After a little radical greeting from Ruino... I will return to my job as a lecturer.

"Huh, Doctor... That's fast"

"You're a teacher. The inn is making us breakfast, so please go to the dining room when you're ready."

"Huh..."

I almost accidentally laugh bitterly at the unmotivated reply of a female student who still seems to sleep.

Many students seem vulnerable in the morning, but it helps that they wake up on time to some extent.

There doesn't seem to be any pupils like me who can wake me up. [M]

After breakfast, today is the day for the students to decide and act on their respective assignments.

The scope of action is to some extent determined and care is taken not to go outside the town, etc.

... to the knights who guard the town, that's what I'm telling them.

(Well, the rest...)

Hilariously, I do my gaze in the corner of the dining room.

The other students are turning a blind eye to - Iris.

I can tell that the look is serious in itself and in a 'ready to fight' state.

... It's something I've known for a long time, but at times like this, Illis is the type to look at.

I know you follow my word and are always on alert... but it's frightening my classmates.

Aria, sitting face to face, carries breakfast soup into her mouth with a slightly sleepy look.

It would be just as good not to make you feel nervous or other fine dust.

But Aria's strangely distracted look at Iris' tempered expression had created some strange atmosphere.

I sigh and walk under the Illis. [M]

"You don't have to look so scared,"

"! Let, Doctor? Did I look like that?

Iris is somewhat embarrassed when I point him out to him. After all, he doesn't seem to have noticed.

For such an Illis,

"like this since Dr. Alta left the inn"

Yes, Aria opens her mouth as she explains.

When I left the inn... I guess it was when I got a 'greeting' from Ruino.

Aria's rhetoric sounds dark and blameworthy of me, but I'll assume that's a mistake there.

"Especially since you came back with nothing to worry about"

"That's right. I'm a teacher."

Answer that and sit back in a chair near the two of you.

"That doesn't matter, does it? But the teacher's strong, so he's persuasive."

"Haha, that would help if you were so convinced. Did Mr. Iris keep his promise to me in the morning?"

"! Well, that's not it. It's just... I knew it, because I'd become conscious."

"Right. I may have to apologize for that."

"The kind of thing Dr. Schweitz apologizes for..."

"No, because 'myself' was the one who left it to me while I was gone. But now that I'm here, it doesn't matter as usual. As long as I'm here, don't worry."

"... as usual now, I intend to"

With a slightly dissatisfied look, Iris answers.

For Illis, 'being left to it' may be a happier thing.

Of course, I have plans to rely on you both in an emergency. But if I keep him on guard until a time like now, he'll lose my position, too.... Nothing, I don't even care where you stand.

(He seems to be a student to the best of his ability... that's what I'm talking about)

Inside, it's hard to tell.

Anyway, I don't have the experience of leading a legitimate student life myself.

"By the way, will Mr. Iris and Mr. Aria be acting together today?

"Always. It's free movement today."

Two pairs of Iris and Aria - that's always been the case in school.

Of course, it's common for people who are close to each other in the class.

But of course, each has an interactive relationship.

From what I can tell, it was the pair here who stood out for the lack of interaction.

"So, shouldn't we act with the other students once in a while?

"... because that's what some kids don't normally behave like when I'm around"

That's what Illis answers to my words.... I've encouraged him several times, but it still seems that Illis is in a position - to keep his distance from the rest of the students.

... Aria is not yet in the position of 'Daughter of the Grand Aristocrat', as she is in the case of Illis, she may also be in an easily acceptable position from her class.

It's hard to get close to the students in the class, and Ilis isn't just distancing himself from the students because he's a great aristocrat.

I'm sure there's an underlying feeling that you don't even know when or when - someone will turn up after you for Illis. This is all going to be the heart of Illis.

(Aim for the 'strongest' but the late, huh? I didn't have any friends either.)

Someone called me 'friend'. But in the end, I never narrowed my distance from him.

If you ask me if I can do that right now...

(... If you say so, I didn't have a friend either. This place doesn't need to look like a master and an apprentice...)

If there's only one difference, Illis has a best friend named Aria and a family.

Maybe there's something about being able to stay here because there's just enough power in Illis to line up.

It would be cruel to ask the other students for that.

(I wonder what the students think of Mr. Iris.)

At least, I've never heard of a bad impression on Illis.

One way or another, envy - overwhelming with the power of the sword, she was also like everyone's longing.

And for Illis, they're - I guess they're just saying 'beings to protect'.... That's not a very difficult idea.

"As I said yesterday, it's a good opportunity. I think it would be a good opportunity to interact with the other kids in the class. Wouldn't you be able to do this if you thought it was one of your trainings?

"… it will also be any occasion. Because that's not how I feel right now."

Iris, who refuses my words with ease. Apparently, I'm still immature as a lecturer.

Aria sends her gaze with Zito's eyes, but I just shrugged my shoulders.
