Maou Reijou no Kyouiku Gakari

Episode 15: Meanwhile, Around That Time

- When Frey was teaching Sun and Isna the harshness of the world.

Lily and Arius were across the street from each other at the student guidance room at the Lux School of Martial Arts and Magic.

Against Lily, who is stretching her spine and resolute with a Rin look, Arius is in a stuffy position with her arms on her desk and her body slightly forward.

"Maia, you've been injured for a month."

"Really?"

Lily responds to Arius, who first told him so, in a pale tone with no particular emotion.

"You're not breaking my heart? She said she was working hard for the upcoming martial arts tournament... woohoo, no pity..."

"I'm sorry to hear that, but I was in training, assuming a real battle."

"Isn't it natural to care about the other person, even though it's training? Let it be such a terrible injury..."

Arius stuffs further against Lily.

But everyone on that scene knew that it was Maia who was trying to make Lily suffer injuries that were less than a full month old.

It is clear that that was a situation in which legitimate defense was allowed even if it was not in training.

Unless that's the Maia opponent of the Arius squad.

"So what do you want from me?

"Right...... Now, look after Maia until her injuries heal."

Like your samurai, Arius tells Lily in a tone that goes on.

That was Arius' decision that if he gave Lily hate a position to use her jaw, that fiancée's mood would also heal somewhat.

"I refuse"

But Lily answered instantly without thinking about the comma for a second.

"Become!? You refuse to even look after the person you injured?

"Yes, I have no obligation to do so. Ask the rest of the crew for that."

It is both a natural response and an honest argument for Lily, who thinks she can't waste every minute or second to fulfill her promise to Frey.

Regardless of whether you made a damned push on an opponent who is already incapacitated and injured, Lily has no responsibility at all in this instance.

Rather, it is something that would otherwise be judged to be a lack of training on the injured side.

"Ha, I let my classmates get hurt, I didn't know I'd say no until I took care of them... Totally lamentable... what the hell are you teaching the faculty in charge..."

Sigh loudly as Arius holds his head with his hand.

To that word, Lily's expression, which had previously pierced her faceless, emotionless, swayed only for a moment.

And naturally, Arius didn't miss that either.

"Atra...... No, as a result of the instruction of Ah (...) I see, maybe this is not necessary..."

That's what Arius said so that Lillie could no doubt tell me that the words were indicative of Frey.

For Arius, Frey is nothing more than a loser.

Lily, who has always admired such a guy, has nothing to do with Maia.

Take this opportunity to teach (...) nurture (...) and think you have to do it, then go on and Arius opens his mouth.

"This is why I said I disagree... Civilian recruitment framework…"

Arius squeaks like he's talking to himself.

In Lily's chest when she heard that, a certain emotion and the doubts she had since then begin to creep up.

"I'll have to give the Dean another lecture. As it is, it will have an irrevocable negative impact on the students..."

Having heard this word and deed, Lily was convinced that this man in front of her was the mastermind who had fallen in love with her mentor.

"Anyway! Take care of Maia until the injury heals! Nice! You're like that guy too - BUHA!!

Something hits Arius in the face that stuffs him even louder and nearly says, 'You won't want to be like that man'.

It's so abrupt. And Arius glances at me completely void.

And the white that hit my face. If that's on my desk, I make a quick noise and fall.

That's white gloves.

And that still has the human body temperature that I wore until just before.

"Become, what are you..."

Arius puzzled with his hand on his face, alternating between gloves that fell on his desk and Lily, who is still flat after throwing it.

"Didn't you know? It's an ancient way to sign up for a duel."

Lily turns to a soft smile that feels innocent, which she has never shown against Arius before.

"Oh, that's how much I know! I'm asking you why you did that!

Flipping from confusion, Arius exposes his strong anger.

A loud voice that seems to echo outside the room as well.

However, the Student Guidance Office is set up in a place where few other faculty and students come, so I've never heard that voice and said that someone would rush over.

It is not yet known at this point who that is fortunate or unhappy for.

"Dr. Arius really seems to want me to take care of Mr. Maia, but I absolutely don't like it. I refuse to die. Then we'll have to decide now, won't we?

I say it with the ease that Lily decides on cleaning duty.

"Don't be ridiculous! I'm the second son of the Ford family!

"Just civilians, that's also unacceptable duels from students......?

The duel has been waged by the nobles to settle rubbish between themselves, but there have also been a number of instances in the past in which nobles have dealt with civilians in order to show their authority and make them obey.

"Naturally! You... you know what happens when you do this!

"Come on, what happens? Will I be kicked out of this college, too?... like a teacher"

Lily turns a powerful gaze almost staring at Arius' face.

I am aware of that.

"Gu...... What did you say..."

"Come on, don't you know who you are best? So, is it okay that there was no such thing as an unacceptable story?

Lily says so and gets up and tries to get out of the room.

"Ma, wait!

Students, that doesn't end up being licked by civilians either. That's what I thought. Arius stops Lily.

"What's wrong?

Lily looks back and sees Arius.

Either you are in control of this place now, or the situation is obvious from anyone's eyes.

"At the civilian kid's minute... don't lick too many adults, nobles..."

To overturn this situation, all you have to do is take the gloves that are being thrown on your desk.

On top of that, you can beat Lily to a formal duel.

That way everything will fit in circles.

Arius thinks so, but what is the strong word uttered? Its grip on the back doesn't move as it is pressed against the desk and solidified.

The reason for this is simple and clear. Because I weigh my strengths and the strength of the girl in front of me, and I can't think of a definite prospect of winning.

"Rest assured. I won't hurt Dr. Arius' honor because I won't talk about it."

Return the teacher even now, and Lily tells Arius that with an extra look as she suppresses her desire to eat and hang on.

Lily also understands that being a civilian in the first place doesn't have much effect when she talks about it.

Lily thinks it's the only thing she can do for her teacher right now.

"Gu......"

Arius roars with a distressed look on his face.

You can't just be flirted with in such a good way by a civilian abandonment.

But if you take a duel and you lose, you're going to keep the name of history as a nobleman who lost to civilians.

In that case, instead of the college, the Ford family will have no place of their own either.

But you can't just shut Lily up and leave before Maia sees you.

Arius' thoughts keep spinning around the same place as if he had strayed into the labyrinth.

And...

"Enough... Get out..."

Make a bitter decision with your face down.

Hearing that, Lily grabbed the gloves she had left on her desk without saying anything and walked straight out of the room.

And in a room where no one was left but himself, Arius slapped his desk hard with a clenched fist.
