The vice principal spits out the candy and begins to thrash about, clutching his throat.

 

“Gghhh! Gghhh! Gghhhh! Gooooooooooooo!!!?”

 

The students who had flocked to the candy sales flee if the tide has turned.

 

It is a complete business obstruction.

 

Kurumi is just frightened.

 

“Wh-what’s wrong with you, vice principal?”

 

The Vice Principal grabs Kurumi by the shoulders as she crouches down to help her up.

 

And he crawls up as if he is coming up from the depths of hell to stand.

 

“How dare you make me eat garbage? ……!”

 

Kurumi is so frightened that she tries to run away, but the vice principal grabs her by the shoulders and wouldn’t let her go.

 

He approaches the dust-covered face as if to cover it and whispers softly,

 

“I’m changing the name of this candy right now ……! Yes Man Gekko Candy. ……! If you do, you will have much happiness. ……”

 

Kurumi asked in a shaky voice, “…… happiness? “

 

The vice principal suddenly says in a cat-like voice.

 

“Yes,……! I’m going to give you a prize ……! And one of our supporters is a top-notch pastry chef. ……! I will recommend you to that person. ……!”

 

“Wait, you’re recommending me to a top-notch pastry chef ……?”

 

“Yes, ……! If that happens, you’ll have your own store in the future, and you’ll be showered with honor and money. ……! Your future will be all rosy. ……!”

 

“Eh, well, you know… ……”

 

Kurumi pauses to think for a moment.

 

She is just scared of the sudden change in the attitude of the vice principal.

 

“I’m sorry, but I have to decline. …… This candy is from Leo…. huh?”

 

He clutches her shoulder, and Kurumi’s words are cut off by the pain.

 

The head teacher’s voice changes and begins to sound threatening.

 

“If you refuse, then many misfortunes will come your way. ……! You will be scolded by your teachers, you will flunk your tests, your classmates will ignore you, and you will not get any recommendations. ……! The store you finally open goes out of business, ghosts live in your house, and you’re in debt ……! Your future is going to be black and gray. ……!”

 

Kurumi is a timid girl, and the vice principal thinks that he could win her over by threatening her.

 

As proof, Kurumi can’t stop shaking.

 

The sky is cloudy at the time, and the girl is shrinking as if she has been thrown out into the winter mountains.

 

However, light shines through the clouds, and the “RPG Candy” lined up at the sales counter begins to glow.

 

The glow was reminiscent of the candies the boy has made.

 

That light is the sun for the girl.

 

Kurumi looks up and says crisply.

 

“I refuse to accept ……! This candy is a very important recipe that I learned from Chef Leopin! To me, Chef Leopin is much greater …… than a top-notch confectioner! Of course, Chef Leopin is much greater than the vice principal ……! And to me, he’s more important than anyone else!”

 

“Kki …… kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!”

 

As soon as he said the name “Leopin”, the vice principal screamed like a vampire with a stake in his heart.

 

He lets go of Kurumi’s shoulders, which he has gripped so tightly, and backs away as if in agony.

 

The vampire head seems to have failed to suck the blood.

 

“Guugigigi! Guugigigi! Guugigigi! If this happens, I’ll take the last resort.”

 

The head teacher put his hand into the pocket of his tuxedo and took out a certain thing.

 

……Baa!

 

There were two tickets that were from Kurumi.

 

The value is 1,000 for both.

 

A girl with her bangs hanging down is depicted as a portrait with her head lowered.

 

“That’s ……!” Kurumi said.

 

“Yes, it is! That’s the ticket you paid for when you bought the sugar in the purchasing department! I didn’t want to use this hand, but… I’ll use this ticket to command you!”

 

“Aah!” The people around them buzzs.

 

“Oh, hey, it looks like the vice principal is giving orders with the ticket!”

 

“I didn’t know teachers were allowed to use those!”

 

“What the hell is he trying to order us to do, ……?”

 

The vice principal’s face twists into a grimace, and he takes advantage of the opportunity.

 

“Everyone should be watching closely, but I’ll tell you! The moment when the students who were deceived by the garbage wake up! By the power of my justice!”

 

He raises one of the tickets to the sky.

 

“The effect of the “Slave Ticket” is activated! I order you, Kurumi of Class 1-16!”

 

With the open hand, he points at Kurumi as if to pierce her.

 

“From now on, you are forbidden to approach Leopin-kun of the Special Training Class!”

 

“Ooohhhhhh!”

 

The crowd of screaming is boiling.

 

“It’s the …… Leopin ban!”

 

“Does that mean I can’t go near Leopin for the rest of my life?

 

“Doesn’t that hurt or itch you, ……?”

 

“I don’t think so! Look at this kid’s face, Kurumi! She looks desperate, like the world has gone to hell!”

 

The face of Kurumi, standing there, looks like paper.

 

It is as if the head vampire has sucked all the blood out of her face and she is completely drained of blood.

 

The head teacher is completely enthused by the reaction of Kurumi and the crowd.

 

In a fit of pique, he adds an extra word.

 

“If you break this ban, Kurumi-san will be expelled!”

 

The ticket held up by the vice principal disappears in a fizz like a soap bubble.

 

This is a sign that the order has become effective.

 

“Ooohhhhhh!”

 

The crowd boils over again.

 

“Oh no, they’re going to ban me if I go near Leopin!”

 

“Isn’t that really bad? If he comes, we have to run, don’t we?”

 

“Apparently so! Look at this Kurumi girl’s face!”

 

“It’s like the world turned into heaven. …… Huh?”

 

There is a great deal of talk about this.

 

The girl in the middle is still trembling.

 

But the trembling does not come from fear or sorrow.

 

It is a cry of gratitude and joy that reminds her of her unexpected happiness. ……!

 

“Oh …… thank you! Thank you!”

 

The girl bows her head so hard that her body brakes in two.

 

The vice principal said, “What?”

 

The girl’s cheeks turn rosy instead of regaining their bloodiness.

 

“I’ve been struggling with this all day! All my classmates have come to need me! I was so happy about that. …… In my heart, I always wanted to train more in pastry making under Chef Leopin! The head teacher pushed me, didn’t he? He told me to flap my wings to make my dreams come true. ……!”

 

The girl opens her arms like a baby bird taking off for the first time and dashingly declares.

 

“I’m going to Chef Leopin right now and I’m going to be expelled! I’m going to join the “Special Training Class” and stay by Chef Leopin’s side until I graduate. ……! No, we will be together forever ……!”

 

“Ki Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?!?”
