World Record

[T-That was scary......]

After that, Ayame entered her room and said those words.

Iwato looks gentle usually, but he"s terrifying if he"s mad.

Ayame thinks so and wipes her tears, and--

[Oh my! What"s wrong, Ayame-chan?]

After all, this is Ayame"s room. And also, this room was properly locked, and above all, the security of the Special Forces dormitory is flawless. And yet, Minister Kanekura somehow is in the room.

Ayame somehow swallowed those words that she wanted to say, and sighs upon looking at the airhead superior"s words. And, she tries to get away from the room--

[Ayame-chan, you made Iwato mad, didn"t you?]

Twitch!

--Why do you know about it?

(TL note: Kanekura referred herself as Okaasan which means Mother in the second sentence.)

Although Ayame somewhat heard something weird in those words, she opened her eyes wide after hearing the message sent from Iwato.

[Eh? I-Iwato-sama......No, Iwato-san said that......?]

[I-Is that so!?]

Although it can be understood just by thinking it a little, for Ayame who thought of Iwato as scary if he"s angry, she only knew it after she"s told.

When thinking so, she finally realizes Iwato"s mental strength to the extent that he didn"t show his emotions on the surface, and his tolerance of solving things with words.

After Ayame thought of that, she started to think that she was the one at fault, and she drop her shoulders.

[I"m......to blame. I don"t remember how many times I said that person"s name in front of Iwato-san, and I called him the King of Black Coffin at the very beginning]

[Ugu......Y-Yes]

Ayame groaned instinctively by Minister Kanekura"s words, but she opened her eyes wide by the words after that.

[And also, Ayame-chan, you were saved by Iwato, right? From the Black Crest Group. And--responsibility]

Those words dragged out the guilty conscience to the surface from her heart.

If Iwato didn"t appear there, they probably would set fire to the park first. And that responsibility will surely fall onto Ayame herself.

And, Ayame apologized while knowing the fact. She prioritized her own desire before showing grat.i.tude. As a result, she haven"t apologize nor showing grat.i.tude.

When she met the King of Black Coffin for the first time and was saved.

Ayame thought--Am I going to repeat the same mistake again?

Ayame closes her eyes.

[Oh? You don"t want to search for Black Pandora? I might give you a hand because I"m feeling good now]

Ayame suddenly laughed after hearing Minister Kanekura"s words.

Minister Kanekura who saw her back figure loosens her face and laughs. Then, she calls out to her.

[Ayame-chan, don"t you want to go to school again?]

Monday.

Karen is filling her mouth with the onigiri bought by the students in charge of feeding her since morning, and Eita left his homework at home, so he"s running back to get it. He will not make it in time for sure.

Ding dong--

The chime rang, and after that, Nakajima-sensei enters the cla.s.s.

When Iwato is thinking so in his mind, he felt a somewhat familiar and unpleasant feeling from Nakajima-sensei. And she began to speak in a rather soft voice.

[Ah, before the greetings, that. A student transferred to here after being an exchange student. But this time, a transfer student has came to this cla.s.s. Be grateful guys because it"s a very beautiful girl]

[Shh! Karen, it"s an order. Don"t speak to me until I let you]

[Ah, it"s okay. I"ll introduce myself]

When the fourteen years old girl who said that, raises her index finger, a chalk coiled with a red light and the textbook that Iwato"s holding, move suddenly.

[AAAAH!]

☆☆☆

This is also through connection, huh? The window seat at the most back--in other words, Ayame who have became Iwato"s neighbor, came to Iwato and bowed her head.

[Iwato-sama! Thank you for saving me at that time! And, I"m sorry!]

Everyone in the cla.s.s looked at Iwato with a puzzled look by those words, and Eita laughed with veins in his head. That is surely shows that he wants to say 『What is this? You better explain』.

[T-Thank you, Iwato-sama!]

Iwato"s face twitches instinctively when she called him with 『-sama』.

[......Isn"t it a little related?]

[Roger. I will pretend that it"s like that]

Although the words were strangely sounded with profound meaning, Karen interrupted them from the side before Iwato can say something.

[W-Wait! Why is an unrelated person talking to Master before this pupil here!? That sin deserves a certain death!]

What sin? First time hearing it, though.

[Wha!? Why are you meeting mother-in-law before me!? Or rather, don"t call me without honorifics!]

[In that case, it"s the same as everyone!?]

Although Karen shouted so, it doesn"t concern Ayame at all.

[Master!? Why I"m not......]

[Roger!]

Karen who was completely submissive to Iwato.

[Ah, I have tried Overdye SRB]

And also, Ayame didn"t stop there--

[Come to think of it, recently, I"m addicted to melon soda......]

And, Tsumugu"s mail appeared on the screen, and there were two words written on it saying 『I allow』. The two who were easily bribed.

Just like that, the number of freeloader increased by one in the Nagumo"s house.
