“Yes?”
There were only two days left until the Taeshin Festival.
“To hear that security forces are being dispatched from outside. Didn’t the Frontier say they wouldn’t accept outsiders?”
The upper floor of the student union building, the Epic Class Student Council meeting room.
In the midst of all the members of the Student Council, including the Vice President, the Executive Committee and the Steering Committee, the President of the Student Council, who was sitting alone in the seat of honor, looked back at the crowd and said.
“There are always exceptions to the rule.”
It was exactly what the chairman said. Rules are meant to be followed, but they are also meant to be broken. Observing established rules as a top priority, but flexibly coordinating internal affairs. That was the student body’s mission.
The chairman pounded on the table. He tilted his forehead diagonally and narrowed his brows. I didn’t seem to like this situation either.

Just, just—
Tap exactly twice and then open your mouth.
“And, strictly speaking, you cannot be called an outsider. How can we stop the imperial family from intervening? The justification was sufficient, and in a way, it was a situation that could be fully expected.”
“Yes, but… ….”
The circumstances were roughly as follows.
Since there has been a lot of small and big noise in the frontier lately, an official letter has come down from the imperial family saying that they will directly dispatch inspection and security troops to prevent anything big from happening this time.
However, it was not just a knight, but a bodyguard under direct control of the imperial family.
A group of monsters belonging to the Six Swords, Four Swords, and Two Swords among the Seven Swords of the Empire. It means that they went all the way to the frontier to keep an eye on the suspicious movements of the Taeshin Festival.
Originally, they were supposed to protect only the emperor and the imperial family. However, since the number of members of the royal family guards are said to be bringing their precious bodies to this near and far place, isn’t the festival, which should be enjoyed comfortably, turning into a chilly hearing…….
‘… My head hurts already.’
Of course, the SS can’t keep an eye on all of this wide frontier. How do you control tens of thousands of people?
Nevertheless, there is a high possibility that the festive atmosphere will stiffen without knowing or knowing just because the SS troops are stationed inside the frontier and watching people.
And above all else, this is like an indication that the Imperial Family will no longer trust the Frontier’s own security system.
‘Besides, maybe… We will assign key personnel to our class.’
This was almost a fait accompli.
Most of the big fuss so far have been the epic classes. In addition, considering the commonalities of those incidents, the SS would have focused on monitoring the Epic class. If so, the burden on the student body will also increase. Therefore, it was only natural that the president would rot his head like this.
Actually, even if the student council had a meeting, it didn’t mean much. How could anyone draw a conclusion that they were against the will of the imperial family in a place where only students were gathered? In the end, it was just pointless tabletop talk. You have to climb the line at the top of the dean’s level to be able to raise a voice the size of an ant.
…… Yes, Dean.
What is the dean doing?
It’s the same with post-processing during the last practice. At the most important moment, you leave your seat on your own. In the end, it wasn’t dismissed, but it came to the verge of dissolution. The same goes for the Vice-Chancellor. So anyway, that doesn’t help. What are the upper heads?
‘I can’t.’
The chairman, who recalled their faces, ran his hair nervously. He tucked his hair behind his ears. A bob of hair that had been cut like a knife near the nape of his neck glided. In addition to the intelligent eyes, the sophisticated beauty was blemished.
Epic Class Student President─ 3rd year Chirene Quincy.
An iron woman with miraculous arithmetic powers.
“The festival is two days away. In the meantime, there’s nothing we can do. All that remains is to stay alert while His Majesty’s eyes watch us. Got it? Don’t get ready to pack your bags if you touch something wrong.”
She said.
“Review only what will be reviewed in the end, and then disband. After I finish this, I have to go see the dean’s face.”

Suddenly, I’m fucked.
I don’t think I’ve been fucked once or twice in my life. But fucked up is fucked up. You can’t say it’s not right. If you were fucked yesterday, you can be fucked today, and you can be fucked tomorrow and the day after that. Then, every moment is fucked up. When you wake up, every day will unfold. It’s terrible.
Like my spirit right now.
“I-I’m sorry… ….”
“… ….”
It’s cold. A dagger flies into the chest and pierces it. A bleak wind blew. It was cold. The cold air from the person in front of me was colder than that wind. It looked like it would freeze if you poured water on it.
‘… How did it end up like this?’
Once I started losing, there was no bottom or end. I was in the middle of apologizing to Mew, who was sitting on a bench in an empty lot with his arms crossed.
The reason is simple.
Because he refused to enjoy the festival alone with Mew.
“… ….”
Then he got really mean and didn’t want to listen to me at all. He sits still and closes his eyes.
As you can see, Planting looked very uncomfortable. Her brows tightened and her mouth was tightly closed. If I leave it like this and run away, I will live with the remnants for a while. I’ve only come this far, but I can’t.
Let’s say something for now.
“That was on purpose… No, that’s on purpose. I already told you I’m not really interested in festivals.”
“… ….”
“Exactly where are you planning to stay during the festival? I’m a bit of a dangerous person, so if you’re around me, you and other kids could be dangerous. Therefore… ….”
“I am older than you.”
“… Ok?”
Mu opened one of his eyes. Staring at me
“I am stronger than you. Rather, if I protected you, I protected you, so there is no need to worry about me at all, right?”
You know. You’re good
But that and this are a bit different.
“… Don’t you remember the last time? What if that devil-like guy comes out again?”
“That’s right, isn’t it obvious?”
Mew raises his chin and says. Proudly
“Then you have to risk your life to protect me.”
“… ….”
Because you’re such an impudent guy.
“Your words have changed a bit since then. Is it because of my mood?”
“Things have changed. Are you inflexible?”
“… ….”
Okay. Defeated. Earn 1 loss today.
“No, I’m worried about you and the other kids… ….”
“It’s a festival. Don’t be anxious, just enjoy. If something happens, go and think about it then. Are you going to waste a chance that comes only twice a year like this? And a chance to go around alone with a pretty girl like me?”
Mew sighed with her other eye open. The tightly fixed arms are still unresolved. However, I focused on one keyword.
“Mi… What?”
“Why did you say something wrong?”
Wow.
He really reminds me of the old days.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to say this.”
“Then don’t do it.”
“… To be honest, I still don’t know how to treat you. But since you’re getting so close, it’s a bit embarrassing for me. Are you not very comfortable with me? It’s a bit awkward, isn’t it?”
“I told you not to do it, so I dared to do it again. This human.”
Mu sighed again.
“Sometimes you talk like you never did.”
“Huh?”
“Do you think it would have been different in the past? You always lived with me Have you ever given up on approaching you because you were embarrassed, uncomfortable, or embarrassed? Would not have been This is my original personality as you know.”
“That’s it… What….”
“And you wanted it. To be comfortable with me again. Even if you listen to what you want, what if you keep saying things differently? What if it’s uncomfortable, don’t I ever talk to you again? Should I just drop out of school altogether? Will you stop worrying about me if I disappear forever in front of your eyes?”
“You didn’t tell me that far.”
He scratched his head. Looking around, there were not many people. I’m glad. It was a conversation that wouldn’t be good to hear from someone else.
I pressed my forehead for a while before opening my mouth.
“Looking at it now, you are more sensitive than before. I want to be comfortable with you too, but if you keep doing this, I’ll be in trouble too. The situation is different from back then, and the environment is different. I want you to know that too.”
“… It’s okay.”
I lowered my voice, and Mew startled and bit her lip.
Myu, the junior in the swordsmanship department, and Ezio, the weak senior, are not here. There are only freshmen Mu and Ezio. We were no longer lovers, but friends. If it’s just a bad friend, there won’t be a problem, but unfortunately it’s a little different.
Mu had a lot of emotions accumulated in me. She broke the dam of emotions that had been blocked for so long. To me, it seems to be controlling, but it wasn’t at all. She was slowly crossing the line. I don’t even know where the exact boundary is. Rather, is that so? Am I going crazy because I keep accepting it?
A complex thread of guilt, resentment, and affection. A mass of tangled emotions. That’s probably me too.
I am afraid to love you, and I love you to be afraid. Emotions that cannot be compatible repeat pushing and pulling each other. What a messy relationship.
Is this really a normal friendship?
‘I’m not sure. Never.’
Mew narrowed her gaze when I seemed to be deliberately angry. Unfolding her arms and carefully touching her.
“Okay…. Do not be angry….”
“… ….”
Oh, that’s right.
The atmosphere is getting weird again.
“…… Didn’t you get angry first?”
“Yes….”
Still, it seems that he has changed.
“I’m sorry, senpai….”
You know how to apologize.
“I just want to have fun with my seniors again….”
It’s not that I don’t know that feeling.
After sighing for the number of times this time.
“Yes. I like to play with you too.”
“… Really?”
“Why would you lie about this? Okay, so let’s go to the festival together. Eat something delicious, enjoy what you enjoy.”
“…… !”
Myu’s shrunken shoulders straightened out. Her eyes widened and she seemed to ask me if it was real.
I nodded her head in affirmation.
… However.
“Instead of”
#10
On the day of Taeshinje, the first day.
It’s a weekday morning, in the middle of a clear sky with the sun shining down.
“Mmm! Nice weather!”
Amid the crowd of people, Ezio smiled contentedly as she placed her hand on her waist.
“Wow, wow!”
The seat right next to Ezio.
“Too many people! Too many! Rubia, shouldn’t we hold hands?!”
“Now, wait a minute. Can we go out Do you think the tram is full?”
“Whoops. Don’t worry, folks. If there is no road, you can make one!”
“Huh? What do you do?”
“Come on, Mr. Ezio! It’s a six-shot! Mr. Ezio can clear the way! Let’s go! Quickly! Quickly!”
Ruvia, Yuri, and Stella, each dressed in plain clothes, were making a fuss.
Meanwhile.
“… Ezio.”
From behind Ezio, a low voice called out to him. Of course, it was Mew dressed up to the fullest with the idea of enjoying the festival with Ezio.
“I’ve never called people like this before.”
“What are you talking about!”
Ezio bared his teeth and raised his thumb.
“A festival is best enjoyed by everyone!”
“… ….”
It’s such a nice weather, but Myuu’s expression is like a withered sunflower.
