Chapter 91 - Blinding Lunch Break (4)

I took the packed lunch box that I completely finished and went up the stairs.

Kusaka followed quickly from behind, his rhythmic footsteps echoing around me.

“I always think it, but Aniki eats really fast huh.”

“Ahh”

Not really, it’s not that I eat particularly fast, it’s only because you’re here.

Someone keeps talking about topics I don’t like next to me when I was enjoying Shouhei’s delicious handmade bento, so I just want to quickly finish and go back to sleep at my desk.

“Anyways, continuing from what I mentioned earlier. Which high school’s delinquents do you want to start from?”

“Look…”

What is with this convenient misunderstanding?

In Kusaka’s mind, I was like “A solitary, taciturn, executioner who secretly punishes unscrupulous villains”.

Like a dark hero.

“It’s feeling ridiculous to correct you every single time, but I’ll say it again. I don’t like fighting, and I will never start a fight. I’m a gentle person who wants to spend everyday peacefully.”

Even if I couldn’t do that.

Of course, I understand that my current circumstances are not normal and I have a lot of regrets, but I’m satisfied.

Even in the past fights, I have suffered the consequences.

Therefore, when I moved to this town, I swore to myself to not fight if possible.

“Yes! I understand! It’s exactly as you say!”

“Are you actually make fun of me?”

He definitely doesn’t understand, I could tell from his glittering eyes.

I climbed the stairs and arrived on the third floor, the topmost floor, of the main building, where the second-year classroom was.

Lunch break was only around halfway through, so there were still many students in the corridor talk to each other and having fun together.

I held my bento underneath my armpit, put both hands in my pockets, and walked down the corridor.

“… We’re being looked at, huh.”

When they see me, the student’s expressions changes.

Some had frightened and some had odd gazes.

They had various intentions, but most students we passed by were looking at me and Kusaka.

“Aniki stands out.”

“You…”

A tall man with evil-looking eyes, and a shortie with a blonde pompadour wearing a modified school uniform.

The very picture of a bizarre combination.

Of course it will attract a lot of attention.

“By the way, please meet my sister some time. She’s timid and withdrawn, but she said herself that she would like to thank you for that day. She was also taken care of by your younger brother.”

“Shouhei?”

Ah, that’s right.

At the bazaar, did I initially leave the crying girl to Shouhei?

“Aside from that, it’s not something to say thank you for. The fact is that I was the one who was pinned down by the cops who came after.”

I was thought to be a violent criminal that until a lot of eyewitnesses revealed what happened.

I was about to be taken to the station. It was close.

“Still, the fact is you helped.”

“Well, if you like, I’ll let my brother know.”

I gently waved my hand to end the topic.

Speaking of which, Shouhei’s Elementary School should have only had morning classes today.

If he went straight home, it should be around the time he gets back.

As for what happened that day, it was something that I don’t want to remember.

It was the beginning of the dark middle school days. If that didn’t happen, then I would have made one or two good friends.

Surely.

We arrived at our classroom.

When I opened the door and entered the room, the inside of the classroom quieted down for an instant, and the gazes, mainly from the girls, were concentrated on us.

Yes, yes, I have returned.

The other half is desperate.

This is something I learned from my experience so far, but if the girls hate me, then that year is hopeless.

It’s not like I didn’t do anything. There were times when I tried to make friends.

It was still when I was nervous in the beginning, after a short while, guys in good shape and ones with monstrous communication skills came to talk.

I was pleased and got caught up in the moment, but then because of the girl’s warnings and they were afraid of being avoided, so they distanced themselves away from me at the speed of light.

It is also bad that there is no common topic because of gender differences.

I can’t have any conversation that girls seem to like.

So I couldn’t even make excuses, and my impression got worse.

The topic was spread at an astonishing speed, and like broken telephone, the message was gradually changed and transmitted.

Wrongdoings that were unrelated to me and incidents I don’t remember were created one after another.

In addition, the boys added their characteristic exaggerations, and my name grew like a substance-less monster.

It’s already hopeless, I couldn’t do anything by myself.

In this town as well, it has already fallen into that pattern.

Infinite combo. I didn’t even have time to defend myself, and I can only continue to receive the heavy blow from the bad reputation.

In short, it has been decided that my two years at this high school have already ended.

Amen.

I put the bento on the desk and pulled out the chair.

The classroom gradually recovered and regained its original liveliness.

“Aniki, are you thirsty?”

“I don’t need it. I’ll buy it myself if I need it.”

“I’ll go buy it at any time, so tell me without reserve!”

Let’s talk, Kusaka-kun! There hasn’t even been a time where my words could even properly reach you!

I sat at my seat and stared blankly out the window.

Since the seat is at the end of the corridor, the scenery is not very good.

You can see the tiny Tusk Crag outside the window facing the sports ground.

A huge inverted triangle-shaped crag, that was estimated to be 100 meters with a dungeon inside.

It’s a landmark of this country town that was popularly called “Tusk Crag” because of its appearance resembling a tusk piercing the earth.

There is a dragon’s nest where Aoi and her mother Yule spent many years, deep inside the forest behind our house.

But now, there is nothing left in the nest.

Because Officer Doggy told us that the Treasure Hunters Association is about to start a large-scale investigation.

I worked with my dad and Aoi to clean up everything.

Not just the Treasure Hunter Association, but various guys are aiming for dragons.

It is rumored that if you drink dragon blood, you will obtain great power, and if you eat the egg, you will become immortal. The gems accumulated by dragons are of the highest quality, and their skin and flesh also have various extraordinary effects.

The world is brimming with that kind of gossip. Of course, most of it is nonsense.

There are certain parts that cannot be denied, but Alba and Aoi already said that those traditions and legends were wrong.

However, they believe in it and will target Aoi, Jaja and Nana.

I will make them think that the dragon has already moved a long time ago.

Our brains, Mikuma, who was familiar with fantasy, myths, and legends, said that, “Dragon that were actually witnessed in the past has never had a nest in the same place after that.” So we brought her furniture into our house and used Aoi’s power to destroy the nest.

So now it should be disguised as “I was impatient because I was targeted for my egg and moved in a hurry.”

During the survey period, Aoi and the twins can rarely go outside.

As far as Officer Doggy knows, it’s going to last about two months.

It’s long, how annoying.

For the time being, my father plans to drive them far away from the town on his days off.

I’m sorry that they can only leave the house once or twice a week, so I’m currently makings plans with Shouhei so they can have lots of fun.

“If I’m not mistaken, Tusk Crag was near Aniki’s house.”

“Hmm, ah, I guess so.”

“I’ve seen it from a distance, but I’ve never seen it up close. Until a while ago, when the dungeon was still in use, there were many treasure hunters in this town.”

“Really?”

I pretended not to know.

I can’t say that I’ve actually been inside that dungeon.

It is a crime for an ordinary person without a license to enter a dungeon managed by the association. There can be fines or prison sentences.

The “Tusk Crag” dungeon is a collection type dungeon based on rare ores and medicinal plants with special medicinal properties, but most of it is exhausted now.

If the magic stones that make up the dungeon there can replenish sufficient magic power, the ores and herbs will naturally recover, but Japan is originally a region with little magic power.

It seems that if there are dozens of magical points in various places, the dungeon will be larger and deeper, but it wasn’t the case for this town.

Also, it seems that the magic stones in Tusk Crag are quite small. It seems that the size of the dungeon is generally decided by the size of the magic stones, which have different amounts of storage depending on their size and type. Tusk Crag is on the smaller side of the dungeons in Japan.

“Well, it’s a place deep in the forest.”

“That’s right.”

I continued to act dumb and ended the conversion.

If you continue for more than this, I’m going to be exposed.

I once again looked, I gazed at the Tusk Crag. I couldn’t see my house, but Tusk Crag was there with a strong presence.

While thinking that I wouldn’t go there anymore, I returned my line of sight to the lunch box.

It was at that time.

For a moment, the outside of the window was dyed pure white.
