Chapter 65: Small Tour
"Ely, why are your hands so cold?" Evelyn turned her head to look at her friend carefully as she grasped Elysia"s cold hands to warm them again.
Not having time for Elysia to answer Evelyn, three people suddenly caught up and one of them blocked their way.
"Elysia, Evelyn, if you want to tour the school buildings for today then let us guide you. Even though there are maps, it"s easy to get lost. Introduce, this is my little brother Fran Reinhard and she is Bianca Wilkinson." Rosie suggested and introduced the two people who were with her.
"Greetings."
"Nice to meet you."
Fran and Bianca greeted and responded well by Elysia and Evelyn, but the latter seemed a little unhappy this time because their arrival made her unable to find out what happened to Elysia.
"Sorry, but we don"t feel comfortable if it will bother you and take up your time." Evelyn tried to refuse gently.
"We"re not bothered, really. We"re very free and have nothing to do, right?"
Rosie motioned for Fran and Bianca to help her convince the two girls. She ignored the fact that she was free only because she had postponed meetings and a.s.signments for student council members for tomorrow.
"That"s right, we"d better be with you because lately there are a lot of seniors who often hara.s.s first graders about extra-curricular matters."
Bianca can"t help but have to help Rosie. Meanwhile, Fran just nodded like a woodp.e.c.k.e.r, he was not very good at talking much let alone convincing people.
"Lil Ely, this girl called Rosie is already after you. She may still think you are Alisha. Don"t be afraid and go back to your normal self, I"m here, okay? Your mind is clear but your body is cold. Don"t be too stressed and nervous, we just need to respond to what comes our way, I"ll help you. "
Elena"s words made Elysia realize that her body was getting cold out of control. Therefore, she closed her eyes for a moment and opened them again. What can be seen on the outside is only she blinked but at that moment her body was warm again.
"We..."
"Then we will trouble you, please take care of us." Elysia immediately interrupted Evelyn who still wanted to refuse the invitation from the student council president.
"Hehe... That"s good, then we"d better start from the central main building as a starting point." Rosie invited cheerfully.
Evelyn could only stay with her current situation, but she had decided to ask again later in the dorm room.
The five of them immediately headed to the central main building for Rosie to cheerfully introduce Elysia and Evelyn to the various rooms and important places there.
The group of five really caught the attention of the other students who saw them, but none of them dared to come and bother because Rosie was there as a cheerful guide accompanied by Bianca and Fran. They could only wonder who the two girls they had taken with them to go around.
Not too far from them, two student council members caught a glimpse of that group.
"Hey, Alfie... Isn"t that President Rosie and Vice President Bianca? They were hanging out with two first grade juniors? Then why does President Rosie who looked gloomy a while ago now looks so cheerful?" Stanley scratched his head.
"I don"t know either, but that"s a good sign. The student council will be back to normal soon. We"d better not bother them and make sure no one will bother them." Alfie suggested confidently.
Stanley also feels like, Rosie who has improved her mood means good news for the other student council members. Because of that, the two of them needed to make sure no trouble came to the group of five.
Stanley and Alfie follow the group from a distance while making sure everything is safe and under control. Rosie herself didn"t even realize that she was getting two bodyguards without prompting to guard her in the distance while guiding two new students.
"Nee ~ Evelyn, Elysia, may I know where you are from?"
Rosie asked after introducing the room and venue the umpteenth time, they were currently in the last building they had not visited from the main building area.
"I come from the northern region." Evelyn smiled happily.
Today, she knows many places and their functions from the explanation of the three seniors who accompanied her on the tour. Even to the cla.s.srooms and training rooms for ninth grade seniors, even if they just pa.s.s and don"t enter.
"I come from home." Elysia answered as usual.
"Pfft... Hahaha... then I"m also from home." Rosie, Fran, and Bianca looked at each other before Rosie giggled, as Elysia"s answer sounded like a joke.
It"s easy to know Evelyn"s origin because Mitch.e.l.l is the name of a royal family in the northern region, Ariatha Kingdom. So, Evelyn is the princess but Elysia is still a question.
"Hehe... She is always like that even to Teacher Ruth. Please don"t be offended." Evelyn mistook Rosie"s laughter for dissatisfaction with Elysia"s answer.
"Oh, is that so? Why is that? Can you tell me, please?" Rosie became interested, Fran and Bianca just eavesdropped from the side because they were curious.
Evelyn didn"t want to answer that on behalf of Elysia, she turned to Elysia to see what she needed to do.
"Why not try asking me, I"ll answer it." Elysia got the signal from Evelyn. She is rather happy because the girl who already considered herself as her best friend is so considerate.
For some reason in Rosie"s mind, there was a male figure who appeared to be smiling and gave a similar way of speaking like Elysia, but that happened several years ago. A senior who is currently in the eighth grade also kept his ident.i.ty secret a few years ago as the current Elysia.
"Okay, then... Where were you born?" Rosie is excited to know more about Elysia, she takes this opportunity to confirm her guess that comes from her hunch.
"That"s a strange question, I was born on the mattress where my mother lay and tried to give birth to me." Elysia looked at Rosie strangely, even Elena also misunderstood it.
Rosie was at a loss for words for a moment because Elysia"s answer might be correct or perhaps made up, but she couldn"t decide.
"Then, then... What direction did you come from before to this academy?" Rosie still hasn"t given up, maybe asking Elysia will be like when she asked the senior with Marsh surname from the east region when he played his usual little game.
If the question isn"t right then the answer won"t be right either, but it"s quite confusing to get the expected answer. Fortunately the senior is still kind and will answer if the person who asked has given up, unlike him several years ago.
"I come from the northwest." Elysia answered honestly because she did come from the Beast Continent. The answer she gave was different from when she enrolled in the academy.
That information is also new to Evelyn, she already knows Elysia is not good at lying and Elysia"s every word is always reversed but there are no lies there.
Just before Rosie wanted to ask Elysia again as the representative of Fran as well, a slight commotion was heard not far from them as they were walking on the corridor.
