For a long time, Nameless felt as though she had been having a bad dream.

And it also felt like many people had supported her, helping her recover from that dream and face forward.

But apparently, all of that—including those feelings—had been a dream too.

Nameless tried to remember it, but couldn’t quite understand.

“Well then, shall we get right to discussing the upcoming Conquest Festival?”

The usual members were gathered in the student council room.

The childhood friend trio, plus Kei, Miyume, Clam, and Hikari—seven in all.

These were the students who made up Fectom Comprehensive Academy.

“……Huh?”

Nameless tilted her head.

The Conquest Festival should have already come to a glorious close with their victory.

“Hmm?”

And who was that girl by the whiteboard, tablet in hand, keeping minutes for the meeting?

And who was her little sister trying to peek at that tablet?

Jade and crimson felt missing from this room.

“Is something wrong, Toa-chan?”

“Ah, um...”

“Don’t tell me you’re hungry already? We’re barely scraping by as it is, so stop eating so much, okay?”

“S-sorry, Clam.”

Nameless reflexively bowed her head.

Clam looked blank, and everyone present looked a little surprised at them.

“What’s wrong, everyone?”

“No, it’s just the first time you called me by name without an honorific.”

“Huh... was it?”

“It was. Well, I don’t mind it, though. It feels friendlier than being called ‘senpai’ or whatever.”

“That’s right, Clam is Clam! Then am I Hikari?”

“No, Hikari-chan is Hikari-chan, I guess.”

“Eh? So I’m the only one being underestimated...?”

Clam froze, looking a little shocked.

Then they summoned one Murder Frog and hugged it like a stuffed animal.

The Murder Frog said nothing and simply let itself be hugged. Normally, it would say things like “Of course” or “Don’t mind.”

“……?”

“Toa-chan, are you really okay?”

“Ah, yeah. I’m fine. Maybe I’m still half asleep.”

Kei, sitting next to them, looked worried.

Toa squeezed Kei’s hand to reassure her. At the same time, relief welled up inside Toa.

As long as Toa had this feeling, she wouldn’t go crazy.

“How sloppy. Right, Toa, tonight you’re diving into a dungeon with me. I was just about to test the weapon Miyume invented.”

“I made a liquid that efficiently explodes magic power. I want you to pour it over your head and charge at the Dungeon Master. I call it Miyume Dynamite.”

For some reason, that suicide charge felt terribly frightening to them.

Nameless shook her head and desperately refused.

“Eh? I have plans, so I’ll pass!”

“Plans? You don’t have anything like that, Toa.”

“Well, that’s... um...”

Toa couldn’t deny Mizuhi’s bluntly rude words.

Instead, Toa let out a meaningless “Auu” and let her gaze wander, but Miroku deliberately brushed her off with a smile, and Hikari seemed ready to volunteer too. Clam was making herself as inconspicuous as possible so the arrow wouldn’t land on her.

Eventually, Nameless looked at Kei as usual.

“Kei... help me.”

“Mizuhi-senpai, actually I was thinking we’d explore a dungeon together. Could you leave this to me?”

“Mm, is that so? If Kei’s there, I’m not worried. Then I’ll just go wild on my own.”

“Can Clam and I join too?”

“Hey, I never said I was okay with that—”

The usual clamor filled the student council room.

As Nameless watched that noisy scene, she squeezed Kei’s hand, and Kei squeezed back a little.

Right now, that was a great happiness.

■

The meeting came to a fun, noisy end.

The time was twelve o’clock—the long-awaited lunch break.

For Nameless, it was a time that could be called bliss.

“Toa-chan, let’s eat together.”

“Yeah!”

Toa nodded, holding a container full of bean sprouts in one hand.

Fectom had recovered compared to before, but it still didn’t have enough leeway to make lunch extravagant.

But Toa liked bean sprouts in their own way.

“Then let’s eat over there—”

The moment Toa pointed to a corner of the student council room, the scenery suddenly changed.

“Eh?”

Before she knew it, a collar was gripped in her hand, and the location had changed to Kei’s private room.

The curtains were closed, and only a dim light illuminated the room.

“Wha—? What is this!?”

A voice called out to the panicked Nameless.

“Nya, nyan...”

Looking, there on the bed sat Kei—no, Sorciera—in cat ears and a camisole dress.

Her eyes were teary and her face bright red, and her right hand was curled like a cat’s paw.

“Ah, that’s right.”

Nameless suddenly remembered.

“Today was Nyan-nyan Service Day, wasn’t it?”

“How careless of me,” Nameless thought, as she regripped the collar and approached Sorciera—.

■

“Hey, can you stop that kind of thing!?”

“Huh? What’s wrong? I was just making it indecent for you.”

Kei, who had been staring at the wall, suddenly shouted, and the Conductor shrugged with a troubled look.

“This isn’t just indecent—it’s way beyond that!”

“Hawa... K-Kei-chan and that child, that kind of thing is no good...”

“In the first place, could you not show Toa-chan weird things?”

“You complain a lot.”

“Conductor, these kids are still students. Hold back.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

Conductor fell silent and used Harmony again.

(This indecency was just reusing something that already existed in this child’s memories, so this play definitely happened in the past, but would it be tactless to point that out?)

The Conductor calmly arranged the dream and began their indecent intervention once more.

“Then next, let me use the indecency you have in mind.”

“Eh?”

“That’s right, with Kei-chan we can rest easy!”

“E-eh? M-me!?”

“Oh my, you’re not scared, are you? Rest assured. Our leader once had a romance novel about themselves and Sorciera of All-Encompassing Love published in Atlastia.”

“How is that supposed to reassure anyone?”

“...Half of that is a lie.”

“Then what’s the true half...?”

Doctor didn’t answer.

Doctor’s expression seemed as though they were trying to protect Lusciera’s dignity, or perhaps trying to forget the incident.

“Now, let’s begin the harmony of dreams. Let’s enthusiastically get indecent.”

“...Fine, I’ll do it.”

■

The scene of Nyan-nyan service changed completely.

With a single blink, the sight of Sorciera on her back with teary eyes was gone, and Nameless stood in the hallway of the school building in midsummer.

“A lewd daydream...?”

“Toa-chan.”

“Ah, Kei.”

Kei was waving from down the hallway.

When she saw Nameless, she broke into a run and boldly threw her arms around her.

“Whoa, you’re really assertive today.”

“Toa-chan, I... I-I love you...!”

After suddenly saying that, Kei blushed, trembled, and closed her eyes.

Then she brought her face closer.

“Me too.”

Nameless, as if accustomed to this, leaned in too, and a soft sensation touched her lips.

“H-how was it?”

“Yeah, your lips were soft as always.”

Nameless said that without batting an eye.

Then, the scenery and sound stopped as if frozen in a video.

“Wha—what is this!? Hey, what’s going on!? This is definitely weird, isn’t it!?”

■

“Your indecency is way too weak. Could you not do children’s romance?”

“...W-well, when I actually try to be indecent head-on, I get embarrassed. It’s different from when I’m just teasing—or rather, I became conscious of it...”

“So even Kei-chan makes that face...!”

“D-don’t stare at me like that, Toa-chan.”

“...Ooh.”

It was the moment something suddenly blossomed inside Toa.

“So, you think indecency is just kissing and confessing your feelings? Can you do anything more than that? This child’s dream is at a considerable indecency level. Phase-wise, it’s a 4 or 5.”

“What’s an indecency phase?”

The Conductor’s eyes already seemed to see Kei as a toy.

(These kids are too pure and amusing. With toys like these, it would be a waste not to play with them.)

This time, pretending to misjudge their restraint, Conductor elegantly planned to hit them with some truly awful indecency.

Then, with a gentle smile like a white curtain swaying in the wind, she said:

“Well then, shall we try again?”

“R-right.”

“Kei-chan, fight...!”

Toa cheered with clenched fists, while Kei’s earlier composure had completely vanished.

Just as the Conductor was about to lick her lips at the sight of these toys—

“—I believe Nameless will wake up.”

“Ah.”

At the voice from behind, Conductor froze.

Still wearing a smile, Conductor slowly turned around.

“...Ah, good morning, our leader.”

“Good morning. Thank you for the best wake-up, Conductor.”

There stood Lusciera with a vein bulging on her forehead.

And behind Lusciera were Seeker with teary eyes and a bright red face, and the other members who had woken up one after another.

“Carnival’s over, is it...?”

“I believe you can’t tell a lie.”

“How cruel!”

That was the moment the Conductor’s smile first broke.

『Hey! What part of this is indecent!? This is false advertising! Give it here—I’ll teach you what indecency really is!』

『Yours is no good...』

『Starreader’s Staff, you’re always like this. Why don’t you leave it to the players’ imaginations? It’s foolish that you can’t understand how tactless it is for the management to give too many answers.』

『What’s with this one being bold only when it comes to social games? And this isn’t a social game.』

『How about rubbing thighs together, System-senpai?』

『Hmm, very well. Please pay attention to the sound too.』
