How kind of a person, to lend me a refrigerator for free.
As expected, the story of the game has nothing to do with reality.
To think that such a kind person would be made a strict fundamentalist in extreme FM, do you think I would believe anything the official says?
Normally, I would only have intended to share food, but now it’s at a level that cannot be repaid with just that.
I must repay this kindness later.
“Yum.”
“Does it… taste good?”
“Ah, yes. Compared to what I had before, um… it’s quite nice.”
I don’t know why she’s looking at me with a shocked expression, but the taste of the curry is certainly not bad.
Compared to the grotesque mess of food I threw into my room in my past life… well, this is gourmet.
Moreover, the grass freshly picked from the front yard has a nice texture as it crunches.
Munch munch.
“Oh… I see.”
Now her face looked like that of a cat in distress, beyond shock.
“Ah, thank you for lending it to me.”
So now my schedule included visiting Noah’s house to eat lunch in the morning.
By the way, as I was leaving Noah’s house, I heard a voice shouting as if someone had forgotten something.
.

The next day.
I open a container of curry porridge that I had prepared and brought from Noah’s house the day before.
“…Is it a bit spoiled?”
It seems that something sour has been added, but it’s not even summer yet, so I believe it wouldn’t have spoiled in just one day and eat it anyway.
Since it’s porridge, it fills me up faster than just rice.
It’s natural that it would vanish quickly later on, but being able to save on both satisfaction and food costs with a small price and portion is such a fortunate thing.
Still, I want to eat a meal cooked by a chef someday.
“I hope that can happen…”
After finishing breakfast, I put a few bags of chocolate I made before bed into my bag and head to the academy.
When I went to buy a bag, it was awfully expensive, so I bought the cheapest one I could find at a discount store, but it’s not bad.
“It’s a bit loose.”
My shoulders are narrow, so the bag strap keeps sliding off, but as I hold it tight and arrive at the main gate, Noah and another student I had seen last time were there today too.
In reality, I should be much older than those students, but maybe because my view is lowered, I felt the sweat dripping from my hands.
‘How will I get through today…?’
Standing in front of the main gate, the female student slowly looks into my bag.
“You brought chocolate again today? Didn’t you bring a lot last time?”
“Ah… I’m a bit fond of chocolate.”
“Really? Well, as long as it’s not something like alcohol.”
“Right…?”
I felt Noah’s gaze on me, but as I awkwardly held onto my bag tightly, she sighed softly and looked away.
“Pass!”
“Then I’ll be going!”
“Ah, Aesha…?”
“Yes!!”
At that moment, I heard Noah calling me.
Could it be that I was caught? Then again, bringing chocolate twice was probably pushing it?
“By any chance… If you have time later, would you like to have lunch with me?”
“Together…?”
However, the sentence that came through was completely unexpected.
It’s been ages since I had lunch with someone else.
It’s a bit burdensome and I’m not really fond of it, but since she is the first person in this world to show me kindness…
“Okay, I understand…!”
“Yeah, then we’ll see each other later at the restaurant?”
“You two get along well.”
“Um…”
The girl who had been alternating her gaze between us started to smile happily, so I hurriedly dashed towards my class.
“Ha.”
Crunch.
Earlier, I was so nervous that I didn’t even think about eating chocolate.
[Current Drunkenness: 1%]
I maintain the precarious level of drunkenness by eating chocolate.
And the warm sensation spreads through my body.
“Whew~.”
Ah, indeed, it always feels good to relax moderately.
It’s like being given a tranquilizer.
I never had this in my previous life, but maybe it’s one of the curses of being an alcoholic or a drunkard that has this effect.
Just then, I hear a few voices whispering behind me.
“Hey… what are you eating right now?”
Who is touching me now?
As I looked toward someone waking me from my daze, I saw a student.
I don’t particularly recognize who it is.
I’ve never seen them in the game, and since I tend to forget unless the main character appears quite a bit, it doesn’t stick.
Noah and a few characters stand out in my memory, but others don’t.
“Who are you?”
“Ah… I’m in the same class as you?”
No, I meant your name.
Fortunately, they quickly realize what they said and introduce themselves.
“My name is Kirie Yuuka.”
“Yuuka…?”
I get the feeling they weigh around 100kg.
Hmm, the demon of mass, a black hole…?
No, that’s not it; it must be from another game.
I shake off the thoughts of the other game that popped into my head and continue the conversation.
“Oh, this? It’s just ordinary chocolate…”
“Ho… Could it be that there’s something strange in it?”
“Well, would you like to try it?”
I have indeed eaten too much chocolate.
It’s understandable that I’m under suspicion.
“This…?”
The student named Yuuka accepts the chocolate I offered with a worried expression and looks at it for a moment.
“Are you really going to eat it?”
“I’m a bit uneasy.”
Seeing them receive it but not eat it made me slightly irritated.
How dare they disregard my chocolate?
“If you’re not going to eat it, can you give it back?”
“Ah, no! I’ll eat it.”
And the chocolate goes into their mouth.
Crunch.
The sound that could be heard meant she definitely ate the chocolate.
A brief silence, and then another student asks.
“Is it okay?”
“Um… yeah, it’s just ordinary chocolate, right?”
And the reaction that came was pretty standard.
Of course, that chocolate is ordinary chocolate.
I’m no fool; I didn’t prepare it without any precautions.
One-third is ordinary chocolate, and the rest contains alcohol.
I wanted to make more, but I couldn’t focus beyond that, so it’s fortunate that the presence of alcohol went unnoticed.
Not that I have a way to identify it.
I just eat it until I get caught.
This time, I was lucky.
‘Yeah, that was lucky.’
I rejected further requests from those who asked for more.
“What? You gave her some, right?”
“If you want to eat some, buy it yourself.”
How dare they casually touch the distilled essence of my labor?
I will definitely refuse.
Besides, the amount I brought today is roughly enough to last me the week.
If I give it out indiscriminately, I would have to make chocolate again. I can’t do that tedious work again.
“Um… then how are you so strong?”
“Strong?”
Am I strong?
Not particularly.
I only pulled it up to 5% when I fought Yoon Si-woo to pressure him for a moment, but I fainted from the impact of that dazzling sword.
I wouldn’t easily win if I fought these guys either.
“Yeah! You held out against the first place!”
“Right, so I thought what you were eating was some kind of drug.”
“Ah.”
“Eating so much just because you like chocolate seems unusual.”
Is that why they asked for chocolate?
Well, in the eyes of these guys who are the epitome of self-control, my indulgence in chocolate might look like a drug.
I might seem weak on the outside, but I’m actually just a girl who doesn’t care about her weight.
Although that’s a disheartening fact.
“Um… wouldn’t it just be fine to fight at full power?”
Therefore, I gave them the best advice I could offer.
The protagonists tend to beat final bosses when they fight at full power, so they shouldn’t be incapable of doing so.
It’s not a game, and it’s reality, so it probably won’t be impossible.
“Is it really that easy?”
“Then I don’t really know…”
If only someone had an eye for traits, I could have given better advice; it’s a shame.
It would change genres from being students to commanders or teachers right away…!!
Occasionally, something would pop up in front of my eyes, but it seems to only display my status, which isn’t particularly useful.
[You are currently hungry.]
[You are currently sleepy.]
[You currently have a stomachache.]
It’s more like showing me those kinds of messages.
It only distracts me and isn’t useful.
“Um…”
Still, with the students in front of me looking for advice, I maximized my memories of my past and present lives and threw out a sentence.
“Give up what you should give up.”
“…?”
“No, what does that mean…?”
Some things can’t be done.
What’s going to happen will happen.
Can a human lift a mountain alone? Can they part a sea?
In this case, it seems possible, but not over there.
I realize it immediately.
Just like the sensation I had when facing the first place, ah, this absolutely can’t be done.
The quality of traits, from the stepping stones of birth to the speed of growth, all can’t be paralleled.
Second place? The emotions of frustration don’t even arise, let alone sadness; it’s a feeling beyond reach.
“So don’t even look at mountains that can’t be climbed.”
“…”
The atmosphere became oddly gloomy.
The mood felt off, but I probably didn’t need to be concerned.
If I wanted to, I would have liked to hand out alcohol chocolates, but that would undoubtedly lead to reporting me, so I can’t do that.
Bang!!
“Ha ha! How are you students!!”
And then, a red-haired woman burst through the door with vigor.
Philia, the instructor – no, the professor – who always maintains the same vibe.
“What’s up with this atmosphere?”
She immediately shouts after hearing about the classroom’s gloomy atmosphere and its cause.
“Surely, it’s not going to work with normal methods! But if it’s me, it’s different! I can make you all stronger!!”
Ah, something feels uneasy about this.
“From now on, I will start training just for you all!”
I don’t know why her red hair looks like a hat I saw in the military.
