Things at the school were actually going smoothly. A little too smoothly, in fact.

My “otaku training center” was wildly popular with the people of the Holy Eldant Empire. You would never have guessed there had been a terrorist incident there. We could only take so many actual students, obviously, but we had more and more children of local nobles showing up to “audit.” Even some adults were begging to get in. I was starting to wonder how I would deal with it all.

With Minori-san as my assistant, I was introducing the students to Japanese entertainment and otaku products by the armload. And the students, like Myusel and even like me in my youth, seemed to be on the fast track to serious otakudom. Was it the simultaneous interpreting? Was it just because they were young? Or did they have some innate talent? I didn’t know, but they were progressing far more rapidly than I had planned on.

“Good morning, everyone!” I said as I came into the classroom. Just like I always did. But today, the way the students reacted was different from usual. Maybe there had been signs that I had simply missed.

It’s true: change doesn’t always proceed in neat stages. Eventually you reach a tipping point, and everything explodes, like an allergic reaction.

“Senseiiiiiiiii!”

For a second, I thought someone was yelling at me. The voice was just that loud and passionate; it hit me like a slap in the face. I took an unconscious step back.

Immediately after the voice, a student came rushing at me.

“Yikes! Wh-What the—?!”

No sooner had I entered the classroom than I was being pushed out of it. I somehow managed to stop the backward momentum before I went stumbling out the door.

There were fifty students in the room, and they were all peppering me with questions.

“When is volume 13 of Pop Dragon going to get here?!”

“...Huh?” I said stupidly.

They ignored my befuddled response; if anything, the questions came even harder and faster. I thought they might tear me to pieces... Words like rioters, nerd tsunami, and the infamous East Hall on the last day of Comiket went through my mind.

“No, wait! What about our bishoujo games?! I want the new Hell Angel Lumière!”

“Sensei! Is it true that there’s a lost twelfth episode to the anime version of O-samurai Seven?!”

“Shut up! The real issue is, in the afterword to the latest volume of Asobi ni kita YO!, the author says he did a spinoff where the vice-captain is the heroine! Do you have it on your bookshelf already?!”

...And so on and so forth. They looked like news reporters trying to get a scoop, lobbing questions at me one after another. They were all shouting over each other, but the questions all came down to the same thing: “When is the new volume/issue/episode coming out?”

“Okay, hang on. Everybody just... calm down!” I said, fending them off with both hands. I guess everyone was starved for more manga and anime and games. “Just be quiet!” I said.

The room went silent, as if someone had flipped a switch.
