Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Cherry Blossoms, Willow Trees

"Mmm~mm!" Ameri realized she had unknowingly gotten sucked in. What a terrifying forbidden book!

"Since I can't read the words, I don't know what it says, but even without understanding the text, the pictures alone make my heart race… It looks like this girl is infatuated with this boy. To be infatuated just from bumping into someone, is this human charm?" Ameri began to struggle.

If Shesi had seen the book in Ameri's hand, he would have seen 'first love memories' written on the cover, priced at 3900 yen.

But at this moment, Shesi and Iruma were busy cleaning up the mess they had made.

Inside the Demon Biology classroom, Shesi and Iruma were sweeping up the glass that had fallen from the dome, which had been damaged by the trees.

Stolas Suki walked over and thanked both of them.

"Thank you for your help, Shesi-kun and Iruma-kun."

Iruma quickly apologized.

"I'm so sorry, this was our fault after all."

"No, no, this makes it more fitting for the name of the plant building. And it seems the students all really like it," Stolas Suki said, looking at the students who had come to admire the flowers.

Stolas Suki exclaimed,

"Iruma-kun's flower was already beautiful, but with She Si's flower, it feels like icing on the cake. Oh, She Si, why doesn't your flower have any blooms?" Stolas Suki asked She Si.

"It does have flowers, but their blooming period is very short. I simply prefer it when it's not in bloom. Whenever the willow branches sway in the wind, I feel it calms my heart," Shesi said, looking at the willow tree.

In his previous life, he loved to sleep under the willow tree in his old rural home. Whenever the wind blew and the willow branches swayed, a smile would appear on Shesi's lips.

"Is that so? It does give a sense of peace, doesn't it~" Stolas Suki said.

Suddenly, Iruma saw the cleaners nearby who were collecting trash from students admiring the flowers. He pursed his lips, then looked at Shesi and Stolas Suki.

"Brother, Teacher, I…"

Before Iruma could finish speaking, Shesi placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Let's go. Brother, don't I know what you're going to do? Goodbye, Teacher. We'll go help out first," Shesi said, putting his arm around Iruma and walking upwards.

Suddenly, Shesi seemed to remember something. He returned to Stolas Suki and whispered something in her ear. Stolas Suki first paused, then nodded, handed Shesi an item, and walked away. Shesi, having gotten what he wanted, returned to Iruma's side, satisfied.

Iruma also smiled, then said goodbye to the Teacher, and as they walked, he began talking to Shesi about the cherry blossoms.

The two walked up to the cleaners.

"Um, we'll help clean up too."

"Huh? Is that okay?"

"Then we'll accept your kind offer." When the two were led aside, they saw a mountain of trash.

"Honestly… I don't know where these beautiful trees came from, but so many students came to admire the flowers, which led to a lot of trash. My old bones are exhausted," the old cleaner said, tapping his waist.

"Uh…" Shesi and Iruma felt a little awkward.

"But still, it's truly beautiful. This old man has never seen such beautiful flowers in his life," the old cleaner said, looking up at the flowers.

"But could you please help us take these things to the dump over there? Please, we still have to deal with that pile of trash over there."

Iruma's passive skill, [Please], was triggered, and he immediately agreed to help.

"I understand!"

After the old cleaner left, Shesi and Iruma looked at the small mountain of trash, feeling a bit troubled.

"How do we get it over there?" Shesi frowned, looking at the pile of trash.

Suddenly, Shesi remembered the magic the Teacher used when he first met Clara, which transported him, Clara, Iruma, and Asmodeus to the lawn.

If he knew the incantation, given that both he and Shesi had magic, they should be able to make the trash fly over directly.

Just as Shesi was about to look for that Teacher, the trash mountain suddenly caught fire and burned at an astonishing speed. Soon, ashes appeared.

Asmodeus appeared behind the two.

"Asmodeus!" Iruma and Asmodeus exchanged a deep gaze. Shesi, seeing this, moved aside a bit, feeling something was off.

Asmodeus walked over and said,

"Although you told me to go back, for big and difficult matters, a friend should always be by your side!"

While the two were still talking, Clara ran over, carrying a pile of trash.

"Iruma-kun, look, look! I collected the trash!" Clara didn't watch where she was going as she ran and tripped over a stone. The trash flew directly onto Asmodeus and Iruma.

Because Shesi had moved aside earlier, he just barely avoided the calamity.

"Lucky," Shesi said, watching the scene.

The group worked until sunset.

"Alright, I'll take these things back. You two go ahead. Iruma, go get my school bag," Shesi said, picking up the tools, ready to put them away and leave, then instructed.

"Okay~ Goodbye, Lord Iruma, Lord Shesi." Asmodeus bid farewell to the two, then directly dragged Clara away.

"Don't stay here and bother the two Lords!"

"Goodbye, She Si-chin, Iruma-kun~" Clara, being dragged away, still waved goodbye to the two.

"Then, Brother, I'll wait for you at the entrance," Iruma said, then prepared to go to the classroom to get his school bag, while Shesi directly carried the tools and walked into the school.

Inside the Student Council room, Ameri suddenly realized,

"Hmm? It's already this late. At least this volume… I need to get up early tomorrow to protect Babyls." With that, Ameri stuffed the volume of 'first love memories' into her clothes and ran out.

At a crossroads in a hallway, both of them were walking inside.

Ameri thought about the book inside her clothes, muttering,

"I accidentally brought it out… No, this is for research, not because I want to take it home to read." Still engrossed in her imagination, she didn't notice Shesi, who had already reached the corner, and they directly collided.

Thump, the scene from 'first love memories' appeared: the male god and the girl bumped into each other. Shesi first froze for a moment, then subconsciously reached out his hand.

"Are you okay?"

PS: Short Play

Eiko and her friend were admiring the cherry blossoms under the cherry tree.

"Beautiful."

"Truly~"

Eiko looked at the cherry blossoms, lost in thought.

"Someday, I'll be with Iruma-kun~"

In Eiko's fantasy,

Iruma and Eiko sat side by side.

"Compared to flowers, I still prefer Eiko~ Just kidding~" He said, poking Eiko's cheek.

"Nah~ No way, Iruma-kun, really." Although Eiko said that, her body honestly moved a little closer to Iruma. Eiko was lost in her fantasy.
