Chapter 103 - Abnormality and White Lily Academy [4] (1/2)

103. Abnormality and White Lily Academy [4]

The moment I caught their attention and proposed to settle it through talking,

「H-Hey! What was that evil darkness just now?!」

From outside the main gate, a little girl rushed over to me in a hurry. There was a short sword, which looked like a wakizashi, fastened at her waist – most likely a swordsman still in middle-school.

「Umm… You must have come to the wrong academy. This is a high-school, you know?」 I said, gently.

「P-Please don’t treat me like a child! I am Chemy Fasta, the Director of White Lily Academy!」

She showed off her teacher’s name tag, which read “Chemy Fasta, Director of White Lily Academy”, with an offended expression.

It was certainly her name and face on the name tag.

「E-Eh?!」I stared wide-eyed at Chemy-san.

Chemy Fasta. She is roughly around 140 centimeters in height. A genuine childlike face; who could probably never buy sake on her own. Skin as fresh and vibrant as a child. Parched black hair that extends to the back. A white lab coat that doesn’t fit her size. To be honest, no matter how I look at her, I can only see a child.

However,

「S-Sorry, excuse me…」

The fault definitely lies with me on this one. Paula-san always said it’s rude to treat an adult woman like a child.

「Hmm! If you understand, it’s okay!」she said, folding her arms.

Each of her actions was very child-like, I couldn’t help but look at her with warm eyes.

「Oi, chibi! Are you the director of this academy?」

「Ah, y-you’re the super-problem child, Sid-kun, aren’t you? P-Please state what business you have at our academy…」

Overpowered by Sid-san’s glare, she casually hid behind Idol-san and spoke in funny honorifics. She’s not good at handling people with a boorish attitude, it seems.

「I’ll get right to the point. Give me Allen.」

He simply threw out his demands without concealing them behind pretty words.

「W-Well, that’s… actually a very difficult thing to do… which also involves a promise with the Thousand Blade Academy, so…」Chemy-san refused as politely as possible whilst cowering.

「Tsk… Then let me transfer here.」

「T-That is also pretty difficult, too… We’re an all girls’ school, so… How do I put this, a dangerou– I mean, a wild person like Sid-san is a little…」

With both of his requests turned down,

「Tsk. I guess the Miss was right, after all.」

After a loud tongue clicking, he took out a beautiful letter from his chest pocket.

「Take this. This is a letter I received from our Mis– our Director.」

「From Ferris-san?」

Chemy-san received the traditionally designed letter, and intently read the contents inside.

「…I see, I understand. Sid Euclius-kun, Cain Material-kun… I’ll permit you to transfer here for a period of two-weeks.」

I don’t know what kind of change of heart Chemy-san had, but she readily admitted to their transfer.

「Sheesh!」

「Oh! We did it, Sid!」

While Sid-san and Cain-san were wrapped in joy,

「…Director Chemy?」

Idol-san’s cold glance pierced Chemy-san.

「W-What is it, Idol-san?」

「What was written in that letter just now?」

「W-Well… the contents were truly wonderful! I was so very touched, to the extent which made me permit their transfer!」she said, in an excited voice, as though looking forward to something in the future.

How do I put this… It felt very suspicious.

「Is that true?」

Idol-san took a step closer and stared directly into Chemy-san’s eyes.

「What?! Do you doubt your Director?」

「Yes」Idol-san replied, almost immediately.

「……」Chemy-san became speechless.

「Look me in the eye. Can you honestly say『I don’t feel guilty at all』?」

「E-Eh, uh… W-Well, that’s…」

The authority in her voice from a few moments ago disappeared, and she was starting to slur on her words.

「As expected, you’re hiding something, aren’t you?」

「Eh, uh… No! Well, it’s not like I’m hiding it or anything like that!」

As Chemy-san was in a disorderly state, the letter in question fell out of her pocket.

Without missing the opportunity, Idol-san picked it up with a quick move.

「Ah!? H-Hey, Idol-san?! Sensei has privacy, too!」

Chemy-san’s resistance was futile, and the contents of the letter were read out indifferently.

To Chemie.

My Sid wants to go with Allen-kun, so let him join.

Of course, I won’t ask for free.

Last month, you lost a big game on gambling and borrowed a great amount from『Fox Finance』, right?

I shall clear that debt for you.

Not a bad deal for you either, is it?

So, take care of my Sid, will ya?

Goodbye.
