In the morning, the bell rings in the student dormitory and everyone is forced to get up at once.

　I wake up at the bottom of the bunk bed and quickly change my clothes on the spot.
　I look to the side and see that Ranta is also rubbing his eyes and trying to get up.

　Both of us new students are under the bed.
　The two upperclassmen are using the top.

　It's time to clean up before breakfast.
　We have been assigned to clean our rooms.

　We are assigned to our room and the hallway in front of our room.
　I heard that we had to do it right or else the dorm manager would be angry with us.

Uh, it's cleaning time.

　When the upperclassmen didn't get out of bed at all, I called out to them.

'Oh?'　Shut up. Cleaning up is your job for the year.

　The one who spat that out was Gaon, a fourth year student.
　The other senior, third year Isart-san, smirked and sneered.

''Make sure it's properly cleaned up,''

　After saying that, they left the room.

''Well what the hell was that?''
It's all right. Let's do it together.
But hey, it's a lot of work for two people to do in a small room.　There's a hallway, too.

　And then, for some reason, Gaon and the others came back.
　Ranta hurriedly straightened up.

'Hey, was that Ranta?　You're coming with us.
What?
Ha, no. Didn't you hear me?
But cleaning up...
Why don't you just let him do it? So get your ass out here!
Okay, okay.

　Ranta glanced at me and then hurriedly followed Gaon-san.
　I, who was left behind, was left to clean up alone.

''What is it........''

　I thought.


"It's like a fraternity hierarchy!


　Yes, that's it, that's it!
　In a previous life, many people in junior high school would join a club and then suffer their first hierarchical relationships.

　Of course it was hard for them, but I was too sickly to join a club, so I secretly longed for that to happen to me.

　I never thought I'd be able to experience that in person...!

　I cleaned up hard, happy to see that the floor was dust-free and cleaned the dirt that was stuck to it.
　I cleaned the floor to the point where there wasn't even a speck of dust and cleaned off the dirt that had stuck to it.

"I mean, if you look closely, the walls and floor are pretty torn up...

　It's a building that's showing its age, so it can't be helped, but........

''Oh, yeah, we can make it anew with earth magic.

　I clap my hands as I come up with a good idea.





'Good, now we're all set.'

　I wiped the sweat off my face, satisfied with the results.
　Before I knew it, the room was as shiny as new.

Oh, I guess it's time for breakfast. Let's go eat.

　Then, just as I was about to leave the room, Gaon and the others came back.
　Ranta is with them.

'Hey, I hope you've finished cleaning up properly?
Yes, I'm done.
Are you sure?　Let me see.

　Mr. Gaon walks into the room.
　Then he stood there as if stunned.

''........What?　Wait a minute. This is our room, right?

　He rushes outside to check the room number.

'Uh, you're sure you didn't make a mistake?'
Oh, come on.　I mean, sure, that's my stuff...

　Now that I've done my work, I'm hungry.
　I urged Ranta, who was rolling his eyes, to head to the dining room with me.

''Hey, hey, Ark, what the hell did you do?''
What do you mean, I just cleaned up?
'No, it's clearly beyond the level of cleaning!
Yeah, that's why I put new floors and walls on.
I got you a new one!

　Ranta is surprised to see him on his back big time.

　I think you're exaggerating a bit too much.
　In our house, Leila would punch holes in the walls every so often, and her dad would repair them with earth magic.

What did you do with Ranta's side of the house, anyway?
'No, nothing. Just a morning walk.
Yeah, you're having fun.
You're imagining some sort of mild-mannered thing, aren't you?　It's not like that at all.
What do you mean?
He'd find some underclassman and start flirting with him about something he didn't care about. I was like a prefect following him.
Ooh, what a gymnasium!
The education...?

　It was just like a school.

Anyway, it looks like we're rooming with a bunch of senior citizens. It's going to be tough.
'Yes. We'll work together.
"...why do you look so happy?






　There was an entrance ceremony that day.
　The whole school gathered in the main auditorium to listen to the congratulations of the greats.

　Of course, Leila attended the ceremony.
　She's a girl who can't sit still and listen to what people are saying, so she's probably asleep.

Then, the representative of the current students will speak. Fourth year S class, Celestia-Lisela-Edelheid-sama, thank you for your support.

　The new students buzzed for some reason.

''It's Your Highness........''
"His Highness greets you....
I'm glad I got in....

　Apparently she's a princess in this country.
　It's a royal school, and it wouldn't be strange for royalty to be attending.

''Eh....?''

　The moment I saw the student who came to the stage amidst everyone's attention, I froze in place.

　He had a gallant yet cute face and shining silver hair.
　She is a little more mature than she was back then, but there's no way I could mistake her for someone else.

　The girl who appeared on the stage is the same girl who rescued you four years ago when you were being attacked by a necromancer.
