Chapter 62 (The two exploration party)
After I change my clothes, I returned to the living room, where Kyurie-san is waiting.
"I"m sorry to keep you waiting."
After all... well, she had 『seen it』...
"Regarding my status at this academy, it has been decided, which I decided to come here to inform you. And there"s also things that I want to ask you. However, if you feel tired, shall we do it later?"
"Well, that might be true, but..."
"Is that so..."
I who was about to stand up began to sit down again.
"Now then... how does it go? the truth is the matter regarding Kyurie-san has been on my mind, you see..."
"Is that so! Haa~, I"m glad~."
My heart feels relieved.
Though hostility sounds not gentle, conversely they won"t a.s.sent unless she makes her position clear huh.
That"s mean it"s not 『I sneak in without permission』 but 『Makina-san has invite me』, that part is the crucial lie I guess.
Many hold some question regarding the security such as 『can we control her while this person stays here』.
By the way, the reason as to why she had been invited to this place secretly is so not to cause panic in the neighborhood due the news that she had decided to bring a person from the sixth inst.i.tution to this place.
The explanation given to the sacred royal family is a smart mix of truth and lie.
And, as far as the story goes, it seems Kyurie-san had told Makina-san about her reason why she came to this academy.
"Indeed so..."
"Instead of hiding somewhere, due to end up being well-known, that person named Nois won"t be able to make a thoughtless action because of it... I guess there"s such aim as well?"
In this connection when she"s parted way with Kyurie-san, Makina-san with exhausted expression,
『Well, you can leave the rest to me. Even though I might look like this, I"m actually good at trickery stuff after all... fufufu... my work will get increased though... fufu, fufufu... It"s okay; I will do it earnestly.』
That"s what she said.
Umu...
"About that, it"s not just me."
The reason why I was able to meet Kyurie-san is because that person named Nois is here in the academy.
Even if I think the person is a seed of trouble, but, thanks to that person being in this academy, I was able to meet with Kyurie-san after all.
If I"m not wrong, at the sixth inst.i.tution, they call that person as 『immaterial play』.
"In other words, everything is in the same manner as before is it?"
"I agree..."
"Ahahaha... that"s just like her."
"Concerning her, I also don"t know much either."
Even her age is unknown.
"I heard somewhere that she have a connection to the royalty but, on one part is a special existence to the sacred ruin chivalric order. I don"t know the details but, it seems to have something to do with her mother."
Yesterday the sacred tree eight swords as well, when Makina-san asks them, they easily withdraw by saying 『since it"s you』.
And there are still a lot of mysteries regarding Makina-san.
It"s not like she"s a bad person either.
"My side huh?"
"I can guess it from your behavior."
Ooh... to think she can read me until this point.
"... I see."
There might not much change to her expression, however, from the voice, she sounds relieved.
"She, she"s stronger than what I have thought. I might have underestimated her for a bit. With that state, I thought she would need more time, but, I guess I should apologize to her when I meet her."
"Whether she recovered because of me or not, that"s something entirely difficult to say guess."
It is the truth that it was something difficult.
This might be a chance to do that but, as expected, it"s difficult.
"Well anyway, I"m glad that she"s not falling into despair. which I think that would be dangerous... to tell you the truth, I was planning to go to Cecil residence tomorrow."
Unexpectedly if it"s Kyurie-san, she might forcibly enter her room... in that case, what should I do?
"Is that so?"
...............................
I recalled something when I looked at the sword.
I need to ask Kyurie-san about Akira sword- err, now it"s ShiAkira.
"Well, no... somehow you agree to it plainly, so...."
"That doesn"t seem to be a joke isn"t it..."
Though that would be only if I were to fall into deep sleep normally.
It would just make an unnecessary worry.
With this,
Let"s talk about it with Aira-san tomorrow.
Before Kyurie-san returned, I have a little chat with her for a little bit just the two of us.
On the way to the Academy, I received ShiAkira sword from Kyurie-san.
Today Mia-san was sent me off.
.................................
Soon, there might be a surprise attack visit to my house from her.
And today as well, Cecil-san is absent.
And the reason why she took absent is that 『the dark circle under my eyes does not yet disappear.』
And then they began to whisper to each other that there must be some unusual circ.u.mstance happen.
..............................
I don"t feel surprised by it anymore.
I imagined the expression of Zix when Cecil-san told him 『the dark circle under my eyes does not yet disappear, so today I want to take absent』 which brought me to smile.
Kyurie-san and I were sitting on the same table that I use with Aira-san in the dining hall.
Somehow, she seems to be nervous around Kyurie-san.
"I don"t mind about that. Or rather no student mind those things you know? Instead, many of them hold admiration toward you. Within my exploration group, there"s no one objecting your partic.i.p.ation."
I heard that the snow-white figure of Kyurie-san which she shows when facing against Hibigami seems to be popular.
Well... I cannot help but agree; I"ve already burned it in my mind that perfect beauty figure.
Here< illu="" of="" it.="">Is it going to be alright, this country?
"That"s why I warmly welcome you. and based on the thirst for blood that you shows at the time of battle practice, I"m looking forward to your ability alright?"
I would like to say that, for Aira-san being able to measure the degree of her ability just by sensing that thirst for blood, she"s amazing.
Her expression seems to be depressed.
"It"s just... today, the situation have turned a little bit bad."
"Pull out?"
In short, they move around for the sake inviting the other students huh?
"What is that... it"s as if that we"re some kind of opposition."
At first, the purpose of magma giant monster subjugation operation is to defeat the demon together, since it"s everyone problem, which everyone only able to dive until ninth player because of it.
Then, a moderate amount of members has been gathered.
I really don"t understand.
"Yo~, Airaa~!"
The one who appeared there isー Maro.
Aira-san then glared at Maro.
"Viburk... what are you getting at? you"ve been trying to pull out our member that we"ve gathered so far."
"W-Wha!?"
Maro Laugh happily while spreading her arms.
"Oi oi this is St.Lunezret Academy you know!? It"s a place where everyone competes against each other for junior saint rank! And yet, why we have to join hands and aim for the same goal!? Compet.i.tion is encouraged in this academy! Am I wrong!?"
However, the person who Aira-san scowled at is a student standing behind Maro.
"All of this, it"s your doing right... Beoza Farontessa." He has a slightly oval face, however, because of his firm feature, he gives off a masculine charm.
A raven black hair down to his back.
Indeed, this is the so-called lady-killer charm.
"... There"s nothing that I have to understand."
"I agree about that completely! that"s not it, I mean, the way you guys doing things!"
Beoza shows grief expression.
"What! To think that I make miss Aira sad is... I"m sorry! But still, it can"t be helped! This is my destiny... ah, my fate!"
Beoza spread his hands up toward the sky.
Probably she has the same thought as I do.
ーWhat"s wrong with this person.
"Khu, Viburk!"
Feeling that she waste the time dealing with him, Aira-san changes her aim at Maro.
"I"m not stupid!"
And began smirking again.
"Ha~, didn"t I said it already! in this academy, we practice compet.i.tion! if there"s no compet.i.tion for acquisition, it would be strange no!?"
"Shut up! Aren"t you the one who"s wrong!"
"... Khu, That isー."
Maro looked at me with a side glance.
Ah, I remember now.
"O, Oh... Umm, let"s we all do our best."
Eeeeeeh?
I wonder why...
"Viburk."
The one who speak with piercing voice isー Beoza.
"W-What is it..."
"S-Shut up!"
The one who comes is a student with a violent vibe in contrast compared to Beoza.
"Somehow~ this guy is really irritation. furthermore, they seem to have no respect toward uppercla.s.sman such as us."
The guy called Beshukata looked down toward Kyurie-san.
"Now then, should you greet your uppercla.s.sman with respect. o good looking ojou-chan?"
The first place?
"From the looks of it, you don"t know it huh..."
Maybe because of a change in my expression thus she noticed.
"Beoza Farontessa. He"s the strongest magic user in the academy, rank 1 in the junior saint rank."
