"Alright, now we will be having the special Student Council and Chancellor's Board meeting."

In a high position, a boy's voice was brought to life, atop a wooden bridge under an slightly past noon sky.

On the frontal bridge of Musashi Ariadust Academy in the Center Trailing Ship - Okutama and atop the stairs which descended towards the front door, many uniformed figures could be seen.

Toori was at the center and his companions were Kimi and Tenzou and also Shirojiro and Heidi. The boy who just talked was Neshinbara, and he was tapping the Torii-design keyboard that was being displayed into the air.

"The meeting topic for today is: 'Let's make Aoi-kun's confession succeed!" This is brought to you with my sponsorship, the secretary Neshinbara. Everyone, you can just slam him with whatever you have, got it? Then, Aoi-kun, it's all your hands."

"Mmm, if we suddenly just think about the ratings, it'd be more interesting if I end getting rejected, right?"

"The interested party himself says that from the beginning!?"

'Aah?' Toori glanced around at everybody.

"The hell is this, all of you!? Can't I be rejected!? I get it. That's a repression of results-oriented behaviour isn't it!? Faced with that kind of society who doesn't acknowledge a guy who's down on his luck, I want to firmly object! Is that alright? ...You don't think that anybody can get married, alright!? You too! And you too!!"

Everybody held down Toori, who had started pointing at people who was returning at home as a result of his rampage, and stopped him. Sanyou, who had been pointed at approximately the fifth time had run away while crying, but everyone was unable to follow-up until that point.

Anyways, Toori, who had been made to sit, took a breath and looked at Tenzou, sitting next to him wearing a ninja cap.

"Hey Tenzou, going in a basic level, how does someone confess? If we get to numbers, you're pretty used to it right?"

"Ri-right now, I have been rejected a lot, you know!? That's the truth, you know!?"

"It's fine, just answer the question."

'Mmm', Tenzou folded his arms and nodded. Afterward, he raised his right index finger.

"The admirable method is to be completely honest with a sudden confesion. No matter who, all the people have something called preparation of the heart. Because Toori-dono, if during the morning a girl you do not know is standing in front of your house and just says to you `I love you,´ ...wouldn't that be amazing? ...So you do not need it! Preparation of the heart, that's something you do not need!"

"True. However, if that girl was Tenzou, I'd be pretty disgusted. After you stand in front of my house nervously hoping just for the sake of confessing to me, I'd without a doubt would run away before your sanity level drops."

"You're horrible!!"

"...Hey, the secretary here thinks that the two of you have take this seriously!"

At the voice of Neshinbara, who continued to tap his keyboard to write the meeting log, both folded their arms.

After a while, Tenzou raised his right index finger once again.

"...For starters, how about the 'letter operation'?"

Tenzou took out a pen and notepad from his chest.

'What?' being the destination of everyone's gazes, Tenzou passed the pen and notepad to Toori's hands.

"Don't you think that this would be alright? During a confession, people always get flustered. For example, you thought you were saying 'I love you,' but you enter in panic and what you really let out is 'I love your man!', or you seriously stutter and what bursts out is 'I w-wuvee you!', or if you force yourself to do it cheerfully 'Watashiii loooveess kimiiiii yoou knowwww---!? So at the end, you end failing your honest confession by saying some nonsense like that."

"You really have a lot of experience. This is reassuring, but be a little more tolerant, you're a ninja after all."

"Lectured! I am really being lectured right now!"

"Don't worry about it, Tenzou. Or rather, what does this notepad and pen have to do with your happy failure stories?"

Tenzou cracked his finger.

"It is simple. Itemize everything you want to tell her in advance. Then, give a her a letter rather than telling her outright."

Tenzou nodded.

"If you do it this way, there is no problem even if you get flustered because if you are embarassed, you can return to home just like that. Furthermore, even if this ends with the other party not responding immediately, this is really reassuring as even a response by letter would be good."

"Hey, hey, are the failure stories of getting rejected by that method going to start? We have a good atmosphere right now!"

"I-I am sorry! The atmosphere has become awkward!"

However, Toori looked at the memopad, and he said 'But, y'know' to Tenzou and he repeated it again.

"In short, I just gotta write down why I fell for her in this?"

"Well, officially in a piece of paper, but it should be fine to summarize what you think up here."

"Mmmmm... Don't really want to do it. Y'know why? This kind of workings of the emotions of love and hate, it can't really be put into words well, can it?"

The one who responded to those words was not Tenzou, but Kimi, who was enclosing her body up against the railing of the bridge. While her hair fluttered in the wind, she looked at Toori.

"Fufufu, foolish brother, there's no good way to put emotions or things like love or hate into words? What a cute line. If that's so, try to write down what you dislike about that eroge-ninja as a test."

"No Sis, there's no way I could put well into words stuff like what I dislike about my friend, can I?"

● How I think about if he is really human, hiding his face all the time, is something that I can't put it into words very well.

● How I wonder whether using 'de gozaru' as a sentence ending is meant to be a gag, is something that I can't put it into words very well.

● How I really wish he'd do something about the fact that sometimes the smell of a dog comes from his clothes, is something that I can't put it into words very well.

"Like I thought, the bad areas of my friend it's something that I can't really put into words."

"Yo-you just wrote it down without any trouble! You did! And in bullet points!"

"Hmm? That's weird. I can't write anything about your good areas though. Sigh..."

"The hell is that 'Sigh...'! This guy is the worst!!"

Tenzou grabbed Toori's collar and shook him, but Toori continued smirking. Kimi retired her body from the railing and stood behind Toori.

"Fufufu, foolish brother, putting that aside, haven't we been able to practice with a good stepping stone? If that's so, now try writing down the good areas of the lady inside your heart."

"Eeh? Again, Sis is making me do a really difficult thing. Tenzou's unpleasant areas are so obvious, so apparent that I can do it easily, but she is... That's right, she is in my heart, you know!? My heart! Do you think that the workings of my pure soul can be easily put into words well!?"

● How her face is totally my type, is something that I can't put into words very well.

● How I can see her panties through her apron when she squats, is something I can't put into words very well.

● How I can't describe the amazing curve going from her waist to her but, is something that I can't put into words very well.

"Mmm, like I thought, my pure soul is something that I can't put into words very well."

"...You are spouting it like if it is nothing, though!"

"Don't be so noisy, Tenzou. If I were to seriously do it, it wouldn't end with just with this...!"

"Wait, wait...! That bulleted list is missing something of dire importance for Toori."

The person who said those words was a massive figure seated two steps down, the half-dragon Urquiaga.

Bending his arms, which were also frontal wings, he rubbed his chin with the small hand within it.

"As far as I can see... there is some mystery here given Toori's usual tastes."

"Eh? There's something missing from Toori-kun's usual tastes?"

Urquiaga nodded at Heide, as she was the one who asked that.

"...You are a citizen of the boob camp, yet you've failed to mention the boobs of said person."

With Urquiaga's words, everyone drew a breath of surprise and looked at Toori.

In the surroundings, even the students going home from school slightly stopped the movements of their bodies in response to the words said just now.

"Have I, by any chance become the authority in that?"

While speaking, Toori nodded with a serious face. And when he slowly sucked a breath, his expression stilled and he began to run his pen down the paper.

"That's it. In short...If I do not try to / Fondle those breasts which she holds / I won't know."

"Don't just read the first line of a poem so indifferently!!"

At everyone's tsukkomi, Toori frowned and folded his arms.

"What should I do for the word about the seasons?"

"Fufufu, foolish brother, I just shuddered from the beauty in your simplicity just now. However..."

Kimi sat next to Toori and she rested her chin on her folded arms.

"What's the real reason for you not bringing up the boob topic at this teenagers' discussion about your target charms?"

"Sis, right now I'm just like that song about yearning for boobs which I wrote. I haven't fondled them so I don't know."

"Fufufu, in short ...When it comes to boobs, you can't really judge them? Such honesty!"

The answering little brother raised the hand that his sister was holding.

"Even if I look like this, I'm really serious about it! I won't just say anything I want!"

"...We really don't care about how weird the workings in this siblings heads are, but the boob talking in the last minutes has unmistakeably went over the yearly usage limit."

"Fufufu, please shut up, you loser ninja. Foolish brother, even if it's just like your song, are we not dealing with something that can be roughly measured just by looking at it? The looks of someone like Asama's are more or less the same."

The same instant Kimi spoke, behind them a window on the third floor of the school building opened. It was the window of a classroom that was being used for the activities of the tea ceremony club.

"Hey! Don't just do body trivia of other people as you feel! Stuff like it's around the same, or the looks are around the same!"

"She is right! Asama's ones aren't as they look! Within the sphere they are a little..."

"Uwa, saying that like a sommelier is the worst...! Wait.. don't move from there!! My bow! MY BOW!!"

"Hey, hey, has the tea ceremony club recently started to perform archery?"

Faced with Toori, who had taken out a writing implement and had began to write '100 points' on the top part of the Tenzou's ninja cap, who was sitting next to him, his sister tilted her neck.

"Anyways idiot brother, let's keep this serious talking to the point and let's continue with you... As the goods and bads of her boobs cannot be judged by visual information, what are you going to do if you don't understand from a sommelier point of view that 'this wouldn't have done' after you started going out with her? You have to test it once, don't you?"

"Test? Test what?"

"...You should ask someone with a similar boobs to let you grope hers, it's obvious that she'd let you fondle them, isn't it?"

Simultaneous with Kimi's words, atop the bridge and even the schoolyard below it, people evacuated from within a thirty-meter radius. First the girls, then boys also hid their chests and briskly walked away like penguins.

Atop the bridge which had become silent, Toori looked at her sister.

"Sis, you're amazing! You're so smart but aren't you also an idiot!?"

"Fufu, foolish brother, what a genius thinks about cannot be understood by anyone but the genius herself. Loneliness is wonderful! Then, how do you think that her boobs feel? You have three selections ranging from HARD/NORMAL/EASY... Or is it HELL!?"

"Mmm, I can't say it so simply because I think she is rather advanced but... something like HARD, I believe."

"You are saying it unreasonably simply, you know!"

"Fufu, more or less hard, huh.　In other words, thin..."

Kimi looked around the area, focusing on the few people on the stairs.

"I see, Adele, Suzu or Sanyou-sensei maybe?"

"Sis! Sis! Having a teacher also included in your list of names, you do not discrminate right!?"

"Fufufu, idiot brother, your sister is not who chooses the measures. I don't choose the goal either, though. For now, just think about the groping! Only the fondling! Well, other than that, it's that or..."

"...? What are you doing sitting here?"

As if interrupting Kimi's words, a voice sounded from the school building.

Turning around, from the entrance of the school building, two figures were coming.

"Principal Sakai..."

At everyone's voice, Sakai raised his hand with a 'Yo'. The other person, walking besides Sakai, was a girl shouldering an enormous leather bag across her left and right shoulders. A girl who had at the top of her rather tall body a large silver fringe and sharp golden eyes. The name of this girl, who was shaking the large bundles of the hair at her back rolled into circles, was said by Kimi.

"Mitotsudaira. Are you descending to Mikawa with Principal Sakai?"

●

At that question, Mitotsudaira shook her head with a small motion and narrowed her sharp eyes.

"There is no way that I, a knight charged with a Matsudaira branch family, would go to Mikawa when are creating gifts for P.A. ODA, don't you think? Is just that, given my authority as a branch family member, I can give to Principal Sakai the certified document to descend there."

Toori turned his smile to Sakai.

"Principal, are you even go to Mikawa's center in Nagoya? You sure got a hell of a permission."

"It's because a comrade from long ago called me out... It's been ten years and he probably changed a lot, so I will probably come back soon after I get to drink with him. There are a lot of rumours about Mikawa today given its closure policy, so if I stay there for long the Testament Union will watch me, you know?"

When Sakai ended that line, Shirojiro raised his hand.

"Principal Sakai, we're the ones paying for your trip, so could you take a look at the monetary flow for me? ...I'm talking about Mikawa during this last year. For some reason all of what they are doing is selling without buying many exports from us. An even larger amount of sales came when we entered the port so currently we are in an arrangement where the importers are squabbling over the warehouses."

"Earlier, that lord professor was talking about some 'fireworks' though. I wonder if this has something to do with that."

Shirojiro and everyone tilted their heads and murmured.

In response, without going more deeper, Sakai said.

"Well, I'll be careful... Toori there is some kind of rumour about you are going to confess to someone... Who is the person that is going to get reached by that kinda dangerous behaviour...?

"It's Horizon."

At the line he said, everyone fell silent and Sakai looked up at the sky. After a while, he said.

"...Her? So you actually think so too?"

"It's right for you too say so Principal? Last year when yout went to see her after being consulted by Asama and Neshinbara, you avoided to give any comments about it right? It's your way to not talk about the important stuff."

"Yeah, that's true..."

Sakai continued.

"But there is a chance that she's just somebody else that happens to resemble her. Actually, that's the most probable outcome, right?"

"I know. That's why I've watched her for a whole year, just like a stalker. That way if it happened that I was just chasing after her looks, I'd be just a stalker in the wrong. So well, when I watched her for a year..."

"Not wrong, that's what an official stalker is, isn't it? ...But well, what happened when you watched her for a year?"

Facing him, Toori spoke. He was still smiling.

"The facial features and body are different from what they were ten years ago, so it's another person. I thought that if I was just chasing the past that would have bothered me, but after watching her for a whole year I understood that the past didn't mattered, I was just so captivated by that side of her that tried her best at what she did. At first, the only thought I had was this.

He breathed.

"If she really is Horizon, I have no right to get close to her. ...But, step by step, I considered that if she is really here, then it is just fine. Eventually, I ended thinking that I wanted to talk to her, I wanted to try to touch her. That's why I believe now... Even if she is not Horizon..."

"Even if she isn't?"

"I may be damn incapable, but I hope she'll stay by my side."

"I see", Sakai said. Sighing and spitting out the smoke from his tabacco, he said it again.

"When did you decided that?"

"This morning... It got in my head when I was thinking how Horizon died around this time ten years ago, it just seemed natural for me. I'd hate she being around just to be here. So I decided to confess how I feel. It'll probably end as a one-sided confession, but..."

"But?"

"Tomorrow will have been ten years. That is the time limit, I won't think about Horizon as someone to run from anymore."

He nodded.

"...She doesn't know who she is, right? Therefore, the confession will go well, and if she wishes for it I was thinking that we'd find out about it together. A lot of things will probably happen because of that, but because I won't treat Horizon as someone to run from anymore... It'll be alright."

"I see" Sakai dropped his gaze with an expression which could be said to be a wry smile. He stroked that chin with the hand that was in his pockets.

"These last ten years were quick, weren't they. That accident was just after I came here."

Kimi nodded and then she sighed.

"But, you're stupid, foolish brother. You should write what you said just now on the letter. It's a bit long, so I think that it'd be better if you made it simpler though. A-l-s-o..."

"Also?"

Kimi nodded again.

"There's still one problem which hasn't been resolved ...Whether you can take hard or not."

"Hard?"

Frowning was Mitotsudaira, listening to the conversation from beside Sakai.

Aside from shallowly folding her arms, Mitotsudaira was tilting her head looking at Kimi through narrowed eyes.

"Is there some sort of problem which the Chancellor has? Well, he is certainly someone who always have some problem, but what is it this time?"

"Eh, I'll say it so it's easy to understand."

Kimi said this.

"Mitotsudaira... You are a prefect match for resolving a problem plaguing Toori."

●

At Kimi's words, Mitotsudaira lightly tilted her head.

"What is going on?' she thought, and inside her heart...

...She felt something strange.

Nodding within her heart, she looked back and forth between the sitting Toori and Kimi.

"Truthfully, I do not really understand, but that talk about a problem and a perfect match is an exaggeration, right?"

"An exaggeration? That's stupid, Mitotsudaira... For my foolish brother, this is the most important event of his whole lifetime, you know? In any case, it's a serious matter pertaining to his proposal tomorrow."

At the words she was told, Mitotsudaira moved her eyebrows.

"A matter concerning the Chancellor's confession tomorrow?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Kimi nodded at in response to the question, Mitotsudaira touched her hand to a single cheek.

...Confession.

I understand very well the importance that kind of event hold for them. Even in light novels, manga, theatre or TV dramas, this is a subject that always comes up.

"...Well, I suppose that it might be something beneath a knight of the Mitotsudaira family, branch of the Matsudaira family."

Being say that, Mitotsudaira felt that a slight crack surged within her heart.

...Indeed, I am a knight who was sent here for the sake of receiving the provisional inheritance of the name Mito Matsudaira.

"As a member of my family presented from Hexagone Française to the Far East, it is true that things like marriage are decided by my country, my parents and the Testament's recreation of history, so I have no connection with the practices of commoners such as free confessions of romance."

But Mitotsudaira replied.

"But eventually I will become a normal person bearing the Far East... It's not like I don't know the ways of the commoners."

"If that's so..."

Mitotsudaira tapped her own chest lightly with the palm of her right hand and sticked it out.

"You will never find a knight unwilling to help a commoner. To be able to resolve this problem, no matter what it may be, I, Nate Mitotsudaira will give my all. Then, Chancellor, what is your wish?"

Having asked, Toori turned her way. However, while standing up, he folded his arms and tilted his head.

"Mmm... It's a little hard to say though?"

"You are not someone very clear, you know... I will lend you my strength, so be bold."

"No, if I say it clearly, you'll get mad. If I say it boldly... I'll be killed."

Mitotsudaira tilted her head forwards and looked around the area. Each person who was there at the stairs, with the exception of Kimi, nodded at the words which had just been spoken.

...This is...

"I have a bad feeling about this," Mitotsudaira thought inside her head. In any case, they being to something not good is very frequent. The day before, when I was meeting with some high-classed guest, business partner of the Mitotsudaira family, in a lunch at a restaurant in Tama, Toori, Kimi and the others appeared like an horrible avalanche.

Even though I tried to kick them out, the guest tried to be well-mannered and all my efforts were rendered nill. But sitting with everyone they did not know was nothing. Toori, knowing he had gourmet tastes, ordered some bear and started an argument.

"Geezer! Geezer! Is true that you are saying that any kind of food is delicious!?"

"Ha, hahahaha, no matter what kind of food it is, finding the good points and enjoying is common sense."

"Hah!? You serious!? Then, cook! This gourmet said he can eat dog! He is really brave!"

...The specialty cook who was at their side, face pale, raised his empty teacup and chopsticks with his two hands, but what did that mean?

Anyways, at the end, a completely naked gourmet was running home while crying, and I had lost one client. ...Thinking about it again, it was a huge hindrance to business...!

At that time, I had gotten rather angry, but this time I was receiving a warning.

Therefore, it cannot be that bad.

"Jud. ...Then, just for being sure, let me verify it first. What could you possibly wish from me?"

"Well, that's..."

Toori, standing right in front of me, averted his gaze slightly and scratched his head. Then, he...

"Just a little practice, or rather, I want you to be my rehearsal partner."

At those words, Sakai, who next to me crooked his neck.

"A rehearsal? In short, that's a practice of your confession, isn't it? Again, that's..."

'Stupid', I was glanced at by Sakai, who had said that, out of the corner of his eye. It seemed as if he wanted to say, 'I wonder if you can.'

Mitotsudaira thought that if that is the case...

...Th-there is not really anything stupid about it, right?

A confession, she is interested in that. Therefore, she cleared her throat, and shrugged her shoulders exaggeratedly.

"So, chancellor? ...You are using me as a substitute for the person you are confessing to, true?"

Mitotsudaira touched her her waist with her hand stared into his face.

"...Indeed, so it's like that. If I think about it going with my pride as a woman, it's true that I can get mad with that. This is something like 'You have no worth compared to the person I will confess, but you look like her so I will use you' after all."

"Mmm, I don't know whether you don't have any worth or not, I just decided it on sight."

"Jud., very well, I do not really understand, but I am indebted to you..."

Mitotsudaira nodded. Forcing power into her eyebrows, she stuck her chest out.

"I am fine with it. I, Nate Mitotsudaira, for the sake of being your rehearsal..."

Mitotusudaira thought about what she should say in this situation.

...For the sake of being your rehearsal...?

Certainly, if we got with what trendy lately, in a situation like this where you accept a higher-rank or lower-rank's wish to be practice for them, there should be some sort of expression. Therefore, Mitotsudaira lightly tapped her chest with the fingers of her hand, and said it.

"Eh, I... will lend you this chest."

The instant she said it, Mitotsudaira was bathed in everyone's sudden reactions.

'Eeh!?', pressured by the voices of shock coming from all directions, Mitotsudaira wondered.

Sweeping the area with her gaze, not only Toori, Kimi and everyone on the stairs, but everybody who was for some reason peeking this way from a place around thirty meters radius turned heir voices and gazes to her.

I do not understand why, but I could feel a hint of admiration in everyone's murmurs of surprise.

...I-is it really something to make so much noise about?

Slightly unsettled, as if confirming, towards the murmuring Toori and company-

"U-um, just because I said that I would lend this chest for the sake of the rehearsal of Chancellor's confession..."

Having said that, once again, everyone started murmuring. Other than them wondering if she was serious...

"She said it twice! She said it twice, you know!"

"Wow, as expected, a knight's dedication is amazing..."

"Certainly, in terms of position and in terms of durability, a human shield...!"

I did not comprehend the last one, but anyways, I was able to understand that this was something earthshaking.

...We-well, everyone also seems to be hoping in me.

If I refuse to cooperate at this stage, I will lose everyone's support. I am atop the small Musashi, as a knight who takes charge of numerous villages as her territory, I wish to avoid that kind of development.

Beside me, Sakai, who like me does not understand the meaning of what is going on, was processing the reaction of the area.

"Well, do your best... I'll be going to Mikawa now."

Everyone said farewell or bowed, and Sakai left. When he was descending the stairs, he said.

"I'll be meeting up with Masazumi, there something you want to say?"

"I'll be making some noise here at eight o'clock, could you ask whether or not he can come?"

'Jud., Jud.' Sakai raised his hand lightly, and forming a smile at the edge of his mouth, he descended.

Mitotsudaira saw that in front of her, Toori was looking her way with a serious face...

"Alright then, Nate, let's do it... I'll do it tightly, alright? Afterward, don't hit me, alright?"

Responding to that question, Mitotsudaira calmed her breathing. Calming herself by doing that, through pulling aside her fringe, she corrected her posture.

"It's true that to knights are allowed the possession of weapons, but that is just for the sake of protecting the people. On my pride of one of werewolf-lineage, I will not do something like that... There is really some sort of dangerous prerequisite to the rehearsal of a confession?"

"Then, I won't hold back."

Along with his words, Mitotsudaira had a sensation on her chest.

...Eh?

Looking, two sets of Toori's five fingers were shallowly buried in the chest of her uniform.

●

Without being able to understand her own state, Mitotsudaira sucked in a shallow breath once-

"...U-um."

"Wait, Nate, please be quiet. Right now, I'm in the midst of confirmation."

Rather than what she was being told, perplexed by the current advancing situation, Mitotsudaira lost her words.

...Um, this is--...

As she was thinking, she realized that heat was steadily building up in her face. Thinking about what that was all about, she remained not giving an answer-

"Wonder how it is."

Toori brought his body low. Bringing his head with brown hair to her chest-

"Mm."

His ear was pressed against her chest. What she could be faintly smelled was the fragrance of his hair; Mitotsudaira noticed that he used the same shampoo as his sister, her unconscious was shouting to notice something more important.

...Bu-but, um, this situation is...

Now, an ear is being pressed against my chest, and it's being groped. That is the reality. The words 'rehearsal for a confession' and what is happening right before my eyes do not connect. What is this. If I were to speak in French, then 'Quoi?'.

Could it be that there was a mistake in my reactions up till now?

I do not know. What should I do? Now, the best reaction my unconscious is shouting is to slaughter the idiot before my eyes with my two hands, but as expected, a noontime killing is risky. If I am to do it, it should be at night.

However, if other than that, at this kind of time, what should I do?

...U-um...

In that state, seconds passed by; as everyone was speechless, silence continued-

"...I see."

Toori took his hands and ears off my chest.

As if matching that movement, everyone leaned forward and focused their eyes upon Toori.

"...How was it, Tori-dono!?"

'Yeah', Toori, who nodded, stuck his thumb up for all to see-

"She wasn't wearing a bra."

'Ooh', everyone muttered, but is there not a limit to the exposure of personal information?

However, Toori moved. Returning a nod to everyone, he looked this way with a refreshing smile-

"Thanks a lot, Mitotsudaira! Thanks to you, I've completed one of my self-searches!"

Sticking up his right thumb-

"I--am all right!"

"You are not all right at all, you idioooottt--!!"

Releasing the spell seal on her body along with her cry, Mitotsudaira hammered Toori against the railing with a single right backhand.

The railing was unable to completely take Toori's body, spinning and flying away.

"--!"

Along with a cracking sound, the railing twisted and broke, and with the excess energy, Toori's body flew towards the school courtyard along with the foundation. "Waaah', towards the direction of everyone in the schoolyard, who was running, Mitotsudaira turned her gaze and sighed.

"You really were an idiot from the beginning! Think yourself lucky you were not wearing personal equipment! Really..."

Lightly wiping away the tears hovering at the corners of her eyes with a finger, she straightened her eyebrows-

"--Tomorrow, it would be nice if you were rejected!!"
