Chapter 7
Vivid orange hair even in the shadow of the dusky sunset.
Rota was wandering around the Golden Street located in the center of the academy city with a gloomy expression.
“...I want to die.”
Golden Street.
The most blessed land in the academy city.
The place closest to the central World Tree, where only the most prestigious high schools are located.
The street with the most splendid buildings and facilities in the academy city was shining.
Was it because the street’s light was so dazzling?
The shadow of a small cat-eared girl carrying a backpack larger than her own size.
Walking alone dejectedly while twitching her twin tails, somehow looked even darker.
Cat ears visible without her hat on.
The orange cat ears on top of Rota’s head were also drooping.
“...”
Trudge...
Trudge...
Powerless footsteps.
-Ahahahaha!
-Hehehehe—
High-end restaurants and boutiques scattered around.
The laughter of the Golden Street girls coming from there.
Those greenhouse flowers living without any ambition or dreams.
She had secretly sneered at them until middle school, those who just got into prestigious schools because they were born to good parents.
In the end, Rota was worse than them.
Rota was running away because that laughter from afar sounded like it was mocking her. Away from the light of the sunset and Golden Street, towards the central area where ordinary schools were located.
“...”
It’s miserable.
After an argument with her senior, she ended up throwing down her withdrawal form and running out. And if anyone living in the academy city heard about today’s events, they would surely shout that she was crazy.
Rota despaired, wavering between endless regret and pride.
“...Ugh.”
Although it was one of the three most renowned schools in the academy city, known as a ‘magic prestigious school’, shamefully, she hadn’t been admitted purely based on her abilities.
The senior’s eyes full of contempt during the entrance interview were still vividly remembered.
-Your
-Haah... I’ll just be honest.
-It’s a delusion. A phantom that’s been refuted for hundreds of years.
-Transferring ‘magic skills’ to others? Ha...
-Can you move your blood with someone else’s heartbeat?
-...Magicians are ultimately beings who manipulate the whims created by God.
-If you don’t have talent from the start, you’re not even allowed to touch it.
Then the senior in charge of the interview glanced at a corner of the application form and carelessly added:
‘Well, since you’re a member of
4 years.
When Rota was young.@@@@
The time it took to write the wonderful thesis.
She had boldly promised her deceased older sister.
1 minute.
Unrelated to anything Rota had done.
The family name written in a corner of her personal information.
The time it took for the interviewer to see those few characters.
Rota’s desperate 4 years lost to just 1 minute.
Even though she was a small and dull collateral branch that her family didn’t care about, in the end, the weight of the family name crushed Rota’s life.
Everyone at school knew this, so they always ignored Rota.
That’s why she ran away.
Turning her back on the street lights, she set out to find a new school that would understand her.
“...”
When all the sunset light and laughter from Golden Street had passed behind her back.
When she arrived at the outskirts alley of the central area where damp darkness enveloped her face and silence pounded her ears.
Twitch
Rota’s two cat ears perked up.
Vrooom―!
Vroom―vroom―
Woooong―!
Suddenly, the sound of engines roaring could be heard from somewhere. It was a vulgar and loud, cheap engine sound that could never be heard in the Golden Street with its strict noise regulations.
“...?”
Rota turned her head towards the source of the sound, and squinted as dazzling lights suddenly entered her eyes.
“Ugh...?!”
Vulgar violence of light.
“Th... Thank you...”
“Really! To move a girl’s heart like this―☆ To express this overwhelming gratitude☆ Even three teapots during tea time wouldn’t be enough! Wow―☆ Thanks!! Moved!! A truly heartfelt laser of gratitude―baam―♡”
“Ahaha... I-I see. Oh! Oh no... Haha, I have something to do, so I must...”
Perhaps because of the two terrifying high school girls with shining eyes, protecting the lunchbox with their uniform coats, somehow the bakery owner hurriedly went back into his shop, looking uncomfortable.
Silence returned.
We bowed once more towards the bakery, then walked out towards the outskirts road leading out of the shopping district.
A downhill slope with a view of the entire central area outskirts.
The voices of shopping district people reflecting on the day.
It was a warm sunset scene wrapping up the day.
Alvit receiving the yellow sunset light with a smiling face. She opened her mouth in a happy tone, still grinning broadly.
“Now we can eat one proper meal a day. Senior!”
“That’s truly lucky―☆”
“Phew― Just in case, I always collected bread crusts bit by bit as emergency rations. I’m glad I don’t need to do that anymore.”
“Those get a bit dry and crispy, so they’re delicious―☆ They go really well with tea☆”
“...What?”
As we were walking out of the shopping district side by side like that, we saw a group of shopping district dwarves with serious expressions gathered in the distance.
“Shouldn’t we contact
“You know they don’t care about this area.”
“Then what should we do? Should we contact other shopping districts for cooperation?”
“Well, we shouldn’t really comment on other school districts...”
“Clara’s group might be okay.”
“Uhh, it’s unsettling.”
‘Huh? Me?’
My name suddenly mentioned in the conversation.
Alvit also seemed to have heard it and looked at me. But still, we had no idea what they were talking about.
To resolve this question, we approached the shopping district people while making our presence known.
“Hello.”
“Hello―☆”
“Hm? Oh!! It’s Clara!!”
“Clara! Are you okay?”
“Alvit, have you seen any suspicious people?”
“Huh? We’ve been at school all the time except for meal times?”
“Oh thank goodness... Really, thank goodness...”
“...?”
The group of shopping district dwarves rushing over with worried expressions.
Among them, the representative-like tailor shop Grandpa Hua Tuo stepped forward awkwardly.
“Did something happen...?”
“One of our shopping district people working outside sent a telegram saying they saw delinquent students kidnapping students on a large scale while out for delivery. We were about to contact
Grandpa Hua Tuo trailed off, looking somewhat embarrassed.
He stopped talking because he knew that students from the declining
A sudden large-scale kidnapping incident.
I seemed to know in what context these events had occurred.
‘It’s finally happened.’
The time had come to find the second junior.
I spoke to Grandpa Hua Tuo in a deliberately cheerful tone.
“As you can see, we’re fine―☆”
“Yes, yes, thank goodness.”
“But I wonder if you could tell us where you saw them―☆ I want to avoid that area because it’s so scary☆”
“I heard they were heading towards the outskirts road near the abandoned building district.”
“I see☆ Thank you!”
The shopping district dwarves saw us off with worried eyes.
Then we stood still on the way back to school.
Alvit had been restless since hearing about the kidnapping.
‘That’s right, even in the game you ended up going to rescue them alone, leaving Clara behind.’
In the game, Alvit lacked strength, so she barely managed to escape after rescuing only Rota.
Alvit soon spoke in a quiet voice.
“...Senior.”
“Why are you calling~☆”
“If I say... let’s go rescue them... that wouldn’t be okay, right?”
“Yep☆”
“...I see. I’m sorry.”
Alvit hung her head low.
“First~ Let’s go get Red Hare―☆”
“...What?”
Alvit looked at me with an expression of disbelief.
Why are you just staring with that expression?
Hurry and bring the equipment so we can make our Peach Garden Oath.
