Alright, time to kidnap and imprison an innocent beautiful girl for the sake of peace! I have absolutely no ulterior motives; I’m just acting for the sake of peace, so please forgive me.
Having barely passed the exam thanks to being bumped up from the waiting list, I, Geld, set out from the inn with my chest puffed out, ready to attend Desroah Academy.
Since I skipped yesterday’s Entrance Ceremony and didn’t go to school, I might already be the odd one out in class.
Last time, I was reluctant to part with Shino and was scheming to somehow get her into the dorms, but this time, I honestly left the inn.
I’m still sad about being separated from Shino for so long since I’ll be living in the dorms again, but I’ve become emotionally unstable whenever I see Shino lately, so I thought it would be best to take a little distance for now.
Perhaps because I now understand the difficulty of leveling up with real experience, Shino can grasp, even roughly, how much hardship I’ve overcome.
That “You’ve worked hard, haven’t you?” was filled with incredible consideration, affection, and kindness. Or at least, it felt like it. Thanks to that, I haven’t been able to look Shino in the face properly since then.
As I walked through the southeastern district where the academy was located, I began to see students wearing the same uniform as me here and there.
Almost all students seem to live in the dorms, but students from the Royal Capital might be allowed to commute from home, or maybe not.
Unlike Royal Ukyak Academy, which had an overall rigid, inorganic, and austere image, this Des, Des… Ah, there’s a sign.
Desroah Academy has a structure that evokes history and emotion, with a somewhat chaotic feel, giving it a starkly contrasting impression to Royal Ukyak Academy. The brick-built school buildings are particularly symbolic. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the school itself is one stylish antique.
The uniforms are also different from Royal Ukyak Academy’s sharp, bluish blazer type; this one seems to be a fashionable black robe-like garment with a cape.
I joined the group of black-robed students walking from the dorms and headed towards the first-year building. While stylish on its own, this robe suddenly exploded with suspiciousness when in a group.
Unlike Royal Ukyak Academy, which is strict about seniority, this academy seems to have a kind design where all grade levels’ classrooms are on the second floor. While it’s easy and effortless during the first year, the big downside is that you can’t gloat over the struggling first-years when you’re a third-year, so it’s a wash.
“…………Oh.”
As the group of black-robed students who passed through the school gate separated into their respective school buildings by grade, I couldn’t help but exclaim when I saw the back of one student in the same first-year flow as me.
Blonde Long Twin-tails. It’s Blonde Long Twin-tails. I don’t remember any of the original characters anymore, but Blonde Long Twin-tails is probably, no, definitely one of the named characters. Or rather, she’s definitely a heroine.
Unable to contain my excitement, I walked faster and overtook the student, then glanced back casually. Every guy must have done something similar before.
“Hm? What is it?”
“Eh? Nothing, really?”
“……Tch.”
When I played dumb, she clicked her tongue. What a girl to do that to someone she just met.
I walked away quickly again to avoid getting into trouble unnecessarily. I can’t afford to stir up trouble with the original characters yet.
And there’s no mistake. She’s definitely one of the heroines.
Blonde Long Twin-tails. A slightly bossy, haughty, and proud attitude. And a super beautiful girl who might even rival Shino… This is exactly the template of templates. There must be countless characters like her.
Finally, finally, I’ve approached one aspect of the original work…!
The emotions that had been stagnant for years finally took a step forward, and my heart was filled with joy, excitement, and a jumbled mess—
“…………”
—all of that was blown away the moment I saw that girl.
The moment I entered a classroom in Group 1. The moment I saw the light blue-haired girl sitting by the window. My mind went blank, and I could only stand there, frozen.
“…………”
“Um…”
“…………”
“Hey, you’re in the way.”
“…Eh, oh. Sorry.”
Apparently, I had been standing blankly at the entrance.
I somehow managed to put on a calm face and sat down in a nearby empty seat.
But what, what is that woman?
I don’t know anything other than that she has light blue, slightly wavy hair that reaches her shoulders. Her height is unknown because she’s sitting. Her figure is also unknown because she’s wearing a loose robe.
However, only her face is visible, and that face… I haven’t seen it clearly from the front, so I can’t be sure, but even I, who am biased towards Shino, might rate her as higher than Shino… No, no way. Shino must be the most beautiful girl in the world. But if that’s the case, then that woman is definitely in second place.
And more than anything… what is that rising allure? There’s almost no exposure, and her body lines aren’t visible at all. That allure that makes me feel like I’m about to lose myself… a girl of fifteen or so shouldn’t be emitting that.
“…………”
“Um…”
“…………”
“Hey, that’s my seat.”
“…Eh, oh. Sorry.”
I was so flustered that I sat down in a random seat. Where is my seat?
And how can the other guys stay calm with a woman like that nearby… Ah, they’re not. Everyone is very aware of her. They’re talking to someone or reading a book, but they’re all glancing at that woman. And I’m probably one of them too.
I checked the seating chart posted next to the blackboard.
My seat is in the back row on the aisle side, and that woman is in the front row by the window… Her name is Millie. Millie, huh.
I ended up with the farthest seat, which is either good or bad. If I had a seat next to her, I could eavesdrop on conversations and gather information, but otherwise, it’s better to be far away so that I’m not distracted by her allure.
“…Phew.”
I sat down in my seat and breathed a sigh of relief. The day has just begun, but my emotions have been in turmoil, and I’m already tired.
But unlike last time, I don’t have to storm into each classroom anymore, so I’ll accept this much as a necessary price.
Now that I’ve found that woman… Millie, I don’t have to do anything else.
There’s no need to look for the Harem Bastard or the other heroines. There’s no way Millie isn’t a heroine, so if I just watch Millie, I’ll find them eventually.
And Millie is the one I’ve decided to kidnap. I’ll just redo it if I’m wrong, but I don’t think that will be necessary. Who else could play the role of being tormented in an erotic doujinshi other than her? It’s definitely her. No doubt about it.
Alright, how should I kidnap her…?
