#159 - Kids, I'm back.
“Goodbye, everyone.”
“See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow then.”
After the celebration, Zunzun and Ikki Kurogane waved goodbye to everyone.
Toudou Touka seemed like she wanted to say something to him, but in the end, she was forcibly dragged away by the student council members. It seemed the student council was planning for upcoming activities, and as the student council president, she had to help.
Zunzun walked alone on the path.
Moonlight shone on him. Just as he was about to enter the Second Dormitory, he caught sight of a girl.
“…Kagami.”
“It's me!”
Hearing the call, Kusakabe Kagami quickly darted over, as if she had been expecting to be discovered.
“What are you doing here?”
“To interview Zunzun-san, of course.”
“Then why didn't you come with us to the…”
“No can do. A celebration like that, if I were there, it would definitely make you all uncomfortable, right?”
Kusakabe Kagami shook her finger.
Although this person is a reporter, she has never done anything annoying. When she's tailing someone, she makes sure they don't sense her presence at all. Honestly, Zunzun quite likes her.
“Now that the representatives for the upcoming Seven Star Sword Art Festival have been decided, I was hoping to do an interview with you, Zunzun-san. Would that be alright?”
“Alright, I suppose, seeing as you've been waiting for so long.”
Zunzun and she sat on a bench below the dormitory.
Kusakabe Kagami is an excellent reporter. She's well-informed about even the most secretive information, even the secrets of the Kurogane family.
This interview was simple. It was just asking about his thoughts on becoming a representative.
“One last question. Zunzun-san, regarding winning this Seven Star Sword Art Festival, are you determined to win?”
“No. I'm not interested in winning the Seven Star Sword Art Festival. My goal is the Sea of Stars!”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
She couldn't help but clap her hands.
As expected, interviewing Zunzun is more newsworthy. Even though what he said was embarrassing and chuuni, isn't that what news needs?
Having obtained the materials she wanted, Kusakabe Kagami happily left.
Zunzun returned to the dormitory.
After preparing, he headed to the chairman's office.
Knock knock—
“Come in.”
Having received permission, Zunzun pushed the door open and entered.
Chairman Kuromiya Kuranai was buried in her work. In front of her were many documents, which were probably related to the upcoming Seven Star Sword Art Festival.
Zunzun did not disturb her, but waited quietly.
After a while.
“Sorry for the wait. There's too much to do regarding the Seven Star Sword Art Festival, I… What are you dressed as?”
The moment Kuromiya Kuranai raised her head, she was completely stunned.
“I think it's quite normal.”
“Normal?”
Zunzun was carrying a large bag in each hand, and also had a large package on his back. He looked like he was moving houses.
Not only that, but he also looked very bloated.
It wasn't because he had gained weight or anything, but because Zunzun was wearing many layers of clothing, with all kinds of styles for spring, summer, autumn and winter. Roughly estimating, there were about 10 layers.
At this moment.
A 'clatter' sound came from the room.
Something that looked like a game console fell out of Zunzun's package.
“Chairman, don't misunderstand. I'm just a kid, and it's boring on the road, so it's reasonable to bring a game console to relieve boredom, right?”
“You rascal…”
Kuromiya Kuranai lit a cigarette with a headache.
These are souvenirs that Zunzun prepared for his companions.
Because according to the usual routine, he wouldn't be able to bring items that were alive, or possibly anything other than the clothes he was wearing. So Zunzun cleverly wore many layers of clothes, which is why he looked so bloated.
Kuromiya Kuranai inadvertently saw a corner of a document.
“Speaking of which, do you know about the intensive training camp?”
“What?”
“It's mid-July now, and the Seven Star Sword Art Festival is in a month, so I plan to hold a ten-day joint training camp with Kyomon Academy. What do you plan to do…”
“Skip it.”
Huh?!?!?
Zunzun's 'skip it' left Kuromiya Kuranai speechless, and she gave him a punch.
“Listen to me properly!”
“That hurt!”
Zunzun covered his head.
In Japan… no, it should be the whole world, no matter what kind of sport, as long as there is such a big competition, there is usually an intensive training camp before the competition starts.
If it were an anime or a novel, they would definitely experience a surge in strength through this training camp, and at a critical moment, they would comprehend what they learned in the training camp and then turn the tables.
Chairman said meaningfully:
“This time, I managed to invite Toushin Nangou-sensei, to be the coach of the training camp. Aren't you tempted?”
Toushin is a living myth. If you can receive his guidance, your strength will definitely increase greatly.
Unfortunately, some people flock to this kind of rare opportunity, while others disdain it.
“No need.”
“But…”
“No need! I choose to skip this training camp. Chairman, don't persuade me anymore. Didn't you promise me!?”
“What a stubborn brat.”
The chairman lit another cigarette with a headache.
After a long while.
“I want to say it again, this kind of experiment is very dangerous, even I can't control it.”
“Don't worry. I've already asked the vice president to adjust my luck, and with my innate spirit armor and this magic crystal as coordinates, I can definitely go back! I am the chosen one, and also the only one!”
What's with this bursting confidence?
“Alright, since you insist so much.”
The chairman gave up persuading him and came to her lounge with Zunzun, then took out a pair of pistols.
This is her innate spirit armor.
As the former third in the world, Kuromiya Kuranai has a forbidden technique that can distort the space of the target space and shatter it together with the space.
Zunzun himself cannot break through the space, so he can only ask her for help. The condition for the exchange is to win this year's academy championship.
“I didn't expect you to be from another world.”
“I didn't expect the chairman to believe me.”
“Holmes said, when you eliminate all the impossible situations, what remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth.”
At first, Zunzun said he was from another world, and Kuromiya Kuranai refused to believe him.
Because you can't just say you are and expect her to believe you.
But after various proofs, she found that, hey, he really is! Now she had to believe it.
“Speaking of which, you wouldn't be at the Seven Star Sword Art Festival…”
“I will come back.”
Zunzun guaranteed.
Kuromiya Kuranai nodded: “Okay, I'll believe you then.”
“Ah, if I don't come back, just consider me giving up.”
“…I'll kill you!”
Zunzun's answer made her very unhappy.
After staring at each other for a long time, Kuromiya Kuranai seemed to have finally made up her mind and slowly opened her mouth and said:
“Have a good trip.”
“Oh, I'll be right back.”
The chairman's pistols were aimed at Zunzun, and then—
With a 'bang' sound.
A translucent bullet shot out from the gun barrel, breaking through the space in front of Zunzun's chest, and a black different space appeared in front of him.
Space turbulence appeared.
“Oh, oh, oh, I feel it! It's the same as that time! I hear the echo of strong luck!”
Zunzun was emotionally excited.
Although activating the innate spirit armor made his head ache, the joy of going home still washed away all of this. The red magic stone on his forehead seemed to sense something, and emitted a bright and dark light like a breathing light along with the space.
An inexplicable magic power enveloped him.
In the next moment, Zunzun was sucked away by the vortex in front of him, leaving behind a pile of clothes and toys, as well as that important game console.
“…Huh?”
Kuromiya Kuranai blinked her eyes.
Zunzun's souvenirs were not taken away, only he himself disappeared. However—
“Where did this kid's underwear go?”
Kuromiya Kuranai felt strange.
At the same time, the black night clothes that Zunzun had left in the dormitory also disappeared.
…
Bili bili
A black hole appeared, accompanied by strong electric light. Zunzun landed on the ground in a backflip, holding a red gem in his hand. Although he made a cool Terminator appearance, it was a pity that there was no one around.
After everything was over.
He slowly stood up, with a dazed look in his eyes.
“Where the hell did this take me? Is this still 《Landing》?”
Wait, where are my clothes!?
Zunzun was naked at this time.
Not only that, but the souvenirs he had prepared and the clothes he was wearing had also disappeared.
Then the black vortex in front of him seemed to dislike it and spat out a black night suit, which fell in front of Zunzun.
Then the black vortex slowly healed until it disappeared.
Looking at this dress.
Isn't this the night suit I wore when I came? Shouldn't it be placed in the student dormitory?
A cold wind blew past.
Feeling a little gloomy, Zunzun quickly put on the black night suit.
Looking around.
It was the familiar underground laboratory.
“I Hu Han San… cough cough, I Zunzun am back!”
He raised his hands and shouted.
Then Zunzun searched in the underground laboratory. Apart from the dead Chimera and the dilapidated laboratory, he did not see anyone else.
Chris and Alice were not here either.
That's right, how could the two of them keep waiting here? They must have gone out.
Zunzun quickly came to the entrance of the basement.
But this door could not be opened no matter what.
“Good fellow, you can't open it from this side either?”
Just when Zunzun didn't know what to do, he saw a notebook placed next to the door, which read that there was a teleportation array deep in the research institute that could be used to go out, and the signatory was Chris.
She must have known that he was not dead and deliberately left it behind. According to the prompts written in the notebook, Zunzun found the teleportation array and used it to teleport out.
— — — —
After that, Zunzun traveled to 《Landing》 several times, and he found that no matter how long he walked, the time in that world seemed to be stagnant.
Although Aqua said that the time flow of Heaven, Subarashii, and Japan is different, the world was still in a stagnant state for a long time after Sosei passed by, which must be an unusual phenomenon.
Zunzun quickly gave up thinking.
Just like the fruits in this world would hit people, the vegetables would fly in the sky, and the fish would be stuck in the fields, don't try to explore too much, after all, you will lose if you are serious.
