Part 3
Around the time Yuuya and the others were talking about exorcism.
At Ousei Academy, the student council president, Kitaraku, was beginning to push forward with the school idol project.
So, school idol, lets do it!
What are you talking about?
The gym teacher, Ohki, was tired of dealing with Kitarakus frequent and sudden arrivals.
What, you ask? Its school idols, you know!
No, I dont understand what youre talking about in the first place
In response to Ohki, who was simply bewildered, Kitaraku continued with his usual tone.
Oh, right. Actually, Im thinking of making this school even more exciting
Making this school even more exciting?
The teachers, including Ohki, are aware that Ousei Academy has already become the talk of the town.
The reason is that every year, the school held large-scale athletic and school festivals, and this year, with the arrival of Yuuya, who was a remarkable newcomer, each school event had become more exciting than ever before.
But Kitaraku is not satisfied with that and wants to make the school even more exciting.
Surely, even now, the school has already become a hot topic of conversation.
R-right? In that case, Its not
Thats naive!
!?
Youre being too naive, Ohki-sensei!
Kitaraku interrupted Ohkis words and declared so.
Didnt you realize something at the school festival the other day?
W-what do you mean?
What did you think of it? Certainly, thanks to me, the school is now showing a great deal of excitement.
You say that it is thanks to you?
The other day, at the school festival we ended up competing with Nittei Academy, and I was made keenly aware of this. I was struck by how much effort they put into advertising their products and services, while ours did not.
Y-you say so, but in the end, we won.
That perception is naive. We managed to win that competition because of Yuuya Tenjou, who has recently been the talk of the town in our school Without him, it wouldnt have even been a contest.
Thats
Ohki could not deny Kitarakus words.
In fact, Yuuyas existence made it possible to win the competition against Nittei Academy.
However, no one here pointed out that if not for Yuuya, the school festival competition with Nittei Academy wouldnt have happened in the first place.
Of course, winning or losing the school festival competition is one thing, but what I am more concerned about is what lies in our future.
What?
Unfortunately, I will be graduating from this academy and going on to higher education next year. This means that I will no longer be able to make this school as exciting as it is now.
The current third-year student, Kitaraku, will be entering the University Affiliate of the same Ousei Academy next year.
Although he will still be in the same academy, he will no longer be able to meddle in the policies of the high school.
When the next student council president is chosen, Ohki knows that there is no way his successor would be able to act in the same way as him.
It will be fine while I am here. I can take every possible means to publicize the charms of Ousei Academy to the outside world. However, once I am gone, there will be no one left to take on that role. Then, this school, even though it is currently attracting a lot of attention, will gradually lose its appeal.
In the school festival competition, they won against Nittei Academy, but Nittei Academy was clearly superior in terms of the quality of its facilities, and the teachers there were also excellent.
Moreover, perhaps because of the defeat in the school festival, Nittei Academy, which until now had only admitted students from well-financed families, began to actively accept talented commoners, just as Ousei Academy had done.NewW novels updates at
Studying abroad?
When I lightly explained the situation, Kagurazaka-san let out a sigh of exasperation.
There are really too many things happening Lexia-san and the others are studying abroad, but then suddenly there are demons those are different from evil beasts, arent they?
I suppose so
I really wish you would give me a break.
No, really.
Of course, I welcome Lexia-san and Luna to this world, but I dont want them to get into trouble with demons and other needless trouble, you know?
As I nodded my head in agreement with Kagurazaka-sans words, for some reason, she gave me a cold look.
You are nodding about something, but its mostly your fault, isnt it?
Eh?
Hah well, thats okay. You want an exorcism, right? To be honest, I dont really know what this spiritual power or demon is, but Ill do what I can to help.
We were led to the shrine and made to sit there.
Other places have a lot of chanting and other rituals, but ours is just this.
While saying that, Kagurazaka-san pulled out a mysterious talisman.
Well, you probably dont understand even if I explain the details, so Ill just do it quickly. First, close your eyes.
We sat down and were instructed to close our eyes, and we did so obediently.
I know that Kagurazaka-san was fighting the evil beasts with those talismans, but how would she perform the exorcism?
But since we were told to close our eyes, there was no way to check.
As I waited, somewhat somberly, a sacred presence was suddenly released from Kagurazaka-sans side.
As I recall, Kagurazaka-san was summoned to the Regal Kingdom as a saint and should be able to use the same Holy power as me.
However, I think the feeling Im getting now is something different from the Holy power.
I cant say which is better or worse compared to Holy power but this feeling seems to penetrate deep into my body, and its very comfortable.
It felt as if it was purifying all the bad energy that had built up inside my body.
After a while of surrendering to this comforting feeling, Kagurazaka-san called out to us.
Phew thats enough.
Oh
As expected of Mai! How can I say this? I feel refreshed!
Whats that abstract impression but Lexia is right. I felt like I was being healed from the inside out.
Im glad you felt that way.
Kagurazaka-san smiled after hearing Lexia-sans and Lunas impressions and shifted her gaze toward me.
I think youre all good now for now. As I said at your last test of courage, these things need to be done in moderation or youll be in trouble someday, you hear me?
R-right, Yukine-chan! Be careful, okay?
Ill think about it a little bit when you say that much.
Not just a little, but think about it properly!
While I was smiling at Yukine, who didnt seem to have learned her lesson at all, Rin suddenly mentioned something that was bothering her.
I was wondering what this shrine is known for?
Oh, certainly. The exorcism earlier was amazing, but is it also known for warding off bad luck?
I wonder what god they worship.
As each of us talked about the shrines deity, Kagurazaka-san answered.
We are a matchmaking shrine.
