「Okay! We came back safely!」
Hironobu and Firana returned from the elf forest. Valeria was fidgeting, a bit restless as she had come to a human country
When Hironobu is about to head to his room.
「You came back, Ozawa-kun」
Youko greeted him.
「What’s wrong? Sensei」
「I have business with you」
「Me? What is it? If it’s something lewd then It’s welcome」
Youko didn’t take it even as a joke1
(Oh? Did I fail…?)
He’s daunted a bit.
「That’s not wrong. The female class is waiting at the dining room so let’s go there」
「…」
He had a bad feeling somehow but Hironobu was taken to the dining room by Youko.
Meanwhile, he asked the state of the battle of the fort.
「N-no way…Sensei」
「It’s not a lie. It seems that Amano had died from the previous battle」
They’re not in a relationship just like before2
Still, the death of Hironobu’s childhood friend was big for him.
(Miyuki…!)
He have to switch his mind. Though he can’t hide his shock, if he didn’t pretend to be strong then Miyuki would hate him even further3
(A-among these…)
Hironobu breathed deeply
Entering, the girls are already waiting.
(I don’t like this atmosphere)
All of the glances gathered to Hironobu.
He’s awfully weak on this kind of feeling, he already wants to go back right now.
「You see, Ozawa-kun. I already told them about your ability」
「Seriously, Sensei!?」
There’s no wonder that the atmosphere is strange.
(Oh, I’m completely hated now…)
When he thought of that,
「Ozawa Hironobu…I want you to listen to us!」
That Ashibi Ayaka approached Hironobu.
‘hat’s this turn of events?’, he thought, then she spoke.
「Your power is needed for us to survive in this world!」
「What? What do you mean?」
「During the fort capture…We almost thought that we’re going to die. Then my own powerlessness…」
Her voice is fading away, then Fairy came to him this time.
「You see, Ayaka-chan leaked when she’s about to be killed by the enemy」
「W-wait! Kisaragi-san!」
Youko intervened earlier than Ayaka.
「Leak…you mean wetting herself?」
I guess it went out because of fear.
(To make this strong woman leak herself. I guess it was really scary)
Coming up to here, Hironobu predicted her thoughts.
「I see. So you’re saying that you’re going to rely on my ability this late?」
「I-Is that no good?」
「Nope」
Hironobu said it clearly.
