Vol 11 Chapter 1 (1/2)
Happy Hot Dash
crap, I told a big lie
It was too late to regret, the words that were uttered were like water that had been poured, with no way to take the could only blankly watch the scene that had been caused by his words -- the girl's shock, as her excite after, however you looked at it, only despair was left
”Is this for real, Ed-san?”
In her childlike, expectant eyes appeared a bit ofto cry, with her cheeks reddening and her breathing beco the current ize)
The cal himself To avoid the crisis before him, only this as left
”I'm sorry, I lied”
”Eh what did you say?”
Thinking about it, maybe this way it was possible to reconcile But it seemed like it would definitely fail After ”Eh what did you say?” could follow ”Impossible!” or ”No way!”, even a yelled ”Go die!” that would strike a deadly blow to hiht becoh Ed's heart with lightning speed
In that case forget it
But, if right now he chose to say so to escape the situation, her expectations would only increase If there was no way to respond to those expectations, the reverse effect would beco not just a hateful exclamation of ”Go die!”, but an even truer excla this, Ed ell aware of it But, he said this
”Don't worry, just watch this! In any case, he and I are friends!”
”Wa~, really, please let it be true!”
The girl excitedly grabbed Ed's hand Her face was very close, though nor her draw close so rapidly, Ed's let hiuarantee it!”
With that, he felt a rising sense of heaven as he opened wide the great doors to hell
Ah~~~ what should be done?
The tense mood h his stoh up blood soon
At lunchtirade bento from the bento store But for this bento, he had almost not moved his chopsticks In the bento store arrived a fairl, but he had not joined the row of her fans Regardless, right now Ed did not knohat sort of girl she was
The whole world had already been covered in darkness
Right noas the so-called saying ”the future is dark”, that Ed could e?)
Self-review -- Ed Delong, an ordinary htly shorter than the average her Body type need not befro special
Self-review only added to his self-disgust Because the weight known as fear of failure was tossing around in his stolanced at the dishes of his bento, before starting to hate it
He closed the lid
”You're not eating?”
A voice suddenly ca Ed so much that he al people, which Ed had seely not been able to hear Actually, he hadn't heard a word fro with him
But, this voice was an exception Because this voice was the one that had totally given rise to this culprit, that devilish voice
”Y, yo!”
To reply, Ed forced a weak greeting
”You're by yourself today?”
Truly, there was hardly a tiirls from his class ere like his attendants, but today it was just him
”Ah, today I'ed a subtle sue He showed a cute expression worthy of studying, as if he wanted to help a s
(All popular people should go die!)
Curse words surged from his chest, but his mouth would never say them Before, he had seen Military Arts as well as violence between ordinary people Even if there were so to use Military Arts, for the vast majority of cases it was favorable to have Military Arts
No,of a probleirls in the class would definitely becoirls who always stuck to the devil weren't there, there were et in a ith him
(Ah, ah, it really is)
This devil in the end, as so good about Layfon? Ed wondered froht, and his well-proportioned limbs No matter how you look at it, it must be his Military Arts! That he became a platoon th During the platoon ood at studying let other guys rejoice, but his prowess during home economics class made him famous as a familial expert
Well, it would be better not to think of that, because frole he was incomparable
(Hurry up and die, devil!)
Why did such a perfect guy exist in this world? Ed could only beat hirades than hirades who stood out more than Ed were sireatest mind of the male students - the student council president, Karian Loss Intellect, poealth, appearance, he had all four God, please quickly let these kinds of people disappear!
After cursing all males in the world ere ed to face Layfon ordinarily
If this was the way of the world, then he wanted to cry Ed already lost track of what he wanted to say
”Oh ho? How rare! Are you fighting?”
After politely saying those words, he should quickly return
”No, it's really not that sort of situation”
Vague, so it couldn't be told whether they were truly fighting Ed conceived a kind of ”You deserved it!” ?”
For soht stayed on Ed's bento
”Could it be that you want this?”
”Ah, this month there's a bit of a financial crisis, and I've always been thinking of saving”
The e appetite, and even female Military Artists could relaxedly finish this type of bento If one thought about this fact it was a bit annoying, why don't they occasionally gain a bit of fat too!
No, it was because they were Military Artists that they were this robust - as expected of a Military Artist!
Ed i appearance
Wait, wasn't he usually always eating Meishen's hand-, didn't that ood opportunity!)
Opportunity once he thought of this the atrew ht it wouldn't be a good thing
But, if he didn't act now, things would become worse
”You want to buy it?”
”How ry!
”Five hundred yen”
”So expensive, that's the cafeteria's selling price! It doesn't have to be that expensive, right? One hundred!”
Unexpectedly tough - Military artists were all misers!
”Three hundred!”
”One fifty!”
”You know the original price of this bento, two hundred fifty!”
”Two hundred!”
Deal!
After co the transaction, Ed started a new topic
”Do you think you could listen to my request”
Suddenly, Layfon's hands stopped
”What is it?”
Ed decided to explain the situation to him
◇
The scene shi+fted to the roof Fro school building
”Do you see that girl over there?”
”Hair like this?”
Layfon used his hand holding his fork to draw curls on his head
”Right, right”
Truthfully, Ed as nodding couldn't really see clearly froroup of fe, he didn't know anything
Even so, he could i body, and eyes and even h
”She's called Amy Cook”
”Oh”
Layfon's reaction was only this
”Don't recognize her?”
”Nope”
Eating the bento while shaking his head, even after reconfirhtest interest Should he be relieved at Layfon's reaction, or should he be restless? Ed's feelings were very mysterious
”She's a member of the seventeenth platoon's fan club!”
”Eh?”
Layfon's busily dining hands instantly stopped
”What is that?”
”What is that!? You don't know? Fan club?”
”I don't know, though I've heard of it once, what is it?”
”What is it a fan club is just a fan club!”
It see, as Ed let out a sigh
”Pretty much every platoon has its own fan club! Even if it's just a city platoon ive everything to be at the platoonfor the platoon!”
”Ah”
”'Ah' Is that it!?”
”Even if you say that, I still don't really understand the irls doing?”
Feeling that this language was difficult to understand, Layfon changed the topic
”What do you think?”
Layfon shook his head,thisthis on purpose? Are you purposely uy”
”You said that before too, why auy?”
”Your expression is the expression of a popular guy!”
Even if people called hi shy or indecisive Wearing an expression of innocence as if holding doubt towards this was also just a standard that the popular guy department used!
”You super popular enemy! You monstrously constructed person! Anyhow, if you want other ht!”
”See absurd”
Layfon let himself look at the bento with a discontent face For now, shouldn't satisfying his appetite be the ure out what kind of work she's doing!”
If changing Layfon's awareness was ress at all Not to mention just now he himself had indeed been a little anxious Well, if he were to explain it his as they were, he could only patiently say it
This kind of tiny shop welcoet to know each other, o haven't really had any particular contact Of course, she hasn't coinally they orking at the saes between the new He had been like this in his previous school, and after coe Ed's class waswork he had not talked with anyone
Ah, he already understood He had al to the opposite sex But even if this were the case, it couldn't be said that he didn't have people that he liked
”Me, I like her”
He had never spoken these words to any other person Not only did this refer to confessing, but even in the company of his fellow male students he had never said a word in this direction
Ed was too e at his feet
Layfon didn't respond, and the fork in his hands also stopped
With no other option, Ed raised his head
Subsequently, the red-faced red-eared Layfon greeted his eyes
”You, why is your face red!?”
”H, Hoould I know!! Anyould you tell ! Isn't it because if I didn't tell you that, there wouldn't be any progress?”
”Huh!?”
”Because what I want to ask of you is related to this!”
”Why!?”
Ed's sha, and he raised his voice as well
”All you do is ask why! It's because there are no other options!”
He had only recently learned that Amy was a member of the seventeenth platoon's fan club Because Ao work after the platoonin particular about it Usually she would just chat about ordinary topics
He had only recently learned about this situation from her mouth
The Military Arts competition, the war between cities One week after the ith the Acadeht as the city returned from its festive atmosphere after the war to its normal state
”Ah~~, I want to see it too! Layfon's heroic battle”
That was during break tiThe rest of the workers weren't there, and the boss was in the business office i
A world of only two people, not a bad opportunity Only because of this, he had said what he did
It was good that A Most students were only able to have exchanges with students fro schools Students orked like this were very nuo work after teaching had finished In this regard, students prioritized activities with their class, and if they had free time they would participate in club activities or other social activities
The Military Artist Layfon was very busy, and also worked the legendary hardest job of cleaning the Mechanical Department His daily routine had no intersection with Aence that Amy was in the fan club, this time he could only make a bet
So he said this
”Actually, I'm a classmate of Layfon! And our relationshi+p isn't bad!”
He did not consider the proble
In order to make himself look reliable, all the problems that he should have considered beforehand were postponed till later
He thought that he had done soly foolish
”Why!?”
”Ah, co why all you can do Didn't I say that there was no other choice! I was forced by the situation!”
Ed threw out his reply to the lost Layfon He still had not ood friends Anyway, hoould Layfon react? Ed felt a bit of a heartache
”Okay, what happened after that?”
Layfon's face was a bit stiff Maybe he already had so words, he was that shocked
If it was like this, even if there wasn't such an uncoo there
”Ah, well, I pro out”
”Ah, huh”
”That's what I said, but the other party definitely wants to date you”
”Well”
As he thought about how Around his teeth Amy had even acted like that, so what should be made of the e had been for the sake of those two eyes
Because the one who had let her reveal those eyes was himself
Ed could not betray that pair of eyes, even if it was a lie he had to turn it into reality
”Listen up, Layfon”
Ed grabbed Layfon's shoulders Layfon, however, kept his posture of carrying his bento
They seemed so slim, but once you touched them you could feel the hard muscles, they really were a pair of hard and heavy shoulders
This was a Military Artist Ed thought this, as this was perhaps the first time he actually touched the body of a Military Artist
”Personally, I like Amy”
”Ah, er, yeah”
Layfon du from Ed's eyes actually made the out of battle seventeenth platoon's ace s
”So I definitely, definitely want to make this date a success It must become the best date! For that I need your cooperation, so please!”
Ed desperately conveyed these words Continuing to grab Layfon's shoulders, he lowered his head
”Eh, uh, ah, I get it”
Layfon agreed, so this problean
”Ah, er, Layfon!”
”Huh?”
”What do you think would make the best date?”
”Hah?”
”I've never done that kind of thing, but Layfon definitely has, right? What ood date?”
”I, I don't know!”
From the roof came Layfon's cry
◇
Question: In tied by what they do not understand, what should be done?
Answer: Seek instruction from those who do understand
For this purpose, two people skipped class to coht noas not the time to attend class,- sos unknownclass was their original target But they could not go to where they wanted in the ti in the lunch break So as a result, the two ended up skipping class
”Yo-”
The person they were looking for was leisurely lying on the level grass
”It's rare to see you Layfon-san, did you always have the class-skipping attribute?”
”I ca for you, Sharnid-seht by surass didn't make one feel cold The place under the shade of the trees was very cool and co alone in this park by the road next to the artificial forests?
Before Layfon had spoken, he had not knohat this person called Sharnid was here for
”Are you here to practice Kei?”
”Ah? I wouldn't do that kind of thing, I'm just here to sleep! My, what kind of ruh it's because my talent is difficult to suppress”
The hing slightly - even this kind of simple action made Ed annoyed The seventeenth platoon's sniper Sharnid Elipton, a ap between the tas visible at a glance
”Ah, for what are you looking forto discuss with you”
”Ah~~?”
Sharnid looked at Layfon, then looked at Ed behind Layfon Afterwards, he immediately realized that the one anted to find him to discuss was not Layfon but rather Ed, and revealed a knowing expression
”What kind of thing?”
Since he was being stared at, he couldn't keep relying on Layfon to explain
Ed honestly explained the situation Although he had earlier spoken with Layfon with great momentum, his voice was like a h it was uncoe their words through ordinary methods, but if it were the words of a seasoned individual it would be difficult In the first place, Amy didn't have any reason to talk to him, as Ed wasn't even in her field of vision, moreover Ed didn't dare to speak with her
”Okay, I understand”
After introducing the situation Sharnid deeply nodded his head - his head practically touched his knee When had he sat up with his legs crossed?
The three men naturally formed a circle
”The main point of that date isn't Layfon but rather you, ants to shi+ne brightly, correct?”
”Eh, that's right, but, no, I haven't thought about that yet!”
”Huh? If you don't start thinking about success or failure, you'll definitely have no chance to speak of!”
”Eh, ahhhh!?”
”Then, for now just follow this Ah, when does it start?”
”Eh, the ti to Layfon, his work rotation starts today”
”Ehhh, so you're telling us to just listen to everything you say?”
In short, the words that they were not able to express ere all correctly received by Sharnid
”So, what place would be good in three days? We don't have to wait too long, exactly three days later is exam day, and we'll be free in the afternoon Layfon, don't sweat tooyour exams! The smell of sweat can't be covered up, and after exams finish you won't have time to take a shower”
”Uh”
”H loose, nothing too tight”
”I don't have that kind of clothing!”
”Ah, that's right! What you're wearing should be fine So Ed, what about you? Remember that you're the ht up
”What are your thoughts about your own apparel?”
”I, I don't have any”
In the first place he didn't think there were any clothes that were proper for his body type Handsome clothes were all , there aren't any clothes that you consider handsome? Ah, that's also hopeless, hopeless”
”Haah”
”How about this, we'll go pick clothing now”
”Eh?”
”Isn't that obvious? You want to be reht? So then you should hurry up and get pueous position Quickly begin taking steps, okay”
”Y, Yes sir!”
Sharnid's personal guidance gave Ed great hope
◇
Three days later, Layfon who arrived early to theplace was surpised
”What What happened?”
”Eh~ Can't you tell at a glance?”
Ed's face but no wonder, the past three days had been incredibly busy Sharnid had not only reco and other related topics
As Sharnid proposed to Ed, he had begun busily checking out nearby shops andfor some time, there were indeed some results But it was still too early to meet, and no matter how you saw it this was only the first step Did the shops really have no probleone over each shop once again, and ended up getting no sleep Ed had gone over the situations of every shop in his brain, including their contests, different dishes, and decorations By the tiht now, Ed had a serious lack of sleep
”Aren't you in trouble?”
”For this kind of situation, I prepared this!”
Ed took out an energy drink, drinking it in one gulp On the bottle's tag ritten the words ”Military Artists' Energy Drink”
After digesting a mouth full of herbs, a concentrated aftertaste remained This would definitely have an effect
However, Layfon did not voice his feelings
”I've never seen anyone who drinks that kind of thing”
”Really!?”
”People who are able to enter platoons are able to fight for two or three days without rest”
”No, it has an effect! I' Layfon's words
There wasn't much time left before he was at a distance to reach A To cover his soer), and denim pants (standard overalls) He had also cut his hair short
