Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 - Magic and Night (6)

Magic and Night (6) Translator: Chaos ****

"Hehe hmm, hehe mm-hmm."

Sssk, sssk, sssk!!!

The morning after surviving a night where I was almost fucked.

We had fallen asleep for a bit and were woken up by the sounds of students arriving at school.

'What a shame….'

To be honest, …I wanted to stay in the cabinet a little longer.

Of course, the fact that I couldn't do anything was painful.

But more than that pain, that place was heaven.

"Alright, all done, Ares."

"Ah, thanks."

"I thought your hair was cute just now, though."

"I can't go to class looking like that."

After waking up in the morning, we stayed in the utility room and finished our preparations for school.

Well, it was just Lana fixing my bed hair with a comb.

"...."

"Did you sleep well yesterday?"

Fiddle, fiddle!!

Lana put down the comb she was using and asked while touching my hair from behind me.

While doing so, she would touch my ear or massage the nape of my neck.

"Well…, so-so."

"Heung~."

"...Why?"

"I tossed and turned a little."

"...."

"I was hugging a boy tightly in such a narrow space, you know. …Heung, so Ares slept well."

"...."

What was this conversation…?

No, no, was she feeling disappointed…?

So was she showing that she was sulking right now…?

[NightRat: Still, it's a relief that you know you're an idiot yourself]

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: It's okay Ares…, we all understand you]

[Lana, fuck, what a sly bitch]

ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: I really thought I was going to pass out watching the video lolololol]

ㄴ[Why only that Ares bastard, only that bastard, only that bastard…]

[Hikikomori: Me too, the cabinet…]

After finishing our preparations, we stealthily slipped out of the utility room.

Perhaps because it was still early morning, there weren't many students arriving at school.

"Our bags are in the classroom, right?"

"Yeah, ah, what about lunch today? We couldn't buy a lunchbox."

"We'll have to go to the school store or something."

"Hehe, then I'll buy something with Ares and eat with him."

"...."

It was a strange feeling.

It was certain that Lana was an anomaly.

But strangely, I wasn't afraid of her anymore.

Was it because we had gone through something like that together yesterday?

'Somehow…, it felt like she was trying to help me, too….'

Putting aside the fact that Lana was cute, her behavior last night was strange enough.

Lana was an anomaly.

An anomaly who had tried to kill me, and would try to kill me in the future.

…Why in the world would such a Lana help me?

If she wanted to kill me, she had more than enough chances last night.

"What are you going to buy to eat, Ares?"

"Well…, something like bread…."

I was confused.

I knew she was an anomaly.

But was she really a threat to me?

My heart was pounding at the sight of her talking to me with a lovely smile even now.

'NightRat…, said it was to make me choose her at the graduation ceremony….'

NightRat's death was also because he had chosen the wrong female student at the graduation ceremony.

Now, I felt like I could somehow understand his choice.

He probably felt something was off about that female student.

Nevertheless, didn't NightRat choose that female student, hoping that it wasn't so?

"Ah."

"…Huh? Why?"

"There, over there."

"Over there?"

Just then, Lana, who was talking with me, pointed her finger as if she had found something.

When I moved my gaze to the tip of her finger, someone was walking down the hallway there.

With a small body, she shook her large breasts.

With her platinum-blonde hair fluttering, she peeked into the classrooms here and there in the hallway.

It was Ellie.

'What is she looking for so desperately?'

We watched her silently for a moment.

Since we were in a direction where we would run into her soon anyway.

And

"Uung…, where, ...huh? Aah! A-Ares!"

When Ellie found me, she came running with a surprised face.

My gaze was inadvertently stolen by her breasts that shook as she ran.

Oops, I shouldn't look too much.

"Hi, good morning, Ellie."

"Ares…! A-are you okay?! You collapsed yesterday!"

"Huh? Aah, so you knew too, Ellie."

"Yeah…! I went to the nurse's office too…! I was worried because you didn't wake up…!"

Saying that, Ellie gently squeezed my hand.

And tears gently formed in her eyes as she looked at me.

"I'm glad…, you woke up properly…."

"Ut…."

A small, soft, warm hand.

My heart pounded without me realizing it at the sensation of that hand.

And just then.

"…Hehe, you don't have to worry too much~, Ellie. ...Because I took good care of him during the night."

"...."

"W-wait a minute, Lana…."

Lana snatched the hand that Ellie was holding and said that.

And then, Ellie's tear-filled eyes instantly became cold.

"If only…, I hadn't lost at rock-paper-scissors back then…."

"Rock-paper-scissors?"

"Y-yeah…! You see? I wanted to stay by Ares's side too…! B-but the school nurse said…, only one person could stay…."

"Aah, so that's what happened."

Come to think of it, it was strange that Ellie would just leave when I had collapsed.

Because to her, I was her childhood friend whom she had a crush on.

'I wondered why she didn't stay, but she lost at rock-paper-scissors.'

A small question was solved.

"Next time, I'll definitely take care of Ares…!"

"Haha, yeah, well …there shouldn't be a next time I faint."

"Uung…."

At my words, Ellie seemed to shrink for a moment and fidgeted with her fingers.

And then, as if something was bothering her, she raised her head and asked me a question.

"Uuuut…, u-um, Ares…, by any chance…, during the night in the nurse's office, did you and Lana, something.... Huh?"

Just then, her eyes widened as if she had discovered something.

"Huh? What's wrong? Is something strange?"

At Ellie's gaze, I fumbled with my face.

Oops, did I have some sleep in my eye?

Lana had said I was okay when we were getting ready just now.

And so, I stealthily looked at Lana.

…She was looking at me, smiling as if she was having fun for some reason.

...What was it?

"Um, Ares…."

"Ah, yeah."

"On your neck…, what's this…?"

"My neck…?"

Ellie pointed to my neck with the tip of her finger.

At that, I fumbled around the nape of my neck with my hand.

But I couldn't feel anything.

"Ah, I'll lend you a mirror. Here."

Just then, Lana took out a small hand mirror from her pocket and handed it to me.

At that, I checked my neck reflected in the hand mirror.

"...."

"...."

"...Hehe♡"

I discovered a hickey left deeply on the nape of my neck.

"W-whawhawha, w-what in the world is this…?!"

I looked at Lana in a fluster.

No way, yesterday?

Was it left from that mwah-mwah time?

No, but that mwah-mwah was by no means strong enough to leave a hickey…!

"Ares…, that on your neck…, what is it?"

"Hiiik…!"

And Ellie's gaze, who had noticed the mark on my neck, changed creepily.

Her hollow eyes, as if they would pull you in, looked at me as if they would eat me up.

And the one who answered Ellie's question.

Was not me, but Lana.

"Sorry, sorry, but Ares…, he wasn't waking up well in the morning."

"La-Lana…?!"

"...."

"But his nape just happened to look pretty, so …I couldn't help myself."

Saying that, Lana sensually touched her own lips.

No way….

On my neck while I was sleeping.

"...."

"...."

I could feel Ellie's gaze growing even more fiercely dark.

Title: You said the daytime was safe, you fucks!!!

[Video]

Where the hell is this safe;;;

I really think I'm gonna die

I'd rather say last night was safer

I'm really fucking scared…!!

Comments

[LunchboxCollector: Wow, fuck, a hickey]

[Is that Ellie?? She's fucking pretty …and she's fucking huge]

ㄴ[That Ares bastard can really die]

ㄴ[If it were me, I would have closed my eyes once and pounced on her]

ㄴ[ForGlory: Then he would be split into A/re/s lolol]

[NightRat: That's scary;; but well, she probably won't kill him]

ㄴ[Ares: Right? It's not like I confessed, so she won't, right??]

ㄴ[NightRat: Sorry, I actually don't know;;]

ㄴ[lololololol, this bastard has given up too]

ㄴ[Ares: Ah, please, I'm fucking scaredㅠㅜㅠ]

Ellie's cold gaze was even creepier than the voice-mimicking hag anomaly I had run into yesterday.

In the end, I ran away.

The development of Lana and Ellie holding onto me on both sides and squishing me was quite nice, like a romcom.

But for some reason, I felt like my arms and legs would be pulled and I would be split in half.

'…Let's go in around the time morning assembly starts.'

Ellie's gaze was real.

It wasn't like I could read her mind, but.

I felt like I had caught a glimpse of the thought 'If I can't have you, I'll kill you' in that gaze.

'Still, there's a possibility that Ellie is human….'

Unlike Lana, it wasn't confirmed whether Ellie was an anomaly or a human.

So I couldn't just distance myself from her.

Which made it an even more troublesome situation.

"Phew…, this is difficult, so difficult…."

At times like this, I always resented this horror academy.

Would it kill them to just let me enjoy a normal harem life?

'…Anyway, it would be better to be careful of Ellie for the time being.'

And so, as I was wandering the 5th-floor hallway and killing time.

Click, clack, click, clack!!

Familiar footsteps were heard from the hallway.

"Popopo, popopo…."

And a familiar laugh was also heard.

At that, I lifted my head and looked in the direction the sound came from.

Click, clack, jiggle, click, clack, jiggle….

The giant Miss Rapori was walking towards me.

After a moment.

She stopped in front of me, gently bent her waist, and made eye contact with me.

And then, the giant Peach Blossom Spring jiggled and stole my gaze.

Wow.

"...."

"Popopo, little friend. Good morning. Is your body okay now?"

"Yes, yes…, I'm okay."

"Popopo…, but…."

And just then.

Miss Rapori narrowed her eyes for a moment, then gently placed her hand on my head.

Pat, pat!!

"Uh, oof…, um…."

"Little friend…, it seems you've safely made a contract with a spirit? Popopo."

"Yes…?"

A spirit?

What was that all of a sudden?

"I was worried because I played a prank on the little friend yesterday…, but it seems the spirit likes the little friend."

"Miss…, I don't really understand that…."

"Please come find me during lunchtime today."

"...Yes?"

"Because I feel sorry that you fainted yesterday. I'll specially find out about the little friend's spirit for you."

And so, Miss Rapori smiled prettily, then straightened her bent waist.

Jiggle~

And then, the giant Peach Blossom Spring that had filled my vision moved away.

"Then I'll see you at lunchtime, popopo."

Click, clack, click, clack!

The teacher left only her words and turned her body and left.

"A spirit…?"

Title: Hey, they said I got a spirit?

Miss Popopo said I made a contract with a spirit

Is this a good thing??

Comments

[NightRat: You already made a contract with a spirit????]

ㄴ[Ares: I ran into the teacher in the hallway and she said so]

ㄴ[ForGlory: Wow, fuck, how did he already make a contract with a spirit?]

ㄴ[Ares: Is it a good thing?]

ㄴ[NightRat: Have to check to see if it's a good thing, but usually, you barely make a contract around the end of the 1st semester, so you're a special case, that's for sure]

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Wow lolol, could it be that he just passed the test by fainting yesterday?? He was fucking lucky]

ㄴ[Ares: What's a test?]

ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: The spirit bastards play a lot of pranks when you try to make a contract with them]

ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: That's the test]

"So that's what fainting was…."

No wonder, I thought I heard a girl's laughter right before I fainted.

It seemed that was the spirit's test.

…He said you could die instantly if you were unlucky, so I guess I was lucky?

Anyway, I survived, right?

I wrote the next post with a happy heart.

Title: Anyway, I'm trying to check the spirit

Miss Rapori said she would do it herself

This should be okay, right…?

She told me to come find her during lunchtime

[Holy shit… Alone with the giant-breasted teacher during lunchtime…]

[NightRat: You'll be fucked if you get horny and cross the line, be careful]

ㄴ[Ares: No;; she said she's going to find out about the spirit, why are you talking about being horny;; what the hell]

ㄴ[NightRat: I'm more dumbfounded by your shamelessness…]

ㄴ[RedNightSky: Honestly, you're not expecting anything??]

ㄴ[Ares: No, fuck, of course…]

ㄴ[Ares: …A little]

ㄴ[RedNightSky: lolololol, of course]

ㄴ[NightRat: Just don't handle her as you please like with Ellie's mother]

'It probably won't be like with Ellie's mama….'

Of course, Miss Rapori was a properly conscious being, unlike Ellie's mama.

Anyway, it didn't seem like there would be any danger, so I waited for lunchtime with a relieved heart.

And so, after the morning classes ended.

"Ares♡, let's eat lunch."

"I-I want to eat with you too…!"

"Ah, sorry. I have something to do for a moment. Can you guys eat first?"

I explained the situation to Lana and Ellie, who had come to find me when lunchtime came, and went to find Miss Rapori.

'Come to think of it, the teacher…, seemed to have noticed the gallery….'

Could it be that she could see the screen itself?

It seemed I needed to be careful about using the gallery after entering the room.

Just in case, I lowered the transparency of the gallery window to the minimum.

And so, I went to Miss Rapori's prep room in the magic classroom on the 5th floor.

Knock, knock, knock!!!

"It's Ares, …may I come in?"

[Popopo, yes, come in.]

Gulp!

I opened the door with a slightly nervous heart and entered the room.

"...."

"Welcome, little friend. Come on, come over here."

The room had a feeling like a land of giants.

Desk, chair, bookshelf, and so on.

Everything was slightly larger than the normal size.

Facing Miss Rapori's room like that, I felt as if I had become an elementary school student.

And so, in a strange sensation, I carefully walked in front of her.

"Um…, where should I sit?"

"Here, popopo."

At my question, Miss Rapori patted her lap.

"...Yes?"

"If you sit here, I'll try to talk to the little friend's spirit."

So.

You want me to sit there…?

Title: Miss Rapori's boob sofa

…I didn't think she would tell me to sit on her lap

...It should be okay, right??

Comments

[NightRat: Be careful, you'll really be fucked;;;]

[Wow, he's sitting on her lap??? Then he'll lean his head back???]

[A play he couldn't even try with Ellie's mama, shhhh damn]

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: That's quite enviable…]

[LunchboxCollector: Can you ask if you can sit the other way around]

ㄴ[Ares: Wow, fuck, sir, are you a genius??]

ㄴ[NightRat: What genius, you crazy bastard, stop with the bullshit and just sit;;;;]

"Then, excuse me."

"Yes, it's okay, so please sit comfortably."

And I got on her lap, facing Miss Rapori.

"Should I lean back now?"

"...Little friend, would you please turn your back?"

"Ah, sorry, I misunderstood."

Tch!

It seemed the world didn't go so easily after all.

And so, I turned my body and sat on Miss Rapori's lap again.

"Come on, please lean on my body."

"Ah, yes."

Still, leaning back was the right answer.

Thump, thump, thump!!

I gently laid my head back.

And then.

'Wow, fuck….'

Squish~

Two giant, squishy lumps embraced my back and the back of my head as if to devour them.

A warm and soft sensation spread throughout my back, and the beast in my heart began to run wild.

'No, let's not get excited, if I lose my reason, I'm fucked…. This isn't Ellie's mama.'

A dark thought bloomed for a moment at the heavenly sensation, but I tried my best to compose myself.

It's okay.

Because I had safely spent the night with Lana yesterday.

"Come on, then I'll start. I'll be gentle, so don't worry."

"Yes, no problem. Please just do it safely."

"Popopo, of course."

And Miss Rapori's large hand gently began to touch my head.

Title: What, this is nothing lol

Just feels like sitting on a sofa? lol

There's no way my reason can be beaten by just this much lol

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Ooh, what, have you grown, Ares????]

[Wow, this bastard is enduring that]

[LunchboxCollector: I admit, that was too intense yesterday]

ㄴ[Still, I didn't think that bastard would be able to hold out]

[NightRat: This bastard is growing too, phew]

"U-eh, heu, heuek…"

Squish, squish~!!

It felt like my head was being stirred.

No, this felt too good.

To the point where I might lose consciousness if I was not careful.

"Popopo, popopo…."

"U-heek…."

The teacher's large and soft hand massaged my head.

It felt like a stimulus was being poured directly into my brain.

This was no joke….

This was too amazing…!

"Popopo, it's all over, little friend. It didn't hurt, did it?"

"Yes, ye-heh…. But, my legs have gone weak…."

"Oh my, then would you like to sit for a while and listen?"

"Yes, please…."

I went limp and leaned weakly against Miss Rapori's chest.

And then, a warm and squishy giant cushion supported my face.

In that state, Miss Rapori's explanation continued.

"First…, the spirit the little friend has contracted with is the 'Spirit of Power'"

"The Spirit…, of Power…?"

The Spirit of Power?

What kind of spirit was that?

The only spirits I knew were things like the spirit of water or the spirit of wind.

Power…, was it a spirit that made you stronger?

"The Spirit of Power is, as the name suggests, a spirit that dwells in the power of all things."

"…What kind of magic can I use with that?"

"Popopo, it's different for everyone. Let's see…, in the little friend's case…."

Miss Rapori gently fiddled with my head as if to examine it one more time.

"You'll be able to use magic that restores…, lost power."

"Lost power…?"

"For example, a magic sword that has lost its power? Or artifacts like a grimoire that has lost its power."

"Magic sword…, grimoire…."

"You've obtained a good spirit and good magic, haven't you? Popopo, congratulations, little friend."

Sssk, sssk!!

Miss Rapori gently patted my head, which was buried in her chest.

It felt like my mood was going to get strange again at that touch, but.

I focused on the thought that had just come to mind, rather than her touch.

'It restores the…, lost power of a grimoire…?'

It might be a foolish delusion, but.

In my mind —I was thinking of Ellie's diary.
