7 – Entrance Attempt (4)
‘He was a fun guy.’
With a chuckle, Chimei moved her steps slowly.
The destination is the Great Auditorium. It was the place where the entrance ceremony for this year would soon be held.
I don’t want to stand out in the eyes of humans, so I won’t reveal myself directly, but isn’t it the dean’s name?
I was going to keep my seat until at least the entrance ceremony was over.
‘He was also an unusual guy.’
However, at this moment, what she thought of was not about her entrance ceremony or the new students.
A boy who talked to her face to face until just before.
He was a very fresh and fun human child, in many ways.
First of all, remember.
What was the reaction when you first approached the boy?
His expression hardened. His eyes fluttered, and a clear feeling of tension surfaced.
But how should I say, it wasn’t fear?
From Tsumei’s point of view, it was a reaction that would have seemed suspicious.
Based on her circumstances, it seems correct that she saw through her own identity.
Aside from how he recognized himself, once he recognized himself, the reaction that could be expected was one of two things.
Continuing a conversation.
Either avoid the seat.
However, I predicted that the underlying emotion would be fear.
According to Tsumei’s experience, the reactions of people who recognized her were generally the same.
There is only one difference between overcoming fear and not being able to overcome it.
‘…… Neither of them, she.’
Tsumei’s eyes narrowed slightly.
She won’t know how to describe her reaction.
It’s true that you’re nervous.
It seems certain that you feel uncomfortable with yourself.
Do you feel as though those expressions, eyes, and attitudes weren’t created under the weight of the name ‘Gold Dragon’?
There was no evidence to be sure, but Tsumei had a hunch nonetheless.
The silver-haired boy is not afraid of himself.
‘If you were afraid of me in the first place, you wouldn’t have clung to me like that and whined.’
Tsumei smiled at the scene immediately before he suddenly came to mind.
What kind of confidence was that? Even though she knew she was a gold dragon, she attacked like that.
Well, I don’t know if it’s right to describe him as attacking, but he was a peculiar guy anyway.
I was so flustered that I half-reflexively kicked it…….
The more embarrassing part was the attitude the boy showed after waking up.
– Tsumei?
At the disjointed voice that lingered in his ears for a moment, Tsumei hesitated for a moment.
…… How many years had it been since someone called you by your first name?
She can’t remember, but I guess it was a long time ago.
“… ….”
For an instant, Tsumei’s expression took on a subtle light, then returned to normal.
I don’t know how many times I’m talking about it. That was definitely me.
Even the person who slapped him on the chin, stretched out his leg and thought, ‘Oops’.
But as soon as you wake up, you talk to me kindly?
Still, there was no trace of fear in those blue eyes.
He was looking purely at himself, in both a good and a bad way.
Perhaps that was what had bothered her all along, Tsumei guessed at her feelings.
The existence of a gold dragon.
For humans, it was something that could be said to be an object of awe.
Awe.
Respect, but fear at the same time.
It was natural.
Because dragons were such a species.

From the point of view of humans, it was a living, breathing disaster. It was a creature that I didn’t want to be involved with as much as possible.
Tsumei understood them.
She knew she deserved the fear.
So, she thought it would be okay.
Actually, nothing has happened so far.
…… She thought so
But what is it?
What should I say about this feeling?
There was no fear in the boy’s eyes as he looked at him.
What’s more subtle is that I don’t even feel respect, but…….
‘…… Well, that kind of thing is fine.’
Tsumei raised his eyebrows once and put the thought away.
She didn’t particularly disapprove of that.
After all, not all humans are obliged to respect themselves. Well, such a ‘minor’ problem was nothing.
In the end, the important thing is that the human boy liked Tsumei.
With an unusually innocent smile, Tsumei entered the auditorium.
Perhaps the entrance ceremony will begin soon.
And she thought it was unlikely that the boy would be able to break through the severance space he had created in that short gap.
He doesn’t have a particularly high barrier, but from the looks of it, the boy doesn’t seem to have any abilities.
It was a bonus that I didn’t feel a handful of shallow mana.
So, unfortunately for the boy, he won’t be able to enter the academy.
He actually threw out a mission that couldn’t succeed, but Tsumei didn’t harbor any guilt.
In the first place, the academy was a place where only those who met the condition of ‘outstanding talent’ could enter.
It was said that no matter how much she liked a person, she couldn’t get her admitted by giving preferential treatment.
Judging from her earnest attitude, it seemed like she had a reason to enter the academy, but that’s not the case.
Tsumei was a dragon who could completely keep her personal feelings out of the running of her academy.
‘Well, if it doesn’t feel right, you can take him around as my attendant. I personally wonder why he is so desperate.’
She was a human with a temper that is not often seen.
What to hide? Tsumei was quite satisfied with the man’s foolish attitude.
The way she speaks playfully even though she knows her true identity.
The boy had a peculiar temperament that stimulated her desires.
‘…… It sounds strange when you say desire.’
Scratching her cheeks with an embarrassing expression, Tsumei tried her best to divert her thoughts.
That’s just it. What is that, isn’t there a saying in the world that it’s a protective instinct?
I think desire or instinct are similar words anyway.
…… Let’s just go with something like that!
‘hehehe.’
Is it because my conscience is slightly pricked? Tsumei let out a sigh of relief.
Anyway, she didn’t just throw it into a place full of dangerous monsters just because it was a disconnected space.
There is something to eat, and a bed to rest for a while. There were dozens of books to pick up and read if you were bored.
Maybe it won’t be boring. At least until the entrance ceremony was over, he would have to be confined there.
‘Uh… ….’
As soon as he thought about that, Tsumei suddenly began to feel like a very vicious kidnapper himself.
First of all, I couldn’t admit them recklessly, so I locked them up for a while.
A dragon that has been living for thousands of years, with a blush on its face saying that it is satisfied while imprisoning a young boy.
…… No matter how you look at it, does it look like a problem?
“Uh uh… ….”
Tsumei came to his senses and let out a short quiet sound.
‘Well, who’s going to force it? What about special admission, ha!’
She then tried to rationalize her actions by force, but the conscience that remained inside her did not allow her to continue her thoughts any further.
The cold sweat had already begun to flow. Tsumei’s complexion darkened slightly.
Immediately after, she had to feel an unfamiliar voice ringing in her ears.
– Tsumei. Hurry up and fix your mind. You are an honorable gold dragon.
That was the voice of conscience.
‘That’s right.’
Tsumei hurriedly slapped me on the cheek several times.
I am a gold dragon. The last survivor of the clan.
It’s true that the boy piqued his interest, but it didn’t feel like anything.
Should I have asked the doctor first?
“… ….”
After a moment of silence, Tsumei closed her eyes tightly and cried out inwardly.
‘…… But, he grabbed me first and hung up!’
Ah, he gave me room first?!
Paaah!
-Oh hey, Tsumei!
Flinch!
It was at that moment that a high pitched voice pierced Tsumei’s ears.
In one corner of her field of vision, a beautiful fairy with blonde hair appeared.
-No matter how close to thousands of years he has lived alone, to think of using an innocent young boy who knows nothing as a toy. If a man commits such an evil act just because he is hungry…… !
“…… It’s not like that! Me, what the hell do you see me as!!!”
Aang!
The gold dragon roared!
“…… Me, dean?”
“Hut.”
And the next moment, a woman beside her Tsumei called her with her meaningful voice.
Like a broken machine, Tsumei turned her stiff head.
“Hey, Helena.”
“Yes… …. This is Helena.”
Purple hair and purple eyes.
She was a mature and beautiful woman with a sharp impression.
“I came here to inform you that the entrance ceremony is about to begin… ….”
She slurred her words, avoiding Tsumei’s gaze, and the meaning of that reaction was obvious.
In an instant, Tsumei’s face flushed with shame.
Aagh!
Letting out a scream (?), She sat down and buried her head in her lap.
“…… Kill me, Helena. Please kill me.”
“How do I kill a dragon, dean… ….”
*****
“… ….”
The moment I opened my eyes, what came into my field of vision was a needlessly large teddy bear.
That’s also a pink guy.
‘…… Uh… ….’
I went into a brain freeze for a moment, but I quickly understood the situation.
Not because of anything else, but because of the last scene that came to mind.
Tsumei pushed me into this space. That’s it.
I had no choice but to swallow the silence.
I knew the identity of this place.
One of Tsumei’s abilities.
A power of myth created from that mighty mana.
“Disconnection space… ….”
This was another dimension.
If you know the truth, it wasn’t such a grand space…….
At least, it wasn’t a level of magic that I could do right now.
To put it bluntly, parfait was impossible.
-If you can enter the auditorium by then, my sister will personally recognize you as the fourth exception.
‘f*ck, what is the fourth exception?’
I swallowed the curse in my stomach and soothed the bubbling heat.
No, to the subject thrown into a space that no one can see escaped, they say that if you enter the auditorium, you will be recognized as a special exception?
“You can say that, but this yellow lizard is really… ….”
Immediately after I uttered the words, I reflexively shuddered.
If Tsumei was gazing(?) In this space right now, I would be dead. Being a lizard was one of her least favorite swear words.
“…… Hmm.”
Fortunately, fortunately, I didn’t seem to have ears to hear when something didn’t happen right away.
I let out a sigh of relief and quietly got up from my seat.
“So what is this bear?”
It’s a bonus to get rid of the teddy bear that was crushing me halfway. It looks unnecessarily cute.
‘Is it Tsumei’s preference?’
I looked around with a subtle expression.
Honestly, it felt a bit broken.
Not only the teddy bears, but the entire space itself was pink.
It feels like a studio that a middle school girl has decorated to suit her taste.
This is the last dragon on the continent…… ?
“…… Come to think of it, there was a phrase in the setting book, ‘I have a slightly girlish taste’.”
I looked back at my memory and recalled a collection of settings for games I had seen in the past.
A DLC that includes main and supporting roles, minor roles and extras, as well as small stories within the worldview.
When I applied it to the game again, some hidden pieces would appear. It was mostly useless, though.
It was an additional content that you don’t need to buy unless you are a player who is really into this game, so why did I buy it?
“Oh… ….”
Come to think of it, maybe I was serious about this game…… ?
‘So I was possessed?’
Whatever.
First, I brushed off my thoughts. Because that wasn’t the problem right now.
“… ….”
Look at the end of the disconnected space.
Should this be called a gap in space, or what?
Anyway, there is always a ‘crack’ in this kind of subspace or overlapping dimension.
It is safe to say that it is the only connection point to the original world.
If I wanted to get out of here, I had no choice but to attack it.
-Don’t worry, I’ll come back after the entrance ceremony and take it out in time!
“After… ….”
Inwardly, I remember what Tsumei said brightly at the last moment.
Yeah, you fooled me like that and jumped out at the entrance ceremony by yourself, right?
This time she couldn’t stand the boiling heat.
Beating her chest, I poured out my anger at Tsumei.
“How easygoing I wish I looked!”
Of course, it’s true that I’m an incompetent person who doesn’t know how to do anything right now!
But damn, no matter how annoying it is, is it right to lock yourself in a disconnected space and say you don’t know me…….
“Ha.”
A sigh that felt quite different from before.
I deliberately stared into the air with a grave expression.
Now that it’s like this, even if it’s the real Ogiro, he’ll destroy the space and participate in the entrance ceremony.
“Just wait, yellow lizard.”
There is no need to hesitate.
Anyway, there was no other option for me.
…… The only advantage I have right now.
In other words, the ability to show off.
What can I say?
It’s the superpower of the body of this goddamn superpower that got caught as soon as he possessed it.
I am very worried about the penalty of missing a screw, but what can I do?
There really is no other way.
“Sup… ….”
With a frown on my face, I raised my hand.
-Reach out your hand towards the sky. Then you will respond.
What comes to mind is the status window immediately after being possessed.
It was just one sentence.
Pajik, Pajik…… !
A feeling as if the thunderbolts of the whole world were gathering in my hand.
Was it just a mere illusion caused by my brain?
Maybe not.
“──Thunder.”
That’s right, the very moment I muttered a short starter word.
Quarrreung!!!!!
Because heaven and earth have been opened.
