Chapter 6 (2/2)
It’s okay, s fine all this tiain now
As I thought about that, I take a peek at her expression…
…Whoa, not looking too good…I have a feeling that I just messed up
It’s kinda like that situation when you’re going on a blind date and you casually asked the girl for her nuoes “…Eh??”
Botheach other next move…
After a while, the principal speaks, breaking the silence
“Th, That’s right Arakawa-kun, There’s so?”
Fiuh, I’ht start crying and run home…
“Oh, ould that be?”
This is where I should far what she wants to know They say beauties have lots of other beauties as friends, and not toto attend, so I need to keep up a good impression
“I want to know more about you”
“About me (ore)? Oh, pardon me If you want to know more about me (boku), it’s fine to ask”
Whoaaa! I’ot the beautiful principal saying (I want to know more about you), I’m so shocked I just answered on impulse!!
Wait, don’t start entleht, since deep inside entleman!
“You don’t have answer if you don’t want to…”
The principal said that with a hasty tone There’s no way I’d refuse!
More like, it’s a blessing for me!
“What is it? What about me do you want to know?”
I ask that as I try to keepas normal as possible She beca me
“You shot a firework off the shore when you were 12, right? What were you trying to do that time?”
U at that time…
More i I barely remember myself?
Oh well Let’s try to remember… Firework…firework… AH!? That!
If I remember it correctly, at that time, that macho is at home for once
He showed me how to construct a rocket flare that he used at work
Since thatthe unexplored areas in Africa, A it was probably used to drive aild animals
I don’t really listened to the details he said, but the conclusion is, if the rocket flews too high, then anyone would easily spotted it, and it’s definitely a problem
Hearing that, I tried shooting it off the shore, and it flews up at the altitude of 80m above sea level Exactly like he said, it was too easily spotted as clear as the day So I tried consulting Mom about it, and she said, it’ll probably be better if we increase its speed and lowering the flying altitude So I rando with the rocket’s flying illustration and gave it to her And voila, 6 months later she made an improved version of that firework rocket
The firework enius mom made, flew at 1200 KM/h at 2m altitude, and it also auto it off the shore, it flew like crazy and disappeared into the horizon… Now that I rehter aircrafts and it was quite a sight to see When I told her that, she nodded and seems impressed Great, she o out of his way to askfather I must have scored a lot with that!
“Then, what did you launch froe 13?”
Ah, that, I think that was the tiue of that macho said she wanted to see how the earth looks like Well, since I think she probably helped thatmom, and had her modify that previous firework rocket
Then I installed it into mom’s handmade mini-artificial satellite and launched it off That time the lady was really excited by how photos that was sent back froood you can see the tiny details It sure orth the effort Oh and while I’ similar with those rockets 2What exactly did I launch will be unknown but to me, since it’s a secret
“Won’t you tell me what you launched besides that satellite?”
No, I’onna tell you even if you look at e the subject somehow
Then suddenly, a knock come from the door
“Principal, it’s about time for the Entrance Ceremony”
Just at a perfect tilamorous blonde lady came into the room…
—- Yamamoto Kaori POV —-
“Welcoy Academy, Arakawa Kouki-kun I’m the academy principal, Yamamoto Kaori”
After I introducea fool out of me
“Thank you Miss Principal Allow me to introduce myself properly
I am Arakawa Kouki I’ll be in your care for the next 3 years”
From his expression and his at…
(I know that much Can’t you even tell? You stupid woman…)
This is bad, I have to break this silence… I desperately thought out of a plan and executes it, in which I iret
“Th, That’s right Arakawa-kun, There’s so?”
What aht now, I can’t even comprehend what I just said He asked me to continue, his eyes are serious… I said the next words, as if obeying to the devil’s whisper
“I want to know more about you”
I gasped after I said that
What did I just say! I probably just said thea stern expression as he gives me his consent
Isn’t it better to stop here? Such thought crosses my mind But it was too late My curiosity as a scholar has already grew too big for me to stop myself The demon child… I recalled that he was called like that If I knew any back for ear that conceals his true form But even so, I don’t mind I want to know the truth
“You shot a firework off the shore when you were 12, right? What were you trying to do that time?”
He answered with a s to hi When he tested the missile, it was far below his standard and far froned a modification and asked his mother to make it…
The result of that, is aones The JDF put their dignity on the line as they desperately tries to intercept thechildrenruckus
“The light of the fighter aircrafts that day was quite a sight to see”
That hat he said He probably said that to show up his confidence, that no ether, there’s just nothing that they could do As a scholar, I can only nodding impressed, to that confidence he had in his own creation Then I also tried asking about the rocket he launched off when he was 13
It seems like the rocket he launched off from his yard was a spy-satellite A request froue is probably a … Since that person said you can see tiny details from that satellite, it’s specification is undoubtedly, far surpasses the currently existing satellite technologies
But he launched it 3 times, when I asked about that, he answered that it was a secret
I saw hi, that it’s the end if anyone were to found out what he launched
Soet flustered, and that the only way to hide it is by launching it off to space… There’s only one thing that come up to my mind…
“…Biological Weapon”
There’s probably no h infectivity, or very lethal, or probably both, a virus that can’t possibly be ed on earth, he threw it away into space I al that could wipe out the entire huht…
Is this so him moral ethics?
Not long after, so
“Principal, it’s about time for the Entrance Ceremony”
Roberta Scarlet, his to-be homeroom teacher entered the room
—- Roberta Scarlet POV —-
As I lead the two, I took a glance to the young e one, since aze atthat
Not only that, it’s as if he has no interest in me
This is the first tiot this kind of treatment and I can’t help but feel perplexed
But there’s no way I could ask hi to look atthe two
The headmaster said that this boy will be a student of the class I’e with, but I still don’t knohat kind of person he is… I was thinking et to know him better while I’m at it, but I don’t knohat to say to him and before I know it, we already arrived at the destination
I took him to his seat, and then I went to ood teacher for students like him, for the next 1 year?
I can’t help but worry about it…
EDNote :
You guys probably have heard of RADAR, SAM installation, and other ht?
But those rockets Kouki made, can flew at Mach 1 (~1200 km/h) and in low altitude (~2m) It makes it really hard, if not impossible, to intercept
Thus referring to Chapter 5, when even the Naval Forces can’t even intercept it
TL;DR sick hoot there bruh
I promise I’ll upload the Chapter 07 in 6-7 hours
PS: Jen already buy the LN version, but she only give us the photo of the illustration
