Chereads / The Irregular Elite (Remake) / Chapter 17 - You Too?

Chapter 17 - You Too?

Miss Mito gave us a ride to my apartment.

She saw us off after we arrived. I could've at least given her some tea.

We headed inside and went into my apartment. For some reason, Shiina came with us.

I showed her around my apartment room. It was too big for just one person, so we could put a futon on the floor and just sleep there.

Yeah, that sounds nice doesn't it.

Good thing I have those at the closet.

"We're going to sleep together?"

"Yeah, is that not okay with you?"

"N-no, it's more than okay!"

Heeh, she wanted this from the start huh?

Well, it's fine really. It's not like I'll plan on doing something perverted to her.

Especially when my girlfriend is going to sleep with us as well.

---

I was sitting beside Hina on the table while waiting for Nana to finish cooking.

Facing me on the other side of the table was Shiina.

I should ask her why she came with us.

I mean it's already this late.

"So, Shiina why did you-"

"I'm going to sleep here."

"I see… Eh?"

What does she mean sleep here?

If it's only for today that's fine.

It is only for today, right?

"Just for today right?"

"No. I'll live here with you."

Ah, this awkward silence.

What the hell is happening?

"What brings you to that decision?"

"Well, you see. Since I was seen with you when we came into the classroom, people will think that we are acquaintances. Due to that, since you attacked Luke and even nullified our Unique skill, they will press this matter on me when I get home. Hence my decision to live here."

"Um, I think you're overthinking it Shiina."

"Oh, I'm not overthinking it Hina. My family is like that."

She sure has it hard huh.

I want to help her, but even so, where would she sleep?

I need to find a way…oh wait.

"Shiina, can you use a normal [Fireball]?"

"Huh? Yeah, why?"

"I'll learn the skill and improve it."

"Okay? But I can't teach it though…"

That is true isn't it.

I hear that teaching skills is really difficult.

Well, I don't need to be taught though.

"Just hit me."

"Eh? What do you mean hit you?"

"Hit me with the [Fireball] skill."

"Um, sure. [Fireball]."

Shiina threw a [Fireball] the size of a tennis ball at me.

I used my Over Gear to catch it so I wouldn't get burnt and so that I wouldn't accidentally nullify it.

>Skill[Fireball]acquired.

Alright, I got it.

I'll train this skill and also my cursed hand.

"I got it."

"Heeh, you're lucky you can get skills just like that."

"It's like cheating huh?"

After a while, Nana brought in the food she cooked.

We ate the food while chatting.

Well, I wasn't part of the chatting though.

I was too focused on what to do with the new skill I got.

While thinking, my surroundings suddenly became quiet.

I looked at the girls only to see them looking directly at me.

It was pretty uncomfortable.

"What is it?"

"We were just thinking what kind of child you'll have."

"Heeh, isn't it too early to be talking about that?"

"How old are you now anyway?"

"16. How about you Nana?"

"16 as well. These two as well."

Geez, I feel like an idiot for not even knowing the age of my girlfriend.

That and not knowing the age of my friends as well.

Haah, I really am an idiot.

---

After putting down the futon, I told them that I was going out for a while and that they should go to sleep first.

I went to a park nearby the apartment. It was pretty much empty.

Well, at least the outer part is.

I could hear a couple doing it a few ways from here. Please stop doing that here.

"Alright, this should be good."

I used the [Fireball] to make a ball of flames the size of a beach ball. I compressed the flames until it was now only the size of a marble. The flames were now blue.

>Skill[Blue Flames]acquired.

Good, I can now make blue [Fireballs].

Next was my [Nullification].

"I could just nullify this thing right."

I nullified the ball of flames at my hand. It disappeared in an instant.

Okay, looks like I have control.

Although, I think I'll accidentally nullify something when I'm not careful.

It isn't just limited to my hands after all. It's from the elbow down.

"The edges of my fingers are pitch black though. I should wear a glove so that my hand wouldn't look out of the ordinary."

I then trained my [Flash].

While running and dashing all over the place, I hopped and dashed on the air. I felt like I was stepping on something.

>Skill[Air Walk]acquired.

Eh? [Air Walk]?

I hopped once more and activated the skill.

It was like I was stepping on a platform made from condensed air.

This could be really useful.

I decided to train it.

I ended up training for three hours. It was already 11 pm.

I ran back home using [Air Walk].

When I arrived at the front door, I could hear them talking. I decided not to eavesdrop and just knocked.

"Are you three doing something?"

"We were just chatting a bit. So, how was the training?"

"It went well. I even got a new skill."

Well, I got two new skills.

I told them that I was going to take a bath since I was sweaty. Of course I already prepared my clothes beforehand.

I went into the bathroom and readied the bathtub. I then splashed myself with water and washed myself with soap. Sure is troublesome washing my back.

After that, I went into the bathtub and soaked myself.

So much has happened today. Nana, whom I met only three day ago, became my girlfriend.

I became cursed. I got a lot of new skills.

I almost killed someone because of my irrational thinking.

I should fix that problem actually. Although, that could wait. I just want peace for now.
