7 SLEEPER
New Jumpatan

Telling a little story before.

Despite my help training the magic test participants are secret military projects and the people of the Laboratory.

The news about me had already reached the ears of the teachers at the Academy, although it had not yet leaked into the ears of ordinary people.

They are suing the labor and military for using their students in dangerous projects.

I agree with the academy. But I also enjoy the money from the results of training them.

I feel bad for both sides.

Therefore they formed a secret meeting without me, and they made a decision without asking for my opinion.

How selfish of these people.

The root of the problem is me.

That's why I was forbidden from participating in their experiments until I was actually declared a graduate from the academy.

The academy is very attentive to its students. Even though I have to be willing to lose a lucrative additional income.

Come on, let's forget all that. My role as a student should be to learn. After all my initial goal was to find the ringleader of the group that tried to hurt Rin.

But there is also something that is not less important.

Midterm exam.

As a student, testing is certainly one of the things most students hate.

But, inevitably, Accept no Accept, the test will definitely come, sooner or later.

And that's what pissed off my classmates.

I have not been very familiar with them all and my classmates also seem to always keep their distance from me.

It was because of my relationship with Rin who is the Princess of this Country.

My class and Rin are different, but they still interact with me.

They assume that Rin is hard to get close to, let alone me who looks familiar with Rin to the point that they think me and Rin are Fiancees.

Hahaha I got a stomach ache from laughing when they asked that.

" Hahaha, you guys were serious all this time thinking that Rin and I were fiancees ?"

" I'm sorry for being so sassy!"

Some of the children tried to ventured to offend my relationship with Rin in the middle of a group discussion in their dormitory.

" Where is possible, hahaha. He's not my type. "

" Eh, when Princess Catherine is so Charming?" Said man 1

" H... ?!"

" No, I don't mean to be presumptuous, I swear "

" What did you say was Charming ?"

" It's true, is there something wrong?"

" No, there's nothing wrong with your statement. It's just that I didn't expect you guys not to say it directly in front of the guy directly."

" No, we don't dare. " Male 2

" Why ?" Much

" Our status alone is much different" Men 2 continued.

" What is different about me ?"

" Eh Rion San, don't joke. That's not funny "

" In fact I am serious, two rius instead "

" ... "

" Don't tell me, you guys all this time thought me and Rin were equal ?"

They both nodded steadily.

" Haha... Look, Rin and I are friends from childhood. It's hard to be happy, we went through together. We also often make trouble and get angry together. Starting food tastes until our game is all the same. Rin is more than a friend and nothing more than a brother. "

" I don't understand. "

" Rin I've considered as my own little sister. So it's impossible for me to have a romantic relationship with him."

" But those of us who see it will certainly not come to such a conclusion "Man 1 opined.

" Right, we saw it, you're always friendly wherever you are "

" It's not friendly, it's a familiar name. You are the ones who haphazardly conclude. Yosha's... My part's done..."

" Thu... Wait a minute.. !!" These two classmates frantically worked on their respective part group tasks.

" Me and Rin are dating ?" I murmured slowly as I tried to lie down.

I wonder if he was asked the same question.

Haha...

******

The next day, when the second day we completed the group task which was delayed yesterday.

Since my part was done, I helped them get their work done quickly.

This time we did not work in their dormitory, but we did in the school cafeteria.

The lunch hour was over, not many disciples had come either. Actually we want to make it in the library, but weighing there should not be a fuss so we choose here because the table is wide and free to discuss.

" Ri-kun's... Still not ?" Rin came alone with her school bag.

He had no more classes today due to the preparation of the writing exam, so the teacher was busy preparing for the matters.

" Not yet, a little more. Just wait here "

" Rojar "Rin salutes shamelessly with his status.

" Oy, where are you looking !!" I hit their heads one by one with a pencil, when their concentration was on Rin who suddenly came.

Rin, who was not aware of herself in the spotlight, instead added to their concentration, as she tried to peek at our group's work up close, so close that their cheeks almost touched.

Added Rin unconsciously justifies her hair behind her ears.

Ordinary people would also not be strong with the temptation of girls when they exposed the nape of their necks.

Moreover, this came from the most phenomenal and famous girl.

" Oy, Rin don't bother them, sit here "

" I'm not interrupting, I'm just peeking a little "

" Sit here, eat this, this, this, this too, this too "I bribe Rin with various sweet foods.

"And for the two of you, quickly move on!!" I gave them one more punch in the head with a pencil.

" If you can finish it before all Rin's snacks run out, I'll give you the same portion, free"

Persuade me, because we're running out of time. This task must be collected and presented tomorrow.

Because it's the last day.

Seeing Rin eating voraciously, they got more excited and worked on it quickly.

I don't know if they're excited by food or Rin's smile.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that our task is completed, and tomorrow's presentation is just to prepare ourselves with the material we will bring.

" As I promise, please enjoy it, please do not hesitate"

As I promised, I gave them the same snack with the same portion of each of them.

Rin looked jealous when her last snack was running out.

The virgin men even melt and give up the snack, when Rin accidentally shows the face of wanting their snack.

Rin who was smiling while thanking them looked very charming.

" Heee... "

" What? " Rin with her Plain face looked at me with dislike when the snacks of the virgins she brought to her mouth.

" I'm the only one who's always given you a snack never got a thank you and that smile "

" Really ?"

" It's right "

Rin swallowed her food quickly, and then smiled like that and said Thank you.

" ... "

" What else ?" Rin asked as I muttered indistinctly.

" No, it's just that I don't feel stunned every time I see you smile."

" What is the benefit?" Ask him plain.

" That's it, I'm surprised too. Recently I even had a chance to hear a rumor that we were both engaged "

" Who?"

" I "

" Who's with ?"

" With you "

" I ?"

" Um... "

" Ah, girls also often gossip about the same thing "

" What they say "

" If it's not wrong, they had time to say, me and Ri-kun fit into a couple "

" Hee I don't think girls really like that kind of gossip "

" I also think like that "

" .... "

""....""

" Oy, you're a girl too "

" Right too, tehe~~ "

" Don't tehe~~ me, you're this. Eating is still a problem, even though it is big "

" Ri-kun clean it for me "

" You are this... "

"" Are you actually lovers or not ?""

The two men next to me reacted with the same question when they saw my affection and Rin.

" Hear me here, Rin and I are like brothers because life is always together"

" Right, me and Ri-kun are brothers "

" Rin I've considered her my sister"

" Ri-kun I think of as my little brother"

"" I'm the sister ""

"" You're his sister""

"" No, you!!""

"" Grrrr""

" So which one ?" Ask the guy 1

"" I'm the big brother!!""

"" No, I'm !!""

" You even look more harmonious " Sahut pira 1 again.

" You two sure you're not dating ?" Ask the man 2.

"" No !""

"" Don't imitate me !""

"" You imitate me "" We answered together for the umpteenth time.

" Ok, enough. Let's just stop it here. If it continues there will be no end" Pinta ku.

" Yes, I don't have a problem. Ri-kun, I want ice cream !"

" This you, the more you don't know "

Rin just sneered with my babble.

But without us knowing. Our conversation today will be the lips of people who are randomly in the cafeteria the next day.

And the gossip about us dating gets stronger with the addition of spice to this and that story in their gossip.

To the extent that this rumor entered the palace and became a conversation among the people in the palace.

"" You dug your own grave ""

Men 1 and 2 finish me off with their pearls.

I can even hear His Majesty laughing at the moment.

******

The exam weeks are over.

All subjects will be released up to 3 days in the future.

I had 3 days of free time. But I don't have a plan. I'm not in the school club. I'm also in PHK from my part-time job.

In the palace there is nothing interesting.

Taking the mission alone I still did not dare, for reasons of fear of getting lost.

Men one and two, there are also club activities.

Izumi and Momo were also busy with their Club.

Rin instead uses that time for her socialite events with Kazu and Yuki.

Dad's still on his way to work, Mom... No, I better not bother him.

What do I do for the next 3 days ?

The only option is to take the Mission.

I just need to take another coyote mission and hang around the city until the afternoon and just report it.

Right, that's all.

*******

But expectations do not always come true.

" Excuse me... " I tried calling the receptionist at an unattended counter.

" Yes, please wait a minute" said a young woman at a table not far behind the counter.

" Can I help you ?" Her friendly question was full of smiles.

" I just wanted to ask you "

" Yes, what do you want to ask ?"

" A few weeks ago, I took a mission, but now I can't find it anymore. Is it already pulled?"

" If you may know, what kind of mission did you take that time ?"

" Coyote Extermination ?"

" Please wait a minute "

" No problem, I'm not in a hurry "

The woman returned her previous shirt, and took out a stack of files and turned them back one by one.

Not long after, he returned with a piece of paper.

" May I check your adventurer card, sir ?"

" Ah, yes this. Please "

" I borrow it for a moment "

The woman attached my adventurer card and the mission paper together and stamped her.

And then handed them both over to me.

I thanked him and went out immediately.

And start wandering around the city.

Until it does not feel the time has shown at 6 pm when the clock tower bells ringing.

Funny thing is that I got dropped off by the kids to get to the guild. Thanks for driving me, I gave them one small silver coin.

Playing with them all day is so much fun, they even know the secret and hidden places of shops that sell good food.

I opened the Guild door and headed straight to the counter to report.

My fool is, I didn't take it out first. Unlike before, when we carried him together when reporting.

The woman looked astonished at first because I had brought no evidence of subjugation at all.

" Ah I understand. Rion san, please come with me to the warehouse "

Right, just like that. If he asks, just say it's in the dimension pocket. Since many use it, I just use such an excuse.

I followed him into the barn.

Arriving there, I was asked to put it on the demolition table that was still empty.

I took out 10 tails according to the quota of demand. The woman was pleased with my hunting results and began to judge them. I calmly waited on the bench that was there.

After almost 15 minutes, the woman came to me.

" Rion san, this item is very nice and looks fresh "

" Yes, I'm lucky there's this magic bag, so its freshness is assured"

" Is that right?" His smile is friendly

" Yes, I don't know how many times I've been saved by this thing, if there's no of this stuff maybe I'll have trouble transporting all their bodies"

" So that's it... Hey!!"

I was stared at with a cold look, her charming smile was now invisible.

Her innocent and meek posture has now changed 180°.

His calming aura now turned menacing.

The girl who was once beautiful was now turned into a demon. Not in the truest sense, just a figure of speech.

I was scared but I could still react to dodge when he was about to pounce on me.

" Ano, Miss. Is something wrong ?"

" Eh, nothing" she answered back to being a meek woman.

Uh, I'm confused. What really happened.

For a moment I saw her as a good woman, then she turned into a frightening and intimidating figure. And a moment later, again he became a good figure again.

Is my brain damaged, because of fatigue?

" Is something wrong Rion san?"

" Ah hahaha no, not nothing "

" What are you afraid of?"

He said in a threatening voice but his face did not show him giving an attack at all.

Impossible, I was always vigilant so as not to get close to carelessly people.

" So, Rion san. How about if you tell me the truth right now "

Again the woman spoke in a threatening voice despite the look of her face looks very friendly.

" Miss, I seem to be very exhausted. Can I get through this conquest mission soon?"

" I'm sorry, I refused "

The woman opened her burning eyes with a beautiful violet color.

Her soft face disappeared again and left only the crazy face of the fighter who wanted to pounce on me immediately.

I'm still confused by all this. All the workers in this warehouse were not even bothered by this woman's total change and were still casually passing by near us.

Am I the only one who sees her with such a scary figure?

My instincts screamed and asked me to leave from there. But my body refused to leave here because it felt no danger at all.

I'm getting very confused. What exactly is wrong with me?

The woman walked slowly and got closer. And when the woman was about to pounce on me, I just felt danger.

I kicked the floor and moved away from him, quickly also I poked two slashes from both sides with the sword I pulled out in time.

Now I understand, they've been acting like they didn't see us, and waiting for me when they were off guard and just attacked me.

" What does all this mean ?" I'm trying to find answers here. They did attack me seriously, but there was no killing intent I felt from them.

" Well, I'll forgive you if this is a joke. Although a little too much."

As if not heeding my words they kept trying to tear me apart with their weapons. Even though I retreated to the point of urgency they continued to attack blindly.

I couldn't slash them for not feeling the killing air. I still believe it's a test and a greeting. I don't know why I want to believe that.

And it's true.

Applause began to echo in that huge warehouse.

The two people who had previously attacked me also sheathed back their swords and clapped their hands.

" As I expected"

The receptionist woman who often changed personalities was out of the crowd.

Is this a prank of another world ?

Camera ? Where's the camera ?

" Hahaha I got a prank, you fucked me "

" No, it's not a prank or anything, it's kind of a test "

" Test ?"

" Right, test ?"

" Hahaha if you know, what kind of test?"

" No need to give up, Rion san"

" I don't understand at all "

" Why do you want to hide it, you butcher ?"

" Mongrels ?"

" Right, it's you. "

" Eee I don't remember ever being nicknamed a butcher before "

" You don't know yet, but this time I'll make sure you get it "

Actually I have no idea where this conversation is going.

" I'm sorry, you seem to have the wrong person, I'm not the butcher you think I am. I'm just an ordinary adventurer "

" Even though you brought those monsters?"

" Yes, something is wrong "

" Hey, don't you know that this monster has been extinct in the capital since last month?"

Ughhhh... I completely forgot about that.

" Hee you can't even argue with him. "

" I.. That's.. I accidentally found it somewhere else?"

" Well, where is that place ?"

" Hum... Forest "

" Hee woods yes.. "

" It's true forest "

Thank goodness he believed.

" Rion san's. That coyote is not a colony that can live in the woods you know.. "

Damn I forgot about that too...

" A.. I accidentally found them while chasing a quarry that ran into the forest. Right, like that, right. "

" Although their numbers were very fitting with the request of the guild "

Uh, a minute, Amount? Did they set the requested amount ? let's remember first.

No!! They didn't ask for her.

How it is, how it is.

Did I just run away ? if I do fear I will be made a fugitive. But if I give up fearing that I will be in prison for destroying their livelihood.

Eh instead of monsters it was troublesome for humans, and eliminating them was a good act for an adventurer. Why am I afraid.

" Huh... I surrendered. " I raised both my hands a sign of surrender.

" Now you admit it "

" I'm running out of excuses, after all I feel guilty for taking another adventurer's livelihood. "

" It's good if you understand "

I'll be careful the next day. If I can still get out of this place alive.

" When is it  ?" My toot.

" What is it ?"

This lady... Gosh darn. Can I hit it just once?

" That I'm the culprit responsible for the loss of the Coyote population around here "

" Ah, that. Just got "

What ?!!!  Huh ?!!

" lady.. Meaning ?"

" As you can hear, we just found out when you brought me these 10 fresh-looking bodies "

" Shortly, I need to digest your words first, give me a moment"

" Enjoy your time "

This woman said that she knew that I was the mastermind of the loss of the new Coyote Population today. I handed over the body today. Her fresh corpse is still fresh, there are 10.

Ah...

" It looks like you've come to your own conclusions ?"

" It seems so, hehehe "

" Don't hehehe me" he said

" I still can't believe you could trap me to this extent, well I myself was also wrong for not being careful "

" Yes, we have also been very careful since the reports came in, a party coincidentally saw your actions while exterminating them, and also... "

" And also... ?"

" Your inventory magic !!"

Ugh... !!

How do I avoid this one ?

" A... I don't understand a what you're talking about"

" Stop giving up, all these bodies have explained everything."

" I don't understand a what you're talking about "

" Human tends to look the other way when lying, and does not want to see his interlocutor "

" It's just a myth.. "

" It's free to say, these corpses, their freshness can only be proven when stored in space magic "

" Eh ?"

" Hahaha did you just know ?"

" no... Ten of course I know... "

" Really ?"

".... "

" Listen, everyone knows the item box can not maintain freshness, it only serves as storage only, moreover the item box has a limited capacity. If you still want to stand up, show me your item box and I'll unload your lies"

This woman is very dangerous. I don't know how many times he's exposed my lies.

I can only surrender.

Free berkilah.

There will be no end. The longer I stay here the longer I'll be home.

I raised my hands up a second time.

" If you're following like this from now on, it won't be this long "

" If you don't press me, it won't be this long "Reply.

" You said something ?"

" No, it's nothing "

The woman looked at me and inspected me for the umpteenth time.

Did he hear that just now?

Forgetit.

" Now give it all away "

Uh, were you interrogating me now you're robbing me ?

" Look down, I'm not robbing you, I'm gonna buy everything "

I was a little afraid of this woman's ability to read my mind.

But since he said he'd buy everything, what can I do. Instead of being kept and just a burden.

" Well, where should I put it?"

" just put it on the table "

" It doesn't seem to fit "

" In fact, how much do you have  ?"

" About 102 I have "

" What is it  ?!"

" 102 tails I said "

" I'm not asking anymore ! but I was surprised "

" Ah, I'm sorry I thought you were asking, Then where should I put it?"

" Whatever, anywhere you feel is enough "

" Yes"

I chose haphazardly the place, which was of great importance and spewed out all the corpses until they were piled up.

" What's with your expressions. "

" Don't think about "

Everyone started picking up the corpses one by one and putting them in rows.

I waited for them to count and judge. It won't take a while, it will definitely take a long time.

Am I going home, okay?, but can I go home ?

When I was in a dilemma to ask if I could go home or not, someone came with Izumi and Momo.

What are they doing here ?

But that's good, I feel safe if I'm not alone.

At least I have a friend if scolded.

" I'm sorry where's the toilet ?"

" There's no toilet in the barn, sit down !!" The receptionist's orders when Izumi was about to run off alone.

Momo also reasoned but got the same spooky look.

" What really happened ?" Izumi asked when she was told to sit with seiza just like me.

" I'm sorry, I seem to have fallen into the guild's trap. "

" What trap do you mean ?"

" Do you remember the previous mission, when we exterminated a horde of monsters?"

" Yes, I remember. What's up with that ?"

" The Guild planned to catch the culprit, and I accidentally fell into their trap "

" Huh... Then?"

" The Guild plans to buy all of them, so I took them out" I pointed towards the group of adventurers who were in a group.

Izumi and Momo spontaneously raised their hands compactly.

Are they going to run away alone?

Fucking unfaithful man.

" What !!? " The receptionist looked at us in a bad way.

"" We still have more""

Answer them compact. I thought they would run away and leave me alone. I think I misjudged them. They are true friends.

" I bought everything !!"

"" In Accept ""

I took my words !

I completely forgot they were double eyes.

That way, our time of waiting is getting longer.

And I'm the only one who's exhausted by all this.

All adventurers who were able to appraise items worked overtime happily.

The receptionist also assessed the 356 Coyotes that had disappeared.

The next morning, we were picked up by the Palace envoy for not returning all night.

I wanted to thank the messenger, but he left immediately without taking us with him.

I was disappointed and really wanted to go home.

Rin's... Pick me up...

******

" I'm sorry to have held you all night, there's a lot we have to consider regarding all the quality materials you've submitted"

I don't need to talk, just give me back.

Unlike me Izumi and Momo even more excited.

Especially with the gift of gold coins in front of them.

We were taken to a large room with a sofa and tea and biscuits.

Last night we were prisoners, the next morning we were treated like guests.

Dinner I miss, breakfast I haven't, sleep I don't. My mind is also broken because of my own friends.

" Isn't this too much for a receptionist to treat adventurers like this?"

I asked this mysterious woman.

" Receptionist ? who ? me ?"

Ah, I would love to hit that arrogant face of his. But it would ruin my self-esteem that wouldn't hit a woman's face.

Anyway if I hit him somewhere else, I'll be killed by mom for being rude to women.

" I am a Guild Master and this is my Guild. All of my supreme authority is held !!"

" Yeah, Izumi... Momo, can I kill you ?" Show me, I'm no longer reluctant, just finish everything.

" No, before we get all the money, after that it's up. I don't care "

" You guys are blatantly talking about wanting to kill in front of the guy directly ?" The person who claimed to be a Guild Master protested.

" I don't care if you're a Guild Master or not, whether you're a Man or a Woman, I don't care. Hear.. "

" Rion san... Why don't you just wait downstairs ?"

Izumi was right, if I linger here and listen to all the chatter I feel my vertigo will recur.

That way I accepted Izumi's offer.

My eyes began to get tired, my mental drop to drain a lot of stamina.

I think I need some fresh air. This lobby is too crowded even in the morning.

I better get out for some fresh air.

Outside I feel grateful to be able to breathe fresh air. I haven't breathed fresh air like this in a long time.

Outside also were children who helped to escort me to the Guild.

" Hey are you guys free? wanna play with me ?"

I felt playing with them would be a lot of fun, because it was unconsciously I created a hoverboard of shield magic that I combined with wind magic.

They seemed clueless, but because of hearing the word play they just accepted it.

That's why I created another hoverboard for them to ride. I added a few chairs like a rollercoaster and asked them to sit anywhere.

Because then I only need to move one board, which I ride now.

No need to look like the real thing, just being able to move around makes them happy.

I don't care anymore to be a spectacle material when walking around the guild yard while riding a board that can fly.

I'll show it to everyone. I am not an indiscriminate person, and will no longer hold back in showing my strength.

At once I will declare to all criminals to think twice when dealing with me.

It's like a double-edged sword, full of risks. But I've been thinking about it from last night.

Hiding is harder than searching.

And this child's play will be my stepping stone from now on.

Spirit !! For me now and in the future !!
