Chapter 621 – Episode 65. Daughter of the Abyss Returns With Preparations for the Festival.
“I wish you could stay a little longer, but I have no choice because I have to go to school tomorrow.”
Koyo Naruse looked at us standing in front of the helicopter and said with regret. Although they gave us a lot, it didn’t seem like it was a waste of money. Well, since it is a treasure collected since the Heian period, there were so many of them that the only thing we took was a bucket of water from the lake.
In addition, he even appraised the troublesome sealed items (in particular, when I explained about the infertility curse ring that could cause human extinction, I dropped the notebook in shock) and said that I would take even one of them, so it was obvious how grateful I was. I’m sure they’ll be grateful that I’m removing the cursed item from the house.
There were six of us when we came, but when we returned, Shiyo Naruse, Alic, and Airen Shimokawabe were added, making the number of nine. There were concerns about whether the helicopter would fly well due to the increased weight, but the technology of 2053 was not so poor that it would stumble due to the added weight of three women.
“It’s getting dark little by little.”
“It’s December soon, so the sun will set quickly.”
We flew in the sky with the sunset in the background. Everyone had moist expressions while looking at the sunset. Are you all feeling sentimental about something? Since you don’t often see the sunset in the sky, it’s worth getting lost in its appreciation.
“Ribbon-chan~! Say hello to Hamtaro!”
Before I could get lost in the sentiment, Rena Sakagami was introducing Hamtaro to Ribbon-chan, the weasel monster she had just received. Since we all had nothing else to do for the hour or so before heading back to Miyashi, we were watching Rena Sakagami’s Two Weasels.
“Squeak!”
“Tweet!”
The two weasels greeted each other with their noses touching each other. In fact, Hamtaro, raised by Rena Sakagami, is not a youkai, but he is a weasel specially raised by the Sakagami family, a ninja family, so he is almost half-youkai.
The two long furballs, who were sniffing each other’s noses, twisted their bodies around each other and suddenly began mating while making a fuss. No, was Yas this easy?
“Ah, ah… !”
“…!”
“The sunset is pretty, teacher.”
The atmosphere suddenly became cold. Only Alrik looked at the two weasels and said, “Ryuta, what is that?” He was putting me in an awkward position.

“It’s been a while. Did everyone rest well?”
Wednesday morning. After going to school for the first time in a week, I looked around and said hello to the students during morning assembly. Most of them had an expression on their face that said, “Oh, I hate school~”, Perhaps because it was their first time attending school in a long time, and they were not able to get used to it.
You can finally escape training with the seemingly innocent Alric! Naruse Shiyo and Kujo Kina, who had expressions like this, seemed to like school.
“Don’t spread everything out too much. There are no final exams this semester, so don’t be too lazy and prepare in advance. You know that winter vacation is short, right? Instead of regretting it later, do it little by little from now on.”
Unlike Korea, which only has 1 and 2 semesters, St. Francis Girls’ Academy had a 3-semester system. There are three semesters after the short winter break, and the final exams, center exams, and graduation are held in the third semester. For reference, the second semester had sports days, Halloween parties, field trips, and even festivals, so the image of a fun semester was stronger than the third semester, which was the end of the school year.
“That’s for the third semester~! It’s okay because it’s still the second semester!”
Seizawa Shii speaks confidently. He said it didn’t really matter if he failed the test. If she was a student at St. Francis Girls’ Academy, she could just go on to St. Francis Girls’ College, so she had the mindset that all she had to do was not get a passing grade.
For reference, an ordinary student had to have excellent grades to enter St. Francis Women’s College. Because it had the image of being a prestigious women’s college attended by prestigious female students, students other than those from St. Francis Girls’ Academy had to receive significant scores.
“Oh, you. “I have to properly prepare for the festival starting today, so stop by the clubroom after class.”
I didn’t have anything to say, so I was about to leave when Lisa Minamoto spoke to me. Yes, there were preparations for the festival.
“Okay~! Because the main character of this club’s anthology is Ryu Tachi! “If it falls out, I’ll pull out all the nose hair!”
Why are the nose hairs… Moreover, none of my writings are included in the anthology, so I don’t know what you mean by saying I’m the main character.
“I’m going to participate, so please take care of my nose hair.”
Everyone laughs and says, “Ahaha, what’s so funny about what I’m saying?” Well, high school girls are like that. Just looking at the rolling leaves makes me laugh. I left the students’ laughter behind and headed to the education preparation room.
In between, I went to the nurse’s office to enjoy the body of Kijimoto Jurie, prepared for today’s Korean class, and after finishing the Korean class, I went back to the special class building with my class and gave a speech instead of a bell ceremony. There was no specific message to be conveyed, and the ceremony ended with just saying that it had been a long time since you had taken a class and that you had a hard time.
“Ryuutachi! Since class is over, let’s go straight to the clubroom.”
It was Seizawa Shii, who had just finished class but was proposing a forced march without any rest. It seemed like other kids were also waiting for club activities, so I nodded.
“Alic is coming too.”
“Aren’t Cheongsimgwan doing any club activities today?”
“If I bow on the road like today, I have time… It’s a little okay.”
Oh, right. Since other students have to return to the classroom after class and say goodbye, the students in my class have a certain amount of time to spare. It seemed that Alik would be participating in the dating experience club during his free time.
“Okay, let’s go up together.”
We all went up to the clubroom on the second floor and sat on chairs.
“So, what exactly are you doing to prepare for the festival today?”
“I’ll explain that.”
In response to my question, Risa Minamoto stood up and spoke. Since the plan for this anthology was originally Lisa Minamoto’s, it was right for Lisa Minamoto to explain it.
“First, I took quite a few photos. “I counted, and it turned out that I took close to 6,000 pictures.”
The photo Risa Minamoto is talking about is my photo, right? But did you take six thousand pictures of me? That’s amazing…
“So today we’re going to work on selecting photos. “Out of the 6,000, we choose the ones that fit on the photo card.”
Oh, I don’t plan on using all six thousand pages. It seemed like he would be working on selecting useful items among the six thousand pieces for a while.
“First, we will first filter out photos that are blurry or have the homeroom teacher’s eyes closed, so please focus on those areas.”
We decided to divide the 13 people, including the 12 members of the dating experience group and myself, into four groups of three, and filter out 1,500 photos for each group that were blurry or with eyes closed.
I was in the same group as Oofuchi Erika and Kujo Kina, and I decided to help Alric until he got to the Cheongsimgwan.
“Kujo, what did you decide to do while you were in school?”
“I decided to go after the club and do it. “There is no time to rest.”
“Are your fingers moving now?”
“Yes, the teacher pushed me too hard on the first day and ended the training just before the point where I couldn’t move, saying he now knew my limits. He’s a devil, devil.”
I was curious about Kina Kujo’s training, so I asked her, and she seemed to be doing well. Kina Kujo was having a very fulfilling day, including her school classes, her club activities, and her training. Seeing her keep looking at Grandpa Yoda and saying he’s a devil, it seemed like she was acting really hard.
“Okay, stop chatting and check the photos quickly.”
“Okay. Let’s look at the first photo first.”
Lisa Minamoto said something to us, so I grabbed the mouse on the laptop in front of us. I clicked on the first file in the shared photo folder to bring up the screen. Hmm… Maybe it’s because I’m not a professional model, but it was quite difficult to see pictures of me in good shape.
“It’s not blurry, and I don’t close my eyes, and it goes away.”
Oofuchi Erika didn’t care that I was embarrassed and immediately flipped through the photos. Since it was taken with a very expensive camera and I was able to control my body to the point where I could resist closing my eyes while taking the picture, there weren’t many pictures worth throwing away.
“Out of the hundred, there is only one photo with my eyes closed and two blurry photos. The defect rate is only about 3 percent, no, sir.”
Oooh, Erika was so sick that now her father’s intermittent name sounds natural. Aren’t you just going to call me dad later? It was a scary thing to think about how the bachelor kept yelling at his father.
“Ryuta, Alrik, I’ll go now.”
“Yeah, see you tomorrow, Alic.”
Alrik, who had been looking at the photos for a while, got up from his seat and soon after, we finished reviewing the 1,500 photos assigned to us. First, after excluding blurry or shaky photos and photos where I closed my eyes or other characters suddenly appeared, the number was about 1,300.
“We did everything.”
“This one takes a little more time. “Because it was an early photo, there was no photography technology yet, so there are a lot of blurry photos.”
Well, taking pictures is also a skill, so the defective rate(?) Of the pictures taken in the beginning is probably high. For reference, the photos we selected were taken around the mid to late stage when we decided to take photos. So it seemed like there weren’t many shaky or blurry photos.
Soon after the selection of the first photo was completed, there was a second selection of photos.
“This time, we will talk together instead of dividing into groups. “Look at the photos and exclude photos that don’t fit the photo card.”
“I’m not going to watch all the remaining five thousand pages today, right?”
I asked because I thought it would take a very long time if there were 5,000 photos no matter how quickly I selected them.
“Of course not. “Today, I’m thinking about how about a ceiling.”
Risa Minamoto shook her head as if of course it was not. And she immediately posted her first photo. There was me, a blonde, sitting smiling under a maple tree.
Is this more embarrassing than before? Previously, I was just looking for pictures that were blurry, shaky, or with my eyes closed, but this time I had to look closely.
“Hmm… I like it.”
“Ryu Tachi’s smile seems pervert. Good.”
“I agree too.”
“I like the teacher too.”
“I like Dad’s photo!
“I’m no good? Men need to be stronger! “Are there any photos of you topless?”
Almost everyone agreed, but only Kina Kujo, who was trying to strip me, was against. No, there aren’t many pictures of him naked, so what is he doing naked?
