3-19: Fear of Death (1/2)

Authors Note (Paraphrased):

Dont think too much about the skill attribute beacuse there are other reasons why the protagonist is so strong. Also, the Falandia-version of the status window is a translation, and its main focus is ease of understanding.

The student council president, Amamiya, was at the center of the student council, busied with work.

His job was to talk with the transfer student, as well as to monitor the committee members and carry out the tasks handed by the school administration, making the student council a middle management of sort just as Shinichi had guessed.

That was the truth about the work of this student council president.

Already? This transfer student sure is famous.

This must be the first time that so many people have sent a report for just one student.

Wryly smiling, he looked through the reports handed to him by various students and teachers as he held his head.

The reports coming from Shinichis classmates were fairly emotional and critical, but Teacher Franks report wasnt something that could be overlooked.

Him, huh.

I dont know about his personality, but he definitely doesnt look very strong to me.

Though his personality was bold and eye-catching, he didnt have the aura that high-ranker students had.

He had a slender figure, but there was nothing special to it. It was just average.

Amamiya knew better than to judge people by their looks, but the transfer student just didnt seem strong at all.

Of course, that didnt mean he could just let him off.

After all, both the school administration and the Japanese government have ordered that he be monitored.

The order from the Japanese government even specifically asked for Amamiya.

I know its work No, its precisely because its work, but

Watching him sleep so happily like sure feels bad.

Even though he had so much work piled up, the person he was monitoring was sleeping so soundly.

Of course, he knew this was an invasion of privacy, but he still couldnt help but be bitter.

On the monitor was reflected the image of the problem transfer student.

You didnt have to watch him yourself, you know.

You could have just asked someone else to do it. Here, coffee.

A female student council member indirectly scolded him as she handed him a hot cup of coffee.

She was telling him that he was working too hard.

Hmm, thank you, Tina-kun.

Im happy youre worried about me, but its an order from the upper brass, so

But even if it werent, there werent a lot of people he could ask to monitor the transfer student.

Although there werent much decisions to be made when the transfer student was inside his room, the person observing wasnt allowed to sleep. In the end, Amamiya figured he might as well be the one watch him while doing the rest of his other work.

Im sure you received the report about it this morning too. Its about the armed group that appeared on the boat.

Ah, you mean those people armed with old earth weapons that were for some reason found knocked out and bound tightly.

It sounded so stupid, but both Frire and Amamiya were serious.

For the people unhappy with the changes resulting from the cultural exchange between the two worlds, the City of Kutoria was a popular target. As a result, the city had to distribute resources to strongly limit what people could bring in and out, as well as heavy inspections of tourists and immigrants. Unfortunately, that came with the price of not having enough men to spare for the raybeasts, which is why the students had to make up for that role.

The aforementioned people in the report from this morning were somehow able to find a hole in the system and enter the ship with dangerous weapons. They were just one step away from causing a terrorist incident.

Finding a countermeasure for that was one of Amamiyas tasks tonight.

They kept talking about incomprehensible things even after they regained consciousness and were taken custody by the Safety Agency.

Stuff like a white mask attacked them, or a black monster was coming, or an evil god was going to eat them.

It was hard getting anything out of them, but we finally got something just a while ago.

It turns out theyve sent bombs disguised as cleaning robots running throughout the city!

What!? Bombs disguised as cleaning robots!?

Naturally, such dangerous things couldnt be brought to this city without permission.

There were several layers of checks preventing such things from being brought in.

In fact, travelers couldnt even ride if there was something suspicious in their luggage.

Yet somehow they still found a way in.

Apparently, they bought the parts here while the highly combustible liquid was brought in with their belongings.

Just one persons portion wouldnt have been enough, but when everyones was put together, it was enough to make a bomb.

A good number of them had come to this town as travelers.

Damn it! Cant they use their heads for something else!?

They were getting cleverer by the year and it was getting that much more troublesome to deal with them.

Because of that he spat out curses, but no one reprimanded him.

Everyone shared his sentiments.

How strong are these bombs and how many are there?

I havent heard that much from the safety agency, but from how theyre talking, it seems to be a bunch of powerful time bombs.

Even though theyd already been caught, they still continued to run their mouths.

They must be fairly confident that the bombs would do damage.

Understood.

Ive already given orders to the students. The student council will coope!?

Just when he was about to move out, a powerful tremor accompanied by a roaring sound suddenly erupted.

Are we too late!?
