Chapter 47
[Crossing Evil]
It’s been about a week after the day we met Yoiyami-san .
My injury was almost completely healed, and the training resumed from yesterday .
Ability measurement will be conducted at school today .
The SDF’s strengthened patrol week is still ongoing, but there is no movement from Nursery Rhyme . That’s why it seems that there’s a talk that they would send as many staff as possible to do ability measurement of each school .
It’s the information that I heard from Boss .
If the school tournament is postponed, it will also affect the winter break, which is shortly afterwards .
The period from the ability measurement to the school tournament is imminent, so the atmosphere of the surrounding students was quite tense . There are also many students who are dissatisfied .
However, it didn’t concern me as I didn’t participate in the school tournament .
As a person without ability, I can of course decline the ability measurement .
So, at the moment, I as well as other people without ability was gathered and told to do self study assignments in a classroom .
Well, there’s no serious guy who really does self studying, but most people are talking to their surroundings .
I’m one of them, and I was having a friendly chat with Tsurugi and Ohashi .
It seems that it’s the first time that Roll took an ability measurement . I wanted to see how the test like, because I wanted to use it as a reference for my ability measurement next year .
Though there’s a chance that Roll’s hidden ability to be found out, will it be okay?
“Haaー, it’s over . ”
Suddenly, Rin who was seriously doing the self study assignments, looked up and said that .
She hand over a few prints to Tsurugi .
“Oh, thank you . After copying this, let’s go to play . ”
Tsurugi then shares the prints to me and Ohashi .
Those who finished this self study assignments can go back home .
Rin, who lost the rock-paper-scissors, was doing the assignments . It was always me who lost, but I managed to win today .
Now, all we have to do is copy this and return .
I’ve told Roll that after finishing the self study, I will go to play with Tsurugi and the others .
Because Roll will take a long time anyway, I don’t have to report things like that, but just in case . Wherever and with whom, this report must not be neglected . It seems that it is important for partners to know each other’s location information .
“Rin, your handwriting is messy . ”
“I did it in a hurry, so it can’t be helped . If you don’t like it, then don’t look . ”
“I’m sorry . ”
I tried to interact with Tsurugi and the others with the same sense of distance as before . Because it’s also bad if I suddenly try to keep subtle distance .
Personally, I wanted to get along as usual .
When my position changes, then I can’t help it, but right now I’m “Kamiya Kazato” .
Roll also understand that .
After a while, I finished copying the assignments, and it seems that Ohashi and Tsurugi also finished copying at the same time, then I started to put my writing tools inside my bag .
“Then I’ll submit it for everyone . Wait for me at the school gate, okay?”
Tsurugi said so, then we handed over our self study assignments to him .
After saying goodbye to Tsurugi, we head towards the school gate .
“Kazato, how are you and Roll?”
On the way to the school gate, Rin asked such question .
So it started, while thinking that, I answer .
“Nothing in particular, it’s the usual . ”
“That answer come out . What do you think, Hitomi?”
“Kamiykun has changed somewhat since he started dating Roll-chan . ”
Changed? In what meaning?
“How?”
I moved my eyes to Ohashi and asked back .

“Hmm . First of all, you started to workout, right? You seem to have become a lot more muscular than before . ”
“Oh, that’s because Roll told me to workout . ”
“Eeh, so you really do workout . ”
Or rather, did I really changed that much? I think that my muscles are pretty developed, but I don’t think you can see them through my clothes .
“And your grades improved as well . ”
“That’s because we’re already in 2nd year . It’s inevitable . ”
“You also taught me, right?”
“……well . ”
“The effect of Roll is big, right?”
Rin shrugged her shoulder and said that .
“I admit that . ”
“So, how far have you progressed with Roll?”
“I can’t answer that……”
“Tell us!”
“I also want to know!”
As we were having that talk, Tsurugi caught up from behind .
“What are you talking about?”
“We’re talking about where to go to play . ”
“N? It’s the department store, right? Shopping for Rin and Hitomi . We are luggage holders . ”
“You do that alone . ”
If you take a bus from the bus stop in front of the school, it will take about 15 minutes to arrived at the large department store in the center of the city .

The department store has become a regular place for the students from our school to drop by after school, we also often came there to play . I’ve also came here with Roll before .
The time was before noon and we were hungry, so we decided to have a lunch first after arriving at the department store .
Each of us bought our favorite food, then we sit around the food court table .
Usually, this food court is full of students after school, but they’re currently measuring their abilities, so we were the only ones in uniform .
“Kazato, what do you want to be in the future?”
Tsurugi gave such topic to me .
“I think I will study and go to college . ”
“Do you want to be a civil servant? Is that why you want to go to college?”
“Yeah . Well, if you don’t have an ability, your options will be narrowed as well . ”
When I said that, the faces of Tsurugi and the others become complicated .
Maybe they are worried about me .
But there’s no need to worry . Unless Anonymous is crushed by the SDF, I can continue to live there .
Ohashi and Rin might also lied about their inability .
I wonder if deep down they are feeling pity for my inability .
If so, they might be happy to know that I have manifested my ability .
It would be convenient if it were like that . I hope so in my heart .
I know their secrets, but they don’t know my secrets .
I have no choice but to hide it, and there must be a reason why they can’t talk about it as well .
Therefore, because I have the upper hand, now I feel like I’m fooling them for some reason .
“What will you do in the future, Tsurugi?”
I suppose he will continue to work in the Self Defense Force .
In the future, he may become famous as an ally of justice . Even now he’s already a lieutenant general, but the SDF seems to hide the existence of Tsurugi, so few people know him .

“I, that’s right……, I wonder if I can be a traveler . I want to freely travel around various cities . ”
“Because you’re a handsome guy, I think it’s possible for you to enter the entertainment world . ”
When I said so, the two girls refute me .
“What are you talking about? If he does that, there will be more obstructive women gathering around Tsurugi . ”
“I want you to stop that~ . ”
After finishing the meal while chatting . Rin and Ohashi brought us to the floor that specially for men’s fashion shop .
In the course of the talk, we decided to look over men’s clothes first .
However that is only a front, you guys only wanted to make Tsurugi as a dress up doll, right .
I can see through their real feelings, but as usual, I just go along with them .
Ohashi and Rin walked at the front, and were carefully selecting which shop to enter .
I and Tsurugi were chatting while following them from behind .
At that time, I suddenly felt a familiar feeling from a tall man who passed by .
I stop and look back .
However, I can’t tell his appearance from behind . But he looked like the man from Nursery Rhyme .
There’s no way……, He shouldn’t be . But if I’m not wrong, he’s the man called Haru……
Why is he in a place like this?
“What happened?”
Tsurugi asked me when he sees that I had stopped .
“Sorry, can I go to the toilet?”
“Oh, I see . I’ll email you which shop we enter . ”
“Please . ”
I walked away from Tsurugi and the others and chased that tall man .
