“Romansa Viewing from Above Roof”

I was now on the roof, looking over the entire academy.

I could see everyone in the school being led to the auditorium. The auditorium is so large that it can easily accommodate everyone. School acceptance ceremonies are always held there, and sometimes there are plays or speeches or others that are also held there.

I can see many knights swarming outside the academy, who came here because of the noise. But they maintained a certain distance, probably because it was the limit at which magic was sealed.

There is hardly any attendance in other parts of the school. There were only black-footed men exploring each student's room who might still be hiding.

While looking at the state of the academy, laughter came out from my lips.

I always wanted to do this.

The school was attacked, the students were under arrest, the organization***** was mysterious, and I, seeing everything from the rooftop.

I have to tick one item in the list of ‘Hal I want to do’.

“I look down from the top of the roof.”

Be there, do that.

What should I do to fill my time until nightfall?

Actually, I have been thinking of something ever since those men in black rushed into my classroom.

That *******this has no aesthetic sense.

It's afternoon now. The sun was shining brightly, the sky was clear with no clouds in sight, and there was a refreshing gust of wind. Then there are these people, wearing long black robes.

It feels ridiculous.

They made a very important mistake.

That ... they have underestimated TPO.

Everyone is free to choose their own fashion, but ignoring the TPO will turn it into the wrong mode.

As such, right now, they only look stupid. Black long suit only for night time, duh.

But, I want to enjoy this for a while longer, so it doesn't matter if they use their time. How useless it would be if this ended quickly.

I've decided to Operation Stalling-Time-To-Night.

While observing the academy with such thoughts in my head, I spied on the two black-clothed men walking in the hallway.

Yup, the long black coat in broad daylight really looks stupid.

Hey, let's play as a sniper.

I cut a thumb-sized slime from my Slime Suit.

I rolled it into a ball and cast it magic, lay down on the roof, then took a pose with my fingers.

“Stupid basis, you guys have been within my reach.”

That's my mumble, I flick.

Psshuns.

Leaving the sound of something slicing through the air, a slime ball pierced the man's forehead.

“Ah..“

Then the slime ball also pierced the heart of the person next to it.

To think that I would get the One Shot Two Kills achievement here.

Come on, I want to shoot one more time.

“Oh well, let's find another target then.”

I prepared another slime ball, then closed one eye and curled my fingers before my other eyes, as if I were looking through binoculars.

I saw someone helpless walking around the school building I saw.

“Target confirmed, pink haired girl .. eh?“

Isn't that Sherry?

What he's doing. He walked around looking around uneasily, but he had actually been found.

“Sherry-chan, they've noticed you.”

I saw a man dressed in black quickly approaching Sherry from behind him.

I aim ... then flick.

Psshuns.

The man's head exploded.

“Mission resolved.”

Sherry kept walking, unaware of what had happened, until she turned and left my sight.

Fumu, he's involved with all this.

My mob sensors told me, with utmost certainty, that the main scenario is underway right now.

When the main scenario finally climaxes, then I will appear gallantly as a force from behind the shadows.

Okay.

I gathered magic at my feet, and made sure no one saw, then jumped.

“Tou!“

I landed on the roof of another building.

Then I entered the building through an open window upstairs.

I continued down the hall and .. saw.

The pink-haired girl looked around her uneasily like a suspicious person.

“As I said, they realize you.”

There was a man dressed in black behind Sherry.

“Eh?“

Feeling a movement behind him, Sherry turned around.

He thought he heard the sound of something passing through the air, but there was no one there.

A quiet and empty hallway stretched out before him.

“What's just my imagination..?”.

Carefully examining his surroundings, Sherry continued walking with her flapping shoes, while gripping the artifact tightly to her chest.

The knight said back then magic could not be used.

If his words are real, then Sherry thinks she knows what is going on. It has to do with him.

And then, this artifact also …

Sherry hugged the artifact closer.

“I have to do something about this ...!”

The figure of the two knights who were struggling to let himself escape reappeared in his mind.

He could not let their deaths go to waste.

With such thoughts flashing through his head, he turned a corner.

“Ah!”

There was a man dressed in black there! Sherry quickly hid behind the corner.

What to do, it seemed their eyes had met!

There was that voice again, something that flashed through the air.

“It's okay, I'm invisible, I'm invisible ..”

While praying, he slowly peeked …

“Oh whew, he really didn't see me ..”

The man in black clothes disappeared.

Deciding to focus more, Sherry continued her steps while carefully observing her surroundings.

“Ah!”

There was a black-clothed man in the classroom who was looking into the hallway!

Sherry quickly hid herself, but it was too late.

The classroom door opened, and the black-clothed man walked out.

“Hiii.”

Sherry clutched her head, and closed her eyes.

…

……

Once again there was the sound of something passing through the air.

“Eh?”

Sherry opened her eyes slowly, and realized that the black-clothed man had disappeared.

“Oh wheeewww, I was not caught ..”

Sherry focused more, then patted her cheek.

He checked all corners, the inside of all the classrooms, and even behind him.

Search here, look there, look everywhere.

Having to make sure everything is in its environment naturally means the process becomes very slow.

“Ah!”

He slipped.

Falling on the flat floor, he saw his artifact being thrown into the air.

The artifact fell to the floor. Just before that, the artifact was captured by someone.

Looking up, he saw his new friend standing there.

“Sid-kun ..!”

However, he was covered in blood.

“Eh, are you okay ?! You are injured. ”.

“I'm fine. With a little luck, I got through it. So don't worry about that. ”

For some reason, he looked very tired, and looked at Sherry with half-opened eyes.

“There's a lot I want to say. First, please stop walking while daydreaming. Second, please stop talking to yourself out loud. Third, please pay attention to your steps.”

Then he took a deep breath.

“But before anything else, please take off those really noisy loafer shoes, okay?”

Sherry nodded.
