—————————————————————————————
In the dark classroom.
Guren, alone, sat on a chair.
His own classroom, his own table.
Inside the classroom lit by emergency lights, he pondered, staring at the blackboard.
“……”
Because he had killed all the enemies to hand, he was now a little calmer. Or perhaps it was because he was getting used to being with the demon.
“…… Fu.”
He sighed lightly.
The demon was currently sleeping.
The demon’s sleeping time was becoming longer. He wasn’t sure whether this was due to his recovering his consciousness, or part of the process of merging with the demon.
Guren looked at the window.
All the windows were plastered with spell talismans.
He had been sealed by Shinya.
The seal would not break even if slashed by a blade. Thanks to this gift, Guren could control his desires.
He could make the demon that was pursuing destruction and fresh blood unstoppably, temporarily lapse into silence.
It was likely that he was getting used to it. Mahiru seemed to possess some degree of rationality. Although it was not the original Mahiru, but she seemed to move not just for the sake of massacre. Perhaps after some time, he, too, would be able to control his destructive actions.
“But how long will that take?”
Guren whispered to himself.
He raised his head to gaze at the clock on the wall.
It was 2.40am, in the wee hours of the morning.
A few hours had already passed since he had been sealed in the school.
However, it had only been about one hour ago that he had regained his consciousness.
Apparently, until he had regained his consciousness, he had been hacking at the wall.
For a good few hours, the demon had been tirelessly hacking at the wall plastered with spell talismans, grinning.
In that period of time, the only thing he had been able to think of was slaughtering everyone.
He wanted to kill.
To destroy.
Those were urges similar to a demon’s.
He wanted to destroy everything in this world.
But gradually, as Guren merged with the demon bit by bit, he also felt his desires begin to morph.
As he used the demon’s strength, his desires were no longer basic human desires, but became the desire to solve his current complex stalemate.
In the process, the demon suddenly fell asleep.
It was slumbering.
Thus Guren regained his consciousness.
However, in other words, this was,
“…… Part of the process. Part of the process, of me becoming a demon.”
Guren murmured tirely. In contrast to the tiredness in his heart, strength practically oozed from his body.
He grabbed the table next to him; Shinya’s table. He raised it. Tossed it.
The table shot out like a bullet, lodging in the blackboard.
That was evidently not the strength of a human.
“……”
He leaned backwards in his seat, tilting his chair back and staring at the ceiling.
Click, click, he rocked his chair.
This wasn’t the kind of thing he should be doing right now, but it wasn’t like he had anything to do.
The next time the demon awoke, he did not plan to let it do as it pleased, and he planned to make it surrender, but this was probably impossible. This
But it was necessary. That was why he had reached out. Furthermore, it was effective. He had saved Sayuri and Shigure, Goshi and Mito. Hence, though he did not regret his decision, it was also the only way.
It was not something that could be considering with idealism.
If he could subdue the demon with his consciousness, then,
“…… Mahiru is doing that now.”
He said her name softly.
She was amazing.
A genius.
She was stronger, more mature, always ahead of him.
Everything was progressing as according to that Mahiru’s plan.
The battle between ‘Mikado no Oni’ and the
Guren’s
All these were perfectly enacted.
‘Mikado no Oni’ and the
If it came to the time when Mahiru revealed that her research was more advanced, probably, no matter which side it was, they would join hands with Mahiru.
Then the warm up event leading up to the main character, Hiiragi Mahiru’s big debut would be,
“…… Me, huh.”
Guren laughed.
Most likely, spell organizations all around the world were now paying attention to this school in Shibuya, Tokyo.
Even the time when people paid attention, was to some degree perfectly controlled by Mahiru.
She allowed ‘Mikado no Oni’ and the
It was all according to Mahiru’s plan.
Just because of this, this world would really transform from being the tortoise to the hare in one leap.
The entire world would rush to start researching the
Mahiru had said something similar.
She said that this world was about to be destroyed.
She also said that this destruction would occur on Christmas day this year.
Guren remembered her words.
Her words were as though using destruction as bait to confuse the people’s inferior religious organizations.
Mahiru had said thus.
“The first destruction will visit those greedy, ugly adults. To be specific, that means that everyone above the age of thirteen will be killed.”
If those words were true, then those demons that unleashed desire would bear the brunt. However, she continued to speak.
“The god is already furious. Towards the greedy us. Towards all the dirty research that is ongoing, and the ugliness of mankind’s desires that is beyond imagination.
That’s why the earth will rot.
Monsters will wander the earth.
Poison will descend from the sky.
The seraph of the end will blow the end, this world will hear it and collapse.
When that time comes, humanity is doomed. Weak humans cannot survive in such a world.”
In other words, she was constructing demons for the sake of surviving in such a world.
Though she said that the god’s wrath was directed towards the humans who let their desires expand, shouldn’t the object of that wrath be the demons that caused desires to expand?
Or was it just some religious simile, simply used to incite him?
“……”
Yet, for some reason, Guren also seemed to feel the approach of destruction.
In the instant he was merged with the demon, he heard it weakly, the sound of destruction.
He did not know why he had such a feeling.
But he kept feeling as though he heard the destruction of the world.
It was already August.
If the world was to end on Christmas day, everything would be concluded in 4 months.
“…… Well, my life could end today too.”
At this moment, the cellphone in his pocket vibrated.
“Huh?”
He looked at his pocket and took out his phone.The name displayed on the screen was Hiiragi Mahiru.
Even though her name was not supposed to be registered in his contacts, for some reason, this was the name that the display showed.
She had probably put it in herself. He wasn’t sure when. Was it the time he slept with her? Either way, it was easy for her to do such a thing.
Guren looked at the phone that was displaying Hiiragi Mahiru’s name.
“……”
He only looked, and did not pick up. Right now there was no need to talk with her.
The vibration stopped.
A message was received.
“Come on, pick up the phone.”
It read.
Then the phone rang again.
“……”
Guren did not pick up. He should not pick up. Because she was both dangerous and pretty, an intimidating combination.
The ringing stopped again.
Another message was received.
“Next time, if you don’t pick up within one ring I’ll kill everyone precious to you.”
The phone rang again.
This time, Guren pressed the ‘answer’ button and held the phone to his ear.
Then he said in a low voice.
“Enough, Mahiru.”
“Annoyed already?”
“Yes.”
“But I love you.”
“I hate you.”
“Liar. Only I can understand you now. Let’s get along well, huh?”
“……”
“Anyway, how amazing. You’re already able to maintain your consciousness, aren’t you? You managed that much earlier than me. You……”
All this small talk was pointless. So Guren cut in.
“…… This strength, can it be controlled?”
“Yes~ Nearly.”
“How much has the research progressed?”
“70%? But I think we don’t need to continue any longer. The rest of mankind will help to finish it.”
Mahiru talked about ‘mankind’.
That meant,
“You are no longer human? To what degree have you been swallowed by the demon? Do you still have your rationality?”
But Mahiru did not answer this question, and continued to speak.
“Enough with that. More importantly, soon Kureto-nii will progress to 70% in his research of
At this moment, Guren prepared to hang up.
Kureto, in such a short time, had managed what Guren had requested of him. To use Mahiru’s research data that Guren had handed over, and advance with the
If so, now he should wait for the rescue squad sent by Kureto.
That was why Guren prepared to hang up.
However, Mahiru said happily.
“If you hang up you’ll regret it for life.”
“……”
Because of this sentence, Guren could not hang up. Because she would really do something that would make him regret.
“…… But even if I continue this call, won’t interacting with you also make me regret?”
“Fufufu.”
“…… What do you desire?”
She replied.
“The report on
She had probably discovered the existence of that report due to this incident. She entrusted this to Guren. She had asked him to pass her research data to Kureto, in the hopethat Kureto would advance the research faster than her.
If so,
“Have my movements all been seen through?”
Mahiru replied.
“Because you are very kind.”
“Because I’m kind and stupid, it’s easy to manipulate me, right?”
“Yeah. Because you’re kind and weak, you will definitely become the strongest.”
“I don’t want to talk to you any more.”
“That’s just denial. You’ve already embraced me.”
“Mahiru.”
“What?”
Guren ignored this and said.
“Hey Mahiru…… Are you there? Don’t lose to the demon. Make it surrender. Answer me.”
He addressed these words to the one who was supposed to exist inside Mahiru, the real Mahiru. Inside her, Mahiru’s heart should still exist.
Because he himself was merged with a demon, he understood.
A demon, cannot exist alone.
Swallowing mankind’s desires, ultimately determined its existence, and then made it stronger.
Of course, if one’s heart was devoured, then that would not be the original person anymore, but, even so,
“Mahiru. Are you still there? If so, answer me.”
“Aha, you stil have such a childish desire? Sure. I can act like the Mahiru you want……”
But Guren was no longer paying attention, and spoke.
“Mahiru! I won’t lose. Make the demon surrender. I’ll definitely find the way to make the demon surrender. So you too, don’t lose to the demon, wake up!”
“Ahahaha, how moving. But it’s useless……”
“Mahiru! Advance with me. Wake up!”
“……”
“Mahiru!”
“…… Guren……”
The phone was suddenly hung up.
It was evidently strange. Perhaps Mahiru had responded somewhat to Guren’s words. Her heart still existed.
He called her afresh.
She did not pick up.
“Pick up.”
She did not pick up.
“Pick up!”
She did not pick up.
“Pick up already!”
Still, no one picked up.
Right at this moment, light entered the classroom.
The talismans plastered over the window had been removed. Intense light shone in from outside.
His eyes, which had grown used to darkness, felt piercing pain. But his pupils immediately contracted, so he was able to see the surrounding situation.
Armoured soldiers poured in through the window. Instintively, Guren brought up the blade that never seemed to leave his hand.
“…… Shinya?”
“Guren! Don’t move! We’re here to save you!”
Saying thus, Shinya bundled up all the talismans in the classroom.
More troops entered through the window. Mito and Goshi were with them. Something like a katana hung at the waists of every person.
“Guren!
“Are you okay!?”
They said.
They were supposed to be injured greviously, yet now they were moving about in a lively manner.
“……”
Then Guren noticed that they were using
It seemed that Shinya, Goshi, Mito and the other troops had allowed the
Their wounds had probably been healed by the power of their demons.
Guren confirmed the movements of the troops that had demons within them.
Quick movements. But not as good as Guren.
Apparently, the amount of demon’s poison in their bodies was much less than in Guren.
The demon’s poison that threatened rationality.
In Mahiru’s words, that was the dosage of poison that made them ‘unable to aim higher’.
But even so, if he took on all of them as opponents at the same time he might lose. They were at such a level of strength.
Guren sat on the chair, unmoving.
Demon.
Because he felt Noya awaken.
Noya said.
“Kill, kill, kill, kill.”
Guren endured.
“Kill your companions, kill your friends, kill mankind.”
Guren endured with all his might.
He was surrounded by the troops.
Shinya spoke.
“I heard you’ve regained consciousness……”
Guren interrupted him.
“No, the demon’s awakened! If you’re going to control it then hurry!”
Beside Shinya, Goshi wrinkled his brow.
“Ah, damn.”
Mito added urgently.
“Please endure it for a while! Don’t be swallowed by desire!”
As the two spoke, they rushed out and restrained Guren’s shoulders. These two seemed to have already overcome their battles with the demons in their hearts.
Noya continued to whisper the same thing over and over again.
“Kill, kill, kill, kill.”
“Kill!”
His own mouth also yelled the same words.
Guren looked at Mito. He forcefully threw off her hand.
“I won’t let you succeed!”
Then Guren’s hand struck the face of Mito who was yelling this.
“Yah”
Behind him Goshi cried out in surprise.
“Mito-chan!”
Guren headbutted Goshi who was not only clutching Guren’s arm, but was also preparing to grab his neck.
“Wu”
Goshi’s nose broke, but it quickly healed and returned to normal. This was obviously not a human trait. It was the strength of the
But he was still weak.
Extremely weak.
Guren grabbed Goshi’s neck. To snap it would be easy. All he had to do was exert pressure with his fingers.
“Stop!”
Guren yelled angrily, and for a moment his hand stopped.
Grabbing the opportunity in that moment, Shinya rushed out from the side and kicked Guren’s arm away.
Shinya said.
“Calm down, Guren, we’ll help you bind it now.”
“Then hurry up!”
Hearing Guren’s shout, Shinya extended his right hand. It held a spell talisman, on which were written characters he had never seen before.
Guren looked as though he was about to dodge.
“Don’t hide!”
He was commanded so by Shinya.
“Wu”
Guren wrinkled his brow, trying not to let his head turn away. With all his might, he resisted the demon in his heart that wanted to dodge the talisman, to use his blade and cut Shinya and to.
Then his body stopped moved.
To this, Shinya smiled.
‘Good, Guren, we win!”
Shinya touched the talisman in his right hand to Guren’s forehead.
It seemed to be the type of spell that affected the nervous system.
Guren’s body began to shiver. Although the demon wanted to resist the poison, Guren felt Noya’s voice that resounded repeated in his head become much softer.
Mito yelled.
“Guren! Please wake up!”
Facing Guren, she raised a wooden stake high. That stake carried what looked like a chain.
But Guren dodged. He assessed the situation around him. Every squad member held such a wooden stake. It seemed that if he were pierced by that, his body would be bound.
Furthermore, he was supposed to be bound right now.
However, he
“……”
He leapt. Stabbing his blade into the ceiling, he stood upside down.
He confirmed the number of troops in the classroom.
Including Shinya, Goshi and Mito, there were twelve people altogether.
Every one of them possessed a katana.
Although they were weaker than Guren, but those were still
If so, what should he do?
What should he do?
Shinya raised his head to look at him, saying.
“One isn’t enough. Even though we don’t know the dosage of
To this Guren replied.
“Only using spell talismans to forcefully restrain the demon. Then what? The desires in your heart are real. They are what you are. If you lock them up, what will you become?”
Shinya fixed him with a gaze.
“Ha, whose words are those? I’m talking to Guren. Demon, shut up.”
“The one who should shut up is you, human. You also desire strength, right? The strength to prevent your fiancé from being slept with. The strength so that you need not submit to Kureto.”
“……”
“Come, unleash your anger. Say that you desire strength, then the demon in your heart……”
But Shinya refused to respond to this. Only laughed lightly.
“Enjoy making your noise, demon. Mankind has already found a way to nourish you. Then you will forever be our slaves.”
In an instant, Guren knew that the demon in his heart was scared.
It was his first time knowing that demons could feel fear towards humans. If he used this, perhaps he could take the chance to wrestle control.
However, Guren still could not recover.
Shinya shut his eyes. Raised two fingers, continuously chanted something.
Lines appeared all over his body. It semed that this spell took some time to activate.
Guren wanted to kill this Shinya who was so unprepared.
But in front of Shinya, Mito and Goshi had already taken their stances with the katanas that they were not used to.
Goshi said.
“We won’t let you succed, we know you don’t want to do this kind of thing.”
Don’t make such an arrogant argument.
Mito said.
“This time, this time for sure, we’ll save you!”
Weak bastards, shut up.
Guren laughed.
He alone laughed.
Guren knew that the canines in his mouth had already elongated into fangs.
He opened his mouth.
“You compromised your lives with such meaningless actions, die regretting them.”
His blade clashed against Goshi’s.
“WU”
Goshi’s blade was weak. If he pressed down like this, cutting Goshi’s body—
At this moment, Mito’s blade also clashed against his. Guren weakened a little.
Two against one.
Even so, Guren was still stronger.
Mito, with an expression of desperation,
“Wu, wuuuuuu…… I, I won’t lose! To gamble my life to save my companions, there’s no way I’ll regret it!”
She said thus.
Comapnions. Companions. Companions.
“What idiotic things are you saying?”
In response to Guren, Goshi retorted.
“The one who is acting idiotically is who! That’s why we will gamble our lives for you.”
Then he tilted his head slightly.
From behind him, Shinya’s hand reached out.
It was the talisman.
It was that talisman again.
The one that if touched, would restrain his body.
Guren took a step back.
But in that instant, Shinya’s hand vanished.
Goshi laughed.
“Ah, by the way, that was an illusion.”
Shit!
Guren surveyed his surroundings.
Looking for Shinya.
At some time, Shinya had disappeared.
“Over here.”
The voice came from the ceiling.
It was too late to even lift his head. In a split second, Shinya’s face was near him.
There was already a talisman pasted on his neck. Guren felt his strength suddenly weaken greatly. Then Shinya grabbed his hair and embraced his body. Just as Guren reversed his blade, preparing to plunge it into Shinya, (note: whew~~~)
“Stop, demon!”
Guren commanded furiously. His movements stilled.
He saw Shinya smile and yell.
“Don’t worry about me, move!”
The troops thrust out their stakes adorned with chains. The stakes pierced Guren and Shinya’s bodies.
Next, as though controlled by magic, the chains begain to wrap around him from his feet up.
He did not know what it was. But it probably related to contracting with the demon.
Shinya spoke.
“It’s over, Guren. Go and make the demon surrender. After that, come back to us…… Come back and be a human!”
Guren looked at Shinya.
“……”
He lost consciousness.
——————————————————————–
“……”
Guren reopened his eyes, he had returned to that place.
The world of everything.
The world of the demon.
A beautiful young body.
Pale white skin.
Crimson pupils.
Crimson hair.
Entire body wrapped in chains, bound on the ground.
It was Noya.
He felt that Noya’s strength, had already weakened greatly.
Guren stared at Noya.
Noya also raised her head to look at him, and said.
“…… Teaming up with everyone to bully me, that’s too much.”
To which Guren responded.
“It’s because you’re a lonely, single person.”
“Again with this. ‘Lonely’, isn’t that you? You don’t trust anything. That’s why you sought me out. No one helped you, so you came to me.”
That was true.
Noya continued.
“So unlock these chains. Then I will make you strong.”
“……”
“Fundamentally, man is alone. Can only become strong alone. Come, use me, become strong.”
With this said, Noya extended a hand. That hand was wrapped with chains that sucked its strength away, causing it to tremble.
Staring at the demon’s trembling hand, Guren said.
“…… Aah. True. Man is alone.”
“Then-”
“But to become strong teamwork is necessary. It is necessary to trust companions.”
“…… Even though you never trusted?”
Facing this question, Guren quietly reflected for a while. It seemed that the demon wanted to exploit the selfish part of his heart.
The part that wanted to be outstanding.
The part where he acted as he pleased – locking these away, Guren spoke.
“Because I’m weak, so if I cannot trust, I won’t be able to advance.”
“……”
“I was saved by people risking their lives. I have companions. I have subordinates. I’m not the same as you. I’m, not the same as Mahiru.”
The demon said.
“You’ll be betrayed.”
Guren replied.
“So what? Anyway I was supposed to die today. Even if I’m betrayed, so what?”
“……”
Then the demon lapsed into silence. Weighed down by the chains, it slowly sank into the ground.
Gazing at him, Noya spoke.
“Soon you will realize, only I am your ally.”
“Disappear, demon.”
“I will await that time. Everything you desire……”
But at this moment, Noya suddenly stopped talking.
Guren turned around.
There was nothing behind him. A pure white world.
But Noya looked over her shoulder, as though looking at something, and said.
“Ah, ah, ah—What. It’s already that time? Then, enough. Enough already. I will wait quietly.”
“What are you talking about?”
Guren asked. Noya laughed at him cheerfully.
“Ah~ It’s just that no matter what you will voluntarily join hands with me. Well then, goodbye. Sweet dreams!”
He had no idea what the demon was talking about, but Noya’s body simply vanished.
Wrapped in chains, it was completely pulled beneath the surface of the ground.
In an instant.
Guren’s consciousness returned to him.
His soul, the feelings that he controlled, had returned.
Although there were residual feelings of exhaustion from his fight with the demon, even so, his head and heart were a lot clearer.
It looked like Kureto had really found the way to subdue the
Though compared to when his desires freely rampaged, the strength supplied was much less, but even so, right now he had really subdued the
After that.
————————————————————————
Guren opened his eyes.
He was in the classroom once more.
Shinya was holding his shoulders. With an expression of worry, he said.
“…… Have you come back?”
To this, Guren only stared at him wordlessly.
“……”
For some reason he was a little embarrassed, and could not open his mouth to speak. Because, ‘risk my life to save my companion’, ‘I believe in you’ or similar, the rascals who had yelled these lame things were standing nearby.
Because the idiots who had really risked their lives for him were standing before his eyes.
“……”
Guren did not know what to say, and wrinkled his brow.
Seeing this kind of Guren, Shinya laughed. It was probably because he had discovered that the rationality had returned to Guren’s eyes.
“Ah, I know how you feel. What’s with this bunch? What’s with the whole ‘I’m your companion so I’ll save you’ thing? But that’s how it is. So first you should show some gratitude? Come on, where’s our ‘thank you’?”
“……”
“Guren. Where’s my ‘thank you’.”
Still wrinkling his brow, Guren replied.
“…… It’s not like I asked you to save me.”
“Good grief~”
Shinya laughed again.
At this moment Mito also noticed the fact that Guren had recovered.
She looked at him. Her eyes grew moist. Tears flowed out.
“Guren!”
She hugged him.
She cried. Crying again. This guy really loved to cry.
“Great! Really, great!”
She said thus.
Even Goshi’s eyes were a little moist as he watched all this.
Even though Mahiru’s illusion spell to meddle with feelings had been dissipated, everyone was still so emotional, Guren could not accept this situation.
“…… Situation?”
Guren said.
Then he let Mito stop hugging him. Because he and Shinya were bound together by chains, separating them took some time.
During this time Shinya,
“Come on thank us.”
He said this countless times. Guren ignored him completely.
After they were separated, Guren took a step away from his companions to survey the surroundings.
There were quite a few soldiers in the classroom. Rushing back and forth.
They seemed to be confirming the situation around the school.
Guren looked in the direction of the school field.
Compared to earlier, there were much more soldiers and trucks, as though about to bury the schoolyard beneath them.
“The main troops from ‘Mikado no Oni’ are here?
Gurne asked, and Shinya replied.
“It has become a situation in which we must protect you.”
Guren laughed at this.
“Protect me? Have you mixed it up with protecting the
Shinya nodded.
“Well, even so. But right now we’re being watched by the world. The Hiiragi family has already sent out word to the world that the the
The game of strength had already begun.
“…… Yeah.”
Guren nodded.
Because of this, the battle this time would probably end here.
The
That was why, after this announcement, all the organizations around the world would cozy up to ‘Mikado no Oni’ which had already obtained the
In a short time, the
It might even be the case that in this instant, the seat of Japan’s largest magic organization, had shifted from the
Of course, this was before the
Guren asked.
“What about the
Shinya shook his head.
“Still nothing. But the attacks seemed to have all stopped. Although a leadership conference was arranged, it seems to have been called off.
Well of course. If they entered the talks now, facing ‘Mikado no Oni’ that could play the trump card of
But of course, Mahiru would have leaked the report to the
Guren looked at the shattered glass of the window. It was the window Shinya and the others had entered through.
Those rascals, really came back like they promised.
To save their companion.
To save their classmate.
Idiots.
They were all idiots.
Guren looked out that window.
Moonlight shone through the broken window.
There was still no daylight.
The corpses had already been disposed of. Neither was there the smell of blood. The air was only filled with the smell of the antidote.
Raising his head to check the time, he saw that it was already 4am. In other ways, since the time when Shinya and the others had entered, about an hour had passed.
In this time, he had been wrapped with chains along with Shinya, the two of them tightly pressed together. Goshi and Mito had also been there, watching with moist eyes like idiots. (note: WHEWWW~~~)
Guren refused to look at that bunch of idiots.
He focused on the view outside the broken window.
“……”
Anyway, there was something he had to say.
“…… Ah, dammit. I know…… You guys really helped me out, thank you.”
He spoke softly. So softly that he himself was surprised.
But Shinya’s ears were sensitive,
“Huh? What did you just say?”
He said.
“……”
Of course, he wasn’t going to say it again.
But Shinya continued to act dumb.
“Just now you said we helped you out? You said thank you?”
“……”
“You said you’re so grateful you’re about to cry, you’re already so grateful you’re about to piss yourself?” (Note: AHAHAHAHA SHINYA)
“I didn’t say that.”
As he spoke he turned around, those three were happily laughing. A katana hung from each of their belts. Blades infused with the poison of the demon.
Those three, for Guren, gave up on being human.
Guren looked at those blades, and said.
“…… All because of me, sorry……”
But Goshi interrupted.
“You rescued us first. This is just repayment.”
Mito chimed in,
“That’s right! So don’t apologize!”
She said thus.
Guren looked at the two of them, and then
“…… Aah, so it is. So the two of you should thank me.”
“Ehhhhhh~!?”
Goshi and Mito laughed.
Shinya stepped away from them, and asked.
“I didn’t get rescued, so Guren owes me?”
“Your face keeps smiling like an idiot and makes people angry so it doesn’t matter.”
“You’re jealous that I’m more handsome than you?”
Guren laughed at this.
“I think you should already know, it’s me that’s more popular? Even your woman chose me.”
Shinya squinted at him speechlessly.
“Ah~ I spent so much effort saving you and you still say that?”
“It’s the truth.”
“F*** you, man.”
“I’d like to see you try.”
Mito, who could not figure the situation out, spoke.
“Ah, ah, that is, what’s going on?”
Guren looked at her. A few hours ago, she had been on the brink of death. Although she had confessed in all the chaos, that was probably just her being confused. Just her being affected by Mahiru’s illusion spell, a dream caused by proximity to death.
So Guren said this.
“I’m fighting over a woman with this guy. And I won.”
“What……”
Mito looked shocked.
Then that shocked expression quickly vanished.
“Heh, heh…… Is that so. Nothing to do with me!”
Evidently, she had also regained her rationality. She would not be distracted by silly things like love or infatuation. Mahiru’s spell had been dissipated.
Goshi watched Mito as though enjoying the situation.
Then Shinya joined it.
“But Guren also got dumped.”
“Eh!? Really!?”
Mito looked a little happy as she said this, but this was all pointless.
Guren addressed Shinya.
“Enough nonsense.”
“You started it.”
Ignored him, Guren queried.
“Where are my subordinates?”
Earlier, they should have been on the roof. Then the school was sealed. Because the roof and the entrances to the school were all plastered with spell talismans, they must have left via the room, or stayed on the roof, both were possible.
Shinya responded.
“About that…… Kureto-nii is protecting……”
Without waiting for Shinya to finish speaking, Guren whipped out his phone and called Kureto. The call connected.
“Hey Kureto.”
“Aah, you’ve finally woken up……”
Guren cut in.
“My subordinates……”
Kureto also interrupted him.
“In the office. Don’t call them.”
He hung up.
Having been hung up on, Gurne looked at his phone, and then strode away.
“Hey, Guren!”
Ignoring Mito who was calling behind him, Guren walked out the classroom.

Translators’ Notes:
Hyaka: ARE YOU FEELING THESE FEELS I’M FEELING
THEY’RE GURESHIN FEELS
Also, because I’m translating this at 5am, this popped up in my head: I don’t ship Guren and Shinya in the yaoi pairing sense, I ship them as friends…. So it’s a friend ship… Wait a minute… FRIENDSHIP
OH MY GAWD
GO TO SLEEP
Oh and happy new year everyone!
K.Shion: THAT EMBRACE MANNN THAT EMBRACE WOO WOOO WOOO
