Chapter 297
297 – Afterword and Graduation Ceremony
This is the story backward.
After falling into Tokyo Bay from 700 meters above sea level, I swam back to land.
Normally, he would not have been able to avoid injury if he fell from that height, but he was able to offset the kinetic energy generated during the fall by using Hayate’s 7th type, Ryunobori, as his full power just before entering the seawater
To be honest, I thought it would break at one point, but I landed with all limbs intact, so it was a blessing in disguise.
In addition, there was an incident in which a resident who was walking on a nearby coastal road ran away in fright upon seeing a strange man over 190cm tall walking out of the sea water in the middle of the night, but fortunately it did not make it onto the morning news.
Anyway, enough of my story, which you might not be very curious about, let’s go back to Ryuji and Chiaki’s story –
According to what I heard later, it seems that Chiaki, who was confessed to by Ryuji in the sky, ended up becoming a youkai.
Chiaki, who became a youkai, was able to fly, so she returned home safely, holding Ryuji in her arms.
It seems that she told her parents and younger sister at home that she had run into Chiaki while she was backpacking and let her stay overnight.
And the situation reaches now.
【I must have done well yesterday.】
Fushiikazuchi-no-kami, who returned from the gigantic dragon to the form of a snake, questioned us with flashing yellow eyes as we returned to the shrine.
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m in a hurry.”
“I caused trouble.”
The three of us apologized at the same time as if we had made a promise.
The black snake, which was looking down at the back of our heads, soon snorted and said, “Well, that’s enough. “It’s already happened, so there’s nothing we can do about it,” He said, shaking his head.
【Rather than that, what do you plan to do now?】
“Huh? Me?”
Chiaki points to herself with a surprised expression at the sudden name.
【Yes, since he became a youkai with a strong wish (desire), shouldn’t he think about how to live in the future?】
“… I don’t have anything in particular in mind.”
【Then how about becoming one of my subjects?】
“Yes? A member of the household?”
【You may not realize it yet, but the power you have is enough to overpower even most youkai. To be honest, it’s been almost 500 years since the Sengoku period that such a strong yokai was born. 】
“Uh… Thank you for the offer, but I want to live with Ryuji.”
【In that case, shouldn’t they become my descendants even more?】
“Why is that?”
【I am a god originally from the nether world. Becoming one of my descendants is like gaining the right to enter and exit the nether world. The lifespan of a human is only about 100 years at best, but on the other hand, a monster can live for thousands of years, so it always ends well. However, if those disadvantages become part of my family, the story will be different.】
“… Do you mean we can be together even after death?”
【If you stay together in the Nether, you can follow him even if you are reincarnated as a human.】
“Then I’ll do it!”
Seeing such an attractive offer, Chiaki took the bait.
【Hehe, that’s a good attitude. Then, I will have to stay here for the next few months and receive special training.】
“T-special training?”
Chiaki stutters, perhaps feeling uncomfortable at the sudden use of the word special training.
【If you become one of my subjects, you will meet other gods, so shouldn’t you learn basic etiquette? As a bonus, I will teach you how to control your strength into your body.】
“… Can I take back what I said?”
【No refunds.】
“Help! Ryuji!”
Chiaki clung to Ryuji with her last efforts, but Ryuji ignored Chiaki.
“… “I will visit you often.”
From noble mtl dot come
“You said we’d be together forever! How could you do that!”
“I think it’s a temporary farewell for that purpose.”
While saying that, he even showed himself removing Chiaki’s fingers that were holding onto the hem of his clothes her one by one, which was truly the final blow.
“I hate it!”
Chiaki, who transformed from a ghost to a youkai, became a new member of the Raijin Fushiikazuchi no Kami.

How did the turmoil that started in the New Year come to an end and the third semester began safely?
Unlike Korean high schools, which typically only have one and two semesters, Japanese high schools operate on a three-semester system.
After the short winter break, which usually starts around Christmas, students return to school for about two more months from January to March, and the content of the classes taken during this time is not much different from the first and second semesters.
School goes on for about two more months, and when spring break occurs in March, there is a break of about a month, and then the new semester starts again in April.
However, unlike last year, which was eventful, there were no major incidents in the third semester.
Most of the relationships surrounding me have been reorganized, but now that everyone is in their third year, they are starting to prepare for the center exam in earnest.
Some people started studying early during spring break, while others gave up going to college and went to private academies to find a job.
If I had to choose between going to college or getting a job, I was definitely the former.
To be honest, with my grades, I would definitely get a scholarship no matter which school I went to, so I didn’t think there was any need to give up on going on.
In the case of the president, you said that you are thinking of going to Kyoto University’s economics department, so I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to aim for that as well.
January was right after school started, so nothing special happened.
Likewise, February passed without any special events… I would like to say that, but because Valentine’s Day fell in the middle, my daily life was not peaceful.
The number of people in ‘Kim Yu-sung’s harem’ increased exponentially without my knowledge.
It wasn’t enough that I found out that the identities of the 5th and 6th members, who had been shrouded in mystery, were Senpai Fuma and Meiring. Nao, who didn’t know who she had been recruited by, was incorporated as a new harem member, and a total of eight women confessed to me. This is because it increased to.
… Even though bigamy was legalized in Japan thanks to the chairman’s lobbying, isn’t this too much?
Bloody Valentine’s Day, which was all about ruining a marriage due to a battle of wits between eight women, has passed, and before we know it, it’s March.
The graduation day for the third-year president is fast approaching.

“Is it graduation time already?”
I, who was in charge of giving a congratulatory speech at the graduation ceremony as a representative of the students, went to school in uniform on a day when other students had school days off.
In front of the school gate, teachers and new student council officers are busy walking around to greet graduates and their parents.
When I found Mr. Matsuda standing in front of the school gate, I walked closer and greeted him.
“Hello, teacher.”
“Oh, is it Yooseong? Welcome.”
Saying that, Ms. Matsuda put down the desk she was holding in her hands for a moment, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and took a moment to catch her breath.
“I wonder why this has been so hard since morning.”
“Haha… You’ve been through a lot.”
Until last year, I followed this teacher and did physical labor, but now that I am no longer an officer of the student council, the reason for doing so has disappeared.
Mr. Matsuda, who was quenching her thirst with bottled water, asked, wiping her mouth with his forearm.
“Has the barn been prepared well?”
“Yes. “I finished it just last night.”
While saying that, I showed the A4 paper I had taken out of my bag and asked, looking out of the corner of my eye at the new student council members who were busy walking around.
“Are the newly selected kids good at their jobs?”
Then Matsuda shrugged her shoulders and said.
“So-so? To be honest, the student council of Jeondae did a surprisingly good job, so we have to take it into account to some extent.”
Starting with the chairman who is both charismatic and wealthy, the vice-chairman who has some flaws but is sure to get things done, the bookkeeper who can calculate money well, and the secretary who is in charge of actual force.
Even now that I think about it, it was a student council with perfect balance.
“Then let me go in first.”
“Okay, go in.”
After bowing to Mr. Matsuda, I was about to pass through the school gate when something suddenly occurred to me and I asked him.
“So, sir, are the chairman and vice president already here?”
Then, upon hearing my question, Ms. Matsuda nodded her head.
“The two of you already came 30 minutes ago. It seemed like you were heading towards the old school building earlier, so go that way.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
If it’s the old teacher’s office, is it the student council room?
I thought like that and turned around.
***
Knock! Knock!
“Excuse me.”
After knocking a couple of times, I carefully opened the door and entered, and a familiar sight greeted me.
“Kim Yu-seong, is it you?”
Student council room.
It is a space where traces of past student council members remain.
The vice president, who was caring the desk he used with sentimental eyes, said that when he saw me.
He said it was okay to call him by his first name, but he said he felt more comfortable if he was called vice president.
“Did you come to see the student council room one last time before graduating?”
“Well, that’s right. I guess it’s where I stayed for two years.”
As he said that, the vice president raised his glasses with his middle finger and asked me.
“The fact that you came here means you came to look for the young lady, right?”
“Yes.”
“If you are a young lady, you will be on the rooftop. You said you would like to have a last look at the school.”
“Is it the rooftop?”
It looks like our paths diverged.
After thanking the vice president, I closed the door again and was about to leave the student council room when a sudden thought occurred to me and I stopped.
“Shinjiro-senpai.”
“What is that suddenly unfamiliar name?”
“Thank you so much.”
When I said that and bowed down, the vice president blushed and urged.
“Don’t say anything strange and just go quickly.”
“I thought the vice president would say that too.”
I gave a thumbs up for the vice president, a tsundere man who is not in demand.
