I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
part 3
“This is Ousei Gakuen.” cafeteria
I'm speechless. Ryo took me to a very large room in a completely different style from the cafeteria I knew. Many round tables and simple chairs are laid out like coffee shop patios. Students enjoy eating and chatting at every table.
. ..My school also has a cafeteria, but it's a public cafeteria that you can find everywhere, and it's also not as clean as this. I was stunned by the sight before me, and then Ryo called out with a laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha! Everyone will be surprised at first! But that's not all, you know? Here, look at this.”
“Eh?”
The next thing Ryo showed me was the menu table. And when I read it, I was dumbfounded once again.
First of all, the variety is amazing. Japanese, Chinese, and Western food is common, besides, there are also Spanish and Russian cuisines… there are international cuisines from all over the world that you can't usually eat unless you go to a special restaurant. In addition, dishes for each religion are also prepared.
"I-it seems that the dishes here are made by chefs working in three-star restaurants."
"Three stars!?"
I opened my eyes hearing Shingo-kun's words. No no. Even if I can afford it now, I can't just eat such high-end dishes all the time! I thought so then Ryo smiled widely as if he could read what I was thinking.
“Should I have surprised you more? The food here is all for just 500 yen!”
“….”
I really had no choice but to be quiet. Is this heaven? Can you eat a three-star dish with just one coin? I don't know what that means anymore.
“Well, even though it is only 500 yen, there are definitely students who live alone and are financially difficult, so there is something called “Scholar” Daily Lunch prepared for such students.
“Ench every day?”
“Yes, you can not choose the contents because they are changed every day, but the price is. Free.”.
“….”
I already knew it from the grade level, but it became very clear here. This school is too different from the others. While listening to the words of Ryo and Shingo-kun, I decided on the menu and when we received our food, we sat down in the nearby chair.
Ryo's food is a creamy paste of crab tomatoes, and Shingo-kun is a cut of pork. Since I heard it cost 500 yen, so I decided to try something that seemed as expensive as possible, I decided to eat a set of Japanese black beef hamburgers. Well, no, actually I just want to eat something a little fancy.
“Alright, let's eat!”
"""Itadakimasu."""
After the greetings before eating, we concentrate on each meal.
I put the hamburger in my mouth and it was frozen by the excessive delicacy. Hey, what is this? Juice splashed in my mouth! It feels so soft! D-delicious! (T/N: He said “nikuju ga doba-tte! kuchi no naka de fuwa - te! o,umai!)
The hamburger was good enough to take away my vocabulary. Ryo and Shingo-kun laughed while eating their own food as they watched me eat innocently.
"Hey, hey ... Have a look!"
"Who is that man…?"
“Displacement student?”
"Cool abis…"
While I was eating, I suddenly realized that my surroundings were noisy.
"What's going on? Looks like noise.”
"Hmm? That's because you're here, you know?”
“Because I'm here? Oh, that's because my uniform is different. Looks like I'm becoming too flashy.”.
“….”
"Hmm? What'sthat?"
“...No, it's okay.”
Why, I wonder? I felt Ryo looking at me as if he said, "Hey, seriously?" but it seems like it was just my imagination. As we continued eating while chatting amiably, Ryo suddenly asked me as if he had just noticed it.
“Omong-by the way, Yuuya, are you taking part in club activities?”
“Eh?”
“The school is very strong in every club, but they are more focused on sports.”
"Oh so…"
“So, if you do club activities at the school where you are now, I wonder if you will also take part here.”
Obviously, I don't do club activities. It would be difficult if I had to pay the club fees as well, and first of all, I was not allowed to have such a teenage life…
I responded to Ryo with a wry smile.
"Sorry, but I'm not doing club activities."
“Dia ~ e? To serious? This is unexpected.”
“Then, how about Ryo and Shingo-kun?”
"I? I'm also at the "home" club"."
“Eh? So anyway. I thought you were a member of a sports club ... "
Although it was just my prejudice, I was surprised because Ryo's performance made me feel like he was a refreshing sportsman.
“R-Ryo-kun is good at various sports, he was invited by various clubs at the beginning of his entry, he was in great demand back then.”
"Thank you!? Then why?"
I asked while thinking that there might be other things he liked, like manga, but he replied without hesitation.
“Hmm... that's because I want to do a lot of things...maybe?”.
"Many things?"
“Yes.. I used to play football in junior high school, and went to a pretty good line .. but after I entered this school, I thought playing football was good, however, I thought playing football was good, I wanted to experience things, so I ended it. at homecoming club.”
“A-as Ryo-kun's assistant, I know that he actually participates in many different clubs, and I also have to follow him, and every time he goes, he goes, he left with a good result.”
"Haha, stop, that's embarrassing."
Ryo was laughing bashfully as he looked so embarrassed. He is like a character in a manga. That's not a bad thing, he's a very good guy, he's a popular guy too.
"So ... Is that allowed?"
"Yes. If you join this school, you can have a variety of experiences without having to do club activities. In that case, the activity of the Shingo club has also changed.”
“Dia ~ e? What club does Shingo-kun have?”
I asked him and he told me with a smile.
"I belong to the Game Club."
“Klub Games!? Game, you mean? Video games?"
"That's right."
To serious? …Can you bring the game to this school openly? I'm thinking you can do as you like wearing accessories and hair color, but I wonder if they're really allowed to do that…
I was surprised by the unusual freedom in this Ousei Gakuen, but Shingo-kun told me the reason.
“T-of course, I can't do it in class, but you can play games and smartphones at recess. It would be strictly prohibited in ordinary high school. No student is playing around with their smartphone or game during class, and that's why even in school, gaming clubs are allowed.”
“ Sighs ..”
I can only sigh in admiration. In other words, the school trusts students and enables smartphones and games. But the best part is that the students are also trying not to betray their trust. Something like that, I was able to have a very satisfying lunch by listening to many other shocking stories.
After lunch, I talked a lot with other people besides Ryo and Shingo-kun and they all stared straight at me. Until now, everyone looked down on me, even though the students at this school treated me as an equal human being. I may look different than usual, but I am very happy because I know that everyone knows me and sees from within me.

After school, I visited the chairman's office and talked to Tsukasa Houjou-san.
“So, how is this school?”
"…It's amazing. The classes are easy to understand and the facilities are complete. But what impresses me the most is that the students seem to have a lot of fun.” I told the chairman what I thought honestly while smiling.
The students at this school are all smart. In my school today, everyone is bored every day. The students who attend the club activities often say “boring” or “just want to go home” during class and rest during the day.
But I haven't heard that word since I came to this school today. No, I'm not saying that it won't happen, but I still haven't heard it. Everyone seems to be having fun and enjoying this school from the bottom of their hearts.
I can feel it strongly through today's experience and everyone recognizes and accepts me who has always been bullied. That's what I'm so happy about. Not only did everyone enjoy themselves, but they also recognized me and saw me rightly as a person…
To be honest, I really want to be here, in this school. But…
When he heard my words, the chairman nodded in satisfaction.
"Is that so? I'm glad you said that. …So, how? Why don't you go to this school?”
“...Is it okay for me to be here?”
Am I really worthy of attending this school? I haven't found anything I'm good at or proud of. There are better children than me who know nothing.
Thinking so, the chief softly said as if he had read what was on my mind.
“Yuuya-kun's chat. Your Value is what you decide, and you can also decide for others.”
“Eh?”
“And now you know that getting into this school is worth it, right? …That's what you think, right?
I took a little time to think about it, and replied, "Yes."
"But I think you deserve to attend this school."
"Well…"
Hearing his words, I looked straight at the chairman.
"It's okay. If you haven't found your grades and want to find them. Find them at this school. You have time anyway.”
I could only be speechless, the chairman's words immediately gaped across my chest.
And then
“Err... I am indeed like this, but if you don't mind, let me attend this school”
"of course! We welcome you."
I officially attended this Ousei Gakuen.
