“…Hot.”
The morning after the nightly spectacle.
A soft touch enveloped my entire body, and the warm air was suffocating.
I turned my head to the side and saw a breathtakingly large chest, and another chest.
Sigh…
“Airi, are you awake?”
“H-Hic! H-How…”
From the moment I woke up, her chest, which had been moving rhythmically, started to move erratically. It seems Airi needs to work on her acting skills first.
“G-Good morning…”
Still, I have to admit, she greeted me calmly. If you’re going to sneak into someone’s room, you have to at least do that much.
“Airi, I haven’t allowed you to sleep with me yet.”
“B-But!”
As Airi, who was hugging me, got up energetically, I could see the sight of her breasts shaking, wrapped in a thin nightdress.
Hmm, I thought mine were bigger than average, but coming to this school, I’ve realized there’s always someone bigger.
“I couldn’t hug you yesterday…”
*Squeeze*
“I-I did the dishes and cleaned diligently. Still, Eugene looked tired, so I held back…”
She hugged me tightly, but I could feel her consideration in the way she made sure I wasn’t suffocated.
I was the one who broke the promise first, so I guess it can’t be helped.
“Sorry, Airi. For the next week, you can come in at night and hug me.”
So, don’t cry.
“R-Really…?”
“Yes. I’m sorry.”
Airi cries more easily than I thought.
She’s so kind that I feel bad for mistaking her for a ghost at first… She’s a pervert, but the more I see her, the more I think she’s okay.
*Sniff*…Sigh…
“…Don’t smell my hair.”
But she’s a pervert.

“…You’re going with Seo-a today?”
Perhaps it was because I overslept.
After Airi half-forced me to join her in the bathroom and we finished a light shower, I came down to the first floor, but everyone except the two of us had already left the dormitory.
*Munch munch*
Catherine, who prepared a warm meal and disappeared, timed it perfectly for our arrival. It’s a little scary, but… well… Catherine is superhuman, so she must have managed it somehow.
“Yeah. Choi Seo-a said she’d tell me what to do when I follow her.”
“…Would it be alright if I followed you?”
*Spread spread*
I shook my head as I spread jam on the crispy toast.
“Airi is busy too. Well, she won’t eat me, will she?”
“B-Be careful! She…has a bad reputation.”
“Reputation?”
*Munch munch*
“She never misses the top spot at the academy and has won various competitions, a genius in many fields. But… despite being the brightest star, she doesn’t get close to anyone and always disappears during breaks or tea time.”
“…Well, isn’t that possible? She might be the type who prefers to be alone.”
“Q-Quite a few people have seen her wandering around the academy alone at night!”
Ah, this jam is really delicious. It doesn’t seem like ordinary strawberry jam, I wonder if she’ll tell me what brand it is if I ask.
“This academy doesn’t have a curfew, but… anyway, be careful! You never know what she’s thinking…”
*Gulp*
“Yeah, yeah, I’ll be careful. Airi, have a good day too.”
*Squeeze*
“He, hehe…Have a good day…”
After hugging Airi from behind, I left the dormitory.
The sunny weather greeted me immediately. Today feels good for some reason. Is it because my mindset has changed?
Since I’ve decided to endure three years at this school, it’s okay for a small fry like me to enjoy school life a little, right?
“Greetings, Eugene.”
“Good day, Eugene!”
Greetings, Greetings, Greetings, Greetings!!!
“G-Greetings.”
It’s fine that every student I meet greets me, but the greetings are too stuffy.
It feels like I have to return the same greeting…
It’s less than 15 minutes from the dormitory to the Keroom, but perhaps because I kept greeting everyone, it was well past 20 minutes by the time I arrived. I wonder if Choi Seo-a is still there…
*Creak*
“A-Are you there…?”
As I carefully opened the door of the Keroom, the stars began to move, forming a Milky Way.
Sitting at its center, a figure who was not overshadowed by the twinkling stars.
“…You’re here.”
Choi Seo-a.
A terrifyingly beautiful girl with a hime cut hairstyle that really suits her.
If I had met her on the street, I wouldn’t have been able to look her in the eye because of her overwhelming beauty.
“Let’s go. Today we’re working on club activity fees.”
“W-Wait!”
After confirming my arrival, she got up from her seat and started heading somewhere, quickly passing me.
I tried to stop her in my panic, but whether she was deaf or ignoring me, she quickly walked far away.
“Hey, I said wait!”
Damn it… I thought she was something like the student council president, so I was going to treat her a little better.
You threw the first punch, right? I’m not at fault.
“…Hurry up.”
*Pant, pant…*
I ran and ran, but it was hard to keep up with her walking pace.
I wanted to walk alongside her and curse her out, but this way, I look like a dog following its owner.
*Slide*
How much did I walk and run?
The place where Choi Seo-a stopped was the entrance to a classroom. This is… the Kendo club, wasn’t it? I think so.
“Choi Seo-a…”
What, there were people here?
“Hello, Kendo Club.”
Following behind Choi Seo-a, I entered the classroom and confirmed that it was indeed the Kendo club, with various bogu and bamboo swords.
I thought all the students at this school would only do fun, light-hearted club activities, but there’s a demand for active club activities like this too.
“I heard your performance in the recent competition wasn’t good.”
“I-It couldn’t be helped! The club president’s condition wasn’t good…”
“Excuses are meaningless. A true genius should be able to demonstrate their skills at any moment.”
An extremely arrogant statement.
If an ordinary person said that, they would have nothing to say even if they were beaten up, but the speaker, Choi Seo-a, is an undeniable, true genius.
Even I, who only know fragmented facts from Airi, agree, and it must resonate even more deeply with the students attending this school.
Well, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s rude.
“…So, what happens to us?”
“Eugene, your turn.”
“Huh?”
“What do you think we should do?”
Wait, you tell me all that and then leave the decision to me? Is this right?
“I heard you learned everything about our school from Catherine. Then you should be able to handle this much.”
Underlying Choi Seo-a’s words was endless trust.
Catherine and Choi Seo-a, do superhumans have something in common? They both give off the vibe of not having friends.
“E-Eugene…”
The eyes of the seven Kendo club members shifted from Choi Seo-a to me, staring intensely.
This is… unnerving.
Well… I’ve already made up my mind.
“Shouldn’t we give them another chance?”
There’s nothing sadder than being deprived of all opportunities because of a single mistake.
“Go on.”
“No, their club president was sick, right? And I read the Kendo club’s history; they’ve won a lot of awards and been very active until now.”
They should be given a chance to rise again. Especially since they are students, they have even more potential to soar.
“So, let’s not cut their budget and trust them one more time. What do you think?”
“…If you say so.”
“Eugene!!”
“Hey, hey, it’s hot! I’m hot! Don’t cling to me! Choi Seo-a gave the final approval, so cling to her!“
As soon as Choi Seo-a nodded, the Kendo club students started clinging to me.
The sweet scent of the girls, mixed with a hint of sweat. The soft touch transmitted through the thin fabric.
“S-Stop…”
*Whoosh*
Just as I was starting to feel dazed by the overly enthusiastic physical contact, Choi Seo-a grabbed my shoulders and lifted me up.
“We’re busy. Or… are you trying to interrupt me?”
*Glare*
“N-No…”
Oh, as expected of the hated woman.
Even Catherine would have a hard time subduing these athletic girls with a single glance… maybe not. She has to be at Catherine’s level to be her friend.
“Eugene, please visit us again next time!”
“I-If I have the chance.”
Even as Choi Seo-a carried me out of the Kendo club, the members’ greetings continued.
It’s a bit burdensome, but their enthusiasm is nice to see.
By the way…
“Choi Seo-a.“
“Why?”
“Why did you leave the decision to me?”
Perhaps she didn’t like seeing me struggle to keep up, Choi Seo-a now carried me under her arm.
It’s a little embarrassing, but I’m satisfied with the convenient mode of transportation. As we moved, I recalled the exchange at the Kendo club and spoke.
“Because it’s your job from now on.”
“My job?”
“Yes. Originally, Catherine was doing it, but she no longer has the authority.”
“Catherine…”
Catherine.
Considering she’s only a year older than me, was she originally a student at this school?
I don’t know how she became a Sister, but I can imagine what position she originally held.

“Catherine entrusted it to you. So, I’m training you instead.”
“…I understand.”
It’s bothersome, but it can’t be helped.
I don’t like to loaf around and do nothing, and it’s fun to visit various clubs.
“Good, the remaining clubs today are the Art Club and the Ballroom Dance Club. Let’s finish quickly.”
Perhaps because I agreed quickly, Choi Seo-a’s steps as she carried me felt lighter.
“I’m tired…”
After spending two hours negotiating the budgets of the Art Club and the Ballroom Dance Club, I returned to the Keroom, collapsed on the desk, and caught my breath.
The Kendo club, perhaps because they were athletic, were surprisingly easy to persuade, but the Ballroom Dance Club was the problem…
No, they were negligent, so their budget was cut, but if it’s cut, what does it mean to break it with ballroom dancing?
Choi Seo-a just watched… Ugh… I’ll pass the work on to her later.
“Hey, Choi Seo-a. What’s left to do today?”
“…You’re fearless. Aren’t you afraid of me? I’m your senior, you know.”
“Hey, if you’re a senior, act like one and take responsibility for the work! You didn’t show me anything, I did everything!”
*Chuckle chuckle*
“Laughing? You’re laughing!? Do you know how hard it was for me to do ballroom dancing, which doesn’t suit me at all!?”
Taste my despair. Do you know how many times my feet were stepped on while practicing for over an hour?… My insteps still throb.
“You’re special. As expected of someone Catherine brought.”
Choi Seo-a stood up, put on the bag I had seen before at her waist, and walked towards the door.
“Today’s work is done. Go back to the dormitory and rest.”
“…Already?”
“Yes. Studying is meaningless for us Stellas. Well, goodbye then.”
Studying is meaningless…
No, no, that’s not important… She definitely took that bag, right? Then she’s going to sneak out again.
I don’t know where she’s going or what she’s going to do, but I’m dying to know. I have to resolve my curiosity.
*Thump, thump*
I followed Choi Seo-a, who had stepped out of the Keroom, as quietly as possible.
My small stature comes in handy at times like these.
Past the hallway, up the stairs, just one floor up, then towards the rooftop.
Is her destination the rooftop…? I know the school rooftop is closed off. Or is there something I don’t know?
*Click, click*
After hiding and listening to the sounds, I waited for silence before checking the rooftop door. It was just as I knew it – a ‘No Entry’ sign.
Normally, the door would be locked, but if I’m right, it should be open.
*Click*
Yes!
Hehe, Choi Seo-a wouldn’t have imagined anyone coming up here. As expected, she left the door unlocked!
All the students at this school are model students, so they wouldn’t approach if there was a sign like this, but it doesn’t matter to a delinquent student like me. And that goes for you too, Choi Seo-a!
“Hey, Choi Seo-a! Freeze!”
I quickly ran to check on Choi Seo-a, lest she escape.
And I witnessed it.
*Munch munch*
“H-How…”
Munching on potato chips.
*Beep! Beep!*
Choi Seo-a was playing the world’s most famous monster-catching game.
“Ch-Choi Seo-a… you…”
This school confiscates all cell phones that connect to the outside world, let alone game consoles.
Is she holding a Nintendo, the most famous portable game console?
Seeing Choi Seo-a’s dumbfounded expression, I approached her as if possessed.
Her eyes, which always looked at the world coldly, now held the look of a frightened lamb.
“P-Please… don’t tell anyone… I’ll do anything, anything…“
The way she clung to my leg didn’t resemble the shining first-magnitude star at all, and a chilling sense of sadism arose within me.
If it were someone else here instead of me, what would have happened to her?
“A-Amazing!”
Of course, I was interested in the game console, not Choi Seo-a.
