The blue sky, white clouds.
It’s the perfect weather for a walk. Being re-summoned to Reynbrook, about one and a half months have passed, but it sure has been a while since the weather has been this good~.
「「「Waaaahhh!!」」」
That’s right. It hasn’t even been five days since I’ve come to Lizwadia.
I’m no Bernadette but doing some sightseeing is nice, isn’t it.
In Lizwadia, which developed cheap delicious food for the students, the menus that the food carts brought out were diverse.
Eating and walking while sightseeing is the best, isn’t it~.
「Henrietta-sama~!」
「Kyaaa!!」
「You’re beautiful today as well –desu wa!」
Maybe I should invite Bernadette. When she’s around, the expenses are tremendous, but, well, let’s see a lot today.
The weather is this good, it’d be a loss if we didn’t enjoy it.
「Ladies and gentlemen!! Thank you for waiting! Today’s main event, the magic battle of the Second Department Student 『Princess Knight』 Henrietta de Crestolia and the Temporary Lecturer Yuuya Shirou is about to begin! Guests using the stands, quickly prepare to watch the battle!」
Ahh, I also need to go to the stands………
『Just how long are you going to escape reality, baka Yuu.』
「Man……I still can’t get used to this.」
Suddenly resounding in my head was Alicia’s voice. Experiencing a strange sensation, I touched the silver edged piercing on the emerald gem of my left ear.
「Of course I’ll want to escape reality. ……In the first place, why do I have to do battle in the middle of all of these watching eyes.」
When I look around, the audience seating that looked like Italy’s Coliseum (was it Italy?) had become one color with the ashen robes.
It’s thanks to the full house of seats being sold out. ……Why did it become like this!
The place that I’m in right now, was a circle-shaped arena with a structure that had the audience looking down at me.
The cheers that could even be considered a roar, in response to the young boy announcer’s words, completely covered the arena. Honestly, it’s annoying.
『It’s because that’s just how famous the Crestolia’s Princess Knight-sama is, isn’t it. She’s that kind of girl but in regards to popularity, she’s really high.』
As usual, Alicia’s voice resounded in my head. I’m sure you’ve noticed, but my left ear’s piercing is the source of it.
「That’s an awfully harsh way of talking. Do you not like her using the same second name as Sylvia that much?」
Without being erased in the middle of what was already a roar of cheers rather than being considering a roar, the words that reached me, awfully had some thorns in them.
『Th, that’s not it! Baka Yuu!!』
「Don’t be shy, don’t be shy. You were an Onee-chan’s girl after all~.」
『No I wasn’t! Yuu, you baka!』
Together with a *Butsu* (Bzzt) sound, Alicia’s words stopped.
Th, that girl, she cut of the Maryoku, didn’t she!?
The emerald gem ear piercing used was actually something called a Communication Stone, and by transmitting Maryoku into the paired Communication Stone, it’s possible to carry out a conversation that was close to telepathic communication.
Though, naturally, there are limitations such as it having to be within a set distance and being unusable if Maryoku isn’t transmitted.
Not possessing Maryoku and being unable to neither activate the Communication Stone nor talk back about being called baka, with strengthened eyes, I searched for Alicia who was probably in the audience.
「For having me as an opponent, you sure are composed –desu wa ne」[1]
While being in the middle of cheers, awfully clearly, that frigid voice reached my ears.
「Hohe?」
Being suddenly greeted, my surprised voice betrayed me.
「If you are thinking that I’m just some student in the end……I believe that it would be best to revise that thought.」
Golden hair and violet eyes that made you believe they were amethyst. With an Ojou-sama type hairstyle, it’s the famous vertical roll, the vertical roll[2].
But still, even if she is 12, she sure is tall.
While being in the same grade as Alicia and the others, she had a height difference that was about one fist’s worth.
Without being an exception, she was wearing an ashen robe.
「Are you listening to me!?」
「Eh? Ah, sorry, sorry. I heard you.」
「! ……Very well, I shall personally train that body of yours.」
Saying that, Henrietta drew a small sword from inside her robe.
A rapier, huh. ……Moreover, there are several gems on the holding hand. ……Magic stones, huh.
How troublesome. This really is a magician close to Sylvia, a 『Magic Knight』 type of human.
「Haa……Why did it turn out like this?」
That question, it vanished in the cheers.
