Chapter 2: A Dream and a New Beginning

"My head hurts......"

I braced myself to my feet in a bit of a daze, perhaps because I had taken a nap on the hard counter, and my whole body was protesting. This is not going to work, we have to finish loading this afternoon.

"Just kidding, it's already dark......"

I was taken aback. No matter what I think, it's true that no sunlight is shining through the main entrance to the east of the shop. Did you neglect exercising for too long, I wanted to take a nap and ended up sleeping all afternoon. It seems that I have had a long dream...... Looks like we're going to have to work overtime tonight. I struggled to remember it as I searched for the lamp.

Memories are lifted up like buckets in a deep well, but they are not a good thing. Dark, dark, dark...... I had no interest in distinguishing between right and wrong, or looking for results, because I knew in my heart what it was, and I had already reached a conclusion.

"The light is still in the box. What a hassle......

By the way, it was a dream, but it wasn't a dream, because I deliberately forgot the past of time. That time I fell into the darkness of unknown things and could not go to the end, but when I was almost desperate, I saw the light that spread from the cracks in the shape of the eyes. If I had to describe it, it was the door to another world that opened in front of me.

In this world, there are demons. I really saw it when I survived, and since then, I have become able to [see]. The power that wraps around the demon or demon hunter, as well as the flow of this thing in the air, can be clearly reflected in the eyes. Out of the courage of adventure and exploration, after a trek in the wilderness, in search of this power, a man came to the vicinity of the Vantesi Academy - no, it was better to be shipwrecked here. At the time, it's hard to say whether or not I had a longing for these supernatural things, but now I'm just opening a shop with peace of mind.

I lit the light, but it was still surprisingly dark in the room. At the same time, a soft knock echoed through the narrow shop. If it had been at that time, I would have been suspicious to the point of creepy. Later, I heard from a teacher in the school park.,"Darkness just represents the 'nothing' of visual information",There's a lot of theories that don't look like people in the world at all.,Finally got rid of this shadow.。 If the light is dim, it's just that what I'm seeing is disturbed, is that right...... I comforted myself in this way, suppressed my inner anxiety, and stepped forward to open the door. When I saw the visitor outside the door, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately became nervous again.

"Distinguished guests...... You're here in person, and the humble house is full of sparkle. ”

"Where, where. I didn't give advance notice, I'm sorry~"

While reciting polite words that I didn't understand very well, I welcomed the customer, who looked like a completely Western girl, into the store, and sacrificed the only chair for this. There's no way.,This one who was exclaimed by the students as a sister goddess.,In fact,It's the power of life and death that controls my little shop.,Fantesi School Park.,Lord Principal.。 Full name, Yakumo Murasaki.

Ah, although there is no problem with the lighting, the reason why the room is very dim has been found. It's really visually disturbed. It may be strange to say that, but that's what I was like when I first met her a few years ago. Do you obstruct the "message" of the light because you see it? Does being strong as a demon hunter also help with rejuvenation......

"You seem to be thinking something rude."

"No, no! That one...... My permission to open a store has come down, right? ”

"Oh, don't be in such a hurry, young man."

As he spoke, the principal stood up and walked briskly back and forth in the shop with the folding fan in his hand. I touched my nose unconsciously. Called a young man by a girl who doesn't look like this.,As a person who thinks of himself as an uncle.,Of course, it feels awkward.。 However, instead of thinking about it here, it is important to make a living in the future.

"I can't help but be nervous. This is related to my job, so please understand. ”

While I was here to be respectful, the principal looked at all corners of the store as if he were an appraisal, nodding his head from time to time, and at the end, he said something inexplicable, "It's okay." That's it. The fluffy dress swayed in a landscape of alternating pink and light purple.

"Headmaster...... What was the outcome of the school board discussion? ”

Even though the headmaster's face was acceptable, I asked anyway to make sure.

"No."

"That's good, no...... What the? Veto? ”

This person, although he has always been smiling like that, but this kind of news that is tantamount to the end of the world to me can be said casually, as if talking about the weather? I've always had a lot of respect for the principal, but it's a demon!

"Please! Anyway, didn't you guarantee my job? ”

"Oops, is it just a job?"

"Is there anything more important than a job......

Having said that, I couldn't help but feel weak. It's the principal's words...... No, no, how could the headmaster, who has a lot of opportunities, notice me as a little person! As I tried to pray, terrible words jumped out of her lips.

"Last year, a grocery store called Korindo opened in the middle of Gakuen Kuni. After a year of business getting better, the owner stopped renting the store and left. Four years ago, a grocery store called Korindo opened in the elementary school of the school. After three years of running the business, the business improved slightly, but the owner stopped renting the store and left. Five years ago......"

"Wow! Please, say no more! What the hell are you here for? ”

Utter panic gave rise to courage, and with this courage, I cried out before the most terrible black history could be uttered from the mouths of the headmaster. After that, fear and regret came to my heart at the same time...... The headmaster looked at my head, probably a wonderful face, and laughed.

"Now, the school has a chance to hire you."

"Hire, hire?"

"That's right. By the way, there is also the benefit of auditing the course. ”

Well, to be honest, I'm intrigued. Anyone who has seen this world,There's no way it's impossible not to be interested in the curriculum of the school park.。 However, being hired or something is contrary to my ideals......

"That...... Do I have a choice? ”

"Well, I promise, you'll be more than happy to do so. Isn't the official letter of appointment, Reimu already stolen from my office and given to you? ”

"Eh

After saying this, the headmaster slapped the table, turned around lightly, and floated out of the door without a trace of fireworks.

"-By the way, since you're a regular employee of the school, you can tell you the real name of the school. Qin-Su-崆, that's what we call it. Did you listen up? ”

"Qin-Su-Kong?"

"In other words, [Gensokyo]. Also, you can call me by my name directly. I'm always listening to the principal or something, and I feel like I'm getting old. ”

Fantasy... Think... Village......? The name was chewed between his teeth, and suddenly a strange sensation came over me.

"Ah, yes! That letter ......"

I frantically rummaged through the cabinets. Reimu sat on the piece of paper for a while, and then asked Marisa to take it and wipe her clothes, not knowing what it looked like now...... I looked up, only to see the crumpled piece of paper on my desk. Probably the principal's means, I couldn't be surprised, so I quickly picked it up and read the words on it.

[Due to the shortage of dormitories in the school park, Xianglin Hall is now temporarily requisitioned as the sixth dormitory building of Fantesi School Park for some skipping and transfer students. Hire Rinnosuke Mori as a life teacher in the sixth dormitory building......]

There's no need to look at the rest anymore. I looked out the door—for a moment, speechless. The heart skipped a beat in an instant.

The headmaster, who should be called purple now, wasn't outside. In sight, there is an arc of light that slowly closes.

In the drowsy twilight, it was the same light that had been hooked up with memories for a long time, exactly as it had been when I first [saw] the world.

PS: If the May disease does not last for five months, what is it called May disease?

PS2: Day Update...... It should be able to keep it up for a few more days
