Chapter 29 - Two

I was thinking about convenience.

I have bad luck.

I know it because it's me.

Something that I've painfully realized throughout my life.

I never suddenly awaken in a life-threatening situation, nor have I ever collided with a beautiful girl at a street corner.

This world is abnormal.

"Anything goes," they say.

Regardless of the galgame universe, abnormal situations tend to occur in all works.

For example, the fact that I came to this world.

For example, the protagonist becoming the owner of a harem mansion.

"And for some reason, I am a little off from the main story."

As a great detective, I suddenly wondered why I couldn't move into the dormitory.

I was supposed to be moving into the dormitory, that was the setup.

And I was supposed to make two friends, Nikubu and Garino.

However, for some strange reason, due to not submitting the necessary documents in advance, I couldn't move into the dormitory.

"Why is that?" Amachi wondered

Why couldn't I submit them?

When I think about it, isn't it strange?

At that time, I thought that government work was crap.

But it doesn't make sense.

The difference between "cannot" and "have not been able to" is in the nuance of the words, but it makes a big difference.

In the first place, from the school's point of view, it should have been unclear whether I would pass the transfer exam and be able to enroll.

So why couldn't I move into the dormitory?

The cause and effect are the wrong way around.

It's as if they had already laid the groundwork for me not being able to move into the dormitory, assuming that I would be able to enroll.

In other words,

A strange feeling of being forcibly separated from the main characters and environment of the story, delaying my entry into the main storyline.

A feeling of being made to walk along this path by some kind of third-party intervention.

As "The Great Detective Me," I couldn't solve this mystery.

"It's a conspiracy." amachi thought

Let's just say that.

If that's the case, then don't create a system that accepts student transfers.

It would be more convincing to say that there were no vacancies in the dormitory.

It's as if someone is interfering with my intervention in the future, or conversely, there is someone supporting me.

"I don't understand the purpose," amachi think in the mind.

"I might lose the ability to decipher the story," he thought to himself.

"This is not good," amachi muttered.

"It could just be my own assumption," amachi pondered.

"Let's stop thinking about it," amachi suggested.

"This world is a gal game dimension," amachi remarked.

"If you nitpick, you lose," amachi warned.

I entered the school grounds and drove for about 2-3 minutes to Ms. Moridoru's house.

I thought I might have misunderstood the existence of Shinrin Moridoru, but then again, maybe not.

As we continued deeper into the forest, away from the school headquarters, I became more and more anxious.

Although there were tire tracks, I began to think I might have missed the path as we traveled down an unmarked road.

Perhaps because my expectations had been exceeded.

The apartment where she lived could not be called an apartment.

Since she had called it a former janitor's room, I had imagined a relatively decent building and thought it was close to the school.

This world of Mega Shuva is set in the same 21st century as the previous world.

It is a world that has developed to some extent, with smartphones and the internet.

Ms. Moridoru's home was like traveling back 200 or 300 years in time.

It was the only place where a medieval world existed.

It was a small hut. Or rather, it was close to being a storage shed or abandoned building.

It was a wooden hut.

It's not that a hut is a bad thing.

Well, it's more of a problem of contrast. If you see a mountain hut in the mountains, you don't think anything of it.

But when you see a hut from hundreds of years ago right next to a modern house, you just think "oh, okay".

Moreover, this forest seems to be completely cut off from modern civilization.

There is no electricity and no running water.

Light is provided by candles or lanterns. Drinking water and washing are done by drawing from a well.

"Um... what about charging my smartphone?"

Electricity is essential for civilized people.

"Oh, you can do that in the school library or classrooms."

Ms. Moridoru said it nonchalantly.

"Is that so..."

Decorations were put up everywhere as if to welcome me, and I felt a strange sense of emotion. I didn't feel like complaining because it seemed wrong.

"What about the bath and toilet...?" amachi thought

I couldn't help but ask, although I already had an idea of what to expect.

"Oh, about that. Ta-da! It's a Goemon bath. And the toilet is over there!" Ms. Moridoru say

A drum can Goemon bath and a portable toilet like the ones you see on construction sites were located right behind the house.

"I see..."

I was afraid I'd become a robot who could only say "I see" due to the culture shock.

"Well then, let's have a small welcome party!" Ms. Moridoru say

"Yes, let's!" amachi reply

It seemed that "yes, let's" had been added to my vocabulary.

The welcome party was modestly held.

At first, I thought "this is over," but as time passed, it felt like I was camping and I found myself thinking "this kind of lifestyle isn't so bad."

After all, having a hideout in the forest is crucial for the Phantom Plan.

It's a good idea if you think about it.

You might not be able to operate in the dormitory life.

It's sure to reveal your true colors.

The beginning was good.

When Ms. Moridoru had finished one can of beer, it was normal.

She joked, "Hey Amachi-kun, do you want to take a bath together?" or "Do you want to sleep together?" with a red face, and I could still talk to her.

He started making strange remarks, but we could still communicate.

After having some food and drinks, I felt the need to use the restroom and went there.

As I returned, I noticed that there were five or six empty cans around Ms. Moridoru.

I couldn't believe my eyes. It had only been a few minutes.

I don't drink at all because I can't handle it, but even my colleague who was a heavy drinker in my previous life couldn't drink at this speed.

After that, things got worse.

She suddenly burst into tears, then started laughing loudly and shouting, and then suddenly got angry and tried to attack.

She had been so kind to me.

She wasn't a bad person, but his drinking habit was just too much.

I hesitated.

I didn't have any interest in hitting women.

I wanted to handle it peacefully.

But I had to do something. I dealt with him, lightly.

It was too easy.

I carried Ms. Moridoru, who had lost consciousness from my punch, to a small cabin or room and covered him with a blanket.

That's where we are now.

The sun will be rising soon.

The morning birds are chirping.

"Oh yeah, I haven't built my base yet." amachi thought

I had completely forgotten.

I let out a huge sigh and moved the luggage that seemed to be my room to what I assumed was my location outside.

"Should I make it...?" amachi thought

This is a total all-nighter. It's the worst.

Tomorrow is the entrance ceremony.

I won't attend, but I'll have to go to school the day after tomorrow.

I wanted to do a little training, but it might not be possible.

"Why the hell do I have to take care of a drunk when I'm supposed to be starting the main story already?" amachi thought

I wanted to move into the dorm.

There are multiple dorms, and there are various characters there. I wanted to meet them.

There might have been someone there who could have become a friend.

Well, I know roughly about them from the setting, but unfortunately, I can't move into the dorm.

I might end up in this sad fate with this drunk.

"Damn it. Can't I collect the valuable intermission events that I don't know about?" amachi thought

There are several intermission events that occur when you move into the dorm.

It was frustrating not being able to see them.

I had to regain my focus.

"For now, I have to do something about this." amachi thought

I decided to hide all the beers that were bought in bulk.

I couldn't throw away something that I could still eat or drink. I guess I'm frugal.

It can be said that I couldn't take away the break for working adults.

I have come to understand when my drinking habits become bad.

For now, let's make a promise to only have one beer per day.

I'll manage these beers myself.

"Well, who am I to say that?" amachi though

Even I didn't really understand what I was doing.

"Why am I even doing this?" amachi though

I couldn't help but mutter to myself.
