I might not have to attend classes legally.

　The next morning, after a good night's sleep with these hopes in my heart, I arrived at Professor Tia's research building.



　He had given me permission to use his room, which would serve as a base for my reclusive life at the school. But it was used to be a storage room, so it needs to be cleaned.

　It's a hassle, but it's the only way. I can send all the things I don't need to Mystery Space-Time and it will be clean and tidy.



　The room is a corner room on the second floor.

　I arrive at the apartment with a sense of excitement.



"Good morning!　Brother."



　You, with your arms rolled up, your hair tied back in a single bun, and your apron on, are the one..,



"Char, what are you doing?"



"I heard that this room will be your base from today. So I've come to clean up."



　My angel Charlotte smiling at me. Well, we talked about that last night. You're moving fast.

　A red shadow jumps out behind her.



"Hmmm... cleaning is for maids... And speaking of maids, this is Frey. Leave the cleaning to me!"



　The demoness, immersed in her maid work, slammed a huge piece of junk she was carrying into the hallway. What are you going to do with that?



"Oh, Mr. Hurt. Good morning."



　Now Riza appears. She, too, has a big pile of junk and piles it up in the hallway. So that's ...... well, I'll just get rid of it.

　By the way, Riza is hiding her horns and stuff, but Frey's got his chemo ears and tail just the way they are. I guess I don't have to worry about it here.



　Since my sister is cleaning up the mess... I thought I'd help her as a big brother...



"Hmmm~......?　What's up, you've been making a lot of noise this morning.



　Rubbing her eyelids, Professor Tia came in, dressed in her pajamas. He is wearing a nightcap like a Santa hat on his head. It was unusual for him to sleep in his bed.



"Good morning, Professor Tia Liitta!



　When Charles greets him with a big smile, Professor Tia looks doubtful.



"Ah, well, it's nice to meet you at ....... Who is it?"



　Well, you've never met Charles himself. Weiss Ohl, the mysterious research genius, is supposed to be hiding his true identity behind a white mask. Well, it was obvious, but he was able to make conversation with us here.



　But you know what?　

　Charles says, "Hmm?" He tilts his head. After a while, I had a hiccup.



"It was nice to meet you!　Yes, you and I have never met. Yes, we have. I am your brother's sister, Charlotte Semphis.



"...... thank you for your kindness."



　He comes up to me and says in a whisper.



"Is she all right?　I'm worried about a lot of things."



"If you could just look at me with an open mind. And if anything goes wrong, please clean up the mess.



Isn't that what you're supposed to do?　I don't want to be a part of it."



　I couldn't leave Char-chan in a daze at my whispering, so I started to help her.



"Can I throw this junk away?"



"No, you can't. Even though I know it is no longer of any use, I believe it will be of some use someday.



"No, you don't plan to use it, do you?　Let's throw it away."



What a waste!



It's a waste of space."



　Overcoming the objections of my professor, who is incapable of decluttering, I throw all my junk into the mysterious space-time.



"Storage magic?　How do you do that?



　I'm getting too noisy.

　Riza comes up to me quickly.



"Excuse me, Mr. Hurt?　Can I show her the ancient magic?"



　Come to think of it, I haven't told Professor Tia that I confessed to her that I am Shiva yet.



"Don't worry. We're working it out."



"I see. If Mr. Harte says so, I'm relieved.



　The look in your eyes when you trust me. I wouldn't mind telling you, but the timing is just not right.



　Anyway, the four of us clean up fast. In no time at all, the place is clean and the floors, walls, and even the ceiling are sparkling clean. It's a little bigger than my dorm room. But there's nothing in the room.



　I take out a bed and a chest of drawers from the mysterious space-time and put them in place. Professor Tia is so excited that Frey has her in a choke hold.



　Well, the base is almost ready. All that's left to do now is to connect my paradise to this room by a <.

　We'll do that after Professor Tia is gone. I don't want paradise invaded.



　It's still a little early for lunch, but we all move into the large room and devour the lunch Frey has prepared for us.



"By the way, did Professor Belcam do a good job?"






　She is supposed to be working with the other teachers to get the institute to let me out of the classroom.



　Speak of the devil.

　I hear her pacing down the hallway.



"Is Hart Semphis here?"



　Professor Belkam, welcome.



There you are. I see you.　There are two faces I don't recognize. And that one with the red hair is a ...... demon?



　Oh, shit. Frey's ears and tail look exactly the same.



"Oh, well."



　It's okay.



"Professor Belkam, thank you for your time. How are the negotiations going?



"Well, it went well. Now it's up to you.



"Thank you very much!"



　Now I can stay in school if I can just get through this archaeological dig. Shhhh, shhhh.



The dean will explain the details. Head there now."



"What?



　I'm not the one sounding surprised. It's Professor Tia.



"Wait a minute. Ora, are you sure the negotiations were a success?



"You said it went well.　We have given our teachers what they want. The dean was generally (・・・・) understanding. He will make a final decision after hearing from Hart Semphis himself.



　Since it is up to me to decide whether or not to take the class, it seems only natural that I should hear from him, even if it is a hassle. However...



"Isn't that, in general, a failed negotiation?"



　Professor Tiah said something strange.



"...... Harte Semphis would have no problem with that."



　And why does Professor Belkam look away?



"Was the dean a bad-looking guy?"



　I saw her give a speech at the entrance ceremony once, but I think she was a relaxed older sister (apparently, her actual age is much older). I was half asleep, so I don't remember much.



"It's not that she has a twisted personality or anything. In fact, I don't know anyone who is as straight as that. I mean, there's one girl in this room who is the equal of him, but she's the complete opposite. That's why you're not a good match."



　Is she a straight girl, Char?　What do you mean by the exact opposite of your lineage?



"You only have to be careful of one thing."



　Professor Tia sticks her finger right up to my nose and says...



"You have to play the part of a serious, hardworking student!"



　Uh, yes. That's impossible.

　I managed to swallow my words.
