"I got too excited. ......

　The next day.
　The next day, as I was heading to school, I was feeling a bit sorry for myself.
　Yesterday I had continued to use magic as long as I had time and my image, but in the end I had run out of magic power.
　From what I read in the wise man's book, the loss of magic power can be recovered after some time, but it is not something to be praised.
　This is because the loss of magic power makes the body feel languid at once. It's just too much.
My body was so lazy that I could barely stand up.
　If this happened in battle, I would have been killed in an instant.
　There was something else that bothered me as well.
　It was one word written at the end of the book: .......

It was written at the end of the book: ----. "Now, since what I have told you so far are the results of research I have found, do not assume that they are widespread, and think carefully about where you use the knowledge you have gained.

　That's what it said.
　...... From the way I read this sentence, I guess the content of the book left by the sage is not common.
　I don't think so, but it's heretical!　I don't want to be told that I'm a heretic, and I'll be careful.
　The number of dangers and things to be careful about has increased so far, but it wasn't all bad.
　I found out that among the effects of the rare drop item, the portable bath set, it is possible to produce a hot spring that promotes the recovery of magic power!
　Well, that drop item was the best hit!　I can't do without it anymore!
　The toothbrush also worked like a charm, leaving my mouth feeling fresh and my teeth really clean and white. And it felt so good to brush.
　My expression relaxed as I remembered how good the toothbrush and bath felt.
　As I walked to school in this state, I felt more eyes on me than usual.
　And it was mostly girls who were looking at me.

"Hey, hey!　Isn't that the guy from the magazine?
"No way!　That's not the uniform of the Royal Star Academy!
Isn't he even cooler than in the picture?
"Thank you, thank you, thank you.

　For some reason, some people were looking at me and worshipping me. Is there someone behind me?　What's so scary about that?
　When I became aware of this, I instantly felt a chill run down my spine, so I headed for the school to escape.
　As I walked down the corridor, I couldn't help but notice that many people were looking at me and whispering, which only made my doubts grow. What is it really?　...... Maybe you have your zipper open?　...... No, I'm fine.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm not sure what to do.
　As I sat down in my seat in the classroom, Kaede came over to me excitedly.

"Oh, Yuuya-kun, Yuuya-kun!　Good morning!
"Good morning. How are you?　What's wrong?
I'm always fine.　I'm fine all the time.
"What?

　Suddenly, Kaede put a magazine on my desk.

"Here!　This page!　I'm not sure what to make of it.
"Oh, it's true. The book has been released. ......

　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　...... Just when was this photo taken?
　The magazine featured a picture of me and Miu chatting happily on a bench.
　But when we were posing under Hikaru's direction, this scene was ...... ah.
　It was taken when Miu and I were talking about modeling and professions. ...... That's why there was no shooting after that.
　In the end, I was happy with the result because I was able to smile naturally in this photo.
　It's a good thing that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

"Huh~...... you're really Yuuya-kun by the looks of it...... this picture is really good~
"Really?　Thank you. But the photographer was really good. And Miu is also amazing. ......
No, no, no!　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that if I were you. I was so nervous, both in my face and body.
　While we were having this conversation, Ryo and Shingo came to school, and as soon as they saw me, they jumped at me with great speed.

"Hey, Yuuya!　You're in big trouble!
What's the big deal?
Yeah, you've even been featured on TV recently!
"What?

　I could only make a dumb sound at Ryo's words.
　I'm on ......?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's true. It's true. ...... says who is the man in the picture with Miu, a model who is rapidly gaining popularity.
............ Really?
Seriously. Here.

　Ryo showed me a piece of news from a video site on his phone.

"---- So who is the man in the picture with Miu?
Is he some kind of supernova that just appeared out of nowhere?
Yes. It's not only her appearance, but also her aura that can be felt even from the photo!　I can't believe she's not just a newcomer, but an ordinary person!
I can't believe you're not just a newcomer, but an ordinary person!" "It's a wonder there hasn't been some kind of fuss about this!

　I was stunned when I saw the video.


　Is this ...... really me?　Not another person?

From the looks of ...... Yuuya, he was the only one who didn't know. ......
What? How is that possible?
But, Yuuya, you're completely frozen. ......

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I'm talking about, but I remembered how many eyes were on me this morning.

I'm sure you're not the only one.
I'm not sure what to say. The girls are all talking about you, Yuuya!
The moment I said that, the three of us were in the same room.

　The moment I said that, the three of them looked as if they had been caught off guard.

What's wrong?　What's wrong?
"Well, let's see, ...... Yuuya?　Are you serious about what you just said?
Yes.

　Thanks to Hikaru, I can see it somehow, but it's not like I can see my normal smile.

Yuya, ......, don't you have a very low self-esteem?
I'm not sure if that's true.　I think it's fair. ......

　I've lost a lot of weight and my body has changed a lot, but my face is still the same. ...... I mean, I don't like myself.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　I don't know how many times I've wanted to quit this kind of body. The fact that Yota and Sora, who share the same bloodline with me, were blessed with good looks only made it worse.
　That's why I don't like me that much.
　...... Well, unlike before, I've somewhat upgraded my rank from 'I completely dislike you' to 'I don't like you that much'. This is also thanks to the level up in the other world.
　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

"Yuuya. I don't know what happened to you, but what would you do if you didn't recognize you?
What?
No matter what, you have to admit to yourself that ...... you are the only one who can protect yourself in the end.
......

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

...... Well, you can take your time. We'll help you.
"I don't know, but ...... leave it to me!
"If you don't know what you're doing, don't leave it to us. ......
Ryo, don't worry about the details!
I'll help you. I know exactly what it's like to be unsure of yourself.

　...... This school is really full of warm people.
　The three of them warmed my heart with their words.
