「...... Good morning."

Akira was a little confused by what she looked completely different from Cheryl yesterday.

His expression was full of confidence and calmness, and he couldn't see the shadow of yesterday at all.

A bright smile that significantly enhances the natural beauty of a young girl.

Akira thought the change was a little scary.

After that, we had breakfast together.

The contents of the meal were frozen as usual.

In other words, it's the same as usual, it's not very delicious, but the person who talks about it doesn't look the same as usual.

Akira was slightly oppressed by Cheryl, who had completely changed the atmosphere, while continuing to eat.

Cheryl calmly and very happily continued to eat.

If the taste can be reflected in the expression, it will be the scene of eating the same thing.

Cheryl stopped eating once and carefully bowed her head to Akira.

"Akira. Sorry yesterday. Sorry for the trouble."

"Huh? yes. It seems like it's okay anymore, I don't care. ”

Akira replied without thinking, remembering what had happened yesterday.

It started with a dispute with the Cheryls.

However, it is not so much the same as himself who has expanded the riots to that extent.

Although I didn't feel bad, I still had this kind of self-awareness.

Although he casually guessed whether he was disgusted by the people around him, he thought that he was just being treated with ordinary courtesy.

I am a little concerned about the troublesome reaction caused by the result of not getting along with the people around me.,Answer all kinds of mixed answers without hindrance.。

"Well, a lot happened yesterday, please let me know if there's anything else next time. ”

It's better not to call it yet.

If you think so, you should have some reaction.

Akira thought so.

But Cheryl had an unexpected reaction.

"In that case, can I hug you now?"

Cheryl smiled happily and said something unexpected, and Akira replied in confusion.

「...... Why?"

"It's reassuring to hold Akira. I always feel a little calm. ”

"No"

"Isn't it great? ”

"No, reduce.

Yes, my mobility, ease of movement, etc. will be reduced.

And I'm eating right now, so it won't taste good if I'm being hugged. ”

"In that case, I'll be able to eat it. 」

「...... Eat for myself."

Cheryl smiled and kept biting down.

She leaned in lightly and looked at Akira, who was squirming slightly.

"In that case, you'll be able to eat it, right? It's really hard to run the party.

So I also felt mentally exhausted.

That's why I caused you trouble yesterday.

It's to prevent it.

This alone reduces the chances of trouble Akira.

Isn't it great?"

Akira always felt that something was wrong.

As long as you answer appropriately, there will be a variety of reasons to stick with it until you are accepted.

If you strongly refuse, you will feel like you will be back to the way you were yesterday.

In that case, is it better to be held?

And there is nothing uncomfortable.

Akira judged it that way.

"Got it. Eat again after eating. ”

Cheryl smiled happily.

"Thank you"

Cheryl succeeded in channeling Akira's thinking.

Alpha noticed this and raised his vigilance against Cheryl slightly.

After the meal, Cheryl hugged Akira as agreed.

After eating, Cheryl hugged Akira tightly as agreed.

Facing Akira, who is seated, she straddles her face lightly from the front to the other person's feet.

While putting his hands on the other person's neck and back, he made an expression of indulgence in comfort and made additional requests.

"Can you touch my back with your hand and stroke my head?"

“...... Well, you can. ”

Hearing Akira say this, Cheryl let out a mumbling sound from her mouth, and her expression relaxed with happiness.

(What am I doing......)

Akira, with a subtle expression that has doubts about her actions.

Seeing Alpha's meaningful smile, he tilted his face a little unhappily.

"What?"

"Nothing. You seem to miss me more than that. ”

'What did I say......

"Come on, I don't know. It's just that I don't leave. Is today's learning a straight start?"

If you continue like this, you will really fall into the situation of being held by Cheryl to learn.

Akira thought so and let go of Cheryl's hand.

"Cheryl, get out of here. I also have a lot to do. ”

"I see......"

After Cheryl replied in a lonely voice, she reluctantly left Akira.

Akira felt that she might be severely resisted somewhere in her mind, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheryl turned her head and smiled.

"I'm going back to the base.

I must tell you what happened yesterday.

If it's convenient, can you send me to the base?"

"Ah, I see. ”

"Thank you. ”

Cheryl smiled happily as she bowed her head solemnly.

After that, Akira sent Cheryl to the stronghold.

During that time, Cheryl has been happy.

Halfway through, even though Akira cast a puzzled glance at her, Cheryl didn't care, smiling happily.

Cheryl bowed her head cautiously at the door of the stronghold.

"Thank you for sending me.

Contact me if anything.

Then, even if there is nothing special to do, I will be very happy if I can come and show my face.

I'm going to try not to trouble Akira, but the management of the student party is really hard.

So it's very helpful to have a good opportunity to change your mood like today. ”

「...... Forget it, I'll show up as soon as I have time. 」

"Thank you. We look forward to seeing you there. ”

Cheryl watched her return until Akira was completely out of sight.

Akira screamed softly on the way home.

Akira, while realizing that she had been ruined by Cheryl, remembered what had happened today since yesterday.

Alpha. Cheryl is really weird, isn't she?

It's said that a lot has changed, although it can't be explained very well."

"It's not particularly clogged, I don't think I care much. 』

"Ah, yes, but ......"

Alpha had a disgruntled look on his face.

"Rather than worrying about things like that, it's better to be careful not to get into trouble again before the enhanced suit arrives.

Is it really dangerous this time?'

Akira smiled wryly and made excuses.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't expect it to be like that. ”

Akira's excuse is a justification for the mistake of not expecting the situation, not for his own actions that have worsened the situation.

And Akira didn't have that kind of awareness.

Alpha understood this, once again confirming the difficulty of Akira's control.

Pierce the nail with a somewhat serious expression.

"Because I really didn't go out this time until the enhanced suit was delivered. 』

"I hear you get it. Next time, I'll be kind. ”

Akira replied firmly to curry favor with Alpha.

The children of Cheryl's student party had a sleepless night.

After that kind of riot, Akira and Cheryl, who came out of the stronghold, did not return for the night, and most of them were pessimistic.

Akira and Cheryl have been killed.

It also developed into an all-out war with the Thima's outlaws.

There are also many people who think so, and the corresponding number of people has escaped from the gangsters.

Now the rest of the people are not so much believing in the Cheryls who are in the negotiations, but because there is nowhere else to go.

Cheryl will come back there.

The stronghold amplified the commotion.

Cheryl looked at everyone's uneasy appearance, and did not change her calm smile.

"I'm back now.

Was anything going on while I wasn't there?"

The children crowded around Cheryl in a panic.

"Something's wrong, isn't it!?

What's been going on since then!?"

Despite being surrounded in a sense, Cheryl was very calm.

"It doesn't matter.

I had a good talk with Sima's apprentices.

No more problems. ”

The children started to be more noisy.

It's a longing answer, but it's also an unexpected one.

Let's start looking for details.

"It's okay, is it true??

Isn't he alone??was he killed!?"

"Really talked to Sima!?But what should we do if we kill their partner!??"

"Do you have to hand over the stronghold and the territory??What happened to that area??"

Cheryl smiled and calmed everyone down.

"Akira is not injured.

I won't give this stronghold and territory to Sima because of this incident.

We will be able to have a good relationship with the islanders in the future.

Never mind. Rest assured."

Cheryl showed confidence and poise to everyone.

Lies and deception are not felt in the tone.

The children saw Cheryl's appearance and began to calm down in disbelief.

So Cheryl intensified her expression and tone.

"So, what are the people who stay here doing?

Surely there will be work such as site sweeping, patrolling, and scrap metal collection?

Please, is your job over?"

"No, no, it's not the time to do that kind of thing in this situation......"

"What about the people who aren't here? Have you changed your booking?"

When the children met, they replied indescribably.

「...... The guys who weren't here probably ran away."

Cheryl replied briskly.

"Yes. In that case, the plan would have to be rescheduled. ”

Cheryl also fully envisioned it to this extent.

Even if you count the number of people in this place, there is no rush at all.

Although it was great that the person who was able to get out of it had long understood that it was good to be able to get out, he still gave instructions in a calm voice.

"Elio. Please take a few people to find the escapist guys.

If you lose your guns and food, please bring them all back.

There's no need to bring it back.

Elio.

Grasp the loopholes and the rest of the people who listened to everyone, and report back to me when you are done.

The rest had to do the predetermined work. ”

People who meet with others.

I also want to ask people in various situations.

People who can't keep up with the state of affairs.

Stunned people.

There are all kinds of people, but there are no people who want to move.

Cheryl tightened her expression and made a loud noise.

"I'll do it right away!"

Along the way, everyone moved in a panic.

Cheryl went back to her room as soon as she saw that.

The representation of the remainder, representing Elio and Elio face to face.

Elio's expression looked strange, and then tilted a little uneasily.

"Ah, I'm Cheryl, are you a little scared?"

Seeing Cheryl, who smiled confidently and affluently despite yesterday's commotion, Eleo made a similar impression.

But in order to ease Elio's uneasiness, and to keep her calm, she smiled softly.

"Isn't it because of your illness? Even though you look wealthy, you're also very confident. ”

"Really, really? ah, he said it didn't matter, just after that.

Is it better than looking restless?"

"yes. Look, let's get started, too. I'm going to be scolded by my boss. ”

"yes"

Elio and the others also cheered up and got to work.

Cheryl was in her room, happily continuing to think about the future operation of the party.

It turned out that Cheryl was a smart child.

When he was a disciple of Sibel, he also lived a very good life with his wisdom and good deeds.

In contrast, she is not good at menial work.

Since living in the slums, there are many opportunities to be swept up in some kind of storm, but that is spent hiding behind someone's back.

But after the collapse of the gang to which he belonged at the time, death was suddenly thrown into the world that existed around him.

A world that was supposed to be a little bit of a habit was abandoned without any preparation.

It was too cruel for Cheryl to be in the world.

The constant days of tension, weight and death terror tightened Cheryl's spirit.

The spirit couldn't stand that pressure.

Countless cracks covered the whole.

In the end, receiving the final blow, it finally collapsed.

Shattered debris flew and searched.

Then find it and gather it again as a new support, forming a new shape on the axis of the spirit.

It's just that the gaps of the unstable debris that have gathered together, and the things that pour out from the shaft that are the supports are filled.

Things like salvation, peace of mind, blind faith, and dependence can powerfully bind the missing pieces together.

The fragment itself has deteriorated.

Known as the spirit of Cheryl, after the works that began with the encounter with Akira.

Without changing its name, it is reconstructed into something very similar.

So far, Cheryl has barely used her cleverness because of her horror of the world.

But after gaining peace of mind and regaining confidence and balance, I felt the clarity of the idling gears suddenly meshing.

Cheryl pondered.

Looking back at my stupid idea that I've been around caves lately.

No matter how much, there is a place for improvement.

After deep reflection, I decided to make use of it.

There are a lot of things that come to mind that I want to try.

For each idea, we repeatedly verify and reconsider it, and propose a plan for improvement.

Think about the future of the student council you lead.

Cheryl has to grow more.

It must be more successful.

For yourself.

For Akira.

In order to build a world that is indispensable to oneself and satisfies the happiness of both.

Cheryl dreamed of a hopeful future, and a person smiled seductively.
