Reiryuu Academy Student Council

Early morning dojo at dawn.

One sound of swinging a bamboo knife woods the spirit.

The sound you create alone is powerful enough to make you wonder if dozens of people are united and bareback.

It's time for the other gatekeepers to arch. Advantage brought the bamboo knife back to its original location.

"Brother."

By the time Advantage had finished cleaning the dojo, Merit, dressed in a pale yellow kimono, put his face on the dojo. Apparently he brought me a towel and water in his favor.

"Thank you. Are you all awake already?

"Yes, as soon as you have your brother's support, you will all have breakfast."

"Really?"

Advantage wiped his own face with his forehead sticking to his face with sweat.

The amount of sweat tells me that he was doing his auditions as hard as usual.

Utility looked complicated in his favor and turned his back on him.

"... brother"

"Yes."

Advantage looks back to merit. I also found it advantageous to see from behind that the merit was bowed down. The advantage of wondering how such a feat looked tilted his neck.

"Utility, what's wrong?

"... My brother has never had an outsider in a dojo in a long time"

When Utility said so, Advantage answered nothing. When advantages said nothing, Utility kept his mouth open.

"But last night... your brother had Nanhara in the dojo, right?"

"... Yes"

I replied after a little while. Advantageously, Utility obviously distorted his face.

"Why not?"

"... because Nanhara was just there after the audition. I thought it would be a bad idea to make them wait outside."

When he gave his reasons with a face whose advantages were flat, Utility bit his lips.

"Brother, don't you treat Nanhara better than the others?

"I don't mean to. However, Nanhara is the only woman on the board..."

When Advantage said that much, Utility laughed with a hoot of nose.

"Your brother won't punish you, will he?"

"... what does that mean"

"Have you forgotten how people have been approaching your brother before?

Utility triumphs in its favour.

Advantageously, I know what Utility wants to say. Because we know how it feels to be meritorious, advantages cannot escape the sharp gaze of merit either.

"You can't forget that."

"Then..."

"But Kamiyo-kun, Kagejo-kun, Shu and Lotus Moon were different from the people we've been seeing before. And you know what merit is."

"I know. But I don't think Nanahara is the same person as the others."

The merit ran out clearly. But the advantages only echoed that statement with a strong voice.

"Utility misunderstands Mr. Nanhara. Nanhara-san is different."

Advantage stares straight at merit and says. Utility couldn't stand that gaze and turned away.

"My brother... he doesn't know anything. I... I don't want you to think that again!

"Merit."

Advantage grabs the arm of merit trying to escape. But Utility shook that arm off thoughtfully.

"If your brother says so much, you just have to believe in Nanhara and believe it or not. But still..."

- If your brother will excel in the martial arts until my minute, that will suffice -

"Just keep your promise to me"

That's what Utility says, leaving the dojo. Then I bumped into my grandfather, who came to the dojo for an audition.

"Utility, what's wrong? Is that a favorable help?

"Grandpa. I just came to contact my brother. Excuse me."

To his laughing grandfather, Utility told him pale and left.

"Utility, I'm tempted. Did I do something?

"No. It's my fault, sorry"

Advantage bowed his head to his grandfather.

"What? Whoa. You shook up a wooden knife and yelled at me, didn't you? Advantageous, because your Lord's dual personality is scary."

My grandfather laughs with pleasure, but his advantages remained cloudy on his face.

"Grandpa...... Is it a mistake to try to believe people?"

My grandfather sighed small when he saw the advantages of spelling out the words in a whining voice somewhere.

"People can't do anything to get help from others. It's hard to live without believing in people."

"... Utility has been a hard feeling since that day five years ago..."

On the beneficial face bent down, the damp hair becomes parched. Even if he can't see his face, only a weak voice in his favor conveys his thoughts to his grandfather.

"Advantageous. You can't move forward if you're trapped in the past. We have to do something about merit on our own."

"You can't say that to me..."

Advantage said in a repentant voice.

Once upon a time, there was no more merit in laughing innocently. It's no exaggeration to take that smile away from her.

"Yes..."

"Grandpa, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, so am I. Now excuse me."

Advantage crisscrossed my grandfather and left the dojo.

"... troubled grandchildren."

My grandfather groans like trouble watching after the advantage leaves.

"I don't know how I'm gonna get a buddy... Bye"

Still somewhere fun, my advantageous grandfather took the wooden knife.
