Skill Considerations and New Club Members

 Having successfully conquered the raid quest『Goten no Zakurosan』, here I am back to my daily life mode.

When it comes to the period of time that I experienced, it’d come to that I spent more than a week inside the dungeon.

When I went outside, it turned out that no more than one day had passed yet, so I felt a bit like Urashima Taro.

「… To think that the assignment for the supplementary lessons is an aged raid.」

Seiichi, who is in a slightly serious mode, crosses his arms and clicks his tongue.

「They’re totally treating us like sacrificial pawns, huh. They’ve done it now.」

「What do you mean?」

As she nibbles on snacks one after another, Mai, leaning against Seiichi’s back, tilts her head.

She’s on her own bed, so I do think she’s free to do whatever she wants, but the food scraps seem to be falling all over the place.

In fact, Seiichi is diligently and swiftly cleaning it up.

He is a guy with motherly attributes.

「It seems that the raid area, well, the singularity of the dungeon that is called the Other Realm, encroaches the dungeon when activated.」

I have a feeling that Rinko-senpai also said something along those lines.

It is a law of dungeons that the strength of monsters gradually becomes more powerful the lower the stratums you descend to.

It appears that if it ends up going out of control, or reaching critical state, high level monsters, the same as the ones in the Other Realm, will end up popping up in the area connected to the Other Realm.

「But it doesn’t really matter to us, does it? Even if the dungeon inside the map become dangerous, we are battling a place god knows where outside the map, after all.」

「Well, yeah. Generally speaking, the Other Realm seems to have a habit of drawing near to the exit of the dungeon, you know.」

「… It’s no bugs that gathers around light, after all.」

It appears that there are dungeon entrances and exits all over the world.

It seems that they also exist overseas such as Europe, China, India and the United States.

I had learned about it in class, but my memory is fuzzy.

If I remember correctly, they appear in places where civilizations and religions have developed to some extent, and end up disappearing naturally when they decline, or something along those lines.

I do remember that the most recently confirmed dungeon was from America.

「It’s just that, if you leave an activated otherworld alone, it seems that the influence will eventually spread even outside the dungeon.」

「The heck is that? Scary.」

「Like, monsters strutting around the above group, that’d be no joking matter dude. I don’t know if such guys were also mixed in among the monsters of the folklore, though.」

Quite a fantastic joke story it is.

「That’s why, as the academy’s policy, discovered『Other Realm』 are immediately authorized as a raid quest and crushed. It’s just that, the raid quests that are set to be crushed but can’t be are authorized as super class or extreme class and are monitored. If those quests show any signs of activating, the academy would toss in conquerors until they calm down. Something like that.」

「They are of use even they can’t beat the so-called Boss?」

「The reason is unknown, though. It’s like, they’re able to manage somehow or another that way.」

It’s something along the lines of letting the bored Boss, like child Nue, go wild and relieve its stress, huh.

「Of course, the safety of the students is completely ignored. If it wasn’t you, I guess no one would be able to tell how many times they would have ended up dying.」

Even as he feels relieved, Seiichi doesn’t hide his exasperated state.

In the case of the matter this time, I think I was just lucky.

As far as the Boss was concerned, Yuki-chan ended up smacking it down, and if it were the large monster before it was reborn, even I don’t think that I can beat it.

As expected, I still need a lot of training.

「Before that, Touma-kun, be sure to properly take care of Shizuka, okay.」

「Yea.」

A trap where Shizuka keeps tightly clinging to me all the time since a while ago, or rather ever since I returned, refusing to let go.

Even if it was a week for me, it was just one day of us being apart for Shizuka.

But Shizuka’s appearance sported a condition as if she had been completely worn out for about a whole week already.

With hollow cheeks and dark circles under her eyes, the vibe of her ending up breaking down was no joke.

It seems that Saki and the others were also worried and took care of her in a lot of ways, but it appears that she was in a completely autistic state.

Thus far, there were also times when we were apart for a night or so, though, so there shouldn’t have been any problem.

I wonder if it’s not good if we end up getting separated inside and outside the dungeon.

Somehow or other, I have a feeling that it’s related to the Shizuka crystal

It’s like she’s hungry for skinship, not sex.

Saki and the others as well as the Senpais are being considerate of her, so I’m wholly spoiling her one-on-one.

I should have paid more attention to Shizuka.

「This time, I’ve also fully realized how lacking I am. I ought to add even more training.」

「… For you to say so, it must’ve been over the top, huh. I almost ended up having a misunderstanding that perhaps we were actually pretty strong, you see.」

Seiichi-kun, who for some reason has read too much into my words, offers his agreement.

Now that I think about it, I have a feeling that I did nothing but hunt for gourmet food and go heave-ho! with the Senpais.

「You’re right. I thought that by chance, I could hold a serious one-on-one fight against someone around the third year student, but there’s no way that’s the case, isn’t it?」

「Yeah, thanks to Touma, our class change is going well, but as expected, I guess we are lacking in equipment and real combat experience. Looks like we have no choice but to attack the dungeon more actively, huh.」

「I think raid quests are a profitable event. We should aim for them assertively.」

Well, being positive is a good thing.

Let’s lead them into the path of dungeon junkies as is.

I’ve noticed it since the time I got back, but for the first time in a while, the level of『Raijin』 has increased.

Apparently, it seemed to be a system that, for them being unable to earn EXP in the raid area, granted bonus-like EXP to all participants when they conquered the raid quest.

As well as for the sake of my re-class change, I hope they’ll do their best.

◇ ◇ ◇

On the first day of school after the test break, the month has changed.

It’s June, the rainy season, but today’s weather is fine.

It’s just right for a change of clothes from a thick to a light one.

We students of the regular department take off our blazer jackets and sport an appearance of being clad in shirts that have the school insignia printed on the breast pocket.

Some of the students, who want to be recognized for their massive upper arm muscles, even seem to have been wearing short sleeves already.

What a blunder, I guess I should go change my clothes too.

Kuh, what triceps, such fine sharpness.

I’m jealous of the wire rope-like muscles that nonchalantly push out the cuffs.

「Mmm… you are…」

「Oh, it’s you, Senpai. It’s been a while.」

Skinny black slacks and a short-sleeved shirt with not even a single wrinkle.

I guess what differentiate him from the students of the regular department is the gold braid that hangs from the shoulder strap on his shoulder to his chest.

There’s no opening in his crisply set two-block haircut either today.

This is the first time I’ve met Senpai, who is both a student of the supreme department as well as the vice president of the student council, on the way to school.

The dormitory as well as the academy building for the students of the supreme department are different, so we don’t pass by each other during our usual academy life.

「It’s nothing, there just happened to be a notice issued by the student council.」

「… There’s no need for you to personally go to such a place, Reiji-sama.」

Actually, I frequently visit the training facility, though, so I’ve met Vice President-senpai times and again.

The one I’ve come to meet other than him is Massive Girl-senpai, who is usually there when I go to the training facility.

I think they call her the master of the gym or something.

She’s currently accompanying Vice President-senpai behind him, but she’s wearing long sleeves.

She can show off those flesh more.

「Those who stand above others must not spare their labor. Isn’t that right?」

「However, if anything were to happen in the place filled with such ruffian bunch….」

「They say a boy has seven enemies when he steps across the threshold. In other words, conduct yourself as though you were on a battlefield all the time.」

「Very noble of you. Reiji-sama.」

Seeing her being unwavering with her act of the Vice President absolutism today too, I feel warm and fluffy.

However, I believe there is no such aggressive assailant on the way to school.

「Though, aren’t you a little flaccid?」

Being pointed at with a sharp gaze, Shizuka stirs with a twitch and clings to my arm even more tightly.

She has considerably returned to her normal mode after giving a lot of constant skinship during the holiday, but I guess she ends up getting frightened by Senpai’s massive gaze.

In fact, it is a fact that I skipped muscle training as I was too busy with the supplementary lessons.

Kuh, no matter what I say, it’s going to be nothing but an excuse.

「… It is true that as a boy, we don’t know where and who the enemies will be. But just the same, we never know where or from whom we will be offered love.」

「I see, love, huh….. Then good!」

Frankly declaring that, he turns on his heel and steps into the distance.

Behind him, though, Massive Girl-senpai secretly makes a guts pose, I wonder if there is some kind of change in the way of thinking or something.

「… Hey, you. How come you are getting along with someone from the Flower group, not to mention the former Student Council President?!」

「… Uwa. I was super freaked out. The heck is that, I don’t get it at all.」

Seiichi and Mai, who have blended and turned into the background, begin to make a fuss.

What splendid invisibility.

「Mm. My relationship with Senpai is that of a bit of argument pertaining to muscles.」

I believe we’re as close as acquaintances.

And then, Shizuka holding her face between her own hands and going kyakya means she’s made a complete recovery, so all’s well that ends well.
