——One month after the hero's subjugation.
"…………grrrrr."
"Ootori, are you prepared?"
"Y-yeah. I'm all right, okay."
In front of the platoon's room, Ouka had placed a hand on her chest and tensed up nervously, seeing that, Takeru scratched his cheek.
A month had passed. Takeru had fallen, was picked up by Seelie troop and had been ordered to to rest for so ti in the intensive care unit.
Ootori Sougetsu who visited the hospital spoke of Takeru's future.
『"——If you cancel your contract with Lapis, you'll die."』
『"…………"』
『"Oh? How unexpected, you aren't surprised."』
『"Well, it's about my body, so sohow…"』
『"Splendid. Your upper and lower body were joined together with Lapis' magical power, without magical power supply from her, your body will turn to how it was. If you don't want to die, you have to do as Inquisition says."』
『"…in order to get this result, you didn't dispatch Dullahans and made the students fight. In order to let enemy break through, you abandoned Ouka… in order have the hero kill ."』
『"…HA HA HA."』
『"Please don't try to cover it up with laughter."』
『"Think of it as of holding your life in my hands. You are allowed to continue your life as a student, but since you have a Relic Eater you will have to participate in activities as a Dullahan. You have no right to refuse."』
Sougetsu smiled like a Cheshire cat.
Just as he said, Takeru couldn't refuse. He had no reason to refuse now that his life was in Sougetsu's hands.
But, even before hearing this, Takeru was already convinced.
The man called Ootori Sougetsu wasn't Takeru's ally.
He's an enemy… Takeru was convinced.
Then a week had passed, currently——
"Kusanagi——as I thought, can't we do it next ti?!"
"Which ti is it you say that? There's a limit to being timid!"
"B-but… to suddenly invite them to dinner…? I turned down such proposal many tis, don't you think it'll be weird?"
"Not at all! Just ask normally 'How about we eat lunch together?' and it'll be fine."
"Grrr. This is hard, Kusanagi."
Trembling strongly, Ouka made a tearful expression.
…what it all ant was, Takeru had proposed "I think relations between mbers are important" on which Ouka had agreed and the situation had turned out like this.
Or rather, it was more like Takeru forced her with sothing like a captain's order so it couldn't be called consenting, because she was saved before, Ouka reluctantly did it.
And thus, this plight.
When it cos to involving herself with others, Ouka was this much of a virgin.
Usually she's strong-willed and dignified yet… she's no good at things like these.
He thought earlier she was just clumsy, but it was even worse.
She's been like this for a week already.
"Even if it doesn't work, it's important that you act."
"Ugh… even if you say that…"
"Co on, go in for now."
"…alone?"
"Practice above anything."
"Uuu…"
Even Takeru who wasn't familiar with communication felt like an instructor. It was the first ti he felt like a boss.
This is rare, he thought deeply about things like that
"Fuu… fuu… okay."
Ouka cald her breathing and grasped the platoon room's doorknob.
Takeru smiled wryly looking at her from behind and moved intending to wait by the window in the hallways.
That's when.
*squeeze*… the hem of his uniform was grabbed weakly from behind.
It can't be, his face seed to say as he turned around.
"…………as I thought…I want to go in together… the one who said will take care of … is you."
With tears in her eyes and slightly blushing, she was holding the hem of his uniform.
Even though Takeru thought she looked cute, he sighed.
Good grief, the road ahead looks rocky.
Only weirdos gathered in the Small Fry Platoon, it seed like it was true after all.
