The timing when the great nobleman Kirilla called me.

At that moment...

"I'm sorry I interrupted! Ah, Mr. Alberto! Could you spare some time!?

The voice of civilian Laura jumped in.

Civilians split between nobles. That's outrageously rude - insane.

Of course Laura knows that.

It was because I knew that there was tension in that face.

On the contrary...

Still, Laura called me by my name.

The aristocratic students turned their gaze toward Laura. There was a dazzling smile on my mouth.

The arrows I tried to answer...

The representative, Kirilla, raised his hand in front of my face.

"I'm sorry, but Alberto is with us, the nobles. I don't have a second to spend on you, civilian."

Lords laughing forever.

Kirillia kept smiling.

"Would you like me to take it?

Ugh...

Laura's face turned sadly.

I pushed Kirilla's hand. And get up.

"Kirilla"

Hmm?

Kirillia looked at me in surprise.

I keep going to Kirillia.

Just shut up for a second.

And I stared at Kirilla's face.

"I'm the one who decides who to listen to. It doesn't matter who's noble."

The words freeze the air in an instant.

It's not a good word to say to Kirilla Grandor, the best person on the scene.

"You don't sound like a nobleman!

"Alberto, apologize...!

"Prioritize civilians over the Duke's Kirilla!?

The other nobles spit their blame on me.

That way my will won't waver.

Laura knows a lot about it. Civilians must not interfere with the nobility.

Even so, Laura called me by my name.

That's very heavy - I have no choice but to ignore Laura's determination.

"I respect your feelings, Alberto."

Kirilla looked me in the face and said.

"It's your guest. Whatever you want. As for me, I just said what I had to say as a nobleman, and I thought that was what you wanted."

"... I'm sorry, I don't want that."

When I responded, I left the classroom with Laura.

As she moved towards the bench outside the school building, Laura next door shouted in a hurry.

"I'm sorry! I didn't think it would bother you! I really need to talk to Alberto!"

"It's okay."

I nodded back to Laura.

I really didn't regret what I did earlier. I think it was a perfect choice.

Laura needs help.

There can be no trouble - there can be no remorse.

We went outside the school building. Undead was walking around last night, but now it's incredibly 'normal'.

We sat on a bench walking through the autumn sunny school yard.

It's been a long time since I sat next to Laura like this. I feel lighter in my mind.

Laura also seemed to be illuminated a little.

"It's been a long time since we've been together like this."

I see.

I saw him last night, but Philbus and Hoolin were there...

So I'd like to talk to Mr. Alberto...

As if tightening the loose air, the roller uttered a low voice.

"It's about Liz."

"Liz? Were you in the school building last night?

Laura nodded at my words.

"I was in that classroom yesterday because I was chasing Liz."

"Yes, it is."

Speaking of which, we thought Laura had escaped from the library, so we didn't ask for details like Brain.

"... I think you were in a different place than Liz's classroom?

"I lost Liz and Durahan chased me and ran away."

So, when Laura's rescue was over and she was going down the stairs, Laura was looking down the hallway.

I wonder if Liz was there.

Laura keeps talking.

"So... actually, there's something different about what Liz is talking about than I remember..."

"What's the difference?

"Mr Liz told Mr Philbs that he 'didn't see anyone', but he is meeting me. There was a distance, but I walked down the hallway with Liz, who was going up the stairs - I saw her."

"... didn't you know about Laura?

I've heard that Laura remembers the faces and names of all her classmates before, but not necessarily Liz.

It's a dark school building where undead wanders. It is not strange that there is a mistake to see.

"I don't think so."

Laura shook her head.

"I've been talking to Liz a lot since I started my second semester. I don't think there's anything wrong with me."

I see.

... hmm?

That made me feel better.

"I'm sorry to break my back, but Laura... is she" friendly "with this girl named Liz?

My sudden question caused Laura to shake her body. [M]

"Ha, yes!

"I see... I'm glad."

Yeah, I nodded. Apparently Laura was making relationships with Laura while I didn't know.

Laura has an acquaintance of the same age.

That's right.

Laura immediately looked sad, laughing as if it were a little illuminated.

"But my chest hurts because I suspect Liz...."

... if Laura is right, Liz is acting strangely.

It would be normal to meet someone you know in that situation.

Did you respond by saying 'I haven't seen anyone' to avoid being pointed out?

"And I was running away from the undead." That's not what happened when I saw Liz. I just felt like I was walking. "

... I see...

Ignoring the acquaintance we met, we moved on, and there was no sign of him escaping the undead.

I'm sure Laura's afraid...

"Liz had something to do with yesterday's commotion. Is that what you think?

Laura nodded at my words with a mysterious expression.

"... yes"

Laura said that with a spicy face.

I don't think she likes sweethearted Laura. But you can't overlook it any more than you realize.

"... Laura, what do you want me to do?

"I'd like to talk to Liz.... and I want you to see Mr. Alberto."

Leave it to me.

I nodded forcefully.

"Thank you!

Laura lowered her head with a relieved expression.

"I'm going to take Liz to the rooftop at" 13: 00 today. "It's in class, but I don't want anyone to hear about it...."

"Okay."

We're done here.

When I tried to get up...

"Ah, um, um!

Laura shouted in a hurry.

"What's going on?

"Why don't you tell me a little bit? I haven't talked much lately...."

Laura says that.

I haven't had a chat with Laura since the second semester. The conversation just happened to belong to the exchange of information.

Chat with Laura.

I thought it was not a bad idea.

I see. Let's talk. "

When I sat down again, Laura nodded with joy.

We had a pleasant conversation eating the bread we bought on the way.

It was really fun.

We lost track of time.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

After the chat, we went to the classroom.

At that time...

Alberto, I finally found it.

A boy student approaches while saying such a thing.

Brain.

"Excuse me, could you give me a moment?

While saying that, she glanced at the roller next to her.

It wasn't like Kirilla's arrogance, it was a technique that felt cared for Laura.

"... okay. Laura, I'm sorry..."

"Yes, it's okay! My business is over!

That said, Laura quickly returned to the classroom first.

Brain lowers his head to me.

I'm sorry, Alberto.

"It's okay. So?"

Ahhh...

Brain nodded and kept on like this.

"It's 'past 1: 00' today... could you give me a little?
