87. back to school (1)

“I think summer vacation is over already.”

“I see. … Before entering school, I really wanted to go to school.”

Time flies like an arrow, and summer vacation is over before you know it.

Koyono, Arlot, Evan, and even me.

As usual, the four of them chatted with each other in the back seat by the window.

“I thought it would be better with just a little more legs… ”

Arlott rubbed his legs one after another, as if feeling sorry for him.

Through acupuncture, even a little bit of blood was pierced through her.

He says he feels a little bit of tactile sensation in his legs, which he had not felt at all.

“Because you said the important thing is rehabilitation. See you again if you have time.”

“That’s right… I’ll have to see you again next vacation.”

“Huh, come anytime. There are still many things to enjoy in Heirin.”

As we talked about it, it was time for the morning meeting.

Arlot and I became less and less talkative as if we were salting each other.

With our mouths closed, we stared at Koyono.

“Why, why?”

“Miss Koyono… Shouldn’t we go now?”

“What do you mean! We are in the same class… Are you a member of the same party?”

I shook my head.

When I asked why he didn’t come to his class and came here, he was still denying reality.

He carefully placed his hand on Koyono’s shoulder.

Someone has to let you know that Santa doesn’t exist in this world.

“Miss Koyono, calm down and listen.”

“I hate to hear it!”

“Miss Koyono is in the lower class. And all of our party members except Koyono-san-”

You have been promoted to Intermediate Class.

I felt Koyono’s shoulders tremble.

Her eyes looking up at me pitifully made me feel weak, but

I couldn’t help it because I knew that she would be late for the opening ceremony.

“Come on, lyrics. I will be really late after this.”

“Ugh… I don’t want to go… Why did everyone get promoted, leaving only the girl behind!”

He forcibly grabbed her arm and lifted her from her seat.

She whines as she clings to me like a cow being led to a slaughterhouse.

Seeing Koyono’s appearance, Arlott muttered involuntarily.

“That’s right, Koyono-san messed up the written exam like that… ”

“Keugh!”

Arlott’s wedge-piercing fatal blow forced Koyono to hold on to his chest.

… Yes. In a way, it was natural for us to come to the intermediate class.

In the midterm exam, he caught the boss himself and achieved first place in the lower class.

During the final exams, because of Sherald’s case, the academy gave him an advantage, so he won first place again.

As long as I and Arlott maintained high grades in writing, of course, the promotion to the intermediate class is guaranteed.

Even if he maintained a mid-level grade like Evan, he was able to come to the intermediate class because of the large practical score.

In the first place, the academy was free to promote and drop out of Bansai whenever a new semester started.

To recap, Koyono messed up with her notes and had to stay in the lower class for the second semester.

“Look forward to it. The girl will definitely make amazing grades in the lower class and move up to the upper class by being promoted to 2 tiers!”

After that, Koyono jumped and ran away to the lower class.

It’s like a villain character who loses to the main character every day, so I laughed for no reason.

“Mr. Koyono is really… You only go halfway through the written exam.”

“Anyway, it seems that your studies aren’t going well.”

I also felt bad because Koyono fell in the lower class.

During the first semester, I am a friend whom I have made quite a bit of.

Because she was missing, we had to recruit one more person to the 4-person party.

As I returned to my seat thinking that I should teach Koyono to study ahead of the written exam,

The blue-haired girl put her butt on Koyono’s chair.

“hello! It’s been a long time since I saw you at the last social church. My name is Green Knoll Hannah!”

“Ah, the one I saw before admission… Nice to meet you.”

Hanna waved her blue short hair and said hello.

The way he held Arlott’s hand and waved it up and down reminded me of a lively country girl.

The small teeth peeking out from her wide grin added to that impression.

… Although the curves of her body, which were not inferior to those of Koyono, were slightly unbalanced.

‘I know this is all acting, but.’

She was a bright girl with a good personality that made people smile, but I couldn’t help but smile.

In fact, ‘Greennol Hanna’, the daughter of a nobleman with a small estate,

Because she is ‘Hexler Hanna’, the third princess of the Hexler family who conquered the continent.

An ancient magic tool handed down from the imperial family and her possessed smoke.

Because of that, only a few people outside of the imperial family knew that the two were the same person.

… It must be a problem that I am among those extremely rare characters.

“hello. Maybe your name… ”

“It’s called Waltz Schmitz.”

“Oh right! I just remembered. Sorry for forgetting, hehehe.”

“…there?”

Hanna smiled and placed her hand on my arm.

A question mark appeared on Arlott’s face, who was greeting him warmly.

Why does Evan, who was sitting next to me, not pay attention to me and keeps flirting with me…

Actually, the real problem was different.

“As per your score, didn’t you go up to the upper class?”

“Oh, you’re doing a background check on a lady. Are you even interested in me?”

“…I hope you will answer my questions.”

It’s funny to think about the original work now, but she had to be in the upper class.

In other words, in the first semester, I was assigned to the intermediate class, and I should have been recognized for my high score and immediately moved to the advanced class.

Even with the information I personally collected, I came out with a grade that was good enough for the advanced class…

Why the hell is she staying in the intermediate class?

“I may have stayed because I missed you. Someone who will come up to the intermediate class. I mean”

“…Schmitz? Mr. Hanna? What are you talking about?”

“now! Everyone be quiet.”

In a dizzy situation, a loud voice came from the front door of the classroom.

I squeezed my temples and looked up.

A familiar figure strode into the classroom and appeared.

Reddish hair with the head of a lion, tanned skin.

A female professor who always shows off her healthy body in revealing clothes

It was the appearance of Lapis Ryan.

No, why is that person here and not in the lower class?

“Nice to meet you guys. My name is Lapis Ryan, who has been in charge of the intermediate class since today. Please take care of me, disciples.”

Ryan blatantly looked at me and gave a slight wink.

At the sight of it, I finally grabbed my overloaded head.

As soon as the second semester begins, the sudden change in the situation makes my head pound.

* * *

“Time goes by so fast! How about lunch together?”

After spending the class time absentmindedly, it was lunch time before I knew it.

Hannah stuck her face in me and invited me to lunch.

As I was staring at Hannah’s face indifferently, I heard someone from the side.

“…”

“…”

Two heads moving at the same time.

Arlott sat next to me, and Evan sat next to Hannah.

I felt a kind of heaviness in that gaze as he stared at me without saying anything.

“What would you like to do, my lady?”

“I will abide by Schmitz’s decision.”

“…Well.”

“Mr. Schmitz! We eat together. I mean, I don’t have any friends.”

don’t have friends

What about those boys in line to offer a meal…

Guys from the upper class,

Also, those who spent a semester together in the intermediate class.

All of them look like they are impatient to be with Hannah.

Thank you for choosing this place…

I am concerned about Arlot and Evan’s dubious glances.

‘I guess I’ll have to refuse.’

I don’t want to turn the men who fell in love with her into enemies,

I want to eat rice comfortably.

After all, she is a princess.

Also, the princess who clearly has a crush on me.

This relationship should be carefully sorted out.

“I’m sorry, but I guess-”

The moment I tried to say the words of refusal

Hannah, who had been clinging to me and flirting, pulled my tie.

Thanks to this, I was speechless and pulled into her, and Hannah whispered something in my ear.

“You should be friendly, Mr. Wolf Mask. Hannah, is it sad that you treat me so coldly?”

“…!”

“What, what are you doing!”

I was able to get Hannah off thanks to Arlott who immediately reached out and stopped him.

However, Hannah’s low whispers were still clear in my ears.

wolf mask.

That would obviously refer to my weakness that was caught at the auction house.

‘To think that a country’s princess would take care of a cute weakness.’

It’s something to be ordered in the name of the princess.

She seemed to want to talk on an equal footing rather than press me down due to class differences.

Can you do anything special when you’ve been generous like this?

As a ‘wolf mask’, he just does what he has to do.

“…wouldn’t it be okay to have a meal together?”

“Schmitz?”

“Wow! Mr Schmitz! Thank you~”

Hannah, who likes to run around, and Arlott, who is flustered.

I took turns looking at the two with different temperature differences and swallowed a sigh.

I thought that a comfortable school life in the intermediate class would be impossible for the time being.
