Magical★Explorer Chapter 80 - The Academy After a Long Time.

The Academy After a Long Time.

In the game Magical★Explorer, if you asked me who stood out the most inside the academy then I will nominate two people without any hesitation. The reason is simple, the way they wore their uniforms inside the academy is clearly strange.

I still haven’t met all of them but I already found one. The senior a.s.sistant (Vice president) of the s.h.i.+kibukai, Himemiya s.h.i.+on.

If I have to say what’s strange about her then it would be the part that she always wears her pure j.a.panese-style dress even though she has the academy uniform. No rule restricts you to only wear the uniform inside the academy but it was like she rejected the idea of the uniform that everyone is wearing itself, you can’t help but admire the way she walks her own path.

Additionally, looking at her bearing and elegance att.i.tude, you can tell that she lived her life gracefully from a young age. Moreover, the fact that she is considered taller than an average woman also helped in making her standout. It was like a single chrysanthemum stood tall in the field of dandelions. Even if you are far away you would always find her with the feeling of ‘Ah, it’s s.h.i.+on-san’. Also, because she is a part of the s.h.i.+kibukai which is much hated among the students, people tend to move to avoid her themselves, enhancing her presence even more.

However, if you asked whether she is presently the most stood out student then that might not be the case.

Certainly, s.h.i.+on-san is conspicuous. It might be because of her strong character and that she easily leave behind an impression in people’s mind. But in reality, that can’t make her the most conspicuous person inside the academy.

The thing that hit me that Magiero really became a reality was the fact that Ludi stood out among the academy more than I expected. On top of being a part of the imperial family of the Trefle empire, she is unworldly beautiful. There’s no way to dispute that, the forming of the Fanclub called LLL might be inevitable.

However, the LLL (Ludi’s fanclub) decided that [Let’s act behind the scene to let Ludi-sama lead a healthy and peaceful school life]. That’s why it seems like the Fanclub members are unnecessarily taking distance from Ludi. Then coupled with her too high a social status, no people approach her besides her close friends.

That’s why there is always a sanctuary-like mysterious s.p.a.ce around her surroundings. The same also applied to the student council president, Monika-sempai, that’s why she is very noticeable.

But recently, a new face has emerged that attracted much attention without losing to them.

That’s a group of two, one of which is a man. That guy has a lot of bad rumors going about him. Additionally, that man also wears a stupidly long stole and can talk on a friendly term with her highness Ludi as well. However, he is being looked down on since he been skipping cla.s.ses recently. And after he came to the academy after a long time, he brought along a silver-haired transcendent beautiful girl in a maid uniform with him. Now he has a beautiful maid gallantly taking care of him.

Just who are they?

Yep, that’s us.

“Hora, everyone is taking their distance and looking our way, we are starting to become a rumor too.”

It’s as Iori said, the people inside the cafeteria are pouring their gazes our way. It’s almost like a zoo. Of course, it’s an open one.

Perhaps the transcendent beauty Nanami is being glanced upon more than me. Rather, she is enjoying the situation. She even took care of me like she is putting on a show. But you know, can you not say something like [Do you want a lap pillow!] out loud, please? You are definitely playing here, right? The astonis.h.i.+ng expression on the student’s faces directed our way are quite enjoyable though.

Later, if possible I will have that laps pillow and have her clean my ear at home…. No, that’s too embarra.s.sing I can’t say it out loud.

Well, if it’s like this then it’s not weird that we became the center of attention. If I am in their position I would stare too. h.e.l.l, I will even start the rumor myself. Like, switch places with me d.a.m.n it.

“…….Sorry, Iori. you can take some distance away from me too you know?”

When I said so, a cup of coffee is placed in front of me. Apparently, Nanami seemed to prepare it for me with care.

After that, she continues to place the coffee in front of Iori and set aside the cube sugar shaped like star and moon. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Iori smiles broadly and says [Thank you] then picks up the sugar. I wanted to say [Haha, you took out too much right?] but Iori puts every single one of it inside his coffee.

And enjoyably drink it.

“Taking distance?……….what are you saying Kousuke-kun?”

There is only heart-shaped sugar on my plate, I want the star and moon shape too you know? Well, never mind about that, these sugar look so cute so I want one though.

“I know that you are a very good person Kousuke-kun. Moreover, you are my friend right? If Kousuke-kun says that you don’t want to be with me then…..umm, I can leave……..”

What is this guy?

“Iori, order as much as you like. It doesn’t matter if you ordered the entire menu. I will pay for it.”

Seriously, what a good guy…..! He lends me his note when I skipped cla.s.s, and the noted point wasn’t the point that will be on the test, it was the point where I was struggling at.

E, even if you do this, I won’t hand you the seat of the strongest you know!

“Th, that’s something a friend would do! Moreover, you even introduced the dungeons to me via the message right!?”

I calm the panicked Iori down and order parfaits for him and Nanami. He is still holding back so I forcefully told him that it was for the note he lent me while Nanami is eating it as a matter of course.

No, it’s not like I want to see her say A~hn or anything alright? She just held it in front of her mouth when she tried to eat it.

Not bad.

“Come to think of it, are you going to be fine with the exam Takioto-kun? There are only two days left you know?”

I tried to forcefully eat Nanami’s parfait when Iori asked me with a bitter smile.

“It’s not fine but perhaps it will be.”

I won’t take it in the first place though. I already told Marino-san so I haven’t flip open any notes or textbooks for the past few days. If it is about flipping then I have been flipping the turtles though.

Rather, I don’t want everyone to worry about me so I asked her not to tell Ludi and the others. Just why did she told them the very next day I wonder.

“ ? Katou-san and the others are having Ludivine-san tutor them while desperately study inside the library you know? But….Un, you see…….”

It’s fine. I can guess it without you telling me. So that’s the reason Ludi was holding her head at the breakfast this morning huh.

“Well, it’s fine. I will take first place in the school year anyway.”

“Really?”

Iori said so while lowering his eyebrows. However, the parfait stuffed inside his mouth immediately any trace of his serious expression. Then he raised his voice.

“Speaking of which I remembered, at the library, there’s a librarian that is a beauty no less than Ludivine-san or Nanami-san you know.”

“Hee, is it Sakura-san?”

“Ah, so you do know her. Yes, that’s her. You know, I didn’t plan to borrow any book but she told me that it’s better to register if I planned to use the library later. Since she was super beautiful, I unintentionally stared at her.”

“I see, she is certainly a beauty huh.”

Well, I never met her since I came to this world though.

“Then what about the thing beside the exam? Like the dungeon for example.”

“It’s smooth sailing. It’s not president Monika but I have been capturing dungeons with the people from the student council you know.”

“Hmm, that’s great isn’t it.”

I am relieved. It seems that he is properly progressing on the student council route. If he keeps this up and progresses through a little more event he should be able to join the student council soon.

“It’s all thanks to you, Takioto-kun. You gave me lots of advice too.”

Well, I certainly gave him advice but…

“Nah, I didn’t do anything. If it’s going well then it’s the result of your action and the effort you put in.”

Actually, the only thing I did was introduce him to suitable dungeons.

“R, really?”

“Yes, really.”

“I’m glad to hear that. I have been working very hard lately. Moreover, it’s going so well recently, I have a feeling like I am getting stronger too.”

His talent is blooming. If this is the case then he will become absurdly strong when he enters the student council. That’s why.

“Well, I am not going to lose.”

“Mou, then I won’t lose to you either.”

Hahaha, we laughed together.

I’m not kidding though.
