Chapter 72: The Scene of Carnage
She had beautiful long black hair that reached her waist and eyes of almond black.
In the girl’s uniform of my High School, which I had not seen since I was abandoned in the 【Forest of Endless Sorrow 】.
With black stockings that fully wrapped her slender legs.
Even considering the fact that I intentionally avoided her back on Earth, she hasn’t changed at all from the last ti I saw her at various occasions, like in the morning assembly and such. Before my very eyes, is Kannazuki-senpai whom I had known very well.
「……are you……Seiichi-kun……?」
Kannazuki-senpai was dumbfounded as she muttered——Rather, I was also pretty much dumbfounded myself.
Of course I already knew it in the back of my head that the Heroes were at this academy, and sooner or later we would et each other in the end. Furthermore, I also wanted to ascertain the wellbeing of Kannazuki-senpai and the rest. However, as she had suddenly showed up like this, my thoughts completely stopped.
「Eh, ah, umm, err… Ee… aah…」
As a result, garbled words ca flowing out from my mouth. No, they didn’t even form words! To think we’d et at a ti like this! Gosh, what should I do! How should I talk to her!? Should I play it safe and say 『It has been awhile since we last t, Senpai 』 here? Or should it be 『Have you been well?』? How about 『Hey babe! How does tea sounds to ya?』and go a little bit on the offensive here!?
……Okaay. Calm down..
As I faced her with turmoil swirling around within my heart, Kannazuki-senpai once again opened her mouth.
「――Fumu. From the way you stuttered with your words, to how you panicked towards unexpected events, to how your breathing beca twice as fast and how you started talking 0.2 seconds earlier… There’s no mistake, you are Seiichi-kun.」
「What’s with that Evaluation Standard!?」
Why do you know so much about down to the milliseconds!? Even I myself have zero inkling about it at all?! Huh!? Was the Kannazuki-senpai I know, this kind of person!? A dignified, wonderful person loved by everyone… She was definitely not the embodint of lewdness, wasn’t she?!
As I was taken aback by her words, Kannazuki-senpai hugged with tears in her eyes.
「Wha!?」
I could hear Al raised a stupefied voice from my behind, but more than that, my own body beca stiff from Kannazuki-senpai’s behavior.
「Thank god… Really, thank god…! Even though I believed you were safe, I just couldn’t quell this unrest that swelled inside my heart no matter what…! That’s why, seeing you safe like this…. I’m ……!」
「…」
…Kannazuki-senpai has been worrying over soone like for a long ti, huh…To tell you the truth, I was uneasy as well when she recognized now that I’d got thinner,taller, and my voice changed as well. My face was hidden under a hood as well. Kannazuki-senpai trembled while hugging . In the end, I felt blessed. Even though I was being bullied, there were still people who cared about . I must have been a foolish bastard for not being aware of it.
It was at that mont when I tried to reciprocate her hug despite how embarrassing it was.
「—There’s a scent of a won on you.」
「……Eh?」
Kannazuki-senpai’s very low voice was reverberating inside my ear. For so reason, cold sweat started endlessly running down my back. Dear Body, what is happening to you? What is making you so frightened?
With an excessive amount of cold sweat and how my body started to tremble despite it not even being cold, I tilted my head only to find Kannazuki-senpai raising her head, looking at with a face devoid of any expression.
「There’s a scent of a won on you.」
「Why are you repeating it?!」
I didn’t know the reason, but my instinct had been screaming danger for a while now. And so, Kannazuki-senpai finally noticed the existence of Saria and the girls.
「Hm? Who are they…?」
「Ah, umm——」
Judging it was the ti to change the topic, I imdiately tried to introduce Saria and the girls.
「She is——」
「——Do tell, why is your scent emanating out from Seiichi-kun?? Mysteries sure do have many forms.」
「Isn’t Kannazuki-senpai’s nose even more mysterious?! 」
What’s going on?! Why is Senpai’s nose that sharp?!
Kannazuki-senpai turned to the girls and introduced herself.
「I’m Kannazuki Karen. Soone who 『has been with Seiichi』 since 『a long ti ago』. I’m his 『childhood friend』. So? Who might you guys be?」
Why did she emphasize those specific words that much? Besides, why is she looking so triumphant right now?
「Erm, I’m Saria! Seiichi’s 『Bride』!」
「——Guhuk!」
Silently, Kannazuki-senpai let out so blood.
「I, it seed like my ear went erred. Of all things, you said『Seiichi’s Bride』――――——」
「Umm…It’s embarrassing to say, but what Saria just said isn’t wrong, you know.」
「——Gahak!」
Kannazuki-senpai spurted blood once again. After which Kannazuki-senpai beca emotionless once again and asked in a deadpan tone.
「Seiichi-kun. Does that an, you are … in a relationship that is more than just love with her?」
「That’s right.」
「Have you two snogged?」
「Snogged, you say…」
Although Kannazuki-senpai used such an old term, the Q&A made so embarrassed, I couldn’t help but avert my face away. Saria too seed quite sheepish when other people said it and blushed cutely
「——You’ve done it.」
「Eh? Ah, yes. We’ve done it…」
As I was slightly intimidated by her deadpan face when she asked that question, I saw tears falling from her eyes.
「Tho, those lips that I should have robbed, now I can no longer rob it anymore… 」
「Ka, Kannazuki-senpai?」
I was completely at loss, but Kannazuki-senpai sohow had a despaired look.
「You have been snogged. So your chastity has already…」
「Why is the conversation moving in that direction?!?! I have not done sothing like that!」
「——Really?」
In response to my words, Kannazuki-senpai turned her face which had regained its vitality to
「You’re not lying? Is there really, really nothing between you and her?」
「I told you there’s nothing!」
Why do I have to appeal such an embarrassing thing to her with a loud voice? Shortly after, Kannazuki-senpai let a expression of relief.
「I see… If so, I’m glad…」
「No, I don’t understand what makes you so relieved from that…」
「Fufufu. Seiichi-kun, you don’t need to worry about it. I’m just happy we can give each other our 『First ti』. Although we couldn’t have our first kiss, well… I can give you my 『first ti』. So, it’s not a problem.」
「OUUUUTT!!!」
I knew it! Sothing was off! Was this person really the Kannazuki-senpai I was familiar with!? The conversation beca so crude that I couldn’t stand it!? Or rather, why did Kannazuki-senpai’s eyes glead when she said that!? When I tried to shrug the incomprehensible dread off from , her eyes moved towards Al and the rest behind .
「And so? Are they also your acquaintances, Seiichi-kun?」
「Uh… I’m Altria Grem. So? …What are you to Seiichi?」
Al introduced herself while releasing a sowhat vigilant air. Towards her question, she once again said it with a smug look.
「As I ntioned before, I am Seiichi’s 『Childhood friend』! The years I’ve spent with him is far different from you guys.」
「I see…」
Al lowered her face for a while, and then, as though she had thought of sothing, eventually returned her gaze with a reddened face and stated.
「I am…! Se, Seiichi’s …. Gi, 『Girlfriend』!」
「——Gahak!」
Kannazuki-senpai yet again bled in a grand manner. Is she alright? Wait, did she have a severe chronic disease I didn’t know? So while I pondered on how to escape reality, Rurune and the others started their introduction as well, as though they were giving the final blow.
「Fun. I’m Rurune. Milord’s 『manservant』as well as his 『Knight』」
「……Olga Carlia. Seiichi-oniichan’s … little sister. So … his 『family』」
「I’m Beatrice Rogner. I’m no one but a vice horoom teacher where Seiichi-san is assigned… . Rather than that, why does Seiichi-san know one of the heroes?」
Beatrice-san, I’m sorry for involving you. And to have soone with a common sense like you here made happy. Normally, it would be a question how I and Kannazuki-senpai knew each other, but it was sure strange no one cared about it. I knew it! I’m not the strange one, right!? It’s primarily because Kannazuki-senpai is the strange one, right!?
O, Kannazuki-senpai whom I knew, please …. CO BAAACCKKK!!
As I was thinking so, I turned myself to Kannazuki-senpai, then…
「…」
Kannazuki-senpai burned out until she was pale. Ka, KANNAZUKI-SENPAAAAAI!!
Thus, and Kannazuki-senpai’s abrupt reunion beca sothing so convoluted, being moved by it was out of the question and it had beco a very ssy reunion.
And so, when I finally noticed we still haven’t had our lunch and that were making too much noise while occupying the entrance of the dining hall, we were being looked at with strange eyes by the people around us.
Kannazuki Senpai adjusted her tone slightly. Basically, despite it being a very clear way of speaking, towards unfamiliar parties, there are cases where honorific terms and soft-terd words are also used. The reason Senpai was using the sa tone she used with Seiichi towards Aru and others was to ignite a sense of rivalry, therefore, there was no need to explain it to the others.
