"Doctor, Doctor Schweizer!　Please wait!

　I hear a voice calling me from behind.
　I'm walking down the hallway, and a girl is chasing after me - I've never experienced anything like that in my life, and maybe it's a valuable experience.
　--If it's a normal girl.

"Sir, please fight me!

That's what Iris, the "Sword Saint Princess," said as she chased after me. It was a very unattractive invitation.
　I'm not sure if she cares about appearances, even though there are still students in the school.

"...... huh?

　A small sigh and look back after opening the window in the corridor.
　Iris's expression is as serious as ever. It's easy...... easy to say, "I don't want to be a bother.
　The other party is the target of the escort, the only daughter of Rheinfell, one of the four major noble families.
　I'm a knight working for the kingdom. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　I'm not going to fight you. ......

I'm not going to fight you, but I want to fight you. ...... I want to fight you for real, sir.
I showed you how serious I am yesterday.
No, sir. I'm sure you took it easy on her.

　...... She's strong. She's strong enough for me to think so.
　If you're in her class, you probably know whether your opponent is serious or not to some extent.
　I thought it would be a good idea to match the level of the students.

You've got it all wrong. Besides, I still have work to do.
I'll help you.
No, not really, but you can't let the students do it.

　For a moment, I was almost tempted. In fact, today's work is nothing more than paperwork, which I could do even if I were a real child.
　--But I can't fight you for helping me with that.

"Oh, please. I'll do anything.
I'll do anything you want. ...... You can't say that to a girl. What are you going to do if they ask you to do something shady?
What?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find any useful information.

If you understand, then you don't have to--
No, it's fine. ......
Yes?
If that's what you want, I'm prepared to do it too.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
　--No, is this girl serious?
　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ...... Although I'm younger than her in appearance.
　I don't know what it is that makes her tick, but when I gently put my hand over hers, Iris shakes her body.
　I place a handful of materials on her head.

I'm sorry I started it. I'm sorry I started it, but ...... you can't say things like that lightly.
No, I didn't say that lightly!

　--Yes, you're right. She really means it.
　That's why I'm in trouble. .......

(Teaching is not an easy job: ......)

　I thought I could just teach what was appropriate for my students, but it turns out that there is a possibility that there are kids like this.
　I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that if I were you.

...... I understand. If you're so sure, let's make one condition.
I'm sure you'll agree.

　Iris's expression brightens. You seem to think I'm finally on board, but ...... I'm not in a position to say I'll fight that easily.

I'm not sure what to say. If you can catch me in the next 30 minutes, I'll fight you for real.
"...... catch you?
Yes, sir. And if you can't, you give up this time. That's the deal.
...... I'll do it. Please let me do it.

　There was no hesitation in Iris's reply.
　She'll definitely come after me with everything she's got.

"Okay. Well then, let's start now...

　With those words, I kicked the floor.
　I jumped out of the hallway window I had just opened.

"What ......?
I'll run anywhere on the grounds, not just inside the school!

　I made the condition because I had no intention of getting caught.
　The conference room is located on the third floor - if you jumped from here, you could buy a lot of time for her to come after you.


　...... Well, it may not be mature, but I'll do my best to escape.

I'm not letting you go!
"......?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　She didn't care that she was wearing a skirt - or rather, she didn't hesitate to jump down even though she was on the third floor.
　If you are on her level, you can do that.

Thirty minutes was a bit too long. ......

　I said these words of regret, but ran off without looking back.
　And so began my chase with the Princess of the Sword.
