After homeroom I went to the staff member's room.
I need to apply for supplementary lessons for the days missed on the journey the other day.
After I went into the staff member's room, the atmosphere suddenly trembled.
After all, looking from outside, it seems like people feel something has changed.
It's a bit embarrassing almost as if everyone already knows I've done it with Sylphy.
Just as I was thinking that, Vice Principal Jinas called out to me.
"Rudeus-san, has something happened?"
"Just a problem I have been troubled over for these past three years has been resolved and I'm feeling refreshed."
"I see, that is excellent."
Vice Principal Jinas nodded.
And then made a bitter smile.
"Since it comes down to that, could it be, you're thinking of leaving this University?"
"Eh?"
I tilted my head after hearing Vice Principal Jinas's words.
However, after thinking about it.
Certainly, I've achieved my original objective for entering this University.
I did come for that sake.
Now that I've achieved that, in order to reunite with my family, wouldn't it be better to go to Begaritto...
However, in this past year, a variety of other things have happened.
I met Zanoba, purchased Julie,
Got along together with Rinia and Pursena,
And made a connection with Cliff as well.
And then Nanahoshi.
I have the feeling there was some kind of meaning to my meeting with her.
To the point where I think that the Human God [Hitogami] had me come here for the sake of encountering her.
In his regards, my reunion with Sylphy might have just been an occasion.
However, the most important one for me is Sylphy.
Now that I know she's here, I can't very well leave.
I want to be here to protect her if the time ever comes to it as well.
If it comes to being the guard of a princess, then I'm sure there will be dangerous things as well.
Even with my poor ability I want to be her strength.
However, if I remember correctly, princess Ariel is currently a fifth year student.
I wonder what she's going to do after graduation.
Well, I'm sure she'll remain here until graduation.
For the time being, I do send letters to Paul and the others at a fixed period.
I have no way of checking if they've reached them though...
However, it's been a year since then.
If I were to start moving now, the probability of differences in the situation coming up are high.
It would be amateurish to quickly change my plan when it might not provide any significant result.
...Is what the resourceful salary-man who can get over 30 new contracts in single day once said.
I should still wait for now.
"No, I don't know if I'll remain here until I graduate, but I think I'll remain enrolled for several more years."
"I see, that is excellent."
The Vice Principal made a bitter smile.
I wonder if he's happy or unhappy.
It's a bitter smile I can't really figure out.
