7. Is your backside safe? (12)

#14 Their story: Karen rel Regrenas story.

Im gonna kill him, Im gonna kill him. This time Im definitely gonna kill him.

There were things you should do as a person, and things you shouldnt.

And Risen always, kept on doing the things you shouldnt.

Despite this, as an old friend of his I always left it at the line of leaving him alive.

But this time, even if he overstepped the line, he took it much too far.

Escape? Escape alone? And moreover, hed been eating the food supplies alone to bolster his own strength?

When Professor Nicerwin came and told us of Risens escape stories, for a moment, no one could say anything.

Because none of us had even thought of the possibility that our camaraderie was so shallow to betray each other like that.

And that trust was shattered.

Even if this years academy had turned into a place where no one could trust anyone, where yesterdays ally could be todays enemy, and yesterdays enemy could be todays ally.

To think hed betray us even in this situation.

Because of that, our total food supplies decreased by one.

Even if that difference was irrelevant due to the disappearance of one who always ate a lunchbox by himself unbeknown to the rest of us.

Even so, that doesnt erase this feeling of betrayal.

After everyone finished their breakfast of anger, we all hardened our resolves.

There was no way someone with the right to come to school would wag school to end up here again.

And so of course he would take classes, and of course there would be a war to go homel.

That was our opportunity.

We were feeling slightly apologetic to the other students, because no one would deny that Risen was a highly important piece in our strategies.

But, to quell our anger, it demanded Risens blood.

Its time!

Eighth floor, everyone to the eighth floor now!

Faster than Risen! If anyone finds him then hold tight onto him, dont anyone dare let him get away!

Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him.

Everyone was energetic.

Risen would know fully well of our state right now so hed most certainly run for his life.

No, he might instead use some cheap trick to dig another trap for us.

But contrary to my expectations, Risen was sitting at his seat in the classroom, in a perfectly normal way.

Huh, vice-pres?

Just who the hell was that boy waving his hand cheerfully at me from his seat?

Did he forget that he betrayed us yesterday?

Or was our shock so big that we didnt realise how many months had passed by?

Right? That had to be it, right? Otherwise him approaching with a smile as if nothing was wrong would be weird, right?

Mm, Risen.

Iyahh, thank goodness the first person I met was vice-pres.

As he came to me with an actually glad expression I didnt even think of bringing out my summon.

Because I was too shocked? Or lost for words?

No.

My summon is a drake, said to be a descendant of dragons.

If he smashed Risen with his forelegs, Risen will die.

Of course Risen dying isnt what Im worried about.

Risens going to die anyway.

But, killing him in one hit is much too peaceful, no?

And besides, rather than my drake, I want to kill him with my own two hands.

But since I should at least hear out his last words, I will talk with him.

As he came up to right in front of me he smiled and said.

Sniff sniff. Yep, you smell like I thought.

The words that would hasten his death.

Mm. yep, now then. Die.

Flashing a smile of my own that wouldnt lose to Risens, I raised a hand.

I never formally learned how to fight barehanded, but at this moment, I could throw a stronger punch than anyone.

Like I sent my mana to my summon, I imbued magic power into my fists.

Although concentrating mana into a single part of my body was quite hard, perhaps due to be powerful desire to beat the crap out of Risen, just as my two fists began to blaze with the blue light of mana.

And so, tada?

And so what, exactly?

He took something out of his dimensional pouch.

And that something was unfamiliar, yet at the same time very familiar to me.

Well of course.

It was something I used to see every day, but hadnt seen since I lost the right to go to school.

Ahhh

Is the devils disciple also a devil.

Right now, Risen was pouring out the sweet honeyed words that not even Professor Nicerwin could beat.

And what if in addition to the cake this was added on top?

Ahhhh!

And what he skilfully pulled out from his pouch was a packet of tea leaves from the greatest tea company in the empire, one where in our family, we would only serve to very esteemed guests.

Now if you put that cake together with this tea

I cant win.

As a woman, no, anyone who liked desserts, this was the devils combination that no one could defeat.

As my anger cooled and the seed that the devils whispers planted in its place spread quickly, dying my entire heart in its colours.

I want to give this to someone, you see, but her fists are just too scary.

M, hmm?

And as if to worm its way through the gap in my heart, Risens grumbling voice accompanied his hand which enveloped my own, that had unconsciously risen up.

Ri, Risen? You know

Really, I honestly had all of you in mind when I ran away with my life on the line. To fetch clothes for all of you, food to feed you with, I didnt even sleep at the crack of dawn, encountered the silver devil and ran away risking my life, I dont think you guys understand me.

What he said as he cut me off could be heard as nothing but lies no matter who was listening.

I wanted to yell at him to cut the bullshit, but my mouth was saying something else entirely.

Re, really?

Why was I doing this?

Why was my heart that had been consumed by bloodlust only seconds ago, now filled with a different type of greed?

Mm, even now I want to hand these over to vice-pres.

I wanted to yell at him to hand over the goods right this instant, but my mouth refused to move.

Vice-pres is on my side, right?

M, mm. y, yes. Were both vice-presidents, arent we?

In his gently wiggling hands, I also saw the cake wiggling from side to side in time with his movements.

Yes, I was believing in vice-pres, and vice-pres was also believing in me too? Im so happy.

Yeah, who else would believe in you if not me?

Although the majority of the time I believe in him with very bad implications, there was no reason for me to say that now, was there?

Really, theres no one else for me but the vice-pres, right?

Its getting closer. My clothes and cake are getting closer.

One step, and another.

And just as Risen came close enough that I could touch them if I reached my hand out, he stopped as if realising something and said wide-eyed,

Ah, thats right!

What!

An irritated noise instinctively burst out from my mouth.

Ah, are you angry, right now? Scary.

I wanted to kill Risen who was acting scared and taking a step back so badly right now, but it couldnt be helped.

Theres, theres no reason for me to be mad at you, right? Ive just been locked up for way too long in the academy.

I pushed down on my anger, and said to Risen with a smile.

Risen? Why are you so far away between us?

Mm? Because Karens too scary.

With an expression that did not look at all scared, using my name that he almost never normally used, I faced him while forcing down my anger.

No, Im not scary.

Youre not going to hit me?

Of course.

Youre not going to say that youre not going to hit me but kill me instead or something like that, right?

Nah, theres no way Id do something like that to my beloved Risen, right?

Really?

With a satisfied smile Risen came and handed over the goods in his hands.

Ah, and I also brought over some of the toiletries and towels that you had in your room. Ah, and these looked like makeup, so I brought a few of them as well. They are makeup, right?

Sob youre right

The familiar yet unnoticed, but the items I had missed the most when I had to live without them appeared one after another in front of my eyes.

Sob I love you, Risen.

The anger that had piled and piled within me melted down in an instant.

And so despite myself, I pulled Risen into an embrace and said so

Clack.

Uh um sorry for interfering.

At that moment the classroom door opened and another member of the student council saw the two of us, said that and quickly closed the door again.

Interfering? With what?

And as if to answer my question, the voice of the person who just shut the door echoed throughout the corridor.

Vice-president Karen just confessed to vice-president Riseeeeeennn!

Eh?
