Chapter 29

「I trust you, our party need someone like you who have leadership abilities. For the sake of uniting everyone, I hope you will move accordingly.」

「I understand, I will do my best to work for you. Just wait, I will create an organisation which can give you your needed support, handle the troubles that you may bring and allow everyone to live together.」

Shiki-san continued:

「Hence, you must also attain the strength that can counter whatever that happens successfully.」

We all knew that even if we do not say it out, that all these actions are based on a premise—— that there will not be any support.

If the teachers in the middle school section are safe, they would have contacted us long ago. The worst scenario is that even the high school section are completely wiped out.

Or there is still a possibility, which is that they are not united like us, and end up going against each other, becoming separated.

While we have Shiki-san, the talented girl who is willing to step aside and promote me as leader and unite everyone. Even if it is the high school section, there may not be a student or teacher as talented who survived.

Only a person who leveled to level 1 can survive in such a tough environment; a person can only improve his strength steadily by forming a group and training others to grow.

The worst is that, the people who can reach level 1 currently, perhaps are the people who are in the Cultivating Centre only.

We have to unite everyone who is level 1 and above, and form an organisation who have the same will, if not we will be annihilated.

No, people whose level are like me and Arisu, will perhaps have the method to continue to escape in a person or 2 team. When my level reaches 50, perhaps my familiar will be able to restrain the rocs. But with just this, it is probably not enough.

Even if it is just assumption, but these orcs are definitely just a vanguard.

Why is there a white room? Why are we transported to another world with the entire mountain? It is strange with just these stupid orcs suddenly appearing in this school.

There is still「something」hiding behind this event.

This is definitely only the beginning.

Even the orcs’ attacks is also a preparation period for the real arrival of the disaster. Shiki-san’s words are obviously hinting this as a premise.

The organisation created to handle the future, is mainly constituted of the people who supports the elite few with me as leader. Shiki-san also express to me that she will lead the support team, and take the role of the villain to handle the troublesome issue.

Why didn’t she say out these words yesterday or in the morning?

「After coming to another world, don’t even mention internet, there isn’t even anything.」

「Yes.」

「Then again, I do not know if I will survive pass today, in fact I am not even sure I will be alive 2 hours later. Ah, don’t get it wrong, I will only rant in this place, outside I will still pretend to be a leader who is full of confidence.」

So you have to maintain your confident state—— this is her hidden words.

「But from another point of view, I entered the Tea Ceremony Society because of minding other people’s views, that’s why I am still alive, this perhaps is also a good thing. 」

After experiencing that sort of thing, and still could say「good thing」? Even if it’s me, I can’t. Shiki-san seems to feel my doubts from my atmosphere, and she maintained the posture of hugging her chest, and lightly shrugged her shoulders.

「As for the high school section having any survivors, I did not have any hopes for it.」

「Is it?」

「Even if there are survivors, I don’t even know if there is 1 out of 10 people. And perhaps there are a few being captured by orcs now?」

Hmm, considering the difficulty of raising everyone to level 1, it is indeed so…… My feelings could not help but turn dark. I really wish to send the crows to the high school section to scout as fast as possible, but currently there isn’t any leftover energy and time to handle such matters……

If there is leftover energy, then I wish to send the crow to scout each dorm in the middle school section.

「Right——」

Shiki-san said.

「Can I call you Kazu-kun?」

Meaning she wish to show that she is close with me in front of others? Currently this group is a group of juniors ruled by me and Shiki-san. The leaders calling each others’ close name should bring them a sense of ease. (TL note: in japan, they usually call each other by their surname until they are close enough to call them by their names. So it’s a sign of being close.)

「No problem, I don’t mind. But I want to call you Shiki-san like as always.」

「Ah, the girls in class also call me so, who told『Yukariko』to be so hard to be spoken.」

That saying, I remember the girls in class did call her Shiki-san.

「Ah, I did not hate my own name. Although I feel it is old fashion, feels super old.」

Isn’t that the meaning of hate? I wish to tsukkomi but since it’s regarding such a troublesome topic that is names, hence I choose to be silent.

「But as long as you want to, if it’s Yukariko, Yukari or Yukarin is fine.」

「Shiki-san is better.」

Right—— Shiki-san smiled.

「That’s all, please take care of me, Kazu-kun.」

Shiki-san reached out to me with her hand again, and I took it without any hesitation.

「Ah, there is no need to force yourself to become closer with me at such times. When we are alone, it is fine to call me pathetic orcs’ hole.」

「It is about time for your self-sarcasm to stop.」

Shiki-san stick her tongue out and laugh naughty. She can show herself as being so brave, her strong heart can indeed be quite dependable……

Finally—— Shiki-san said.

「In this battle, other than your party, the others will be commanded by me. Other than the elite party, I will accept the authority to order the other members, is that fine?」

What does that mean? I tilted my head in doubt.

「The meaning is, you only need to think about how to protect the lives of Arisu, Tamaki and Mia.」

「It is fine for me…… But why?」

Shiki-san lifted her hair in silence, seeing her sorrowful eyes, I understood immediately.

「Your meaning is that our companions will die? And I will be unable to handle that guilt?」

「Just an assumption only. But if things really happen, you will collapse due to guilt, and I will be troubled by it.」

「So that guilt will be shouldered by you?」

「I will endure it for you to see. As long as I thought about being raped by orcs before, then I feel that throwing away my companions after using them is nothing much.」

Lies—— I stared at her. How can she lie to me with that expression and sight? But Shiki-san showed a warm smile at me.

「Just said it’s in case, I only wish to consider the worst situation first. You and me, if one will die first…… Shouldn’t it be better if it’s me?」

I am unable to retort. From an objective point of view, what she said is the truth.
