56 Thunder God at the back hill
After having Nojyaloli Fox guiding me to the shrine, I stood still with the confused feelings.
What……was that?
I had always thought that she was a problematic kid who’s too passionate in her cosplay, but……just now, she became like a fox……and entered the forest………
Is it my hallucination?
I’m sure of it, right?
First, something like meeting the Nojyaloli Fox deep in this hill is too absurd.
……In the first place, was it a dream?
Is it the thing called deceived by a fox………???
Just like that, when I was doubting the things I saw……a familiar voice can be heard behind.
「S-Serizawa-kun?」
When I turned towards the voice, I can see Kirishima-san running towards me. I also walk towards her, and call her out.
「I reached earlier, huh. Sorry because I got lost…」
「No…I should be apologizing. I didn’t…look at…my surroundings at all……!」
While breathing heavily, she apologizes.
「……To leave you behind like that. I am really sorry……even though I am supposed to be the guide……」
While casting her eyes down, she apologizes again.
Did she run all the way?
She’s dripping with sweat to the extent the sweats are trickling down from her chin.
It’s probably about 30 minutes we got separated.
Perhaps, did she realize that I was not with her considerably fast, and look for me?
Well, I was not that troubled.
I was only worried whether Kirishima-san reached the destination safely or not.
Well, there’s this fucking expensive battery, but the school should be blamed to ask a first year student to carry this.
In other words, the one who’s wrong is……that shitty gorilla. Well, after all, it’s something like that.
「It’s okay. I’m just slow. Anyway, where’s the power generation facility? Do we have to walk a little more?」
Because I don’t blame her at all, I changed the topic quickly.
「……Un. It is close from here. Follow me」
Somehow……
I feel like it’s much easier to talk to her now.
Leaving aside the correct choice, the distance between us has shorten a little for now. To that extent, it was fruitful to get stranded.
◇◇◇
「We are here」
Just like that, we reached the destination.
In front of me, there are 3 huts like 「dugouts」…just like what I saw in the history text book. Weeds grow thickly in the surroundings. A very tranquil scenery.
But we are supposed to go to a power generation facility, right…?
「Here is the place……?」
「Un, right」
No……no matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look like a power generation facility……
If I had to say, then it’s more like ruins or a village to experience the Joumon period.
Then, a man came out from the Joumon period-looking house.
A bearded large man.
………A Joumon man? A staff of the tourist facility?
I thought about that, but he’s wearing the Teihen High School’s uniform. That means, this person is…?
「Oh, you’re here. Welcome」
「Todoroki-senpai, glad to see you」
The bearded man called Todoroki-senpai, welcomes us with slow movement,
「Well, please have a seat. Over there is safe」
The man guided us to a strange space with has a metal-made round chair beside the strange black table and at a slightly distant place, there are several chairs made of the black table’s material.
And there are 3 metal pillars surrounding the table. As if the metal version of the stone circle that I saw in the occult program.
「Then, please sit there」
Saying that, he sat on the metal chair, and we sat on the black chair.
「We came here to charge the battery, but……」
「Ah, let’s do it right away. Please place the battery on the table」
Just as I’m told, I place the battery on the black table.
The moment I place the heavy battery on the table, there was no hard feeling, but just the shock of being sucked. What? It felt like rubber.
「Then, please sit there back. And also, it’s also better to close your eyes」
The man said that, and he takes out the battery’s terminal…
Batsun!!!!!!!!!!!
Bababababababa!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly, thunder resounds in front of me, and at the same time, flashes surged.
Without knowing what’s happening, I left my eyes open wide while standing still.
「Yosh, done. Please wait for a while」
About 10 seconds.
I was surprised by the instant happening.
Perhaps…………
Possibly………………
The 『power generation facility』 is………………
……This Joumon man?
「Thank you very much. And, about the sales……」
Saying that, Kirishima-san places the prepared paper on the table.
「70% of last month’s sale has been banked into Todoroki-senpai’s account. Apart from the first two digits, the remaining digits will be contributed to the student council’s budget as promised. Please acknowledge it」
Todoroki-senpai accepts the paper while brushing his beard.
「Ah, thank you. Even if you say that, I don’t even use the money in the bank, though! Hahahahaha!」
Todoroki-senpai laughs cheerfully.
I was curious of the digits, so I moved to his back and peeped at the sales slip.
The first two digits are 12, and the number of zeros are one, two, three, four……………………………………five, six………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………seven.
……………7 zeros.
「Last month’s………sale………??????」
「Ah, last month’s was slightly lower」
Is that so…………
My goodness. Slightly lower, huh.
Well, that’s………
By all means, please be my friend………
No, let me be your underling.
「Todoroki-senpai……………many thanks to your work. ……Are your shoulders stiff?」
Taking a natural conversation, I reach out to Todoroki-senpai’s shoulders.
「Ah it’s better if you don’t」
「………Eh?」
Bachin!!!!!!!
The moment I came close to touching his shoulders, electric current runs through my body.
「S-Serizawa-kun!?」
I heard Kirishima-san’s voice, and……I lost my consciousness.
Todoroki, the man who earns 100 million in just 10 seconds.
Convert to hourly pay…

Character File 047
NAME: Todoroki Gouki
CLASS: 【One who carries thunder (Thunder Holder)】S-LEVEL 3
A student of Teihen High School. Possess the Talent capable of releasing electric current from his body. He is always electrified. Therefore, people will get shocked if they touch him. Due to that constitution, he can’t carry any kind of electronics at all. In addition, because gasoline, kerosene and gas will catch fire, he is restricted from going to a human habitation as he may destroy everything when entering a shop. Therefore, he is living in the hill alone. He can’t even get on vehicles such as planes.
He dreams of driving a car around the town and do some window shopping.
The electric current contained in his body is too tremendous to the extent that it can’t be measured. If we talk about the amount of energy, if you connect him to the electric network, he should be able to supply electricity to tens of thousands of households, but because he can’t control the voltage properly, he may destroy the electricity supply network and substations.
Due to his Talent being very powerful, he is regarded as a potential threat. Therefore, he is isolated and monitored, but the person himself is mild.
Because he unconsciously enhanced his muscles with electricity, he can move at an absurd speed. Originally, he should be equivalent to a Level 4, but because there is a severe problem in handling it, he was evaluated as Level 3.
Because he can’t go to school, he is earning the credits through correspondence education. Currently, his fifth year as a second year student.

NOTE:
By the way, the battery is a present from the principal. It seems to be「a find」.
