Finally, today is the day we visit the Magic Sink . I am looking forward to it, however, I am not travelling in the same group with Alan, Charlotte-chan and Ritz-kun .

My group was mostly uppercla.s.smen, so it felt like I was on the away team . But still, Cain-sama was in the same group! As expected of my follower! Following me because I might be lonely by myself? So he didn’t forget to follow me!

There were around 30 people in my group . Our group was a.s.signed a relatively near “Monster Forest” to conduct our field trip . It was a mixed group of students from year 1 to year 5 .

We made our way to the capital’s exit by carriage . In order to descend from the unnatural bulge of a hill that the capital was on, we rode on a large elevator plate operated by a magician skilled in motion magic!

After that, we resumed our jolting journey on road with the carriages that have been prepared beforehand . When we arrived on the outskirts, we had to say goodbye to our carriages . Leaving only our luggage on the carriage, we continued the rest of the journey to the Monster Forest on foot . This could be considered as physical training, however, most of us do not have a fitness programme, so the year ones and twos -- the young ladies and young masters were having a hard time .

Nevertheless, for the sake of visiting the Magic Sink, we lumbered on . The seniors who were mages guarded our front and back, while the others formed two rows in the center . Of course, a teacher took the lead!

In some sense, this could be seen as a kindergarten excursion, so it might have been thrilling for the teacher to say, “Hold hands with your friend, friend, next to you, okay~” But that didn’t happen though .

The 13 years old Cain, who was equipped like a knight, walked next to me . All the students in the knight’s course were carrying a sword and were equipped with a chainmail .

I asked why were they in their full gear and Cain told me that it was for the 1 in 10000 chance that the barrier breaks and the monsters attack us . They would be the ones protecting us then .

Monsters huh? Like that bear? Trembling in fear as I recalled the events from the past, Cain-sama consoled me by smiling and reminding me that such events were rare .

Eww, perfectionist! As expected of my follower!

It was a long time since I stepped outside the capital and I could still remember how difficult it was for Kou-okaasan and I when we were climbing up to the capital . As I reminisced in that fragment of memory, the others plodded forward and chatted idly .

I wasn’t tired as my limbs grew strong from living in the mountains, but the same could not be said for the sheltered daughters and sons . It seemed to be too much exercise for them and when it was near noontime, they were mostly dead tired .

We were far from the city by lunchtime, so there weren’t any cla.s.sy cafes in the area . We made a stop on a gra.s.sy and rocky ground, and took out our own bentos and drinks . It was a small breather for everyone .

According to the teacher, we were almost there . Indeed, we could see the forest from a distance here . I took out the sandwich Kou-okaasan prepared for me early in the morning and placed it on my lap . Eating Kou-okaasan’s handmade bento on my lap during excursions was a long-cherished dream of mine .

I was seated near Cain-sama so I didn’t feel lonely . I relished in this supreme bliss momentarily before I spotted something sparkling from afar and someone waving .

“Cain! There you are!”
The person who waved and approached us was Henry-sama . He was a magician and was one of the few leading the group . He came looking for Cain .

“What is the matter? Henry-sama . ”
Cain smiled in delight and bowed, as one would before royalty .

“What? Do I need a reason to find you, Cain?”
He replied in elation . Without unnecessarily wasting his movements, Henry-sama sat down . Looks like he wanted to have lunch together .

“It’s not like that… . . . Weren’t the other mages going to eat together?”
Cain-sama drew near as though he couldn’t hear him and said . Henry-sama simply laughed .

“I want to eat with Cain . “
With his unflinching royal smile, he declared indifferently . Cain made a happy sigh in resignation .

“Okay, I got it . Then I will have to quietly accept being teased by the rest later . ”

“Sorry as always . ”
Henry spoke in a mocking tone and slapped Cain-sama’s shoulder before finally making eye contact with me .

Hey, ignoring me and acting in your theatre of male friendship is gross . Didn’t you notice me waiting for the right timing to say something?

“Mn? Isn’t this young lady here chick-san?! I see, Cain, you wanted to be alone with chick-san so you hid from me, didn’t you!?”
Henry-sama started poking Cain from his flank with his elbow as though he was saying, “You lil’!” .

“That is not the case . She is an important friend of my younger brother . Of course, I treat her as an important friend, no, in fact I treat her as my little sister . ”
Cain-sama maintained his calm smile while saying . Henry-sama stopped his poking .

“ . . . . . . Henry-sama, it has been a long time . I am Ryou . ”
I bided my time and waited for an opportunity before calling out .

“Ah, long time no see, chick-chan! We walked quite some distance, but chick-chan don’t seem to be tired at all?”
In case he had forgotten my name, I introduced my name once again, but it looks like he has no intention of not calling me chick-chan .

“Yes, I am quite fit you see . ”

“Oh really! Keeping fit is good! I like you! I’m happy you get along with not just Cain, but me too!”
Keeping fit and liking me… . . . are active girls the in thing now?

In the meantime, I should just move on by replying, “Oh no, it’s my honour—!”

Midway in my thoughts, Henry nonchalantly tried to take my hand . Yikes! I am getting attacked by the royal etiquette of kissing on the back of a hand! Making an immediate judgement, I grabbed onto the sandwich that was on my lap .

His highness quietly withdrew his hand back to himself . As expected, with a sandwich, he wouldn’t be able to kiss the back of my hand .

WIthout pause, I moved on to chew on my sandwich .

After that, our lunch and our lively conversation ended .

I could tell that Cain-sama and Henry-sama are rather good friends . However, I felt something amiss . What is it, I wonder . It was slightly different from the closeness between Alan and Ritz .

It must be because of the honourifics Cain-sama like to use when he speaks to Henry-sama . For one, Cain-sama should be more senior in terms of academic year, so that might be where the awkwardness came from . Well, Henry-sama is royalty so this was natural .

In this academy, the hierarchy inclines towards pedigree students or ability as a mage, instead of seniority . In j.a.pan schools, however, the senior’s words would be absolute!

Henry-sama’s family status alone would be considered to be the pinnacle, not to mention that there are rumours saying that his skills as a magician are super powerful . Surely, there is no one he fears in the academy since he was the top of the pecking order .

Since he was the top of the tops, the reason for the awkwardness might be because of the carefree vibes he gives off?

Henry-sama might be a little pompous and somewhat over-familiar to us, but he might be a good person .
