63 – Exchange Meeting (3)
The place I was almost pushed back by Lizerote was near the special stage where the dance competition was held.
The exchange meeting’s dance competition will be held here, not at the gymnasium within the school.
Excluding the Moon Festival, it was the biggest event of the exchange meeting, so it was already crowded with people without a place to set foot.
It seems there is even a commentator.
Well, an event like this really needs someone to explain it to make it more enjoyable to watch.
I think this can be said to be efficient manpower deployment.
‘The high-ranking people also came out.’
Looking around, I see quite a few familiar people.
As expected, the person who draws the most attention is the chancellor Olberus at the far end.
Since he has such a heavy butt, he is an old man who treats even the cadets living in the same academy like fantasy species, so it is inevitable.
Are the deans of each department next to them?
In the original work, they were people whose faces didn’t appear as illustrations, so I didn’t know them well, but they look younger than I thought.
I thought he was about the same age as Olberus.
“President! Weren’t you able to come out today?”
The moment I settled down in the right place with Lizerote crawling out of the shadows.
A woman who appeared to be a second year cadet appeared with a bright voice hitting her eardrums from the side.
Judging from the person I don’t remember, he must be just an ordinary cadet.
“Hmm, I had some free time so I came out and watched it. I’ll be back soon, but I mean.”
“As expected, you are serious about the academy. But the man next to me… ?”
The girl who looked at me from the corner of her eye seemed to know that I was a freshman through my tie.
I don’t know if it’s a 2nd or 3rd year, but I’m curious about what kind of connection the 1st year, who is a distant junior, has with the student council president, who is considered the best among the students in the academy.
I was quite worried about the look in my eyes, but I decided to keep my mouth shut because I thought it would only complicate things for no reason.

Ligerote also looked at me and her other students, noticing that she couldn’t explain what to say.
“Ah… ! That’s right! I understood. Well, for that kind of thing, no matter how busy you are, you have to make time for it!”
Wait.
That human seems to have a serious misunderstanding.
On the other hand, Liserotte’s eyes only look bewildered as if she hadn’t eaten.
“What did that mean? I understand this body well….”
“Ah, it’s no use pretending you don’t know. I won’t spread rumors anywhere, so don’t worry and watch it. Enough!”
I put on a bewildered face at the behavior of an unknown sophomore who just said everything and fell for it.
Judging from how sloppy he was, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.
Right now, even today, annoying rumors are spreading throughout the academy.
The worst thing is that this little boy, who is the person in charge, is looking up at me with his eyes wide open without even knowing it.
“Did you understand what that junior colleague just said?”
Yes, I understand. Yes.
Rather, those idiocy-filled tears, as if I don’t know anything, are all the more amazing.
In the original work, he showed a fierce appearance except for his special field, but he is more surprising when he sees it in person.
“I think Rize-senpai who didn’t understand is amazing. You really don’t know?”
“It is not polite to treat people as fools. If you know, say it properly.”
She asked if she was trying hard to pretend she didn’t know because she didn’t want to be involved with me, but judging from the cold reply she got back, it seems like she really doesn’t know.
If you knew, you would never be able to ask me to tell you that fact.
When she didn’t tell me that, the mana power emitted by Ni Lijerote was unnecessarily enormous, and I had no choice but to open her mouth as I felt that her life was threatened.
“… They misunderstood that we were lovers. Perhaps Rize sunbaenim misunderstood that the reason why he took time out of his busy schedule was to be with me.”
I told you what I had inferred as calmly as possible, and the overflowing mana went back.
It’s like watching a swarm of ants startled by something and making their way into my house.
“Woah, lovers… ! What, what kind of absurd delusion did you mean!”
“Isn’t that what gossip is? Women of that age are bound to let their imagination run wild just by seeing a man and a woman together.”
I don’t know why I, at the age of 18, have to brag about this as if it were the truth of the world to a person in my 20s.
My head is pounding.
I’d rather have the news that Phantom or Sirius appeared right now, somewhere.
“Ah, that is an absurd rumor! Uh, the companion of this body, the ruler of darkness, was determined from birth to be the ruler of light! Where is the distant junior… !”
Wouldn’t it be heresy for a person called the ruler of darkness to date a ruler of light?
I don’t know what Lizé Rotte’s unique setting is, so I can’t even put her tackle.
What is the ruler of light in the first place? At least the ruler of darkness can be imagined, but does the word ruler of light fit?
One side protects the outside world, the other side protects the dark side. Something like this.
Anyway, it’s a story of a world I don’t want to delve into.
“Okay, let’s stop cawing and watch the dance. It will start soon.”
I tried to take a posture as a spectator at the words of the host of the martial arts event, which came from telecommunications outlets all over the place.
The problem is that Liserotte was still busy raising her hands and shouting as if she was about to hit me.
“Well, isn’t it all your fault! Even if I hadn’t asked for something like this, I wouldn’t want my body to be misunderstood like that… !”
It looks like a beggar, really.
That second year ago. I remember the face clearly.
I’ll pay back this debt in double next time. Damn.

Same time.
Aden moved her steps to join the person she was supposed to accompany in this dance competition near her main building.
This was one of the instructions Bell gave during this exchange meeting.
Carefully explore the area connecting the academy main building and the annex building with someone.
And it was decided that the accompanying person would be informed in advance by Bell.
The problem was that the plantation of the person called the companion seemed very uncomfortable right now.
“Why do I have to go out with you! That annoying commoner tricked me again!?”
The main character was Marie.
Even when Bell asked to meet her by designating a place for her appointment, I waited for today with high expectations, thinking it would be a real date this time!
The insane commoner was on fire at the thought that he had deceived himself with sweet words again and jumped elsewhere.
There was even an extramarital man standing next to him who hadn’t spoken much except when sparring.
It really can’t be the worst.
“Ahahahaha… Sorry. Miss Neloe.”
“… It’s okay, call me by name I’m called by that guy’s name anyway, but now I don’t have to worry about being called by commoners.”
Even as she looked Aden from top to bottom with a look of disapproval, she obediently agreed to her name.
However, under the premise that the title ‘sheep’ is still maintained.
Still, it was quite rare for Marie to allow this much to an outsider.
I could see that it was possible because the other person had met Aden often after school recently and had deepened his acquaintance with him.
Unlike her other stupid boyfriends, it was also quite satisfying that she didn’t reveal her eyes wondering what to do with her.
“Anyway, seeing that you are here, it seems that the commoner cheated again. What the hell is going on this time?”
“Did you not hear anything?”
“I don’t know. All I did was call me saying that we could go around the academy together.”
“… ….”
Thinking that one more word was not enough, Arden had to convey consolation to Marie.
If you hear it like that, it’s not strange that you misunderstand it from a woman’s point of view.
‘You didn’t discuss this incident with Miss Marie.’
Through that fact, Aden was able to realize that he was the only person Bell had talked to openly about the incident.
If Marie knew all about this, she wouldn’t be misleading by saying this, she would have just told her to go on patrol with Aden in preparation for an enemy raid.
‘But why is it Ms. Marie?’
However, as I thought about it, I also became curious.
Why did he send Marie and not another person?
It would be better to find someone else who can open up all about this case, and ask that person for help.
Of course, this was Bell’s point of view to reduce the variables of her original work, but Arden, who does not know that, cannot help but question it.
She would have nodded her head at least if she had been as outstanding as Elisha, but as Aden remembered, Marie’s skills did not reach that level.
‘Did I see something else?’
Then Aden was convinced that he must have seen through Mari’s ease as another military force that others had not seen.
She thought it would be possible if it was his insight that she noticed without even going to the vision in Igrexia.
“… What are you looking at so intently? Feel bad.”
“No. Nothing. Anyway, today, all you have to do is walk around the academy with me. I didn’t ask Bell because I had other feelings, so you don’t have to worry.”
“I know even if you don’t tell me. You can guess that much just by looking at the eyes.”
Nervously brushing off her pink hair, which is her pride, Marie said harshly, as if she didn’t need further explanation.
In the first place, Bell’s character she thinks is not someone who can help her with her love business or privately.
I’m sure this time, for some reason, he made such an unreasonable request.
He is a man who always lacks a word or two.
“I don’t really like my companion, but…. Well, good I’ll close my eyes for a day, so ask for an escort.”
“No, I will try.”
Arden did not dare to mention the truth that was about to come out of her throat, but she did her best to please Marie and move along with her.
When I glanced at Mari’s profile, it felt like she was very upset, so a smile leaked out for some reason.
Because I could guess what Marie wanted today.
