This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Author Notes: Please savor all the heroine moments because after we enter the dungeon we won’t see them for a while. He is soloing it after all.
——————————-
I part ways with Iori after we finish our meals. Now then, let’s go meet Sempai! or I was supposed to.
A fluffy pink hair entered my sight. I was on my way to meet sempai but since I saw her for the first time in a while, I called out to her.
“Good afternoon, Luigia-sensei.”
She jumped in surprise and slowly turns to look my way.
“U, Uuu.”
She was making a stiff smile but it seems she gave up halfway and shows me a depressed expression.
“Um, what is it? Umm, I already made up my resolve……”
What should I talk to her again? When I turned silent, Sensei continues to speak.
“Um, it’s my first time so…”
“Just what are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Can you not suddenly reveal something like that? I know all that is to know about the heroines in the first place. In sensei’s case, if I remember correctly, since the first person she liked turned out to have a boyfriend, she was pulled back by stuff like this. It must be shocking in many ways for her…… I can guess that much.
“Luigia-sama, Goshujin-sama likes to take things slow so you can start with a lap pillow first.”
Nanami suddenly gets in front of me and said so.
“Eh, Um, if it’s just that then…….”
You are fine with that? There’s no one around anyway so I will not refuse that offer!
“Um, Nee, Takioto-kun…. I’ve never seen this child before.”
Sensei confusingly asked while looking at Nanami.
Right, I’ve never seen anyone walking around in the academy with a maid uniform too. There are some that wear Japanese clothes though. Just what is up with this academy……..
“Aah, she just recently enrolled.”
“Eeh, recently? Eh, I haven’t heard anything though……?”
The person with the highest authority (Marino-san) gave her permission so I think it should be fine, probably. Well, this might become a long story.
“I haven’t seen you in a while, how are you doing since then?”
Sensei became visibly more cheerful.
“About that, I have been able to live my life with a little more leeway now, I don’t have to answer the calls from the loan sharks too. Speaking of which, I have something to request of you.”
Sensei holds down her peach-colored hair and fidgeting bashfully.
“A request?”
“Umm…I want you to increase my pocket money……”
I understand why Nanami’s face twitched. It’s normally something to be surprised about anyway. A teacher asking her student for pocket money.
“I don’t mind but what are you going to use it for?”
Currently, Luigia-sensei is living under the pocket money system. Her salary from the academy didn’t enter her bank account but mine instead. From there, I separate the amount that will be used to repay her debt and the amount necessary for her basic utilities then allocate only the amount that would be fine if she spent it into her bank account. When I transferred the money to her using internet banking, I was wondering to myself why do I have to do such a thing.
“Umm you see, there’s this comfortable-looking sleep pillow so……”
“Alright, dismissed. Nanami, let’s go.”
“Wait a minute, where are you going!?”
I just thought it would be useless even if I keep listening.
“Please, a little is fine, they said that I can only buy it now you know!?”
“Aa fine, fine. A sleep pillow huh. It’s fine since it’s cheap. I will transfer you the money later.”
I can order it online and send it to her later too.
“That’s no good! You can only buy it now!”
That’s clearly a scam right!?
“It’s no good at all, and I just gave you your pocket money right?”
Sensei plays with her hair while sticking her tongue out.
“There’s this really good futon so……I bought it…….”
That’s cute but it’s out of the question.
“Let’s set your bank account on cooling off.”
(TLN: JP bank system – It is a special system to protect consumers, by cancelling contract unilaterally and unconditionally, for more detail Click Here. )
I shook off the swaying sensei and head to meet sempai at the meeting place. It seems like Sempai already arrived, she stayed in her seat while stared at us in shock.
“Ah, Sempai, sorry………I’m late.”
“A, Aah. I was just too early. You are just in time.”
Sempai seemed a little restless. Well, I know the reason, just how long do you plan to stick yourselves to me?!
“Sempai, how is the situation look like from your perspective?”
“It’s like you caught your wife cheating and she is clinging to you while saying [Please, I don’t want to break up.]”
Is that a melodrama? This will definitely become a rumor tomorrow.
“I see, if I do it like this then it might be better right.”
Saying so, Nanami clings onto my arm on the opposite side of sensei. It’s complete the image of women fighting for a man. This is that right? The thing you often see in those Whitish Album series or sakul Days? (TLN: It was Gakkou days in the raw…..)
Like a scene from the melodrama, Nanami and Luigia-sensei are pushing (pressing) themselves on each of my arms. I bow my head to sempai.
“I’m really sorry. I brought you something strange.”
“I, it’s fine, I was surprised but it’s okay.”
Looking at Nanami, it seems like she is discussing something with Luigia-sensei.
“Ahem, the exam will start tomorrow but you will challenge the dungeon right?”
“Yes, I will. Well, I didn’t intend to talk with anyone about this other than Marino-san and Nanami though…..”
I even told her that I don’t want to make them worry but Marino-san ended up spilling the beans the very next day……
“I see, Fufu. So you are really going.”
“Yes, I am. I come to the academy to prepare for just that.”
I got what I wanted. There’s only a little more I need to do to enter the Academy dungeon. That’s why I came to prepare today.
Hahaha, sempai laughed like she finds something funny.
“The reason I laughed at you before has changed from when you said you would surpass me but it is because I admire the current you, you know?”
Saying so, Sempai pulls out a green pouch from her uniform and put it on her hand. Then she walked toward me.
Taking another step closer, Sempai bashfully wipes up her beautiful black hair on to her ear, Exposing her moistened white cheeks and her crescent-shaped ear.
Then, she directed her gentle eyes like she was watching a newborn animal at me while letting out a smile.
“Give me your hand.”
When I stretched out my hand, Sempai put a pouch-like something on my palm. Then she wrapped both her hands around mine.
“You said it lightly but the thing that you are trying to do has never been done before and it is an extremely difficult task.”
“Is that so?”
“Look here, you are still taking this lightly. That dungeon is not such an easy place, it will be very difficult, you know that right?”
“No no, I expected that it will be difficult. But at the same time, I think I can do it. I was thinking, if I can’t even do this much then it would be impossible for me to become the strongest.”
“This much, huh. This is hard. If it’s just the battle then I might be able to do it but considering the time frame, it would be impossible for me. Perhaps president Monika might be able to do it.”
Sempai erased the smile from her face and look at me with a serious expression.
“To tell you the truth, I want to go with you. I want you to take me with you, you know?”
Even I want to take you with me. Sempai, Ludi and Nanami, I want to take everyone with me. But just this time I can’t do that.
“Hey, don’t make such a face. You have your reason right? I understand.”
Sempai slowly releases her hand like she was parting with something precious. What’s left in my hand is an amulet with a familiar landscape sewed on it.
In case you are not familiar with Omamori or Japanese Amulet.
What was sewed on it was the image of a waterfall. It’s a picture of a small waterfall and a small stream. That beautiful landscape.
That waterfall where we first met.
That waterfall is private property. There are only a few people who know about that place and the people who actually visit it are even fewer. That’s why you can’t find something like this in a store.
It’s a handmade amulet.
“It isn’t worth as much as the ring you gave me but…”
Sempai said with a smile. I tightly squeeze the amulet inside my hand.
“Sempai……That’s not true at all. If I was told to choose between those five rings and your amulet then I will throw those rings into an incinerator without hesitation.”
Those rings might be valuable but this amulet that Sempai took her precious time to make for me is much more valuable to me.
“Haha, that would be a waste right, you fool. But, thank you.”
I slowly open my hand and look at the amulet.
“Sempai, seriously what are you doing when the exam is so near….you even accompany me in my training too, I wonder which of us is the fool here. I am really happy”
This amulet is quite well made. It’s not something simple that you can make in one or two hours. It’s an important time before the exam but not only she accompanied me in my training she even took her time making this for me.
“Takioto….I wish for your success.”
