Boku to Kanojo no Game Sensou - Vol 1 Chapter 3
Part 1
The following morning.
I think I should also use the bus to commute.
While thinking these sorts of things, Kishimine was climbing his way up on the long road.
As he didnt wanted to bother the Academy as there were already so many students using their own private vehicles drived by their chauffeur, as expected his body which was lacking physical strength, the distance on this slope felt killingly far. Though, as it was spring it was still fine, but with the soon approaching summer, it will start becoming dreadful by day by day.
On the other hand, if its inside the bus then he will be able to read books as well. But, from home it takes me 15 minutes, if I am gonna use that amount for the bus fees anyways, then I should just walk and use the money to buy new books, he contradicted himself. Quite right, as he didnt had any more space to store new books in his room, maybe it was because of that he was feeling like he was drifting away from the book stores recently.
Yo Kishimine, what a coincidence
The one, who suddenly called him out, was his sole male class mate, Kusakabe.
A, Aah, Morning
Getting to meet up with your classmate, while going to the school. Thats a scene that could be seen anywhere in the morning on this slot of time in particular.
But as Kishimine didnt know what to talk at a moment like this, he was greatly perplexed in his mind.
But, as staying quiet for long would be awkward; plus You dont have anything to talk to me about? he didnt wanted to get an impression from Kusakabe such like that as well. But having said that, he didnt have a slightest clue about which he should start the conversation.
While in the midst of thinking, he suddenly realized something. Kusakabe strangely was in a very good mood today.
You sure look cheerful.
Aah, its because today is a day where various events will take place after all!
Was there something today to make Kusakabe that delightful, he thought at once.
Aah, thats right. He will be able to tour various clubs today.
Whether its swimming club or the rhythmic sports gymnastic club, if he gets the chance to get close to the girls he will join any club happily, or so Kishimine thought.
Come to think of it, Kishimine so you were the one to go by foot as well, huh? Is your house nearby or something?
Eh? Ah, Yeah. Its the same with you as well right?
Well yeah. But, I usually use bicycle.
Eh? Isnt that against the school regulations?
Thats why I always leave it midway at a store nearby managed by one of my relative.
Heh
As the conversation there ended like that, Kishimine again started cold sweating thinking on what he should talk about next.
With that he again realised, that how bad he was at socialising with people
Still, no matter how many times I look at it; it sure is big isnt it? Our school that is
Fortunately, this time Kusakabe took the initiative to start the conversation.
A, Aah, it sure is
Kishimine too while agreeing, started watching the school premises and the huge wall surrounding it.
The total number of students in this school, including both middle school division and high school division are around eight hundred, which is not a large number. But, aside being separate buildings for both middle school and high school, Facilities such as Indoor Pool and Gymnasium are also set up separately for each other. Additionally, as ultra-violets rays are not good for the skin of Ojou-samas, the play grounds are somewhat small, however, the other Indoor Facilities such as Tennis Court and Basketball Court and others are as expected well established separately for both middle school division and high school division. If one compares the total floor space, then obviously there could be no school bigger than this.
Well for meits that thing which I cant help but getting bothered of
He saw the muscular security guards, who interrogated him on his first day after the transfer.
When female students pass, they always greet them with the broad smile but, when the male students pass they always glare at them.
Today too without that being changed, Kishimine and Kusakabe got pierced by the glares of those numerous security guards.
I wonder why we boys are always glared at like that.?
Aah that you see. Is for the exclusion of the trespassers or so it seems to be the case.
That sure is not something to be said that calmly. So what is it about?
There seems to be the case where people try to trespass using this uniform. Thats why those black suit bunch trying to remember us boys face, and seeing whether there is any suspicious person mixed in or not.
Ah, I see. So thats why they checked us thoroughly like that
Well its a school where so many Ojou-sama go to after all. Maybe its because of that reason this school student were always the target of peeping photographic incidents which was even well known to Kishimine. He also heard of the rumours which says that the entrance check at the time of Athletic Meet and School Festival are ton times thorough than this.
It cant be helped as its to protect the female students and all but, he still thought that its maybe a bit over doing things.
Well its not that really a bad thing for us as well you know. Its thanks to that Excessive Security outside, that were blessed by the god of luck himself.
.What do you mean? Whats with such exaggeration?
Want to hear? Do you really want to hear? Alright then let me tell you, you are also a boy after all!
Kusakabe with a smile on his face approached near Kishimines ear.
Do you know? There is a certain rumour in this school, which states that during this schools P.E. period
By giving a short break, like emphasising on the importance of the context, he said.
They still seem to be using bloomers as a uniform.
I see?
To Kishimine, that was the best reaction he couldve given at that moment.
As if Kusakabe didnt like his reaction, he increased his voice.
What the hell is with that reaction? That is the part at which you shouldve gotten more surprised to.
Eh? J-Just what part of this conversation should Ive gotten surprised to?
Its Bloomers you know, BLOOMERS! Bloomers which were said to be already extinct as a legend are still alive, living in this Heisei Era [3-A]Moreover, in this school which is filled with beautiful girls!
B-But Bloomers are just a piece of cloth worn during P.E. right?
W-What the hell are you saying? Dont tell me
For some reason Kishimine, was looked down by the eyes of pity.
Dont tell me that you dont know the greatness of the bloomers? No, wait, I see, well it true that it got extinct when we were still in the elementary school. If I think like that, then its sure cant be helped if you dont know about it.
Yeah, My bad. I am ignorant about such things
He lied.
Well obviously he was well aware about bloomers. As he seen them plentiful of times on the late night T.V. In context, Long time ago it was used as a P.E. uniform or so it seems but, as the exposure in legs was great, the girls started getting reluctant in wearing it, and gradually it got abolished and extinct. Right now it seems that the girls wear them to cover their underwear or something of the sort.
I see, if he imagined the Ojou-samas wearing that in this academy then, definitely he could reason with the Kusakabes excitement. But, as a boy, to say that sort of thing with such frankness looked kinda uncool in the eyes of Kishimine.
Well, you too if get to see the real thing, will for sure give your thanks to those guards. Because of the fact of existence of such a high defence which guarantees the restriction of any suspicious person, great culture such as bloomers is still growing here. As fellow students of this Academy, we should pay our respect to that you know? Getting stared to death by the guards every morning is a very cheap deal if one get to see the sight of those.
for now, I very well understood the reason, of why those bloomers got out of date.
Like that, Kishimine while feeling disgusted realised the degraded reality.
Come to think of it, you sure are in a very good mood todayby any chance is it because of todays P.E. period?
Yup, thats right!
Kusakabe said happily with his teeth sparkling and thumb pointing upwards.
Part 2
Though he said that earlier, it didnt took that much time to change Kusakabes face which was overflowing with hope, to be painted with despair.
After school. Kishimine as per routine was troubled with the complaints of Kusakabe.
To think, that they will separate the period itself for the boys.!
Kusakabe was absentmindedly looking outside the window, with his eyes looking like that of a rotten fish.
You are still at it? Just give up already, as it was the all-girls school till a while ago, its cant be helped.
Physical Education Period which was conducted in the 5thPeriod today.
We are not in the elementary school for fuck sake, so there was no way that the both genders will be paired together in same period. But still, wouldnt they gather all of us together, in the gymnasium or in the ground for the P.E.? It seems that Kusakabe and the others were thinking of something like that. In other words, they thought that they will atleast be able to see the bloomer figure of beautiful girls during that time.
But, the one which gathered in the ground during the 5thperiod were just guys. Moreover all the 3rdyear boys were made to be gathered there together- Kishimine and the rest count (5), together with other (5) who were there in this school from the start and somehow still surviving-in total (10).
In that period of time just what were girls doing, we decided individually on what we hoped to be the answer to that question.
In short, the guys were all completely quarantined.
At this rate, even if the swimming class starts it will be separated just like this isnt it? Hah. Can someone tell me why I have come to this school again?
Seriously, just for what reason you came to this school geez, he wanted to Tsukkomi[3-B]so bad.
How about switching your mood for a start? Look, you will be able to do the club activities from today onwards, right?
Somehow that too feels dubious at this moment. Who knows maybe in the clubs as well it will be separated like this? In this godamn fucking School theres no telling what they will do.
It felt quite plausible to Kishimine.
Even if that being the case, you will atleast be able to tour before right?
Well thats true. Alright then! Lets switch the gears, and go on a tour to Swimming Club shall we? Right now, anything is fine to me if I got to see girls.
After being in contact for few days with this classmate, Kusakabe, He was atleast able to know that how fast this guy was in changing the gears.
Like that it will quite helpful if he gets cheerful by tomorrow though.
As it was quite pain in the ass to deal with him when he is all depressed, he couldnt help but pray that, for the sake of his wellbeing of course.
While heading back towards the Library, he was thinking of what happened during the 5thPeriod.
If one has to see it on a practical scale then, each and every boys who were in their 3rdyear assembled together at one place for the first time but, the students who joined the school 2 year ago, The Survivors were, just like the small puppy who found their new master, joined this school on a whim looked quite impressive. And all 5 of them gave the impression of being someone from the wealthy family and, it seemed that due to being in this sort of situation for continuous 2 years they were very tired of this entire all-girls environment.
On the other hand, Leaving Kishimine aside, the other 3 who joined just recently were just like Kusakabe, had their eyes just like that of a rotten fish. It seems that they were also looking forward to watch those bloomers.
After watching Kusakabe and the rest getting serious over just a piece of cloth used for the P.E. Class, he definitely felt a little bit of jealous. The ones you can say the High Schoolers are maybe from the start are someone like that. Being non theoretical and having no common sense, just crazy about girls in their brain.
But, Kishimine just couldnt able to become assertive like Kusakabe. Its because he didnt had any self-confidence in him.
He somewhat understood the reason of Kusakabes assertiveness towards girls. They pay attention towards their attire and even their hairstyle; they are even good at talking with others. And he thought that if they got approached by some girls, even the girls will also be able to enjoy themselves.
Comparing with that, he was quite confident that he is not at all anywhere near good. His appearance was quite mediocre, and even in studies he was never able to come up in the top rank once, in the regards of exercise he already lost all hope. Maybe its because of him always being alone; he was also bad at socialising, if one to ask his hobby then that will be just reading books. And his only special skill was to get too accustomed in the concentration while reading but, to people that too will just appear as disgusting.
So he just couldnt think of a girl to be delightfully approaching someone like him.
Its not like he is not interested in any lewd things. But, if someone like him excitingly talks about the bloomers and Swimsuits then anyone who will see that for sure will feel disgusted.
Well its all fine, as for me I still have these books
Till now, when he always succumbed to trouble, Kishimine always cleared his mind by saying the same thing. And even the club touring and joining of those who transferred here and new students which was going to happen today, didnt particularly going to change his daily life.
And like usual he entered inside the library. But after proceeding towards his reading seat which was on the second floor, he noticed that there was one preceding visitor before him. And even though it was Kishimine, he too quickly recognized that person. It was that Glasses girl he saw yesterday- if one had to add one more feature about that girl then that will be those huge breast which stood out quite a lotto that sophomore girl.
She was reading the book very quietly sitting on the reading seat but, its maybe she heard the footsteps of someone on the stairs, her eyes met with Kishimines.
Although, there is nothing happened except that, she got all flustered and averted her gaze.
As that was the quite normal reaction of this schools girls, he didnt get bothered by it. Its just, that girl, as she is coming every day in this library means, that she is also a fellow book lover, which made him a little happy.
now that I think of it
Suddenly, he got reminded of the only bond he had with someone from the opposite sex.
Miyabi-chan, I wonder what she is doing right now?
During Kindergarten, she was his childhood friend with whom he spent a short time of one year.
He still remembers the promise he made with her at that time. That when they will grow up, they will read books again together like before.
But, its already been more than 10 years since then. 10 years. That is almost the two-third of a time for an 18 years old person like him, a very and considerate amount of time. Maybe its because of that reason, from quite a while; he couldnt even able to even remember her face. By any chance even if they were able to pass-by each other in this town, he was quite sure that he will not be able tell. It is kinda unfortunate but, that parting with her in that kindergarten maybe will become the last memory of her in his mind.
The thing called life is that sort of thing or so it seems, Kishimine remembered reading something like that in one of the story he read before. In that story, he lived the life of the protagonist like usual. And the story made on the composition of several encounters and separation. A loved one, a trusting friend and a possible arch-enemy,the meeting with those peoples and in the end separation. That was all of it.
Certainly this book was like that as well isnt it? Like that he took out The Count of Monte Cristo from the shelf again. During the marriage with his lover Mercds, getting arrested and thrown into the prison, Edmond Dants. After that, what kind of encounter or farewell awaited him? If he thinks of something like that, then the troubles that were bothering him for a while back became something trivial and soon he forgot about that.
And thus, the consciousness of Kishimine who now returned back to his seat, like usual got engulfed into the story of the book, and he once again turned into the protagonist Edmond Dants.
My Jail breaking plan, which was digging the hole and escaping through it failed.
But, my efforts in the end didnt end up being in vain. Its because I was able to meet the Priest Faria, who was also got captured here on false charges just like me.
After coming in this good for nothing prison, I was able to meet an existence who was here with similar circumstances such as me.
I and Father Faria ended up conversing about a lot of things soon. As he possessed magnificent intelligence, he even told me about his conjecture of why I was captured here. Soon enough he became like a second father to me, and I ended up learning various things from him such as Mathematics, Science, History and Linguistics. To me who only knew how to manipulate the ship, Father Faria gave me various kinds of knowledge. Those Lessons took place inside a dark prison but to me, that time never felt unfortunate.
But, those kind of days didnt lasted for long. And in the end, Father Faria fell under sickness.
But just before his death, he shared an unbelievable secret with me. It was about an existence of a treasure which was hidden by a person who was once a former noble.
And eventually, together with sadness, I lost Father Faria. And once again became all alone.
I was once again was about to fall in despair due to that but, then soon enough I came up with a scary plan to escape from this prison.
I will just have to switch myself with the dead body of Priest Faria which was in the bag brought by the jailer.
And the plan itself went pretty well. Without realising I got casted off in the sea as a dead body, and was able to finally escape that gloomy prison.
And then getting success in jail breaking I, as per Father Farias words, found the treasure which was hidden by the former noble.
And thus able to get my grasp on an unbelievable amount of wealth and power.
And finally, pledged to take revenge against the people who made me and Priest Faria go through such terrible experience.
But at that moment, something like revelation from the heavens fell upon me.
Hey, you
Huh? Eh?
I am sorry, but listen! I have some business with you!
The voice that came from the heaven was an unexpectedly loud and young male voice.
I unintentionally went into mayhem. Dont tell me, now of all times its my time to go to the heaven, No, its just the voice for now, or so I came to the conclusion.
Hmm, he definitely doesnt look like hes sleeping but, he is definitely not noticing me as well. Just what the hell is going on here?
Just too much of an incomprehensible development
That at last broke my concentration, and made me wake up from the world of books.
Kishimine, after returning his consciousness from the book, first gets his self-awareness back.
u-uwaah-!?
He reflexively raised his voice. Its because in front him was the face of an unknown man who was wearing glasses.
Oh, so you finally noticed, huh!?
With an unusually high voice, that man said.
It doesnt seemed like he was the student. A bit tall, with a bit mature atmosphere, and above all what he was wearing was not a school uniform but a white lab coat.
Ah
He finally remembered him.
It was that teacher who spouted nonsense during the yesterdays event about his club and later made to leave with the drop kick of Tendou President.
It appears that you possess some incredible concentration power there with you! You wont notice if one taps your shoulder or if one calls out to you, but there is no sign of you sleeping as well! It wasyes, just like you were possessed by the book or something!
well it somewhat fits. Once I start reading a book, I just couldnt bring myself to stop in middle. Leaving that aside, what business do you have with me?
As he was also bothered by the disturbance he caused in his reading, he asked that with a bit intense expression.
Oh! That was rude of me. I am Physics Teacher, Sena-sensei Akio. I am ashamed to be a bit ill-mannered about such things but, you, whats your name?
Haa?
Why I have to introduce my name to him. He first thought that. But, as that teacher has an atmosphere where you just couldnt defy him, he couldnt able to refuse.
3-Bs, Kishimine Kengo.
Heh, Kishimine-kun, huh?! Its an unfamiliar face considering you are a senior, are you perhaps one of the rumoured Transferred Student?
Yes thats right
Well then, Kishimine-kun. I want to ask you a question here; saydont you want to try marrying a Seiyuu?
Huh?
Ah, my bad, it certainly was a silly question right, as there is not a single male exist in the world who doesnt want to marry a Seiyuu! Alright, lets change the question then. You are a transfer student, and right now in library. So in short, you still havent joined any club, am I correct?
Well, Yeah.
Just why is he asking me such a thing? In the first place, wouldnt he cause problem to other people who are using the library by talking in such a loud voice.
At that time, when he was thinking of such things, it happened.
Kishimine definitely saw it. As if some sort of luminant device was attached to it, Sena-senseis glasses [Kiran] sparkled with a suspicious light.
And then,
Secureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!
Eh? What?
There was no room for resistance and such.
Because before he even realised, Kishimine got covered in a black cloth like thing from bottom to head
And got abducted.
That was, the moment from where Kishimines daily life started deviating.
He didnt able to understand what happened just now.
Just a few minutes ago, he as a mediocre student, was spending his mediocre daily life. And then, inside the Japans topmost safe school, he suddenly got covered inside the black cloth and got abducted, and at the moment getting carried away some sort of a wrapped caterpillar.
Wait what the hell are you doing? Release me please!
Even at a moment like this he was using honorifics as he knew the other person is a sensei.
Shut up! Stay quiet! And dont struggle, I guarantee your safety!
As his body was shaking quiet violently, he guessed that he was being moved from one place to another.
Just what type of crap are you saying?! P-Please put me down.
Just wait for a while, well be there soon! I suggest that you wont talk too much though, as you may bite your tongue like that!
Just whose fault do you think it will be then?
He wanted to protest like that, but as the shaking was very violent due to being on the staircase or something, he was not in a situation to do so.
Eventually, he heard the sound of the door being opened.
Alright, were here. Okay, I am gonna drop you down now!
Eh
He getting prepared for the throw readied his body but, luckily the strong impact he imagined didnt occurred. He was put down on the floor quite easily, and then the knot also got loosened and he came out of the bag.
The first thing that entered his vision was the face of the culprit who kidnapped him.
Jjust what the hell is this?! What is this place? Why did I get kidnapped and brought here?!
Quiet down, I am not a time traveller who kidnapped you for fucks sake; a man shouldnt make a fuss over little things like a little girl! And there is no need to be surprised is it? This is our Modern Game Clubs clubroom, audio-visual prep-room.
Huh?! Modern Game Club!? Audio-Visual Prep-Room!?
Even Kishimine knew that this suspicious teacher is acting as an advisor of the infamous Modern Game Club. In that case, it makes this small room, the clubroom. If I remember it correct, on the second floor there were two audio-visual rooms numbered No.1 and No.2 and, the audio-visual prep-room was near to them.
He surveyed the room again. As per its name, it was supposed to be used as a storeroom for both of the rooms. The size of the room was around half of the normal classroom. Plus, the other half of that was filled with the racks on which various types of club equipments were piled up. Due to all those racks it cannot be seen, but there should be a door which connects the interior of this room with the No.2 Audio-Visual Room.
It was small, but it was definitely not giving any impression of untidiness. It does giving the impression to that of a storeroom but it definitely could be seen that it was sorted out quite efficiently considering the small space.
Plus what was surprising was, on the left and right of the room was 2 set of total 4 T.V.s, including some several other expensive looking video player kinda thing lying here and there.
Suddenly, Sena-sensei after seeing Kishimines eyes proudly started bragging with his chest puffed up.
Fuffuffufu, your eyes went there, huh?! Very well then, do look at it to your heart content! These are our clubs prideful 4 Plasma T.V.s after all.
I-I didnt really need for any sort of permission to see things though. But, still even if its the private academy of rich people, I am surprised that you were able bring such expensive looking things inside the clubroom
Well aside from the new type big LCD TVs, the old versioned Plasma TVs are not that expensive you know?! Well in summers it gets extremely hot but no matter what we needed to have this HD Environment!
He couldnt keep up with what he was saying. In the first place, why the hell there was a need of 4 TVs in a high schools club? he thought.
Well leaving those things aside! As you are here already, you probably have guessed of what youll be made to do right?
Ha!? What do you mean!?
Well just listen and quietly sign these papers here.
Eh!? EHH!?
Sena-sensei took out 1 thin paper out from his pocket and pushed that on Kishimine.
Without any place to run, he was forced this piece of paper.
Just what the hell was it, as Kishimine looked down to confirm, he just couldnt able to believe on his eyes.
Wwhat the fuck is tttttthhhhhhiiiiiiiissssssssss?
It was been a while since he shrieked like that.
What were written on top of that thin paper were basically three words namely,Marriage Registration Form.
Just pure crap.
After kidnapping from the library, he was brought inside the secret room. And now was forced this marriage registration form. And whats more terrifying was, that on the place of Husband name columnSena-sensei Akiowas written.
Wwhat the hell is this? Giving this marriage registration form to me suddenly, are you for real!? NNo being suddenly is not the point here, in the first place, I am still a high schoolNO, thats also not it, to begin with its impossible between two males.. Ah FUCK this shit; basically, I just cant get it!
Lately, in the publishing environment, BL genre is getting a bit of an influence among the people; dont tell me this clubs name, Modern Game Club basically means that.
Hm? Just what are you saying? Marriage registration?
In a very strange way Sena-sensei said that, and then looked down at the paper he pushed at Kishimine.
Aah, my bad, the papers got a little bit mixed-up! This is the marriage registration I prepared to be able to marry up with seiyuu anytime! The one I want your sign is this!
As usual saying hard to understand things, he now passed the separate piece of paper than that Marriage Registration Form to Kishimine.
On that document as well, as expected 3 words were written.
ClubRegistration Form?
And then suddenly door slammed opened from behind.
It was hopeless, Sena-sensei. There are no new students to be seen anywhere?
As he turned around reflexively on the familiar voice, there he saw the figure of a familiar female student.
Hm? You areIve seen you before didnt I?
I-If I remember it right, you are from the Student Councils
His thinking process got more disordered. Its because the one standing there in front of him was everyones ideal Tendou Student Council President.
In an instant, his heart-rate unusually spiked up. And he unintentionally got fascinated by her. No matter how many times he came in contact with her, he just didnt saw anyone more beautiful than she was, not even in the T.V.
On the other hand, he thought what a person such as her is doing at a place like this.
But, that question too was soon cleared up, as he recalled the other days club introduction. It appears that she, the Student Council President is a sole member of the Modern Game Club and whats more she is its Club President.
Ooh. You sure came back at a nice timing! Look at this Tendou-kun! Ive secured us a new club member! Hes Kishimine Kengo-kun from the senior year, same as you.
Tendous face, got overflowed with delight.
So youve finally found it? That sure is a very good news! Welcome to our Club then. And now that I think back youre the guy who I met in the library yesterday arent you? There seems to a somewhat of a fate meeting you here again like this, isnt it?
YYeah
Fate among usjust those words, getting to hear from a beautiful person such as Tendou Student Council President, started to make him blush.
Wai, No, No, Just hold a second there! Just whats with this new member thing? Why its suddenly turn out to be me joining the club?!
Is there really a need of an explanation there?! Today is the start of a club hunt, and you being an independent student came to our club because of that, and that aside arent you the one who said that you want to marry a seiyuu?
I-Is that true!?
Before even Kishimine could protest, Tendou started seeing him with somewhat of a pitiful eyes.
That sure surprised me. To think there was another one who shared same interest such as Sena-sensei Well yeseveryone has their own preferences but
Wai just wait a second there! I never said something like that! In the first place, I dont remember coming here on my accord, and arent sensei you are the one who gone as far to kidnap me to bring me here?!
Wwhat was that?
President Tendou started glaring at Sena-sensei with scornful eyes.
Sena-sensei, Is it really true? Did you really bring him here with that method?
The use of words was definitely polite but, the expression was stabbing.
As if he knew that he couldnt escape, Sena-sensei averted his eyes and started correcting his glasses,
No, well, just calm down now! And I also want Kishimine-kun to listen to this first, there was a reason behind my action! As you also know today is the start of club recruit right? But, for some unfathomable reason, there was not even a single person who came here for a tour! Plus there is not even a single male member in this club yet, which is quite fatal in its own. So there, I took a round around the school, and found a free looking you sitting doing nothing in the library, and thus ended up inviting you to the club!
That doesnt even count as an explanation! Its totally absurd plus, its not like I was doing nothing at all
Quiet down and just honestly admit it. Even you knew very well that it will turn out to be something like this in the end! And If you come here nonchalantly without making any kind of fuss then, you possessed some sort of interest from before as well, didnt you!?
Just what kind of host-like crap you are saying to deceive a student?! From the start, I didnt have any interest in the clubs!
You sure dont know when to give up do you!? Well fine then, in any case this room is soundproof, so no matter if you cry or shout, no one will come for help! And you dont have a place to run as well now or do you?!
Wai Just what do you think on doing! Ah
For some reason exit was blocked by the Sena-sensei, and he was driven into the corner of the room.
Sensei, stop doing things that will cause misunderstandings!
At that moment when Kishimine finally started feeling danger, Tendou mercilessly hit Sena-senseis head.
Shit, it hurts! Damn Ive never seen any student who hits a teacher like that!
Then at least do something worthy to be called as a teacher first. In any case, as long as you get involve with the situation it gets more puzzled, so stay out for a bit.
Saying that severely to him, she turned around and looked at Kishimine.
It was Kishimine-kun, right?
YYes.
As usual as she looked at him, he lost his calmness from before.
I was really sorry about that. I somewhat understand the whole situation. Not only he brought you here suddenly, youre also forced to fill the club membership form, thinking like that, its natural to be perplexed.
No, well, as long you understand.
Involuntarily Kishimine sighed in relief, as expected, though she was attached to a club like this; she is a decent human being by nature. This moment she appeared as some goddess to him.
But, as you are already here, if its good with you, how about continuing the tour for a little bit more? As its also true that we are in a severe need of a new member.
Yes
Kishimine, was bad at socialising. Maybe its because of that, he has a character where he just couldnt able to quick reply if he was asked for a request upfront. He was just afraid to make the person sad by refusing honestly. You are a type who will never be able to escape, if caught in a Catch Salewere the words of the previous homeroom teacher Yamashiro-sensei.
So of course, he just couldnt able to decline the upfront request of a beautiful lady such as Tendou.
If its along the lines of observation But, seriously what do you do in this club? As Modern Game Club is a name Ive never heard of before.
Very well, let me explain then!
The one who started speaking in a meaningless loud voice was none other than Sena-sensei.
I asked to the President Tendou thoughhe thought but, it was something he just couldnt say it aloud.
If one has to explain about what our Modern Game Club in few words then that will be, its a club where we play games.
GGames!?
It felt a bit surprising but, after thinking for a while he somehow understood.
Those 4 huge T.V.s in this club together with these other scattered equipments. These would be probably Gaming Consoles. Kishimine was unaware of Games, but he at least saw it in News and T.V. Commercials.
Theres no need to guess as everything is quite clear but still confirming, by Games you mean Video Games right?
Oh! Well Of course.
I am sorry, as expected I will allow myself to head back.
As he hurriedly stood up to head back, in that moment the figure of 2 blocked his path
Wait there! Just explain me the reason to leave, after hearing that! Speaking of games, they are one of the key industries of japan, and it also considered as a No.1 amusement in the whole world as well you know?!
Thats right. And youll be able to play those games in the school club that too together with the school authorization. It doesnt sound like a bad deal for you as well, right?
Well excluding Sena-sensei, even Tendou too unanimously started to stop him.
No, well.its because I, hate games.
Wawhaattt!?
The two of them together released a surprise looking voice.
You hate amusing things you say?! Why the hell!? Explain the reason to me!
Its hard to even believe, but its not that you are basing it on some weird information right? Like if you play games, youll become violent and such, or become game-addict or so on, because I think you are atleast not one of those heretics who believe such sham like things whose motive is to just confuse the mind of people.
As Tendous face who asked the question was relatively serious, Kishimine had no other choice but to answer it honestly.
No, not at all. Its not because of something like that. Even in books there are sometimes numerous amount of violent scenes but, I dont remember being violent after reading them, and I never heard or seen something like a Game-addict before. Its just, I love reading. Thats why I dont want to do anything which will decrease my time of reading.
That was definitely not a lie. Its because everyone started ignoring books because of gamesa childish reason was also included in there, but he just couldnt say it aloud.
I see. Well now that I think of it, you sure were engrossed in the book yesterday in the library.
Well, certainly, I agree and admit that books too are a very magnificent media to learn and experience things! But, having said that, there is no need to see the other culture with the cruel eyes is it?! Just so you know right now in Japan, NO, in the whole world record breaking Game Boom is taking place! So one must have no choice left but to ride on this Big Wave!
Tendou somehow seemed to consent with Kishimine, but there was no sign of Sena-sensei to be giving up.
I dont understand it quite well but, is it really that amazing? Well, I do know that everyone plays it but stillits just a game isnt it?
Its just a game, even so its a game!I see. It seems you really dont know much about it? Well then let me explain it to you in detail. Everything started 10 years ago with a certain policy!
I havent particularly asked for any explanation though
Kishimine got fed up with the Sena-sensei forceful explanations in the middle but, Tendou tapped his shoulder.
You maybe shouldve realised it by now but, Sena-sensei loves to explain about things. So if you could would you mind listening to him? Because that too will connect with the reason of why this club was built.
Ookay
Well certainly, when Sena-sensei starts explaining things with such liveliness then, the atmosphere sure becomes something in which one just couldnt say No, I dont want to listen anymore.
And thus Sena-sensei just like a professional storyteller while mixing in the gestures of his hands and arms in exaggeration, and spreading his white lab coat started the explanation.
Year 1999! At that times coalition of both Liberal Party and Komeito[3-C],
putting excitation of the personal consumption as an aim, and using children and old people as a base target tried distributing Region Promotion tickets as a propaganda! But, after wasting the money meaninglessly, and in the end getting affected by the purchase cost of living necessities got surrounded by the rumours of them being the connection with the continuous excitation of the consumption. The concerns and rumours like that were firmly rooted thoroughly, and then that policy itself got abolished and driven away. But having said that, the financial stimulation factor was very much needed in the economy, and there as a stand in what used as propaganda then was Culture Promotion ticket!
I see
Kishimine too somewhat knew about that state of affairs.
Culture Promotion ticket. In short, the gift tickets used in Stationary Sports Goods Toys Books Audio and Video Media, Art Museum and Movie Theatre. The ones which are even in the purse of Kishimine at the moment. In the country, the unused gift tickets which are not used in the daily necessities are used as provisions and, then with that the cultural industries promotion value is measured within the country.
From the start, the Japanese culture, is receiving different type of value in the world! In that cultural industry, injecting the funds named culture promotion tickets, and then sending them under development, which then increases the export rate, In other words it improved the business conditions drastically! The thing which profited the most due to that policy was that times Gaming Industry or so they say. Imagine a large sum of gift tickets, if one had to consider about the high priced children goods, then it should be something around the Games right?!
Well, Yeah.
To Kishimine those vague answers were the best he couldve given.
On the other hand, Sena-senseis verbal tone started to get more and more enthusiastic and started becoming more like that of a politician giving its speech.
And thus the enthusiastic Game Makers started supplying the superior quality games to both inside and outside of the country and, earned large amount of foreign exchange! Automobile or electrical appliances export no matter what, invited the rivalry with the foreign country, and sometime also ended up as a reason of dispute, but there were no such things as obstacles in bringing joy to the worldwide people! From the next time just focus in exporting those games!! Even the politicians, to say something that appeared, and the thing called games were no longer considered as a mere toy, and became something like an existence which was an important factor for living!
Parents are weak on the countrys authorised context. It was also at that time, when Kids suddenly started playing Games, near Kishimine.
And thus the government which noticed the effectiveness of the Culture Promotion tickets, changed the name of the policys to the Childrens Allowance, and even now is under work! Giving the allowance of 5,000 worth of Culture Promotion tickets to the children below 18 years per month, and given the chance to get them into contact with the Culture, and furthermore activating the Cultural industry! Its because, the user just wont buy an uninteresting good after all, and if the funds got invested after it gets passed in the eyes of a user then, the superior quality content will go to the superior corporation, which will even allow the growth of that corporation!
I see
Even Kishimine was getting the allowance every month as a Culture Promotion tickets a.k.a Childrens Allowance.
If the simple money was given as an allowance, insolent parents wasting the money in thePachinko[3-D]etc. will also appear, and its also easy to become a hot ground for criminal like activities to also take place. But if its distributed in a way where only Children can personally use them, it will be nearly impossible to use them for such Activities. Additionally, there will be no cases such as illegally sending money to foreign as well.
As per usual it has a major drawback where it couldnt have used for the student necessities, but even having said that, at least, because of the economic conditions, there was a loophole made where it could be used in the Sports, fine arts, and cultural activity goods because the children benefit greatly from these. If one saved all of his tickets for 1 year, the amount will become 60,000, with which a cheap PC couldve easily been purchased.
Kishimine too thanks to that was able to buy the books he loved to his heart content. Though, because of that, there was no room for more books to enter in his room, and lately because of that he started using the Library exclusively because of that.
As a result, right now a record-breaking Game-Boom is going on, and because of that Japanese Game Battle Championshipnickname JGBC named official Gaming tournament has been organised every week, in which day and night furious battles unfold! Okay, from here I will move the conversation on the details about the foundation of our Modern Game Club.
I am not quite getting the connection between the conversations. Just how are they relevant?
From there I will explain.
Like that, President Tendou took the control. Rather, she interrupted. Maybe perhaps she too was getting bored with the long explanation of Sena-sensei.
Maybe youve also heard of it, about the reason of accepting the enrolment of the boys in this Izunomiya Academy which was supposed to be an all-girls school was, to counter the decrease in the all year students enrolment which was due to the low-child birth rate. But, in this impregnable iron fortress of girls, it was just not that easy to accept boys like that.
Well, certainly. From the girls side, there shouldve been a considerable amount of resistance, isnt it?
But still, even after that question Tendou-san seemed fine and in factembraced his question.
Well, it was quite natural to have reluctance, anyhow as there will be sometime in their life where they will get into touch with an opposite gender anyways. So you can say that it was a great change for the girls. In this situation, the one which was under concern was the boys side.
Ha? You mean, by us?
Thats right. For example, at the moment new male students in each class are limited to 2. Its seems to be quite an intense situation for the boys right? And there were those among the boys who enrolled in this school, there seems to be quite a few ones who were without even getting able to get familiar with the school, requested the transfer.
I can quite understand that.
He got reminded of his only male classmate, Kusakabe. At first after changing the schools he was quite ragged because of the terms with his ex-girlfriend but recently, he is, just sighing like it was nothing at all.
Plus, the surviving boys from the 2 years ago, he saw at yesterdays P.E. class. They too if were given just a chance, wouldve quit this school long time ago for sure.
To begin with Kishimine himself got to transfer in a form of a school exchange with the student of this school. And he was quite certain that the one he got exchanged with was a guy who just couldnt able to bear the pressure of this school.
In short you see, Kishimine-kun! said Sena-sensei. This is not a place where boys belong to! Cause something even like a toilet is limited for them.
Well, true indeed.
In this school which was an all-girls school from the start, there is no way that there would be facilities such as mens toilet installed from the beginning, and right now one has no other choice but to use the 1stFloors Staff Toilet as a last minute rush. And obviously as it was constantly in use by the teachers, they couldntve used it for a long period of time as well.
And there around half year ago, I suggested a proposal to this school! That to make this place school more for boys, and to increase more applicants of boys as well, I want to create a club with the most well-known media on this worldModern Games, in other words a club in which one can play games you see! If one get to play the games with the official recognition of the school then, that will connect to the enrolment of the new male students and, more than that it will be able to create a place for the boys as well. And practically, there are a lot of schools with these kinds of clubs! And the problems regarding the club budgets are resolved with the help of the people who hold the same interests as well!
I too as a Student Council President, fully supported on this idea. And there last year, I together with Sena-sensei helped in the foundation of this Modern Game Club.
Haa, I see
As the reason of the club establishment was quite decent, he couldnt help but feel surprised.
Its been 2 years since this school has started excepting the boys. And if there are also students started coming as a transfer student, then definitely there will occur a need for a place for boys.
Its just, there gush forth a question.
Then why even Tendou-san joined the club? You are also working as a Student Council president right? As you will be quite busy with just that, there really wasnt any particular need for you to be directly attached to the club right?
President Tendous name was famous even among the newly enrolled 1styears. Why that kind of girl is associating herself with this weird teacher and why she is in this strange club? That was the question he had in his mind for quite some time.
However, as that kind of question naturally gushed from his mouth, it induced a change which he himself couldnt have predicted. Tendous, cheeks got flushed red as if she was embarrassed.
T-There is not really any great reason behind it. If there will be no members in the club, Sena-sensei took such Hardships to create then it will look quite inappropriate right? Thats why to match the numbers I just decided to temporarily join the club. Right Sena-sensei, thats the reason isnt it?!
AAah, Yeah, indeed it is!
What she said was quite logical and made sense but, frankly it was quite suspicious. And it just looked as if they were hiding something.
Above all, that usual composed Tendou Student President had her cheeks dyed red.
Ddont tell me
A certain possibility came into his mind.
A unique club where there is only a student and its advisor. And a blushing Tendou. It derives a possibility. Maybe Student Council President Tendou-san, Likes Sena-sensei or something. If he thinks like that, then everything connected. An Ojou-sama schools student council president to be in this club when she had nothing to do with the games and stuff, plus the face of her blushing when asked for the reason of that. Tendous attitude towards Sena-sensei looked relatively strict but, Isnt that also her way of showing affection? He thought.
For Kishimine who held somewhat of an admiration kinda thing towards Tendou, it was quite shocking.
Well basically thats that! And thus our Modern Game Club got established but, after staying for a while new sort of problem started developing!
As if trying to switch the conversation forcibly, Sena-sensei raised his voice.
Kishimine who still wasnt quite recovered from the shock thinking that a beautiful girl like Tendou was out his reach anyways, he cut loose those feelings forcibly. Thats why the change of topic was in fact quite convenient for him.
So, whats that problem? Ah about, no new club members are coming, huh?
Exactly! I dont know the reason but the one who submitted the club recruitment form is just Tendou-kun alone in the past half an year! And to sum up all on that, even though today supposed to be the club recruition day for all 1styears and transferred students, its already been 1 hour but not a single person with an interest to join our came! It is extremely bad. Though this club was created to grant a piece of place for the boys and yet there are basically 0 male members here, well leaving the principal aside, I dont even know what that chairman will say regarding this now!
In this past half year, the reason for not even a single interested member to come, the reason was somewhat quite clear to Kishimine.
If one had to consider the surviving boys in this school, as they too also were from the rich families so without exception they too were quite scared of the surroundings like a puppy. So he just couldnt think of them voluntarily joining this club who had such a pushy, uncool teacher whod go as far as to kidnap a student. And even this Schools Ojou-samas dont seem to have that much interest towards the games, and above all, they too for sure just cant get the idea of getting close to the Sena-sensei.
Isnt it that the reason? Look, at the time of Introduction seminar, didnt you put various types of conditions there? Without doing that you shouldve just normally invited the male students or so I think.
Well of course as a last resort we will try that! But, as you can see our club is small and there is a limit to how much equipment we can put in here. We are not in a situation to really say it, but we are also not in a situation where we can just endlessly recruit the students! We had to for the time being recruit a few people and then operate the club with them!
Well as long as we dont have anyone interested in joining the club, that kind of worry is meaningless though.
With that merciless Tsukkomi of Tendou, he tried to pull himself up and corrected his glasses.
So thats how it is. Since situation was at its worst, I decided that it would be fine as long we get to have only 1 male student inside the club!
thats why you kidnapped the lonely looking guy like me right?
The tone of Kishimine was shrouded with sarcasm but, it doesnt seem that it even touch the teacher called Sena-sensei.
Exactly, Kishimine-kun! So just like that, you are a member of our club now! And while you are at it why not together just welcome a Seiyuu in your life as well?! You heard me right?, you understood right?, if you understood then nod a bit you fool!
Sena-senseis hands stretched forward and grabbed Kishimines head and just like that forcibly made him to nod.
Yes done! Alright! The agreement has been made! And one comrade secured!
Wai, No way, geez how coercive! In the first place, from your talks, you guys want someone who will be an immediate fire power for the club right? Then its not a place for someone like me who not even touched a game before!
Even I was thinking like that recently but, but we are not in a position right now to have demands like that! In any case, if our club achieves at getting just a single male member then, well be able to shut-up the chairman!
Well just calm down a bit, Sensei.
Just as usual Tendou stopped Sena-sensei.
We just cant make him join the club without his own intentions can we? And even if we do, we dont know what the chairman will say if he found out about it.
I understand that butso what do you plan on doing then!? Having Zero new members is out of the question just so you may know!
I know, soKishimine-kun. How about we try playing a game there?
Eh?
To this unexpected proposal, he couldnt able to give an instant reply.
I dont have a tendency to speak about someones way of thinking. If you say you like books, then that is good in it itself and I dont have any problem with that but, there is also a saying in this world that goes Dont judge a book by its cover. Just suppose that there exists a book which is quite infamous for being bad, but as long you have a little bit of interest towards it, youll read it right? And quite unexpectedly, you may find it interesting as well. The same thing goes for me. I want to see your skills with these eyes. So Im making a selfish request here so wont you just give a little bit of your time and try it?
If someone told you that as you looked free and then kidnaps you, surely youll get angry and leave immediately right?
But, if someone politely requested him, he just couldnt flat out refuse them.
Plus leaving Tendou aside, Sena-sensei doesnt look like a person who will bulge when he decide on something. And so even if he refused right now, he just couldnt think of him giving up soon.
I understand, but only for a little while okay? But, if there you get to know how bad I am, please give up on me.
Ah, that would be enough. Thank You, Kishimine.
He felt pity at himself to get unintentionally flurried over that bright smile of Tendou. Even though he knew that this person might be in love with Sena-sensei.
Part 2
Kishimine was made to sit on a chair prepared infront of the large Plasma T.V.
And in front of him, Sena-sensei getting extremely happily was doing some preparations on some kind of big black machine.
Thats the gaming console, right?
Suddenly he asked the question.
Sena-sensei then, as if talking about himself, puffed his chest out and said.
Youve at least heard of one before right? This is a Play Station 3, in short PS3. Its Japans proudest high-performance machine and, its also the human histories finest gaming console you know!
I see
Even though he said the finest, just what and which part is the finest he just didnt get it.
So Sensei, have you decided on the game yet?
Ah, well of course! ItsUncharted The Golden Dagger and the Lost Fleet[3-E]!
Uncharted, huh? Well its definitely not a bad choice to pick that as to introduce someone with new-gen games.
I dont understand a bit what you guys are talking about so basically its a famous game right?
Well indeed it is. At any rate, its a super-epic game which sold more than four million copies in the world after all.
Ffour million copies?!
As one would expect he was speechless. Four million
