I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga

It felt like yesterday that I took the midterm exam in May, but June was already over halfway through.

It is the season that corresponds to the beginning of summer.

The atmosphere in the class was quite high as the school was scheduled to leave for Chiba for 3 days and 2 nights from next Monday.

Summer Forest School.

Although nominally known to be carried out for the purpose of improving students’ health and academic achievement, in reality, it was nothing more than a picnic every summer.

Camping at a campsite in the mountains, eating curry or barbecue, enjoying a test of courage and enjoying a campfire, it was also a regular event not to be missed in a school love comedy.

Basically, when we do this kind of event, we make several groups in the class and move them.

Here, if close people gather together, the marginalized may come out, so the group was usually decided by lot.

The total number of class members is 26.

If each group is divided into 6-7 people, they are neatly divided into 4 groups.

And this group lottery ceremony was held in the 5th and 6th classes on Wednesday, the self-study time, under the supervision of the homeroom teacher, Matsuda.

As a result,

I was in Group D with the main character, Ryuji Sakamoto.

***

“Please take good care of me. Kim-kun.”

“…okay.”

“You’re in the same group only with close people, so you’re lucky?”

The total number of people in Group D, which were evenly selected through a lottery, was 7, consisting of me, the main character, Rika, Satoru, the class leader, Sasha, and Yaguchi.

To be honest, the results of this group draw were believable even if it was a masterpiece.

Even so, it was because he thought that a group of only the heroines of the original could not be created so blatantly.

Limgan School is a regular event in a love comedy, so maybe it was because of some kind of coercion caused by the development of the original story?

Anyway, it’s already happened, so I can’t say I’ll do it again, and except for the fact that I was in the same group with the protagonist Ryuji Sakamoto and the heroine Yaguchi Maiya, everyone was close to me, so the formation itself wasn’t bad.

After the group draw, we had a temporary group meeting.

“Hello! We’re in the same class, haven’t we talked much?”

“Oh, yes. Please take care of me. Kishimoto-san.”

Rika, a natural born insider, led the atmosphere of the meeting and spoke to the team members who were in the same group.

Currently, Group D was divided into two groups.

A group centered on me and Rika Sasha and a group centered on Yaguchi and Sakamoto.

Satoru was in a position like a crossroads where he was familiar with both groups, and the class leader was the class leader.

Naturally, the class leader in charge pushed up the round glasses and asked while holding a notebook.

“First of all, you have to go to the campsite and decide what to make and eat. Jeongseok is curry, but is there anyone who wants to try something else?”

Then, surprisingly, Sasha was the first to raise her hand.

“Can I make beef stroganoff instead of curry?”

“…I don’t mind as long as the cooking process isn’t too complicated. The campground’s cooking facilities are poor.”

“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry. As long as you have the ingredients, the rest is very simple.”

Right after she finished speaking, Rika was the next to raise her hand.

“Omurice! It’s easy to make and the ingredients are simple!”

“Yeah, that wouldn’t be too bad. Any other opinions?”

I sat between the two of them, looked at them, and raised my hand.

“How about a Chinese rice bowl? I’ll bring the wok.”

“Chinese rice bowl? …Isn’t that too difficult?”

Unlike the previous two, the class leader expressed a negative opinion about the term Chinese rice bowl.

ね, is it too unreasonable?

He brought out a dish that was too serious to be eaten in a hammock at the forest school, so even if he made such an expression, there was nothing he could do.

It was a moment when I was about to give up quickly and just want to eat curry or something.

“I think it’s good. Chinese rice bowl.”

Sakamoto Ryuji, who was quietly listening to the conversation, suddenly opened his mouth.

Perhaps he felt ashamed later when everyone’s eyes were focused on him, Sakamoto Ryuji scratched the back of his head and expressed his thoughts.

“No, that…what, I eat curry every time I go to the forest school, wouldn’t it be okay to eat something different once in a while? If it tastes good, I can eat it with another group’s curry.”

The class leader listened to him and thought for a moment, then nodded his head.

“That’s also true. What do other people think?”

“Oh, I’m Chansung. Ryu-chan’s dishes are so delicious.”

“I have no complaints either.”

“Can’t we have chili shrimp while we’re doing it?”

“Isn’t it… just like Ryuji said, once in a while?”

After collecting everyone’s opinions, the class leader put down the notebook and organized it.

“Then it’s decided on this. At this forest school, are we going to eat beef stroganoff, omurice, and Chinese rice bowls?”

Upon hearing this, Satoru giggled and laughed.

“There is no trace of curry.”

“Well, sometimes you can eat other things.”

After shrugging my shoulders, I bowed my head slightly in gratitude to Sakamoto, who was sitting across from me.

Two days after the day when I was so noisy with the problem of the forest school.

I was able to hear the long-awaited answer from Huma-senpai, whom I met at the gym after school.

“Come to this address tomorrow around 2pm, and I’ll answer any questions you may have.”

Having said that, the old man handed me a small note.

When I opened it and checked the contents, there was an address written on it.

“Where are you?”

“It’s a cafe where I work part-time every weekend. I work at a convenience store on weekdays and at a cafe on weekends.”

A third-year student who was busy preparing for the center exam was running a part-time job twice a week.

“Aren’t you overusing your body too much?”

School life during the day and extracurricular activities at night, from fitness to a part-time job at a convenience store.

It would be difficult for a normal person to physically endure.

Perhaps reading this thought, Fuuma-senpai said with a small smile and wiped his sweaty face with a towel.

“I know what you’re worried about. But for a Huma ninja who has been trained under extreme conditions, this is not a big deal. On the contrary, since I started following you here, my body has gotten better.”

“Follow me…?”

“Ah. No, forget what I just said because it’s a lie.”

After saying that in a hurry, Fuuma-senpai voluntarily paid the tax with a slightly red face.

“At first, I was curious about the secret of your strength, so I chased it for a few days.

He seems to be talking about stalking at the beginning of the semester.

At the time, I didn’t know why they were suddenly following me, but there must have been something like this.

“Anyway, are you going to go to the store written at this address tomorrow?”

“That’s right. Most of the customers are gone around 2 o’clock, so it’s a free time, so I’ll have plenty of time to talk with you.”

“Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow then.”

After saying that, I nodded and saw off Fuuma-senpai, who was going home first.

June 24th (土)

The summer forest school is just two days away.

Since we decided to meet tomorrow to buy the ingredients at once, today’s schedule was relatively wide.

While enjoying the honey-like holiday, having breakfast and rolling around the floor, I remembered that I hadn’t looked up the address in the note that Fuuma-senpai gave me yesterday.

When I put the comic book I was reading aside for a while and entered the address in the search bar of the portal site, it showed me where the cafe where my senior worked.

“…Akihabara?”

what? Am I wrong?

I wondered if I was already presbyopia at this age, so I rubbed my eyes and looked at the screen of my smartphone again, but the address still didn’t change.

Akihabara is still a holy place for otakus from all over the world, but when I remembered that I had a bad experience while shopping for a comic book during the last Golden Week, I felt a little bit of resistance.

But in order to hear the story behind this world, Fuuma-senpai’s cooperation was essential.

In order to do that, I had to head back to this magical realm.

“…ha.”

I can’t help it.

I stopped escaping from reality and decided to face it confidently.

It was unlikely that something like that would happen once, not twice, ahead of Forest School, which must be the main episode in the original story.

Even if it happened, it was enough to run away with all my might at that time.

***

[Like Asobi☆Made Akihabara Main Store]

No, was the cafe that Fuuma-senpai worked for referring to this place?

I looked at the address written in the search bar with a bewildered expression while comparing the actual building.

In a sense, it was because the nightmare that I did not want to experience again other than the fight with Ivan was reawakening in my memory.

After retreating for a while, I decided to make contact with Fuuma-senpai in another way.

It was time to think about it and turn my back.

“Kim Yoo-seong? You came, why didn’t you come in, and why are you standing around in front of me?”

daughter! daughter!

I stiffened my body at the sound of a sudden voice coming from the entrance of the cafe with the door open.
