Vol 2 Chapter 2 (2/2)
“You’d better not get into the fight as well”
Did she uous tone of voice pierced her childhood friend like a nail ……Yeah yeah, I understand
“It sounds like the opponent’s attitude could be problematic You can read over some of the data that I’et sleepy when I read soer than a thousand words”
“I’ve looked over it already”
As expected of so time Before he had realized it, his section of the documents had been stacked in front of Enne, who had just replied
—Intervening in a fight, huh? It would be fun if the problem at the research institute was also that simple
Holding back the words that he had alan to walk towards the train’s rear compartment
The rear end of the train was designed to be a vacant space rese a terrace It felt pleasant to stand beneath the suusts of wind
“A trip with everyone, huh?”
Holding onto the railings azed at the passing scenery
……But Arma isn’t here
It was a change fro other than the roaring of wind blowing past his ears and the screeching of the train’s wheels on the rails
In the hot te swayed by the wind However, he see with a somehow lonely sound
Even though the trip’s liveliness should be enjoyable, the companion he felt closest to wasn’t here
“—Hey, Ar a train for the first time in my life”
Although his voice was drowned out by the gusts passing over the terrace, he briefly spoke to himself He didn’t receive an answer He shouldn’t receive an answer Even so, following his usual habit, he spoke in the direction of his shoulder
“It’s really fast and seehtly the opposite”
“Slightly scary?”
……That wasn’t him just now
The voice had come from somewhere close to hied to someone he was very familiar with
“—Kluele-san”
“I also snuck out of there”
The girl’s scarlet hair fluttered in the wind Before he could reply, she came over and stood beside him
“Kluele-san, it see”
“It’s always like that”
She gave a bitter smile like it couldn’t be helped For a few seconds of silence, they stayed like that—
“I’m kind of relieved”
Gazing at the changing scenery, the girl beside Neight gently nodded
“Eh?”
“I often hung out with you during summer vacation, but sometimes you would have a pained expression I wondered what could be so painful……Although I expected it for the most part, you never confirmed my suspicions”
He never realized that about hi hard on Recitations because he wanted to ain He had intended to practice with that in mind —At least, that hat he believed
“Did I really have such an expression?”
“That’s what you looked like before I called out to you just now”
Although she was sloith a somewhat sad color
“But I understand your reason for that, so relax ‘I want to hurry up and ht on”
Sensing other feelings hidden behind those words, Neight lowered his gaze
……I see I made her worry so much
“—I’m sorry”
“I understand how lonely you feel, so you don’t need to apologize But hey”
She gently looked in his direction
It was the saether during summer break It was similar to Mother’s serene expression
“Mio and Kate-sensei and I, we’re all here for you It’s fine if you rely on us more”
Could it be, that’s the reason why Kluele-san had stayed with hihout summer vacation?
“—The wind feels good, doesn’t it?”
It seehts No, perhaps she had noticed theo
As if searching for soazed at the clouds
“Since ere lucky enough to get the chance to go on this trip, we have to enjoy it, right?”
Part 3
The wind is……moist?
After he exited the train, Neight immediately felt a sense of discomfort and stopped in his tracks
Immediately after he had left the station, the hue sic That was probably due to being beside the sea
—Speaking of which, did it feel like this when I rode on a boat?
His otten seasick and could barely look at the ocean, but he definitely remembered the smell
“Oi, Chibi-kun If you don’t coet lost!”
Hearing the voice co from somewhere far away, he reflexively corrected his pace In the ti, he had been separated froroup of classmates
“Ah, co!”
Shouldering his are, he chased after his classmates
“Eh? Ada-san, that’s…”
She carried her luggage in her left hand and held soht hand Wrapped in black cloth, its height exceeded that of her body
“Hm? Ah, this? It’s an old habit of mine If I don’t carry this, I won’t feel relaxed”
So it really was the spear But no matter how you put it, wasn’t that a bladed weapon? In the first place, it was strange that their teacher Kate had given her pere
“……It’s because the teachers at school know about it”
About what? Before he could ask that, the girl suddenly quickened her pace
“Well, various things”
Muttering hastily, the girl reht didn’t ask any further
Please, don’t touch it— her s that
Looking up fro shone under the sun
Trerassy lawn of the main school, the road here was covered in fine sand
“Alright, let’s disband here for now”
The hoe of the class looked over her shoulder at the lobby of the building
“The rooms for the boys in our class are the first and second ones on the east side of the third floor The girls have the third and fourth rooe, and meet back in the central hall in thirty minutes”
Unlike theTherefore, it ice as large as the first-year school building in the main school The first floor was the lobby and the second floor had classroo area
“Well then, we’re on the east side, so it’s this way”
Gripping the rooht
“The layout of the hallways is the same as Tremia Academy’s, isn’t it?”
“It is a branch school, after all Ah, the third room……the second room……Is it here?”
He opened the door to their rooht that unexpectedly shone into his eyes ht involuntarily close his eyes
“Oh, this is a!”
The boys said as they entered the rooazes were focused on thein front of them
Peering through the glass— Looking down from the third floor, the scenery was completely dyed in blue
In the distance, the horizon could be seen A large, transparent azure sea seemed to stretch out past the ends of the world Before that was a beach of white sand that extended out in a straight line
……They could hear the sound of the waves So it was that close
“It’s perfect weather for going down to the ocean Hey, since it’s the first day, how about we go play?”
Leaving their luggage in a corner of the room, what should have been all the boys in the class spread their arms
“Eeh, don’t we have classes from now on?”
“Oh, um It was a joke, just a joke”
In a joking
“But hey, the girls ive a lecture”
“Is that so…?”
Kluele-san and Mio-san, he had siently listen to a lecture
“Uwa, the weather’s a in the sea! There’s barely anyone down at the beach Could it be, is this Tremia’s private beach?”
Setting down her es ran to the
“Ao and take a swim!”
Ada took off the top layer of her school unifor below that wasn’t a turtleneck sweater, but a swimsuit
Holding swi
“Hey, hey Wait, you two”
Instantly, Kluele grabbed their collars
“Weren’t you already told that it isn’t allowed? And don’t you guys understand that if I let you go, the teachers will get o even knowing that?”
“Eh, aah It was a joke, just a joke ……Kluele has a really scary look in her eyes”
“Hey A”
Standing across from each other, the two spoke at the same time
……Really now Saying things like it was a joke and all that while wearing a swimsuit beneath their clothes
“It didn’t sound like you tere joking, that’s why I seemed scary”
“Kululu, ita class representative”
While taking out studying materials, Mio cackled
“……Who would recommend me to be class representative instead?”
“Ehh, me, me!”
Really, was she serious or just being ie frouilt Well, she didn’t dare confirm it
“But won’t the teachers also feel that way? There’s no way they would give a lecture on such a hot day”
Putting on her uniform over her swimsuit, Ada complained
……That’s what I think too, but no teacher would openly say that, right?
“Ooh, is there really such a nificent beach this close to us?”
As he held onto an arorously opened the
“There’s barely anyone there! Let’s get the students to do soo down to the sea to pla—”
“Zessel The students are waiting in the classroom”
The door to his room He turned around and realized that before he knew it, the figure of his colleague had been standing there carrying a textbook in her arms
“……H-Hey, Enne-san So you were here?”
“Would you like to tell the headmaster what you just said?”
The feave hih the weather should have been boiling hot, a chill shot up his spine
“N-No, I’m fine It was a joke, just a joke”
“In that case, hurry up and go to the lecture hall”
“……Yes, right away”
Reluctantly, he took out his teaching materials
“While the students are studying hard, we can’t neglect our duties either”
—Surely the students want to go out and play!
Gru inwardly, Zessel hurried after Enne
When I think about it now
At that tiood to relax a little? I think so
At least to Enne and I, that day— the first day of camp was the first, last, and only time we could have fooled around
