Chapter 19

Last year

　　"Tomoya, did you watch the anime yesterday?" Hyakki Ryuji, who is only a third grade junior high school student, excitedly said to his friend, Aki Tomoya.

　　"Of course, my friend!" Tomoya also raised his glasses, with pride, ignoring the strange eyes of his classmates and discussing yesterday's anime with his best friend, Hyakki Ryuji.

　　"Although the screen conveys an atmosphere of poverty, the plot really makes up for it!" Tomoya also gave a good rating.

　　"Right, right, I've been waiting to buy a figure!" At that time, Ryuji was still a child who relied on his parents for living expenses, and had to work part-time jobs to earn money for the person he loved.

　　Other people in the otaku world wouldn't understand, and the two teenagers who weren't understood by the world hugged each other, keeping the small desire in their hearts.

　　A year later, Ryuji sees his former best friend again, feeling many emotions.

　　"Ryuji? Why are you here!" Tomoya stood up from his chair and shouted loudly.

　　Ryuji replied with a polite smile "Long time no see Tomoya, as you can see I'm here to go to school."

　　Tomoya was at a loss for words, and when his best friend met again after a year, he didn't know what to say for a while.

　　The surrounding students looked at this scene curiously. A girl with short hair and red eyes muttered, "A must-told secret between the mysterious transfer student and Tomoya-kun! Hehe..."

　　Ryuji shuddered, feeling an inexplicable evil attack.

　　The class bell rang, and the homeroom teacher named Hiratsuka Shizuka came into the class, and placed the book in her hand on the podium, breaking the students' spirits.

　　"This is already class, what are you doing!"

　　Under the class teacher's rebuke, the students returned to their seats one by one, only Ryuji was still standing alone.

　　Hiratsuka looked at Ryuji, pinched her brows helplessly, and said, "I remember your name is Hyakki Ryuji, why does the transfer student come alone to class instead of going to the office to look for Sensei?"

　　"Um..." Ryuji's forehead was covered with cold sweat, should the transfer student report first?

　　"Forget it, let's introduce yourself first." Hiratsuka was a good teacher, she would not make things difficult for students and expose these matters.

　　Hiratsuka-sensei is a good woman!

　　Ryuji sent a good person card to the teacher in his heart, walked to the podium, and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Hyakki Ryuji, and I transferred to Sobu High School for some personal reasons. I hope to live in the next college. I get along well with everyone."

　　For a casual and polite self-introduction, Ryuji can give himself full marks!

　　Applause sounded from the podium welcoming the new students.

　　"Hyakki just arrived at Sobu High School, so I need someone to show him the school." Hiratsuka took it, tucked her chin in, considering the candidates.

　　Although it wasn't troublesome to bring a new classmate to visit the school, it was better to say that if it was a beautiful girl, all the boys in the class would take this opportunity.

　　But unfortunately, Ryuji was not a beauty, nor was he a dazzling handsome man, the students weren't too interested in this matter.

　　Hayama Hayato who chatted with Ryuji when he first entered the classroom was a person that could be caught a glimpse. As the class president, he naturally had to show his current appearance. He planned to raise his hand and take the initiative to show Ryuji around the school.

　　But someone was one step ahead of him.

　　"Sensei, please leave this matter to me!" Tomoya also raised his hand and said loudly.

　　"Aki?" Hiratsuka was a little surprised, an otaku who only knows how to read light novels and play games is a big help!

　　"Wow, Aki-kun really has a hidden secret with a transfer student!" The girl with short hair and glasses fell into her own fantasy again.

　　Ryuji's face darkened, could it be that this girl likes BL?

　　"Then leave it to you." Hiratsuka left this task to Tomoya.

　　"Next is Hyakki's seat..." Hiratsuka looked around the classroom and found an empty seat, "Just sit behind Kato."

　　The Kato that Hiratsuka said was of course Kato Megumi. Even though Megumi had relatively low self-awareness, under those circumstances, it wasn't impossible for the teacher to call out her name.

　　On the other hand, some students looked at Megumi in surprise and said in a low voice, "There is still this person in our class."

　　Megumi is so pathetic!

　　"Yes." Ryuji walked to Megumi's side and said in a low voice, "Long time no see Megumi."

　　Though, it was only two days.

　　"I didn't expect Ryuji-kun to be my back table." Megumi had a faint smile on her face.

　　Seeing this smile, Ryuji felt greatly healed, and his heart, which had been restless because of Mashiro's incident, became peaceful.

　　Megumi is indeed an angel!

　　After arranging transfer students, Hiratsuka began teaching, the subject she taught was Japanese, which was considered a subject that Ryuji was relatively good at.

　　By the way, Ryuji stayed in Chaldea for a year and missed a year of studies, but it didn't make any difference.

　　Because he's an bastard.

　　The teacher made all kinds of hype on the podium, but Ryuji was hanging around in his chair. Sure enough, studying or something didn't suit him.

　　But he doesn't care, he comes to school just to experience everyday life.

　　He was the man who hugged the Hero King's thigh, so why worry about not being able to get a job and starve to death in the future!
