The girl's face turned red.
"Y-you pervert!!" Allen was pelted with random objects from the room.
Allen bowed.
"I'm sorry," he said while closing the door.
Not long after, the girl opened her door, now fully dressed.
"What are you doing in front of my room?"
Allen showed her his room key.
"Is this room 039?"
The girl looked at Allen with a cold glare, eyeing him from head to toe.
"What's your job?"
"Janitor."
The girl burst out laughing.
"This damn girl… should I teach her a lesson?"
Allen moved lightning fast.
"Eh? Where's the janitor?"
Allen looked inside the room.
"You really don't know how to take care of your room, huh? It's a total mess."
The girl was shocked.
"Since when did you—?!"
Allen pulled a wallet from his pocket.
"Are you looking for this, Rika?"
He raised his hand, showing Rika's student ID card.
Rika was speechless.
Without saying anything, Allen placed his things down and headed to the shower.
"What is with that guy?" Rika was still stunned by what she'd just seen.
That night.
The two sat at the same table, still awkward.
Allen ate his food.
"Um… I'm sorry about earlier," Rika said.
Allen glanced at her.
"It's fine."
Rika clutched her chest with her right hand.
"My name is Rika. My job is Beast Warrior."
Allen smiled.
"My name's Allen. Job: janitor."
Allen extended his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Rika."
They finished their meal and decided to go to bed.
"Umm…"
"What is it?"
"Is this bed… supposed to be for two people?"
"That's my roommate's bed. He's probably at work. He rarely comes home, so if you want to use it, maybe… it's okay… maybe?"
"Why do you sound so unsure?" Allen said, patting Rika's shoulder.
Then Allen realized something.
"By the way… your boobs are pretty small, huh?"
Rika fell silent.
A fiery aura surrounded her body.
"Hm? What's wrong?" Allen was confused.
"Allen, can you go stand by that window over there?"
Without thinking, Allen walked to the corner.
SYSTEM: DANGER DETECTED. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOW… STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOW.
SUGGESTION: ESCAPE FROM RIKA.
Allen ignored the system warning.
"Okay, I'm here," Allen said at the window.
Rika pulled out her magic staff and aimed it at Allen.
"W-wait, what are you planning to do with that?"
"DIE, YOU PERVY NPC!!"
BOOM.
Rika fired a massive explosion spell.
SYSTEM: YOU HAVE DIED FROM THE PREVIOUS ATTACK.
SKILL: REACTIVE EVOLUTION ACTIVATED.
"Ow! That hurts," Allen's voice came from the smoke.
Rika was shocked to see Allen still alive.
Allen looked behind him and saw the blast had been huge.
He raised his right hand and used earth manipulation magic without chanting.
After patching up the wall, he went to bed and instantly fell asleep.
"What the heck is this guy? Why is a janitor that OP?!"
The door opened. A red-haired girl entered the room.
"I'm home."
"Oh… welcome back, Stella."
Stella put down her things and patted Rika's head.
Feeling sleepy, Stella unknowingly laid down next to Allen.
"Wait…" Stella had already fallen asleep beside Allen.
Rika, also feeling sleepy, took off her shirt and went to bed.
The next morning.
Allen felt something soft in his hand.
When he opened his eyes, he froze with a dumb expression.
"Crap, I'm holding a boob."
He quickly pulled his hand away and headed to the kitchen.
He checked the food cabinet.
"Damn… how do they live off this instant crap?" he mumbled.
Allen cooked breakfast. Since he was once a corporate slave, he had amazing cooking skills.
Once the food was ready, he devoured it happily.
He then got ready for school and left the room, leaving a note.
Soon after, Stella and Rika woke up to the smell of food.
Allen walked toward his classroom, and as he passed a hallway, the system activated.
SYSTEM: DANGER DETECTED!!!
EVASIVE ACTION RECOMMENDED.
Allen was confused.
"This system's even noisier than the last one," he muttered.
"Watch out!!" yelled a girl with glasses, jumping from the stairs.
Her knee slammed into Allen's chin.
"DAMN IT!" Allen cursed.
They both fell.
"Ow ow," Allen groaned.
"Are you okay?" asked the girl who crashed into him. She had glasses and… even bigger boobs than Stella.
She reached out her hand.
Allen stood and brushed off the dust on his clothes.
She extended her hand again.
"My name is Kuroichi, the 5th generation student council president."
Allen was surprised at the unfamiliar name.
SYSTEM:
NAME: KUROICHI
STATUS: REINCARNATED
JOB: DRAGON SLAYER
GENDER: FEMALE
"Why are you just standing there?" Kuro asked.
"It's nothing. My name is Allen. Nice to meet you," Allen said, shaking her hand.
"You can call me Kuro," she smiled.
The school bell rang.
"Ah crap, I need to hurry or I'll get punished."
"Alright then, see you later," said Kuro.
They went their separate ways.
Fortunately, Allen wasn't late. He was in the same class as Stella and Rika.
He sat by the window.
Their teacher entered the room.
"Good morning, everyone. Today we'll learn about mana flow. But first, did you know we have a new student? Please introduce yourself, Allen."
Allen stood up.
"My name is Allen, from Quovar village. I'm 16 years old. My job is janitor."
The class burst out laughing.
"Alright everyone, let's begin," said the teacher.
Stella was shocked to see Allen in the same school.
But Allen didn't seem to recognize her.
After class, Stella approached him.
"Hey Allen, long time no see."
"Eh? Who?"
"It's me, Stella."
Allen paused.
"Sorry… have we met before?"
The room went silent.
Stella's body trembled. Her right hand clenched tightly.
"So that's it… I was too late to save him…"
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Stella burst into tears.
"I'm sorry… when I heard Quovar village was destroyed, I went on an expedition right away. Everything was leveled. No sign of life. But when I saw you, I was relieved… even though you have amnesia…"
She wiped her tears.
"If only I hadn't been late…"
Allen hugged her.
"Dummy. I was just joking… Stella."
Stella cried in Allen's arms.
"Yeah… I kept my promise."
