[Nes' POV: ]
"Oh really~? I was actually intimidated by you at first. To think you were such a fun person~. Ah, have you really seen a unicorn? Like, the real one? Really~?"
"Hehe, of course, Princess Cathy~! Do you wanna know the details? I can tell you about one of the best days of my life with that~!"
"Of course! If it's about a unicorn I would looooove to hear that story!"
Princess Cathy is such a fun person, haha, and she loves unicorns as well! She has an unexpectedly cute side to her!
"Oh, really~? Then, since would be a long story that I plan to retell with every bit of detail I could rember, how about we do this on tea in the evening after the classes~? I know El would love to join us as well if she can~!"
"Ah, right. That's an excellent idea! I have sothing to talk about with her anyway. We should do this, perfect."
She seed to have sothing else to talk about with El, perhaps sothing important related to the 'secret' thing they had talked about on our first eting.
'It must be important then.'
She was a princess and from what I know now, her grandmother is one of the strongest people in this world.
People say she is sooooo strong that she can fight multiple rank 'monsters' like mom, dad, uncle, and aunt all by herself.
And, they also talk about how Princess Cathy is the most treasured thing of her life.
'They say she will beco her successor as well as the next ruler of her nation that's so powerful that it's comparable to the overall power of Prince Morexis's empire even though it's much smaller than them in all aspects.'
She is a special person and that much is sothing I know already. However, El and brother Lucy are her guardians now so, it also shows just how simple she was despite possessing such an incredible authority in the world outside of this school.
"Right, talking about El, where is she? And Mister Lucifer as well. I haven't seen either of them since our eting on the first day. Have they not even co out of their dorms to explore this wonderful place? Don't they wanna see all the amazing things in this special space? They are adventurers, right? Shouldn't they be more excited to explore a place that they don't know much about?"
Well, princess, that's the thing, I think? They know a little too much about this place, so much so that they gave a detailed lesson on all the good places inside the academy castle, so tips for the places I must visit at certain tis, places I have to explore by myself, and so of the people or more accurately, the special beings inside of this academy that I had to et no matter what.
'I have been busy doing all the things they told since the ti after our breakfast together, and while exploring the great library of the academy, I t Princess Cathy again, and, we have gotten closer since then.'
I got to know quite a lot of things about her, but, one of the most unique things about her, is her habit of asking questions relentlessly like she just did.
And, she only does this around or the people close to her like her nanny and Prince Morexis so, it's a unique behavior of hers reserved only for the people she is comfortable around.
She's amazing, smart, knows a loooooot about things that I have no worldly idea about and, since I ask her questions that she loves to answer in as much detail as a book could tell, I find her to be… a pretty cool person.
"Hehe Princess Cathy, calm down a little and listen here.
I think the two of them know pretty well about the academy already, however, you would have to ask them how's and why's yourself, alright?
I haven't seen the two of them after we had lunch the day before yesterday anyway. And that's the very reason I am more curious about what kind of important thing they had been up to that they don't even tell .
I know they went out of the academy, that much I confird from Friday, but he wouldn't tell what exactly the two of them were doing even after I tried all kinds of wording thods I knew. Haaa…"
"Hmmm? What do you an by wording thod? And in the first place, you're talking about that mute butler, right? The one that was present there on the first day we were there?
I thought he couldn't speak with what I observed that day. I didn't even know he couldn't speak…"
Now she had a worried expression that scread her world was being shaken at this mont.
She couldn't accept that her evaluation of sothing was wrong, that was another thing I have co to know about her.
'She has a great insight and an impeccable eyesight for 'unique' things so, hearing that her evaluation of sothing was wrong, although just for a single characteristic, was a great shock to her.'
So great that she sat down on the chair behind us to calm herself down.
"Your assessnt of him wasn't entirely wrong, Princess. The thing is, he is as close to him as Miss Eva is to brother Lucy. And she has ordered him to not speak with anyone else no matter what.
I am of course an exception but he doesn't answer the questions of mine that she has specifically told him not to answer, and, she has sohow forbid many, many specific things. Especially the ones I want the answers to the most.
She has a good subordinate, that's all there is to it. It's not your fault that you failed your evaluation."
El told not to tell anyone that Friday is her summons, and, I am not going to tell anyone how he calls her mom or anything related to any of it. Things are fine as they are and since even soone like Princess Cathy couldn't figure out that he was not a human but a summoned being of so other kind, I have nothing to worry about here.
"How is it, not my fault… ok it's not my 'fault' that I made the mistake and I understand that he is just that good, but still, I had felt like he was soone so young that he couldn't talk the first ti I saw him but that couldn't have been true since the things he is capable of aren't sothing soone young could possibility perform.
He is special, he is also very good at following the orders of his master, and if we add in the fact that he isn't so official helper of the academy and an unauthorized person that I had seen there for the first ti, the only conclusion I could reach here is that he isn't a human or at least a registered person inside this academy.
This ans either they sohow have a way to bring in the people from the outside here, or, that butler is sothing they can summon without the restrictions of the academy's system. Sothing like a summoned creature, or a spirit, or an artificial intelligence… but that's absurd as well!
How can that be the case?!"
"Ummmm…"
She was smart, alright. Unexpectedly smart.
How the hell did she even reach the conclusion that he could be a summoned being?! How does she know he is an unregistered person in the first place?! Has she morized everyone currently affiliated with the academy like El or sothing?!
"Yo hello, guys~! What is up, what is up~? What are my two dear cuties talking about~?"
"El! Brother Lucy!"
She was here! They were finally here! Huuuuu!
"Hehe, hello to you too Nessy~! I see you have made so new friends. Good good~."
We were in the reception hall on the ground floor of the dorm tower and the two of them had appeared in the center where most people who use the return function of their key cards are summoned, so I ran up to them and hugged El, showing a clear sign of hidden anxiety.
I know she had at least heard the last few words of Princess Cathy and had figured out what was going on from the way she patted my head when I was hugging her and, that was enough for to know I wouldn't have to deal with those specific question princess had.
"Princess Cathy~. You look awfully gloomy. What happened?"
She left with brother Lucy after our hug and went up to Princess Cathy and talked with her for a mont in a low voice, and after so change of reaction on her face a few tis, she returned to her normal cheerful state.
"What did she tell her brother Lucy? I couldn't even hear a thing because of how she put up that invisible barrier."
Brother Lucy was here, and even though he is a biggggggg liar, I can at least hope to expect an honest answer from him most of the ti.
"She told her a story," he answered with a smirk on his face while he looked at El with his impressed look.
'Oh lord…'
And, the combination of this smirk and look always ant that they had done sothing they obviously shouldn't have! Again!
"You know what brother Lucy, and El? We need to talk."
"Hmmm? What?"
The smug look on his face instantly transford into that of a fear-filled one. He knew what I ant when I said 'we needed to talk' and, I knew El had heard that sohow as well through the unique 'way' the two of them had so, the subtle change of look on her face said it all was well.
'They didn't like our talk, but, they were necessary. The two of them do many dangerous things! If I don't make them realize those things, who will?! I had to do it as their first and bestest friend! There was no other way around this!'
This was going to happen, our talk that is. And, they will listen to all that I have to say even though I know they won't actually think much of it afterward.
They don't actually care about the things after the 'talk', I knew that from the last 'talk' we had during the inauguration ceremony, and that's why I am planning to make it as long as possible.
And they will have to sit through that whole thing!
Hump!
"O-okay… we will see that later. How about we go to our class now? Isn't it about ti already?"
He wanted to avoid talking about the 'talk'. Of course, he wants to avoid that! He didn't like it more than El!
But there was no way around this! Not this ti!
"Yes, of course, we are going now. But brother Lucy, I am not going to forget this, alright? Just rember that we ARE going to have the 'talk'."
We walked up to El and Princess Cathy and after a little chat walked out of the reception room and towards the classrooms for the general horoom gathering.
'We are going to have six common classes every day, and then three classes of our choice following a lunch break.
There are countless subjects one can choose the six personal classes from in this academy and we can have different classes if we manage to 'complete' that class or 'pass' it in the annual exams.
There is a lot of things that we are going to experience in these individual classes and since the two of them are also going to attend one of the class that I would be taking, it was going to be fun~!'
And all of us are in Class A as well so, it is going to be even more fun!
