truth, Yuuji, I find that there’s a lot of wrong in that”
He’s clearly deo over to sacrifice myself
Since I’o, Kinoshi+ta-san then advises me,
“Yoshi+-kun, caly’ Sakamoto-kun talked about, you know? In that case, how can he possibly make you bait?”
“…Yuuji has always been dishonest”
“You’re saying too much, Shouko”
I guess Yuuji probably feels very disgusted for giving e…well, it’s not like I don’t understand that feeling anyway
“In that case, I’ll get myself fooled by you on Kirishi+ma-san’s account”
“Tch Stop talking too much and hurry on”
“Yes yes Got it”
I glance aside at Yuuji, who’s not being cute at all, and run off to the schoolyard, where everyone’s fighting
“”
I heard so rustle, and saw a curtain pushed out fro, fluttering in the wind
“““DODGE!!!”””
“That, ScumBAG!!!!”
The voices of the F class members can be heard from there
Without thinking, I let my summoned beast, which I just summoned out, jump to the side I’ll kill you! You bastard Yuuji!! I’ll definitely kill you once this war is over!
Immediately afterwards, several layers of wind blades catches the enemies over there, and passes by them
This definitely is the power of the gold bracelet Kubo-kun’s summoned beast has
“Oh, Yoshi+, you came!?”
“You were fooled too, comrade!?”
“Be careful! Focus 20 of our attention on the enemy and 80 on our allies at the back!!”
At the place Yuuji says is the uys are all in a e dealt from the back rows is more than the front, it seems that they’re ferocious warriors in the frontlines, basked in blood
“Ah, Yoshi+-kun It looks like you’re fine after all”
A voice cauard up there
“Ah, Kubo-kun”
Standing over there is Kubo-kun, who just showed off his power just now, together with his summoned beast
“Is it fine for you not to replenish the points you just used up?”
“Sure I ao crazy on the frontlines as much as I want; that’s what Sakamoto-kun said”
Perhaps the tere, but this is what Kubo-kun himself had just said
“Then, I shall go and come back, Yoshi+-kun”
Kubo-kun’s summoned beasts advances forith its deathscythe in hand
“You bastard!! I’ll send you to the remedial room!!”
“This second year!!”
The enee quickly attack Kubo-kun’s summoned beast
Kubo-kun’s sue the attack or use any fancy tricks as he swings a clean slice with the scythe
