Chapter 161: Ordinary Daily Life at the Academy (7)
After leaving the training site, Asil could see students gathered near the training site. They were students who left the training ground before Asil.
Nora said that they were delinquent students and did not attend lectures, but their atmosphere was far from being considered delinquent students.
A somewhat sad, despondent atmosphere. At least it was different from the image of a delinquent student who skips a lecture and is happy because he doesn't like the lecture content.
Asil approached them to gather information. Although it was only the second day, it was difficult for Asil to talk to someone he had never spoken to before. However, in order to escape as quickly as possible from this academy where common sense goes crazy, it was necessary to obtain information.
Asil spoke to one of the students who were huddled together, creating a dark atmosphere. She was a girl I barely knew who had competed against her during sparring class.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"Uh? You... You're the adventurer who came yesterday. Is the lecture over already?"
The female student mistakenly thought that Asil had finished his lecture. But then she looked behind her and was puzzled that Asil had come alone.
"Isn't it time for the lecture to end yet? You can't just indulge yourself. Even though I came here on a recommendation."
"No, that's not what you're going to say. "You guys are in a place like this without listening to the lecture."
"There are circumstances that we cannot avoid... "
As the female student was about to make an excuse, the male student who was listening next to her intervened.
"Wait for a sec. "Isn't this guy just like us?"
"What? No way. There's no way kids like us would expose our breasts like this."
"That's true, but... "
At that point, she was able to get a general idea of ??what the Asildo students were talking about.
"No, I didn't order this uniform like this, I left it to you, and it ended up like this... Anyway, listening to what you say, do you also think this academy is strange?"
"That's true, though. Uh. Really?"
The female student just stared blankly. She passed the female student who was expressing surprise with her whole body, and the male student who joined in next to her spoke.
"That's right. We believe that this academy... Hmm... "It's a bit hard to say this to you, a woman, but I know you've become strange in the erotic direction."
"Really? "I've never seen anyone other than me notice that."
"Then maybe we're just the first people you've ever seen. "We know how many people there are besides us."
"There's more? "How much do you have?"
"I don't know exactly, but there are some who pretend not to know and mix with other students. There will be more than you think."
"Something so suspicious is going on, but you're just pretending not to know and blending in? Why?"
This time, a female student answered Asil's question.
"That's because we can have sex. Joy. It must be a dream academy for men who say it doesn't matter who they have sex with as long as they use the excuse of 'rules'. Isn't that right?"
The male student, who suddenly opened his eyes, panicked and panicked.
"No, why are you asking me that? "If I had the same thoughts as them, would I be over there at the training ground or here?"
"That's right. It was a joke. Anyway... "
The female student sighed deeply.
"There are a few more students who have realized something strange like us, but for various reasons they are unable to gather together. I think we need to get some people together to find a way to solve it. "Every time a strange lecture comes up, I just end up missing it."
"Have you tried asking outside for help?"
"Of course I did. No, I was going to do it. But it doesn't work. "No matter what tactic I tried, I couldn't even try."
"Hmm... "
Asil was lost in thought for a moment. In this situation where the entire academy is going crazy, it would definitely be of great help to ask these students who noticed something strange about the academy to cooperate in the investigation.
But can we trust these students?
As the students themselves said, there are probably many students who hope that the academy's abnormalities will not be resolved even after they notice them.
Perhaps, if you were a man, you would have thought that there was no problem even if nothing was resolved. It is said that they can use the excuse of rules to date the most beautiful girl in school, whom they always looked at from afar, but how many men would be able to refuse?
It was clear that it would be a big problem if the story leaked out and even one person tried to interfere with the investigation.
Asil thought that he should talk about the investigation after discussing it with Soira and Flora.
—–
"... Something like that happened."
That night, Asil gathered our party in my room and told us a story about what happened during the day.
But if you're going to gather, you should gather it in your room. Why should you gather it in my room?
"You are our party leader."
"What. If you say that, I have nothing to say."
"So. What should I do? Can I tell them?"
"Uhm... What do you think, Flora?"
As always, I asked Flora, who was quite a step away, for her opinion.
Until now, Flora herself had been reluctant to step forward, so she had only asked whether she would agree or not after the direction had been decided, but now it was time for Flora to become independent.
Especially in the afternoons, due to the nature of the academy where our party attends lectures separately, it is the best environment to foster Flora's independence. She won't get into big trouble if she makes a mistake at the academy.
Flora herself knew my intentions. Because she's said it over and over again that she needs to be able to go on her own.
Instead of letting Flo make her own judgment, as she usually did, she thought seriously. I placed a hand on her chin, and her big eyes rolled back and forth as she silently gathered her thoughts.
... Honestly, it was kind of cute.
Was there anyone in her family who took that attitude when they were worried? However, the combination of her serious posture and the small and petite impression of Flora, who was the exact opposite, made her just cute.
She smiled happily as if she had similar feelings and looked at Flora as she was worried.
Just like that, the time for appreciating the pink puppy, or rather her Flora, was past. After repeating her actions over and over again, Flora finally raised her head and spoke.
"I'd better say it first. But... Huh? "What's wrong?"
"No. Continue."
From her point of view, Flora was receiving warm gazes for unknown reasons, so it was natural for her to express her doubts. Of course, it wasn't a very important reason, so she let me tell it like it is.
"Yes? Okay? Anyway... "They ask us to help with the investigation, but they say it's not us, it's an individual who knows."
"I'm going to investigate on my own?"
"Yes. It is said that Asil did not enter the academy alone and for the purpose of investigation, but came in with the intention of investigating."
Flora still speaks highly of Asil.
"Why? Is it really necessary to say that?"
"You know. She said the girl knew that guys were weird, and she was trying to get along with it, right? But you know she is a woman."
"Uh... Hmm. Yes? For now."
"First? Anyway, if a woman, Asil, knows something like that but doesn't do anything, she might be thought of as strange. She said she tried a few things to get that girl out there too."
"So she has to show that she is trying to work things out?"
"So to speak. And even if we hear it's strange, we have no idea where or how it's strange, so even if we're in the same party, it would be more persuasive to say that we're investigating it on our own. Then, even if we get caught, we won't be suspicious."
Flora's words were logical in their own way.
In the current situation, Asil is the closest to the suspicious aspects of her academy that Luke Ah mentioned. I still don't know what's so strange about me and Flor.
So, she was saying that Asil should take the lead in the investigation and draw a line so that even if it gets caught, we won't be affected either.
If possible, the safest and most effective way would be for either me or Flora, who can't sense anything strange, to step forward and for Asil to continue the investigation as he was doing... She has already been in contact with Asil. That must be difficult.
At least the method suggested by Flora seemed to be the best method that I could think of right now.
"I think Flora's opinion is okay. "How about Asil?"
"It seems like a good method. But, isn't it only me who suffers from this in the end?"
"Yes?! Oh, no. I don't mean to do that... "
"Ah. No. I didn't mean to say anything to Flora. "It's just a thought."
Phew. Flora stroked her chest in relief. In the meantime, Asil organized her thoughts and made a decision.
"Good. From the looks of it, there isn't much you can do in this situation right now. I can't help it. Still, it's no use being the only one working hard. Umm... "
"Why. Shall I do something? "Can you give me a massage?"
"Massage... "
Flora's cheeks blushed when she heard the word massage, but she pretended not to see it. It felt good, the massage. Next time, I'll take Ashil with me.
"Massage? It's okay. Rather, tell me about the contents of the lecture you heard."
"Lecture content? How?"
"Somehow. Just... Write it like a diary. The professor told me what to do. They said this was training for something. Something like this."
"Would that help? "It's not that difficult."
"If I try to research while hanging out with kids who don't listen to the lectures, I'll be the only one who won't be able to hear the lectures. Research is research, but you still have to listen to the lecture. "It seems like it's outdated, but there's a lot of strangely helpful content."
"Okay? What. Okay. "I will do that."
In this way, the story about Asil's investigation came to an end.
After that, we chatted as usual, and when it was 'time to sleep' we dispersed.
Asil grumbled, 'What are you doing, are you already asleep?' But that's the rule, so what can you do?
Actually, Asil must have been quite tired during the day, he dozed off at the end of the chat, so he quietly returned to his room.
As time passed, the lights began to disappear one by one from the dormitory.
It didn't take long for the lights to go out in all the girls' rooms except for the boys' room.
I also lay down on the bed and tried to sleep in the room with the lights off, looking at that scene through the window.
Good night...
