It Became a Time-Stop Slit-Eye

62. I’m busy.

Three days have passed since Sento Sawamura entrusted Shiki Ichimaru with the duties of the sports festival committee.

Since it was a matter of creating a separate sports festival steering committee rather than the existing student council, the news of what happened afterwards was not well communicated.

I felt like I had been neglected from the position I was entrusted with, but with the work of the class president and the library committee, and even studying witchcraft, I was so busy that I didn’t have time to care.

Since there is no news, it seems that no accident has occurred.

I was just relieved.

Forgotten and devoted to my work, Sento’s days continued for a while-

“Ah, the other day a young man came. Uh…… Did you say your last name was Ichimaru? Are you friends with Gi?”

But the insidious name started to come from an unexpected place.

“…… Yes?”

Sawamura Sento doubted her ears for a moment.

I wouldn’t have been surprised at all if I had heard his last name in school.

Ichimaru Shiki is a character within the first year… No, because he was an absolute celebrity.

In the same grade, there was a male student who studied well enough to get perfect marks in all subjects, was good at any sport, was tall, and even laughed all the time. There was no way he wasn’t famous.

Ichimaru Shiki.

If the place is limited to the campus, her name is somehow worthy of being heard, whether it is an honor student, an eccentric, or just a cool boy.

It’s just amazing that this place isn’t a campus.

Sento stopped by a shopping mall near the school to support the holding of the sports festival as part of his student council activities.

It was to get permission for firecrackers in the morning and campfires in the evening.

I’ll allow it if it’s possible, but there will be residents who get angry with the noise from time to time, so I planned to leave evidence in writing for the sake of formality……

“Ego, that was cool. Even if you don’t have to come here to ask for permission, these days, the kids are full of energy like that. I am, and the guests are, and I am fine. Ah, it was nice to see you smile.”

First of all, her grandmother, who runs a bar in the back alley of the school, seemed to have succeeded in recruiting her.

It seemed that it was not Sento himself, but some guy who was always sloppy had already gotten the signature.

“Ah, that friend. All you have to do is get permission, but he said he helped me with work for a while before leaving. It’s stronger than it looks, and it’s a trade, and it lifts heavy things lightly.”

The owner of a nearby hardware store also seemed to have fallen for it.

“Umm, it’s okay. In fact, I wondered if it would be harmful to my child’s emotions, but the friend said that children study well only when they think that the school they attend will be more enjoyable in the future. Well, Karakura is also a promising school…… I heard that the friend who came last time was the head of the school, is that true? If it’s true, even if it’s my child’s tutoring…… “

The same goes for the wife who seems to have a very high enthusiasm for learning for her children.

For about 30 minutes, Sento only faced a situation where everyone he encountered passed over to someone.

It was the atmosphere that all the residents around here had already been stabbed by someone with a sinister narrowed eye.

“…… No, it was three days.”

Yes, it is only three days.

Sawamura Sento blinked his eyes stupidly.

Since we talked about lunch on Tuesday, it must have been assigned to the committee and organized by Wednesday, and work began in earnest on the afternoon of the same day, or Thursday at the latest.

Thus, the time he was in charge of the job was actually only two or one day.

No, normally I’ll start work now, but it’s already finished…….

Others would have thought that he must have worked hard in his spare time, but Ichimaru Shiki showed up for the past three days.

‘mmm, is there something blocking you?’

Anyway, since they’re partners, he sometimes interferes with school studies, and when he goes to Shihei’s mansion, he makes various comments about the magic ceremony.

Very briefly, not roughly, but very carefully!

He is a sincere guy with a terrifying knack for interfering with others…… !

“…… I don’t like it.”

Sento frowned and returned to the student council with papers that were close to blank pages.

“Oh, sorry.”

Student President Tokito Minami smiled and bowed her head.

“I forgot because I said it three days ago. I meant to help your friend, but who in the world could have known it would be so good. Are you really sorry though?”

It was a smiley face and an expression that didn’t look apologetic at all, but Sawamura Sento also had a hard time spitting on his smiling face.

If it was possible, I would have spit on Ichimaru Shiki.

Therefore, what she said was decided.

“…… No.”

“hahahaha, thank you so much for forgiving me! Then you see, your friend… Did I mention Ichimaru Shiki-kun? Hey, you seem to be doing a really good job! It’s only been three days since I joined the committee!”

“… ….”

“Oh my God, you are even responsible for accounting, such as the operating budget of sports festivals? The chairman of the committee boasted so much that he would live…… “

What is it, Sento and I already knew that Shiki Ichimaru was a great person.

Besides being classmates, he is also learning witchcraft from time to time, and he also knows a secret that ordinary people will never know, that he is more than just an exorcist.

Maybe he is the person who knows him best in the world…….

“Hmm, it’s a waste of talent to end up with the sports festival committee.”

For some reason, I don’t like it.

He speaks as if he knows very well even though he only knows a small part of his ability, and he seems to be sharing a secret that only he knew……

Yes, it was as if a treasure chest was found hidden in his room.

Ichimaru Shiki doesn’t belong to me personally, but somehow it feels stolen.

Maybe that’s why.

“Since he seems to have a good ability and personality, I was thinking of bringing him to our student council…… “

“No.”

“…… Uhm?”

Sento Sawamura responded in a stern tone to the student council president with a puzzled look on his face.

“Shiki is busy tutoring.”

It was an unfounded story.

***

“You look busy these days. Are you going to continue?”

It was a story that Kenichi brought up while the three of them were eating lunch.

To be honest, I was surprised.

I did it in my spare time, so it didn’t interfere with the training at all, so how do you know and say it?

I covered my mouth as I felt my heart swell with emotion.

“Kenichi, you seem to have a lot of interest in me…… ! However, Kenichi is not my taste, so please stop paying attention…… !”

“What the hell are you talking about, you bastard?”

Kenichi Kitagawa held his chopsticks in reverse as if he had mastered the secret technique without my knowledge.

It seemed like a disaster would happen in the classroom, so I answered quickly.

“Whoops, I’m doing this because of Sento-san’s request, don’t you have any plans to continue?”

“Hey, I see.”

Hotaru, who quietly listened to Kenichi and us, nodded at the same time.

I also continued talking slowly.

“Student council work is rewarding, but it feels better to bully Kenichi.”

“Are you really the devil?”

“Ichimaru-kun, don’t bully Kenichi too much?”

“…… No, Hotaru. If you say that, it’s like I’m really being bullied.”

Kenichi, who had a somewhat uncomfortable expression on his face, ate his lunch box a few times, and his expression returned to normal as if he felt better.

What did you think after that?

He looked at Sento’s seat next to me, then briefly glanced at Eris’s seat in the distance.

Then I will speak.

“Oh, come to think of it, Eris didn’t come to school today.”

“…… Uhm?”

“…… What?”

I see, even I couldn’t help but be astonished by that insensitive comment.

In place of me, who was so shocked and froze, Hotaru answered with wide-eyed eyes.

“No, Kenichi. It’s already been five days since Eris didn’t come to school? Could it be that she is not interested in her classmates other than us?”

Not even just classmates, they were kind of comrades who lived and died together.

Did I realize the seriousness of it belatedly?

The idiot Kenichi looked back at Eris’s seat with a puzzled expression and replied.

“…… Uh, maybe I wasn’t interested…… Is this something to be ashamed of?”

Kenichi averted his eyes as if he couldn’t bear to overcome Hotaru’s swearing gaze. Even so, his mouth moved in a protruding state.

“No, since when did you become so interested in Eris?”

“That’s right, Eris is cute!”

“…… It’s not easy.”

Is cuteness really important?

Even to Fire Maiden Hotaru Ichinose, the blonde Lori Eris seemed to be a hit.

As I was about to shake my head saying I really don’t know what human aesthetic standards are,

“So why take a break?”

Like a netizen, Kenichi spat out a question that suddenly came to his mind,

“He said he went back to England to stay at his parents’ house for a while!”

Hotaru followed her homeroom teacher’s words exactly like her oriole,

“It must have been resolved by now.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Hmm?”

“…… Hmm?”

As a sports festival solver, super-accelerated shaman, excellent teacher, and even a first-class pharmacist, I answered satisfactorily with a smile on my face.

“I just completed the New Testament.”

A special antidote made by combining existing common sense with new knowledge.

I handed it over to Eris.

No matter how far away England is, it must be seeing the effect by now.

***

I once had a dream.

So far, even if a disease or a curse arises, my dad will get up soon after brushing it off.

In a few days, he would recover without incident.

5 Years have passed since I had such a dream.

The age to go to high school was the age to let go of wild dreams.

I was about to give up.

If it wasn’t for one man, I would have given up all the time.

“…… Lady, the head of the household is awake!”

I was suspicious of the more serious air bubbles and jet-black color, but the effect was definitely more outstanding.

My mother woke up first, followed by my father.

At the story she heard from inside the hospital room, Eris was very pleased, but suppressed her impatience and slowly headed towards her father’s place.

…… How long is the hallway depending on the day?

After going through such a long tunnel, I entered the hospital room and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the bed.

William Betelgeuse.

My eyes were slightly blurry, probably because it was just after I woke up, but my father was definitely right.

“…… Dad! Dad!”

Eris, half-crying, ran to her father on her hospital bed, while the nanny wiped away her tears and laughed.

It is a touching reunion.

Like his wife, William will need rehabilitation, but they survived.

It is completely freed from the curse of the villainous black magician who attacked the Japanese magic branch.

…… Everything has been resolved

Eris lowered her head while weeping at the feeling that her shoulders had lightened as if all her worries had disappeared.

A middle-aged man with golden hair and a shaggy beard.

William Betelgeuse murmured, looking at his daughter, who had suddenly grown up, with empty eyes.

“…… How am I alive?”

Very small.
