CH 15

I don’t know why, but whenever the yes-man vice principal sees me, he screams.

I wish he’d get used to it by now, but today his scream is particularly loud.

But I can’t back down at this point, so I press the vice principal.

“Mr. Vice Principal! I found this on the flag outside the school building!

It was disguised as a school flag, but it’s ……!”

“Keee! Kyee! KYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

The vice principal chases me off the courtyard lawn with his foot as if I am a monster.

“Why does Leopin have the skin of the flying dragon?”

“I didn’t say anything about this being the skin of a flying dragon, but ……?

How can you tell just by looking at it?”

Then the vice principal clamped his mouth shut with an expression of “Oh no!” in the middle of lunch on the courtyard.

The students, who were in the middle of lunch on the courtyard, jumped up and down, “What?”

“Hey, that piece of trash is carrying a ‘Flying Dragon Skin’!”

“Really? It just looks like a black skin to me!”

“But the vice principal said it clearly! The Vice Principal clearly stated that it is the skin of the flying dragon. ……”

“If that’s the case, then as soon as the vice principal receives it, that trash ……,  Leopin, will become student body president!”

The students’ murmurings makes the vice principal’s face turn increasingly pale.

I don’t know what is going on, but the teacher, who has reached his limit in color, shouts as if he is having a nightmare.

“No, no, no! There’s no way that’s the “skin of the flying dragon! I just misread it!”

“What? But this is really ……”

“That’s just a dirty black skin! Don’t let that nasty thing near me!

You can do whatever you want with that garbage! Garbage is good for you, Leopin!”

“Are you sure you don’t want it? Then I’ll take it without reservation.”

I unexpectedly got the “Flying Dragon Skin”.

The vice principal chases me away, saying, “If you’re done talking, I’m going over there! I turned around and walked away from him.

As soon as the conversation finishes, Monaka appears like a fresh breeze and says, “Good morning, Leo-kun.”

“Oh, good morning, Monaka. It’s already noon, though.”

“Fufu you overslept. Have you eaten lunch yet?”

“No, not yet. I haven’t eaten anything since this morning.”

Monaka was carrying a gorgeous double-layered bento box.

“Would you like to share half of this one with me?”

I look around and see that everyone was eating the same lunch.

Apparently, this is a gift from a supporter.

The same as the buffet at the entrance ceremony, they probably don’t have any for me.

“No, it’s okay. No, it’s okay. The supporters brought this lunch for Monaka, didn’t they?

Then Monaka must eat it. If you don’t, it will interfere with your classes in the afternoon.

Besides, I’ve got this, so I’ll be fine.”

I reach into my pants pocket and pop a seed from the Mashibai tree into my mouth.

I picked them up yesterday when I went mushroom hunting.

“How about exchanging them for some nuts?

I’d like to have some of your nuts.”

“Really? In that case, ……”

I hand one of the nuts to Monaka and she stabs the chicken with her fork and holds it out to me.

“Yes, Leo, please say aaah~.”

“Ahhhh. …… Yeah, it’s good. That’s good chicken.”

“Fufufu, Thank you very much.”

Suddenly, a sweet breeze blows.

Akemi was standing there, brushing her wavy hair.

“I was wondering if I could have some of those berries. I want to use them for alchemy.”

I said, “Sure. Here,” and hand her the fruit.

Then Akemi stabs a piece of broccoli from the lunch box of a servant-like student standing next to her and brings it to my mouth.

“Here, ahhh~.”

“Aah! …… Yeah, this is good, too.”

“That’s good to know.”

I notice that Sinobuko is next to me like a shadow.

Sinobuko silently thrusts a sausage shaped like an octopus at me.

Onesako, who has come to me with Sinobuko, shouts at her, questioning her sanity.

“What are you doing, Shinobuko?

We’ve come to bring back Monaka-sama, and now you’ve come to him too……?”

Shinobuko shakes her head left and right, “Ninin.”

“This is the final meal-degozaru.

The next time we meet, this man will be dead-degozaru.”

I eat the sausage as she shoves it into my mouth.

“Then I’ll have another one ……, please.”

“I’ll give you another one, just for the fun of it. Yes, ahh~.”

“Nin. The fatter you make them, the more they will be worth cutting-degozaru”

Monaka, Akemi and Shinobuko took turns bringing my lunch to my mouth.

The students watching around me are so shocked that they couldn’t hold their mouths shut.

“What the heck is ……?”

“Monaka-sama and Akemi-sama are so beautiful that they compete for the top five in the school…!?”

“I can’t believe the two of them are good friends with such trash…!?”

“And that they are so close that they even let each other eat their lunches. ……”

“Shocking. ……! I’m doing everything I can for Akemi-sama and she won’t even look me in the eye. ……”

“Ugh, I actually adord Shinobuko-san. ……!　And yet, and yet, ……!”

“Ugh, I’m so jealous of ……!”

I am unexpectedly full from the three girls’ ” ahh attack “.

And then my body started to glow.

“Oioi, just eating the lunch box has taken me to the next level.”
