Shuchi'in Academy

In the schoolyard, currently, Yato who was holding his little sister was silent, as if he had remembered something that he shouldn't have forgotten. Meanwhile, in front of Yato is his mother who looks worried about Karen's condition in Yato's arms.

"Karen! Are you okay?!"

After hearing the worried screams from his mother who was in front of him, Yato immediately came back to reality. Meanwhile, from afar, an adult man was seen running towards Yato. The man is his father.

"Yato is Karen okay?! Wait, how did you get here?"

"Let's take her to the hospital."

"Calm down, Mom, Dad. Karen is fine. She's just asleep."

Seeing his very worried mother, Yato immediately answered and explained about Karen's situation. Meanwhile, his father was surprised by Yato who was at Karen's school.

"I'm here, because Karen called me. Luckily Karen noticed the terrorists who broke into the school and contacted me right away."

Yato starts making excuses about him being at Karen's school.

"After learning of the existence of terrorists who came to her school, Karen and two of her friends immediately hid in the warehouse in the corner of the school."

Then, Yato began to explain the situation Karen was in.

"Perhaps, because she was mentally exhausted. When I arrived she fell asleep immediately. Give Karen time to rest at home and she'll be back to normal." Yato said.

"Oh, I see. Then let's go back to the house." Yato's father said.

"Yes, yes. Let's go back." Yato's mother exclaimed, still looking worried about Karen's condition.

After that, the four of them went into the car. Yato put Karen in the back seat, covered her body with his blazer, and fastened her seat belt.

Yato's mother, who was still worried about Karen's condition, chose to sit in the back seat with Karen. Meanwhile, Yato's father got into the car in the driver's seat.

After everything was safe, Yato closed the back door and remained standing beside the car.

"Why don't you come in Yato? Get in the car quickly." Yato's father who saw it was confused and told Yato to get in the car quickly.

"Ah, no need, I'll go back to my school first. Because I left suddenly without permission and my stuff is still at school. I'll be home alone later."

Yato said that he would go back to his school for permission and pick up things. Though, he was thinking of a way to solve the problem he created for using [Teleport] in front of Kamaishi and Komi.

"So that's how it is, then we'll go first. Be careful on Yato's journey."

"Be careful, Yato."

After hearing Yato's reasoning, Yato's father and mother understood and decided to go home first.

"Yes, Father, Mother. You guys also be careful."

Yato answered and waved his hand gently. After that, Yato's father's car immediately started and rushed to their house.

Meanwhile, Yato who lived in front of the academy gate started walking towards his school. Yato started looking for a quiet place to use [Teleport]. After walking for a while, Yato found a dark and deserted alley.

Yato entered the alley and started using his skills.

[Teleport]

POV Yato

When I reached the roof of my school using the [Teleport] skill, I appeared right behind the two girls. What I saw were two girls who looked panicked, confused, and looked like they were going to cry at any moment.

These two girls were Kamaishi and Komi who were frantically walking around the school roof as if the two of them were looking for something… or someone.

Ahh, what have I done. I feel so guilty for making these two innocent girls like this. Huff, what should I say now?

'haa'

"Hey, Kamaishi, Komi. What are you doing?"

When I said that, Kamaishi and Komi who were in front of me straightened up and turned around with trembling bodies.

Their facial expressions were full of worry and their eyes were already wet. As if they could cry at any moment. After seeing me, the two of them immediately ran towards me.

""Kamiya-kun/san?!""

Whoa, even Komi can scream like that, although it's not as loud as other people when she screams. At least, her voice can be equated with the voice when other people speak normally. ' and if Kamaishi's voice can be said to be cute. Then Komi's voice can be said to be very beautiful.'

If they both become singers, I think they will become very famous. With their appearance and sound. Ah, I got distracted again…

""A-Are you okay Kamiya-kun/san?!""

In fact, they were talking about the same thing, at the same time. Since when did they become in sync like this.

"Relax, okay. I'm fine… sorry to make you worry." I said while trying to calm them both down. But, that doesn't seem to work.

"H-how did you disappear Kamiya-kun!"

"T-that's right, you disappeared Kamiya-san?!"

"What happened to you?!"

"We couldn't find you, Kamiya-san."

"Whoa, calm down first, okay." Seeing the two of them who were extremely panicked and started talking non-stop. I tried to calm them down.

I put my hands on each of their heads. After I did that, Kamashi and Komi immediately fell silent. They seem to have calmed down a bit. Even though their panicked faces turned red in an instant.

Their 'too cute' faces are very expressive.

As I calmed the two of them down, I tried to come up with an acceptable excuse in this situation. Or should I tell them that I can use magic.

But well, even though I trust them, really trust them both. Even though I believe, these two good girls won't spread such things. But, I guess the fewer people know about magic in the modern world the better.

Well, even if they spread it, probably no one would believe in the supernatural. Maybe, or maybe not… if Komi did it, there would probably be a lot of people believing… it was scary.

Well, maybe I'll tell them… in the future. I think it's too soon for that right now. Besides, I've only known them for a few days. Let's do it slowly.

But, what should I tell them?

I kept racking my brain using the [Parallel Thinking] skill, after thinking for 2 seconds in the real world, but a few minutes in my mind. I found an answer that both of them would probably believe… maybe… hopefully.

"Alright, alright. Do not Cry. I'm not going anywhere. Etto… Actually, I was just learning… magic tricks."

""Magic tricks?""

The two girls who heard it tilted their heads with confused expressions. 'Ugh, so cute.' I felt guilty trying to lie to these two cute girls.

"Yes, right. magic. You know… I saw it on the internet last night and I thought… that's cool, so I gave it a try. He he" I continued my explanation while scratching the back of my head.

Listen to the explanation I gave. Kamaishi and Komi didn't hesitate in the slightest, or… they knew I was lying and chose to ignore it.

But one thing is for sure, they are both very good girls. Their future husband would be the luckiest person in this world.

"Well, that… sorry to make you guys worry. Instead, how about I treat the two of you? Maybe Sunday? We can go where you want."

After I said that. Kamaishi and Komi who heard it looked surprised and their faces immediately turned red. 'Hah? Why are they both embarrassed?'

"R-Really?! W-What is that- D-Dating?" Kamaishi exclaimed in a surprised, embarrassed, and… hopeful voice?

"D-Dating." Komi muttered as she covered her mouth shyly.

After seeing their reaction, I realized it. So because of that, they became embarrassed.

"The three of us will go, can it be called a date?" I answered while scratching my cheek.

"T-That's right." Kamaishi muttered in a small voice and a very red face. She was too embarrassed and covered her red face.

As for Komi, well, I can't say anything more. When I looked at her, she immediately looked away, her face was very red and there was smoke coming out of her head.

I don't know what these two girls are thinking and I don't want to know. But for sure, they are too cute. So cute, that I thought the two of them weren't real humans.

Somehow I feel lucky today. I can hug Karen in super-duper cute dere mode. And here, I get to see two girls with a beauty that can bring down a country, looking shy and they're very, very cute.

'Today I have seen three fairies who came down from heaven.'

If I died now, I wouldn't complain at all.

…

Well, I don't want to die so soon.

"Well, if you don't want it. Then, no problem."

""I want?!"" Kamaishi and Komi immediately shouted in panic.

"Well, fine. Then Sunday, four days from now."

""Un"" they nodded their heads excitedly.

After making an appointment with Kamaishi and Komi, the three of us immediately fell silent and the atmosphere became awkward. Okay, maybe awkward for me. While they look more embarrassed than awkward.

I don't know what else to say, I have no experience with girls, geez.

"Oh, right. Can we exchange cell phone numbers, so I can contact you more easily?"

"R-Right. Let's do it." Kamaishi said shyly.

I immediately took out my smartphone from my pocket and dialed Kamaishi's number. Since Kamaishi left her cellphone in the bag, I just entered the number into my smartphone and dialed the number later.

"Cellphone?" Meanwhile, Komi just tilted her head in confusion and stared at the smartphone in my hand with curious eyes.

"Komi, don't you have a cellphone?" I asked Komi who looked confused.

*shakes*shakes*

Komi who heard my question just shook her head. So, she doesn't have a cellphone.

"What about flip phones?"

*shakes*

'Oh, I see'

"Well, it doesn't matter. How about we go back to class?"

Hearing my words, Kamaishi and Komi immediately widened their eyes, they were both shocked as if they just realized something. What's wrong with them?

"It is true! Lunchtime is long over!"

"Un. We have to go back to class now."

Kamaishi immediately shouted. Meanwhile, Komi nodded her head in agreement and suggested hurrying back to class in a small voice.

So I see, because of me we were late for class.

"But, if the class had started earlier. What should we say to the teacher?" I asked.

"Eh, that… I don't know."

Kamaishi became confused after hearing my question.

After a while, we decided to go to class even though it was late. Well, to be more precise Kamaishi and Komi forced me to return to class. I feel, if you're late, it's better to just skip class.

But, Kamaishi and Komi refused. They said it was not good to skip class and they started dragging me back to class.

After arriving in front of class 1-1, we knocked and opened the classroom door. After that, the three of us entered the classroom.

Instantly the whole class stared at the three of us. Or rather they looked at me with sharp eyes. Sensing the intense stares of the whole class, Kamaishi and Komi immediately hid behind me.

It seemed they were scared and if you looked closely, Komi's eyes even started to tear up. Even though I didn't read Komi's mind, she must be thinking that people are starting to hate her.

The class teacher started asking the reason for our lateness.

I just scratched my head and replied that kamaishi wasn't feeling well at lunch. So, we went to the school health unit to ask for medicine. I don't know why I feel like I'm getting used to lying, maybe.

Hearing the excuse I gave, the class teacher forgave us and told us to sit down immediately. After that, the class continued as usual. Kamaishi and Komi were focused on the lesson. And I started sleeping on the table as usual.

What was different was that the students in the class were still looking at me with sharp eyes as if blaming me for something. Even I feel the killing intent directed at me.

Today's children can even emit such a murderous aura. Maybe she is a hidden psychopath. I have to keep Kamaishi and Komi away from that person.

With that thought, I began to sleep comfortably on the table.

- - -

In the afternoon, after school. All students have gone home from school leaving three students who are still in the classroom.

Currently, in-class 1-1, two girls are seen shaking the body of a male student who is sleeping on the table. The three students are Yato, Kamaishi, and Komi.

""Wake up Kamiya-kun/san.""

Currently, Kamaishi and Komi are trying to wake up Yato with all their might. After a while, Yato who was sleeping on the table started to wake up.

"Ngh, Fuaah…"

Yato started to open his eyes and yawned while stretching his body.

"Gnuu, As usual, it was very difficult to wake you Kamiya-kun."

"Un, un."

Seeing Yato who had woken up from his sleep. Kamaishi and Komi started to complain about having trouble waking Yato up.

Yato who had come to his senses glanced at Kamaishi and Komi who was looking at him with despicable eyes.

"Hmm, is it time to go home? You don't have to wait for me, you know."

Yato started stashing his things into the bag while talking.

"Of course, we want to go home with you. Kamiya-kun is stupid." whispered Kamaishi who turned her gaze to the side.

After he finished storing his things, Yato stood up and tried to pretend not to hear Kamaishi's whispers.

"Alright, let's go back." Yato said while smiling gently at the two girls in front of him.

""Un""

Kamaishi and Komi who saw Yato's smile nodded their heads gently and glanced down. Maybe they were both shy and hiding their red faces or something.

Yato didn't really care about that and started walking out sleepily followed by two girls on either side. Maybe Yato was getting used to the behavior of the two of them.

Under the dusk rays, Yato who was walking leisurely with two beautiful girls by his side began to be noticed by pedestrians around. Kamaishi and Komi who looked embarrassed walked over with their heads down.

Meanwhile, Yato just ignores the people around him. Yato didn't really understand why they were embarrassed by things like this. No one spoke on the way home, but Yato didn't feel awkward.

After a while, the three of them arrived in front of Komi's house.

"Then, see you tomorrow, Komi."

"See you tomorrow, Komi-san."

"Un, see you tomorrow."

Yato and Kamaishi said while waving their hands gently. Komi nodded and waved her hand back. Komi entered her house while trotting, she looks adorable.

After seeing Komi enter her house. Yato and Kamaishi started walking again.

"In that case, I'll be coming this way Kamiya-kun."

After arriving at the crossroads. Since their houses were on different roads, Kamaishi stopped and wanted to say goodbye.

'If you look at this the road to Karen's school. there just was a terrorist attack there, I think I should take Kamaishi to her house.' Yato looked at the intersection and realized that the road leading to Kamaishi's house was the same as the road leading to Karen's school. Seeing this, Yato decided to take Kamaishi to her house.

"I'll take you to your house Kamaishi." Say Yato

"E-Eh- Eeeeeeeh."

Hearing Yato want to take her home, Kamaishi was shocked and her face immediately turned red. Instantly, Kamaishi became embarrassed and started imagining strange things in her head.

"Let's go." Yato who saw Kamaishi's reaction wasn't too surprised anymore. Maybe getting used to it or maybe just not wanting to think about it much. Yato just ignored her and walked through Kamaishi's path.

"Y-Yes."

After hearing Yato's voice, Kamaishi came back to reality and started walking by Yato's side. If you look closely, Kamaishi looks happy and has a pure smile on her face. Unfortunately, Yato didn't pay attention to that.

After a few minutes of walking, they arrived in front of Kamaishi's house.

"Thank you Kamiya-kun. See you tomorrow."

"Un, see you tomorrow Kamaishi."

After saying farewell, Kamaishi immediately ran into her house. Yato who saw it just smiled and walked away. Since Yato was walking in a different direction, Yato decided to take a detour.

Yato continued walking while opening a group chat on his smartphone. Yato started to read the conversation the others had had.

Because there has been no mission given by the Chat Group, all members just have empty talks. Although, they plan to meet in the [Meeting Room], because some members are still quite busy in their respective worlds. So, they have not had time to meet in person.

After reading the chat from the others, Yato put his smartphone into his pants pocket. Yato continued to walk leisurely while enjoying the dusk sky.

When Yato passed Shuchi'in Academy. He saw that the school was closed with a police line, maybe Karen's school would be closed for the next few days.

Yato passed by Karen's school and continued on his way. On the way Yato sees Iori's bakery, remembering his younger sister who just had a bad incident this afternoon. Yato decides to buy Cake for Karen.

Then Yato opened the door of Iori's bakery and entered the shop.

*ring rings*

The shop doorbell rang as Yato opened the door.

"Welcome."

The bakery employee immediately greeted Yato from behind the counter. Yato looked at the bakery employee, a young man of Yato's age with average height, long black hair above his shoulders, and pale skin. 'Have I seen him? For some reason, I felt that he was similar to me. He looks anti-social.'

Yato looked at the bread or cakes that were still available in the shop window. Only a few breads and cakes were left in the shop window. It seems because in the afternoon, there are only a few breads and cakes left.

Yato started walking towards the display case and saw the strawberry shortcake. What's left of the strawberry cake is 5 shortcakes and one shortcake for one person.

'If I remember correctly, Karen loves Strawberry cake. Maybe I'll buy it.' Yato thought.

"Strawberry cake, how much is it?"

"Ah, that's one Strawberry cake for 880 yen Kamiya-kun."

'800 yen, quite expensive for a shortcake.'

"Okay, I'll take it all- hmm, wait, do you know me?"

Hearing his name being called by the bakery employee, Yato was immediately surprised and looked at the bakery worker confusedly.

"Of course. Kamiya-kun, I don't think there's anyone who doesn't know you at school."

"Hah?" Yato who heard the bakery employee's answer became even more confused.

"And also I'm Miyamura, your classmate you know." The bakery clerk continued.

After hearing that the bakery clerk in front of him was his classmate. The confused Yato started to pay close attention to his face. Even though Yato always ignores the class and the class students. However, Yato still tried to remember the faces of his classmates, even though he didn't remember their names.

"A-Anoo."

The shop clerk who was staring intensely at Yato became nervous. After a while Yato seemed to realize something. If this was an anime, a light might appear above Yato's head.

'I see, he is the man sitting in front of Kamaishi's table. What's his name again…'

"Ah, Megane (glasses)." Yato said while hitting his palm.

"M-Megane?"

"Yeah, you're the bespectacled guy sitting in front of Kamaishi, right? When you take off your glasses, you look different." Yato said to clarify the meaning of what he said earlier. "More importantly, what do you mean there can't be anyone who doesn't know me at school?"

Yato started asking other things that caught his attention. When hearing Yato's explanation, the bakery employee- Miyamura became silent and speechless.

"A-Ah, eto… you know, there's been a rumor about the sleeping prince getting two of the three prettiest girls in class 1-1."

After aware, Miyamura immediately answered Yato's question and explained the rumors circulating at school.

'Prince sleeping? is that me?'

Hearing this, this time it was Yato who was silent and speechless.

"By the way, we haven't been properly acquainted. I'm Kamiya Yato, you can call me Yato. Nice to meet you Miyamura." Yato said while extending his hand. Yato chose to ignore the rumors earlier.

"Ah, my name is Miyamura Izumi, you can call me Izumi too, Y-Yato-kun." Seeing Yato extending his hand, Miyamura immediately shook his head and reflexively called out his first name.

In Japan, the first name is usually only used by close people. While people who just know each other usually have to mention their family name.

However, Yato who didn't care about such things and Miyamura Izumi who didn't have many acquaintances accidentally passed these manners.

"Alright, Izumi. I'll take all the remaining Strawberry shortcakes."

"A-ah, ok Yato-kun. 5 Strawberry shortcakes. All 4,400 Yen."

Yato then took out his wallet and paid 4,500 Yen to Izumi.

"This is it."

"Okay, 100 yen change. Thank you for the purchase."

"Okay thank you. See you tomorrow Izumi."

After getting the cake and change, Yato immediately left while bidding farewell to Izumi.

"Y-Yes, see you tomorrow Yato-kun."

Today at the bakery, by accident, two anti-social men become friends.
