Pasifista


「Dear us, after cleaning out the club room, we ended up with quite a lot of stuff, you see. These days we’ve even been getting amazing materials one after another, so I think it will be a waste to get rid of them.」

「Otoha-senpai. Of course we won’t ask for your acknowledgement for free.」

A cover fire comes behind Touma, who had stiffened and remained in gendo pose.

「We’ll be joining the Asagi security unit.」

「You know what? It’s true that the security unit is lacking in personnel since not many people are interested in joining it, but first-year students are lacking in strength.」

The security unit was literally the defense force of the dormitory.

Its duties ranged from mediating fights between boarding students to doing a bit of physical work, and then defending the dorm against monsters.

There were extremely rare cases where the miasma that was encroaching from Yomotsu Hirasaka through Rashomon caused monsters to appear even on the above ground.

They were at most monsters of the lowest-ranking in the dungeon, but of course there was no redo method like returning from the dead.

Moreover, they had also confirmed the phenomenon of wild plants, animals, and insects getting affected by the miasma and monsterized.

Most of them were instant monsters that could only exist for a single night or so.

「Hmm. I guess I can vouch for the abilities of these kids. They are without a doubt stronger than us, and maybe even stronger than you, Otoha-chan, probably.」

Otoha gave Rinko a doubtful look, but she was not particularly overconfident in her abilities.

This stemmed from the fact that students with high-level combat classes tended to end up stepping up the ranks of the dormitories they resided in.

As for Asagi-sou, as you could see from the fact that the second-year student Otoha was serving as the Christie leader, at the moment there were no top rankers-like fighters belonging to it.

「Otoha-chan, Otoha-chan, Touma-kun and the others are really strong, you know. They all go swoosh and shuaing boom, after all.」

Hearing the assurance of Mikan, the only member of the『Adept Workers』 who had once accompanied Touma and his party, she ended up showing an even more dubious look.

「 … To put it bluntly, I can’t believe it, and I also have a feeling that perhaps you girls are being duped, Mikan-chan.」

「Eeh, that’s awful of you, Otoha-chan.」

「Very well. I shall ascertain your ability. Ah, you don’t need to take out your handbook. I’m sure you’ll be able to see the reality after actually having a bout.」

It was common knowledge to students that the status display in the student handbook, which was renowned for its lack of accuracy, served as no more than the bare minimum standard.

In terms of mechanism, it by no means searched for the information of the person in question.

It merely counted the number of monsters subjugated in the dungeon and recorded the amount of experience based on the EXP of the average level monster in the stratum, divided by the number of party members.

Other things it detected were stratum transfer in the dungeons, as well as class changes and EXP resets in the『Cathedral』.

「Now then, if we pass the test, please accept Touma-san and Seiichi-san as Asagi Sorority’s『special advisors』.」

With a raised eyebrow, Otoha looked at Shizuka.

「… Hoh. I wonder if you researched all of the ridiculously numerous entries of academy dormitory rules? Very well. I shall be your opponent.」

Being the top of the Sorority meant being the strongest boarding student.

She was more than qualified to move into a middle class dorm.

「If I win, we’ll act as if this talk never happened. And of course, Touma-kun will also be banned.」

The leader of the Asagi Sorority, Otoha, was renowned among the second-year students as a talented woman of the martial faction.

◇ ◇ ◇

「I think she’s going to be pushed down five seconds after it’s begun.」

「Or like~, insert the moment she falls. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they go all the way to the last finish as is.」

「Otoha should have no partner. Rather, I think things would be simpler that way.」

「… Umm, do you have a second? Be things as they may be, I’m still a『Knight』, a second step class of『Fighter』 branching, though.」

In front of the merry and carefree peanuts gallery, Otoha-san, clad in full armor, is holding an estok.

The armor is a full-body armor made by『Adept Workers』, carved out of the shell of a monster, and seems to be astonishingly lightweight in spite of it possessing hardness beyond that of steel.

And the estok seems to be a magic item produced from a dungeon treasure chest.

Estok is mainly a slender, straight-bladed sword designed to pierce heavy armor such as a chainmail, just as its alias『armor piercer』, I think.

There is a similar Western sword category called rapier, but the two have different shapes and handling methods.

It is basically a『thrusting』 weapon, so it seems to have a good affinity with『Knight』 who have『Charge』 skill.

Come to think of it, during my duel pilgrimage, there was an opponent who rushed at me with a unnaturally accelerated tackle, I guess that was the so called『Charge』, huh.

「The kuh, kill me attribute, huh. Looks like the outcome is already as clear as day.」

「Touma-kun, do treat her kindly, okay.」

「Leave it to me.」

「Say, don’t you think it’s quite not right? Isn’t the one you should be worried about the other way around?」

A temporary battle area has been set up in front of the entrance of Asagi-sou.

Given the fact that today is Sunday, there are also a lot of boarding students who are spectating, peeking out their faces through the windows or the front door.

It is not a student duel (Mensur) this time, so there is no mysterious field made by the duel committee.

Otoha-san, who for some reason is indignant, is glaring at me, but there is no SP bar on the ▼ display above her head.

Not only can she not use her skills properly, she doesn’t have SP armor either, so isn’t this a bit too unfair of a condition, I wonder.

Well, it seems that magic skills that depend on magic items and, for those who have reached a certain high level, low consumption skills can be used even on the above ground.

And then, the thing called miasma concentration around the academy seems to fluctuate, and depending on the stars and weather conditions, there are also times when you can use skills on the same level you use in the dungeon, or so it was said during the class.

「For the time being, beat her instantly with all of your might. I’ve realized these days that if you’re faced with something too absurd, you won’t even be able to muster up strength to retort.」

「I just accepted an order from Mikan-senpai to treat her gently, though.」

「… Are you seriously going to gently publicly humiliate her? Just be sure to stop before she has a personality breakdown.」

I think maybe this guy is an idiot.

Even if Otoha-san has an exhibitionist hobby, shame play is too much of a peculiar fetish.

Or rather, as if flowing, the bout arrangements have ended up being put in order, but I’d like to ask some matters to Shizuka-san pertaining to this present situation.

It seems that the talk of forming a club has been moving forward, leaving me out of it.

「Looks like you’re underestimating me quite a lot there…. Now, get ready! I’m going to have you experience pain for a bit.」

Since a while ago, Otoha-san has been making loser flag-ish remarks.

It’s scary that I feel that she’s going to start saying, 「Kuh, kill me」, or something.

Unlike the punishing of scums, a match with pride at stake ought to be carried out fairly.

At the very least, Raijin-style high-speed maneuvers and navel snatches should be sealed.

I don’t know the reason for this fight, so even now I can’t raise my motivation, but winning is what a match is all about.

It’s using the same rules as that of a student duel (Mensur), so I stand face to face with Otoha-san.

「… What about your equipment? I told you to come at me for real, didn’t I?」

「I’m combat ready at all times. Therefore, don’t worry about it.」

What I’m currently wearing is the sports jersey which I usually wear.

For girls, there are some students who are dressed up in fashionable outfits, but for boys, their daily wear are usually jerseys.
