Chapter Title: Sorry, I Thought It Was a Room for Same-Sex People
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Sorry. I thought it was a room for same-sex people, so I was careless."
I woke up clutching the back of my throbbing head.
Looking around, I saw I was in a bed in the dorm room at the field trip site.
I was alone in the room. At the end, Lia had said she'd keep my exploits under wraps and then knocked me out.
"Ah, Ian. You're awake?"
Right then, the door burst open with a bang, and Chayuri Floridel's voice rang out.
Warm, humid air wafted in, carrying a pleasant fragrance.
Chayuri had emerged from the shower in the room. He must have just finished washing up.
But,
"Wh-what are you doing!"
I blurted it out upon instinctively glancing at him, then squeezed my eyes shut in panic.
Chayuri, fresh out of the shower, was wrapped only in a towel—stark naked underneath.
How the hell had he been hiding that figure all this time?
"Sorry. I thought it was a room for same-sex people, so I was careless."
"No, you're a girl! We're not the same sex!"
"I see. But so what? You've already seen everything, haven't you?"
"Well, that's true, but..."
Chayuri showed no hint of embarrassment despite putting on such a display.
Was it his personality, or because he used to live as a guy?
Something about the atmosphere felt subtly different somehow.
"So, what happened? Why am I lying here?"
"That's what I want to ask you. What went down after that? Why did His Excellency the Archmage Duke suddenly..."
I must have passed out, and then the Archmage Duke arrived.
Lia seemed to have left. I probably wouldn't see her again in the real world. It left a strange emptiness in my chest.
"Never mind. Wash up and come out first. Assembly time is soon."
"Assembly time?"
"His Excellency the Archmage Duke's representative and the new principal will explain the situation. The cadets are to regroup after freshening up."
New principal? They'd already appointed one?
Just as Lia said, the Archmage Duke was handling the academy's aftermath.
The cadets must have been baffled by the sudden events, so this was to fill them in.
"Got it."
I'd probably hear what happened after I blacked out at the assembly.
I headed into the shower to clean off the grime before going.
And naturally, while showering, I logged into the gallery.
It felt like forever since I'd last checked in.

"Huh? What's this?"
The last time I'd checked the gallery was right before escaping the underground prison.
After that, with Professor Jewri's sacrifice, waking FlapFlap, and everything else, I hadn't had a chance.
I'd figured the gallery would be on fire after I tossed that bomb and dipped.
But the post titles veered off in a direction I hadn't expected.
And I found the reason in a post from a few hours ago.

"Fuck. You said you wouldn't post."
FlapFlap had posted that selfie of us.
He'd just dropped the pic and skipped the resolution details, leaving the gallery even more ablaze.
He'd dumped all the annoying cleanup on me.
"Might as well spill everything."
I was seriously pissed and tempted to reveal that FlapFlap had been captured by the taboo mage.
But I stopped myself. He'd kill me if I did.
Especially since he knew we were in the same dimension now.
It was good to get help, but having a gallery user in the same world led to crap like this.
At least it was a dragon uninterested in human affairs.
"This post is gonna be long."
I needed to post what happened on the gallery.
And honestly, I wanted to.
Though FlapFlap helped, the enemy was massive.
This time, I'd handled a huge chunk myself.
They'd be shocked seeing my growth.

[Did she cum hooooo~?!]
I'd put out the immediate fire.
At least I'd shaken off the ridiculous dragon fucker label.
I took a breather and began sorting events into a new post.
Captured by Professor Neyk, woke in underground prison,
Teamed with Professor Jewri to escape,
Escaped thanks to sacrifices from Professor Jewri and Nayu,
Faced the principal, flew on broom to FlapFlap,
With FlapFlap's help, smashed the principal and fully neutralized the threat.
I roughly wrote it all up and posted.
Even "roughly," it was pretty long.
For events in just one day.
Maybe the emotions woven in stretched it out.
"...What? Why no reactions from these guys. Too long?"
Minutes passed after posting, but no comments.
Too long? But archmages read fast.
-Ian? Assembly soon!
Chayuri called from outside; I'd been in the shower too long.
Nothing for it. Time to finish up and dry off.
As I reached for a towel, ding—a comment notification.
Once the first hit, they poured in like a dam burst.
And those tons of comments? Totally different from what I'd expected.
I'd braced for jokes, but...
"..."
A surge welled up in my chest.
Something trickled from my eyes.
Must be water. Still hadn't dried off from the shower.
