Chapter 479 – Episode 53. Test Results and Awards.
After Shigemune Minamon left, Risa Minamoto sat quietly in her seat and thought. I don’t know how Minamoto Shigemune knew about her own situation, but what she said was somewhat true.
Just because Risa Minamoto went out to play didn’t mean she was going to skip school. Although she has become weaker than she was when she was younger due to the continued framing of her siblings, she still displays her unexpected talent by running the company and the fortune she secretly received from Minamoto Ushin, who is Minamoto Risa’s favorite.
I was growing stronger.
She also recruited outstanding talent from St. Francis Girls’ Academy, which could be said to be a treasure trove of talent. This is because she had many students who received education from a famous family and had abilities due to their bloodline. She was recruited mostly by her own classmates and her seniors, who had quickly become adults and were able to combine college and work.
She had trouble recruiting talent from her junior side, as her one-year junior, Taira Kanna, started a rumor that Risa Minamoto was her delinquent student, but she already had enough of the backbone of her faction. She had no major regrets because she was able to recruit enough students.
But there was something unexpected she didn’t expect. It was Risa Minamoto who got her own paycheck right away. It was known outside of her that the Taira family had a hand in her retention of grades, but behind the scenes, she knew that Risa Minamoto’s brothers and sisters had first raised the issue with St. Francis Girls’ Academy. At first, she tried to get over at St. Francis Girls’ Academy, but she eventually had no choice but to place the penalty on the agenda: repeating a grade for lack of attendance. What Risa Minamoto hates more than her Taira are her own siblings, because they always get in her way in this way.
When her retention of grades came up on the agenda, she, of course, made an official complaint on Minamoto’s side, but from the standpoint of St. Francis Girls’ Academy, she raised the issue and complained again at Minamoto, so she had no choice but to accept Taira. There was a story that he dragged her into repeating a grade. The Taira family was, of course, a good source of embarrassment for Minamoto, so she was excited and agreed to her retention.
After her retention, Risa Minamoto’s classmates graduated, and Risa Minamoto’s influence at St. Francis Girls’ Academy almost disappeared, but as Shigemune Minamoto said, there was still a small amount of influence left.
No matter how powerful she was, she did not want to help Minamoto Shigemune with his work. If you don’t help her, she will definitely start a fight with you about everything. Risa Minamoto thought for a moment and realized what she had to do.
“Yes, you can hinder and help at the same time.”
Risa Minamoto picked up her phone with a strange smile. Her name as student president appeared on the smartphone screen.

Saturday was the day Alic went on a date with Konoka Urabe. In fact, in the case of Alric and Konoka Urabe, they were not eligible for gifts because their grades were low, but since they had a very close relationship with me, I made an exception and decided to hang out with them on the weekend in secret from the students in the special class.
“Ryuu… !”
Alrik ran towards me wearing a white dress with a cardigan on top to match the early fall weather. Aleek had always been small and thin, but he had suddenly gained nutrition and developed feminine body lines. Still, he was always cute because his attitude towards me didn’t change.
“… What about Kono?”
“It hasn’t arrived yet. “Because we came a little early.”
It was Alric who took a quick look around and asked about Urabe Konoka’s whereabouts. Since it was still 10 minutes before the appointment time, there was still time. The Miyashi Jiwon Shrine in the Urabe family where Konoka Urabe lives was quite far from the city where we had agreed to meet, so it seemed a little late.
Konoka Urabe hurriedly arrived two minutes before the scheduled time. She thought it was late, so she came running. Even though it was a cool day in early fall, she was sweating a little.
“S-sorry! “It’s late, right?”
“No, it’s not late. “It’s still 2 minutes before the appointment.”
“It’s late, Kono, Alic and Ryuta have been waiting a long time.”
“I’m sorry, Alek~!”
I said it was okay because I wasn’t late for the appointment, but Alic, who wanted to play with me, put both his hands on his waist, puffed out his cheeks, and said something to Konoka Urabe. It was like this before. When Alrik gets angry, he puffs out his cheeks.
Aleek, who was immediately relieved by Urabe Konoka’s apology, grabbed me and Urabe Konoka’s hands with both hands and started dragging them away. Seeing him pulling and leaving in a hurry, it seemed like he really wanted to go on a date.
Well, Alic’s curiosity must have grown as his classmates were not in the dating experience club that all of his classmates were members of, and because of his usual innocent appearance, his classmates did not often talk about men or dating in front of him.
The first place Alrik chose was a café. It was a famous dating spot in Miya City, but it was not that famous among students because students at St. Francis Girls’ Academy had no men to date unless they did it secretly. It could be said that it is a place visited by many people in Miyashi.
“Would you like to order?”
“Alik and Ryuta couple tropical smoothie… !”
“Then, please give me a couple tropical smoothie and a green tea frappuccino. And…”
Why don’t I have a choice… ? Alic seemed to have decided what to eat in advance and chose a drink to share with me, and Konoka Urabe, who likes green tea, ordered a green tea Frappuccino and a dessert to share. The clerk smiled and took our order and left, leaving us waiting for our drinks.
“How did Alrik know about this place?”
“Mama taught me. It’s a good place for a date…”
By mama, you’re probably referring to Egawa Shiho, Alrik’s adoptive mother. Surprisingly, Egawa Shiho seemed to be familiar with places like this couple store.
“This is my first time coming here, but it’s quite pretty.”
“Alrik, you chose well… ?”
“Yes, it’s Alrik!”
Although they were the same age, Urabe Konoka had the attitude of a much older sister or aunt. Urabe Konoka smiled sweetly and stroked Alric’s head.
“Drinks are here!”
As we were chatting cheerfully, a clerk came and brought out the couple’s tropical smoothie, green tea frappuccino, and a dessert that Konoka Urabe ordered separately.
The Couple Tropical Smoothie was a large, tall glass with multiple smoothies piled up in layers and a heart-shaped straw that couples could drink together.
“Ryu-da, straw ah~! Sun…”
“Is that so?”
As Alik requested, I asked for a straw, and Alik also took a straw. They were so close that their noses touched each other. We drank the tropical smoothie together, and as I kept looking at Alik, his face became more and more red.
“Stop drinking now, Ryu…” .”
After lifting his mouth from the straw, Alrik slightly turned his head and spoke. Konoka Urabe smiled at us and took a sip of her Frappuccino.
“
Hmm, it’s delicious…
”
At that moment, I thought I heard a voice similar to the Daughter of the Abyss, not Urabe Konoka’s voice… I’m looking at Urabe Konoka, huh? What’s going on? He looked at me while doing so.
It was said that Urabe Konoka was the shrine maiden of the Daughter of the Abyss, and I thought that maybe she was briefly connected to the Daughter of the Abyss. Maybe not, but the voice definitely wasn’t Urabe Konoka’s.
The Daughter of the Abyss does like sweet things. I’ll have to pack the dessert later and offer it as an offering. He recently teased me by giving me Onahol as a gift, but I decided to let it go since Onahol increased my ability limit, and he probably didn’t do it with the intention of tormenting me.
After leaving the café, we went to a fairly large game center in Miya City. It is a game center with the latest VR device game consoles and popular games. It was also created with money invested by people from a prestigious family.
Since St. Francis Girls’ Academy was used by female students from prestigious families, the price was quite burdensome, but since no one was short of money here, we went in without worrying about the price.
Inside the game center, students who appeared to be female students from St. Francis Girls’ Academy were playing games. Alic, I, and Konoka Urabe looked around to see what games there were. Secretly, the girls at the game center got a little upset when they saw me, but they didn’t talk to us or anything.
The first thing we did was play a VR game about killing zombies. It was a game that cost about 1,500 yen per person. Perhaps because it is a VR game, it felt quite realistic. Alric slaughtered the zombies with his usual expressionless expression without changing his expression, but Konoka Urabe was busy running away, cackling as if he was weak.
I wasn’t afraid of zombies or anything, so I was shooting guns and going along just fine. Perhaps because we had baggage called Urabe Konoka, we soon saw the game over screen. It was a burdensome task because two people had to deal with zombies that should have taken three people. Still, we both had good skills, so we enjoyed the game for quite a long time.
“Ryuta, it was fun… !”
Alrik happily took off the VR device in a slightly excited state. Urabe Konoka didn’t have a good expression, but she seemed glad that the game was over. The next thing I did was not a game, but a photo of the stickers installed in the game center. I took photos with various backgrounds and interesting poses.
After taking pictures, several female students were standing in line at the sticker photo machine. He looked embarrassed and at the same time very solemn.
“Sir, stand, stand, teacher…” ! Please take a picture with us too… !”
Suddenly, there were female students asking me to take a picture with them.
