PART 2

As someone who is conscious of me, I understand why she doesn’t want to meet my eyes, and that’s why Welmina should be able to gather various information about that.

[Have you heard anything about me from Lydi?]

[I don’t think so. He asked me about Jule-sama, though. Should I ask her about it next time?]

[That’s right…. And I’d like to dissolve any misunderstanding. Please do so.]

[Leave it to me!]

It should be fine if I ask Welmina to do it.

Although I have some thoughts regarding the game’s events, I still haven’t fully understood that Lydi is the game’s main character.

[There will be a training camp where high school students will go out of the school grounds and go to areas where monsters appear. Today let’s think of practical ways to use magic for that day.]

We moved into the stadium where the Fighting Tournament was held, and us students gathered on the stage within it.

Since I can’t make a sudden turn while riding on the wheelchair, I leave it at the entrance of the stadium during outdoor lessons and partic.i.p.ate while standing on my own feet.

Since the teacher in charge is the same as the one in the middle school, the roster doesn’t change.

Noe who is teaching under the sun always looks refres.h.i.+ng as always.

[Is Sheryl-kun going to appear in the training camp?]

[It might be difficult at this time….]

[The suspect for the previous attack hasn’t been caught yet, after all.]

Even though teachers will accompany the students during the training camp, the students will be scattered into groups, and they will form formations when a monster appears in order to deal with it, so an opening will be formed.

Besides, if someone with an unstable physique like me attends, the teachers will also be troubled.

I do want to join, but my spirit wavers when I think that I’m going to pull at everyone’s legs.

[I will obediently stay at home.]

[Look forward to the souvenirs!]

[….What do you plan to buy?]

[That’s of course, a rare and high-valued── What is it?]

The back has suddenly turned noisy and both Welmina and I turned our heads towards it.

The center of the ruckus was Lydi.

She seemed to have taken lessons with Rafael and the others suddenly.

Rafael-kun! I really don’t mind it!]

[I do. What’s with that way of speaking? Her strength was acknowledged that’s why she’s here!]]

Rafael-kun….?

I was more concerned about the way she addressed him than the ruckus.

I wonder if Rafael also told her to call him that?

So it’s not just me.

Now that I recall, Camille and Serge themselves also said to freely talk to them. Perhaps their fellow cla.s.smates are equal with them inside their head.

I shake my head and return my focus on the disturbance.

It looks like the start of the turmoil was someone from the cla.s.s who disdained Lydi.

I don’t see the other party that’s being pushed by Rafael, but his/her face has probably turned blue by now.

Noe also hurriedly went to mediate.

[This is good. It would be nice if the badmouthing towards Lydi decreases.]

[Is it to that extent?]

[It’s because she seems to have had a lot of opportunities to be together with His Highness and company recently. Most of them are jealous. But recently there have been hara.s.sments a

nd she’s troubled.]

Lydi still hasn’t made her debut on the social society, so her side connection with the other n.o.bles are thin just like me. That’s probably why she’s in the position that’s easy to bully.

My case is different since I have Big Brother as deterrence, so other than the first incident, I never got hara.s.sed again.

[I’m really glad His Highness isn’t one who judges people based on their status. Just like that time with Sheryl-kun, I hope he protects Lydi, too.]

[Wait, just like that time with me?]

[Ah….]

On my question, Welmina clearly looks like her tongue just slipped.

Rafael protected me? I had no idea about it.

[Uhh, look, it’s that.]

[Welmina, clearly explain.]

I held Welmina’s hand as she spoke ambiguously, I looked up at her light green eyes.

And then as if resigning, Welmina started talking while scratching her cheek.

[Don’t look at me with such eyes…. A year ago, when Jule-Senpai’s thunder struck down, Rafael-sama’s also struck down quietly, you know? That was why everyone had been watching from a great distance.]

[Quietly?]

[I’m telling you, it was really scary! At first, it couldn’t be seen in plain sight, but the atmosphere was there. I would prefer getting scolded instead of that if it was me.]

Welmina shuddered as if remembering that time.

But I have absolutely no memory of it.

[Where did you hear that story from?]

[At the Salon.]

[You sure were talking as if you’ve seen it personally, huh?]

[Ahahaー]

Only males are allowed entrance in the Boy’s Salon. Just where on earth were you peeping from?

[When it comes to Sheryl-kun, I can’t say for certain. It’s just that, well, a n.o.ble’s characteristic expression or something, you know what I mean? Typically. Something like a silent pressure. With that, it became a common understanding to everyone that there will be a sanction coming from His Highness if ever they lay a hand on you. At least that’s what the boys told the girls.]

[Why didn’t you tell me?]
