104 104. As a lecturer (1/2)

After Luino's slightly radical greeting, ...... I went back to my work as a teacher.

”Wow, sir, ...... you're early.

You're a teacher. The innkeepers are making breakfast, so please go to the dining room when you're ready.

Hi, .......

I couldn't help but smile at the sleepy female student's unenthusiastic reply.

It seems that many students are weak in the morning, but it helps that they wake up on time to some extent.

It seems that there are no sluggish students who are woken up by kids like me.

After breakfast, today was the day for students to decide on their own tasks.

The range of their activities is determined to some extent, and they are warned not to go outside the town.

...... The knights guarding the town have been informed of this as well.

(Now, all that remains is ......)

I glanced at the corner of the dining room.

The other students are also glancing at you--Iris.

You can see that the expression on his face is very serious and he is ready to fight immediately.

I'm sure you've already figured this out before ......, but at times like this, Iris is the type of person whose face shows.

I'm sure she's following my words and staying alert at all times,......, but she's frightening her classmates.

Aria, sitting opposite me, sipped her breakfast soup with a slightly sleepy look on her face.

She does not seem to be the least bit nervous, which is to be expected.

However, Aria's strangely carefree expression against Iris's spirited expression created a strange atmosphere.

I sighed and walked over to Iris.

”You don't have to look so scared.

It's okay.　Sir?　Did I look like that?

Iris was somewhat embarrassed and surprised when I pointed it out. As I thought, she didn't seem to be aware of it.

To this Iris.

”It's been like this since Dr. Alta left the inn.

As if to explain, Aria opens her mouth.

When I left the inn, ...... I guess that's when I was greeted by Luino.

The way Aria said it, it sounded like she was accusing me as well, but let's just assume she was mistaken.

I'm relieved that you came back without any problems.

”That's true. I'm a teacher, you know.

I replied and sat down in a chair near them.

That's none of your business. But you are strong and persuasive.

But you're strong and persuasive. So Iris, you've been working hard since this morning to keep your promise to me?

Yes!　No, that's not what I meant. It's just that ...... I'm aware of it.

That's right. Maybe I should apologize for that.

What do you have to apologize for, Mr. Schweizer? ......
