13. The others stories (1)

#1 Their story: A certain villains story.

-Owner, when we dun! Im tired!

Im more tired!

I diligently rotated the silver drill in my hands.

Back when I was little, a golden hamr was the symbol of the cha genre, but as ti went on, the drill beca the new symbol.(1)

Although of course once I was conscripted I realised that the shovel was the strongest.

-If ya got ti to say dumb things then turn th dwill more!

I listened to the tal bats very snippy voice as I continued to turn the drill.

If you were to ask where this was this was sowhere under the ground not even I knew the location of!

To avoid the princess I abandoned all the existing escape routes, and was drilling my way through an unfinished tunnel that Id previously abandoned when it collapsed.

-Uwiit! Its wock again! Lez give up and dig sowhea else! Its too hard here!

All the paths where the ground is soft is already linked to existing escape tunnels.

I dont know how many days have passed.

I dont know how far the encirclent spreads to.

So all I can do is do my best to move underground.

-Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible!

Fool! Tunnels advance, beyond the tunnel it were a minute before. Little by little, it advances with each turn. Thats how a drill works!(2) This drill is the drill that will pierce the earth with my tunnel!(3) This tunnel is my escape route from the princess!(4)

-No, no, that drill is ! Owners cuwwently digging a hole wifa goddesss head!

Hold on just a little longer. The dreams of those who flee and the hopes of those who escape. Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, and drill a path towards freedom. This is tunnel escape, this is Gurren I an, Naruans escape!(5)

-Enuff wifa bullshieeeeet!

Drrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A line that was very familiar to

and the tal bats scream.

As earth before

began to crumble, I continued to dig.

#2 Their story: Ria el Nermias story.

The first day of school after the imperial festival.

It was my first day back since Id sent the school a ssage that Id be taking so ti off.

What were you doing!

We could more than have been victorious!

Victorious? What nonsense is that supposed to be.

Theyre trying to pin all the bla of the failure of the coback that only ca about because of Yugrasias betrayal in the first place back onto .

Just what reason did you have to betray us, Lady Nermia!

At the presidents words, all the surrounding eyes were focused on , but I ignored them all.

Reason is it?

Yes!

The president answered, and if a look alone could pierce through people, the look he was giving

now would have pierced

hundreds of tis over.

I was scared.

Scared? Of fighting against Yugrasia?

Yes.

I was scared.

Of the fact that I had dared to get in the way of the instructor.

And the fact that Id gotten in the way of the instructors bat no, the instructor when he was using the tal bat, the higher rank weapon of the wooden bat!

How scared was I when heard the news from No.1000.

I couldnt even sleep peacefully, as I feared that the instructor might suddenly show up with the tal bat in hand.

How how was it that you, who worked the hardest out of anyone here for Marciss victory!

Well, Id fought more for my own sake than Marciss, but apparently the president didnt see it that way.

Well, not that I needed to correct him.

Why? You fought tooth and nail all alone for so long and yet you were scared despite being on the cusp of victory!

It is the difference between knowing the truth and not.

Yugrasias students?

They were troubleso but I did not fear them.

At least they had the bare minimum of standards.

Unlike my fellow disciples who cuffed a person that ca to help him to eat breakfast, or ca running at

with sword ki ablaze because I stole her food, they were much, much more normal people.

But once I realised that the one controlling them from the shadows was the instructor, I started fearing that everything might have been playing into the instructors hands.

He might even be reading my mind right this instant, so I should address him as Sir Instructor.

-Wait, no, I dont think he can go that far

No. The instructor knows all. Even when I was fresh out of the organization, I didnt recognize the instructor despite the fact he was smiling right beside .

Even though his face was still the sa!

-If he disguised his face and hid would I be able to recognise him?

-Thats even I cant guarantee that, owner.

See. So awake or asleep, beware of the instructor, double check the passersby, beware the instructor.

Young Lady!

As the president admonished

noisily he started fuming again.

Even if you are a mber of House Nermia, as a Marcis student and a mber of the student council, this incident cannot be overlooked! There will most certainly be a punishnt eh?

To the noisy president, I handed him the paper which Id been preparing since the festival ended.

The contents were complicated, but the three words at the head of the docunt explained everything.

[Notice of Withdrawal.]

Im going to quit the academy?

Eh?

Im quitting.

According to No.1000, the instructor managed to escape from Her Imperial Highnesss hands and fled the empire, but one never knew.

Just last ti I thought hed done the exact sa thing, too, and he ended up right beside us, no?

He might even still be active as a hidden teacher of Yugrasia, and I did not have the courage to remain at Marcis as an enemy of that Yugrasia.

Im transferring.

I bowed my head once, turned around and walked briskly out of the academy.

Id finished all the relevant discussions with the school anyway, and Id only co into school to hand him the withdrawal letter, so it was good that I found him quickly.

Young lady? Milady? Milady!

I started hearing sounds that almost seed like screams, but I ignored them and kept going.

-So wherere you going now, owner?

-Where of course its

Yugrasia.

#3 Their story: Aris ril Letias story.

This is peace.

Peace is good.

A loose smile spread across my face as I dug into the cafs cakes.

It was tasty. And I was happy.

We hadnt known the aning of happiness all along.

Youre right, Aris. These small things were happiness yet we lived without knowing that this was happiness all along it makes

reflect on my past self.

I sipped on the warm tea as I looked outside the cafs window.

It was light.

The sun was still in the sky.

It was a weekday. And the sun was still in the sky!

And yet I wasnt in the academy, but having tea with Siir in a caf!

Sniffle this is so good.

I think Ive beco a bit too emotional lately.

Born into the Letia family, ever since I was little I never cried no matter how much it hurt.

But tears threatened to co out simply because of the warm sunshine and a warm cup of tea.

This is

School life without night study

This was the true school life where students lived like students.

But still Professor Nicerwin isnt coming back, right?

I hope so

When Siir said so almost as an afterthought, I replied back with a slight scowl.

The day after the end of the imperial festival.

The entire student body was shocked at the news that Professor Nicerwin had vanished.

What? Hes gone?

Why? Why is he missing! Surely hes not going to say that since it was a promise with him, that promise is null if hes gone!

Holy shit, th, that cant be!

This is Nicerwin were talking about! He cant have quit leaving only the devil behind, could he?

What for!

To tornt us!

Aaaaarrrgh! This is Nicerwin Nicerwins trap!

When we ca back, chins high in the air at our victory and heard that Professor Nicerwin had vanished.

Everyone was gripped by fear as our imaginations ran wild.

And the one who brought us salvation was the one with little presence, but the highest rank in Yugrasia, one of only 36 elders of education in the entire empire, our Headmaster.

I received news from the empire that they would be taking Professor Nicerwin. Although it is an unfortunate event for our academy

Although our Headmaster said that as if it were an unfortunate thing with all the students gathered.

Woohoo!

Freedom!

No no more night study!

The students let out jubilant cheers as they declared today the true day of liberation.

That was just a few days ago.

He might return and start night study again to celebrate his return

Since theyre new teachers, theyre going to start up night study again

Although each and every one of those theories were completely outlandish, the mont the na Professor Nicerwin attached itself to any of those theories, they sounded awfully plausible.

Hoo its still probably not it, Aris. From what I heard from the vice-president, the empires sending us new teachers in exchange for taking away Professor Nicerwin.

Really?

Mm, its probably accurate because I heard it from the student council.

Siir was currently receiving direct teachings of vice-presidency from the vice-president.

Although I had a feeling that these direct teachings had very little to do with the actual running of the academy, but as we were dealing with Risen who none of us had any idea what he did, it couldnt be helped.

I could only hope that Siir maintained her innocence and didnt end up like vice-president.

Although I had a feeling it would only end as a hope.

Aris? Aris?

Huh?

What, were you talking with your goddess again?

Mm.

For so reason Siirs wide smile seed evil to , but I didnt do the stupid thing of saying that out loud.

Really, Aris is on really good terms with Athena. But have you given it another thought?

Oh, that?

Siirs words reminded

of the thing she had recomnded.

Presidential elections would it be possible?

The student council president elections.

Soon the new student council would form, and so would the training required for those positions.

And Siir asked

to join the student council with her to make a better academy life.

Although of course Siir hadnt been selected for the student council either but if it were the power of the vice-presidents hidden custors I an so shady powers that be, would her election be all but certain?

Mm. Co on, Aris. Hm? We cant create another incident like the silver devil! Ive already made the campaign materials!

Thats true, but

At Siirs continual requests as she sidled beside , cake and teacup and all, in the end I allowed myself to be nominated for student council president.

And.

I got elected?

Im telling you theres no one else other than you to beco president, Aris?

I stared blankly at Siir beside , who had also been elected as female vice-president.

No matter how well-known I was, I would have thought that having two first years in important positions of the student council where there were already more than enough third years that could take the position was a bit

Its alright, Aris. It might not have been okay at the old Yugrasia, but in todays Yugrasia, skill ans everything!

S, Siir? I definitely thought that to myself just now? I definitely never said it out loud so how did you know!

Its the skill of the student council vice-president.

Just what kind of job is the student council vice-president!

And moreover she wasnt even the successor of the proper leader Karen, but the traitor Risen!

Fufu, even though he acts like that, senior Risen has a lot of good points to him, too?

Like that!

Siir who had gained an astounding power to read minds was scary.

Although many people had changed since I arrived at this academy, the only person that had not been changed by Professor Nicerwin, but a different person, was Siir.

Fufufu, Im the sa Siir that Aris always knew?

Thats scary so please stop!

And so after I felt the greatest fear this year since the silver devil.

The second sester where the night study was gone, Professor Nicerwin was gone, and the silver devil was gone ca and went, and on the day of the fourth years graduation.

Huh? Whats this?

In a corner of the student council eting room, which was now my office after the pres I an, the (forr) president handed over all executive power to , I discovered a suspicious-looking safe.

I dont have much ti

The graduation ceremony would be starting soon.

The only reason I was still here at all was to fix up my speech to the student body as much as I could in the little ti I had.

But what is this feeling of unease?

Like an apostle receiving a gods orders, so great will was telling

that I must open that vault.

If I didnt open that, I would regret it. Right now!

Goddess.

-Mm.

I requested the goddess and brought out a spear.

And sword aura ford on it naturally.

Even if it were a steel safe, it would not be able to hold up to sword aura.

Is this a docunt?

In the cleanly cut safe, there was a single piece of paper.

Huh?

A paper on which was written the (forr) presidents act of unspeakable atrocity.

As always, feel free to leave any suggestions and corrections in the comnts.
