“It’s shaking, it’s shaking!”
A scream infused with magic power shook the classroom.
One of the lonely “Bocchis” has spread their wings without anyone noticing…
…Kasuya -kun, you were a bit of a strange kid, but… even when everyone went their separate ways during free time, you always stayed with me, didn’t you…?
Ugh, it’s a little sad, but Snow-sama and the others must have seen that gentle side of you.
…From this day on! I hereby acknowledge your discharge from the Bocchis!!
Grow big and strong, Kasuya -kun…
“But, but, Snow-sama! There’s still one spot left!”
“That’s right!”
“Please, choose me!”
“Please choose me!”
Everyone gets excited all at once. They want to be with Snow-sama that much… ah, is this what youth is like?
That’s right, everyone wants to be acknowledged.
If you’re with someone real, like Snow-sama and the others, it feels like you might become the real deal too.
Wow, Kasuya -kun, you’re the real deal too…
“Ugh, wh-what should I do, Aki—”
“Everyone!! Let’s calm down for a bit!”
A voice rang out.
It’s Harusaki -kun.
Making his entrance right here! Everyone’s boyfriend! The male version of a first love thief! Ritsu Harusaki makes his appearance, main character style.
Ah, I accidentally started rhyming…!
“Um, Snow-san looks troubled… so isn’t it fine to leave it as it is?”
“Ritsu, you’re so kind~ Yeah, everyone, it’s up to the person who pairs with whom!”
“Yeah, Ritsu is right.”
Wow, Harusaki -kun, amazing! To speak up in this situation, you really are the protagonist!
“Ugh… w-well, if Seventh-san says so then…”
“Y-yes, if Ritsu-sama says so then…”
The riotous group calmed down.
Yeah, yeah.
“Um, Snow-san. Can I ask you… one thing?”
“? Yes, of course, Nanas— I mean, Seventh-san. Ah, that was a nice assist earlier, thank you…!”
“N-no, it’s fine. Um, why did you choose Kasuya -kun?”
“…? Because he’s my friend?”
“Um, is… is that okay? I mean, he’s, um, the G-class Gifted…”
“?? He’s a very talented wizard, you know?”
“…Oh, I see. Sorry, that was a strange question.”
“No problem! Good luck with your dungeon training too, Seventh-san!”
Huh?
This feels kind of… wistful…
K-Kasuya -kun? What are you caught up in!?
What kind of response—?
“Hey, Aki-kun, what does it feel like to use enhancement magic?”
“Don’t tell me you can’t even use enhancement magic? No way! How are you even a wizard?”
“Well, I don’t have much magic power… But I thought I might be able to help a little, so please show me.”
“Haa… well, it’s like wrapping a membrane around your body—”
“Hmm, I see… as expected, there’s an anomaly in your magical circulation—”
Why are you ignoring him!!??
As a loner, I have to be sensitive to these kinds of relationships!
Oh, but the fujoshi crowd looks satisfied, watching over the two!!
“Uh, um, Snow-san, by the way, who are you planning to invite as the sixth member…? Well, I think everyone’s curious.”
“Huh?”
Ah! Harusaki -kun is still doing his best over here!!
But Harusaki -kun, look behind you!
The beautiful girls in your group are making scarier and scarier faces—ahh, they noticed me!!
“Hmm… that’s true, there is still one spot left…”
Snow-sama touches her chin with a finger and tilts her head.
Wow, even her every little move is too beautiful to look at, so dazzling!!
The sixth member.
Everyone in class gets excited again at those words—
“Ah, I know. Kasuya -kun, why don’t you decide? Aki and the others, are you okay with that?”
“Hmm, I don’t mind, me and Natsu are cool with it.”
“I-I hope it’s someone kind…”
“There you go, Kasuya .”
“Huh. Me…?”
Snow-sama looks at Kasuya -kun with a smile.
Something about these two, or rather, Snow-san, feels a bit… something…
“Kasuya -kun!!!!!!!!”
Everyone suddenly surges toward Kasuya -kun.
“…Tch.”
“Ah!”
With Aki-kun’s sharp sound, everyone freezes in place.
Wait, did Aki-sama just protect Kasuya -kun?
“Oh my~”
Ah! The fujoshi crowd is looking so delighted!! How can they all have the same expression!?
“Kasuya -kun, feel free to invite a friend if you’d like?”
“I don’t have any friends~”
Kasuya -kun smoothly replies to Snow-san’s harsh question.
Wow, his lone wolf skills are impressive…
Huh, some of the Bocchis members look a bit down…?
Ouch…
Huh? Why does this feel a bit strange…?
…Oh, I see.
The Bocchis were just a group of leftover people, but I guess deep down I thought of them as my friends…
“But Kasuya -kun is different.
Hehe, relationships are tough… I feel like I want to die.
Aaaaah, I just assumed I was friends with everyone, got hurt all on my own… I’m such a troublesome girl!!
So embarrassing!!
“Ah, but wait, Hirakawa-sa—no… um, what’s the name you go by here…?”
Hirakawa-sa? Hirakawa-san?
Hehehehe.
Oh, I’m even starting to hear things.
It sounded like Kasuya -kun just called me by my name from the previous world…
There’s no way that could be—
“Kotori Tyler? Did something happen, Kasuya ?”
“Oh, so that’s your name here. Hey, Kotori-san! Want to go to the dungeon together?”
Kotori Tyler-san, there’s another one in this class besides me…
Haha, how nice. Unlike me, a lonely outcast, this is such an ultra C-level turnaround…
“Huh, can’t you hear me? Hello, Kotori-san, um, would you like to form a group with me?”
“…Pyu?”
Huh?
When did this mob-faced, cat-eyed, black-haired boy appear right in front of me?
Oh, it’s Kasuya -kun. Hey there.
“Kotori-san, would you team up with me for the school trip—no, wait. You probably don’t remember, but you helped me out a little back then.”
“Oh, um, okay.”
“Ah, thank you, Snow-saaan! Kotori-san said yes! That makes six of us.”
…Huh?
“…A girl… Yes! Understood! Alright, the team is now complete. Oh, Nanas—no, Seventh-san, the sixth member is Kotori Tyler! Thank you for your consideration!”
“Ah, ah… y-yeah. Good. I’m glad.”
…Huh??
“Nice to meet you, Kotori Tyler.”
“Hey, Kotori-chan, it’s our first time talking, right? I’m Haru, and this little guy is my brother, Natsu.”
“Oh, hi, I’m Natsu. Sorry for my sister being so rude like this.”
…Huh???
There’s a nice smell and good-looking faces really close to me.
“Ah, I’m glad that Kotori-san didn’t turn me down… During the school trip, we went to the Himeyuri Tower together, remember?”
“Kasuya , she probably has no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Oh, right.”
Huh??? Wait, does Kasuya -kun actually remember his past life?
No, wait, Kotori. That’s not what I should be thinking about right now.
Was I invited? Just now, I was invited, right!????
No way, what? Everyone around me is talking about dungeons… Does this mean… I’m part of the team…!?
Woooohooooooo!!
Team formation!! Long live team formation!!
Hehe, could this mean I actually have friends now???
Oh, what have I done?
A school debut!!!!
Not just any high school debut, but the academy debut that ranks high on the “Things a Loner Tries” list—
“Kotori Tyler-san.”
“Hyaaaa!!!!!!”
What!? My body just stood up straight on its own.
Her voice is so cute! So beautiful!!
Snow-sama is right in front of me.
“Looking forward to working with you. Let’s make this a great training experience.”
Grip.
Snow-sama takes my hand, aaaaah!
It’s soft, so smooth! Why!?
Ugh, I never expected something like this to happen. A situation too overwhelming for a loner like me!
“By the way, Tyler-san.”
“Hya—”
Snow-sama leans in close to whisper in my ear.
Aaaaah, her golden hair smells, l-like, like lemons—
“When you have some time, let’s talk. There’s something I’d like to ask you.”
“…Hya, hya! I-if I’m okay… I-I’d be happy to—”
“I’m glad to hear that. …I’d love to hear about that free time during the school trip.”
“…Huh?”
Snow-sama smiles warmly.
Her face is more charming than any butterfly or flower.
But, but, why—
“You remember, don’t you?”
Why are my knees shaking!?
D-did I do something wrong!?
Help me, Kasuya -ku—
“They say you can buy useful dungeon items either on Magic Street in the Imperial Capital or in the Gnome Village within the academy grounds.”
“I see. Kasuya , is there anything you need for the dungeon?”
“Well, since you camp out for about a week once you enter a dungeon, I’d like to get tools for tending a garden.”
“G-garden? Wh-what do you mean?”
No way!! That sounds completely useless!!
“Tyler-san? Did something happen with Ta—Kasuya -kun? Hehe, let’s all get along. I’m looking forward to it. Oh yes, very much so…”
Wh-what have I done…?
Aaaaaaaaah!
I’m done with team formations!! Never again!! Aaaaaah!!
