A short story depicting Hazama's thoughts as he first enters the school with his astral projected body. Hazama meets a Jack Frost in a black school uniform (Hee Ho kun) on the third floor of Karukozaka and is surprised Jack Frost doesn't know him, but it seems his existence as the Expanse's / Makai's Emperor is only being told as rumors and it isn't widely known. Hazama reminisces about his past, which includes the love letter, his mom leaving, and the infirmary. It's mentioned that the students started bullying Hazama after the love letter incident and eventually he couldn't take it anymore. He eventually got ahold of the DSP and decided even if he ended up being killed by a demon, it'd be okay, but he ended up gaining power through it in the end.

Hazama enjoys talking to the Jack Frost but he keeps trying to suppress this urge because it is "weakness," and he mentions the last time he talked to anyone was when he handed the love letter to Akiko a month ago.

Jack Frost wonders if Hazama is going to try to kill him over and over for experience points to level up, but Hazama says Jack Frost wouldn't be worth it because he wouldn't give much exp.

Hazama wonders what Jack Frost finds so fun about school so Jack Frost mentions he loves school because there's so many people there.

It's mentioned even though Hazama hated feeling rejected by everyone, he still loved the school and felt he had a place there, which is why he transported it to the Expanse.

Hazama says no one would ever see the real him unless he became an existence that was acknowledged by everyone, which made him want to become the Deity Emperor / 魔神皇, which Jack Frost doesn't get and says he just wants to hang out with friends and do naughty things (lit. Hなコト) with them.

Hazama starts laughing and crying and covers his mouth and curls up his body. Then Jack Frost leans his hand over to Hazama's head, but since it's just a projection, Jack Frost's cold hand goes through and falls down to Hazama's chest, which makes Hazama feel warmth. It was exactly what he wanted, but he makes up his mind to leave Jack Frost behind, who wanted to go with him and stay by his side.

When referring to his past self, Hazama uses "boku / 僕" and when talking about his current self, he uses "watashi / 私".
