The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 41

The homeroom teacher, Niiyama, who was worried about Gouda taking his first telekinesis class, immediately caught Nouriki as soon as the telekinesis class was over.

“Eh, healing and relaxation?”

“Yeah, that kid was slightly using telekinesis, so I did a little investigation.”

“Was it barely activated?”

“Yeah. When I was checking his abilities, I happened to touch his shoulder, and that’s when I noticed.”

“Did you just happen to touch his shoulder?”

The homeroom teacher, Niiyama, looked at her with a suspicious eye. She was a peer with Nouriki and she knew that was her lie.

Nouriki immediately seeks contact and wants to have a relationship with any man. She has bad habits, she also has bad drinking habits; it’s something she has been thoroughly messed around with, so she knows.

“Don’t make such a scary face just because it was a coincidence. You’ll get more fine lines.”

“You are the one making it happen!”

“Well, well, more importantly, it’s about Gouda-kun. I think Gouda-kun is probably using healing or relaxation unconsciously.”

“Haa, I don’t agree, but whatever. But Gouda-kun had four special abilities, right? So, how can you be so sure it’s healing or relaxation? And even if that’s the case, his psychic power would run out halfway and he’d collapse.”

“Hehehe. Well, that’s…”

She speaks quite confidently, although she insists it’s just her speculation.

Regarding healing, he talks about how the range in which he moved objects using psychokinesis is equivalent to level 7, which is impossible even at talent level 1, and mentions that he treated it as if it had no cooldown.

Cooldown refers to the rest period needed to restore the mind organ after using psychic power, as it becomes exhausted. However, in Gouda-kun’s case, the mind organ does not become exhausted because he is healing it. Therefore, he can use it without a cooldown.

Regarding relaxation, Gouda-kun is quite calm compared to other men.

Moreover, attending a school with only girls would likely be quite mentally challenging for a 16-year-old boy.

Even so, the number of school days has increased from one day a week to three days a week. This has become possible because he is constantly using relaxation techniques, even unconsciously, to maintain mental stability.

“…I wonder if this is the place.”

She is annoyed by Nouriki speaking with a smug look, but she still hasn’t heard the crucial part.

“What will happen to the consumption of psychic power?”

“That’s an easy thing to do. From the way he touched it, Gouda-kun is using only a tiny bit of psychic power, so little that he doesn’t even realize it himself.”

“Such a thing… No, it’s not decided yet, but for now, let’s at least report it to the principal.”

“Yeah.”

*****

I finished class and came home, but I’m not alone today.

“Ex-excuse me for intruding.”

“Excuse me for intruding.”

“Excuse me.”

“Excuse me!”

Everyone brought their instruments and came to my house. It seems they borrowed the instruments from the school.

They lamented that they submitted the application too late and only the old models were left.

But Psychic Body is so amazing.

Even the petite Kirishima-san easily carries the keyboard, and Makino-san, who is slightly taller than Kirishima-san, effortlessly transports the portable electronic drum.

Since Kimishima-san and Fukata-san are just casually carrying their guitar and bass on their shoulders… it somehow suits them. Maybe it’s because both of them are tall and beautiful.

For the time being, I’m the one carrying everyone’s bags. They hesitated, but carrying both the instrument and the bag was quite difficult, so I decided to take them a bit forcefully.

Well, where should we practice? I’ve been thinking about it the whole way home, but considering things like sound leakage…

“Maybe a basement shelter after all.”

Even though it’s called an underground shelter, it is the size of a living room, so it’s perfectly fine for five people to use it.

“Right, if we’re inside the shelter, we don’t have to worry about sound leaking out.”

“That’s right.”

Makino-san looked around the room, placing the drums in the corner, while Kirishima-san also placed the keyboard a little away from the drums.

“Whoa, so this is what an underground shelter is like.”

Kimishima-san seems a bit restless and is looking around. Fukata-san is already sitting on the sofa and tuning her bass. Oh, it looks like her underwear might be showing a bit, so maybe I should avoid standing in front of her.

Hmm, what should I do? It was decided suddenly, so I didn’t have any snacks or juice.

“I’m sorry for not having anything.”

I apologized while only served tea. The four said they were fine, but next time I’ll make sure to prepare tea sweets and juice properly.

“Well then, shall we try it out once?”

Each of us adjusted the sound. While I was listening to the music and double-checking the lyrics and pitch, Kirishima-san said that.

♪〜

When everyone nods and makes a sound, I feel a surge of excitement in my heart.

——A live performance… Whoa, amazing!

I sing while holding the portable mini microphone that Kirishima-san prepared for me. The mini microphone is cute.

Just as I’m getting into the groove and about to really get started, the performance stops.

“Huh…?”

——Ah…

The four of them are not sitting flat on the ground, but they are crouching. Their faces are slightly red. I immediately remember Kaori-san’s words and understand the situation. I understand, but,

“Is everyone okay?”

“Y-yeah, I’m okay.”

“If I rest a little, I’ll be fine.”

“Yeah.”

“Gouda-kun, I’m sorry.”

When I’m told that everything is fine, there’s nothing I can do. Should I be the one to talk more firmly?

However, seeing them looking a bit embarrassed makes it hard to say it lightly.

“You don’t have to worry about me. Instead, how about we take a little break? I’ll go get some cold tea.”

Right now, I think I’ll bring them some well-chilled tea.

——Ah, that’s right.

While preparing tea, I suddenly thought of something. If I use relaxation techniques, I might calm down more quickly. I haven’t tried it before, but I’m sure it will help.

I hurriedly prepared some chilled tea. As I slowly carried it to the underground shelter,

Ding♪

I heard the sound of a MAIN message arriving on my smartphone.

——Kaori-san?
