Chapter 120

The next day, Master, Shuria and I went up to the entrance of the school.

Today, the lectures at the school begin.

「Okay, see you ladies later. I have something to look for at the library like I told you.」

「See you later, master.」

「See ya!」

「Yeah, do your best, you two.」

We waved and saw master off together.

「Okay, let’s go then.」

「Sure!」

As the guideboard said on the way, we made our way to the room for instruction.

Adventurers of different ages were walking here and there, but as we neared the building there was a very different group that were walking together.

Their outfits were identical, and their ages were about the same as me.

As opposed to outsiders like me and Shuria, these must be Carbonheim’s insiders…and elites as well.

(Well, who cares? It may suck to clearly be looked down on by a group like them, but even if I notice it doesn’t amount to anything.)

It’s one thing for them to be buzzing around your face doing nothing, but if they try to sting me in the town, I’ll crush them until they’re all gone.

They were walking toward the very new beautiful classrooms on the right side.

And we were walking towards the slightly dirty and old ones on the left.

As we finally entered the building, we stepped into the class labeled 『Outside Student Class』.

There was a lectern in the front and desks ascending up the classroom in steps.

Since we arrived a bit before the teaching began, there were only some students here and there.

「We might have come a bit too early.」

「It’s better than being here late.」

Quiet conversation echoed around the room, so we took our seats on the center level on the right side of the room.

「Oh, good morning! You’re cute today too!」

「Ah, morning. You two are here early.」

Without any time to look around, Leone and Spinne came into the classroom.

They entered the classroom and waved at us, coming closer and sitting on both sides of where we were sitting.

Someone looking at us from the front would see Leone, me, Shuria, and then Spinne.

「Good morning.」

「Morning!」

「Hmm, ahh, so cute! Let me pet you!」

「Whaaa? S, stop! Let go of me!」

(She really does like children…even if they aren’t like Shuria.)

I remembered our time in the town as Spinne embraced Shuria.

That time she held me, Lusha, and Kellil like that.

Those foolish memories pricked me one by one like poisoned needles.

「Leone, do you remember? When we were in the village, Spinne did that all the time.」

「…yeah.」

「Do you all go back to there, Leone?」

「No, well, not now…」

「I knew it. I heard what happened there. It’s no surprise seeing as you know that I’m a half-beast.」

「!!」

Just then her face was disturbed by a sad look.

No, that’s not it, Leone. I didn’t want you to make that face.

「Don’t make a face like that. Master saved me from it. I don’t think about the past.」

So, sorry about that.

But there is something I won’t forgive…

「Well, Marris is…」

「My mother couldn’t take the journey and passed away. I was almost dead when he helped me.」

「!! Oh, then, um…」

That’s why I said,

「Leone, could you tell me where my village is? I have no idea where it is.」

「So you want to know, so you can get revenge on the villagers?」

「Not at all. I told you, I don’t think about the past.」

「Well, why…」

I used my mother, saying,
