Chapter 51 (2/2)

(Don't tell me, a prince……!)

Emilia who was making delusions thought of things that she would not normally.

However, seeing the person that appeared after the knock, she returned to reality.

「First year of the Magic Department, Laura Edmonds desu!」

The girl with a lovely voice that named herself.

She is none other than Emilia's student.

「What……Laursan huh……haa〜……」

「Why are you letting out a sigh after seeing my face?!」

「Ah, no, I'm sorry. It's not like its Laursan's fault」

It was not like she could say that she was having delusions about her fateful prince, so she could only dodge the question.

「Muu〜」, Laura puffed her cheeks with a pouting expression but did not pursue any further.

And from behind that Laura, Charlotte and Anna appeared.

It is the usual three girls' gathering.

「From how you look, it seems that your discussion went well with your Otou-san huh, Laursan」

「Yes! Thanks to everyone, I won't be dropping out!」

Laura answered with a smile.

It is really cute.

Hearing that she would not be leaving school, Emilia also became happy.

「Fufufu, I was with her after all, of course desu wa」

「I became Laura's Otou-san's disciple. It was a very meaningful time」

Both Charlotte and Anna also had satisfied faces.

In fact, it is something to be celebrated. Emilia did not have any objection about that.

However, in front of Laura, Charlotte and Anna who are excellent students but problem students at the same time, Emilia became nervous.

It is the summer vacation.

Emilia wanted to spend it without any serious problem.

That is why, she wished that the girls would not bring problems to the faculty room.

However, in Laura's two hands, she hugged an unknown thing and literally brought it.

「And so, Emilisensei. We picked up an egg like floating in the Mezzel River on our way to go back. Do you know what egg it is?」

Laura slowly placed the egg on top of Emilia's table.

It has a light cream color and light blue stripes. It is larger than a person's head.

Just seeing it, Emilia had a bad feeling.

「Floating in the Mezzel river? Come to think of it, I heard that yesterday, heavy rain fell on the mountain's direction and the river has risen. Is it an egg that flowed from the mountain?」

Emilia lifted the egg.

That instant, she felt a presence moving inside.

「……don't tell me, it's about to hatch?」

「Who knows……? I do not really know but, I thought that maybe the school's sensei might know. Thank goodness Emilisensei was around!」

Laura made an innocent smile.

However, Emilia was not happy at all.

“Why did you bring this suspicious egg on the day I'm on duty?”, Emilia thought.

She even wanted to tell the girls to immediately return it to the place they picked it up.

However, there is also the possibility that the egg is a tremendous monster's egg and make huge casualties because of throwing it away.

That's right. Laura, the girls, they might have prevented a huge calamity beforehand.

Emilia could not treat them improperly.

「From its size, I'll be convinced even if I'm told it's a dragon's egg. But, dragon's eggs shouldn't have this patterns. It's not like I completely remember the eggs of sub-species like Wyverns or Leviathans, but……I think I'd remember it if it has such a unique pattern like this」

「Emilisensei also have things that she don't know about huh」

Laura whispered as if she thought it was unexpected.

「Well of course. No one knows everything……ahh, but. I know someone who knows almost everything」

And then, Charlotte blinked her eyes and tilted her head.

「Was there a scholar-type instructor in this school? This might be rude but, I completely thought that all the instructors are people who specialize in battle」

「U〜n……in fact, it's like that. Think of it, there's one sensei on a different dimension right? Have you forgotten?」

Emilia said it as if to speak of a riddle.

And then, the girls, Laura, Charlotte and Anna looked at each other with a strange expression.

An expression that says, “was there someone like that?”.

They cannot be blamed.

It is not a person who appears in front of students after all, and there are only a few opportunities for her to show off her knowledge.

However, that person, she made the apt.i.tude measuring equipment, writes the textbooks used in the school, leaving achievements when it comes to brains as well.

Her combat ability is standing out too much that it is almost forgotten.

The Great Sage Calrotte Gyrdorea. This school's princ.i.p.al.

That is the answer to the riddle.
