## Chapter 65 – An Ordinary Day
A few weeks had passed since I’d had my way with the snow maiden mother and daughter.
These past few weeks had been truly uneventful.
I started going back to that boring school again, lugging around my ridiculously small bag, and I began mining Bitcoin using the snow maiden mother and daughter as human cooling fans.
Other than that, nothing much really happened.
Oh, of course, there were some changes.
“Takuya~ Let’s eat lunch together.”
“Okay. Hey, Momiji! Come over here!”
“U-Uh, okay…”
The biggest change was that I’d made a friend at school, other than Souta.
To be precise, a female friend.
“O-Okay, I-I understand…”
And she was a pretty big loner with communication issues.
If you were to ask why I ended up with a friend like this, we’d have to go back a few days.
“Takuya~ Good morning~”
“Hey, Souta.”
“Huh? Takuya, you don’t look so good?”
“Oh? Ah, yeah.”
A few days ago, I arrived at the classroom based on Takuya’s memories, and my heart felt heavy.
The reason was simple.
‘Having to take classes at this age….’
I just didn’t want to go to school.
You might say that I didn’t get to enjoy my youth in high school, so wouldn’t it be fun to go back now? But that only works if you’re on the same level as the other kids.
“Look! I caught this bug in the mountains yesterday!”
“Eek! Get it away!”
“Ew, gross.”
“Hehe, eat poop, eat poop!”
“That’s chocolate.”
“No, it’s poop!!”
Yeah, what kind of youth is that? It’s more like being a babysitter.
Of course, there were some more mature kids too.
“…”
Those kids were just sitting in the corner, reading books.
And they were giving off an aura that said, “Don’t you dare come near me.”
Thanks to that, the only person I could talk to was Souta, who was always smiling and listening to my complaints.
So, I was in a pretty bad mood.
‘I’d rather be banging Miyuki than hanging out with these kids…’
What’s worse, the homeroom teacher was a muscular guy, and since it was a rural school, there weren’t any young female teachers, which made me even more depressed.
I was having a boring time at school when it happened.
“Souta, I brought my game console. Let’s play behind the school after lunch.”
“Awesome!”
I was so bored that I was going to secretly play some games behind the school to relieve my gloomy mood.
“Kiki. Hey, try this.”
“Hngh… I, I don’t want to…”
“Huh, are you saying you don’t want to?”
-Slap!
I ended up witnessing a rather interesting scene.
Some kids, who seemed pretty well-dressed for their age, were cornering a timid-looking girl and bullying her.
“Takuya?”
“Souta, be quiet for a second.”
I told Souta to be quiet so I could figure out what was going on, and then I watched the situation unfold.
“Hngh… Why are you doing this…”
“You don’t know?”
The girl who seemed to be the leader laughed as if she couldn’t believe it and said to the timid girl.
“It’s because you stole Sayu’s things.”
The timid girl mustered up her courage and said,
“I, I didn’t do it-!”
“Then who else but a loser like you would steal Sayu’s things!”
“Yeah! Yeah!”
“Hurry up and give back Sayu’s things!”
“Kiki.”
All she got in return was the girl’s cold glare and sneers.
“I, I really didn’t do it…”
The timid girl’s voice grew weaker as she said that, and seeing her like that, the other girls seemed to get a boost of confidence.
“How dare you lie!”
The girl who seemed to be the leader raised her hand, and the timid girl squeezed her eyes shut.
Probably to brace herself for the pain that was about to come.
But her actions were meaningless. Why?
Because.
—Thwack!
“Hey, guys. Isn’t this a bit much?”
I had stopped the girl who was about to slap her.
“W-What?!”
The girl who had raised her hand frowned at me, who had suddenly appeared and stopped her.
Probably because I had stopped her hand.
Or maybe because.
-Grip.
“Ugh. Let go!”
I was holding the girl’s wrist tightly as she tried to shake me off.
I looked at the girl struggling to break free and the other girl behind her, who was looking at me with a mix of unease and “who are you?” and said,
“I’ll let go. But don’t bully her anymore.”
Maybe it’s because I’ve known so many people who have suffered from school violence, but I really don’t want that kind of thing happening at my school.
That was my pure intention, but the response I got was quite something.
“Why me! I can’t even stand that beggar girl going to the same school!”
Watching the girl speak with an almost enraged voice, I didn’t feel annoyed or angry. It was just kind of funny.
No. Honestly, isn’t it a ridiculous thing to say?
‘The one calling someone a beggar is just someone whose parents happen to have a bit of money.’
Even in a few years, the tables could turn. And yet, she’s talking like that.
Plus, usually, after saying something like that, they’d have the sense to understand and agree, but she’s so worked up. It’s clear she’s been spoiled rotten.
In short.
“Well, seeing you defend her, you must be a beggar too, your parents must be…”
She was a golden child.
I half-heartedly listened to this golden child’s words, but when she started to drag it on, I got annoyed, casually dropped my arm, and said,
“Yeah, keep yapping. I’m going~”
“Where are you going! I’m not done…”
“Oh, and.”
Ah, I mustn’t forget the warning.
“Let’s not bring up parents, okay?”
I said it while releasing the killing intent I usually kept suppressed.
Perhaps that’s why.
“Huh?”
The girl who seemed to be the leader, after hearing my words, collapsed on the spot.
Thankfully, she didn’t seem to have wet herself.
I left that girl behind and moved away.
“Hey, aren’t you coming?”
“Uh, uhm? Me, me?”
“Well, who else would it be?”
Of course, I also picked up the girl who was being bullied.
So, what happened after that?
Well, nothing much.
“Are we playing together again today?”
-Nod nod.
“Sure, why not.”
After that day, the timid girl, no, Momiji, started coming to our class every day to hang out, so I became close with her.
Sometimes she’d even take classes or eat lunch in our class.
Was that okay?
Luckily, the teachers were quite flexible (including a lot of hypnosis), and decisively.
“Of course! Of course! Everything is fine! Do whatever you want, Takuya! Ah, but don’t go too fast! Hahaha!”
“Ah, teacher, it’s not like that.”
There was also a slight misunderstanding.
Rumor had it that I was doing this because I had a crush on Momiji.
No. Even I, as much as I like them, I’m not into illegal lolis;;
In the first place, even though I’m not picky, I generally prefer the curvy, busty type.
“Isn’t that right, Souta?”
“Takuya has always liked pretty older girls.”
Exactly. So why did such a misunderstanding arise?
I couldn’t understand it at all.
“Hey, hey. Try this.”
“Ah, no, I’m full, so it’s okay…”
“Tsk, eat it when I give it to you.”
“Ah, okay…”
-Munch.
Every time we ate, if she was picky or had a favorite food, I’d force her to eat it.
“Hey. Why are you eating that mess with your hands? I’ll lend you my water bottle. Drink with this.”
“It’s, it’s okay…”
“I’m not okay with it.”
If there was a risk to her hygiene, I’d lend her something.
“Ah. Look at your scraped knee. Wait, I’ll take you to the nurse’s office.”
“I can go by myself…”
“Tsk!”
“Eek.”
If she seemed hurt, I’d quickly carry her to the nurse’s office in a princess carry.
“Hmm. I don’t get it…”
“Takuya. Don’t you have any conscience?”
“Huh? What did you say?”
“Never mind…”
Anyway, with Souta and Momiji, I was having a pretty good school life.
Honestly, it was so peaceful that it was almost bewildering.
It wasn’t that there was a problem with it.
But even before I was possessed, I wasn’t normal, and after being possessed, I was living a life of completing missions on a strange screen, so this kind of ordinary life was something I couldn’t get used to.
So, if you asked if I hated it.
‘That’s not it.’
Rather, I really liked this kind of life.
It was something I hadn’t properly experienced before, so even more so.
It was just a little lacking in stimulation. But it wasn’t bad.
‘I wish it would continue like this.’
But was my wish a flag?
While I was watching the track team from a nearby high school running, this screen appeared in front of my eyes.
