Editing Unlimited Fafnir:Brynhildr Valkyries Chapter 1 (section)

===Part 6===

Encountering new things every day in Midgard, there were often times when I found myself lost.

Academics, practical applications of dark matter, duties at the dorm—There were many things I had to work on, as hard as I could. Before I knew it, two weeks already passed.

The wind howled fiercely outside the window on that day.

Trees were swaying hard, leaves were flying in the air. Looking from afar, the sea seemed gray, looking like a desolate wasteland.

"The clouds are drifting so quickly."

I looked at the sky and murmured. Firill-san nodded and concurred.

"...I hate typhoons."

"There is only wind at the moment, but it will probably rain soon. We might get drenched unless we go back..."

Looking at the sky shrouded in dark clouds, Lisa remarked gloomily.

Gathered by the window in the classroom, we all sighed together.

This was my first typhoon after arriving at Midgard. Since the dorms were nearby, lessons were not suspended even in this sort of weather. We were having class as usual.

At this moment, I heard the door open. I looked back to see Haruka-san at the doorway, looking in our direction.

"Everyone—I am sorry to say this but the practical lesson I'm in charge of today has been suspended."

We looked at each other after hearing Haruka-san.

"Because of the typhoon?"

Haruka-san shook her head at Firill's question.

"No, that is not the reason. In truth, newcomers are arriving by ship today... However, the typhoon has caused a bit of a delay. I must head out to handle this matter."

"...Newcomers."

Firill murmured with surprise.

I gasped.

Juniors arriving by ship as I had two weeks earlier... As a newcomer, this felt quite poignant to me.

"Yes, there are three of them this time. But at this rate, they will probably arrive when the wind is at its strongest. Many preparations are in order."

Hearing that, I reflexively spoke.

"E-Excuse me! Is there anything I could help with!?"

Surely, these girls must have plenty of hopes and fears. Thinking that, I could not stand by idly.

"Fufu... I see—"

Haruka-san was taken aback slightly in surprise. With her hand against the corner of her mouth, she began to ponder.

"If Mitsuki-san is helping out, I shall go as well."

"...Me too."

Immediately, Firill-san and Lisa-san also raised their hands.

"Everyone..."

I looked at them and they smiled at me.

"Then please assist the members of the student council. Follow me."

"Yes!"

Answering Haruka-san, we left the classroom to welcome our new peers.



The sky grew darker and the wind became progressively stronger.

Wearing a raincoat, I was waiting at the Academy's entrance together with the student council members.

To ensure the ship could reach the pier safely, Haruka-san and the elite members of the Dragon Subjugation Squad had gone off to deploy a gigantic barrier of wind.

Lisa-san and Firill-san were at the pier while I was the Academy's entrance, standing by as emergency rescuers.

I was holding towels in my arms under my raincoat so that the new arrivals could dry themselves. At the same time, I felt terror at the power of Ds, capable of resisting a storm.

At the same time, I came to a realization. Unless I joined the Dragon Subjugation Squad, I could not assist Haruka-san in any real sense.

Finally able to stabilize my fictional armament recently, I still had far to go.

—I must become stronger.

While pelted by fierce raindrops flying sideways, I thought to myself. Then I caught sight of yellow raincoats, a blur in the distance.

"They have arrived!"

I informed the student council members and waved to the new arrivals across the rain.

"Over here—!"

The girls ran over to us.

"Pwah!"

Finally reaching the entrance, the first girl forcefully took off her hood and began to wipe her face, drenched from rain.

"Are you alright!?"

I hurried to approach her and extended a towel.

"—Compared to me, the others had it worse. They were very seasick."

"But you will catch a cold at this rate."

She seemed hesitant and I pushed the towel towards her. Our hands touched lightly.

Due to getting drenched in the rain, her hand was exceptionally cold.

She looked a bit troubled, but accepted the towel when other emergency rescuers ran over to the other girls.

"—Thank you. My name is Shinomiya Miyako."

After wiping her face with the towel, she thanked me.

"..."

Rather than the fact that she shared the same family name as Haruka-san, it was her facial expression that made me gasp.

A smiling face of such dazzling beauty—

"What is your name?"

Reminded by her, I came to my senses.

"Oh, I am called... M-Mononobe Mitsuki."

I felt intimidated by her presence despite the fact that she was a newcomer and similar to me in age.

"What a nice name. Pleased to meet you, Mitsuki."

Saying that, she extended her hand to me.

"Yes—P-Pleased to meet you too."

I shook her hand stiffly and greeted.

Her skin felt cold to the touch.

However, gripping my hand in return, her hand was very strong.
