...Yes?

　A student at the academy?

'If you came from another world all by yourself, you must be penniless, not to mention without a place to live?
It's a--

　Indeed, he was right.

Or do you have a guess?
No, no, no.

　You've got a youthful body and the power to call up strange, ungainly chains, but....
　That's right.
　How am I going to live my life from now on?
　It is important to find what you really want to do, but first you have to find a place to sit down.
　However, I don't have the resources or money to find a place to sit down.
　When I checked my pocket wallet a moment ago, there were six thousand yen bills exactly in it, but in this world, they're probably just pieces of paper.
　Of course, in this world, there is no such thing as a family home.

''..........''

　What emerged here was an all too real problem.
　A place to live and money to live.
　Well, what to do........
　The headmaster smiled at me as if he could see right through me.

''You were originally mistaken for a new student and brought in, weren't you?
Yeah, I've heard that.
Then why don't you really try living as a freshman at this school?
As a student at the school...?
We'll help you as much as we can. How?　It's quite an attractive proposition, don't you think?

　Considering the situation I'm in now, it was certainly an attractive proposition.
　The fact that they're going to take care of our lives means that they're going to find us a place to sleep and sleep.
　Just having a place to sleep and wake up makes a world of difference compared to just being thrown out.
　At first I thought it was bad luck, but perhaps it was just luck that I was sent to a place near this school.
　There's no need to get lost..........

''Understood.''
What do you mean?
As a student of the academy, I'm going to need you to keep me here for a while.

　The headmaster nodded with satisfaction.

'No thanks.'

　Hmm.
　I feel like I'm getting entangled in this, though.
　But no matter what, I can't turn my back on them.
　Besides, I added the phrase "for a while" in a casual way.
　I didn't say it was going to stay forever.

I'm sure I'll be able to take care of the paperwork for admission and your identification. Don't worry. With my authority, it would be so unmitigated that I would pretend that someone who doesn't originally exist existed existed.

　Pretending that someone who doesn't exist originally existed existed...The headmaster has that kind of power?
　Who the hell is this person?

..........

　But still........a student, huh?
　I never thought that I'd end up living student life again in this way, never in my wildest dreams.
　However, when I think about my student life from now on, it could be said to be a fortuitous thing that I looked younger.
　No, I still don't know if all the students in this world are as young as the world before....

　Well, anyway.
　We should be honestly happy about the fact that the flow of life base seems to be stable.
　For now, it seems that we have avoided facing the agony of living or dying in reality.

''By the way, what kind of place is this academy?''

　It would be better to confirm whether this is an institution that is completely different from the educational institution you attended in the previous world, or whether it is a place that is not that different.
　At the very least, I'd like to at least ask what the school exists for....
　As I recall, I think that guard said something about the candidates.

The St. Renowthread Academy is a school that trains candidates for the Holy Jury. Well........where do I begin to explain it?
'Yea, it's only weird if you don't know something in general... well, basic education-wise?

　Maybe ... if you cram it all in at once, you forget it.
　My brain isn't very good.
　I mean, if I was excellent, I wouldn't have been like that in the previous world........

'Basic education, you know........wait?　If you're from another world that means you don't even know the name of this world, right?
Does the world have a name?

　In the previous world, I think the world could only be called 'world'.
　Well, I'd venture to say that the word for 'world' would be 'earth' in the previous world...?

The humans of this world call the world they live in 'Yggdrasier'. Some say it was originally named after the god who created this world.

　Yggdrasier, huh?
　As a Japanese geek who loves Norse mythology, what I can't help but associate with that name is that famous big tree....
　Hmm.....
　Then, could it be that there are people who are warrior maidens?
　If I grow up and become a good warrior will you lead me to a Valhalla-like place when I die?

　....................
　Huh, anyway.
　Oh, yeah.
　That big tree.
　The big tree that I saw just before I lost consciousness for the second time.
　A vivid, intense impression.
　The outpouring of divinity.
　The majesty of the tree.
　It's still fresh in my mind.
　Maybe there is so much more to ask.
　But what I wanted to know more than anything else was about that big tree.

'Um, when I first woke up in this world, I saw a very large and mysterious tree, and it was...'
'The holy tree. It's an object of faith and a symbol to the people of this country.
Seiki....

　I see.
　An object of faith, I see.
　If so, no wonder it's so godlike.
　I'll have to take a closer look at it next time when I get a chance.

Is there anything else you want to ask me?　By the way, I'll tell you about what I'm going to do tomorrow. It's about time for me to go to bed myself.
Well,

　Things I should know, huh?
　I'm sure there are a lot of other things that you should ask about, such as magic, holy elements, and geography.......
　But, well, it's just that.
　I paused for a moment and then spoke up with a question.

''What is a forbidden curse?''

　The headmaster lowered his lashes and smiled bewitchingly.

'Well, that's it after all.'
I have a feeling that if you don't use it correctly, it can be dangerous. That's why I wanted to get as much information as possible.

　The headmaster poked his cheekbones loosely and stared into the darkness behind the lace curtains.

''The Forbidden Spell is a forbidden spell that is said to have existed in the distant past. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. However, the forbidden spell is only said to have existed, and the spellbook kept as an ancient document is valuable as a historical document, but it is not thought to be authentic. So the forbidden curse is only a fictional mythological motif... everyone thinks so.

　The headmaster turned to me.

'Why?　One major reason. It's because 'no one can read' the spellbook that is supposed to contain the forbidden curse.
Anybody else?
No one else. At least not in the last few hundred years.
Hundreds of years...
No one has ever been able to decipher the cursed scrolls, no matter how many linguists have tried. But no one has ever been able to decipher them. The only thing we've learned is that it seems to be a cursed scroll with a forbidden curse.

　The Dean gently strokes the surface of the desk with his fingertips.

It's not that the forbidden spellbook is completely worthless because it has academic value as an ancient document. But the reality is that they are not kept that tightly.

　The headmaster inspected the fingertips that traced the surface of the desk, seemingly without meaning to.

''Well, as far as basic education goes, I guess that's about it. Oh, and ... your forbidden curse, but could you basically refrain from using it in public?

　It still doesn't seem like something you can use without a second thought.

I understand. I'll be more careful from now on.
Good.
'By the way, may I ask you to give me a reason why I shouldn't use it?　In case you've become a user, I'd like to know why.

　If there is any risk in using a forbidden curse, I need to know.
　
　Hm?
　The headmaster, with his hands clasped together in front of his face, averts his gaze to the side...?
　He looks like he's in a bad mood.
　Is a forbidden curse really that risky?
　Like if it's not good, it could be fatal?
　But at the moment, there's not any particular physical change in my body.
　Of course, there is a possibility that it could affect you in some way with the time difference, but....
　I stared at the head of the school for an answer.
　Her gaze, which had been averted, catches me.

''.......What is it?''
''About the forbidden curse... jutsu, was it?　What's the difference between that and that?　For example ... it's a huge risk,
''That's right. There's a tremendous risk involved in the use of the forbidden spell.
Hey, what's the risk?　........or rather, why are you looking away again?
Hmm...

　So the headmaster was at a loss for words.

''..........''

　Huh?
　Could it be that the headmaster.......actually doesn't understand anything?
　But if that's the case, why did you do it--

　It was then.

Tsk.

　I thought I heard a tongue lashing so loud it seemed to disappear.
　Dean...?

"Sagara Kurohiko-kun.
Yes, sir.
I'll give you some good looks.
...Yes?

　Good eye?
　What do you mean "good eye"?

So I ask that you keep this matter of the forbidden curse as private as possible. As a general rule, you are not allowed to talk to anyone about the forbidden curse.
Huh, huh...
Okay?
..........
Y-yes, I-yes, huh?
Yes.

　What?
　How does it feel to be pushed around this forcefully?
　The headmaster stares at me, confused, with an expression that doesn't say anything.

''..........''

　And anyway, it seems that the head of the school doesn't want others to know too much about the existence of the forbidden curse.
　Well, she must have her own ideas.
　She's the only person I can practically rely on in this world right now, so it's no use arguing with her over something so trivial.
　I'll just listen to what she says quietly for now.
　I was actually planning to ask various people about the forbidden curse....

''Well,''

　The headmaster pulled up a chair and stood up.

'It's late today. Let's talk about the details tomorrow and go to bed.'
Huh.

　I mean, where am I supposed to sleep?
　If you can sleep indoors, I'm totally fine with the floor, but.....

　Tototo, the headmaster walks to the door on the left side of the room.
　By the way, the headmaster's long room has one door on each side of the wall.
　When I stand in front of the door on my left, the headmaster twists the doorknob.
　The door opens.
　The headmaster turns to me.

"This is my bedroom.
Really?
You're going to sleep here tonight.
Huh.
..........
..........
What's going on?
What's that?
'What ... I'm allowing you to room with me tonight, so get your ass over here.
Huh?

　The Dean of the school scratched his head unceremoniously.

Oh my god, you're so smart or slow, I can't even tell if you're intelligent or slow...!　I'm allowing you to sleep with me in my room tonight and I'm telling you to get your ass over here!　You should understand that at once, you anchorman!

　It took me quite a while to understand the words that came out of the mouth of the beautiful girl in front of me with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.
　In the room, sleeping together...?
　With the Dean?

..........

　Huh?
