I went back to the staff building campfire with Barbara, but I had to separate from Barbara before I joined Alice-chan. Before the night got deeper, she wanted to secure a bed for Bella, so sheâs going to take care of Bella in the Department of Holy Magic.
âI got her from Marieta, but do I not have to go?â
âItâs okay. My sister Miriana is also in the Department of Holy Magic. My sister also regretted what we did to Marieta, so I think she wants to help her. Instead, can you leave a message to Marieta on the bulletin boards here and there, or if you find Marieta, can you tell her that me and this child are in the Holy Magic Department?â
âIâm fine, but is it really okay?â
âThatâs fine. In the first place, I donât have the strength to walk around, so I want to take a rest soon. Oh, Iâd like to give something to my sister. Can I get lemonade and pudding?â
So, in case there was someone else who wanted it, I gave her an additional amount of food items, and in case the students of the Holy Magic Department would be too busy to participate in the campfire, I got a lot of barbecue meat, packed it in an item bag and handed it to Barbara.
âBy the way, what department is Barbara going to enter?â
âMe? I want to learn how to make potions in this country, so Iâm going to enter the alchemy department.â
âBarbara. . . If thatâs the case, I think itâs better to build up your strength. . .â
âWhy? Itâs alchemy? Itâs not a magic warrior department, is it?â
I was going to tell her that the alchemy department is black, but I think it would be fun to have an acquaintance in the same department, so I kept quiet. Marieta was there too. It seems that even in the magic department, you can make magic potions and other magic items in a canned state, so it wonât change no matter which way you enter. Maybe.
Letâs make potions together and have an endurance race, Barbara.
When I saw Barbara off when she went to the Department of Holy Magic with Bella, I immediately started to go around the bulletin boards while eating meat stuck on a skewer with Ursch-kun. Each bulletin board is big, so if we separate and see if there are any messages from Marieta from both ends, join Ursch-kun in the middle, and share each otherâs information.
âHmm. At a first glance, I didnât see a message from Marieta-ojou.â
âI see. . . Well, Iâll write a message to Marieta and paste it, so please wait a moment.â
âYes. In the meantime, Iâll gather information.â
So that Marieta could find it right away, I wrote three sheets of the same content and pasted it on both ends and in the middle. By the time I finished pasting everything, Ursch-kun had just come back.
âWelcome back, Ursch-kun. Did you find any useful information?â
âIâm back, Isabella. I just found an employee, so I listened to him.â
And the information that Ursch-kun got is as follows.
-First thing tomorrow morning, the Knights, the Magic Division, and the military police will come and investigate the cause of the fire, and until then the premises have been blocked.
-From the burn marks of the five department buildings, a ceremonial sword made of Mithril came out, and we donât know where it came from.
-There is information from the security guards and staff that they saw strangers.
âIt seems that a lot of information is flying around, but it seems that these three things are certain now.â
âIs that so? After all, all the people here have to spend the night on the premises.â
âThe auditorium and the main school building are safe, so it seems that they will temporarily open it as an evacuation site.â
âThe main school building is. . . it was off-limits during the introduction of the departments. When itâs not a subject specific class, you take basic classes there.â
âThatâs right. I hope we can be in the same class.â
âYes. Iâd be happy if I was in the same class as Ursch-kun.â
When I was talking about that, a boy in a red robe approached me.
âOh!! Itâs been a while. Did you find the little oneâs mom?â
When I was called out and looked at him, he was the senior member of the Magic Warrior Department who put me on the flying dragon from the library building. I think the name is. . . Whatâs your name again? Well, I think. . .
âAh!! Marilyn-san!!â
âNo way!! Thatâs the flying dragon!! Oh. . . I didnât say my name, my name is Davis. Nice to meet you again.â
âYes, nice to meet you, Davis Senpai. My name is Isabella. Thank you for today, you saved me. Bellaâs mother has not been found, but her aunt said she would take care of her, so I decided to ask her. She seems to know how to take care of a child better than me.â
After a little conversation, Davis Senpai said that he had to look around from the sky temporarily, and left for the dragon house.
When I saw off Davis Senpai and turned to Ursch-kun, Ursch-kun was tilting his head with a straight face.
â. . . Ursch-kun. The angle of your neck is amazing.â
âJust now, who was that?â
âJust now? Davis Senpai.â
âIâm sure Isabellaâs acquaintances and related people didnât have such a man. Who is he?â
Ursch-kun, aside from my acquaintances, do you know everyone Iâm involved with?! Thatâs amazing, Ursch-kun!! Even I didnât understand it!!
I answered questions while admiring Ursch-kunâs memory.
âWe got to know each other today. It was very helpful because he gave me a ride on Marilyn.â
âCan you explain from the beginning?â
So, I explained step by step from when I met Davis Senpai, to the place where I left Bella with Barbara. After listening, Ursch-kun smiled with his head tilted back. I almost laughed at that smile, but for a moment I sensed something strange.
There isnât a black aura coming out of Ursch-kun, but for some reason Iâm afraid of that smile. Letâs say it again, âHe doesnât have a black aura.â
âUm. Ursch-kun?â
âThis is the first time Iâve heard that story, right?â
Why are you talking separately as if you were emphasizing something so much, Ursch-kun?
âWell. I forgot.â
There were a lot of fire fighting activities, and what I was asked earlier was why I was wearing the national costume of Zahar. To be honest, I even forgot that I rode a flying dragon until I reunited with the senior.
âWhy did you get on the ride of a man you donât know? Why were you alone in the sky with a man you donât know?â
âHuh? I donât know him, but it wasnât dangerous because he was good at handling flying dragons, and it wasnât just the two of us because Bella was there. Itâs okay, even if you fall down, I can land intact, so thereâs nothing dangerous, right?â
âIt doesnât change whether there are infants or not, itâs almost just the two of you. Thatâs not what I mean, why are you flying in the sky with a strange man even though weâve never taken a walk in the sky?!â
Huh?
Huuuh?
Could it be: Jealousy
Waaaaaaaaaaah!! Ursch-kun, who recently reached puberty and recently started seeing me as the opposite sex!! That Ursch-kun!! Heâs jealous just from me riding a flying dragon with a boy I donât know!! There was also an infant!! Even though itâs not exposed!!
Ursch-kun!! This is the third jealousy today, isnât it?! Itâs amazing!! Ursch-kun is jealous!! Alright!! Today is Jealousy Day and we should celebrate every year!!
Thatâs right!! Ursch-kun, can you bake rice cakes every year to commemorate this day? Do you want to bake rice cakes?â
âWhat happened all of a sudden? What is it, a memorial?â
âEvery year on this day, letâs bake and eat rice cakes while riding a flying dragon wearing a jumpsuit!!â
âI canât do such acrobatics. I mean, Iâm angry right now, right? Do you understand?â
âI know, so Iâm celebrating!!â
âEh, Ehhhh. . . ?â
When I was talking about that, the students gathered around the bulletin board started to move around. Some students were running.
âHuh? Look, Ursch-kun. It looks like everyone is going somewhere.â
âYeah, thatâs right. Letâs go talk to them for a moment. Oh, Iâll discuss what we talked about earlier later.â
Come on!! Iâll listen to Ursch-kunâs jealousy as much as you want. Because Ursch-kun, who is jealous, is really precious. I like it.
When I was grinning at jealous Ursch-kun, he grabbed my wrist tightly and started to walk.
Ursch-kun grabbed my wrist tightly and started to walk.
Ursch-kun grabbed my wrist tightly and started to walk.
Ursch-kun grabbed my wrist tightly and started to walk.
Waaaaah!! What is this repeating!! My head bugged for a moment!!
Ursch-kun is grabbing my wrist and pulling it with a little bossy feeling!! Oh no, whatâs wrong all of a sudden, manly?
Ursch-kun is about to kill me!! Iâm going to die from cuteness!!
âAhhhhhhhh!! Ursch-kun!! Please marry meeeee!!â
âIâll do it!! Iâll marry you!! For sure!! Huh! Even though Iâm angry.â
While he was saying that, when Ursch-kun turned around, the boys ran side by side while talking loudly.
âThe dragon knight candidate who was looking around discovered the altar of a suspicious magic ceremony!!â
âSo, a few students who were put in a cage were saved. They all seem to be freshmen.â
âI canât find someone I know. Theyâre not in it, are they?â
