Chapter 374 – Episode 42. Cruises and Private Island Excursions.
Talking alone with Urabe right now was too noticeable to the female students, so I first told Urabe Konoka to wait a moment and gave her a wink. Urabe Konoka nodded as if she understood and sat down on the chair in the sea house again.
“Ryuutachi! Are you a teacher? Kinappi is a famous monster at our school.”
If Kina Kujo heard it, who is the monster? It was a story worth telling, but I couldn’t hear Seiza and Shii’s story because I was passed out. Seeing everyone saying yes and saying yes, it seemed like Kujo Kina was reigning as an object of fear. Since she sent 30 people to the hospital, the exaggerated rumors typical of her girls’ school must have made Kina Kujo even more difficult to deal with.
“I thought you would win~!”
Akina Konoe said with a slight blush blooming on her face. Well, Akina Konoe knows my skills to some extent, so she could have predicted this match.
“Well done.”
Risa Minamoto extended her thumb without looking at me. I don’t know what she did well, but it seemed like Lisa Minamoto’s preconceptions about me were slowly collapsing.
After being surrounded by female students for a while, Kujo Kina finally came to her senses and was released. This is because Lisa Minamoto announced the next schedule.
“Now it’s free time before dinner. You can go back to the villa and rest, or you can continue swimming in the sea.”
At Minamoto Risa’s words, most of us decided to rest at the villa. You must be tired because you played in the water in the morning, ate lunch, and watched the sweaty sparring between me and Kina Kujo. I was also a little mentally exhausted. Except for a few, all of us are weak female students, so they must be very tired by now.
When I arrived at the villa and was shown the room, it was quite spacious. Still, it seemed like they gave me a pretty luxurious room just because I was the homeroom teacher. The luggage handed over to the staff at the dock was also moved properly.
“Hmm… !”
I picked up my phone and called Urabe Konoka to come to my room. I was curious about what Konoka Urabe felt. Since I didn’t have the ability to detect debuffs or curses, I would be able to find out the truth if I asked Konoka Urabe, who seems to have related abilities.
Urabe Konoka must have prepared in advance and came to my room right away. She had already changed her clothes and was wearing comfortable everyday clothes instead of a swimsuit.
“How about your room?”
“It’s similar in size to the teacher’s room, but we decided to share it with three people.”
Urabe Konoka looked around my room when she asked my question, and then she answered. The villa is quite large, so it would be possible to accommodate one room per person, but since chatting at night is also part of my travel dream, I think we assigned three people each.
Since there were 12 people without Karen Uenosono, it seemed like three people were sharing four rooms. This time, unlike at the department store, the composition was a little different, perhaps based on friendship. Of course, I couldn’t belong to any group, so there was a room made up of the remaining kids, but I didn’t think it was a bad thing because we could become friends this way.
“I am in the same room as Sakagami-san and Naruse-san.”
It seemed that Urabe Konoka’s room was the room of the remaining children who did not have anyone close to them. Masked girl Rena Sakagami had no one close to her, and Shiyo Naruse also often missed school, so she was closer to her school nurse, Jurie Kijimoto, than to her students. Likewise, Urabe Konoka was also her transfer student and had no friends before she transferred to the school.
Well, I thought it would be Erika Oofuchi in this room instead of Shiyo Naruse. She tried and said she was in the same room as Tsubaki.
It seemed like Tsubaki Shido and Erika Oofuchi were going to listen to the story about the VR dive that they shared from the helicopter. If you’re a VR diver, you’re probably trying to become friends with Erika Oofuchi because, as a former head of the newspaper department, she seems like a good source of information.
I thought I would stop talking about the room and now share the story of Kina Kujo.
“Now tell Kujo Kina what you felt.”
“Actually, I didn’t feel anything strange at all in the beginning of the fight. However, the curse became stronger and stronger, and before she knew it, it covered Ms. Kujo’s entire body. From then on, Miss Kujo went on a rampage.”
Well, it’s a curse… As expected, it was a debuff, not a trait. Since there are glasses from the ruins that have the remaining count, I can check what kind of curse it is. Should I call them and check?
“There is no need to drag this on.”
If it is a curse like Urabe Konoka said, the berserk will become more and more severe. Before I knew it, the effects of berserk would affect my personality, and if my insanity exploded, like when I was disciplined, it could even cause casualties.
Then, of course, it will affect my mission, so it would be better to resolve it in advance. I contacted Kina Kujo and had her come to my room.
“Teacher~! Hey! I felt good about it. “To pass out like this without any injuries, is it acceptable in sparring?”
Kujo Kina opened her door and came in, speaking loudly. She was a little startled when she saw Urabe Konoka in the room, but she soon sat across from me at the table. Since I was wearing the ruins glasses beforehand, I immediately looked at Kujo Kina.

Technology
◆Kujo Kinaryu Mixed Martial Arts Lv8 [Special Skill]: A mixed martial art that combines several martial arts that Kujo Kinaryu learned on his own. Not completed yet.
◆Physical Training Lv10 [General Skill]: When performing physical training, it slightly increases the probability that related physical stats below 10 will increase.
◆Kujo Family Traditional Cooking Lv05 [Rare Skill]: You can cook various dishes of the Kujo family that have been passed down for generations.
Characteristics
◆Sense of the Wild [Narrative Trait]: Nerve and Luck stats increase by 2, and there is a chance of being aware of danger approaching you. Additionally, your evasion rate and accuracy increase, and you become more adept at using terrain during battle.
◆The martial arts genius [Growth narrative characteristic]: You can easily learn martial arts. Depending on your efforts, your characteristics can change to one of martial arts master/saint/superhuman. The growth rate of other skills except martial arts decreases by 15%.
◆Wild Body [Epic Trait]: Strength and agility stats increase by 1, and their limit also increases by 1. The efficiency of strength and agility increases and minor wound regeneration is obtained.
Surprisingly, the characteristics were good. Although the level is still low, all characteristics are narrative characteristics and the martial arts master is a growth type, so it may rise further. Wouldn’t it be okay to become an evasive critical hit fighter who mainly invests in agility, nerve, and concentration stats? Ah, rather than this, I should focus on the debuff under that name for now.
As I focus my attention on the debuff window, a detailed explanation appears in the transparent window.
◇ Debuff/Curse – Mumatsu Anya (無末暗夜) Berserker (狂爆印): Mumatsu Anya’s herbivore. Can brand the opponent with a curse spell.
└Blight Brand: Curse, periodically inflicts a berserk status ailment on the opponent. During battle, the activation rate increases by 150%.
Anya Mumatsu… Where did you hear it? Where did you hear it? As I think about Mumatsu Anya, Mumatsu Anya’s explanation appears before my eyes.
◆Mumatsuanya (無末暗夜) [Legend + Fighting]: A fighting technique created by Kengo Takakushi by fusing Shinkaiyatsude and Tetsue Shinto-ryu. It uses an unknown power called the Abyss, but it has the side effect of deforming the mind.
Ah! It was the name of Kengo Takakushi, who stole and learned Shinkaiyatsude, which my teacher, Rinka Fujigasaki, had warned me about, and founded a martial arts group called Anyaji. I had forgotten that after hearing the warning about Kengo Takakushi from my teacher, I immediately prepared to come to St. Francis Girls’ Academy. I didn’t know it would be intertwined like this.
But why does Kina Kujo have traces of Anya Mumatsu? I don’t know if it’s related to Kinawa Kujo, but when I think about it, Mumatsuanya is also a martial art that deals with the abyss, so it seemed natural that Konoka Urabe, a shrine maiden related to the daughter of the abyss, would find out about it.
“Ahaha… ! Teacher, I know I’m attractive, but why are you looking at me so intently?”
As I continued to stare at the stat window, Kujo Kina, who could no longer bear it, blushed slightly and tried to lighten the mood with a joke.
“Kujo, haven’t you been able to control your partner lately? “I think this sparring may have something to do with the incident that got you suspended.”
“Did you just show off like that in sparring?”
Kina Kujo asked back without being overly surprised, as if she had guessed what I said. She seemed to be self-aware as well. I shook her head and then opened her mouth.
“It wasn’t that obvious. “I think only people like me and Urabe would have noticed.”
I’m sure Diana Saionji and Yuka Otagi have also noticed this, but there’s no need to say that many people know that you’re strange.
“Do you know what kind of family the Urabe family is?”
“Yes, it’s a famous gentleman’s family.”
Kujo Kina nodded her head and answered my question.
“I think Urabe senses a strange energy from you. “I think it’s probably related to a curse. Is there anywhere I can guess?”
If you are an ordinary person, many people will scoff when you say curse, but if you are a child of a famous family who knows more about the other side of the world, you will know that curses are real. As expected, Kujo Kina shook her head and smiled with a slightly serious expression.
“Thank god. Because it’s a curse… “I thought I was crazy.”
I’m glad it’s a curse. Well, it might be better to have a curse that can be healed rather than something that goes crazy. He seemed a little teary-eyed and had been thinking a lot about himself.
“Okay. Because I don’t know much about Haeju. Talk to Urabe here. “I don’t know who placed the curse, so I’ll talk to the family and investigate.”
“Thank you, teacher. “I will repay this favor someday.”
The Kujo family is ranked 3rd or 4th in the financial world after Taira and Minamoto, so if they clear their debt, they will one day make a big profit. Of course, I didn’t interfere in this matter because of the reward, but it would be nice to get rewarded. There was no need to refuse like a fool when they offered compensation.
