Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 11 Second Period (section)

===Part 5===

Landred let out a sigh alone inside the infirmary where everyone had left and she looked around the room.

Suddenly, her eyes gazed at the two beds lined up there.

The time was almost ten o’clock already. She thought whether she should just sleep here.

Landred was really pleased with this workplace. The place was comfortable to the degree that it was too good to be called a workplace. She felt that the bed was inviting her to sleep on it even now.

「Aa……」

However, today was the day that her favorite drama was on air.

「……Let’s go home.」

She talked to herself like that and exited the infirmary with her bag hanging on her shoulder. She locked the door, changed her shoes at the entrance for the teaching staff and exited the academy.

The dormitory for the teaching staff was very near the academy. It was ten minutes by walking. She also could sleep until the very last minute in the morning, so it was really helpful.

There was a convenience store midway, it was her daily routine to buy a dinner there and go home. Today too she stood in front of the convenience store and entered inside with the invitation of the automatic door. Each time she entered inside, she felt a mysterious feeling. This place was like a magic shop. Inside the shop that couldn’t be said to be spacious at all, various products were lined up in closely packed arrangements.

Bento and side dish. Snack and drink. Stationery and cosmetic. When one looked carefully at the minute detail, the shelves were crammed with a lot of variety of products. It was as though there was a competition of how many products could be fitted into the small space.

Landred liked walking while staring at those small products. She would even take something that she might never bought for her whole life into her hand and stare at it, imagining what kind of person created the product, what kind of person would buy it, she was having fun with her imagination that she would forget time completely.

「Ah, I must not do this. If I don’t choose the dinner……」

She returned to her senses and stood up in front of the bento and side dish corner. It was a difficult problem starting from here. Every single one looked delicious, she also wanted to try to eat, but even if it wasn’t today……she began to think like that and lacked the deciding factor. Or rather should she try onigiri with side dishes as the accompaniment? Like that the variation would expand and there would be infinite combinations.

Before, she didn’t have this kind of worry. Before, something like choosing what she would eat, even thinking of such a thing was──,

「My?」

──Again. Sometimes she would remember a habit that she knew nothing about out of the blue. But, she didn’t pay attention to it. Because she had the hunch that doing that would be better.

Losing her current livelihood was something that she was afraid of more than anything.

In the end, she decided to buy tuna onigiri, pork miso soup that was full of ingredients, green salad and shrimp and broccoli salad, and in addition a chocolate cake.

She thought while walking out of the convenience store. All things considered, it was amazing how people thought up a lot of variety of sweets like this. Furthermore the products were frequently changing. She couldn’t help but marvel, just how people got the ideas for these kinds of things. Besides, this onigiri , that was this delicious, could be obtained wherever she went, and what’s more it was prized less than a hundred yen. Unbelievable. Sometimes, she was also taken to a good restaurant and treated with food there while on the business of the academy. The restaurant was wonderful with delicious foods, but mysteriously she felt stronger happiness from this onigiri that was less than a hundred yen.

While she was thinking profoundly of such things, she arrived at the dormitory for the teaching staff. It was a mansion with eight floors, and Landred’s room was on the fourth floor. She went up until the fourth floor using an elevator, walked in the corridor and inserted her key into the keyhole of the door leading to her room. Perhaps hearing of the sound she made, or perhaps a coincidence, the door of the neighboring room opened and her neighbor showed up her face.

「Aa Landred-sensei, gooood timing~」

「My, Sakisaka-sensei. Good evening.」

Sakisaka-sensei must have been drinking quite much already. Her face was bright red.

「I got my hands on a good sake see, won’t you come hereee? I have a lot of snacks you know─」

「Thank you very much. But, it’s a bit difficult for me today. Forgive me okay?」

「I seee, that’s unfortunate. Theen today I’m drinking alone, driiinking in a binge.」

She withdrew back to her room in a good mood.

Did that person have any day where she wasn’t binge drinking? But in a sense she might be a big shot. Surely, even on the last day of the world she would still spend her time while having fun.

Landred entered inside her room.

This small 1LDK room was her castle. It was a really mediocre mansion, but she was really pleased with it.

The room she previously lived in was pointlessly spacious. However, if she spoke honestly, it was too spacious that she couldn’t calm down no matter what. Actually, she liked a room that was snugly like this.

There was also no attendant. A castle for just herself. This narrow world was indescribably precious for her.

「……My?」

Again. Just what in the world was she misunderstanding about? Was she under the imagination that she was a queen or something? She thought that it was mysterious if she said so herself and she chuckled by herself.

There was no way that a mere nurse teacher like her could live in that kind of big house. There was no way she was able to employ any servant or anything.

When she turned on her TV, the drama she wanted to see was just starting. When she spread out the dinner she bought, her hands suddenly stopped.

‘Come to think of it, I put the beer I received from Sakisaka-sensei inside the refrigerator.’

She stood up and took the beer, and then she sat down on the carpet once more. *pshew* The hearty sound of carbonic acid leaking out felt pleasant on her ears. She put the can on her mouth directly and drank the cold beer. Cold sensation passed through inside her throat and fell into her stomach. She spontaneously let out a ‘kuuuh’ voice. And then she laughed by herself once more.

Watching the drama while eating dinner. When the drama entered the latter half, she put hot water into her bath and ate the snacks she bought with coffee. When the drama was over, she entered the bath, and after that just what in the world she did until she went to sleep? Even her sleeping time was free as she pleased. And then when morning came she went to work.

What a really lovely spiral.

It was a normal, regular day without anything particular.

But, she was really satisfied.

It was as though she had somehow obtained something that she had only dreamed about until now, that was how she felt.

This was a really happy, and kind world.

Even if it was just a world of dream.
