Volume 5 Chapter 2 (1/2)
Inside a roo furniture, there was El who re his preparations for school
“El-sama, it’s almost time to leave”
Matthias, who had changed into casual clothes for going out, called out to the similarly dressed El
“Yes… I understand”
When he saw El stand up while looking depressed, Matthias got worried and began to ask a question
“Is there soe of absence to the acade well”
“That’s not it It’s just that I don’t want to go to the academy, somewhat”
When those words was muttered by his master in a soft voice, the overprotective retainer cannot conceal his disco his first day of school and Matthias confir unusual with El’s expression yesterday However El had his head lowered quietly, obviously feeling reluctant today
“Did so I will eliminate the cause at once”
Various possibilities came into Matthias’ mind
El’s unusual silver hair e for aristocrats to take interest towards El since he was adh El requested for surveillance to stop, it looks like Matthias needs to keep a closer watch even more than before
He did not show it on his face but he must have felt hurt in reality, Matthias reproached his inexperience as he thought like that
“I don’t want to go… together with Matthias”
“If that is the case, it will be unreasonable forcing—- Would you please repeat that one more time?”
While Matthias was plotting on how to eli strange so he asked El once again
“I don’t want Matthias, I want to go with Edna today!”
El went out of the roo what he found difficult to say, while Matthias became speechless due to too much shock
“P-please wait a moment! W-why is it?”
Co back to reality after a while, Matthias cried out after El, who had his bag in his shoulders and started preparing to leave
The maids and the butlers of West Vern House were bewildered when they saw Matthias showing an extremely different personality co their usual work indifferently
“Because yesterday…”
El looked back towards Matthias while letting out a sigh
Then, El started talking to explain the reason as he recalled the events yesterday
[Elmer]
The rest of his class break, so when lunch tiht that he certainly did well for his first day in school El finished his business in the faculty roo one hour of lessons
“It’s an eates!”
“I wonder why? Anyway, let’s go take a look!”
The quiet hallway froed and became noisy
Several groups of excited upperclassirls made a commotion and run one after another A lot ofthem, too
They looked very happy, maybe a famous person came to the academy, I was inwardly puzzled when I entered the classroom
Rent immediately accosted me when I sat down
“Hey, the hallas very noisy just now Did so happen?”
“Everyone was talking about a certain Knight-saates”
“Is that true!?”`
Rent slapped both hands onup
“What’s theyou can borrohat you left behind from the next class”
I re, and that he was just going to borrow from a friend
“That’s not it~!! Why are you so cal to look, too!”
“I don’t really care”
I’ name like that so I immediately refused
“Don’t you know him!?”
It appears like he’s so popular to the extent that there’s no one in the country who doesn’t know about hiot troubled on how I should reply, Rent pulledpassionately
“Knight of the Purple Blaze-saot an overall victory in the Tournaed by the Royal Family themselves!”
“Fun~ sigh”
Rent’s eyes are shi+ning like stars This Knight-sa person I can understand your desire to see him as soon as possible, but I wish you would stop forcefully pulling
“And you know, he’s naturally an aluhts, he stays cal! Despite that, he disappeared recently And even though I never saw his a lot! But why is he here in the academy? Ah, could it be he’s here for Shenryl-sama?”
It see hoded it became in the academy, it may be not just Rent who likes that person but several others, too
Leaving that aside, I thought about Shenryl-chan I intended to talk to her today but she just averted her face froh we live in the sa avoided What should I do…?
“We’re here! daathered already, I can’t see anything!”
It’s a large crowd just as Rent said, it’s as if all students from the academy came out
“It looks like we can see from here”
I called out to Rent after co across a space where there are few people, however I became at loss for words when I saw the center of the crowd I rubbed s Then I opened ain
“What? Did you see?”
“Ah… yeah…? I saw, but I feel like I saw so”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying! Move a bit It’s the real one! It’s the real Matthias-sama! He’s as cool as expected!”
I was pushed aside, then got hit at the back repeatedly by an exited Rent who just saw 『Knight of the Purple Blaze-sama』
“So cool…”
<note: the=”” word=”” used=”” here=”” is=”” kakkoii,=”” which=”” can=”” also=”” =””>
I can’t believe this scene in front oflike an idiot Inside my head, his words spin round and round
What the heck is this!? Matthias is Knight of the Purple Blaze-sama!?
“He’s always cool…”
<note: this=”” tilish=”” equivalent=”” of=”” ‘cool’=”” is=”” used,=”” which=”” is=”” ‘kuru’=””>
“Cool, huh…”
Even though I can admit that Matthias is attractive (kakkoii), it’s hard to nod in assent when Matthias is claimed to be cool (kuru)
“I want to become like that, too”
“…I see”
Matthias is really attractive (kakkoii),However, I think that the usual Matthias is not cool (kuru) In the end, I decided not to tell Rent anything I supposed I shouldn’t destroy a pure young man’s dream like that
More than anything, I’m very embarrassed I want to leave here quickly before it beco troublesome
“Class is starting, let’s go back to the classroom”
“That’s right Ah, the Head!”
When I followed Rent’s line of sight, I saw ahis sith a handkerchief
It’sthe Headht for me not to meet him when I entered the academy
“Shenryl-sa, it looks like she went to the Headmaster’s office”
“It seems like it”
The Headh the rows of students and after arriving to where Matthias is at last, he then guided him to the Headmaster’s office’s direction while Shenryl-chan drove away the students this time
However, I felt anxious when Matthias turned his head restlessly as if looking for so And then from the distance, I saw Shenryl-chan beca until now
Is it too conceited offor? I sneered at myself and tried to turn my back At that moment, Matthias looked at my way…
“Matthias-sama looked at this way just now!”
Rent, who is supposed to be facing the other way, suddenly raised his voice”
“It’s just your iination”
“Is that so? But just now he absolutely…”
“Was that Matthias-sama?”
Well, it’s only proper to ask which is Matthias-sama since I’m supposed to not know him
“That’s right There’s no way Matthias-sama of the West Vern House, the country’s– no, one of the world’s Great nobles, will notice us”
“Right, right”
I agreed with Rent as alked along the corridor
By the way, the class had already started Well, there’s no student left in the classroom since there’s this incident
I a acquainted to Matthias
No matter what kind of hero Matthias is, even if he has such an ees a different aspect of hie the fact that he’s an important existence who had been with me ever since I was born
However
However, when I think about how our eyes o when he erated wink afterwards…
“Let’s pretend that I don’t know that person,” …is what I thought
“And so, I’ll go with Edna”
“With pleasure” (Edna)
The acadeave that simple explanation and then left with Edna
“Please wait! Can I come fetch you after classes?”
“After classes is no good, too”
The saain if Mathias is there Fortunately, I just barely got away fro I had soo to the Headmaster’s office to meet Matthias
“No way…”
Matthias despaired when his last hope was cut off
“I’m off!”
“I will properly send him off so please do not worry” (Edna)
Leaving Matthias like that, the two of the
“Matthias, there’s no helping it, y’know? It’s your fault for showing off in high school and beco famous!”
Leont called out to his depressed friend, but Matthias just collapsed on his knees without saying anything
“As forme today, too”
Matthias suppressed the feelings of wanting to comment on the words ‘today, too’ and stood up
He unexpectedly had free ti about howfor El to coain
“…That’s right I’ to cook”
Now that his Master is not here, Matthias can divert his loneliness by being of use to hiht so Thus, that idea just came to him
When the afternoon ho to leave
I thought everyone would go hoathered at my seat one after another for some reason
“El, are you free today?”
Soon, one person addressed me
“It’s alright if it’s after school”
I don’t have anything planned today
It seee wait for me at a distance from the academy
Besides, I intended to look around the academy today that’s why I told her I may be late, so I have some free time
“Then, will you come for a while?”
“Sure”
I hoistedonwithout stating our destination
I wonder why that kid has a somewhat stiff face…
