"Ah, don't underestimate me. I dare say I'm more tired than any of you. You only need to expend either mental or physical energy… I'm not only training in everything, but… even! At night, I still have to worry about Kalego's assassination attempts. At first, it was Kalego-sensei controlling a puppet to assassinate me, but gradually he started coming himself. Was it not just two times I played a trick on him? Seriously," Shesi-kun complained.
Although Shesi-kun spoke lightly, everyone strongly believed the weight of his words when he said he was more tired than all of them… because after their special training, everyone could more or less sense the presence of an aura. Now, the aura around Shesi-kun… even without him intentionally releasing it towards them, it was already terrifying.
Iruma looked at his older brother… and finally, still puzzled, pulled Shesi-kun aside.
"Brother, your head?" Iruma looked at Shesi-kun's head, where horns had already appeared. Although they weren't tall, others might not have noticed, but as Shesi-kun's younger brother, Iruma spotted them immediately.
"Oh, this… using my demon form too much… my body also changes accordingly… I found that if I use my demon form for a long time, the demonization becomes a bit more severe. But you don't need to worry, this isn't a bad thing, after all, we are currently in…" Shesi-kun patted Iruma's head. Suddenly, both of them were pulled away.
Lead whispered something into Shesi-kun's and Iruma's ears.
"Huh? We have to do it like this? Isn't the slogan not scary enough? Should we change it?" Shesi-kun asked.
"Huh?"
Shesi-kun whispered something to everyone… and they all formed a circle.
"Then! Let's kill everyone who stands in our way! Whoever is last will be everyone's maid!"
The surrounding demons couldn't help but distance themselves from the Misfit Class upon hearing this.
The Harvest Festival! Begins!
Route Allocation:
Route 1: Asmodeus, Sabnock, the Big Sister, and Clara
Route 2: Shesi-kun, (Soi hidden in the shadows)
Route 3: Piquero, Goemon, Camui, Kerori
Route 4: Schneider, Jazz, Lead, and Iruma
Inside Route 2, Shesi-kun stretched lazily, then looked at the group of demons behind him.
"Hey, hey, it's been said that demons aren't allowed to fight each other, so I'm going to sleep for a bit. Don't disturb me, okay?" Shesi-kun said, revealing a terrifying expression while also releasing some pressure to keep everyone from approaching.
Seeing the terrified expressions of the demons, Shesi-kun was satisfied and ran to an open space nearby, pulled out a sapling, and then cast the magic [Kuwankuwankuwan] on it. The sapling instantly grew, and miraculously, a wooden house appeared on it. Shesi-kun immediately jumped up. Inside the wooden house, besides basic wooden furniture, there were also two beds.
"Soi, let's get some sleep first. You must have been busy until evening too, right?" Shesi-kun said to the air beside him. Although Shesi-kun couldn't see Soi, after training together for so long, Shesi-kun could always sense where Soi was.
This was not a sixth sense or anything else, but… Soi liked to stand behind others, to the right. Even when choosing a spot in the training classroom, he preferred the back-right position.
Soi suddenly appeared in the position Shesi-kun was looking at. At this moment, Soi's attire was no longer his school uniform but a specialized ninja outfit (Shesi-kun: "I designed it! It looks great!"). There was a fiery scent, as Shesi-kun had designed it based on the outfits in Naruto. One could say that even if Soi were thrown into Konoha Village, the aunties there would only ask, "Is this handsome young man in a relationship?" They wouldn't even think he was a demon—of course, this is assuming Soi didn't show his horns, wings, or tail.
"Next time, please don't look in that direction. I only appeared where you were looking so you wouldn't be embarrassed. Also, is it really okay for us to be this relaxed? Although Shesi-kun, your rank is high enough, my rank is still only [2]. If even one person in the Misfit Class doesn't meet the standard, they won't let us continue in the Royal Classroom, right? And also, I've wanted to complain from the beginning: a treehouse is one thing, but why are there beds inside? That's not how magic is supposed to be used, is it?"
Just as Soi was about to continue, Shesi-kun interrupted him.
"Alright, let's rest first. There's still plenty of time, and it's important to conserve energy. Otherwise, rushing into that battle for resources would be a huge disadvantage. Moreover, I seem to roughly know where a hot spring is located. We can go soak in it then." Shesi-kun finished speaking, turned directly, and lay down. Seeing this, Soi could only shut up, but after a short while, Shesi-kun turned over.
"Soi, what do you think of everyone in the Misfit Class?"
Soi turned to look at Shesi-kun lying beside him, then looked at the ceiling.
"They're great. Although I haven't participated in everyone's daily discussions, I actually participate in every activity. For example, during the Royal Classroom, I was there when Iruma-kun made his declaration. I was quite shocked then too."
Soi spoke at a controlled pace.
"Really? You were there then too," Shesi-kun chuckled.
"Yes, I also contributed to getting signatures for the permit. When studying, looking at Jazz's organized notes and everyone else's compiled materials, I also made sure to bring out my own notes."
"Oh! So that nameless notebook was yours!" Shesi-kun remembered. There was always a nameless notebook on the table back then, and it turned out to be Soi's.
"But, Shesi-kun, did you intentionally leave that sheet music there?" Soi asked, looking at Shesi-kun.
"Hmm, don't you think the tunes are all pretty good?"
"Yes, they're wonderful tunes. It seems Shesi-kun has a good understanding of music."
"What's wrong? I'm honored to receive praise from a 'Fairy.' Let's play a song together sometime."
Shesi-kun finally yawned.
"I have to say… for every single one of these Harvest Festival… we should write 'Hunting Level' on them… zzz…" As he spoke, Shesi-kun fell asleep again.
Soi looked over at Shesi-kun, saw him asleep, and then lay down himself.
"Indeed… it's very exhausting… zzz…"
Both fell asleep almost instantly.
Shesi-kun's side was quite cozy, but the other team was different. Asmodeus and Sabnock were hunting all day.
"I didn't expect to be teamed up with you in the end," Asmodeus said, looking at Sabnock beside him.
"There's no helping it. Before we knew it, it became a team competition. It seems everyone just implicitly agreed," Sabnock said.
"Damn it… I thought I could be teamed up with Iruma-sama!" Asmodeus cried, biting his handkerchief.jpg
Asmodeus raised his hand, and a wall of flames enclosed them both. They sat down.
"The previous winner was President Ameri, and her score was 59,000 points, earning her the victory. If we want to win, we'll need double that score since there are two of us. But in that case, we'll have to go after large targets."
