“Do you remember what we said earlier? Come visit us anytime if you are interested. I’ll be waiting for you on the 3rd floor of the Student Union!”
“Yes, yes. Please go in carefully… … ”
I ate all the rice long ago, but he never thought of letting me go.
On the left, he touches his head like petting a dog, and on the right he babbles nonstop. The other is chatting next to Raylin-senpai. Laylin-senpai didn’t even think about stopping her, she just smiled. It’s only natural because he called it.
I don’t even know what I was talking about there. Is it right for me to become a beggar with my hair and clothes on just because I ate one meal? Is this really right… … ?
“I’m going to die.”
it’s green Totally fell out. I was more exhausted than the meeting in the morning.
I’d rather be alone, Raylin. I could have woken up just because I ate well. But since there were several people sticking together, I couldn’t do this or that, and it was very tasteful to die.
Senior Raylin… … I am very grateful and thankful that I want to take care of my juniors. After all, I don’t think it’s a style that doesn’t suit me by birth… …
I really need to go in and go to sleep. I didn’t have the energy to do anything else.
The moment when you get out of the restaurant where you have been held for over an hour and head to the dormitory in Building 1, rubbing your shoulders and neck.
“ah.”
“what.”
I ran into someone walking down the street right next to me. Rubia was in a state that was better than before, but it didn’t look completely good either.
Eyes filled with slight embarrassment.
I greeted lightly.
“hi.”
“Oh, hello. Ezio.”
Rubia shook her hand.
“Where?”
“A little walk with the kids… … ?”
If you encountered Rubia at this time, most of them were not alone.
just as expected.
There was Stella, who smiled shyly and nodded her head, and next to her was Yuri, who was looking at me with a very disgusting face.
right. A misunderstanding that was not a misunderstanding was still unresolved. I didn’t mention it in the first place because it wasn’t an issue that could not be discussed here.
To pretend to know him, he only slightly raised his hand, but Yuri slowly backed away with a small nod. Is that enough?
“I see.”
“Yes.”
I asked.
“By the way, next door?”
“… … ah.”
the one I turned my attention to.
There was a new face.
Usually Rubia, Yuri, Stellar. Most of the time, these three, who became close friends at the beginning of school, get along. Now one more has been added. A group of four people in total. When I asked that question while looking at the female student who seemed to be a new member, Rubia opened her mouth with a sigh.
“This is our class 13, Iris von Hegarde. It is said that she is the daughter of the long-established knight family of the Elden Kingdom.”
Number 13 is just above me and Gabriel.
I’m in the same class, so I’ve seen their faces a few times. But we’ve never had a conversation. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen much of what he’s talking about.
However, there seems to be a slight difference from the early Stella, it’s not that he’s shy and can’t talk about it. It seems like he doesn’t feel the need to open his mouth.
“Nice to meet you. You can call me Iris.”
“… … oh yeah Nice to meet you too. It’s Ezio Cranil.”
“Know. Ezio. I’m counting on you.”
You have a strange way of talking, my friend.
Without hesitation, he reached out his hand and held it face to face.
‘… … !’
Soon, I was a little startled.
It is quite small in size, but unlike its appearance, the hardness far exceeded my expectations. Although it seems to have been held loosely, the force that it feels is not unusual. Is he also a physical group like Gabriel? Being the daughter of a knight family, the way she speaks and the way she holds each other, it feels like a very restrained and well-forged blade rather than a rigid one.
Long, dark purple hair. The expressionless face that even has a solemn atmosphere makes it impossible to dare to question her origin, but somehow it seemed that the terrace of a quiet courtyard would be more suitable than in the middle of a tough battle like a burning battlefield. The firmness like a heavy iron gate is shown from the spirit of the whole body.
“If you come from a knight family… Don’t you learn swordsmanship?”
“normally.”
“But why didn’t I see you in the swordsmanship class?”
That’s it. I have no memory of seeing Iris in the lectures taught by Professor Abel Lioner.
“… … Still, it’s an immature skill. I can’t be seen by others. I think that becoming a knight is not something that should be done because he is shy.”
Maybe I can’t handle the sword as well as I thought. Even so, it is still questionable.
“Doesn’t that mean you need to be taught more? Much better than practicing alone in a gymnasium… … ”
Iris shook her hair short.
“no. Until the vision of the family has been fully passed on, no other swordsmanship can be applied to this body. All the efforts you’ve made so far will be in vain. So, I will at least complete the sword texture before being promoted to the second year course, and then ask for guidance when a new learning opportunity comes to me.”
I’m not sure what you mean, but it means that there is a school unique to the family. I didn’t know much about knights, so I had no choice but to do it. As I was nodding my head at the thought of that, Rubia suddenly sent me a worried look.
“Your complexion is not very good. Ezio. You look very tired. What happened?”
In fact, on a subject whose complexion is not that good. Still, I feel a lot better than before, so I feel a little more comfortable.
“Just a little. There are also separate assignments. There was also a time when I was exhausted from talking with seniors for a while at a restaurant. I was just going to go in and go to sleep.”
“Seniors… ?”
“yes. I’m one of the seniors who came to promote me to join the circle, and you’re a good person. The senior brought his friends and sat them at the same table as me, so… … I am tired in many ways. write.”
“Well, it was… … ”
He looked like he wanted to ask something more, but he shut his mouth.
“By the way, did you guys join the circle? First of all, I didn’t.”
Because the publicity wasn’t just me. The first to answer was Rubia.
“I am still I want to, but I haven’t decided yet. If I do, maybe I will do it in the field of magic… want.”
It would be okay to do circle activities as a hobby. How far do you want to be sincere?
“I, I… That’s good, of course, seniors too… I think it would be more comfortable to have a friend I know… I don’t have one yet. Wealth and field don’t really matter… Actually, I want to do something like astronomical observation… But there doesn’t seem to be anyone who can go in with you… … ”
It was Stella’s. astronomical observation. it’s like stella Who do you want to go in with? He seems to be looking up at me secretly, but I’m sorry, but I don’t have any thoughts right now.
Perhaps he vaguely noticed the answer according to my shaky reaction, and he became noticeably paler. no, what Can we do it separately to see the stars together? like I did last time.
The questions I started with flowed naturally to Yuri. Yuri, who didn’t seem to want to open a word in front of me, looks at Rubia, Stella, and Iris instead of me, as if she’s never talking to me, and jokingly speaks.
“… I think there is a travel circle. It’s a circle that travels all over the continent on vacation or something like that, so I’m thinking about that. At that time, if possible, I want to take you along with me. Everyone goes home and if there is nothing to do, we go on a long trip together. Hold me for a long time and play with me. I think it will be a lot of fun.”
“Yes. It’s gonna be fun. Are you going to put that on me too?”
“Uh, what? it’s crazy? Why are you meddling in women’s gatherings!”
“I’m joking, man. Do you really want to go?”
“No, don’t say that even as a joke… … it’s really disgusting Who wouldn’t be that bad… … ”
It’s hard to say. this little guy
He seemed to get goosebumps just by imagining going on a trip with me, smiling at the glass that wrapped around his shoulders. I need to clear up the misunderstanding about the last unfortunate incident with him, but I don’t think I’m so disgusted with him that I just didn’t say a word. It may be easier to solve than you think.
Then someone muttered.
“Um, I… I’m fine… ?”
“… … ?”
It was Rubia who opened her mouth carefully.
“Mmm, what?”
“Woah, I’ve been to a lot of trips with Ezio when I was young… Wouldn’t it be ok to use a separate room? … ”
“It’s not like that… All right, yes. Rubia, you are the exception. But I just want to go with you guys. Not him!”
Yuri pointed at me and shouted Barak. Rubia, who was looking at that figure, said, “Hehehe,” and only scratched her cheeks.
“And tell me. It’s not a problem to be solved just because Rubia is okay alone. Even just for Stella right now… … ”
“… … I think I’ll be fine… yo. this?”
“… … ?”
“?”
mosquito-like. However, when a voice that was clear enough to be heard by us came out of Stella’s mouth, Yuri opened her mouth and made an expression wondering if I had heard it wrong.
Furthermore, it was not only Yuri who was surprised by Stella’s sudden announcement of ok, and even Rubia tilted her head. Then, with a slow motion, he glances back at me. It was kind of a blank face.
“Gee, really… ? No, are you kidding me?”
“… … ”
“Oh, I can’t believe it… You guys, it’s really okay to sleep under the same roof as this guy… … ?”
I fluttered like I was sorry.
“That… Your side is all gone, Yuri.”
“You are quiet!”
drain off.
“Uh, how come this… No, Stella, why are you… ?”
“Isn’t it natural that the more close people there are in the party, the more enjoyable the trip is… ?”
“No, that would be true. Is he a man? And not friendly! Stella, you’re not close with him either… ?”
Why is your face so desperate?
Stella smiled faintly.
“Ezio-san has been very nice to me… ?”
“… … ”
He didn’t seem to want to tell the truth yet.
This was happening because Yuri did not know the situation between Stella and me.
Glass that has been hit hard and hardened like a stone in place. He looked as if he had been betrayed by his trusted friends. So is it that much?
but tell me
It hurts my heart a little just listening to it.
“I am here. this guy If you say that out loud, no matter how much you say it, you will get hurt. Did you ever think that I was the only one who was friends with you?”
“… … Shit, it’s noisy. Isn’t that a problem now?”
Yuri, who refused to answer, bites her lip.
“Yeah, yes. Iris will also go with us on a later trip. Iris is… … ”
At this point, the mournful barrage of questions that had turned into Yuri’s side, with nowhere to go from the initial intention of asking a light question, entered Iris, the remaining one.
“… … ”
Said Iris, who opened her eyes once.
“… Sometimes you need time to catch your breath, but unfortunately it seems like an impossible plan for me right now. I don’t know when it will be, but the trip goes with you guys. I am sorry.”
“That, that… … ”
At first, I had no intention of traveling.
The empty eyes of Yuri, who had no place to go, rolled towards me. As she smiled with her arms crossed, Yuri, who had been shaking her shoulders, clenched her fists as if she was making up her mind to do something. What are you going to do?
“You, you say. I think it’s because you don’t know what Don’t be fooled. That shouldn’t be the case. Hey, do you know what he did last time? The handkerchief I washed—— Oops! Whoa!”
“OK. up to there.”
Instinctively, she shut Yuri’s mouth, blocking the spread of unhelpful rumors.
crossing the line That’s not it.
“Uh-huh—!”
“sorry. I’ll take him for a second. Look at your work.”
To tell the truth, it was an undeniable situation on my part, so I suppressed Yuri, who was struggling to open her mouth somehow, quietly raised one hand, gave a polite greeting, and dragged Yuri to a corner of the street.
