#132 - How can I bear this injustice?
Having used Ittou Shura, Ikki Kurogane only needed to lie in bed, while Stella, who had already lost and become a servant, had more to consider.
"While despising those who judge you with preconceived notions, you then judge others with preconceived notions... Stella, you're really going too far."
"Ugh!"
Stella's shoulders visibly twitched.
Now that they had returned to the dormitory, Ikki Kurogane, due to excessive exhaustion, was lying stiffly on the upper bunk. Stella's eyes kept glancing at him, seemingly wanting to know what secrets the man who defeated her was hiding.
Zun Zun couldn't help but chuckle at her behavior.
"You've already become Ikki's servant, this is your punishment, right?"
"That was just a figure of speech!"
"No way!"
Stella's face flushed red as she suddenly screamed, then, as if afraid that her loudness would wake Ikki Kurogane, she guiltily covered her mouth.
Oh ho~
This girl really likes lewd things.
Zun Zun only said a few words, and Stella already imagined indescribable scenes. Just now, her mind must have conjured up all sorts of scenarios, right?
This can't be entirely blamed on her.
Stella's inherent Device, on the surface, is a natural interference-type high-temperature flame, but in reality, it's a concept interference-type Dragon God Possession (embodying the power of a dragon at the pinnacle of mythical creatures within oneself). Dragon nature is... well...
"I understand, I understand."
Zun Zun and Stella sat at the small round table in the living room. He placed his hands under his chin, making the same signature gesture as a certain Commander.
"Stella, you want to apologize, right?"
"...Eh?"
"Although you regret losing the match due to your own arrogance and carelessness, you also acknowledge Ikki more, and at the same time, you feel that you hurt his pride... Am I right?"
"Y-yes..."
Stella lowered her head slightly.
Her nature is good, but after a series of events such as being seen naked, being provoked, being challenged, and Ikki Kurogane's stubborn refusal to admit defeat, Stella still couldn't hold back. Just as Zun Zun said, she, like others, despised Ikki Kurogane.
"Then I'll teach you a way to apologize."
"A way to apologize?"
Stella looked at the smiling Zun Zun.
But what's wrong, that smile made her shiver involuntarily.
She always felt that he had bad intentions.
"Stella, do you know that in this country, there's a custom where you have to expose your stomach and chest to apologize."
"W-wait, I've never heard of such a thing!"
"Because you're not from this country."
Zun Zun waved his hand at Stella, who was so agitated that her face turned red, and said, "But I think you wouldn't want to do that, right?"
"T-that's obvious!"
"So, I'll teach you a better, more suitable method."
"...What is it?"
"All you have to do is kneel in front of Ikki, lift your twin tails, open your mouth, stick out your tongue, and slightly roll your eyes upwards."
"That's it? Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
Stella blinked her eyes. She didn't understand what this meant, but it was probably a custom of this country. However, compared to exposing her stomach and chest, this way of apologizing was already very good, and she was more accepting of it.
Just then.
Ikki Kurogane let out a slight groan, a sign that he was about to wake up.
The consumption of Ittou Shura was indeed great.
It had only been a minute, but he had been lying down for almost 8 hours, and the day was already over.
"Then good luck to you."
Zun Zun gave Stella a thumbs up, revealing his white teeth, and left the dormitory. Not long after he left, screams erupted again in the dormitory.
"S-Stella!? What are you doing!?"
"Eh? N-no, this, this is what Zun Zun told me was a special way of apologizing in this country..."
"There's no such way of apologizing in this country!"
"What did you say!"
— — — —
This is revenge, oh.
Stella went berserk in the Chairman's office, and the high temperature caused the fire sprinklers to activate, making her bed wet. If he didn't do something, Zun Zun really couldn't swallow this anger.
Now he came to the Chairman's office, not to rest, but to discuss matters.
"Chairman, let me also participate in this year's Representative Selection Tournament!"
"No, you haven't enrolled yet."
"Then let me enroll!"
"No."
"I...!"
Wait, wait, wait, can't say any more.
If it goes on like this, it will become a topic of not being able to fight Luke without 90 sets.
Zun Zun looked at Shinguuji Kurono, who was frantically writing and handling official business in front of the desk, unable to even raise her head. After quickly thinking about countermeasures in his mind, he said:
"Chairman, I believe I have a reason to participate in the Representative Tournament, and it will also be beneficial to you."
"Oh?"
Shinguuji Kurono, who had been perfunctorily dealing with him, put down her pen after hearing him say this, intending to listen.
"Tell me about it."
"As far as I know, the ranking of Hagun Academy has not been high in recent years. Last year, the strongest student council president was only fourth place.
Therefore, the board of directors chose to let you take over and helped you clean up the previous group of parasites.
But I think these things come at a price, otherwise they wouldn't be so easy to talk to, and even put pressure on you. For example... winning this year's Seven Star Sword Art Festival."
Hearing Zun Zun say this, Shinguuji Kurono became even more interested. She probably didn't expect that Zun Zun, who was only 13 years old, could see through these things.
"Evidence?"
"The evidence is that you didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to bring the Second Princess of Famelion to this academy. In order to make her understand that there is always someone better, you even specially let the 'weakest' Ikki fight her. Chairman, you're really wicked."
"What if Ikki Kurogane loses?"
"How could he? Ikki Kurogane, who defeated a teacher—an A-rank Knight—to gain admission, can't possibly lose to a princess who has become arrogant and conceited."
"Heh... Hahahaha...!"

Shinguuji Kurono laughed heartily. She took out a cigarette from her bosom and slowly lit it.
White smoke spread throughout the room.
"Continue, how will letting you participate benefit me?"
"The benefit is that there will be a greater chance of winning this year's Seven Star Sword Art Festival. As long as there is this..."
Zun Zun pointed to his head.
There, there was a crown woven from dry branches, and there was a red gem on the crown, which was quite conspicuous.
Shinguuji Kurono stared carefully at this crown and did not refute it. Obviously, she also agreed with Zun Zun's statement.
Finally—
"Chairman, you don't want your victory to slip away from your grasp, do you?"
"Hiss — — — —"
Shinguuji Kurono took a hard puff.
After a long silence.
"I understand. Then I will make an exception and allow you to enroll. As for the age..."
The thing about files, to put it bluntly, there is no difficulty in forging them at all.
As long as Shinguuji Kurono clearly stated that Zun Zun's participation would greatly increase the probability of winning the Seven Star Sword Art Festival, even if those guys on the board of directors had complaints, they would hold their noses and do things well.
Everything is easy to say when it is done.
If it fails, there will be post-event settlements.
Shinguuji Kurono also clearly understood this point and said, exhaling white smoke: "You kid really gave me a problem."
"All investments are worth it."
Zun Zun smiled and said to her: "To prove it, I will simply take the victory in the selection match."
"Big talk."
Although she said that, Shinguuji Kurono still agreed in her heart.
"I agree to your admission request, but afterwards I will have someone teach you... no, it should be said to communicate, this is the condition, you have no right to refuse."
"Okay, I agree."
After obtaining permission to enroll, Zun Zun cheered and left the Chairman's office. He was going to the teaching office to apply for his own dormitory.
After he left, the door of the room he originally lived in was opened, and a girl walked out from inside.
She was wearing a gorgeous kimono with a floral pattern printed on it. The wide-open collar did not reveal an attractive fullness, and she had a huge bow tied on her head. The folding fan in her hand shook gently.
"Is that the kid? Is it really okay to let him enroll."
"Ah, his strength cannot be underestimated."
Shinguuji Kurono touched her chest. Even after three days, she still had a numb phantom pain.
Seeing her like this, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, as if thinking about something bad.
"Hmph... Is that so."
— — — —
After completing the enrollment procedures, Zun Zun had his own dormitory but no roommate, which was a bit of a pity.
Then he ran to the large bathhouse.
Hagun Academy has complete facilities, including a large bathhouse, allowing Zun Zun, who had not taken a bath for a long time, to enjoy himself.
"Hoo — —, bliss, bliss."
Just as Zun Zun was comfortably lying on the edge of the bathtub, he heard slight footsteps.
Oh, is someone coming?
When the person slowly stopped and stood in front of his head, Zun Zun opened his eyes and looked up at the person.
— — Very tender.
This is the men's bathhouse?
Or did I go to the wrong place?
"No, I came here on purpose. Don't worry, I have set up a barrier, no one will come to disturb us."
Hiss — — — —
I thought Cecily was already invincible, who is this general?
Said to Zun Zun: "Okay, let's begin. Don't even think about breaking free, my ability is gravity manipulation."
"What?"
Zun Zun wanted to get up, but was pressed into the bathtub by this huge gravity and could not move.
No.
I can't stand this grievance, my newly awakened inherent Device!
