-1013- It's all an illusion!

Before long, it was time for class.

Even so, more than half of the students who hadn't arrived in the classroom yet made the entire room feel deserted.

As a result, not only students but many teachers seemed unable to come to class, turning the lessons into self-study sessions.

This seemed to make sleep-deprived students like Asagi and Motoki feel lucky, and one by one, they lay down on their desks, entering a state of sleep, turning the morning class into a sleep class.

"I'll take a nap too."

Seeing this situation, Rozen almost immediately thought so.

As a participant in yesterday's events, Rozen hadn't slept much last night. Although it couldn't be said to be sleep-deprived, he was accustomed to staying up late in the past. But since everyone was sleeping, it would be a waste not to follow suit.

Of course, considering the issue of maintaining a perfect image, it would be better for Rozen to continue studying with books at hand at this time. That way, it might become a topic of conversation among students, but regardless, Rozen's situation is a topic that students must discuss, so let's take it easy here, right?

With that in mind, Rozen picked up the water bottle nearby, took a sip, and then prepared to sleep.

However, just as he was drinking water, Rozen inadvertently glanced outside the classroom.

In that glance, Rozen saw it.

He saw a figure.

A figure of a girl dressed only in a boy's coat, with smooth fair thighs exposed and even without shoes, with long waist-length golden hair, blue eyes, and a bewildered expression like that of a fairy girl, just happened to pass by the classroom, looking around as if about to cry, and entered Rozen's line of sight.

"——Pfft!"

Rozen's eyes widened suddenly, and then the water in his mouth sprayed out all at once.

"Wha....!"

"What... What's wrong...!?"

Asagi and Motoki beside him were startled as if they had been shot.

Not only Asagi and Motoki, but also the other students in the classroom were all startled, all getting up in a panic.

In a situation where almost everyone was sleeping on their desks, the sound of spraying water sounded as loud as gunfire, frightening everyone.

Unfortunately, no one saw that before they got up, the water that was sprayed out was engulfed by a space ripple that appeared in a hurry and disappeared in the classroom.

"What's wrong, Nichiyo?"

Asagi looked at Rozen, who was wiping his mouth, and asked in amazement.

"What was that sound just now?"

Motoki, on the other hand, seemed extremely sensitive to the sound, frowning.

"I... I don't know."

Rozen wiped his mouth without a trace and smiled somewhat dryly, with a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.

The students in the classroom all started to discuss, and when they found that nothing had happened, they lay back down one by one, not caring anymore.

However, not only the students in the classroom heard the spraying water sound, but also an unexpected visitor outside the classroom.

"Hmm?"

The fairy girl wearing only a boy's uniform turned her head and looked into the classroom, then immediately saw Rozen, her eyes lighting up.

Seeing this, Rozen shouted in his mind.

If a young girl dressed like this came to find him and was seen by others, Rozen didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Immediately, Rozen decisively activated Space Manipulation Magic.

"Yahh...!?"

There was a short, sharp scream from outside the classroom, and then the fairy girl was entangled by the white chains that suddenly appeared in the space ripple behind her wrist, dragged in, and disappeared without a trace.

"What... what was that just now?"

"It sound like someone screamed..."

Asagi and Motoki seemed to have heard something again, looking outside the classroom with surprise and suspicion.

But there was nothing there anymore.

"It's all an illusion!" Rozen said seriously. "How about I go buy something for you guys!"

With that, Rozen stood up and ran straight out of the classroom.

"W-Wait...!"

Asagi instinctively called out to Rozen.

"It's class time now!"

Motoki was equally astonished.

But by now, Rozen had already run out of the classroom and disappeared.

Asagi and Motoki looked at each other in astonishment.

"What's wrong with that guy?"

"Who knows?"

The two looked at each other in confusion.

Little did they know, as soon as Rozen ran out of the classroom, his figure also disappeared into the space ripple, completely disappearing from sight.

Saikai Academy's campus area is not extensive, and it can even be considered narrow among many school grounds.

Because Itogami Island is an artificial construction, the chronic lack of land is inevitable, making it difficult to describe the school campus as spacious.

Of course, Saikai Academy has all the things a school should have, quite comprehensive.

Facilities such as gymnasiums, swimming pools, and student cafeterias are all available at Saikai Academy. However, they need to be shared by the junior high and high school departments.

Therefore, although they are different year sections, it is quite common to see high school students mingling with junior high students at Saikai Academy. Conversely, the chances of seeing high school students in the junior high school campus are unexpectedly high.

In such a campus, if there is a place where one can avoid the eyes and ears of others, it would be the rooftop garden of the school building.

It has been transformed into a garden, serving as an open space for students in the insufficiently green Saikai Academy campus. Therefore, there are flower beds and benches set up in the green rooftop garden, making it quite pleasing to the eye.

However, Itogami Island is located in the central Pacific, and it is always hot all year round, so the daytime sun is too strong, making it rare for students to come to the rooftop garden, or even it can be said that there are none at all, wasting such a good place.

But precisely because of this, the possibility of things happening here being seen by others is also very low, which is convenient for students who have their own reasons and need to avoid others' eyes, making it a convenient place. Therefore, many couples regard it as a secret dating spot.

In such a place, a space suddenly rippled.

"Ouch!"

The fairy-like girl was thrown here, appearing from the space ripple and falling to the ground.

Not long after, another space ripple appeared.

From it emerged Rozen.

"You brat...!"

Rozen almost without saying a word, angrily grabbed the girl's cheek.

"Waaah...! Waaaahhhh...!"

The girl struggled in pain, flailing and crying tears.

But Rozen showed no mercy at all.

"Didn't I tell you not to run around? Why did you come here, Avrora!"

Rozen questioned angrily.

The one who came was none other than Avrora.

"Waaah...! Mmmmmm...!"

Avrora kept patting Rozen's arm, tears streaming down her face, hoping Rozen would let go of her cheek.

"Hmph."

Rozen finally let go, allowing Avrora's cheek to return to its original state, causing Avrora to cover her cheek and step back, crying and sobbing grievously.

"What's going on here?"

Rozen sighed.

Anyway, let's comfort this ignorant princess first.
