Arsha left without saying another word. And now…

“We did it!” Yusha cried. “It was a huge victory!”

I bask in our glory with Yusha, now with all her energy back!

“That last spell of yours was amazing, Lily!” Yusha said.

“Thank you,” I said. “I have to thank you guys for giving me the chance to fire it off.”

I mean it. Without them, we couldn’t have won.

“Especially you, Hira!” Shilde said. “That last Boost saved us! Thanks.”

“Hee?” Hira gasps. “Tha-That’s right! I… I…”

Shilde pats Hira on the shoulder to thank her. Now, Hira’s face is bright red… so precious.

“Hey, how long are you going to spend talking?” the teacher said as they entered the room. “Isn’t it the closing ceremony from here on out?”

We snap to attention. There’s a closing ceremony… even though there was no opening ceremony.

It seemed to be held in the observation room. When the teacher took our party into the room, everyone else was already in formation. It was an amazing sight… after all, if you’re the champion, you’ll get a lot of attention.”

“We will now hold the closing ceremony for the Freshman Ranking Matches. Everyone, thank you for your participation.”

It started in the usual manner.

“We will now hand out the awards, so the champion party, please head to the front.”

Oh, there’s an award ceremony, too. I wave at everyone and tell them, “Let’s go.” Yusha replied with an, “OK!”

As we walk forward to get our award… I notice a bewitching girl with black hair in pigtails is holding our certificate. Um… is that Ms. Altis, the director of this academy? Her name sounds similar to Arsha’s…

“Yusha, Lily, Shilde, Hira,” Ms. Altis said. “Congratulations on taking the championship. I look forward to your future success.”

Ms. Altis hands over our certificate to me, as the leader I step forward to receive it.

“Thank you very much,” I said.

“… Yes, you are the leader.

“Huh…?”

“Now, the Party in 2nd place will also be commended. Please come forward.”

I feel like Ms. Altis said something so I thought I’d ask her but the announcement drowns me out. Well, if it was important, I’m sure she’d say it to me later.

After the formal closing ceremony, school is finally over for today! It’s the weekend! I’m exhausted from thinking about these Ranking Matches…

“Ah, yes, I forgot to mention that the temporary parties have now completed your training. You will all be disbanded as soon as the tests next week are over. Thank you all for your work today.”

That’s right… this party is over. However…

“Hey, everyone, we can join up as a formal party if you want to?”

It’s strange and rare for me to ask so bluntly, isn’t it? But… I couldn’t help but say it out loud. I still want to give my all alongside them. Now… what are they going to say?

“Of course I want to!” Yusha said. “Pleasure to keep working with you, Lily~!”

“I do,” Shilde said. “I’ve still got things I want to do with you.”

“I—I want to stay together, too!” Hira squeaked. “You can kick me out as soon as I hold us back!”

They’re all agreeing… I think we can form a permanent party without any changes. Now all I need to worry about is…

“Shilde, are you studying for the quarterly test next week?” I asked.

A test is a test, even if it’s only covering about 2 weeks of classroom lectures. I don’t know what’s waiting for us if any of us fail.

“I-I am!” Shilde said.

“Ahahah… then let’s go home!” I said.

“Huh?”

Just as I was about to walk away, we saw a figure before us. After confirming who it was, Shilde is on alert and steps forward.

“… Did you need something, Arsha?” Shilde asked.

“… I’m sorry!” Arsha said.

Surprisingly, Arsha bowed her head, her long, beautiful blond hair flowing around her. It’s towards Yusha… isn’t it?

“I was rude to you, Yusha…”

“It’s fine, water under the bridge! Because I had my friends!”

As she said that, Yusha puts her arms over our shoulders. Because she’s so small, she looks so cute as she can’t reach.

“Friends…” Arsha said.

I move past Arsha on my way back home, she mutters something. Did I just hear her say, “How nice…” as we passed by, or…?

T/N: This project is now abandoned. Any other translators who wish to pick up this series may do so immediately.

For those curious as to what happens in the latest update, by the 100’s, Lily is still oblivious and Ascena is still denying that she’s jealous of Yusha and their relationship. With how little changes after all this time (aside from Arsha joining the harem and her yandere antics), I don’t think I’ll want to spend so much time translating this.

My apologies to all the readers that were enjoying this. Thank you for your comments and support. I will continue trying to look for Yuri and bringing it to a wider audience.
