Chapter 230: It’s hard to become a good person
"What do you think?"
"Well, it's okay."
"So lukewarm!"
"Even if I am just awoken, it isn't like I don't know about the mage-knight schools, you know? I am not ignorant."
"I see..."
Somehow, Kurono could imagine that Isao forced himself to learn many things to stay alive, which somehow made her sad. "Anyway, it doesn't matter! Let's go to your room now!"
"Now?"
"Yup." Kurono nodded and said, "You don't have a place to go, right?"
"Well..." Isao had a place to go, but somehow, he decided not to say anything. "I got a room right away?"
"Don't underestimate me. Preparing two or three rooms is nothing for him. In this school, I have the highest authority."
"Is this so-called abuse of your authority?"
"As long as there is a benefit, why not, right?"
"You are right."
"Anyway, come in." Kurono smiled softly and said, "To be honest, it is usually impossible for one to stay in a single room alone since it is intended for two people, but you are a special case, and you have arrived at this school quite late."
"Thanks?"
"Don't thank me so early." Kurono looked at Isao and said, "I want you to show me the result. I have used my authority to let you join the school match to determine the participants of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. In that match, I want you to win.
"Win with an overwhelming power so that no one will say anything to you, okay? Show everyone that I am not wrong with my decision."
"I will." Isao nodded. "But don't forget to support me."
"I will." Kurono nodded and said, "If you want to, you can replicate everyone's ability in this school."
"Is that fine?"
"...."
If it was before, a war might be able to bring something to the leader of many kingdoms, countries, empires, or many types of nations, but now, it is different. Technology has changed everything, and the safety of those leaders can't be guaranteed. Everyone could die, and even at the same time, the existence of Blazer, especially the strong one, couldn't be controlled by the weak.
Not everyone could be like Kurono, who decided to marry early and retire, making her own family, and then took a job as the director of the mage-knight school. The majority of strong Blazers would rob others, whether it was wealth or women; they would take everything until they were stopped.
Still, as he came to this world, he thought about doing something about the current situation, but he knew that this world's situation wasn't his priority. Instead, he should focus on getting stronger, especially when many worlds still needed his help.
Well, many might say that he was strong enough, but he knew that his strength wasn't enough.
How strong was his aim?
If possible, he wanted to become the universe's ruler.
Still, the problem of the world and his aspiration aside, Isao should focus on Kurono more as he had to say she had done a good job of helping him with many things. Not only did she help him to get out of prison, erasing all of his crimes, but she also prepared a place to live and many others for him.
'Now, I can rest.'
Isao then looked at the takeout foods the waitress had given him and was glad he had taken them. Still, if he wished to, he should be able to use the "Online Shopping" ability, but well, it didn't matter.
As it was a night, the school was quiet, and everyone should have gotten rest tonight, considering how late it was.
"Come in."
Nevertheless, Kurono welcomed him to his new place and even opened the door for him.
"Thanks."
Isao nodded and thanked Kurono sincerely, but when he entered, Kurono closed the door.
"Hmm?"
Isao looked at Kurono strangely and asked, "Aren't you going home?" He thought that she would leave him after he entered, but why the hell did this woman enter his place, too?
"I am not." Kurono shook her head and said with a mischievous smile, "I will stay here with you so you won't be lonely."
"....."
Isao tried to become a good person by not touching any married women anymore, but the world didn't allow him.

To be honest, I like this world since most of the chapters are about 1,200 words and are easy to write.
