Maybe I wouldn’t have to go to class legally.
The next morning, after a good night’s sleep, I came to Professor Tia’s research building with such hopes in mind.
I had asked permission to use this room, which would be my base of operations for living as a hermit at school, for the purpose of gaining permission to use it. But, the room had been used as a storage room and needed to be cleaned.
It’s a hassle, but it can’t be helped. However, if we send all the stuff we don’t want to, we can send it to the mysterious space-time and it’ll be cleaned up nicely.
It’s a corner room on the second floor.
The room is a corner room on the second floor, and I’m excited to see it.
“Good morning! Brother.”
With your arms rolled up and your hair pulled back in a single bun and your apron on if you’re
“Charl, what are you doing here?”
“I was told that this room will be brother’s base of operations from today. I’ve come to clean it.”
My angel Charlotte smiling at me. Well, we talked about that last night. She acts fast.
A red shadow pops up behind her.
“You can’t get away from it. Speaking of maids, it’s Frey. Leave the cleanup to me!”
The demoness, who had been thoroughly immersed in the maid duties, threw the huge piece of junk she was carrying into the hallway. What are you going to do with it?
“Oh, Haruto-san. Good morning.”
Now Lisa showed up. This one has a big piece of junk too and piled it up in the hallway. So that’s it … well, I’ll just get rid of it.
By the way, Lisa is hiding her horns and stuff, but Frey has chemo-ears and a tail just the way it is. I’m sure you don’t have to worry about it here.
I’m not going to be able to get rid of it, so I thought I’d help out as an older brother.
”Hmm~…? It’s a noisy morning.”
Rubbing her eyelids, Professor Tia came over, dressed in her pajamas. She was wearing a Santa hat-like nightcap on her head. She may have slept in bed unusually.
“Professor Tiarietta, good morning!”
When Char greeted her with a big smile, Professor Tia says dubiously.
”Ah, um … nice to meet you. Who are you?”
Well, it was the first time we’ve met Char herself. And the mysterious genius researcher, Weiss Owl, is supposed to be hiding his identity in a white mask. Well, it was obvious, but they’ve been able to match the story here.
However…
Char said, “Hmm? I nodded my head. After a moment, I huffed.
“It was nice to meet you! Yes, you and I have never met. Yes, I know. I am Charlotte Zenphis, your student’s sister.”
“…Nice to meet you too.”
While returning that, she comes up to me and whispers.
“Is she okay? I’m worried about a lot of things.”
“If you could just look at me with an open mind. And by the way, if you have any problems, you can help me clean up my mess.”
“Isn’t that your job? I don’t want to be the one to do it.”
I couldn’t leave Char, who looked so uncomfortable whispering to me, so I started to help her.
“Can I throw this junk away?”
“No, you can’t. I’m sure it will be of no use to you anymore, but I’m sure it will be of some use to you one day.”
“No, you’re not going to use it, are you? Let’s get rid of it.”
“What a waste!”
“It’s a waste of space.”
Over the objections of the useless professor who can’t get rid of them, I throw the junk into the mysterious space-time.
“Storage spell!? How did you do it!?”
It got even louder.
I’m not going to be able to say a word about it.
“Ano, Haruto-sama? Can I show her ancient magic?”
Come to think of it, I hadn’t told Professor Tia that I confessed I was Shiva.
“It’s okay. We’re working that part out nicely.”
“Yes. Well, if Haruto-sama says so, that’s a relief.”
I can see the look in your eyes as you believe me. I don’t mind if we talk, but the timing is just not right.
Anyway, as long as the four of us work together, the cleaning process is quick and easy. The floor, the walls, and even the ceiling are spotless. It’s a bit bigger than our dorm room. But there’s nothing in the room.
I take out a bed and a chest of drawers from mystery space-time and arrange them. The very excited Professor Tia was strangled by Frey in the wings.
Now, the base is almost ready to go. All that’s left is to connect my paradise and this room with the‘door to nowhere’.
We’ll do that after Professor Tia is gone. I don’t want to be barged into paradise.
It’s still a little early for lunch, but we all go to the large room and devour the lunch that Frey has made for us.
“By the way, did Professor Belkham do a good job?”
She should have taken the other teachers with her and liaised with the academy so that I wouldn’t have to attend classes.
What a rumor, if you ask me.
I heard the sound of a large walk down the hallway.
”Is Haruto Zenphis here?”
Professor Belkham, welcome.
“There you are. There you are. There are two unknown faces here. And that red hair over there… is it the demon race?”
Shimatta. Frey’s ears and tail are exactly as they should be.
“Maa I”
No problem.
“Thank you for your hard work, Professor Belkham. How is the negotiation going?”
“Umu. Well, that’s all going very well. The rest is up to you.”
“Thank you!”
So, now I can stay in school if I can do something like exploring the ruins.
“The headmaster will explain the details. I’m on my way.”
“W-What?!”
It’s not me who’s surprised. It was Professor Tia.
“Wait a minute. Ora-chan, I hope you’ve really reached a deal?”
“You said it would work? We’ve given the teachers what they want. The rector has been generally… understanding. He’ll make the final decision after hearing from Haruto Zenphis himself.”
Since I’m the one who decides whether or not to take the class or not, it seems obvious that it would be a hassle to hear it from him. However–
“Isn’t that mostly a failed negotiation?”
Professor Tia said oddly.
”Well, I’m sure Haruto Zenphis would have no problem with that.”
And why would Professor Belkham look away?
“…Didn’t the headmaster sound like a badass?”
I only saw her once when she greeted me at the entrance ceremony, but I think she was a genuine older sister (her real age seems to be quite a bit older). I was half asleep, so I don’t remember it well.
“It’s not that she has a twisted personality or anything, it’s just that she is such a straightforward person. I don’t think she’s a cynical person, but I’ve never known anyone with such a straightforward personality. There is one person in the room who could be compared to her, but he’s the complete opposite. And that’s why you’re not a match for her.”
Is the straight girl, Char? What’s the exact opposite of the strain?
“You only have to be careful about one thing.”
Professor Tia sticks his finger right up to the tip of my nose and says, “Act like a serious, hard-working student.”
Oh, yes. I can’t do that.
I managed to swallow the words–.
