Chapter 66: Mondai High Enrollment (3)

Here's the gist of what my water-filled brain had left of his words. He congratulated us for enrollment, and then sympathized with us, emphasising that troublesome doesn't mean anything negative— even though it is— after that he gave a brief introduction of all the other high ranking school officials.

To my surprise, there's even a defence team in the school to deal with conflict between students.

Shit. This is not a school but a war zone isn't it? If not, I don't see the reason why you need a lieutenant on campus.

Also, he talked about school regulations, and we had to sing the school anthem— refer to the school diary. Case point: Gilgamesh doesn't have a national song like other countries, but it has a commandment we have to recite as a substitute. Apparently, Gilgamesh hated singing songs, especially the one from the country he grew up in— talk about patriotism.

Liliath struggled with it since she didn't know the commandments, looking at me with pitiful eyes.

I'm sorry, I forgot.. I'll teach you later.

After that came the student council. Comparing her with the seniors, I'm guessing what differentiates a normal student from a student council member from a regular student is the school tie. Normal students wore a light blue tie while she wore a blood-red tie.

I saw Liliath's eyes sparkle..

"A red tie," I heard Liliath mutter under her breath glancing at those with the blue ones.

Oh no.. don't tell me she intends to join the school council— go through all the trouble and suffer through the mountain of work just for the sake of the permission to wear a red tie?!

Clam down Noel.. I'm sure you're just overthinking.. yup.

"Being a student council is troublesome though.."

"I understand, it's best we keep a low profile," Liliath said solemnly.

She really wants a red tie huh? I wonder why she never thought to pick a red dress then? I wonder if she prefers a black tie over a red one.

The many mysteries surrounding Liliath..

"Liliath, I have a question."

Since the Student Council President was reciting her pre-prepared cheat sheet (she's obviously an introvert)— I decided to take this chance to ask Liliath about the thing before.

"Yes?"

"Is there something like charm magic back in your world?"

"There is such magic, anything you wish to know about it?" I saw Liliath's flinch a moment there.

Suspicious… welp, she did say not to trust her after all..

"You didn't use it on purpose when Kai was there right?"

I'm just curious..

To my question, Liliath calmly shook her head.

I let out a sigh. So the problem is with Kai.. what a womanizer.

No.. maybe the problem is me.. I'm overthinking.

I flinch at my own thoughts.

'Excuse me but please pay attention.'

Huh? I turned my head towards the— Student Council President.

She was speaking as normal up on stage but.. it sounded as if she was speaking right in front of us just now? What the heck?

"What happened?" Liliath's asked.

Still shackled by the previous words, I kept silent.

A few seconds later, the Student Council President turned to Liliath and I, showing a gentle smile before continuing her boring speech about school regulations.

"I'm sorry Noel, I should have been more careful," Liliath caught on to the gist of what had happened.

"I-It's alright.." I myself couldn't hear the words I spoke properly, but I could tell Liliath grasped my intent.

Though, the main issue remains. How did she bypass Liliath's concealment barrier? What kind of TALENT was that?

Seriously.. this school is filled with mysterious TALENTS.

"That was incredible," Prune's tail was wagging.

"Ah.. yeah.."

You know, if there's one thing I don't get about Prune, it is that she's always excited about having an assembly. It makes no sense. The better the speaker on stage, the more hyped she gets. Though the script of the Student Council President was incredible, it was in the end— just boring school regulations..

I was following the group out of the auditorium. The second exit.

"Noel?"

"Uh, yeah, I think the Student Council President has the ability to send telepathic messages.. she told me to 'pay attention'."

Was the conclusion I came to.

"As I thought. I should have weakened your presence to a greater degree…" Liliath hung her head.

"Nah, It's fine, it doesn't matter anyways."

Well.. it did shake me a little though..

Speaking of which— I still need to pass this file to Keaton.

"Class A please line up!"

"Class C here."

"Class E."

Out in the garden, teachers were calling out to their students. In the distance, I could see two blocks of buildings, our seniors staring at us from afar..

"I suppose we fall into groups?" Liliath said.

"Noel, what class are you in?" Prune asked.

"Class E."

"Me too," Prune replied in surprise.

And the person in charge of our class was indeed the teacher with a stern face behind her glasses— Teacher Glib.

"Name."

"Noel— and Liliath."

Checking our names off the list, she continued, "Line up."

"And Prune," Prune glared at me. Ah yup, I didn't miss out her name on purpose alright.

"Both of you have different coloured hair? Hm.." her voice suddenly dropped into one of suspicion. "Nevermind, go queue up, I'll ask about it later."

"Thank you?"

And we got in line. Kai, in the front of queue.

Wheewh, fortunately he's like three human beings away. That saves me some anxiety.

"How do you intend to explain to the teacher regarding our inconspicuousness later, Noel?" Liliath turned to me and asked.

"Hah.. I honestly don't know.. she didn't ask about it didn't she?"

"Just a safety measure, she was suspecting us."

"Um, just a quick question, is there a limit to the range of your barrier, Liliath?" Prune raised her hand a little and asked.

"I've applied a remote barrier on you, the range limit, 50 meters."

"Hah? A separate one? How about me?"

What? Then why did Liliath tell me to keep in range of her? She could give me a barrier of my own right?

"You're sharing mine," Liliath said.

Seriously now?

"Y-you two are that close?" Prune raised this question with a quivering voice.

"Sorta.."

"Noel is my master after all.."

Prune twitched.

"Come on.. I told you to cut it out already, didn't I?"

Liliath chuckled in response.

Seriously, does she really not harbour any romantic feelings towards me? Is it because of the difference in culture between the worlds we come from? I have no idea.. it's so comical, it kinda hurts not knowing why she's acting like this.

Soon enough, the line of students started moving and we went onwards like a train.. I feel like I'm in kindergarten. Ugh.. a heartbroken kindergarten child.

Chuu, chuu, the train blows invisible steam.

Next on schedule: a field trip around the school.

Places include the canteen, school pool, classroom, training court and clubrooms.

The canteen, or cafeteria:

Neither Prune nor I brought any money so we could only watch as people empty the canteen's food supply. Teriyaki chicken on a stick looks amazing.. I should've asked for some money if I knew about this.

The pool:

Every male students' dream. Well, the pool was massive, there was a deep pool and a shallow pool. I think I prefer to use the shallow pool; I can't swim. I hope I never come here with Liliath for the sake of maintaining my sanity.

Spare me please— I've already seen Liliath naked once already..

The training court beside the pool:

Similar to the auditorium except smaller, there were 2 basketball courts and one tennis court drawn on the flat tactile anti-slip floor. A running track around the parameter.

The clubrooms:

This was where all our senpai-carnivorous stare holes into us. Liliath had a concealment barrier on at all times, and the fact that we moved in a single file was a life-saver.. not. The line broke midway when we were visiting the makeshift club booths.

Prune went on to take a look, while Liliath and I stood at one side, concealment barrier maxed out and waited for the senpais to finish promoting their clubs which I don't plan to join. Moreover, I don't see a booth promoting a manga club. I saw one for fine arts but— it's not my thing. I specialize in drawing cute girls and cute boys in anime style after all.

"Are you not interested in any of the clubs, Liliath?"

"It's a risk, just like what the beastkin is doing there."

"Oh. Yeah.. right.."

Directing my gaze towards the crowd surrounding this exotic individual named Prune, together with her wolf-like ears, silver ears, and fluffy tail, it caused an uproar.

"You didn't remove the spell did you?"

"There is a limit to it. I cannot possibly make it so not even the sand-pies would ignore her existence no matter how she tries a tantrum can I now?"

Pfftt.. sand pies.

"You're right," I choked on those words while laughing.

"I have a feeling I've done something wrong," Liliath pouted.

"It's senpai, not sand PIE. Got it?"

Gosh my innards are fucking up because of her accidental joke.

But Liliath didn't do anything wrong— Prune herself wanted to check the clubs out.

"Noel."

"Yes?

"That girl."

Wiping a tear away, I followed Liliath's thumb— pointed at a familiar person standing near two potted plants. It was the girl Liliath cured back at the hospital— Saria is her name, was it?

"Should we follow up on her condition?" Liliath asked.

"You can cast a barrier around them, right? Rather.. it's inevitable isn't it.. no matter how we try to hide, your existence is still going to be exposed in the end.."

"I can only agree," Liliath heaved a sigh.

"Since they're away from the rest of the group, let's go."

We walked towards Saria who was talking to a male friend of her's.

She had shoulder length hair, wore a shirt with tight jeans, a bag strapped to her chest while her friend who had neat combed hair wore a striped collar shirt and dark blue long pants.
