I Became the Academy’s Pink Airhead

I went to the front hill with Alvit and gave an intense monologue that seemed like a death flag. But fate couldn’t take my life.

As expected, pink airheads are invincible.

The essence of a girl with pink hair is being a comedy character.

I’m a sturdy comedy character☆

In any manga, comedy characters never die!

Ufufu☆ Removing such an erotic-bodied pink airhead from the narrative would be a huge loss for the game company too—☆ I’ll specially wear a slingshot or bunny girl outfit, so prepare to have your wallet drained♪

…

What was I thinking just now?

These days, strange thoughts burst out like a flood whenever I space out a little.

Anyway, what I said to Alvit wasn’t meant only with that intention.

Though it ended up sounding like the last words before the final battle, they weren’t words I left thinking I would die.

I just wanted to pass on the kind words and memories I heard from Senior Frida.

‘Above all, she’s the junior I’ve known the longest.’

Isn’t it good to pass down good words through generations?

Like that, without riding Red Hare, I instantly returned to school with [Bifrost].

“Ah, it’s about time for me to go back.”

“It’s tight~☆ Should I tell Hilde to let you rest a bit today? If I say I want to have dinner with my juniors…”

Hearing those words, Alvit made a face of disgust.

“Whaaat…? If Senior says that, my position really becomes weird… Since I can handle it, please really don’t do that.”

“Ahaha—☆ If it’s tough you should rest~ You’re close with Bell and Sieglinde anyway, why be so mindful—☆”

“We should separate public and private. I’m just an apprentice after all. I can’t just rest because I’m close with the seniors. That would push back Hil… Senior Hilde’s schedule that much.”

Alvit spoke solemnly as if making a vow, with one hand on her chest. If this were a manga, a sparkle☆ sound effect would probably appear above her head.

This kid.

She’s so diligent.

‘Though part of her diligence is from being driven by a sense of duty, her foundation is endlessly J…’

Alvit was preparing to go receive the handover diligently without any intention of slacking off. So I said I would take her there directly with [Bifrost].

“…Well, that much is… Thank you. That ability is convenient.”

Alvit thanked me and went into her room.

Taking that opportunity, I checked on the other juniors with pink airhead vision.

“Kyop—☆”

Kara, Rota and Peepeep were still in the midst of searching the foggy plains. I could clearly see the figures of the kids walking around wearily.

‘The rider’s flag really has to be found by luck…’

Just like how [Golden Witch]’s grimoire suddenly appeared, I thought [Rider of Rebellion]’s flagpole might just appear suddenly too.

‘I did disguise the hints I got in the game as oracles and had Urd relay them instead…’

But it seemed to be a complete bust today too.

I should take Alvit there, then go pick up the others from the foggy plains.

But…

There was something I had to do before that.

I wrapped up the broken down Red Hare in a waterproof tarp so it wouldn’t rust further, and placed it in a corner of the storage room.

Creak…

Even though I set it down as gently as a feather, the parts shook and made an uneasy sound. Though it was just a bicycle, it really made a sound like a dying horse.

“…”

Wrapped in a white waterproof tarp, Red Hare placed sadly in a dark corner of the storage room.

It looked like a corpse laid out in a funeral home.

So I stood there blankly in the storage room filled with school supplies.

“…”

I glanced around the storage room.

Many of the things I had collected since my first year were gone.

‘With 4 people living together, consumption was faster than expected.’

Instead, there were more things the juniors had brought from dungeon gates or other schools.

Old books Rota brought and Kara’s useless inventions filled the space. Alvit’s personally maintained practice weapons were a bonus.

Now the only thing here that could be said to have been ‘filled by me’ was Red Hare wrapped in the white waterproof tarp.

That’s why that white color stood out so much.

‘If I just leave Red Hare here, when the juniors become 2nd… 3rd years, there won’t be enough storage space.’

Maybe…

Lots of new students might come after the main story of . They’ll enroll noisily chasing after cool seniors.

To them, this Red Hare is a meaningless burden.

“…”

Looking at Red Hare placed there sadly, I made a decision.

‘Let’s take it with me when I graduate.’

If I forcibly repaired it and kept riding it, it might completely shatter in the battles to come.

It would be safer to just leave it here quietly until graduation.

‘Let’s repair it with new parts when we get out.’

Even if I completely replace everything,

I’ll restore it to this form as much as possible.

‘Let’s make new memories riding together.’

I wanted to ride around with Hilde, taking lots of walks and trips.

‘Until then… rest for a while.’

You did well.

“…”

I closed the storage room door.

And returned to the dormitory.

“I’m ready, Senior.”

“Okay♪”

I held the hand of Alvit who came out of the room wearing a backpack. She must have applied hand cream just now, as it felt moist.

“Are you ready, Al?”

“Huh?”

“Of course, Cl☆”

“…Senior’s random words are starting to feel normal.”

“Are you ready, Al?”

“…”

“Are you ready, Al?”

“O-Of course, Cl☆”

“Ahaha—☆ When you get there, make sure to naturally call her Senior Hilde~ She’s more sensitive than she looks, so she’ll care about it—☆”

“I-I’ll try my best…”

Alvit lost consciousness from the pink airhead and Hilde’s attack on both sides.

Whoosh—!

A rainbow spiral instantly enveloped us.

I dropped Alvit off in front of the main entrance of the building.

“I’ll be going then.”

“Okay♪ See you later~”

I turned to leave right away. All my friends at the were busy lately, so I didn’t want to go bother them.

“…”

I turned my head before leaving. And I looked at the barrier beyond the building and the World Tree towering beyond that.

‘Strangely, spatial movement doesn’t work at all near the World Tree… Is this some kind of balance patch?’

Or it could be an unimplemented map.

That place alone felt oddly jumbled spatially.

It gave a strong sense of dissonance, like a few pages in the middle of a comic book being mixed up in various languages.

‘Maybe Eir should burn it once to make it come to its senses.’

Anyway, it was fortunate there was no need to worry about the prophet suddenly teleporting to drop a poop bomb on top of the World Tree. There’s no way to deal with it if it goes that far.

Even Just Big Tree had the talent to roll.

“…”

So what.

It’s usually disgustingly useless.

Wuu, what a lustful tree that eats dragons.

‘Why does Anna worship this as a god?’

It was still an incomprehensible cult-like rural farming culture.

I moved my feet again, and checked on the juniors performing the search quest with [Find Pink Pink Vision☆].

They looked tired as expected.

Their motivation had hit rock bottom and they were hanging their heads.

‘We should stop here for today.’

The pink airhead bullet taxi is coming.

“Kyop—☆”

Whoosh—!

A rainbow spiral enveloped my body.

In the blink of an eye, I traversed 100 kilometers.

‘This is really cheating.’

The damp foggy wind of the plains brushed my cheeks. In front of me were Kara, Rota and Peepeep sitting with tired expressions.

“Ta-da—☆ Pink airhead makes a dog-like entrance—!”

“Haah… Senior comrade, today’s harvest was a bust too.”

“Oh dear. Oh dear—☆”

Kara was sitting slumped on top of dozens of flagpoles piled up like firewood. Rota was lying down leaning against the giant chick’s body.

“I want to go rest soon…”

“Peep— The thick fog makes one feel strangely drained.”

Twitch—

Rota’s two cat ears twitched in displeasure.

“Peepeep, you didn’t do anything though.”

“Peep! Can nothing be done about that undignified nickname? This one has the name [Nameless Hawk] – avatar of the beast god, peep.”

“You peep peep all day, so what else would you be but Peepeep? And how is ‘nameless’ a name? That’s such a strange thing to say.”

Peepeep made a gloomy expression. Though it was a chick, strangely its expression was clearly visible.

“Peep… Lady Witch is so cruel.”

“Hmph. I’m not quite at the level to be called a witch yet.”

“Peep— What is one who inherits the magic of [Golden Witch] if not a witch?”

“Shaaaa—! It’s a matter of pride! At least until I can do exactly what I swore to Lady Witch, I won’t call myself a ‘witch’!!”

Rota scratched her head and stomped her feet.

“Ugh…! If I could just research fairy tale magic a bit more, I’m sure I could gather clues to connect everyone’s ether skills…! If only I could rise to [Unique Ether] at least…!”

“Do your best. Peep.”

I had no choice but to be considerate.

‘In the game it seemed to just work somehow…’

Since both Urd and I only had indirect experience, we got stuck like this on parts that required actual sensory experience.

Consideration…

Peepeep had been clicking its beak for a while when it suddenly stiffened. Then it wrapped its wings around its belly and made a flustered expression.

Gurgle—

“Urp…?! Ugh… My, my stomach…?! Peeep—!”

“Hm?”

“The, the goddess seems to be knocking on my stomach… Peep.”

“Lady Urd…?”

“Peep, peeep—! Saintess!! Qu-quickly answer the goddess’s call! I feel like lunch is about to come back up—!”

Peepeep opened its mouth wide with an urgent expression.

Since Kara and Rota said they would rest until this issue was resolved, I stretched out both hands and dived right into its mouth.

Gulp—

I moved my waist and hips as much as possible to pass through the narrow passage. It was a smooth movement like a snake.

‘This is disgusting.’

Honestly, I still wasn’t used to this slippery warm sensation. But it was better than getting stuck halfway like before.

‘Still disgusting though.’

The universe space suddenly spread out.

I landed flexibly through the narrow hole.

Chomp☆

“Pink airhead makes a dog-like entrance—☆”

“Huh…?”

There was Urd, standing on a chair and gently scratching a mysterious pink wall that had appeared in midair. She looked at me with surprised eyes.

I grinned and greeted her warmly seeing that expression.

“Oh my—☆ Why make such a face at a friend you haven’t seen in a while—☆”

“Clara, you…?”

“Hm? What’s wrong? Is it surprising to see two such cute pink airheads—☆”

“…”

Urd was making a strange expression.

Pity and shock. It was like the expression of a daughter who witnessed her father coming out of his room wearing a women’s ballet outfit.

“…”

“…”

I felt something was off.

Oh.

Come to think of it.

‘Why isn’t the pretty filter coming off?’

* * *

Astrid appeared again on the plains, wrapped in yellow fog. And pulling out a giant yellow greatsword from the fog, she shouted:

“Ho~ Hoho—! You! Black Knight! This noble lady of the night taught you about the virtue of mercy—!”

“…Hiss.”

There was a black armored figure about to swing a black greatsword. What the greatsword was pointing at was a vague figure of students from various schools.

-Where… is this…?

-I was definitely in the workshop…

Whether ghosts.

Or illusions.

Forms so vague they couldn’t even be distinguished.

But Helina in black armor was resolute. A voice leaked out from between the black helmet:

“Hiss… They are merely remnants arising from the abyss. They could be dangerous if they meet those who live in the light.”

Astrid’s red eyes were tinged with pity.

“…They didn’t come here of their own will either. Just send them back into the fog.”

“Hiss… That doesn’t matter. Once we’ve seen spiritual phenomena rising from the ground, we eliminate them definitively. That is the mission of us black knights.”

“Ho~ Hoho!! Then, this noble lady must teach you mercy once again!!”

Somewhere in the foggy plains, yellow and black greatswords clashed once more.
