It has been decided that I will cooperate with Fitts-senpai in the matter of the metastasis research.
I think that he has become friendlier toward me.
Though I feel that it is something a bit more than just "Friendly."
I was glad that I was still able to build good relations with him.
He seems to be very mysterious.
[If I might ask, why does Senpai wear sunglasses?]
[Sunglasses...ah, you mean these glasses[6]?]
Fitts-senpai has never taken off those sunglasses.
Certainly, never, however when do they come off?
[Well, there is a certain reason for it, however I cannot say what it is, I'm sorry.]
[It's fine.]
There was a certain part of his real face I wanted to see.
However, I didn't want there to be any ill feeling of me trying to forcibly see what he had a reason to hide.
[So, what floor of the dormitory does senpai live on?
I have never seen you there when it's time to eat.]
[Well, for the time being, when it comes to staying at the woman's dormitory, I am there only as a guard to Ariel-sama.]
So, does a problem never happen then?
However I remembered that if permission is received, one can bring a slave into the dormitory.
Though not a slave, because of matters of Royalty and Nobility, there is a little flexibility that can be requested.
There is a Noble with a maid in the boy's dormitory after all.
And naturally, it's because if the maid or servant causes a problem, the responsibility falls to the master.
Though Fitts-senpai handles the students, Ariel however has her charisma and the Asura Royal Family's power.
In addition, there is also the matter that Fitts-senpai himself is said to be trusted.
It was the girl named Goria-de-san... or was it Big Bang Vader -san, who also acknowledged Fitts-senpai's capability.
And, according to Elinalize's gossip, it seems that Fitts-senpai seems to be considerably popular among the girls.
The calls Luke gets of Kya~kya~ make him seem like a new guy trying to be trendy. When it comes to the Master, Fitts's listless face causes my heart to become completely twisted up.
Though when I talk to him, I get the feeling that he's not listless at all.
However I know what I want to say to him.
[Come to think of it, Senpai talks rather normally with me.]
[...?]
[I've heard you are a really reticent person though.]
[I, that is... I am really quite shy of people.]
Comparatively, I felt that he spoke to me as if he was myself.
Despite not being connected, could you call it 'being on the same wavelength'?
Anyway, as far as when it comes to common knowledge of the school, it's that Fitts says surprisingly next to nothing.
Coupled with the fact he can use chantless magic, he was given the name Fitts of the [Silence].
Or the [Silent Magician].
[Fitts-senpai's family name isn't "Raibakku"[7] by any chance is it?]
[Eh? "Raibakku"... I think maybe the 2nd Generation North God has a name similar to that maybe? Perhaps it's different. Anyway I don't carry such a thing as a family name, since I am not a noble.]
[You're kidding! You wouldn't happen to consider cooking as one of your strong points?]
[Umm, I am able to cook... but what's that got to do with a family name...?]
My joke wasn't caught.
However was something funny? Fitts-senpai seemed to chuckle.
A man of many mysteries, Fitts-senpai.
Even why he is cooperative with me is a mystery.
But I have no particular plans to expose those mysteries.
The person in question is also clearly intending to keep it hidden.
And if that's the intention, then there is a reason for it.
To help the person hiding it, to expose it forcibly, I would never do such an ungrateful action.
Of course, it would be a lie to say I am not interested.
However, there is also Hitogami's advice.
And moving in accordance to Hitogami's advice, I have met Fitts-senpai.
From experience up until now, whenever I do something pertaining to Hitogami's advice, it seems to always affect some greater conclusion to an extent.
In other words, as long as I stay close to Fitts-senpai, a clue pertaining to my medical treatment will eventually be within reach.
I need not be in a hurry.
So I thought.
