Black and White Princess and Soul Dress [3] – part 2
Next day.
Ria and I went to the classroom together.
We both are in the sa class, Year 1 Class A.
Because we live in the sa room, there is no need to head to class separately.
「And, you see! There is a traditional dish called Ramzac in my country! It is really delicious!」
「Really? I’d like to eat it next ti.」
「I know a good store near Thousand Blade Academy! I’ll show you next ti!」
Compared to yesterday – perhaps she was refreshed after a day of sleep, or she forgot that she was a slave, her attitude towards had softened.
(It’s a hundred tis better than her cold attitude last night)
And talking to her… was simply fun.
Every expression she puts on is interesting, and I don’t get tired of watching her every gesture. Maybe she is the『popular type』.
While thinking about that, we arrived at the classroom of Year 1 Class A.
As I opened the sliding door with a rattle,
「G-Good morning… Ria-san!」
「Today, is a very nice weather!」
Two girls in the sa class talked to Ria, a little nervously.
「Yes, good morning. It’s a pleasant morning today.」
Ria quickly acted friendly and smiled while waving her right hand.
(…Looking at her like this, she really is an elegant『princess』)
I can’t imagine that the cheerful and slightly crude Ria when with , and the current, ladylike and dignified Ria, are the sa person.
If she so tells that「The truth is… I have a dual personality」, I would actually be convinced.
When Ria started chatting with the girls, I quietly left her.
I know girls have girls-only conversations between them.
(The seating… still hasn’t been decided yet, right?)
There was no seating instructions on the blackboard in front of the classroom, so I headed to the rearmost window seat where it was most inconspicuous.
Then there were three male students who were talking happily about sothing on the way to the seat.
I thought that it wouldn’t be nice to not greet them, so I summoned up so courage and greeted.
「G-Good morning.」
As I did,
「「「……」」」
All three stopped talking with each other and glanced at my face for a second – then they resud their conversation.
They ignored completely.
And then they temporarily glared at .
(…haa, they definitely hate )
This is definitely due to yesterday – the aftereffect of the hellish entrance ceremony.
(For humans, first impression is important after all…)
Starting from a favorable rate of zero from the very first day of the academy, is a bit too harsh…
(Well, just the fact that they aren’t insulting face-to-face is good I guess…)
At the Gran Swordsmanship Academy, I was subjected to various insults, such as the Dropout Swordsman, Coward, and the Dark Arts user. Being ignored by three people, is no big deal.
When I tried to get away from them.
「-Hey, you guys. Do you have a mont?」
Ria, who put a soft outward smile, called out to the n who ignored .
「Y-Yes!」
「W-What is it, Ria-san?」
「Is there anything troubling you!?」
The three n seed to be ecstatic as they were spoken to by Ria, a peerless innocent beauty, at least in outward appearance.
These guys… are calculative.
(But, Ria… what does she intend to achieve by calling out to them?)
As I moved to the window-side seat while paying attention to that situation, she said sothing unexpected.
「Just now, I’m sure Allen greeted you… I wonder if you didn’t hear it through your chattering?」
And as she said,
「Eh… no, that is…」
「We heard it but… how to put it…」
「H-His voice was too soft… or sothing like that…?」
They just beat around the bush without getting to the point.
Looking at them, Ria smiled sweetly.
「You know, people who do such stupid stuff… I really hate them.」
「「「……!」」」
She didn’t mind the n who were at a loss for words, and continued with the usual gentle smile.
「Please don’t talk to ever again. ーWell then, good day to you.」
Ria, who frankly told all the things she wanted to say, lowered her bag to the seat right next to .
The whole classroom was frozen by her unexpected cold remarks.
In the heavy atmosphere where everyone was silent, the perpetrator herself seed to be totally unconcerned, sits down carefully on the chair so that the skirt does not fold, and arranged the textbook in the bag indifferently on the desk.
「I’m kinda sorry…」
I apologized to Ria with a soft voice.
(The remarks just now, was definitely in consideration of …)
However, if she does that, Ria’s likeableness with the class will drop.
In fact, the three n are now glaring at Ria.
And while I was hurt by an indescribable sense of guilt,
「What are you apologizing for? I just expressed things which I dislike.」
Saying so, she softly laughed.
It wasn’t a forced laugh, but a natural laugh that spilled out spontaneously.
I was montarily captivated by that cute and transparent smile.
After that, as the classroom was covered with an unprecedented『Ria shock』, the rattling sound of the door being opened reverberated.
And it was Rose-san who appeared from the door with a drowsy look.
Perhaps she was not a morning person, as her usual cold looks were nowhere to be seen.
She had an ahoge standing upright, and her long hair is uncombed and springing out in all directions.
She looked around the surroundings, and when she t my eyes, she headed towards unsteadily and sat down in front of .
「Fuwaa… Good morning, Allen. And Ria too.」
「Good morning, Rose-san.」
「What do you an “and Ria too”?」
Ria gave a sharp eye, but apparently Rose-san seed unaware of it, as she yawned.
「Rose-san, your… hair is springing out everywhere, is that alright?」
I asked just in case, while pointing at the ahoge that had a prominent presence in the middle.
「…No problem. I have gravity looking out for …」
She said so in an incomprehensible muttering tone.
Apparently she always waits for her bed hair to fix itself naturally.
I’m not familiar with girl’s hair, but Rose-san probably belongs to the minority.
A chi rang out to announce the start of class, and at the sa ti the door in front of the classroom was vigorously opened.
「Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlen!」
The person who ca from there was, Leia-sensei, clad in full black attire of, a black suit, a black tie, and black gloves on both hands.
「Fumu fumu… this is wonderful! There are no late cors or absentees from the very first day ー The best start!」
She laughed happily as she clapped the attendance book in her hand.
A female student asked a question on behalf of everyone in the classroom.
「Umm… why is president here?」
「Nn, that is obvious right? Because I’m the horoom teacher of Year 1 Class A.」
At that mont, the classroom beca noisy.
Naturally, my heart was also disturbed.
(…Yeah, this is the worst to say the least)
This sensei is a little… no, she is a very unpleasant person, as I ca to realise yesterday.
(More precisely, what about your duties as the president…?)
The president of one of the Five Academy’s holds trendous social influence and power.
Naturally, it is a common talk that with a great deal of power, cos a corresponding responsibility and a trendous amount of work every day.
(I don’t think it’s a job where one can afford to serve as a horoom teacher concurrently…)
Leia-sensei loudly clapped her hands.
「Now, the morning horoom is beginning. Without delay, I have so important information to share!」
She took in a breath and announced it at once.
「It’s regarding the team mbers of the Big Five Holy Festival on the weekend!」
The whole class beca excited when she said, the “Big Five Holy Festival”.
The Big Five Holy Festival – It’s where each of the Five Academy selects three of their best freshman, and have all of them compete for victory in a round robin event.
If you can make an impression here, a path to the Senior Holy Knight position that everyone yearns for, will be opened.
It was natural that the students were rumbling.
「Originally, we would carefully select the mbers from the results of the practical test that will be implented after this. But this year, the team mbers have already been decided!」
The classroom rumbled and at the sa ti a bad premonition-like chill ran through my spine.
One of the reasons – Leia-sensei had a very good smile on her face.
From now on, she will start to say sothing that is certainly not good.
It’s only been two days since I t her, but I already slightly understand her nature.
「Well then, there is no point in delaying it so, let’s announce the nas!」
The classroom becos quiet instantly.
A few seconds later, Leia-sensei announced the participating mbers.
「Representing the Thousand Blade Academy, in this year’s Big Five Holy Festival, will be – Ria Vesteria, Rose Valencia, and Allen Rodore!」
There, just like I predicted…
While glaring at Leia-sensei, I grumbled with a sigh.
