"... this should do it." Don't take off the bandage for a day today, even if it's short. "

The pride finally exhaled at the words of the column that closed the first aid kit borrowed from the caretaker's office.

Silently stretching her legs, Nate also pointed her lips, and gazed down at the wrapped legs of the bandage.I tried to hide it when the adhesive plaster was found, but after the Pride and the others left, I was diagnosed as normal.Even when the column left the room once to get the first aid kit, he gave up and left his legs unattended and started working on the invention.I thought I'd get out of the room, but I was more willing to let go of this working room than that.

Ignoring the column for first aid and diagnosis in one hand of the first aid kit, even when the bandage of the belly was removed, the figure of only moving the hand to the invention suddenly appeared, but no one was willing to take it.

Since it was not a serious wound, the doctor gave up and only applied first aid to the foot as Nate himself wished, but the same abdominal bruise cannot be missed.

"... what kind of nonsense would that be?"

"I just invented it and got on with it a little bit."...... there's nothing to interfere with the invention, and if I could see it, I'd shut up. "

When asked by the column, the inventor's hand stops there.

Stale threw his gaze at Arthur to ask him if he was telling the truth, but the answer returned with a vertical nod.At least Arthur's eyes seemed swollen, and now that he escaped the gaze from the column, Nate could not see that kind of repair.I don't think it's a lie to say that I got on the right track.But instead, he remembered another thing, and with his mouth shut, Arthur just looked down.

Beside him, Pride was still staring at Nate.For a while, I covered my mouth with my hands and didn't say a word, but in the meantime, I kept thinking around in a hurry.Her complexion turned red and her white skin became close to blue.Not only does your spine get cold, but you're about to lose temperature to your fingertips.

"Nate, this is not the way to go after all..."

"Hahhhh! Absolutely!" That's not all, and I will definitely complete the invention. You will definitely keep your promise! "

Nate clearly rejects the pride that squeezes out while holding her chest with both hands.

Even if we don't say it specifically, we know each other's intentions in words.That's why Nate was not surprised to say no and to say no to his pride.She is not the only one. Even with no knowledge of the game, Steyl and the others, who had been told some things by her as a "predictor", could also predict some things.

"But, at least... it's your house"

"There's no one here today anyway."... if not, I've already removed this bandage. "

Due to the painted medicine and the wound being well covered, Nate bent his legs more easily than before.However, the words that were unleashed near the affirmation remained in the sky as if they were their own words, and they did not meet with any of the pride.I played with the invention that I put on my lap again, and began to play with it.Even without raising my face, I felt uncomfortable with the many gazes that were poured out on me while standing there.Re-fitting his forehead goggles to narrow his sight, he lifted his gaze again, as he remembered, and lowered it again.

"Come on, let's go." The lunch break is over.You haven't eaten yet, have you? "

The words of Nate, who only waved his hand to get rid of him, were certainly enough before the pre-bell rang if he turned to the clock to be prompted.Even so, Steyl thinks that in the dormitory, which is also far from the high school building of the junior high school, you have to leave now to run.

He swallowed his mouth and affirmed his pride silently as he took a step back.Following Arthur's pride in deciding to leave the room, Steyl slapped Powell on the back and urged him.

I couldn't complain that I couldn't give Powell time to eat, but now he has lost his appetite altogether.I don't know what's going on, and Powell doesn't even see Nate's words just judging by the facts in front of him.He moved his legs while being encouraged by Steyl, and turned to Nate as if only his eyes had been tethered.

However, Nate himself would not make eye contact with anyone in the back of the goggles.

"...... next week's head. Absolutely."

Just make sure she gets a firm promise.

Pride, who was on the verge of diving through the door, looked back only once.However, Nate does not move his hands except when his legs are broken while keeping an eye on his invention, which seems to be his fault.Only the rattling sound continued to ring like his own words.

Yes, and after returning just one word in a subdued voice, I kept staring at the side of the door until the last column closed.

“Let's go. You'll need to go through the process in the janitor's room when you get back.”

While locking the door, Powell also called on them as one of the instructors for the column that could not speak badly.

He walks through the first aid kit in one hand, and also has three classes.The column that led them to the point where they had to complete the withdrawal procedure of Jeanne, a female student, was now the most stretched in the room.

Arthur stretched his spine consciously, saying that he had to follow the senior knight, but he realized that he couldn't lift his feelings while rubbing the back of his neck.After returning the first aid kit to the caretaker's office and leaving the dormitory under the procedure of the column, they did not say anything for a while.

"... Jack, I need your ears."

Just before he broke up in front of the dormitory, Arthur, who had been called to Column, rushed to him quickly, tilting his neck slightly.

Arthur asked, turning to his ears, "Colum said quickly and only requirement."Finally, when she put her hand on her shoulder, Arthur finally responded with a domineering voice, as if she had tightened her mind.

I don't know what Column entrusted to Arthur, but now I dare say pride and steil.Daring to do it by ear is not a good idea, at least.

After that, Pride, who had thanked Column as students for today, broke up with him in a hurry to the schoolyard.I went to the school building early, apologized to Powell for the time that had elapsed, and parted, before finally opening my mouth that had been sealed.Stale, who started the fire first, threw a light talk.

"Did you hear anything from Captain Column just now?"You mean Nate? "

”I'm a little late, stay with Jeanne until then”

I see, and Steyl and Pride nod to those words.

After returning to the castle, it was a column that switched the Kingsguard with Arthur and Erik, but when he was late, it was too late to ask Arthur to act on his behalf.The column that stayed in the middle school all day because of Nate's surveillance, stays on the outside to improve security in the school.That is why Pride thinks it will be difficult to return to the castle in the same time as before, due to the relationship between the staff.

Thinking that it was once again putting a strain on the column, thinking immediately changed to a different direction.That's not what they want to talk about.

"...... Jeanne, that's it....... Did you see it again?"

Pride had no choice but to nod to the question.

Prediction, otherwise unexplainable.The pride returned to Steyl made him think about Nate's game settings while keeping his gaze down and repeating it over and over in his head.

I told her all the facts that were confirmed in reality, but I hadn't said anything about it yet.I had a feeling that there was a high probability when I met Nate, but I couldn't confirm it, so it was still swallowed by her mouth.But I also understand that if you look at those wounds, you may be able to anticipate them to some extent, even if you don't speak.Do you not say it easily because you are waiting for the correct answer as your [prediction] or.

"...... Either way, what we do doesn't change."This is the only way Nate has ever picked. "

Even so, we cannot save the Kingdom of Freesia.

While feeling the fact, Pride closed his eyes and swallowed his emotions on the spot.As for the prediction, I still didn't step into the facts. However, when I told Nate that I saw the scene where there was a scratch underneath that Nate had marked "Band-Aid Plaster", Stale also nodded with a serious gaze.

From her low voice, I am sure that she will have the same conclusions as herself, even if she does not anticipate.On top of that, if you made a difficult decision, you can't help but nod.Then, Arthur slowly opened his mouth with a sunken gaze.

"... this morning. I thought it was strange."He was just laughing at the last moment. "

Pride and Sail looked back at the same time in a slick and small voice.

Although it was a vague expression that she felt uncomfortable, Steyl immediately understood the meaning of the word.Arthur is clearly reminded of what happened at the time, and he looks upwards to confirm it.

"When Jeanne was involved and fell?"

Oh, and Arthur responded to the words with a single word.

Pride can also be accurately remembered if it remembers what it was then.This morning, Nate, who was sitting in the shade, suddenly grabbed his arm and fell.Arthur didn't make it, but I still think they were both rolling.

Pride brought her face closer, and that's why Nate pulled her down in a prank. Pride, Stale, and Arthur decided that.Furthermore, Nate himself laughed and said, "Bye!It's not right to come close to a woman's face!"I let out a prank affirmation, so it was superfluous.

But Arthur was aware that his face was clearly being tampered with.I didn't even realize that I was walking with my arms clasped by pride, wondering why I was smiling at such a face and deceiving you.But I didn't think he'd deceived me to hide his injury.At least his legs, which had come out of the bottom of his shorts, had not seen any injuries.

But now I know.

Why did he come to school so early, only today?To prevent you from being late for your appointment with less free feet than usual.

Why didn't he just sit there on the lawn and move?To reduce the load on my legs.

Why did he pull his pride without any connection?Unintentionally, he reached out to her, who was unexpectedly close to falling.

As soon as I understood that, the three of them held their heads and foreheads with one hand.

"I'm sorry... if I had known more then"

"Nothing will change as a result.You don't have to take responsibility at all.I didn't notice it there, neither did Jeanne. "

That's right...... "While disagreeing with Steyl's words, his pride roared to the point that he felt a headache.

Arthur doesn't really have to take responsibility.Even if Arthur noticed something unnatural on the spot and was lucky enough to recall the "Band-Aid" event, Nate definitely pushed himself and went to the dorm with the column.I don't think anything really changed as a result.

However, inadvertently reaching out, he was injured.He went out of his way to hide it and come to invent it, but he left it to himself.Why did you just say, "Fallen?"- Did you get hurt? - Are you all right?"Why couldn't I say it out loud?" I wanted to hit my forehead against the wall while I was walking.

... because I'm really good at imposing...

Far from being shocked, Pride feels a bit frustrated.

At least when I looked back, it didn't seem like Nate was laughing at me.I can only remember my face when I seriously laughed and made a real fool of myself.Absolute memory, like Cedric, and pride, like Arthur, can't see through people, but she also understands his actions with a weapon called "Knowledge of the Game."And after all, I'm sure he can't relax.

"... when I get back, I'll send Leon a letter."Next week at the head. "

That's right. If you're an anemone, you can have one of your messengers delivered in a day.

Now that it is confirmed, it is better to contact as soon as possible.

If Nate is definitely going to complete it at the beginning of next week, I think it would be better for Leon to adjust his schedule from now on.Originally, I would have asked Val for a letter the day after tomorrow, but if I could arrive in a few hours on a royal carriage, I'd rather send out an envoy today than wait for Val.

Pride decided that it was best to strike every hand he could, and he focused his efforts on returning to the classroom.

Don't expect a day to come soon when you'll regret this decision.
