Under the characteristic pretext of 'studying abroad,' it seems Zanoba was sent here to Ranoa Magic Academy for a while.
Properly understood, not being able to control the Miko power is treated the same as having a curse.
It seems that as long as there isn't a major disturbance, there is no need to refuse his acceptance here.
However there is a division in the Magic Guild who does research into Curses and Blessings.
Miko are valuable existences, especially a sample such as this one.
And with such a reason, Zanoba was enrolled as a 『Special Student』
In exchange for being a [Sample], Zanoba felt he had the right to take classes.
And typical of a place so focused on Magic, it was a convenient solution.
[With Myself's teacher as a target, every day has been spent training with the Earth Magic.]
Oh, Zanoba.
What an industrious disciple you are.
[Is that so now? Your highness seems to be most energetic. When I get settled down, I will come make figurines together with you.]
[Please do!]
Zanoba deeply nodded his smiling face.
How nice.
I remember being a junior at my middle school back in that life.
Didn't I also speak with strong feelings about things I did, how proud I was when I could create my own PC?
[Though, in the case of this school, isn't His Highness actually my senpai? What year are you in now?]
[Second year. However, ha ha, please do not call me "your highness" or "senpai," but Zanoba instead. And I will call Myself's Shishou as "Shishou."]
[Zanoba.]
[Yes, Shishou.]
It is this kind of feeling when I am chatting with Zanoba.
With a *bang*, there was the sound of something being thrown.
Involuntarily, we face the direction of the sound.
It was at the place where the Beast Race girls where at, where there were two feet on the desk before, now there was just one. Since she is wearing a skirt, a certain place is able to be seen.
[You two are making me sick-nya]
Nya!
Nya . . . . . .
The Dedorudia family say Nya.
Eris also used . . . no I don't want to remember that right now.
If I go and remember Eris now, I'll just be frustrated.
[Oi! Zanoba and YOU? What the hell are you all chattin' about?]
[Rinia-dono, this is the gentleman I spoke of before, Myself's Shishou...]
[When'd I ever listen ta' anything y'said?]
This cat eared girl was irritated, and so she kicked the table above her with the heel of her foot, loudly.
[Zanoba, Oi! C'mere, you, oi. You understand, right-nya? You understand what I'm saying to you right? Hah?]
The face of Zanoba stiffens.
Is it possible- this person is bullying him?
If it's Zanoba we're talking about, then this person must be considerably strong...
Wait, it might just be a matter of something like Jocks and Nerds. [7]
[If you understand then bring that guy already!]
After a couple of short tugs, I am pulled away.
[Sorry, Shishou...]
[Don't be, it’s not a problem for me.]
I approach the cat-eared girl as told.
A cat-eared girl and a dog-eared girl.
The both of them stare me down for a moment.
If it was the me from before, my feet would probably be shaking from their glares.
However, I'm not scared at all.
Should I say something . . . ? I've been like this for a moment now.
However it is not only glares, it seems to be also some kind of bloodlust[8]?
It might almost be like the real thing that Ruijerd could do.
[Thank you, pleased to meet you, I am Rudeus Greyrat. From today on I will be in your care, I will be mindful not to intrude in your affairs. Please treat me well.]
I bend deeply at the waist, in the Japanese style.
After all, there's nothing better than behaving properly in front of people that act like this.
The reason being that I am trying with the utmost of my ability to have nothing to do with them.
Then I was laughed at by Rinia.
[Oh, can't hate an obedient guy like this.
I am Rinia Dedorudia, 5th year-nya.
Though I may not look like it, I am the daughter of the Village Chief Gyes of the Dorudia Village-nya.
I'll be the head of the family soon-nya.
I'm just taking care of some things here until then-nya.]
That sounds like typical matters of Dorudia tribe after all.
Moreover, Gyes's Daughter.
Didn't I remember him saying his eldest daughter was abroad studying at another country?
Was it here?
How nostalgic.
[Ah, is that how it is!
When I was last in Dorudia village I was deeply indebted to Gyes-san!
Ah, I am deeply moved! To think that I might be able to meet the daughter of my benefactor in such a place as this!
Ah, so how are such things faring for the granddaughter of Gustav-san?
Gustav-san was also a considerable help to me as well.
He lent me a house to stay in during the rainy season!]
[O . . . oh, is that so? You were also acquainted with Gr-Gramps . . . ?]
While talking like a machine gun, Rinia was looking at me with a face of amazement.
Though it is trivial now, when she kicked the desk earlier, I was able to see into the certain place.
They were blue.
The kid next to her who was eating the meat, her nose twitched with a tiny sniffing sound, then she frowned.
[Smells . . . ]
She was suddenly impolite.
Did you say that I was smelly?
However that doesn't seem visible in her face.
So, I greeted the dog-girl properly.
[Pardon me, may I be allowed to hear senpai's name?]
[ . . . . . . . . .It's Pursena. Same reasons as Rinia said.]
[Pursena-san, what a nice name! Please look after me as well!]
She suppressed her nose, and abruptly turned her face away.
[ . . . Fakku-nano[9].]
Is that last word meant as an insult?
When a young lady speaks like that, it makes an old man excitable.
At any rate, it seems the pre-emptive strike was a success.
I want to believe with this, I will be able to avoid being involved in any unreasonable situations now.
