Mundane School Life

Blue sky without a single cloud was spreading vast, in a corner of resident area that

was filled with comfortable cool air that was characteristic of the morning time,

――*gashan-*

Such sound of crashing and,

――Gupeh!?

Such scream were resounding.

"...Hajime? Are you listening?"

"Hm? A, aah. I'm listening Yue."

Yue who was walking beside Hajime while making footstep sounds regularly puffed

up her cheeks in a bit of dissatisfaction.

With their height difference as one factor, Yue who was turning her gaze at Hajime as

though she was peering from below was naturally looking like she was directing

upturned gaze at him, and despite having seeing her gesture that was like that many

times until now, Hajime couldn't prevent his heartbeat from jumping up for a moment.

And so, the cause of the sound of crashing and scream just now――a passing by salary

man riding a bicycle in his way to his workplace who was driving inattentively, and in

the end he crashed onto a telephone pole and toppled over, such tragedy was smoothly

slipping off from Hajime's mind along with his moving away gaze.

Yue fastened her pace to move ahead of Hajime and then there she made a beautiful

turn with a twirl. Her golden threads hair softly fluttered and glittered as though it

was even blessed by the morning sunlight, while her skirt that was similarly fluttering

softly greatly emphasized her whitely alluring absolute territory. (TN: Absolute

territory = zettai ryouiki = exposed skin between top of knee-high socks and hemline of

skirt)

――*zubo-*, dowah!?

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 513 | 582

A boy who seemed to be a high school student from another school walking at the

edge of street put his foot into a ditch and he screamed, but Hajime whose heart was

captured by Yue who was staring straight at him while walking backward didn't even

turn his gaze there.

"It's dangerous walking backward like that you know?"

"...Nn. But, like this both of us are inside each other's sight."

Yue was staring still at him expressionlessly, but her default expression crumbled

slightly. The gently softening expression――Yue's smile stimulated Hajime's de ja vu

and he narrowed his eyes.

...A postman overtaking Hajime from the side seemed to get his brain stimulated. As

the compensation of not looking straight while driving, he almost got into an accident

and put on his emergency brake *kikii――!!*. He came to a stop with a really

impressive drift.

"...Hajime?"

Yue tilted her head at Hajime's state. Hajime realized the source of his de ja vu and he

muttered "My dream became reality huh" . Hearing that mutter, Yue tilted her head

even further to the opposite side to show her confusion.

That gesture was so lovely that Hajime loosened his face.

At the same time, a female high schooler walking from the roadside suddenly pressed

on her nose and crouched down. Red liquid of joy was dripping from between her

hand. This female high schooler who was whispering "I, I saw it again. It's just too

angelic just now" was also discharging out drips of red joy at the same place four, five

days ago, so surely she was in a healthy state without any abnormality.

"You see, I had seen Yue's figure wearing that uniform while walking backward like

this before."

"...Nn? I had done this before?"

"No, we have gone to school together many times, but something like this is the first

time. It's just, it's embarrassing to confess this but...I saw it at Haltina's great

dungeon, yeah."

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 514 | 582

"...ah. Fufuh. Did you dream it?"

"Don't laugh."

Hajime looked aside while scratching his cheek. For his delusion and desire to be

known by his lover, even though it was at this late hour, no, exactly because it was at

this late hour that it was a bit embarrassing.

The true identity of the de ja vu Hajime felt. The cause was one of the trial that he

received at the capturing of great sea of trees Haltina. The capturing members were

shown world of dream at the same time when they were teleported. There they

experienced a world of supreme convenient wish they desired on top of having their

inconvenient past written off.

What Hajime dreamed off inside that world was ordinary days on top of the erasure

of his despair and hellish pain he experienced at the abyss. Inside that world there

was Yue as his lover and he went to school with her like this. Both of them were

carefree under the sunlight without any conflict, pain, and anxiety.

Yue was twirling like now and she steadily walked backward in front of Hajime,

wearing the uniform of the school Hajime attended.

The figure of Yue wearing blazer and skirt, and then loafers, with the school bag held

behind her, she was walking backward.... This spectacle of dream waiting ahead

after he passed through all difficulties was truly the symbol of happiness for Hajime.

"Haa haa, my goddess――abeshih!?"

The finger bullet Hajime unconsciously fired splendidly hit the forehead of a man

peeking out from between the curtain of the second floor room of a house the two

happened to pass by. Of course, the glass window was beautifully pierced through.

The man who was blown away along with an impact that felt like it would tear off the

head, without pause he was sent flying into the corridor with a force that could smash

through a door. From inside the house, "Dear-, Takeshi is! Takeshi is coming out from

his room!" "What!? Recently he is doing this every morning isn't he!? Finally Takeshi

too is resolved to return to society...uuuh" such harmonious voices could be heard.

Surely the number of family conversation there was increasing in proportion of the

number of hole in the window. It was something wonderful.

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 515 | 582

"You are used with the school already?"

"...Nn. It's fresh and novel. Especially the going to and from school alone with just

Hajime."

Yue's smile deepened at Hajime's attempt to change topic while she replied.

"Though I also feels like this isn't something we need to decide the rotation shift and

even purposefully not using car though. Even going through shortcut, it's still faster

by riding bicycle."

"...Hajime don't get it. Going to and from school with just two people is our important

time. This is the consensus of opinion so objection or refusal won't be allowed."

"I, I see. But still..."

Just as Yue said, Yue, Shia, Kaori, and Shizuku enforced a rotation shift where each of

them would go to school with just Hajime once a week. It was something that was

decided by their consensus of opinion, and the time became an important time where

they could be together with just Hajime who most of time was together with someone

among his families.

Hajime more or less also guessed that. However, there was a relatively pressing

problem in the case of all these four people, especially in regard to Yue, because of that

Hajime's expression was a bit twitching.

"...You don't like, being alone with me?"

"There is no way that's true."

Getting asked such thing with a sad looking gaze, Hajime had no other option than

giving an immediate answer.

Even if he witnessed the tragic scenes of all the passerby in the range where Yue's

expression was visible were crashing, tumbling over, or spraying out joy from their

nose.

When he was going to and from school with just Yue, most of the time the path they

traveled became like a disaster site in their passing. Also to say more, the smartphones

of the smartphone users all over the place who suddenly became unmannered were

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 516 | 582

invited to heaven and agonizing cries in that kind of meaning also echoed in the path

that was turned into a road of tragedy...

Hajime fastened his brisk pace and caught up to Yue, he then took out a glasses with

crimson frame from his pocket and gently put it on Yue. Glasses girl Yue blinked her

eyes.

This glasses was actually an artifact that possessed recognition obstruction effect but,

――*Gashan! Kikii――, gosha! Chuin!*

――So, so cutebuberah!? Hidebuh. Abeshi!?

In front of the charm of Yue wearing glasses, the artifact bent its knees in defeat.

"...A charm that nullified an artifact that is enchanted with age of god magic, huh. You

haven't actually obtained a concept magic of charm or something haven't you?"

"...?"

Hajime whispered to himself and took off the glasses that had opposite effect from

Yue. The glasses artifact of recognition obstruction was quite effective at first, but

recently it was becoming an item that increased Yue's charm instead.

Hajime could only cocked his head in puzzlement, but his mother Sumire who heard

this story was staring blankly while answering "That's must be because she is with

you" as though it was nothing. Recently their surrounding had calmed down compared

to at the beginning and Yue became able to enjoy her time alone with Hajime to her

heart's content. Surely Yue's euphoria was overflowing out at her time alone with her

beloved, that seemed to be the case.

While thinking 'Don't tell me it's really that kind of reason?', Hajime turned his gaze

from the glasses back to Yue,

*howawan~*

Small heart mark bubbles were gushing out from Yue's body only from her gaze

meeting Hajime's...was how it looked like. Hajime scrubbed his eyes and when he

looked at her one more time, there was only Yue there smiling normally. It seemed

that he was hallucinating.

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 517 | 582

"We arrived, at the station."

"Nn"

Deciding not thinking deeper about it, Hajime thought of preparing a more powerful

artifact. When Hajime was thinking that, they arrived at the nearest station that was

actually the a detour in their going to and from school.

Yue returned walking at Hajime's side once more and with an extremely natural

motion she linked her arm with Hajime's. Her soft sensation and sweet fragrance

tickled his nose and he received sharp gazes from the station workers and salary men.

Even now their expression looked as though they were going to yell out "Showing off

right from the morning" with spits flying out.

Yue-sama who was in cloud nine of happiness from the morning didn't seem to bother

at all with the surrounding, but for Hajime who was endeavoring to return to his

former livelihood in the modern Japan, this situation was really serious. It was to the

degree that he needed to hold back his hand that wanted to immediately move toward

his thigh. Of course his partner railgun wasn't there.

While the two were having idle chat like nothing at the station platform, a strange

situation that was already the routine every morning was starting to occur.

No matter how one looked, people were congesting at the position of the train coach

Hajime and Yue were lining up for. There were many male, but there was also quite

the number of female. Also, in a glance the females were looking like they were fixing

their eyes on smartphone, newspaper, or book, but from Hajime's viewpoint it was

totally obvious that they kept glancing his and Yue's way.

(Every single morning, they aren't getting tired of it. This is already at the level of

killing intent. ...Well, going to school with different woman every morning, if it's

asked whether this can't be helped then it really can't be helped I guess.)

Among these people that were forming lines, there weren't only Yue's fans, there must

be Shia's fans too there. Small voices like "Toying around with Shia-chan, this shitty

braatt" could be heard sometimes. By the way, when he was going with Kaori or

Shizuku, Hajime would go until their house to pick them up by riding train, but at that

time there would be salary men that happened to catch sight of him without fail.

By the way, the closest station from Kaori and Shizuku's house was at the opposite site

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 518 | 582

with the school sandwiched in between of that station and the nearest station from

Hajime's house. There were eight stations until this station.

If this happened to a normal male high schooler, their mind would surely get disturbed

from getting exposed to this storm of negative emotions like jealousy and so on that

the mere expression of bed of nails wasn't possibly enough to signify the significance.

Of course, the one here wasn't a possessor of soft mind that would wither down from

such thing.

Glancing at a salary man uncle lining up behind him who was subtly closing the

distance, Hajime circled his hand around Yue's waist and he pressed her body tightly

toward him.

The surrounding became noisy. Murderous gazes were doubling.

"...Hajime?" "Hey, Yue. It's fine even if we take detour, so how about we stop riding

train? I don't have any intention at all letting you get touched by anyone, and if there

is that kind of guy trying that, I'lltear off his nails even if it's still in the stage of attempt,

but there is also no need at all to mass produce people with their life ended right?"

Yue who tilted her head in puzzlement seemed to guess the meaning of his words a

beat later. Or rather, it seemed she was really ignoring the surrounding's situation as

though it was only natural. As expected from a former royalty. It appeared that it was

the default state to put the gazes of the rabble outside the mind. Or possibly, perhaps

it was also that she wasn't able to see anything but Hajime.

Yue showed a bit of thinking gesture "...Nn~~" and her index finger suddenly stood

up straight.

"... [Everyone, bee~~come unconcerned with us] "

The words sounded slow and stupid, but they were whispered with a mysterious echo.

Invisible power permeated the whole station as though it was spreading in ripples,

and right after that, including the salary man who was gradually getting closer, the

expression of the people who were focusing on Hajime and Yue went 'hah' as though

they returned to their senses.

And then, they were making wondering expression about why were they making long

lines in the entrance for this train coach like this while scattering toward other spots.

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 519 | 582

"What should I say, that's a special bargain sale of [Divine Statement] huh. You want

to go to school by train that much?"

"Nn-. To speak in Hajime's wording, this is romance. Therefore I won't give it up."

"Yo, you are insisting it like that huh. I got it. Well, it's also nothing really difficult, I'll

reinforce the recognition obstruction artifact quickly."

"...Glasses?"

"Glasses."

He wouldn't give that up. Glasses girl Yue-sama was the key point for Hajime.After

that, during their walk until they reached the school, it went without saying that the

words of god were literally firing in rapid succession toward the people who just

arrived to ride the train and the crowd of people getting off the train. If it was for the

sake of her desire, Yue-sama wouldn't be stingy with using the words of god! It was

Hajime>Unsurpassed wall>Everything else for her!

Hajime and Yue who arrived at school reached the shoe locker while respectively

gathering attention.

There was one more template that was still continuing here.

――*rustle rustle rustle-*

Numerous letters surged like avalanche. It was a really retro method to put letter into

shoe locker, but there was no other way for these people to convey their feeling so it

couldn't be helped. After all, the contact address of Yue and co weren't known except

by their classmates and a part of friends, and on top of that if they tried to talk to them

directly there was always demon king level escort constantly beside them.

"Just like always."

"...Nn. Being liked itself isn't bad. But I cannot help to say that this is really a bother."

Yue didn't even hide her expression of feeling troublesome, her eyes narrowed for a

moment to see through something and she put several letters into her pocket while

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 520 | 582

she pushed in everything else into another locker. By the way, that locker was Kaori's.

"Are those love letters from girls again?"

Hajime said that with a wry smile after guessing the sender of the letters that Yue

pocketed. Just as he said, about 30 or 40 percent of the love letters Yue received came

from female students.

"...Rather than calling them love letter, the letters are more like from fan or

requesting to become friend, those kind of things. Idiots who are sending love letter

even knowing I have Hajime doesn't matter at all, but I cannot carelessly treat the

letter from girls who want to be friend with me."

"That kind of treatment is the reason you are popular."

Seeing Yue who lowered her eyebrows looking a bit troubled, Hajime said that looking

amused while opening his own locker. Several cute letters were piled up snugly inside.

Yue-sama's gaze stabbed.

Helplessly Hajime took out the letters and put them inside another locker. By the way

that locker had the name "Amanogawa Kouki" written on it.

Seeing such Hajime, Yue asked with a bit amused expression.

"....Hajime. Is it fine not to read the letter right at the top?"

"The top one? What, is there something in it?"

The words of Yue who somehow understood the state of when the letter was created

by using regeneration magic caused Hajime to make a dubious expression.

Yue took out the aforementioned letter from the locker and,

"...Nn. This is from a cute fan of Hajime...a girlish boy's――"

"Sooih!!!"

Hajime snatched the letter with godspeed, super compressed it with his grip strength

and threw it with full power toward outside the school. The crumpled letter casually

hit the speed of 166 kilometer per hour and the letter that was compressed until it

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 521 | 582

was smaller than a pinball flew away like a laser beam.

It felt like a pained voice "Aah, my letteerr!!" could be heard from somewhere, but

surely it was just an imagination.

"...As always, Hajime is popular among the cute boys."

"Stop that. They don't feel repulsive like when I was stared at by Chrystabel, even so

those guys' gazes are unbearable. Recently the fellows in class are shuddering [The

demon king is finally feeling like turning his hand at that direction!?] while

nonchalantly taking distance away from me. It's just plainly weighing the mind."

"...Even though, Chrystabel is a good person."

"Your lover's ass is being targeted here you know? Don't just conclude that he is a good

person."

Yue chuckled at the dejected Hajime. Lured by that amused look of Yue, the students

who were arriving at school were rapidly getting slower in their walk. A crowd trying

to get even just a glimpse at the beautiful face of the girl who outwardly changed

school was starting to form.

Hajime took Yue's hand to quickly head toward the classroom.

The classroom of Hajime and others were at the highest floor and the farthest corner

of the school building. They were at second year of high school, so normally they

should be at the second floor, but their classroom was at that place where normally no

one would come at was because Hajime and others were "returnees".

With the uneasiness from the school side and a part of students' family, and the

criticism from the society about the decency if the students who returned back

miraculously at great pains were to be driven out from school, the school

administration compromised by wishing to gather the returnees in one place and they

set up a "special classroom" at a place that was isolated in the same school building.

Also, Hajime and others were in the middle of their first year when they were

summoned to the other world Tortus. And so, originally they should be held back a

grade, but although Hajime and others were put into a special classroom, but their

school grade was properly in the second year.

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 522 | 582

This was the result of the conformance between the demand of Hajime and co "no way

we will repeat the year", and the opinion of the school side that wished for them to

quickly graduate the school and left with the official stance that it was their sympathy

and compassion at work.

As the result, a special short course period was prepared for the returnees and on top

of that they were given examination, it was to confirm whether they were equipped

with the scholarly ability of the first year curriculum of high school, if there was no

problem with the test result then their grade advancement would be recognized. That

was the special measure that the school taken.

Of course, it was also the result of a demon king somewhere and the wive~s working

behind the scene.

And so, amidst the hectic situation of dealing with the government and mass media,

all the classmates received special short course and in the end all of them struck high

score without anything that could be complained about and their grade advancement

was recognized.

At that time, after the special short course, the classmates held a study meeting by

their own initiative and diligently study hard. The school officials were really in

admiration seeing that but...

Things like encouragement yell "Limit Break-" could sometimes be heard from the

classroom.

Actually, they increased their concentration power and learning power by taking in a

drug named Cheatmate while in addition they invoked Limit Break using Last Zell to

study. It didn't stop there, after the school was over they would also gather in Yuuka's

restaurant for a study meeting and used Hour Crystal to lengthen their time.

It was only getting held back a grade that everyone hated. To a very great extent.

Arriving at the topmost floor, the number of people decreased right away the moment

Hajime and Yue stepped into a corridor where their classroom was located. It was

natural because originally the classroom here wasn't used and other than that there

was only storage room.

But, this morning there was the silhouettes of another people other than the

classmates.

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 523 | 582

"That's, the vice principal and, Aiko, sensei who is completely hidden behind the

silhouette?"

"...Nn. It looks like they are quarreling?"

Indeed, over there they saw the back of the vice principal who was famous with his

hair that had overly splendid 7:3 ratio it was unnatural, and opposite him seemed to

be Aiko seeing from the tiny legs that were barely visible from the two's position. The

voice of the vice principal sounded angry for some reason, so it seemed that Aiko was

being scolded or preached at.

Hajime and Yue looked at each other and they slowly and smoothly sneaked behind

the vice principal after cutting off their presence.

"Now listen, Hatayama-sensei. You are still employed as teacher in this school because

of this school's kindliness. I hope you will be aware of that a little bit more!"

"Ye, yes. About that I'm really grateful..."

"In that case, why did you leak an extremely careless statement that show contempt

to our school toward the likes of the press. I'm greatly troubled by this!"

"My, my deepest apologies. By no means I'm intending to show contempt..."

"Hou. The statement that the reason the special classroom is set up because the school

is discriminating, you are saying that's not you showing contempt?"

"No! I didn't say anything like discrimination! It's just, I was only saying, if only the

school side is also able to treat the students a bit more normally..."

The reason the vice principal was offended seemed to be the statement Aiko leaked

out to the press. Aiko often came out in front of the press with her position as the

representative of the returnees. So far as it went she took formal appointment for

something like interview, and it was done after talking it thoroughly with the school

side, but the persistent reporters were staking out in front of her house and rushed

her with questions.

At that time Aiko fastened her pace while doing her utmost to not answer, but the

statement of a reporter who spoke as though the students were dangerous individuals

and claimed that the special classroom was something that proved it to be true caused

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 524 | 582

Aiko to object against her better judgment.

She said, that the students weren't dangerous or anything. That originally they should

be able to attend school normally.

The press that happily picked up on that made an uproar claiming that the school side

was discriminating and whatever, and the vice principal who received the news got

angry.

(This wig-wearing baldy vice principal. What is he doing venting at Aiko.)

(...Nn. It's the fact that the school is treating us with isolation. This baldy wigcovered head is only protecting himself.)

Hajime and Yue were squinting their eyes toward the vice principal who were still

nagging angrily at Aiko. Both of them sneaked even closer behind the vice principal

with their presence still cut off.

There, Aiko finally noticed Hajime and Yue's existence. Seeing the two who were

slowly and stealthily approaching behind the vice principal, Aiko felt a violent bad

premonition and she sent repeated glances at the vice principal and Hajime

alternately.

Hajime smilingly conveyed "Morning" with his lip movement. Aiko too sent glances at

the vice principal who was absorbed with his preaching while conveying "Good

morning" with her lips movement.

Hajime nodded once and,

(For now, how about I attack this guy?)

He slowly took out Donner and aimed at the back of the vice principal's head.

"No way-! Absolutely no way!"

"Muh. Exactly. It's self-explanatory what does alma mater meant. It's something that

will be unforgettable for the whole life for the students, and you must not do anything

that can harm this alma mater. In the first place――"

Aiko reflexively yelled and crossed both her arms to make a cross mark. She did that

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 525 | 582

incidentally right after the vice principal was saying "Do you think it's fine to put a

stigma on the school?", and so Aiko's sudden eccentric behavior was also miraculously

ignored.

Yue straightened up her index finger all of a sudden,

(...Don't worry Aiko. Right now I'll annihilate this barely remaining hair roots for

you.)

Fire lit up above the finger. Yue's gaze was directed toward the vice principal's head.

"More than this is no good! It will be completely gone!"

"Exactly, Hatayama-sensei! The prestige of our school must not be harmed even more

than this. If we lose our credence, it's also possible for the alma mater of the students

to be gone!"

Once more it was a relay of miraculous conversation.

Surely under the 7:3 ratio wig, the hair roots that were already in the verge of

annihilation were squeezing outtheir final willpower. As expected, perhaps feeling the

danger instinctively, the vice principal inadvertently looked behind. Hajime and Yue

smoothly moved to his blind spot with harmonized breathing.

Confirming that there wasn't anyone behind him, the vice principal returned his gaze

at Aiko. At the same time, Hajime and Yue also smoothly returned behind him.

The vice principal checked his watch and it seemed he would conclude his preaching.

Surely this talk was something important to him that was grounded on his belief. But,

Aiko was helplessly bothered by the two behind the vice principal that his words

didn't enter her head at all.

(The bell will ring soon! Please enter the classroom quickly! Or rather, eh? Why am I

conversing with lip movement like this?)

Aiko responded with lip movement talk from being somehow carried away by the

place's atmosphere, she noticed the strangeness about that while urging Hajime and

Yue with a scolding.

The two who even now were reaching out their hand together toward the wig of the

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 526 | 582

vice principal as though to say 'This is the first group work of us two desu!' looked at

each other's face after seeing Aiko's upset look and desperate lips movement. And

then, they nodded as though something had passed between them, and right after that

the two of them acted despondently which didn't suit them.

(Even though I did this because I though Aiko is troubled...)

(...Even though I'm doing my best to help Aiko)

No matter how one thought of it what they were doing was nothing more than being

mischievous, but Aiko who was in overwhelmed so much by the situation honestly felt

guilt pressing on her chest.

Toward such Aiko, Hajime and Yue moistened their eyes with their mischievousness

in full throttle while appealing.

(Aiko already hated me now huh.)

(...Aiko already hated me now?)

Getting told that by the man she was in love with and the top of the wive~s, there was

no way Aiko who was already at her wits end could recover her calm,

"Such thing-, it's obvious that I love you very much!"

"Wha-. Ha, Hatayama-sensei, what are you suddenly..."

For some reason vice principal was greatly flustered. His wig head was blushing red

until the tip of his ears and his expression was taken aback for a while. And then he

cleared his throat once *cough-*.

"Ha, Hatayama-sensei. That's, it's, just what do you mean by that?"

The talk of the wig vice principal before this was "Anyway, there is no time, I'll stop

with this much for now. I really wish that you can realize just how large the influence

your carelessness in your speech has brought to our school. Although, it seem that you

are hating me, perhaps my words are only entering your right ear before going out

from the left ear right away" that was said with a lot of sarcasm in his tone.

It was at that timing that Aiko finally turned her focus at her talk with the vice

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 527 | 582

principal. Of course, she wasn't listening to the vice principal's talk just now so she

also didn't really understand what was said and asked at her. But, with the atmosphere

and also with her social standing, here she absolutely cannot say anything like

"Actually I'm not listening! I'm sorry!" .

(Wha, what to do? I don't know at all what is he talking about.... Wait, Aiko,

remember it well. This wig, cough-, vice principal is talking about how to protect the

school and about the necessity of protecting the school so...that's right! There is no

doubt he is asking me whether I'm treasuring, loving the school or not!)

"Err, even if you ask me what I mean, the meaning is exactly just like I said..."

Ai-chan-sensei replied carefully while watching the situation. With how she was also

turning upturned gaze to observe the situation, the wig vice principal was further

bewildered.

"You, you really mean what you said.... Hatayama-sensei, you, in this kind of place

you suddenly...please stop with you joke."

The vice principal averted his gaze away with a huff. Hajime and Yue escaped to

outside the field of vision with a splendid moving technique.

Aiko felt a heartburn seeing the wig-wearing middle-aged man blushing for some

reason, so she gripped her chest tightly and racked her brain hard.

(What's this, this situation feel somewhat strange but...he is telling me to stop

joking, that means he is thinking that I'm not thinking seriously about the school. As I

thought from the view point of vice principal who has worked in teaching profession

for nearly thirty years until now, someone like me introducing myself as teacher is just

presumptuous...but, it's true that a school is a place to protect the students, and it's

a place of important memory that will remain through our life. Then, at the very least

I have to convey that I'm serious!)

Still being unaware that the perception of both sides were mutually greatly deviating

from each other, Aiko took a deep breath with resolve. The wig vice principal twitched

seeing that straightforward gaze.

Aiko didn't even pay attention to the wig vice principal twitching and she met his gaze

frankly and,

t r a i t o r A I Z E N 528 | 582

"I'm not joking, I really feel fondness (for the school and students)! No, rather, it's not

an exaggeration even if I say that I feel love (for the school and students)!"

"Wha, what did you saayy――!?"

That powerful speech was delivered with a tightly clenched fist and a force that made

one hallucinated the sea wave splashing behind her *splaa~~sh*. The serious feeling

was conveyed clearly whether the recipient wanted it or not.

The wig vice principal took a step back as though he was overpowered and,

"I, I HAVE, A WIFE AND CHILDRENNNNNNNNNN~~~~"

He yelled such thing while running through the corridor. Of course, Hajime and Yue

escaped to the blind spot with divine smoothness. At thattime, a divine wind also blew

and the vice principal's wig was smoothly taken and fell on the floor.

Aiko watched with her mouth wide open at the vice principal who suddenly yelled out

incomprehensible thing while running away.

"...Aiko, you are a miraculous human. This is the first time since I was born

witnessing this kind of artistic misunderstanding."

"Hee? Eh?"

"Aa~, Aiko. You see, perhaps vice principal is thinking that he was confessed by Aiko.

After all you gave him those lines after he was sarcastically asking whether you hate

actually him."

"Yes?"

Aiko was astonished. However, a beat later she recalled her dialogue with the vice

principal and then thinking of what Hajime said she guessed the situation, which

caused her expression to lose color in a flash. And then, she picked up the wig on the

floor using her fingertips and,

"Vi, VICE PRINCIPAALLLLLLL-! IT'S A MISUNDERSTANDINGGG! THIS IS A

MISUNDERSTANDING!!! ALSO YOUR WIGGG!!! PLEASE DON'T ENTER THE STAFF

ROOM! THE TIME OF MORNING ASSEMBLY WILL BE HELL~~~!! YOUR WIG IS STILL

HEREEEEEEEE-"

She yelled that and dashed with amazing speed.

It felt like it would ended up the same with her yelling 'wig wig' like that but...

While staring at the back figure of the cute homeroom teacher who was energetically

running in place today too, Yue shortly said.

"...Nn. As I thought, school is fun."

"Yep, well, I think it's relatively an extraordinary student life though."

The bell rang at the same time with Hajime's retort.

Today too the mundane school life was starting.
