“This is the key of the valuables’ locker. Here you go.” (??)
For so reason, there was sothing like a safe. I received the key.
Then I heard the voice saying ‘Your room is the second room’.
‘So, Myaro got the second rank?’
‘No, as I expected, it would be bad if Carol moves into a dormitory for n only. If such a thing happens, I doubt the sanity of the people in the royal castle. Carol may not be able to enter the dormitory. Either way, I can’t make a conclusion just yet.’
“It’s the room next door.” (Myaro)
Myaro was sowhat happy.
“Aah, I may ask for your help again.” (Yuri)
“ too. Please take care of .” (Myaro)
Then, I went into the dormitory and went upstairs. The first room says ‘1’.
‘It’s here.’
“Well then, I will return back.” (Myaro)
“Thank you. That helps.” (Yuri)
I received my bag.
“It’s fine. See you later.” (Myaro)
I separated from Myaro and opened the door to my room.
When I went inside, it was a beautiful newly constructed room, and it was full with a sll of wood. If this was a travel destination, it would be exhilarating. However, there were a preceding visitor in the room, and he was sitting on a bed.
It was a classmate-like, crew cut, short-haired kid. He had a good physique that didn’t seem to be the sa age of mine. For so reason, he was staring at with an angry expression.
‘Did I do sothing bad? I don’t know. Of course, I don’t. This is our first eting.’
Looking at the back of the room, there were three beds. As I directed my feet toward the terrace, there were three intervals. There was also a door facing the terrace.
This was a big room. I slightly looked around, and there were two study desks on the left and the right side which attached to the wall. In the right space open for one of the study desks, there were three rows of tall lockers.
‘Is this the valuable locker?’
I didn’t walk to the bed on the right. Then, I put my bag on the floor.
‘What should I do? It’s hard to talk because he is staring at . I also don’t want to ignore him. Hmm, this is troubling.’
This crew cut kid was sohow staring at my face without changing as if I was the enemy of his parent. I didn’t rember killing sobody’s parents.
‘Did Rook do it? There is no such a possibility, but it would be a thin line.’
‘Haa…’
‘I want to sigh. However, if I don’t compromise starting from here, there will be no friendship or anything. I’m going to greet him. Communication begins with greeting. Since I co after him, I should say hello.’
“I’m Yuri Hou. Nice to et you.” (Yuri)
I said it invigoratingly.
“I didn’t ask your na.” (??)
I got a reply imdiately after that.
‘Wh-what’s with this guy… Did he co from a country with conflict?’
Then, the conversation stopped. There was an air full of pressure.
‘Haa, since I could get along well with Myaro, I thought this would be a good start. Do I have to start with negotiations with the indigenous people?’
‘But, I’m tired today, so I don’t want to. Should I unpack my stuff?’
By the way, the baggage that was supposed to be carried was put on the corner of the room. It was probably the personal things of two roommates other than . It seed that I was on the few side with only three bags.
I went to my locker, put the key to the locker where my nas was put on, and opened it. I opened it, and it had a shelf shape inside.
Half of the locker was where I could hang my clothes. I stuffed my luggage properly.
The first row was very high. Perhaps, it was due to the anticipation of growth. I thought I had to give up because I couldn’t reach it with my hands, but there was a stand like a stairs on the side, so I used it.
‘Let’s put sothing I don’t usually use on the top row.’
I took out an inkwell and a large quill feather of an Eagle King from the bag and put it over there. While I was at it, I put in two diaries that I had finished writing. I thought that I should keep it in my parents’ house, but since it was troubling if the contents inside were looked, I decided to bring it.
If these were seen by soone, it seed like a demonic worshipper dealing with mysterious but dull characters. Once the band was locked, it wouldn’t be easy to look inside, but if they used knife, the band would break and it wouldn’t be difficult to open.
Then, I pushed the empty bag under the bed. I placed the inkwell, the quill pen, the stationery set such as scissors. Lastly, I placed the third book I was using now. When I thought about it, I could always go to the stationery store since I was in the royal capital.
‘This is a bit more convenient, isn’t it?’
“You… who said that you could use that desk?” (??)
‘???’
I heard the voice of the indigenous person from behind.
‘No one told anything. Why did I think this desk as my own?’
For one thing, the luggage was already placed on one of the tree desks, so I thought it was an early win. The other thing was that the desk wasn’t on the side of the locker. Since I expected to be next to the desk of the indigenous person if I didn’t take this desk, I thought that I should avoid that. The third thing was my bed was on the right sight of it. The bed was on the right side, and the desk was on the left. Thus, it was a bit difficult circumstance.
“Can I use it?” (Yuri)
“No, you can’t.” (??)
‘No good, huh. What does he want?’
“But, you need to get my permission.” (??)
‘What?’
“Excuse , what is your na?” (Yuri)
“You!?” (??)
‘Don’t yell at …’
“I an, I was wondering whether you are a royalty.” (Yuri)
‘If he is a royalty, it is not strange to have privileges. This country is a kingdom. Unlike the self-govern territory of the Hou Household, this place here is under direct control.’
‘No, could it be… One of the principles of the Academy is that it doesn’t distinguish students based on their social status. So even at the entrance ceremony, the teachers of the Academy didn’t call Carol ‘Your Highness’. They called her Carol-san. Even the royalties don’t get preferential treatnt. This is the beauty of this Academy.’
“Aren’t you the top student? I don’t know about top student, but being a Knight is not all about studying.” (??)
‘I have the feeling that is the impetus. But there is a truth in what this guy is saying. I also wonder what it would be like to decide a representative of the school of Knights through a paper examination.’
“Well, you’re right. Certainly, it might have been necessary to discuss and decide on the desks.” (Yuri)
“What are you talking about discussing?” (??)
I suddenly wanted to blow up.
‘Was ‘discuss’ a difficult word?’
“It’s about deciding things together. About the desk, let’s decide together with other three roommates.” (Yuri)
‘Certainly, that is fair. I don’t know who are the rest are, but if people get the leftovers because of the early wins, they will remain dissatisfied.’
“No.” (??)
‘…What do you an by ‘No’?’
‘I just don’t get why do you keep saying No. Does this indigenous person want this desk? If that’s the case, why did you put your luggage on the other side of the desk?’
‘Why…? There are too many mysteries… too much I have to shoulder…’
“I’m Dolla.” (Dolla)
He suddenly ntioned his na.
‘Dolla… Aah, I see.’
There was sothing that fell to my chest.
“Are you Dolla Godwin-kun?” (Yuri)
“Yes, I am.” (Dolla)
‘My luck is bad.’
‘No, it’s not about bad luck. To begin with, I‘m lucky to know Myaro. I guess this has offset the luck. If I try to think positively…’
‘No, I feel like this kind of roommate is a minus point. It’s fifteen years. Ten years are the earlier I can graduate. I have no choice but to hope that there is a change in the room on the way.’
‘However, he is an impossible idiot. I want to see the face of his parents. Well, I know the face one of his parents, isn’t it? Galla bastard… what kind of child care have you done?’
“I’m acquainted with your father. Haven’t you heard about it?” (Yuri)
“I’ve heard of it, but it doesn’t matter. Just because you know my father, you think you are that great?” (Dolla)
‘No, I don’t think so. I see. It might because Galla told him sothing strange, he is hostile from the very beginning.’
‘It may be rough from the beginning but no matter how I see the circumstance, it’s strange to have zero preconception. I guess it is biased against because of what Galla told him. Plus, there is also a possibility that sothing is wrong in this child’s head.’
“I don’t think I’m great. There are many things I don’t understand.” (Yuri)
“Haa!?” (Dolla)
‘Don’t shout…’
“Are you a nerd? Don’t get carried away. Screw you.” (Dolla)
‘What’s with this kid…’
As Dolla ca closer to , he brushed away the inkwell that was on my temporary desk. The inkwell fell to the floor and broke, creating a black spot.
‘Aah, why did you do that? Even though it is expensive… Are you going to pay for it?’
‘And the floor is dirty too… Who’s going to clean it?’
“What? Are you scared?” (Dolla)
He indiscreetly laughed and said that threateningly.
‘What’s with this guy… I’m going to complain to Galla.’
Then, Dolla grasped my unfinished diary.
‘Ooh?’
He lifted up my diary, and shook it in front of to show off.
“You intentionally bring this book here, you bastard. What are you trying to do?” (Dolla)
“Please give it back.” (Yuri)
‘This stupid brat. That’s my important book, it is second to my life. As I expected, I will get angry, you know.’
“It’s important. Please give it back.” (Yuri)
‘The diary is a book that I bought with my not so much allowance money. If it is stained or torn, you won’t get away with it easily.’
“Haa? Are you in a position where you can command ?” (Dolla)
Dolla threw the diary on the floor. Then, he stepped and grinded it with the back of his shoe.
‘…Aah, I see.’
‘This guy wants a fight huh? If that’s the case, it’s quicker.’
‘If that’s what he wants, it’s going to be easy.’
“Humph… are you a dog?” (Yuri)
“…Haa?” (Dolla)
“Dogs don’t understand words. So if you want, I will get along with the dog’s way.” (Yuri)
‘It’s a good thing that the water seeks its own level. It’s not possible to negotiate at high level with people who are at low level.’
‘If you can’t negotiate, it’s wise to ignore, but that is not true for roommates. Let’s get alone with the dog’s way, shall we?’
“I’m sorry to live in the sa room as a crazy dog.” (Yuri)
“What did you say…” (Dolla)
Dolla’s eyes had been set.
“Co on, do you only know to bark? Are you a wimp?” (Yuri)
The mont I provoked Dolla that way, he moved his hand first. It was a hook with all might that was usually done in a brawl.
However, for the last three years, I had been slightly accustod to it because of Soim. Compared to chasing the spears swung by the veteran warrior with eyes, there was no reason I couldn’t see his fist thrown with full might.
‘I an, if I assu that Soim is extra hard mode, this is easy mode.’
‘Even if you make a fist and hit it, the might will change depends on how you put your weight on the fist. Therefore, it is completely different from the way you use your body.’
Dolla’s fist didn’t contain any weight at all.
While avoiding his fist, I caught his sleeve and pulled him in. At the sa ti, I grasped his collar. I went around his back, and bent his knees. Stretching the arm with the sleeve I caught, I carried his shoulder with the arm that grasped his collar. I straightened my body like unleashing a contracted spring, and I threw Dolla on my back.
Instead of dropping him on the floor, I took my hand midway, and threw him. Dolla hit the door, and made a loud noise. The door didn’t break under the weight of a child, but the upper hinges flew.
I imdiately run, and made a ball kick at his stomach with all my strength.
“Guhoo…” (Dolla)
There was a soundless scream. I grabbed the shoulders of Dolla, who rolled around while writhing in pain, and forced him to lie on his back.
Then, it beca like a horseback riding. At that ti, I couldn’t get one of his arm because it was pushed out, but the other hand was laid under the feet, depriving his freedom.
“Oi.” (Yuri)
“–Bastard!” (Dolla)
I stopped him and caught his arm that was trying to hit .
“You ask for a fight, right?” (Yuri)
“What!?” (Dolla)
I held my fist with my pinky down, and hit Dolla’s nose hard. A dull sound ca out. The feeling of the tender child’s flesh was transmitted to the fist.
It seed that Dolla had almost no experience of being beaten, since he had an expression of a child. A nosebleed dripped from that nose.
“Are you going to say no? You were asking for a fight, rember?” (Yuri)
“…Uh.” (Dolla)
Dolla ca to his senses, and strongly glaring at .
I was surprised that I got angry. While rembering things in Japan one after another, the diary which was written with my own hands, was thrown to the ground and stepped with his dirty shoes.
‘As I expected, he has a heart that can’t be broken as it is.’
He tried to move his arm hard, and tried to hit .
However, when I held his arm, he wouldn’t be able to hit .
‘If that’s the case, let release his arm first. Even if the fist reaches my face, it will not be powerful.’
‘He doesn’t know that, and yet he dares to throw a challenge?’
‘Well, even if I were to release his arm, it can’t be helped since he was having an overwhelming disadvantage.’
“Answer .” (Yuri)
I made him eat another crushing blow. There was a dull sound, and the nosebleed splattered.
Dolla’s complexion had changed visibly.
He had probably realized on instinct that the current situation was overwhelmingly unfavorable, and there was no eye of reversal. He didn’t look scared, but he was obviously losing his composure.
“You asked for a fight, right?” (Yuri)
“Aaa, yes.” (Dolla)
“Then, were you prepared to beco like this?” (Yuri)
I swung a crushing blow. I felt like I was drowning in blood. The area around Dolla’s nose was bloody red.
“I told you to return the book, because it is important.” (Yuri)
Then, I beat him repeatedly.
‘Now that we’ve co this far, a hit or ten hits are the sa.’
Dolla had beco bloody, and his face was changing.
“You’re playing around by taking other people’s precious things.” (Yuri)
“Aaghh! Guhh!” (Dolla)
Hit. Hit.
“Moreover, you made fun of and asked for a fight.” (Yuri)
‘If I do more than this, his front teeth may break. I should stop soon.’
“You can’t complain about being killed.” (Yuri)
I tightened Dolla’s neck with both hands.
“Have you ever think what would happen if the most important thing is stolen?” (Yuri)
“Aah… gaahh…” (Dolla)
One of Dolla’s hands grabbed my arm. That was what he could do now, but it didn’t contain much power.
“An idiot should die if he can’t be cured. How about you?” (Yuri)
“Bastar…” (Dolla)
“Then, die. This is the punishnt of making fun of .” (Yuri)
“Agyyaa…” (Dolla)
Before suffocating him for real, I changed the way to tighten the neck from the way to crush the trachea. Thereupon, Dolla looked up with his white eyes. Basically, he fainted.
That was the result.
I put my hand on his nose, and he still breathed properly.
‘Good, good. No, that’s not good.’
I ca to my senses.
‘What have I done?’
The next mont, the door was opened. A middle-aged woman, who was at the reception, opened the door and ca in.
“What are you doing!?” (Woman)
Behind the door, there were a lot of children watching over the back of that middle-aged woman. When I turned around, I could see a lot of eyes from the window on the terrace side. This had beco a serious matter.
“It’s a fight. It’s over just a mont ago.” (Yuri)
I stood up and waved my hand covered with nosebleed while saying so.
‘There’s nothing much I can do here.’
Dolla’s red face was covered with blood, and he fainted with an expression of agony. He looked like he was dead at first glance.
‘Aah, I guess I will get expelled. Well, it can’t be helped, right?’
‘It’s just a bad luck. It’s impossible to live peacefully with such a mad dog for many years anyway. I guess I have no luck with roommates.’
“You have gone too far!” (Woman)
It seed I overdid it.
“Hey! Co on!” (Woman)
The middle-aged woman shook Dolla’s shoulder.
“It’s better not to shake him too much. He is just blacked out.” (Yuri)
The middle-aged woman confird breathing and gently lowered Dolla to the floor.
“What happened?” (??)
Another adult woman ca.
“Please go to the doctor’s office and call for a doctor.” (Woman)
“Eh… aah, yes!” (??)
‘Ooh, this is getting serious. What am I going to do?’
“Yuri Hou. Please explain what happened.” (Woman)
I explained this troubleso circumstance.
‘I suppose that she is the dorm master.’
“He insulted , and damaged my properties. Since he invited for a fight in a terribly risky situation, I accepted it.” (Yuri)
“… Tell more specifically, what happened?” (Woman)
‘I need to say it specifically… She probably won’t believe , a brat anyway.’
“Everything is as it is.” (Yuri)
“I don’t see any indication of reflection.” (Woman)
She said it with an amazingly angry face.
‘Haa? I’m starting to feel irritated. What’s with this school? It has been unpleasant since yesterday. Are you kidding ?’
“The one who should do the reflection is the guy over there.” (Yuri)
“What did you say?” (Woman)
The eyes of the dorm master lifted up.
“I don’t get it. I’ll talk from the start to the end. I entered the room that you had allocated to . This is that room. Then, there was a damn brat like a crazy dog here. He insulted aggressively from the beginning. He took my possessions and refused to return when I asked him. After that, he damaged my stuff, and it beca a fight. Next, I beat him until he becos like that. Then, I call this as self defense. When you ca here, you blad for defending myself, and asked to reflect. Isn’t this unreasonable? What fault is there for ? It is a good thing I happen to know about self defense. If not, I might make a mistake and seriously injured him. Can’t you see why I am not reflecting? I am the one who wants to complain for all this, you know?” (Yuri)
When I finished saying so, the middle-aged woman put her hand on the head to suppress the headache.
‘I feel that the evaluation has fallen from the honor student to the problem child at once. It is a big stock market crash.’
“…Anyhow, other than this, there is a possibility that so sort of verdict will co to you. You have a ho in the imperial capital, right? Please go back there today and wait for it later.” (Woman)
‘What? Am I going ho? I am totally treated like a problem child. This is troubling.’
I put the third diary into the locker, took my wallet, and dagger. I locked the locker and left the dorm.
