Chapter 74: Fear, Seven Wonders and Anime song

On a night where an eerie atmosphere hung over the school building, it was natural for fear to arise when entering such a place. The warm summer breeze only added to the sense of dread. However, this group of five people seemed different...

They entered the school building, playing anime songs at a moderate volume...

"I still love the opening theme 'Traditional Sanctuary' from 'The Failure of Magic Academy.'"

"Yes, especially how it starts calmly and then bursts into a feeling of liberation."

"Exactly! And when the opening theme ends, all the main characters come together! That's so great!"

"Karen-senpai, can you name all the main characters that appear in that part?"

"Of course! There's Teru-kun and Mari-chan..."

Among the five, a man with a fritter-like appearance and a beautiful red-haired woman were discussing the illustrations in the anime's opening. The red-haired woman smoothly listed the names of the characters.

"Come on, you two, don't talk about things I don't understand! It's not fun at all!"

"Alright, alright, let's calm down... I'm glad, though. With this atmosphere, it doesn't feel scary at all..."

A silver-haired beauty puffed her cheeks and scolded the other two. Meanwhile, a yellow-haired beauty stopped her, seemingly finding this atmosphere convenient for something.

"What is this... There's not a trace of tension in this night exploration..."

The green-haired beauty murmured as she observed the scene. Indeed, it was evident that this atmosphere was far from what one would expect from a night exploration or a test of courage.

Nevertheless, the girls continued to explore the school building.

Fufufufu, there probably aren't many people in the world who would play anime songs and do a test of courage inside the school building at night like I do. Thanks to that, I'm not scared at all... I bet Kikawa Moegi is feeling light-hearted too.

"The first of the seven wonders is to ask, 'Hanako-san, are you there?' in the second stall of the girls' bathroom on the second floor, right?"

"That's right... Oh, now it's the second opening of 'The Failure of Magic Academy!'"

As they were talking, the first season's opening song, 'Traditional Sanctuary,' ended, and the next song began to play. Just at the faint sound of the new song, Hihara Karen reacted.

"That's correct. It's 'Traditional Sign.'"

"The first opening of the second season is 'Traditional Perfect,' and personally, I think 'Traditional Perfect' is the best... Ah, but maybe 'Traditional Elegant' from the second season's second opening is the best after all."

"Enough! Please, you two, stop talking! It's not fun at all!"

"Do you have a strong attachment to something traditional in that work?"

Gindou Kohaku made a wall between me and Hihara Karen, seeming uninterested in the conversation, and Kikawa Moegi chimed in with a retort about the 'Traditional' topic. However, I'm glad she doesn't seem scared. This should maintain her dignity.

During this first event, they hadn't spoken this much before.

"Why do I have to go along with something like this?"

"I also wanted to catch up on the anime I missed, so don't complain!"

"Now, now, both of you, calm down... Hiii, the window shook!"
