Chapter 62

In the end we splitted into 3 parties .

Tamaki and Mia with 2 other students who can use Fire Magic, formed the Giant Wasp interception party .

Arisu and Shiki-san and a few guards formed the team to level the new people to level 1 .

Only Mia and I are left at the Cultivating Centre .

Though I said so, my main job is to use 《Summon Weapons》 and 《Summon Armour》 of Summon Magic and use《Hard Weapon》 and 《Hard Armour》 to strengthen my companions’ combat power .

And to use the resting time to recover my MP .

「Since the enemies that can fly are here, actually I really feel like training up people who could use bows…… but it seems like we do not have the time . 」

That was what Shiki-san said .

Hence I had to summon out a lot of throwing spears .

Throwing a spear belongs to Spear Skill .

The javelins summoned using Rank 4 《Summon Weapons》 is better than the orcs’, and the distance they flew is not bad .

If they throw it with all their might, it can even reach the top of the trees .

And with 《Hard Weapon》, it should be very effective against the giant wasps .

Though I said it, just summoning 10 javelins and adding 《Hard Weapon》 on them will use 80MP .

Now I am level 18, so recovering so many MP requires about 45 mins of rest .

But that is not all, I still have to add 《Hard Armour》 on everyone’s gym clothes .

And prepare other armours . Especially for those who are heading to the frontlines… . . .

After doing a bit of the work, it is time for breakfast .

Using the electricity from the generator, the cooking society prepared hot rice and miso soup .

They added dashi so it is very delicious . (TL note: dashi = japanese stock for soup)

Then after that, everyone headed out .

I gave the large shield to Tamaki who came to the lounge after getting dressed .

This is a giant type of shield which can cover the whole body, called Tower Shield

「Tamaki, take this . When the giant wasp shoot their stingers, you can use this to protect everyone . 」

「Wow, what a big shield…… Should I learn Shield Skill?」

「No need to, test if you can use it . Since this is just a test, Tamaki who has Physical 1 is the most suitable to do so . 」

While saying, I saw Mia who was hugging her arm when Tamaki answered with a “Mmm”

After a night, the arm that was attached back for Mia does not seem to have any problem .

Seems like we can relax .

Mia understood games very well .

No, although in reality we are left at the side, but her gamer thoughts are still very reliable .

We could get many ideas and hints from them .

「Kazu-san, this shield is not made of wood . 」

Mia knocked on the Tower Shield and raised her head to look at me .

「But it is still quite light . Then this kind of material should be fine . And I added 《Hard Armour》 , so it should be able to guard against the stingers . 」

「Mm, so we will hide behind to release Fire Magic . 」

「Then we will follow this . Mia, I will depend on you to lead everyone . 」

Mia nodded strongly with a “Mmm” .

「Leave it to me」

While Tamaki tilted her head and said “ah, isn’t Kazu-san anticipating my leadership ability?”

No no, that, mm .

「Tamaki is rash and gets carried away easily, so she is not suitable as a leader . 」

Ah, Mia is really straightforward .

Tamaki became down in an instant .

Hence I had to console her immediately .

「There is no need, Kazu-san . I understand it myself . 」

「Tamaki… . . . 」

「Keeping work and private separated is the noble part of Kazu-san . 」

Tamaki raised her head and smiled lively .

Not being down is also considered as one of her good points .

I scratched the back of my head and smiled bitterly .

「Yes, if you are biased on such stuff, then you may kill someone . 」

Until now, in these 2 days, I have realised this point clearly .

To the extent that I hated myself .

Today I have to do it better than yesterday .

On the other side, the party that has Arisu and Shiki-san as the core, was very quiet .

There are 6 level 0 students, including the 2 spear-user girls that had been guards before, along with the 2 of them .

Although the total is about 10 people, but they set off from the lounge with alot of discipline .

「Ah, Arisu . 」

I called out to her without thinking .

Currently Arisu is holding a javelin that I summoned in her left hand .

That is the counter measure against the giant wasps .

The rest of the girls, took the remaining 9 javelins .

This javelins could be used to kill the orcs, and just in case, they could also be handed over to Arisu and the others for dealing against the giant wasps . This is that kind of plan .

「What is it, Kazu-san?」

「That… . . . 」

I turned my sight to Shiki-san who was beside with a troubled look .

Shiki-san smiled and said something to Arisu beside her ears .

Arisu mumbled with an “ah”, and ran to my side .

She stopped before me with her hands behind her, and slightly leaning her body to the side, and looked at me with a face full of smiles .

「That, I am heading out, Kazu-san . 」

「Take care Arisu…… Be careful . 」

「Yes . Please relax . I wouldn’t disappear like that again . So, that . 」

「Hmm, I believe you . 」

Shiki-san who was behind Arisu, is smiling now .

My thoughts of whether if she will disappear just like that, when I saw Arisu’s figure that is about to leave, was completely seen through by Shiki-san .

Really, this irritating girl .

But forget it .

Arisu quickly kissed my cheek .

We look at each other for a short moment .

「Then . 」

「Okay then . 」

I know that everyone in the surrounding who said this passionate scene will have a bitter smile that has “what should I do with you two” in it .

Tamaki and Mia too .

So troubling, although it is kind of bad to Tamaki…… Hmm, really uneasy about it .

Although it is troubling, all of you can just laugh .

I have already decided to accept myself who is like this .

No matter how embarrassing or how ugly I will seem, I have decide to continue on my chosen path .

That is the path where Arisu, Tamaki and everyone in the Cultivating Centre will move forward together .

Arisu and Tamaki will heal my broken inner heart .

Everyone from the Cultivating Centre warmly welcome us who had disappeared .

They will not betray me .

As for what happened yesterday night, they have already told me in their own way .

So I will move forward together with them .

Arisu and Shiki-san set off first .

Tamaki and Mia had moved out first before turning back to me again…… they ran back .

「What is it, Tamaki, Mia . 」

「Indeed Kazu-san, I want it too . 」

「Mmm . 」

Tamaki and Mia kissed my 2 cheeks and ran off to the entrance .

Then waved at me before leaving .

The rest of the girls gave me an ah ah expression while looking at me .

I lowered my head in apology to them .

「Seems like the person also realised that this is a big problem in ethics . 」

「Regarding this, I wish to hear about it . About what happened yesterday . 」

Some girl came over for a conversation .

I had thought who it was, when I took a look, it was a girl called Suginomiya Sumire .

A common friend of Arisu and Tamaki .

She is a slightly plump girl, and her hair had reached her chest, with a frameless glasses .

From a look, it makes one think that she is a literature girl and in actuality she is a frequent guest of the library .

Then it is normal for her to be close with Arisu .

As for Tamaki…… Maa, as long as you can give Tamaki a good impression then it will be fine .

From her point of view, I am a person who became the lover of both her good friends at the same time .

It felt that I have became the bad guy .

From an objective point, it can’t be helped if I am targeted .

Sumire laughed bitterly .

At least it seems to me that she does not have any ill intentions .

「Kazu-san . You are acting just like the hero in the story . I feel that you will be better if you are slightly more positive and confident . 」

「The hero in the story huh?」

This time, it was me who laughed bitterly .

If she said what I was like yesterday, she probably would not have said so .

Struggling desperately, then in the end, because of some misunderstanding, then abandoning everything and escaping .

No matter what, such a person can’t be called a hero .

「Even so, you are still back . And with Arisu and Tamaki . 」

「Tamaki grabbed me by the neck and told me to just save Arisu . 」

「Then that proves that you 3 are inseparable . Maybe if you include Mia, then it will be 4 . 」

Sumire said while hiding her laughter .

「Since Arisu and Tamaki loves you, then I can only give my well wishes . I hope that they can become happy . 」

「Is that so . 」

「As for the others, I don’t know about that . But that is what I feel . 」

That was what Sumire said .

A confident reply that was unlike her jittery self yesterday .

Hmm, with their relations, she should have know something that the others don’t .

No, if you considered what was said yesterday, then it would have been so .

Arisu is connected to Tamaki is some ways .

Both of them have some careless parts, but when it is at the crucial moments then they will both consider the other party .

I feel that when Arisu betrayed us, that was what Tamaki thought .

No matter what happens, Tamaki will always believe in Arisu .

In the end, Tamaki woke me up .

I am slightly envious .

I do not have friends that I can trust like that .

Until now, I have always been betrayed .

So I am especially envious of the bonds between them .

Sumire lowered her head .

「Perhaps I am over worrying, then Arisu and Tamaki will depend on you . 」

Saying, she smiled .
