There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

25. party (2)

Seria, who broke the silence and raised an objection to the homeroom teacher, showed a confident expression as if she was very reasonable.

“Hmm. I’m surprised that you objected, Seria. I thought others would do it.”

The homeroom teacher stroked his chin and spoke.

“But, first of all, it’s a decision I made after thinking about it. Seria. Why do you have to change Sirius and Arin?”

Everyone looked at Seria.

To be honest, I didn’t think it would change too much just because I entered the Arin position.

I also thought that if I had the ring on, I might lose in a pure magic battle.

Does she have a good reason of her own?

“Because… well… Sirius is half of us!”

Please tell me what you think…

Of course, the recorded score is right, but it didn’t feel very good from the listener’s point of view.

Ah, I really wondered if I should have used a little stronger magic at that time.

“Apart from being in last place, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with group distribution, right?”

The homeroom teacher asked as if wondering.

“Sir, I’ve learned that the most important thing in any party is balance.”

“so?”

“I think it’s the right theory that Sirius, who is last in the group where I am in first place, is.”

“hmm”

Well, in terms of pure numbers, it wasn’t so wrong.

And even from my point of view, objectively, our party looked weak compared to Luna and Seria’s party.

But since it’s temporary anyway, I thought it wouldn’t matter. I don’t think it’s something to be so obsessed with.

I looked at the reactions around me.

Standing on the other side of me, Arin was almost in tears.

She seemed happy at the thought of being in the same group as Seria until just now, but I felt sorry for everything.

And the one I care about the most, but partly right next to me, who I don’t see.

I couldn’t bear to look at Luna’s expression.

Luna quickly tapped her arm with her index finger as if she didn’t like it with her arms crossed.

Eventually, the fingering stopped, and Luna opened her mouth.

“teacher.”

The homeroom teacher, who seemed to be thinking about it, turned to Luna.

“I’m number one too.”

hmm?

After that, Luna didn’t say anything.

The homeroom teacher seemed a bit taken aback when he just appealed that he was number one and didn’t talk behind his back.

But he seemed to understand her intentions.

Luna thought that if that’s the case, she wants to say that it’s right for me to go to her team.

The homeroom teacher slapped his forehead as if he was in trouble.

“Well… Actually, going as planned is the most convenient, but if you guys think so.”

The homeroom teacher spoke in the direction of adjusting the party.

My plan to make new friends in a place where no one knew me seemed to have collapsed.

Ehh… I don’t know who’s going to be at the same party, but neither of them felt comfortable.

In the case of Seria, I thought it would have been quite an awkward relationship because I said that yesterday.

In the case of Luna, I already imagined that if I had a conversation with a girl in private, I would be harassed all day long.

I just thought that the place the homeroom teacher was trying to set was God’s will, and I tried to fit in.

My life was full of things that didn’t go my way anyway, so I thought it was nothing.

The homeroom teacher looked at me slightly apologetically.

Hey. teacher. no way.

“Hmmm. Then, since there are two people in first place and only one Sirius in last place, do you agree that it’s right for Sirius to go to the party he wants to go to?”

Everyone, including Seria and Luna, nodded.

Seria with a face as if she’s not coming and what are you doing?

Luna smiled as if she had already won.

No matter where I went, I was on a thorny road, so I tried to carve out my own path.

“I just want to be on an existing team!”

The back of my head was tingling at Luna and Seria’s death, but I found comfort in seeing Arin, who was the only one smiling brightly.

Yes… if anyone is happy…

The homeroom teacher nodded.

“Okay. Then let’s do as I have planned. The story of Seria and Luna also has a point, but in the end, we do it one at a time, so don’t be too upset about it.”

So, once our first party was confirmed.

The homeroom teacher aligned us with the party.

“Good, good. It looks good. Everyone. Then, let’s tell the party what to do.”

Do you want to fight? Or an outside mission? Maybe it’s the first time we met, hunting demons?

To be honest, I didn’t like hunting demons.

Now it’s going to be a fratricide.

All sorts of speculations ran through my head.

And the words that came out of his mouth were completely different.

“I hope we can get to know each other from now on.”

…yes?

At the timing when everyone was listening, the homeroom teacher’s instructions made everyone look dumbfounded.

No, I didn’t come to a school to play. It was a joke about wanting to become friends.

Cairo, who seemed to be invisible, said a word.

“Sir. We didn’t come here to hang out or make friends here. We don’t have the time to do that.”

His heavy bass seemed to tell how dissatisfied he was.

If I had that kind of personality in the first place, I could imagine how unlikable the homeroom teacher would feel.

The homeroom teacher burst out laughing, saying that you knew that.

“Then. Do you think you guys will be able to hunt demons with that member right now? Cairo?”

The homeroom teacher laughed and talked, but his eyes were not smiling at all.

“In any third-rate party, the most basic thing is to be able to get behind your comrades.”

“Can you risk your life right now for Leon, your party member? Conversely, can Leon trust you and fight back?”

“Since they are temporary party members, the time together won’t be that long, and even if they want to get to know each other, there won’t be many opportunities to do so.”

“So, let’s give it time for just this week. Get as close as possible to the current party members.”

No one could vomit in the atmosphere of something solemn.

And it was also a true story.

How can you fight for your life without knowing anything about each other.

If you do, do what you ask. It could be done this way, but it was a fact that everyone knew that a warrior’s party wouldn’t feel like that.

“Now, 4 days out of 5 days left. You party members, one by one, decide on a theme and decide the day’s routine yourself.”

“It’s good to train together, or just get together and drink tea. It’s good to introduce your favorite magic. I won’t care about the method at all.”

“Instead. When we gather here next week, I expect you to have at least a minimum understanding of each other and to have proper communication.”

The homeroom teacher disappeared after saying that the explanation would end here and punish those who do not behave properly.

Luna servants told me that they were stealing wages, but the real robber was the homeroom teacher.

How do you prepare activities for students to do in class and ask them to do it themselves? Then, I wondered where the homeroom teacher was resting.

It seemed like an absurd story, but we couldn’t go against the teacher’s will, so we ended up sitting together at a party.

Kane doesn’t look good.

Raven can’t read expressions.

Yuri’s expression is trying to do something.

And I, Sirius, sandwiched between them.

When there was silence without any conversation, I looked around.

Other parties already seemed to be talking about something.

At Seria’s party, it felt like Arin was proceeding while asking questions in a clear way.

On the other hand, at Luna’s party, Leon was seriously talking about something in front of them.

Don’t yawn, Luna. Let’s be ashamed of the person who speaks.

If I keep going like this, even if today passes, there is no sign of the end, so I finally opened my mouth.

“Hmm… Hmm…! Well… We’re having a party too, so let’s talk.”

Kane glanced at me, and Raven still looked at me with empty eyes.

As if appreciating my words, Yuri grabbed my hands and agreed with my words.

“That’s right~ let’s get along~ hahahaha…”

I thought I was going to die of awkwardness, but I’m so glad you’re here, Mr. Yuri.

“Well then, who should decide tomorrow’s plans?”

I know that if you ask a question like this, no one will answer.

So I shredded the paper I had brought inside my uniform and wrote down the numbers from 1 to 4.

“I think this is fair. They say that if it’s something we have to do anyway, let’s do it right away.”

I pulled out the papers in the order of Raven Kane and Yuri, and I took the last one left.

The number I picked was 4. Luckily it was for the last day.

Our party had to schedule the next four days in the order of Yuri Kane Raven.

Yuri seemed burdened by being the first, but the people here didn’t seem interested in such things at all.

It’s just me. It seemed that kind of mentality.

“Then, since we’ve decided on the order for today, let’s think carefully and decide what we’re going to do that day, and let’s finish it here!”

It was my leadership for a quick return home after a quick cleanup. Today, I will definitely succeed in taking a nap.

When I left the gymnasium and entered the road to the dormitory, a silver-haired lady with a fresh expression was waiting for me.

“Sirius. You didn’t pick me?”

Is there really no nap?
