Episode 329: Dawn of turmoil

 

 The next day.

 

 

 I join Aki and go to school for the first time in a while.

 

 

 It seems that our classmates, who basically treat us like air, were able to finish the summer vacation without anyone dying.

 

 

“Come to think of it, it seems that the international student is finally coming.”

 

 

 Aki tells me such a story in the classroom.

 

 

 At school, he hangs out with me most of the time, but where on earth does he get that kind of information from.

 

 

 It’s often said that this or that is one of the seven wonders of the school, but Aki is much more of a mystery.

 

 

“That’s right. I wonder what kind of person it is.”

 

“It completely seems to be a transcendentally beautiful girl.”

 

 

 When I ask about the international student, Aki answers with a grin and his mouth lifted as if to say that he is waiting.

 

 

“Hee. I don’t really care.”

 

 

 Even though it should have been impossible for me to simply get along with Shia, Amane, and Rei, I probably won’t be involved with such a beautiful girl anymore.

 

 

“That’s right. You have Alexia-chan.”

 

 

 Aki teases me with a grin as I reply emotionlessly.

 

 

“I, it’s not like Shia has anything to do with it!?”

 

“Nn. I’m here.”

 

“Look, isn’t Alexia-chan saying that, too?”

 

 

 When I answer in dismay, Shia answers as if it is the most natural thing to say and joins the conversation.

 

 

 The reason why I’m so flustered is because Shia’s attack has leveled up.

 

 

 For some reason, she put her desk together with mine, and her seat is also perfectly aligned, and she wrapped her arms around mine. She looks like a High School girl who can’t measure the distance.

 

 

 As expected, after having been confessed to by her, when such a girl behaves like that, I can’t help but be conscious of her.

 

 

“You’re fine … because you have Alexia-chan.”

 

“That’s why I told you, Shia is different.”

 

 

-Gara gara gara gara!

 

 

 In the middle of my words, the entrance door to the classroom opens.

 

 

“Ye ~ s, take a seat.”

 

 

 Seen from a different perspective, the peaceful time ends with the appearance of Sensei … Or so I thought, but Shia doesn’t really change, she just keeps sticking to me.

 

 

“Katsuragi … No, that’s fine.”

 

 

 I thought Sensei would warn her, but for some reason she doesn’t say anything.

 

 

 Why exactly …

 

 Are you saying there is no God …(TN:Meaning he was hoping the God(Sensei) would save him.)

 

 

 I am shocked by the teacher’s response.

 

 

“Alright, you guys. It’s been a long time. I’m happy to welcome the second semester without missing anyone. Good news for you guys. The international student who was supposed to arrive a while ago has finally arrived. Rejoice, men, she’s a beautiful girl.”

 

“”Uooooooooohhhhhhhh!!””

 

 

 Sensei leaves me and Alexia alone, looks around us and starts talking happily, just as Aki had said, it turns out that a beautiful international student has arrived.

 

 

 The men in the class shout in delight at Sensei’s words.

 

 

“It’s alright, you can come in.”

 

 

-Gara gara gara gara!

 

 

 At the teacher’s signal, the door slowly opens.

 

 

 I’m not interested, so I look outside.

 

 

 I wonder if it will end soon.

 

 

 I’m starting to want to dive into dungeons properly, and I think about dungeons.

 

 

“Introduce yourself.”

 

“Yes. I’m Noelle Kanon, desu. Nice to meet you.”

 

 

 At the edge of my thoughts, the international student girl introduces herself fluently in Japanese with a slightly peculiar intonation.

 

 

 Eh? Wait, this voice …

 

 

 When I hear a familiar voice, I involuntarily turn my face, which had been looking outside, toward the girl.

 

 

 Saint!?

 

 

 Yes, there is a girl standing there who looks exactly like the Saint’s photo. She was skinny and haggard when we met, but now she seems to be fully recovered and looks just like her picture.

 

 

 And, the moment I see her, she also looks at me and our eyes meet.

 

 

“Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!”

 

 

 At that moment, Noelle points at me and lets out a startled voice.

 

 

 Geh … No way …

 

 

“My Yuusha-sama, I found you, desu!! To be able to meet in a place like this, as I thought, we’re destined to be together, desu!!”

 

 

 Saying that, she rushes over to me.

 

 

“Nn.”

 

 

 But, Noelle can’t get close to me.

 

 

 Because Shia stands between me and Noelle.

 

 

“You are, desu?”

 

 

 Noelle, whose path is blocked, asks in dissatisfaction.

 

 

“Katsuragi Alexia. Fuu-kun’s wife. I will protect my husband.”

 

 

 Shia answers in the usual blunt way.

 

 

 Wh ~ at!! Since when did we get married!?

 

 I haven’t replied yet!?

 

 

 And no matter how you look at it, isn’t that a declaration of war against Noelle!!

 

 Please stop!!

 

 

“What are you talking about, desu? My Yuusha-sama is destined to marry me, desu!! We even exchanged a passionate kiss, desu!!”

 

 

 Noelle barks like a dog threatening Shia, who claims to be my wife.

 

 

“”Gununu! Unforgivable!!””

 

“”Why is it always about him!!””

 

 

 Gazes attack me as if they are drawn by Noelle’s words.

 

 

“I did it too. So I won’t lose.”

 

 

 Shia also puffs out her moderately sized breasts and insists on not being defeated. Because of that, I feel that the murderous intent of the gazes stuck to me has increased.

 

 

 Seriously, please give me a break!!

 

 Neither of those things happened as a result of my own will!!

 

 

 When I see the two of them glaring in front of me while making excuses towards the gazes, I can see sparks flying between them.

 

 

 What will happen to my High School life from now on …

 

 

 The eyes of the two of them and the people around me make me very anxious about the beginning of the second semester.
