Chapter 42: Renewed Determination

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Phew~ Classes are over! We’re done for school today!”

“Hey, let’s stop by somewhere on the way back!”

“Come on, let’s go to that new café in the plaza~”

The day’s classes at the Magic Academy ended. The moment they did, the carefree chatter of relaxed classmates echoed through the room. Little did they know, in just a few days, this imperial capital could become a battlefield!

“Habiri-sama, let’s go with them!”

“Hey, Habiri-kun, come on! It’s important for class bonding—”

This wouldn’t do. There was no time for this.

“Bocchama, let’s go home. There’s no need to entertain these little girls’ invitations to an orgy. From orthodox to very hard demands, my body alone can handle it all.”

A war was coming soon…

“Excuse me! Uh, Habiri-senpai, um~ Would you like to head back with me today? There’s, uh, that new café in the plaza, and I really wanna go with you, Senpai~”

But the key hero was acting like this! There was no way we could win. Even if it was just a stopgap, they needed some resolve…

“You guys!! Is this really okay!?”

“““““!!??””””

I stood up in the classroom and raised my voice. At the end of the homeroom, with the teacher’s podium empty, I faced everyone, including Nemeth.

“Right now, this country’s main forces, starting with the prince, are on a great expedition to reclaim human territory! While they’re gone, we’re the ones left to become the next generation of warriors to support this country and humanity! Do you think it’s okay to be this carefree!? What if, just what if, the Demon Lord’s army attacks this thinly defended capital? What if the remaining knights can’t handle it? Our families, our children, our people… It’s up to us to protect them! Shouldn’t we have more urgency and train ourselves after school?! Shouldn’t we have that kind of mindset!?”

Those were words of encouragement I’d never have said in the last loop. But right now, I had to say this to make everyone else realize how dire this was. Toilette, Chio, and Vabumii had turned out differently from the last loop. Nemeth was doing her part seriously but was weaker than before.

The only decent ones were Sword and Magina, but outside of fighting, those two were kind of unhinged… As for me, even though I was better than last time, I’d been hiding or avoiding fights, so I had no war experience, let alone against the Six Star Demon Generals, and didn’t even know how much I could handle. That was why I needed these guys to step up as fighters, or the country would really fall.

“Habiri-sama’s hot-bloodedness strikes again…”

“Ugh, but we’re exhausted from a full day of classes…”

“Come on, anything more is a bit much…”

“Even if we’re not like Habiri-kun, a class representative from a noble family with talent, we’re already trying our best…”

“We just want a little break…”

But it wasn’t like they’d change instantly. To be fair, these guys were already working harder than most people their age. Some, inspired by my duel with Nemeth, were taking classes seriously. The Magic Academy’s lectures were tough, so it was understandable they’d be drained after a day, making extra self-training a hard task…

(Bocchama’s usual seriousness is so cute, it got me wet again today. Well, if that pig army attacks the capital and ravages women, crushing their leader would solve it. Idi’s strong in close combat, but I could take him down… Then, Bocchama’s reward… Uehehehe♥ Ten rounds without pulling out as foreplay, what else will he do to me, I wonder?♥ And like last time, I will suck and pound on the age-regressed Bocchama’s dick… Guhihihi♥)

But in the last loop’s orc attack, we barely repelled them, and Toilette died, with the capital’s people suffering at the orcs’ hands. I didn’t know the details, but some in this room might’ve been violated by orcs. That kind of awful stuff, including my own actions, had to be stopped in this world. That was why…

“I… I don’t want any of you to die! I don’t want you to suffer!”

““““Huh…””””

“And I don’t want anyone to lose anything! Your families, your siblings, yourselves! Right now, this country isn’t something someone else will save.. It’s up to us to take action!”

“Senpai…♥ Ha, you’re so cool, Senpai♥”

“So, you’re already doing enough, but how about pushing one step further!?”

All I could do was shout. I didn’t know any other way to motivate them.

“Anyway, I’m not going to some café or whatever. Take your breaks, but think about what I just said!”

I said what I needed to say.

“Wait, Bocchama!”

“Senpai~ Wait, you’re heading home?”

Sword and Nemeth hurriedly chased after me as I left the classroom. Home? Not yet…

“The church. I’m gonna bring a gift and apologize to Vabumii.”

““Huh!?””

“Then I’ll check on Chio.”

““Whaaat!?””

Even if it was impossible, I had to try to get them back on their feet. At that moment…

“Well, but~ Habiri-kun’s from a rich, talented family with girls fawning over him, so it’s not convincing when he says it~ If we’re gonna do more, we want some rewards for our efforts, right~?”

““““?””””

A girl in the classroom spoke up. She was a foreign exchange student with tanned skin, flashy makeup, and gray, fluffy long hair adorned with elaborate accessories. Her name was…

“What’s that, Yaruimannu?”

Yurui Yaruimannu, was it?

“We’ve got our own ambitions, y’know~? We’re working hard in our own way~ But getting scolded by noble or genius standards isn’t fair~ If you’re telling us to do more, we need some rewards~”

R-Rewards? Why should I, not their parents, give them rewards?

“Hey, you loose-legged girl with an equally loose-attitude. You’re being rude to Bocchama. This is about your future, isn’t it? Why should Bocchama reward your efforts? If anything, I want a reward.”

Sword cut in, glaring at Yaruimannu, but she just smirked.

“Yeah, what kind of reward? Are you saying I should give you something?”

What did she want? Then, Yaruimannu grinned slyly…

“What students like us want~ Like, for girls, maybe a matchmaking party with heirs of super prestigious noble families, or that ultra-rare magic beauty potion developed by the legendary mage Takasuiessa~ And for guys… How about an unlimited sex tour at a resort with the sexy women from the brothel, filled with nonstop orgies and those wild ‘shakey-shakey’ carriage rides?~”

“…Huh? That kind of—”

“““““!!??””””

Is that what they wanted..? 

The classroom’s atmosphere shifted instantly.
