Chapter 16: Strawberry parfait desu

It was too early for lunch, so the cafeteria was empty.

But even so, the cafeteria’s Oba-chans are working, and it was thankful since it’s possible to order.

「Excuse me〜. Two strawberry parfaits please〜」

「Ara, you girls are small. I’ll make it bigger a little」

「Thank you very much!」

It was the first time something good happened for being small.

But even that is said, Laura is small because she is 9, and it’s not like her growth is slow.

She should have a nice body like her mother soon. Probably.

「Let’s go to the window side. It has a good view」

「Desu ne!」

Outside the cafeteria, an ornamental garden was spread.

It would be a scramble for the window seat during meal time, but since there is no one right now, there is no need to be worried.

Laura placed the two orders of strawberry parfait on a tray, and walked towards the window seat.

When she reached it, an unexpected person was there.

「A-re? Isn’t it Charlotte-san!」

「Laura-san?! and, uhm……was it Anna-san?」

「Why do you know my name?」

It should be the first time these two met.

Even so, she was called her name, so Anna made a curious expression and tilted her head.

「Fufu. I am aiming for the school’s strongest. I am checking all the students that looks strong. Especially the same school year very carefully!  Ahh, I have excused you. I am Charlotte Gazard, a first year at the Magic Department. Anna-san, you are on my “I defeat someday list”」

「……regardless of your flashy look, what a diligent person」

「Fufufu……」

Charlotte smiled fearlessly.

But, was Anna’s words praising her.

Laura couldn’t judge it, so she didn’t say anything about it.

「Charlotte-san also had strawberry parfait desu ne」

「I-It’s not like I came here to eat strawberry parfait you know. I just needed to feed sugar to my mind and body that had gotten tired during self-training desuwa!」

「But that’s strawberry parfait right. We’re having the same!  Can we have a seat together?」

「I have no reason to refuse. You’re free to do what you want」

「Thank you very much!  I’ll get the seat next to you!」

When Laura was sitting as if to stick to Laura,

「Then, I’ll sit on the other side」

Anna went to the seat faced to Charlotte, and started to stare at her face.

「……is looking at a person eating a parfait that interesting?」

「Parfait has nothing to do with it. It’s just, I thought that magicians are hard to see if they are strong just by looking」

「Ara. Then you, are you saying that warriors can see how strong they are just by seeing?」

「I know it somehow」

「He〜……I also know somehow about magicians, but I don’t know the strength of warriors」

「Somebody knows nothing about what they’re not specialized to」

「Well, that’s right. But, I cannot be saying those naive things forever. If I were to become a first cla.s.s adventurer, I need to be able to see through the skills of anyone」

「I agree. The path of adventurers is steep」

Hearing the two’s conversation, Laura “Oya” thought.

Although Charlotte and Anna were are a different kind of person, their conversation was surprisingly going well.

Charlotte looks domineering at a glance, but her emotions appears in her face quickly so she is easy to read. And when I talked to her, I know that she is a very kind person.

Anna has an expressionless face usually, so it’s hard to know what she is thinking. In reality, even now that I had exchanged swords with a lot of times, I still don’t know what Anna is thinking about. But I know the emotions that she pours to the sword. It was very hot. It was always straight forward. So much, that I was envious just by looking.

「Ah, by the way, recently, I had been able to see through both of those strengths〜」

*MoguMogu* while eating the strawberry parfait, Laura said that casually.

Suddenly, from both Charlotte and Anna, I was glared at with terrible eyes.

I wonder why.

「Laura-san. You, with an innocent face, say things that crushes my pride into pieces sometimes」

「Cruel with a cute face. Piercing my heart」

「I-I didn’t say it with that in purpose……」

I just wanted to join the conversation.

Did I say something that was really weird.

The wretched magic apt.i.tude 9999.

I cannot feel the same as everyone.

I want to be able to read airs quickly,  Laura earnestly prayed.

「For the punishment for disturbing my mind, Laura should teach me magic」

「Eh? Magic to Anna-san?  Why. I was thinking, that Anna-san will go only with the sword」

「Of course, I will fight with the sword. But, I have apt.i.tudes to boost magic and defense magic, it’s a shame to not learn. Especially if I was able to use physical boost, I should be more and more stronger」
