Exit the Doctor's research building and walk through the orange-dyed courtyard.

I wanted to kill time with someone because I have time until dinner, but I hear Belgrette is busy getting ready to go to the castle tomorrow. Mia had gone out to the city with her friends.

I think I'll do another little workout...

"Hey. Civilians there"

But it also doesn't mean we should work out. If you get overworked, your muscles could fade the other way around.

"Hey, it's you, civilians there."

Nevertheless. Will I just be free of Belgrette and Mia? Hey, my friend, I don't know if it's too good.

"Hey, you! If you say so!

"Hmm?"

In a voice that sounded loud, Lifeguard finally realized he was being called.

If you turn your face - standing in front of the college gate, looking like an aristocratic girl.

This luxurious dress is pretentious, with a white accent. The hair is a vertical roll of blonde hair. The lips are a little thick and blush on the cheeks. I have eyes that tend to stick just like Belgrette, but unlike her, I'm not very neat and I don't feel noble.

It's rude, but honestly, I thought he had a bad personality eye.

Though you can see at a glance that you are a person of high stature, you have the impression that it is the opposite of Belgrette.

... um. I tend to forget when I deal with Bellette and Mia all the time, but I recognise that those two are a pretty cute category, and drift protection.

"Totally. This is what I'm calling for, and this is why the civilians"

Apparently, the boy's analysis of bad personality is not wrong, though.

And a human being named Arisu Current Protection is neither a righteous ally nor a feminist. I'm not even a nice boy. On the contrary, he is the kind of person who was boggling Yankees in the alley who didn't care.

"Am I? To what extent?

"Oh, what is it! Do you know me as Cyril Di Cardonne?

I was just staring at you.

"So... what can I do for you?

"Come on, Ko, there will be a Belgrette Fizz Gertillude in this college. Please call her."

This girl, who named herself Cyril, seems to know Belgrette. It seems aristocratic, and it doesn't seem like an impossible thing...

"I'm in the student building room. Why don't you just go in there on your own?

"You're not a student, are you? You must be a servant, right? Then give me a good guide."

I don't care about the arrogant nobles or anything, but I may also be arrogant to scorn too much with an acquaintance of Belgrette. I decided to take you here with me.

I took the aristocratic girl who named herself Cyril and reached in front of Bergrette's room. Knock on the door.

"Yes."

"It's drifting protection though. Here comes a customer."

"Huh? Yeah, wait a minute"

Belgrette opened the door less than ten seconds later. I can peek at her personality caring about her person, almost without making her wait.

"Again...... that, Cyril!? Oh, why are you here?

Belgrette looks out. Looks like he was an unintended guest.

"Long time no see. Belgrette."

To the surprised girl knight, Cyril replied with a thin grin.

I don't know exactly who it is or what it's for, but that's not something that Lifeguard would care about.

"Bye."

"Yeah, thanks. Lugo."

After finishing his role, he turned his back on his heels to head to the dining room because he was hungry.

――――

If you don't, you'll be in sight.

Insert through the hallway window, red sunlight.

Soon the sky visible through the window had transformed into a creepy figure covered by a candle cloud.

... Yabe. Something's missing.

While eating "Zalbaum's BBQ Setting Meal," I think there is one driftshield.

7pm. It was always past the time to make it dinner with Bellette and Mia, but neither of us were here today.

Mia won't be back when she goes to the city, and Belgrette won't show up in the dining room to see if she's with Cyril earlier.

Originally, when I was in Japan, I often ate alone, so it shouldn't be a problem, but when I get used to being with everyone, is this something different too...

"Hey."

It is a familiar punch perm who has spoken out to the flushing guard who cheeks the stuffing and fixing meal. It was Edvin.

The flaming boy, who gets a cup of cluttered wood, sits face-to-face with a drifting shelter, not particularly coming in to say no.

"Is Edvin going to be a mess?

"Ainya. I'm eating faster. Now I happen to be taking a break."

If you ask me, I've never encountered Edvin at dinner before.

He calmed down somewhat as if soaking in a hot tub that way, too. It was him,

"... you, it..." Zalbaum's BBQ fixing meal "...?

I get a stunned look when I look at the menu I'm eating at Lifeguard.

"Huh? Yeah, but"

…………

"The Mad Dog" turned away and nagged.

"Uh, hey."

"Oh, no. You're going to the castle tomorrow, right? Honorable, honorable, but tough. It's time for Belle to take turns."

Wait a minute. What the hell is this, Zalbaum..., changing bells too?

"What's the time of change?

"Ah? You're not listening to the Royal Guard, are you? Belle and Claire's sisters are taking turns protecting the princess."

"Oh."

"So now it's time to take turns with Claire. Belle comes with a princess and Claire comes to the academy."

"Ah."

So I finally remembered the drift protection.

Yeah, I remember hearing about that before.... that means.

For a while, I won't be able to see Belgrette......?

She's the one who's been in this world for the longest time. There have never been days when I haven't seen you face to face. I can't even take care of him.... that Bellette and I will not be able to see each other.

"Claire is nah, because she's a character kitty... I don't understand why she's Belle's sister"

"How long have you been taking turns?

"Ah? It's walnuts and irregular. It could be a week or two. But this was a long time ago."

"Really..."

Degradation of physical abilities, replacement of Belgrette.

I kind of felt like there was something going on that didn't get tense.

I look out the window. The moonlight had no peek at all, and outside was covered in pitch-black darkness.

"Not that... Ish Marni isn't out, today"

"I didn't say I wasn't answering. God needs to rest once in a while. That's why I regularly show up and go home. Uh, you forgot because you have amnesia, right?

That is simply the full moon.

A world that believes in the existence of God. Even Edvin, who looks young and deserted, is still no exception.

Even now, I strongly recognized that this is a different world.

Edvin gleefully drinks up the drink in his hand. At the same time, the wooden cup was instantly burned out by the flames created in its hands.

"Ooh."

To the unique artistry of the Divine Chant Art Oracle, Lifeguard raises an exclamation.

"Hehe. If Bell was watching, he'd say," Throw it in the trash. "The day Claire saw me..."

For some reason, the flaming 'mad dog' has a grin that caught with his vain eyes.

So she decided to ask what she had been concerned about for a long time.

"Hey there. Isn't that self-produced flame hot?

"You can't use it if it's hot. I'm using my soul strength, Prarna, to get it out, so it's not a problem. I just can't when I touch a fire that leaves my control. For example, if you lit a candlestick with a fire I created myself, the candlestick fire is already out. If you touch it, you're a jerk. It is true that fire may be treated more closely than other attributes."

I see, and the drift shield nods.

"I mean, that one? It doesn't mean the fire won't work."

"Let's see. I'm not a monster in a volcano."

"Whatever your body is, don't you burn clothes or something?

"Oh. Everyone named Maggie, the chanter, plants his own talisman, Rune, inside his clothes. I'm going to be honest with you... but this doesn't make sense. If I don't do this, my clothes will burn the moment I wake up on fire."

I almost blew it imagining Edvin flaming as soon as I put it on and summoned the fire.

"That's why it's so hard for a girl who's so stylish and full of clothes." He likes walnuts and sewing, and the hassle of the talisman Rune doesn't bother him. "

I feel smug that the troublesome aspect of drifting protection may have been glad it wasn't the chanter Magee.

Bellette also summons water and lets it unfold to wrap itself around, but I guess that's something he can do because he has a talisman "Rune" on his clothes and such.

If it weren't for the talisman Rune, Belgrette would be soaked as soon as she summoned the water....... yeah. That's it.

"Well... I'm going back to my room."

"Oh, wow. Good luck."

Dropping off Edvin's back as he leaves.

Again, an indescribable silence came.

body that stopped moving the way I thought it would. Replacement of Belgrette. Words only make sense, but fundamental differences in thinking. The ability to be common sense in this world, the Divine Chant "Oracle". Ability I don't have.

(... uh, do it)

Keep yourself behind a chair and look up at the dining room's just wide ceiling.

About twenty days since I came to this Grim Crows.

(Hey, are you homesick...?

Lunch break the next day. Before the college, a large carriage arrived.

"Shall we go, Lugo?"

"Oops......"

To finally respond to the convocation, we head with Belgrette to the castle. Tomorrow for this reason, and the job of shelter was closed.

Belgrette is dressed in a blue dress the first time she sees him. He was wearing the clothes that Belgrette had given him in this world so as not to cause him any extra suspicion either.

"You're both here!

"... be careful"

Mia and Lenore wave at me for dropping me off. They both look subtly asleep, by the way. He went out to play with a large number of people yesterday and went home pretty late.

Get in the carriage and the two set off for the Wang Capital - Raindeer Castle.

"... crap"

Unexpectedly, I'm about to bite my tongue with a shake.

The carriage I called this time was special for nobility, and this still seems more comfortable to ride. But no pavement or anything like that has been taken for granted in the streets, so you will spend about four hours rocking in the shake.

The other day, on my way back to college after I was discharged, I felt sick.

Four hours to the Wangdu Raindeer. Even the nearest city takes more than two hours. Even now, it was still not an inconvenience level when compared to modern Japan.

"Lugo, what's wrong? I don't think she's feeling well."

Belgrette, sitting face to face, calls out to care.

"... ahhh, right. Will you comfort me?

You've been losing your attention because of low tension since yesterday, and your stupid line came out unconsciously.

"What...? Ugh, yeah. Wow, if there's anything I can do..."

No more. What the hell is this guy? How can you be so healthy? Yesterday's strange woman of nobility is very different.

"Ah. I don't like it. Cyril yesterday? What were people like that?

"Oh, yeah. Cyril is from a family of knights in Raindeer territory. Graduated from another college in a neighboring country. Yesterday I had you stay in an empty room in the student building."

"Did you run some errands on Bell Kid?

"... yeah, kinda"

Bad tooth cut. Well, there will be one or two stories you don't want to be heard.

Sure, Belgrette isn't in the mood to hide inconvenient stories, but it doesn't mean we have to talk about everything.

That's right. I'm not even your lover.

(... what the hell am I. Why are you moaning like this...)

"Uh, actually..."

"Huh? Yes, no. If you don't want to talk, you don't have to."

"Huh? 'Cause, Lugo, you look like you want to hear it."

In a lovely tone, the drifting shelter nearly smothered to death. Although.

"Cyril came to tell me that the princess might be targeting the undetected..."

It was an unexpected and not serene story.

"Oh, seriously...... can I talk to you about that?

"That's what Lugo heard. He looks like him."

Somebody arrest this guy already. Cute.

"Hehe. It's okay because it's not classified.... and unfortunately, it's not unusual. In all times, those who aim for the royal family never cease. Tonight, in Wang Du, the princess is supposed to inspect the outhouse to make contact with the people... and the assassins will definitely come after us there."

Whatever, it's suddenly been a noisy story.

"Are you all right?

"Mm-hmm. Because you're a royal guard for that. Me and Claire will protect the princess."

"No, I didn't. I was wondering if Belle was okay."

"Oh, yeah, thanks. It's okay. This isn't the first time I've done this.... Nah, I exaggerated it, but it's just so common. A rogue who wants to impress the princess is obstructing her for startling purposes."

sighed, uh, but Belgrette smiled.

"Oh well. You're tired. That's..."

"Thanks.... hmm. Now ask me a question"

"Huh? What?"

"The other day...... before Farvnar's raid, what Lugo said." We can't go back to the original world anyway, "he said. What's this all about?

"Mmm..."

It was twenty days ago. I thought it was something I completely forgot.

It's not like there's anything nasty about it. If I'm just going to give this explanation, I have to tell you about Dr. Locke's... Iwawave Fai. You can't just talk about what happened to the doctor on your own.

"... well, if you don't want to talk"

Belgrette distracts herself with a slightly obstinate look.

Yeah. Well, if you think about it, Doctor, you know, I've got a record of selling it to my info, Edvin, and it's nothing, right?

The boy's decision was no longer divine speed.

"No, actually, it's Dr. Rock. He's from the same world as me."

"... eh, eh!?

Naturally, it just seemed surprising.

"It was fourteen years ago that the Doctor came to Grimcrows. I mean, I've been living here for fourteen years without being able to go back to the original world. That's why we talked about the current situation, there's no way to go back..."

"Oh, yeah... what..."

I wonder what it is.

Belgrette gave a sobbing look…

"So, but"

She tilts her neck a little and shows her thinking tricks.

"So you're saying that the Doctor doesn't have the soul and heart" Prarna "either? Fourteen years, I wonder if he's been hiding it forever. Besides, I can't believe I became a researcher of the Divine Chant" Oracle "like that..."

"The science of our world is incredibly high for me to live in. That's what if you don't have any knowledge, there are mountains of technologies that look magical. The Doctor was originally a researcher in our world, so it wouldn't have been difficult to get a research position in this world."

"Yes, what... Ah. Are you glad you told me the circumstances of such a doctor on your own...?

"Hmm? Belle said she wanted to hear it."

"Mmm....... hehe. Then we'll have each other."

"Ha, right"

We laughed at each other somehow.

"... but Lugo. I can't believe... I can't go back to the original world..."

"I don't have a choice.... but that's it. I used to work at the academy to find a way home. Still... can I stay over there?

"Well, of course it is!

Oops.

Belgrette shouted unexpectedly, so the drift shield turned upside down.

"Ah... wouldn't it be nice if you were here? Sticky. Ugh, yeah."

"Oh well.... Ah. Oh, no, Bell, you're taking turns now? Royal Guard Jobs"

"Oh, yeah..."

"That means you're gonna be gone from college for a while, right?

"Yeah."

"... well. So you won't be able to see me? You're gonna miss me. - Ah."

"Oh... yeah, right"

Liquid protection that I accidentally spoke of. But neither did Belgrette deny it.

Its cheeks are reddish in cherry blossom color, letting its eyes swim softly.

This. And Belle. This is not a bad feeling for me.

…………

…………

The two of them often remain silent and are rocked by carriages.

Mia's gratitude was well understood. Usually, it's a phase where you come in and change the air, saying things you don't quite understand. But now we're alone in the carriage. You want me to spend four hours in this air...?

Looking out the window casually, with a pleasantly embarrassing, uncomfortable atmosphere.

"... what...?

The drift shield doubted his eyes.

Outside view flowing at high speed. In the meadow, I felt like I saw something black.

Reminds me of the ominous black grudge demon and sticks to the window immediately - but.

"What's wrong, Lugo?

"... no..."

Was it my fault?

Looking past the passing green, I don't see that black like I dropped ink.

The driftshield continued to look out the window, biting the aftertaste of the sweet atmosphere that had faded somewhere thanks to it.
