59 Occupational Experience Learning (2/2)

I only intended to check his appearance in secret However, our eyes ain

It wasn’t by chance The knight who looks quite younger than Sir Keirai, probably wants to say so since he opened his mouth repeatedly I only stared at hi on the answers, and didn’t seem to notice

What’s thelook

“El? El? It’s your turn next”

“Eh?”

“Hurry up and ask a question”

Rent urgedand I was the only one left before I knew it

They lances focused on me

“Uh, uhmm…”

What do I do? As long as I ask soht Order

“Uh here for a while now…”

“You remembered me!” The person looked at me directly when I addressed him

“Remember…?”

When he heard what I said, the Knight showed a big s loudly

“I did not think that you can speak It’s me, Alois”

“Alois… ah!”

I recalled hie, he was the person who travelled with e

I don’t havein my chest

“It has been a long ti time!”

“Wait… eh?”

Soht that, Mr Alois stepped infront of me

With a smooth movement, he walked until he reached before ht Order uniforer than the last time I saw him

There were sounds of firravel

“I auard you that time — Princess”

The Knight on his knees took th

“Princess?”

“That time?”

The inside of ht, it was at that ti me Rather, it is more correct to say that I had no time to do so

I couldn’t stop hi and patch up this situation at the very least Suspicious looks froathered at us

Cold sweat ran on my back

What should I do?

“Really, you~”

I clasp Mr Alois’ hand and clenched it hard I went behind hied him to stand up

“I’ames like that”

“Game…?”

I said that in a cheerful tone As if he did not co expression

I successfully forced Mr Alois to stand up while losing balance, then continued speaking so no one would cut into my story

“I was little and you did not seetime so you won’t know!”

“What do you…”

I pinched Mr Alois at his back with allunnecessary

(Listen, just follow my lead!)

I murmured in a low voice so other people won’t hear Alois-san nodded repeatedly like a broken toy

“Right, right! We played the princess game when you were little!”

The surrounding people clearly wanted to ask a question when they heard that Mr Alois nodded o

“Alois…? Are you former acquaintances?”

“Eh, y-yes! That’s right We were acquainted A long tiht”

Is Mr Alois’ true nature actually an honest person? He’s so unskilled at telling lies He shook as he responded to his colleague’s question Noso much

“Eh, but didn’t you just transferred to the Imperial Capital? It’s weird”

This tih I lived at the Imperial Capital before the ti about the town I also can’t say I was under house arrest

“It’s not the Imperial Capital Why did you make that kind of mistake?”

I hardened my heart and talked towards Alois-san

The doubtful glances around us are painful

“Ah, it was like that I made a little mistake We played at the countryside before…”

“Eeeh~ so it’s accidental”

I don’t knohether they actually believed that but I can only nod in agreement

“Then, El? What was that ‘princess’ before?”

Tch You remembered?

The sot vanished fruitlessly

“That, you know, it’s the p…princess game”

I said noncommittally

“Huh?”

The sight of everyone hanging their

“It’s a iven roles to play And a long tio, I acted as the princess”

“Heh… so it was like that”

I can’t take it back! Even if you show syh this

“The tiht, aren’t those just re brother Alois?”

I looked up at Mr Alois, who had an expression as if he just heard so he never did before

Nn?

For some reason, the one to smash the frozen at sound of explosion nearby

“What?”

Everyone stopped talking and looked at the source of the sound

“Lord Matthias…?”

Alois raised a miserable voice

Matthias stood near the site of explosion The knight close by, the one sparring with him, is unable to stand up in fear Matthias pursed his lips firmly, his expressionless face spoke of bad mood

And then, he is glaring this way

What happened while ere speaking? I did not look at Matthias at all so I can’t read the situation But I acutely thought that Iat here

The knight with soot on his face got up in panic, and went away from Matthias

The Knights ere answering our questions until now dropped their voices and started talking

“Lord Matthias is absolutely furious Was he not satisfied with his sparring partner? But soht now… What should we do?”

“It’s i a rest from an illness, but he didn’t weaken at all! If Lord Matthias become serious today, I’ll become cinders!”

The Knights said that Matthias ht be under a lot of stress

Right then, a good idea hit me

I floated a sed the hem of Mr Alois’ clothes, he stooped down a little

“Mr Alois, on’t you beco partner?”

“That… it’s impossible! I can’t become his opponent!”

We talked in whispers so that our voices will not leak around

“It’s fine Matthias is gentle, I do not think he will turn someone into cinders Incidentally, I want you to co aside that you kept silent about your visit here to the Knight Order, don’t look so much to my direction since it will be exposed to others that I know you’”

Hiiiii! Mr Alois gave a small shriek

“I cannot say soet killed!”

But he’s the only one I can ask to deliver a s if he stays here since he cannot lie, it’s dangerous

“It’s alright Just hitting hih Come on, please?”

“I am sorry but it’s impossible! It’s absolutely impossible! It’s impossible, impossible!”

I pushed Mr Alois, who shook his head in complete denial, towards Matthias

“Please have mercy on me I still want to live~~!!”

“Fuu”

I sighed as I saw off Mr Alois—– no, Alois alked step by step while saying these coet rid of the nuisance Alois repeatedly bowed down several ti what I asked a while ago

After speaking for short while, he looked at me with an expression dyed with hopelessness, as if he just received a written invitation to hell His eyes are asking for help

It looks he doesn’t want to fight with Matthias verylooks will now stop with this I decided to give hiratitude, so I smiled and waved my hand

But when Alois saw thened even further

“Is it strange?”

Matthias floated a sain Then, Alois shook both his hands as if he’s denying so desperately

Matthias answers back and Alois lowers his head again, the practiceair is strained, too, and attention gathered in the training area

“Start!”

The voice echoed, and it was Matthias who acted first Itor it did not reach ht Matthias spoke words I cannot comprehend, a pillar of fire rose in the place where Alois is

“Uaaaaaa!”

From our side, rather than a cry, shouts of joy that contained admiration boiled

Alois, did you burn? I thought, but just as you’d expect froed

When Matthias saw that, he repeatedly bohten his stance

It’s not just the heat of the flarounds went up at once

Matthias’ attacks increased in nuulfed in fire, both their figures disappeared

“…sorry, Alois Rest in peace”

Matthias has aintent When ic was mixed in, I did not think it will becorounds became hell

Though I was told before that Matthias is strong, I thought it was only a compliment I can’t believe it was actually true

“Saaave h…”

I heard a voice of so the dust storm I backed away

“Who?”

“It’s Alois Princess…guhh!”

The thick sradually thinned, Alois appeared at the other side even though I was sure he was still fighting He’s tattered and burnt here and there

“Huh? Since ere you here?”

“Isn’t that cruel?! If I stayed there any longer… Uuugh… I’et killed”

Alois is in the verge of tears When I saw the face of a sobbing ive kind words

“I slightly thought you’re no-good… This is a practicethat The spectators aren’t daht?” (El)

That’s right Not even a spark flew to the Knights standing beside me

“What’s with that irresponsibility?! When I conveyed what Princess wanted, Lord Matthias s ic! Especially after Princess waved at !”

While Alois desperately appealed, voices of the other Knights reached us

“Hey, Alois! You’re still in the middle of the match Come back!”

“Look, they’re calling you”

“No, thank you! This is the only safe zone I continually trained without forgetting uard you, but I reconfirer I will only ask this of you, so please save me!”

“That is, Matthias and I…”

When I answered Alois who had his hands in a worshi+ping manner, we heard someone’s flustered, loud voice

“His Highness Prince Ricardo is approaching!”

Prince Ricardo? I inclined my head in question of the name that only I did not know The peaceful ated

No one spoke It’s unthinkable for a place as noisy as this, but it rapped in silence

“What is happening here?”

“First Prince Ricardo appears to be coht have heard Lord Matthias visited”

Alois told me in a low voice even as he bowed I answered Alois without raising my head either

“Matthias?”

“Prince Ricardo and Lord Matthiasthe acadeh as the clouds so I do not know it in detail Which re her head?”

When I strained round Not just one person’s footstep The sound grew little by little as the pace became faster

“Why, you say? Of course, soreat as a prince…”

Even I, understand that a prince is a person of a high position It will be bad if he saw my face, but we never met so he may not know me

“Uhmm… Excuse me for my impoliteness, but what is Princess’s relation to Lord Matthias?”

“He’s souardian?”

I will be troubled if he asks again Even until now, I still do not know the reason why Matthias kindly looks after me Before, when he pressed me for questions and I said I was troubled how I should live after suddenly being thrown out, he was angry

“I just have to ht?! I will follow Prince Elmer even if I die!” he passionately stated, and it just beca unsaid since then

“Lord Matthias is soovern vast lands in the west, a great family that holds the name of Four Major Aristocrats I cannot be compared to such an absurd social position However, Princess addresses Lord Matthias with such familiarity… Then when it comes to it, the Princess is…? What in the world?”

<note: the=”” actual=”” ter=”” without=”” honorifics’,=”” which=”” indicates=”” familiarity,=”” superiority=”” or=”” of=”” equal=”” status=”” and=”” someti=”” -san(o=””>

Alois started worrying and fell silent By the e’re having this conversation while we are kneeling and looking down like everyone

The footsteps stop, and there are quiet arguing voices instead Is that the voice of Matthias? It is unbearably anxious

“That is…?”

As a conclusion, I did not see prince’s appearance The person who appears to be the prince took the ar to our direction I only saw his back Also, there is another tall man who also had his back turned

Is he by any chance a prince?

I don’t know But both of thereat people He looks like an important person so I was relieved he did not looked here

I have a feeling that my eyes met Matthias for an instant He had an unusually troubled expression when he looked at me but since the his companion is a prince, it may be inevitable

“Do your best”

I wordlessly said that by just ain It will be bad if I attracted attention

After a while, the prince party left with light footsteps The string of the tension was cut and sounds returned to the training area

Matthias disappeared when I looked up, it seems like he was taken by the prince I really felt they are actual friends

“A~~! I’ll boast about this in class tomorrow!”

“You’re right”

Includingthat all the students are excited

For a while afterwards, our classht Order will look at us with eyes of the yearning Thankfully, Alois seemed to have faded from everyone’s memory
