Title: I survived once again
A dark movie theater
A lewd and sweet temptation
I could have definitely done it, but I didn't
I said I didn't...

[Yeah, yeah, calm down and tell us]
ㄴ[Ares: This place is hell sob sob ㅠㅠ]
[LunchboxCollector: You didn't kiss??? In a movie theater?? You didn't even touch her titties?? In a movie theater???]
ㄴ[Ares: You son of a bitch]
ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: This bastard is really mad lololol]
ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: lololololol]
[NightRat: Touch them as much as you want after you graduate]
ㄴ[Ares: I really miss Mommy Ellie at times like this...]
ㄴ[NightRat: What the hell did you do to Ellie's mother;;]
The movie theater date with Lana.
It was fun if you could call it fun, but in a way, an incredibly painful time had ended.
"Aah~, the weekend is already over."
"Yeah…."
Lana also felt regretful, though in a slightly different sense than me, as we headed to the dormitory together.
A moment later.
We arrived at the girls' dormitory, which was closer to the shopping district, first, and I saw Lana off.
"Go on in, see you tomorrow."
"……."
But for some reason, Lana didn't accept my greeting and stood there blankly looking at me.
With her usual playful smile on her face.
"Aren't you feeling a bit regretful? Ares."
"…Uh, ……about what?"
At her single remark, I ended up getting tense without realizing it.
But that tension was a different kind of tension from fear.
"But, we held hands tightly and watched a horror movie. We went on a date like that and came back. Wouldn't it be wrong to just say 'Bye~' and go back?"
"……."
What the hell did she want to say?
No, what the hell did she want?
I looked at her silently with an inexplicably trembling heart.
Then, Lana gently approached me and.
Hug~
She embraced me.
"W-w-w-wait a minute…!!"
"What's wrong~, friends hug each other, don't they?"
"What kind of man and woman hug so tightly like this…! Ueoeo…!?"
Squish, squish~
A sensation that came back to me after a long time.
The sensation of our bodies overlapping inside the cabinet was revived.
And, Lana lifted her head just like that and looked at me.
Her face was also slightly flushed.
"You know, my room…, do you want to come in?"
"……Eh."
To Lana's room…?
Going to a girl's room after a date.
That meant se….
Smack—!!
"Keoheok!!"
"Kyaat! A-are you okay!?"
"Yeah, I'm fine now…."
I chased away the distracting thoughts in my head with my fist.
Let's get a grip.
How could I be swayed by such a simple temptation.
The opponent was an anomaly…, the opponent was an anomaly….
"Tch, coward. I was just joking."
"Don't make such bad jokes…."
"Hmph, even though your heart fluttered. Your heart is pounding super fast right now too."
"That's because…, you're hugging me…."
"So your heart is fluttering?"
"……."
"Hehe."
At my silence, Lana smiled with satisfaction and only then gently pulled her body away.
"Then let's end the greetings with this! See you tomorrow, Ares."
"U-uh…."
Like that, Lana headed to the girls' dormitory with a beaming smile.
I watched her figure with a regretful heart.
Just then.
"Ah!"
"Huh?"
"I forgot this!"
Lana immediately turned around and ran towards me.
And then she grabbed my hand and placed hers on top of it.
'What is it…?'
I felt something hard.
"A present, I picked it up a few days ago. I'll give it to you, Ares."
"……A key?"
"Yeah, it looks unique, doesn't it?"
What Lana handed me was a key.
A thin, long, antique-designed key.
"I'm really going now then."
After Lana went inside the dormitory.
I stared at the key blankly for a moment.
A key….
I felt like something was coming to mind.
'Lana picked this up recently….'
And at that moment.
"Ah."
I remembered.
Just a few days ago.
When Jack, who possessed Bryce, barged into my room, Lana had taken that bastard away.
And, Jack had definitely —opened my room door with a master key.
"Don't tell me this is…?"

Couldn't I use this like Ellie's diary too???
He used this to pick the lock on my room door
And he was going in and out of the girls' dormitory with it too??

[RedNightSky: Where did you find that again?? Didn't you say Lana took that Bryce bastard away]
ㄴ[Ares: That's why Lana gave it to me]
ㄴ[RedNightSky: Why did Lana give you that???]
ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Kyaa she saved you and even gave you the dropped loot lololol]
ㄴ[Hikikomori: How the hell did this bastard seduce the anomaly...]
[NightRat: It would be fucking great if it works]
ㄴ[NightRat: Because if you're outside at night by any chance, you can just pick a dormitory door and go in]
ㄴ[Ares: Wow fuck fuck I need to go see Miss Rapori right away tomorrow]
ㄴ[Hikikomori: Why are you the only one playing on fucking easy mode??? Why only you?? Seriously, why only you???]
ㄴ[ForGlory: Seeing the anomaly bitch flirting with him, it might not be easy mode...]
ㄴ[Hikikomori: Ah definitely lololol]
ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: He just gets horny and can't even pounce on her lololol]
ㄴ[Ares: Don't fucking laugh and just insult me you son of a bitch]
A 'master key' generally meant putting the unlocking patterns of various types of locks into one key entirely.
Therefore, it normally couldn't unlock locks unrelated to the master key.
But if that was the case, it made no sense for Bryce to freely go in and out of both the girls' and boys' dormitories.
Because the keyhole of the dormitory main gate and the keyhole of the dormitory room were different in size from the start.
"Popopo, what brings you here so early in the morning? Little friend."
That was why on Monday morning.
I ran straight to Miss Rapori as soon as the sun came up.
If this was a master key that could 'open any door'.
It would be a tremendous help in my future school life.
"How is it…? In your opinion, teacher…."
"Hmm~."
Miss Rapori observed the key I handed her closely.
The key, the size of my index finger, felt as small as a toothpick when placed on Miss Rapori's hand.
And a moment later.
"Popopo, I can definitely feel some power sleeping within it, just as you said, little friend."
"Really?!"
"Yes, I think we can restore its power with your magic, little friend. Isn't that great? Popo~."
I also smiled broadly at Miss Rapori's smile.
There was power hidden in it.
That meant that the master key was also a part of an anomaly.
'Then doesn't that mean I can open almost any door…?'
Just being able to open locked dormitory doors at night was a huge advantage.
Because if I happened to be left outside at night, I would have a means of survival.
"Popopo, then will you use magic on this key?"
"Yes! Please do!"
"Hmm, it's difficult right now. If we do it, let's do it after all the school classes are over."
"Ah…, yes! That's fine…!"
There was no rush today anyway.
It wasn't like I was caught up in an anomaly.
However,
"Popopo, then will you pay the commission fee in advance like last time?"
"Excuse me…? Ah, the commission fee. ……How much is it by any chance?"
"Popo, are you pretending not to know? How cute…, it's 300,000 cocoon, of course."
"……."
Money was the problem.

Title: Are you originally strapped for cash living here?
Fuck, why is it 300,000 cocoon to use magic once...
300,000 for Ellie's diary this time
And 300,000 to use it on this key
I think I'm fucked, what do I do...??
I feel like I'm going to starve at this rate...

[I have a good idea]
ㄴ[Ares: What is it??]
ㄴ[Let's go with the gigolo meta]
ㄴ[Ares: ?????]
ㄴ[Get free meals from Ellie and Lana alternately]
ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: Kyaa, that's a fucking brilliant idea]
ㄴ[Ares: Like hell I would, fuck]
ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: No but if it's Ellie and Lana, if you ask, they'd really make you bento boxes lololol]
ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Since an experienced person is saying it, I think it might work lololol]
"Uugh…."
"What's wrong? Ares."
"No…."
Lunch time.
I was currently eating a bento with Ellie.
For reference, I decided to eat with Lana tomorrow.
Because doing this would keep the peace during lunch time.
'Get free meals…?'
The cocoon provided every month was 2 million cocoon.
Students of Wonder Academy used this money for a month's living expenses.
Starting from basic meals, to clothes or daily necessities.
And leisure expenses like watching movies, going to the game center, or buying books were also paid with this cocoon.
Even supplies or textbooks needed for school classes were purchased with this cocoon.
Of course, that didn't mean 2 million cocoon was insufficient.
Rather, even if you bought all that, there would be a little left over.
Yeah…, there would be a little left over.
As long as you didn't spend it anywhere else.
'Dammit, dammit…! 300,000 cocoon at once…! That's too expensive…!'
I felt like I could hear Miss Rapori's 'Popopopo' laughter.
—Popopo…, I am an expensive woman, you know?
Even this price was an amount with a student discount applied.
'But I can't give up the diary that can see the future…, and the master key….'
Especially Ellie's diary was very useful.
Because without Ellie's diary during the last movie theater ghost story …Ellie might have died.
"Ares…, did something bad happen?"
"Ah…."
Just then, Ellie, who was eating her bento next to me, looked at me with a worried face.
…The gigolo meta, huh.
"Hey, Ellie."
"Huh? What is it?"
"Can you give me that fried shrimp by any chance?"
I tried asking Ellie as a test.
The fried shrimp in her bento.
It was the only side dish of its kind in the bento Ellie bought today, so in a normal situation, it wasn't an easy side dish to give to someone else.
But…
"Eeh, did you do that because you wanted to eat this, Ares?"
"Ah, well…, yeah."
"Hehe, cute. To think you were agonizing over something like that."
Ellie chuckled without feeling the slightest bit of displeasure and then.
"…Then, …I'll give it to you if you let me feed it to you."
"Uh, uhh?"
"Here, ……say ahh~."
"…Ahh~."
Pop!
Munch, munch!
"Hehe, is it good?"
"Yeah…."
"I'm glad."
Ellie willingly handed over her one and only fried shrimp to me.
'No…! The guilt for this is too much…!!'
This wasn't something a human should do….
I'd rather grope Ellie's breasts and run away…, I couldn't bear to snatch her bento and endure it.
Of course, if I just asked, Ellie might buy a bento for me, but….
That in itself was an act that completely shattered a man's pride….
'Dammit…!'

Title: Is there really no way to earn money??
2 million cocoon is fucking tight
No, even if I try to save, how do I maintain 300,000 cocoon per use
This really makes no sense
I don't think I can handle being a gigolo, fuck

[Hey hey, you get used to doing trashy things too, you know?]
ㄴ[Ares: Get lost]
[LunchboxCollector: If you build up affection with various girls, they'll pack bentos for you often]
ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: For someone like you, couldn't you solve your food expenses with that??]
ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: If multiple girls take care of you, it won't be a burden on any single one of them]
ㄴ[Hikikomori: Come to think of it, this bastard seduced all sorts of girls so he never had to spend money on food lololol]
ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: fr lololol it wasn't bad]
ㄴ[Hikikomori: And then one crazy bitch lost her mind and killed you lololol]
ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: fr lololol I didn't expect her to bring a sashimi knife instead of a bento]
ㄴ[Ares: You're sharing some really fucking great info, you son of a bitch]
Wasn't there something?
If there was a system called cocoon, there must definitely be a system to earn that cocoon.
And just then.
Slide~
The exact comment I wanted was posted.
[ForGlory: There is a way to work part-time]
A part-time job!
'Yeah, this is what I wanted!'
I immediately demanded a detailed explanation.
ㄴ[Ares: Part-time?? What kind is there?]
ㄴ[ForGlory: But you don't get paid much]
ㄴ[ForGlory: And if you make a mistake, the sun might set and you'll be fucked]
ㄴ[ForGlory: You might not be able to study properly and get failing grades]
ㄴ[Ares: Ah fuck]
It seemed part-time jobs weren't it either….
No wonder the gallery members didn't recommend it right away.
'No…, but still, this is the only way to earn money….'
And just then.
Another comment was posted.
[NightRat: There's the scholarship system, you know]
ㄴ[ForGlory: Scholarship??? You have to be in the top 10 in grades to get that, how the hell do you get that]
ㄴ[NightRat: For now, that earns the biggest money]
'A scholarship…?'
Looking at the comments, it seemed it wasn't something you could get easily.
But it didn't matter.
Even if it was difficult, if I could earn a large amount of money safely.
ㄴ[Ares: What's the scholarship?? Explain in detail please]
ㄴ[NightRat: You take midterms and finals, right]
ㄴ[NightRat: You take those tests and they give a lump sum of cocoon as a scholarship to the students in the top 10]
ㄴ[Ares: How much???]
ㄴ[ForGlory: Was 1st place 5 million cocoon]
'5 million…!!'
A dream-like number was written there.
5 million cocoon….
If I just received that, I wouldn't have to worry about cocoon for a while.
I could use the 2 million cocoon provided every month for living expenses.
And when I needed magic, I could pay for it with the scholarship.
300,000 cocoon per magic commission.
It was an amount that allowed for roughly sixteen or seventeen magic commissions.

[NightRat: It's really not that easy though]
ㄴ[Ares: Can't I just minimize the gallery to transparent during the exam and solve it together with you guys???]
ㄴ[NightRat: There's a truckload of kids who died doing that]
ㄴ[Ares: Haa fuck]
ㄴ[NightRat: Still, there's nothing wrong with working hard, so do your best]
Studying….
Could I do it well?
Furthermore, the academics in this world were fundamentally different in many ways from the academics of the modern era I used to live in.
"A~res, we couldn't eat lunch together today, so let's go back together?"
"Ah, Lana. Sorry. I have something to do today."
"Whaat? You're so mean!"
"Sorry, it's really necessary."
"Got it, tch, then I'll go first. See you tomorrow."
But I had no choice but to do it.
In the worst-case scenario, I would end up going with the gigolo meta and really leeching off the girls.
Even the gigolo meta was merely on the level of saving food expenses.
It couldn't even be compared to 5 million cocoon.
So I had no choice but to devote myself to studying.
"Popopo, well then~, shall we begin?"
"Eot, eut, het, euhek…."
How much time was left until the midterm exams…?
Probably only a few weeks left.
If so, I had to start right away from today.
"There, it's all done."
"Th-thank you…."
"Do you want to rest a bit before you go today too?"
"No…, I'll get going quickly today…. I want to try using the key too…."
"Popopo, see you next time then. Little friend. Get back safely."
But wasn't there any expedient way to get high grades?
Using the gallery was impossible.
That was really a shame.
The gallery members were seniors who had taken the same classes as me before, so if I took a picture of the exam questions and showed them, they would definitely know the answers.
Was there no other way?
For example…, looking at the gallery without getting caught….
"No, they said everyone died doing that…."
"Ah, Ares. Are you leaving now?"
"……Huh? Lana."
"I'm leaving now too. Bye, see you tomorrow."
"Ah, yeah."
No, wait.
But did I really need to stubbornly stick to the gallery?
I had another method too.
For example, using Ellie's diary……….
"……."
"……."
Step, step, step!!!
"……."
"……."
At that moment.
I turned my head and looked behind me.
The hallway was still bright.
The sun hadn't set.
The one I saw was Lana.
Lana was walking away.
"……."
"……."
At that sight, my heart fluttered for some reason.
Lana….
—She went back just a little while ago.
"Lana."
"Huh? Ares?"
The moment I realized that fact, I called out to stop her without realizing it.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Huh? What is it?"
Lana tilted her head with her usual smile.
At that, I asked carefully.
"……—What's your preferred length and girth?"
"……."
And…
"Eeh? What's that? Hehe, I don't know."
"……."
Lana smiled and answered shyly.
"Who are you."
"……."
A question that popped out without me realizing it.
It was just a hunch.
This person wasn't Lana.
And probably.
Dangerous to Lana.
"……."
The something that looked like Lana after hearing my question.
It looked at me with a smile for a moment.
Soon after, it suddenly changed to a cold, expressionless face.
And it turned its body and began to walk down the hallway.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Eh…?"
Of course.
I had not the slightest intention of just letting it go.
No matter how I thought about it, it was unusual.
This bastard…, was dangerous.

[StudentCouncilTerrorist: ?????]
ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Then you caught the anomaly bastard and tied it up right now???]
ㄴ[Ares: Because it tried to run away]
ㄴ[StudentCouncilTerrorist: Are you a real psycho, why did you catch it lololol]
[NightRat: Are you crazy??? Why would you catch an anomaly, you crazy bastard;;;]
ㄴ[Ares: I have a feeling it's not a bastard that's dangerous to me]
ㄴ[Ares: I felt like Lana would be fucked if I just let it go]
ㄴ[NightRat: Why are you worrying about Lana...]
ㄴ[NightRat: No, so what are you going to do now that you caught it]
ㄴ[Ares: What do you mean what am I going to do, it's dangerous to just leave it;;]
ㄴ[Ares: I caught it for now, so I'll hide it somewhere]
ㄴ[Ares: And I have to at least test how to make it disappear]

ㄴ[NightRat: Not you, I mean the anomaly bastard, you idiot]
ㄴ[Ares: No, fuck, why are you worrying about the anomaly instead of me;;]
ㄴ[LunchboxCollector: It's really fucking fucked;;]
I found an anomaly copying Lana's appearance.
Instinctively, I thought this anomaly was a threat to the person whose appearance it copied.
The thought that I shouldn't lose it crossed my mind.
Well…, Lana was an anomaly so it wouldn't matter if she died, but.
……Still, I didn't want that.
That was why I caught it.
"Now, where would be a good place to go?"
"Mmpph! Eueueup!"
Fortunately, I had duct tape in my bag.
Thanks to that, gagging its mouth and tying it up was easy.
However, there was a problem.
I couldn't take it to the dormitory like this.
"Where would be good…?"
"Mmmpphh!!"
