Last Period Collab - Chapter 2

Heeeeey, where'd you go...? I'm not gonna hurt you!

(Man... I ran after it without a second thought, but what am I gonna do...?

I thought I saw it escape into here...)

—Huh!?

(Wh-What the hell?! Someone's suddenly pinned my arms behind me..?!)

What is this place.

Who the hell are you — what are you doing!?

Answer my question.

Owowow— The underground archives! These are the underground archives!

Underground archives? ...Of which palace?

I've got no idea what you're talking about, but we’re in Yumenosaki Academy?!

Yumenosaki Academy...? I could say the same to you. If you're just fucking around, then I'll break your arms.

Owowow!! Uncle, uncle! I give, they're seriously about to snap!

...I've never seen those clothes before. Are you from the Huma Realm?

Uh, “Huma Realm”? Sorry, but I've never heard of that unit...

Actually, shouldn't you let me go since I answered you? I'm not gonna do anything to you anyway.

........

Ah, finally...

Huh!?

Hmph. Don't stare.

Uh, s-sorry.

(What a seriously weird appearance~. Is he in the idol course?)

...Tch. I don't remember this moldy place. What happened?

Uh, are you a third year?

What?

Nothing, I was just curious, since I don't think I've seen you before~... Uh, I'm Isara Mao, a second year in the idol course.

...Zex.

Uh, Zex-san, are you a student in the idol c...

Woah, what’d I step on?!

Ugh...

Someone’s collapsed here?!

Just leave him there.

No way, I can't just do that! Are you okay? Please wake up!

Urgh...

Where...?

— Are you a human?

What’re you getting so mad for?! And stop thrashing around! You're asking that, but you're a human too, ri... huh?

(Am... Am I imagining things, or are those... ears? Sprouting from his head???

It's a hood. Yeah, that's gotta be it!)

Um, Zex-san? Do you know this guy?

What? No.

Wait, are you... Nero, from the Animal Realm?

.....

Umm, I still don't really get... He said your name is Nero, right?

Don't say my name so casually, human.

Anyway, what is this place... And what the hell happened..? Dammit, I don't get it.

Hmph, don't worry about that guy. Just take me back to the Huma Realm.

Uh, you can say that all you want, but...

What is this “Huma” place, exactly? It doesn't sound like the name of a unit.

Ah, maybe you're from the Theater Course? I'd totally get it if you were practicing lines...

Huh, theater? Don't mess with me.

Yikes, don't just grab my collar like that?!

I'm a Knight of the Huma Realm's Royal Guard, not of the theater.

Kn-Knight...?

(I really don't understand what he's going on about - is he serious? If he's not an actor... Is he even a student here?)

Oh, crap!

...What?

The bell! Didn't the bell just ring? Class is starting!
