Part 1
”—Well then, allow me to introduce our newest students to everyone”
Presiding over the asses, Mitsuki's voice resounded within the dimmed hall
Standing on the stage with Mitsuki under the spotlight were ten-odd girls dressed in Midgard's uniform
Including mine, all eyes of the students in the audience were directed at the stage in anticipation
”This brings back memories, Mononobe”
Sitting on ht, Iris commented quietly
”Yeah They're the first batch of new students since Tia”
I keptat Tia, as sitting on my left Tia averted eye contact in embarrassment
”Please don't recall what happened then Tia caused so much trouble for everyone”
”Yeah—But no one minds anymore”
Stroking Tia's head, I replied
Back then, Tia considered herself a dragon and had iainst Mitsuki when she denied Tia's identity as a dragon
As a result, the majority of the students feared Tia and she was not placed into a honed to Brynhildr Class where ed But after the Basilisk battle, Tia's interactions expanded and during the school festival, she demonstrated to me that she had made close friends
”Hmm Thanks But Tia is very worried whether they'll mess up like Tia”
Tia cast a gaze of worry at the girls on the stage
They had started introducing theht to left It was now a southeast Asian girl's turn Since she was unable to use Midgard's lingua franca of japanese, Mitsuki spoke on her behalf
Including this girl, more than half of the new students were new to me
However, I already knew the four on the left These four stood out inattention froe
—Very conspicuous, as one would expect
Like Tia, I was very worried about them
It could very well turn into even worse chaos than Tia's time
To prevent these four fro out too ether with the other new students whose arrival to Midgard had been delayed by NIFL's imposed inspection
—Please, don't say anything weird
Seeing it was her turn next, I prayed in my heart
”—Next is Kili-san”
The instant Mitsuki spoke this name, a clamor rose up in the hall
”Everyone ard's protection in order to defy NIFL's intervention Due toin the Principality of Erlia, it took plenty of effort However, I am extreard”
While presenting the official story for why Kili transferred, Mitsuki grie only I could see The other students most likely missed it
As the student council president, she was obliged to deliver diplomatic statements to suit occasions, but this ti
Kili had transferred into Midgard before under the identity of Tachikawa Honoka The fact that Honoka and Kili were the same person was not disclosed and ordinary students probably would not question it But to Mitsuki, she was probably having quite s
Refraining fro out the full name of Kili Surtr Muspelhei her with the dragon-worshi+ping cult, the Sons of Muspell
From the perspective of ordinary students, Kili was an activist against NIFL's unfair treatment of Ds
As long as Kili maintained it, this cover story would be perfect
”Nice to meet you, everyone My naard and would like to get along with all of you However—”
Kili started with an ordinary self-introduction, but halfway through, she suddenly altered her tone
Her exuded aura changed After narrowing her eyes to gaze sharply at the students, she declared in an ice-cold voice:
”—You all know Mononobe Yuu, right? He is ive her, got that? Please remember this well, everyone”
After issuing this warning, Kili produced a business-like smile
The entire hall fell silent Recovering first, Mitsuki coughed
”Umm Kili-san has just made some inappropriate and easily misconstrued statements and she will be properly educated afterwards Until her twisted mindset is corrected, I shall have her write repentance essays nonstop, so please do not worry, everyone”
Mitsuki stared at Kili while speaking in a co tone of voice
”Oh no even more repentance essays!?”
Kili grunored her and started to introduce the next new student
”Next is Ritra-san She is Kili-san's cousin Due to the discovery of Ds, the ability to transmute matter, in the family, she has transferred in as well”
The one being introduced was the girl two sizes smaller than Kili—Vritra
Of course, she was not a D and Ritra was an alias However, there was no way in hell we could call her the black dragon—”Black” Vritra
To be honest, we also had the option of keeping her in confinement, but Iris said ”I'd feel so sorry for Vritra-chan if she had to watch the house alone!”
—Hence, enrolling her as a student made it easier to keep her under supervision Thus, we transferred her into the school according to the procedure for Ds
Bored, Vritra stretched and said:
”Yawn Oh, hmm, I am Ritra That is all”
As though saying that was enough of a self-introduction, she looked at Mitsuki The students were looking at the uned her as a different kind of weirdo compared to Kili
Mitsuki sighed lightly andtwo
