35 The Romance of Looking Down From a Rooftop (1/2)

I am now on a roof, looking out over the entire academy.

I can see everybody in the school being shepherded towards the auditorium. The auditorium is so huge that it can easily fit everybody. The school entrance ceremony is always held there, and sometimes there are plays or speakers or whatnot that are also held there.

I can see many knights crowding around outside the academy, drawn here by all the noise. But they are maintaining a certain distance away, probably because that's the boundary beyond which magic is sealed.

There are almost no more presences within the rest of the school grounds. There's only men in black scouring the rooms for any students who are still hiding.

While looking at the state of the academy, a laugh escapes my lips.

I've always wanted to do this.

School under attack, students under capture, mysterious terrorist organization, and me, looking over it all from a rooftop.

I got to check off one item on my to-do list.

”Me looking down from a rooftop.”

Been there, done that.

Well then, what should I play to occupy my time until night falls?

Actually, I've had a thought ever since those men in black rushed into my classroom.

That these terrorists have zero sense of esthetics.

It is now afternoon. The sun is shining brightly, the sky is clear with not a cloud in sight, and there's a refreshing wind blowing. Then there's these guys, wearing black longcoats.

How ridiculous.

They have made a crucial mistake.

That is... they have underestimated TPO.

Everyone is free to choose their own fashion, but disregarding TPO would turn it into mistaken fashion.

As such, now, they just look dumb. Black longcoats are only for night time, duh.

But well, I want to enjoy this for a while longer, so it's not a problem that they're taking their time. What a waste it would be for this to end quickly.

I have decided on Operation Take-My-Time-Till-Night.

While looking over the academy with such thoughts in my head, I spy two men in black walking down a hallway.

Yep, black longcoats in broad daylight really do look dumb.

Hey, let's play sniper.

I cut out a thumb-sized piece of slime from my slime suit.

I roll it into a ball and imbue it with magic, lie down on the rooftop, then take a finger flick pose.

”You fool, you're in my line of fire.”

So muttering, I flick.

Psshun.

Leaving behind the sound of something slicing through air, the slime ball pierces through the man's forehead.

”Ah...”

Then the slime ball also pierces the other man's heart.

To think that I'd get the One Shot Two Kills achievement here.

Come on, I wanted to shoot one more time.

”Oh well, let's look for another target then.”

I ready another slime ball, then close one eye and curl my fingers over my other eye, as if I'm looking through a scope.

I spy a defenseless idiot walking around the school building that I'm facing.

”Target confirmed, pink-haired girl... eh?”

Isn't that Sherry?

What is she doing. She's walking around while restlessly looking all around, but she's actually already been found.

”Sherry-chan, they've noticed you.”

I see a man in black rapidly approaching Sherry from behind her.

I take aim... then flick.

Psshun.

The man's head bursts.

”Mission complete.”

Sherry continues walking on, oblivious to what had happened, until she turns a corner and leaves my sight.

Fumu, she's involved with all this.

My mob sensor is telling me, with utmost certainty, that the main scenario is proceeding right now.

When the main scenario finally reaches the climax, then I appear gallantly as a power from the shadows... noice.

Alright.

I gather magic in my legs, confirm that no one is looking, then jump.

”Tou!”

(T/N: In sentai shows, jumping while saying 'tou' somehow makes it cooler lol.)

I land on the roof of that other building.
