Fear

The Edge Of The Clockwork Horizon: Chapter 5: Fear

第三単

「Here is Marin Class, Kazuma-sama. School hours ends at 12:30, please enjoy your class and if you have some inconveniences, please talk to me or my sister. Enjoy」 Miori lead me to Marin class, inside the classroom there was about 15 students inside. Some were chatting to each other and some were quietly idling on their seats. Before I entered the classroom, Miori came back to me while catching her breathe, she must have ran back to me, 
「I forgot to tell you, Kazuma-sama. In this academy, you need to be in one club. We have many varieties of Clubs, judging from your appearance and personality I have seen in the past few days I recommend for you to go with Magic Investigation Club. If you have problems with it, feel free to search the variety of clubs out there. Have a nice day, Kazuma-sama」Miori bowed down to me and walk away. After I couldn't see Miori's figure anymore, I went in the classroom and sat on the empty desk with my name on it. I leaned on my right hand and waited for the teacher to some in the class. 

After a few minutes fo waiting, a lady wearing a black female office uniform and a piano black tight skirt, her hair was long dark brown straight hair. She has a black bunny ear on her head and a fluffy bunny tail on her back, 
「Everyone, you may have noticed that we have a new friend here today. Kazuma-kun, can you introduce yourself to the class?」She made a peace sign and smiled at me innocently, 
「My name is Kazuma Kamine, I am 17 years old. I am good at studying, cooking, basically I am good at everything but my big sister always gets better at me. My hobby is picking up girls!」After I finished, I bowed down and sat down on my seat while every girl in the class staring at me, 
「Oh my, oh my~~~ Kazuma-kun, you're totally my type...Call me?」She winked at me, 
「I will be honored to do so, please tell me your cellphone address!」I replied to her, 
「My name is Usamin, I'm a human bunny cross, do you still want me?」She asked me while she took out her flip phone which was tucked in between her chest, 
「I don't mind! Usamin-sensei!」I exclaimed. Right after I exclaimed, I started to hear the students in the class whispering together, 
「Finally, someone is weird enough to accept Usamin-sensei. Kazuma, a fearful man but good job」
「Kazuma-kun is a really bold man」
「Kazuma Kamine, I am proud of you」
「(These people are weirder than me, it looks like I will get along with these people)」

･･･・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

The class ended with just the class talking about nonsense and nothing about learning Spells or something that we needed to know. It was already pass 12:30 when the bell rang. Everyone stood up from their seats and went out of the classroom without carrying their bags with them, 
「Where are you guys going?」 I asked one of the guys going out of the classroom, 
「To the gy-」Before he could finish hos sentence, a girl screamed, 
「Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Someone stole my underwear!!!!!」Right after I heard the girl screamed, I saw something through the window of the classroom. When I went to check it out, it was a small fairy like creature flying with a pink stripes underwear. After seeing that fairy, I jumped out from the window and into the bush once again then started to chase it.

The fairy went inside the forest slowly, probably because she was carrying an underwear 5 times bigger than her own body. Since it was flying slowly, I managed to catch her a few minutes after I entered the forest. When I caught it, we were near the statues for The God of Clockworks, the two statues for the two generations were back. In front of the statues were two girls that looked similar to Miori and Minori's figure and face but not their hairstyle. One has a tomboy-ish short dark green hair and the other one has a long straight light green hair. 
「Nee-sama, It changed again. Kurogane's statue appeared once again, we only need to kill the third generation」
「I understand Kyou, I already sent the letter to the person I judged to be the Third Generation」

I accidentally heard their conversation. I immediately felt scared, my body was shaking out of fear. The moment I knew someone was trying to kill me....someone was trying to kill me over something I didn't even want. I never wanted to be The God of Clockworks, he tricked me into this business. I bit my lip as the cold sweat flow out from my forehead and the strength on my knees. I leaned on the tree beside me to support me, my stomach feels heavy. 
「I ......can't......breathe」I heard voice coming from my hands where I trapped the fairy in. When I slowly opened up my hands, the fairy wasn't in there instead there was a silver pocket watch with a really fancy engravings of a fairy on the lid. 
「Where did it go?」I tried to search quietly for the fairy but was unable to find it since the two were still talking to each other so I couldn't make a move.

「Damn it....」
