CH 34

Afterwards, we were ushered into the party hall.

As it was evening when we arrived at the school, we were hungry.

There was a splendid row of food in front of us, and I wanted to eat it right now.

When you’re hungry, all the food looks delicious, doesn’t it?

That meat looked so good.

A whole roasted chicken, browned to perfection.

And while I was distracted by the food.

“Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming to Central Academy.”

The man who had been talking to Chris-sensei appeared on the stage of the party hall.

“I’d like to introduce myself and I’m Ren Nomar. This is the tenth time we’ve held this exchange meeting this year. We would have a friendly rivalry with Sanzar Academy…”

While listening to Ren’s greeting, I spoke to Natalie.

“Can I go get some meat over there?”

Natalie said.

“No. Wait until the greeting is over.”

I was scolded by an 11-years-old girl.

But I couldn’t wait.

The whole roasted bird was looking at me as if it wanted to be eaten.

Do you want to eat it?　[Yes/No].

Owen chose [Yes].

I can’t wait to eat it!

Finally, the greetings were over and the party began with a toast.

I started to move right away.

I put the meat I was looking for on a plate and filled the empty space with salad and bread.

I felt like I was eating more then than when I had the biggest appetite in my previous life.

I’m using magic on a daily basis, which means I’m consuming more energy.

In the past, I would have had no problem with the flab that was wasted on me, but then I was in normal shape.

In fact, I was a little thin.

It seemed that I didn’t have any flab left in my body to consume.

It was as if my body was telling me to eat because I had used up all my energy.

My body was in a growth phase, and my appetite had been increasing lately.

I bite into a whole roasted chicken.

“Delicious!”

The juicy flavor of the meat filled my mouth the moment I bit into it.

It’s a meat festival!

I devoured the meat with all my might.

“Huh?　Speaking of which, I don’t see Natalie.”

As I looked around, I saw Natalie surrounded by boys.

Natalie was cute, you know.

A little further away, Berg was surrounded by girls.

They’re both popular, aren’t they?

Well, they certainly have good looks, family background, and personality.

What about me?

I’m alone, of course.

That was what they call a bachelor aristocrat.

I was not jealous of you at all!

Hahahaha.

I decided to eat my food without worrying about the people around me.

Then, before I knew it, Chris-sensei was standing next to me.

“Hey, why don’t you interact with the others a little more!”

“Sensei. I’m a “Comyu”(communication disorder), so I can’t.”

“Commie? I don’t know anything about that. Just go.”

I couldn’t get the communication disorder through to her.

According to a survey, one in three Japanese people suffer from this communication disorder.

But don’t be fooled by those who call themselves communicative disorder.

People who introduce themselves by saying, “I am a communicative person” are usually lying.

They are too ashamed to tell others that they are communicable.

Just like me!

Did you just say that I called myself a comyu?

I don’t know about that.

I’m the exception.

I’m the one who’s afraid of parties.

I can’t make conversations with people I don’t know.

I’m not that smart!

Okay, let’s go to the bathroom.

A safe haven called the bathroom.

It’s the promised frontier.

As I was leaving the party, Chris-sensei called out to me again.

“Hey, Owen. Where are you going?”

“To the …… restroom.”

“Then I’ll go with you.”

Why was Chris-sensei coming with me?

I mean, what kind of situation was it to pee with a teacher?

Wasn’t it funny?

“Just kidding. I was just joking. I was going to interact with people.”

I spun around and went back into the hall.

“You are the star of the day. I’m counting on you.”

Chris-sensei said, slapping me on the back.

I didn’t see many people coming in for the lead role.

“Oh, well, Chris-sensei. Is that your proud student over there?”

Mr. Ren from Central Academy appeared with a boy in toe.
