「Leticia……sensei？」
「Yes, Natsuno-kun, what might it be」
In contrast to Taiyou, who was asking her in a timid manner, Leticia answered with a peaceful, refined smile.
The things he wanted to ask her were numerous, too many, and they became entangled.
「What exactly is that way you’re speaking」
He ended up accidentally asking the question that he could care the least about.
「What might you mean by “the way I’m speaking”？」
「Well, uhh……」
「Natsuno-kun」
「Eh? Oh, yes?」
「It is not good for a student to try and mandate their teacher’s speech, you know
Very true.
Leticia was speaking very logically. However, Taiyou had a mountain of things he wanted to say.
The Leticia that he knew was the Leticia that would use “a mistaken Kansai dialect”. Although it was mistaken, once one was to realize that she was a foreigner (although her country had Japanese as its official language), it was easier to accept.
Accepting that, and going so far as to become used to it, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy at her sudden change into refined speech.
Most importantly, he also had the question of why a girl of his same age was now a teacher.
This was also a very logical question.
「Perhaps Husband be wanting to say this」
That was when Kohaku let out a helping hand.
「I always be seeing Leticia-denka’s tone of speech on the television. It be the manner of speaking when conversing with important people. Rather than that tone, it be best for the teacher to speak in a way that be easier to approach her」
She then cut off, turning to Taiyou as if seeking agreement.
「This be what ye may be saying, Husband」
「Eh, no, well……」
He was still a little confused, but he couldn’t just ignore Kohaku’s consideration, so he decided to nod for the time being.
However.
「What’re you saying Natsuno. Dude, do you have the nerve to order around Princess Leticia？」
The one who raised their voice was again Katsuki.
After denying Taiyou’s (actually Kohaku’s) proposal, he turned to Leticia, sending her a zealous glance as if worshipping an idol.
「Teacher! Don’t heed Taiyou’s nonsense. I ask that you speak in an easy-to-understand manner」
「That’s right that’s right！」
「Just speak the way you normally do！」
「Verbally abuse me in that tone！」
Various voices rose up across the classroom, slicing through Katsuki’s words.
Most of them were in agreement with Katsuki’s opinion, and a portion of them were really bad things for students to be saying.
「Everyone, thank you. Then, allow me to do as you say」
She said, smiling broadly.
It was a bewitching smile that caused three whole classmates to grip their chests, falling with a thud.
「I believe that everyone may have quite a few questions, and I will gradually answer them. After all, I will be meeting you every day at this school」
Cheers rose from both boys and girls in response to what Leticia said.
He felt that she had evaded the issue with all her might, but as of now when voices of unity of these imperial guards were rising through the classroom, the atmosphere didn’t feel like the kind where counterarguments would be allowed.
Gathering in formation, they were in the middle of heading for the schoolyard for the opening ceremony. Taiyou secretively spoke to Leticia at the end of the line.
「I feel like I’ve had charisma itself shown before my very eyes」
「Is that right？」
Taiyou replied with “It is”.
She hadn’t done anything particularly special, and yet she made them go mad with her charm.
In Taiyou’s library of knowledge, nothing could describe that other than “charisma”.
「Thanks」
Those were words of praise, so Leticia thanked him in the standard pronunciation.
Taiyou once again felt uneasy at her speaking standardly.
「I really don’t think I’ll get used to that way of speaking」
「Were you also not ever able to adjust to『New Moon Director』？」
「……Well, no」
