I'm eating! - 24
Abydos High School Countermeasures Committee.
Â
Â
Â
Abydos Autonomous District where desertification is steadily progressing.
Students and residents are leaving.
The debt shows no signs of decreasing.
Â
Â
Â
To revive Abydos High School, a school in a state of total chaos, they will continue to live their lives diligently today.
Â
Â
Â
"Wow~♤ Long time no see, Nito-chan~♧"
Â
Â
Â
"Uh-huh... Hello, Nonomi."
Â
Â
Â
The entire Countermeasures Committee gathered in the clubroom.
Â
Â
Â
"Senior? Who is this kid?"
Â
Â
Â
Sensei went out to buy sushi with Shiroko, so now it's just me and them.
Â
Â
Â
And Serika?
I'm older than you, you know?
Â
Â
Â
"Serika-chan, you shouldn't treat her like a child~☆"
Â
Â
Â
Ah, wait a minute.
Could it be...?
Â
Â
Â
"Why?"
Â
Â
Â
"She asked me to~â™§"
Â
Â
Â
I couldn't lift my face.
Â
Â
Â
Why are you bringing that up now...?
Â
Â
Â
"Really...? She looks like a kid no matter how you look at her... Is she older than she looks...?"
Â
Â
Â
"Nope~ She'll be in high school next year~♧ Her name's Nito, and she came to school today for a tour~♤"
Â
Â
Â
"Uuuuu..."
Â
Â
Â
"Hmm~."
Â
Â
Â
What is it?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Â
Â
Â
"Nito, do you want to enroll in Abydos?"
Â
Â
Â
"Huh...?"
Â
Â
Â
Suddenly, Serika started trying to recruit me to Abydos.
Â
Â
Â
Nonomi and Ayane sighed and looked on, but they didn't stop her.
Â
Â
Â
What's Hoshino doing?
She's sleeping, of course.
Â
Â
Â
"It's not such a bad place!"
Â
Â
Â
It wouldn't be such a bad place.
Maybe in about five years.
Â
Â
Â
"Hmm... I'll think about it."
Â
Â
Â
"Okay! And... Oh, that reminds me, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Kuromi Serika."
Â
Â
Â
Yeah, I knew that.
Â
Â
Â
"I-I'm Okusora Ayane! Nice to meet you!"
Â
Â
Â
Ayane squeezed in and introduced herself too.
Â
Â
Â
"I'm Aoi Nito..."
Â
Â
Â
"Yeah! Nito! Do you want to call me Senior?"
Â
Â
Â
Serika seems determined to get me to enroll.
Â
Â
Â
"That's a bit..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Ugh... Then at least use polite language! We're older than you!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
That's... true for now...
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Yes..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
There, are honorifics.
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Yeah!"
Â
Â
Â
Serika is very happy.
She's cute.
Â
Â
Â
Â
If she wasn't taller than me, that is.
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Hehe... Then..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Creak-
Thud-!
Â
Â
Â
Â
"I'm back, Nito!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Welcome back."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Just as Serika was about to say something, Sensei and Shiroko returned.
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Shiroko-senpai? Who's that next to you...?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Just a normal adult. They said they're a guest at school."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Compared to Shiroko's madness, Sensei's specs seem pretty normal too.
Â
Â
Â
Â
"A guest at school?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Hmm..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Nice to meet you~."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Sensei greets cheerfully.
He wasn't mistaken for a corpse like in the main story.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
I could've really buried him...
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Wow- I'm surprised. It's been a while since a guest visited our school."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"R-right... Were there any guests who would visit our school...?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Ayane, you wrote the letter, didn't you?
Do you have selective amnesia?
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"I'm the teacher in charge from Schale. Please take care of me."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
You're just a parachute hire, aren't you?
Aren't you being too pretentious?
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Oh, wow?! No way?!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"What?! He was the teacher from the Federal Investigation Club Schale?!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Wow~☆ Our request for support has been accepted! I'm glad, Ayane-chan!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Yes! Finally... we can receive ammunition and supplies."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Seeing them so happy makes me feel strange.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Sensei can be a source of hope for these kids.
He only makes me feel uncomfortable, though.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Still, that's that, and,
Â
Â
Â
Â
"...Sushi."
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Oh, here."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Hehe..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Sushi is sushi.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Yum-
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
I went to the corner of the desk and started eating sushi.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
I was worried that the high temperature of Abydos would make the sushi taste weird, but it was in great condition.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"That reminds me, Nito-chan, you're wearing a school uniform?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Where's that school uniform from?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
My mood soured again.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
I was eating well, why are you suddenly bringing up the school uniform?
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
I stood up, holding my sushi.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
I should eat alone in another empty classroom.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Ah, she's gone..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Did we say something wrong?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Haha..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Only Sensei, who knew the reason, laughed awkwardly.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
ã…¡ã…¡ã…¡ã…¡ã…¡
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Nito left.
She's probably still in the school, though.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
I guess she got uncomfortable when we started talking about the school uniform and left.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Judging by the fact that she dropped out and her reaction, she clearly doesn't have very good memories of her alma mater.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
I was looking at the door that Nito had gone through...
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang-!
Â
Â
Â
"G-Gunshots?!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Noisy sounds and gunshots rang out loudly from outside.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Wah?! A large number of armed personnel are approaching the school! I think it's the Helmet Gang!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"These guys...! They're coming again."
Â
Â
Â
How can an armed group's name be Helmet Gang...?
Â
Â
Â
Â
"I brought Hoshino-senpai! Senpai, wake up! Wake up already!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Ugh... It's not time to wake up yet."
Â
Â
Â
Â
How can she sleep so peacefully when it's this noisy?
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Hoshino-senpai! The Helmet Gang is attacking again! And this person is a teacher from Schale."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Oh my~ That's a big deal... Ugh. And nice to meet you, Teacher."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Wake up, Senpai! It's an emergency! Get your gear! We have to protect the school!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Yaaawn... Ugh. Geez, these Helmet Gang guys are bothering me when I'm trying to sleep."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Naps are important, that's true.
Nito also slept a lot until a month ago.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Wait, Nito?
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Nito! We have to get Nito!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Nito...? Why is she here...?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Everyone was shocked, except Hoshino, who had been asleep and hadn't grasped the situation properly.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Clank-
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Let's charge straight ahead. We don't have to worry about ammo and supplies with the Sensei's visit."
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Yeah, let's all rescue Nito-chan together ☆"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"I'll take charge of the situation. Teacher, please support us from here!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
So, we set off to rescue Nito, who was probably trembling alone.
Â
Â
Â
Â
The Helmet Gang, true to their casually named group, fell like autumn leaves in the wind.
Â
Â
Â
Â
But then we accidentally let one escape,
Â
Â
Â
Â
And she went into a classroom,
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Don't move! I'll shoot if you move!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Hiiik?!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Nito, who was in the classroom, was taken hostage.
Â
Â
Â
Â
"W-Wait a minute! Calm down!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"I-I said I'll shoot if you move!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Teacher, she's the last one! But..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Eek!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Huek?!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
The last one was so excited that it was impossible to reason with her.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Nito trembled every time she made a threat, as she was extremely scared.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Just when the standoff seemed like it would never end,
Â
Â
Â
Â
Boo hoo...
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Huh?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Eh?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"W-Wait-"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Hueeng! Hwaaang! Hueeeng!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Nito got so scared that she started crying.
Â
Â
Â
Â
"H-huh?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"She cried!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
When Nito cried loudly, it was the Helmet Gang member who was flustered instead.
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Wow... she's crying..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
"I-I'm sorry! Don't cry!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Hwaaeeh!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
The girl tried to comfort Nito, who was sobbing sadly, but it was no use.
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Hwaeeh!"
Â
Â
Â
Â
"C-Calm down-"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Thwack-!
Â
Â
Â
Â
Thud.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Shiroko knocked out the girl, who had turned her back to comfort Nito.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Nonomi took Nito out of the classroom to comfort her, who was still crying.
Â
Â
Â
Â
So, despite the crisis, the incident was resolved.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
ã…¡ã…¡ã…¡ã…¡ã…¡
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Sniff..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"There, there, it's okay now, Nito-chan~."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Sniff..."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Why are you doing this to me when I was just eating...?
I couldn't even eat properly because of you guys!
Â
Â
Â
Â
I resented the Helmet Gang in my heart.
Â
Â
Â
Â
I couldn't even eat my sushi properly because of you!
I ended up crying in front of them!
Â
Â
Â
Â
And... I'm too weak...
Â
Â
Â
Â
I resented myself.
Â
Â
Â
Â
What a shitty life...
