I, Alta Schweizer, was in the staff room of 《fiorum school》.
　I'm seated in the back right corner of the room, the same as the other instructors.
　I let out a small sigh as I put together the evaluation sheets for the students in the sword fighting class.

I sigh softly as I compile the evaluation sheets for my swordsmanship students.

　My job as an instructor has become quite familiar to me - whether that's a good thing or not is entirely up to me.
　You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes.
　In terms of swordsmanship, there was no one better than Iris Reinfell.
　She is indeed known as the "Sword Saint Princess. ...... From my point of view, her swordsmanship is not at the level of a student.
　The next most highly regarded is Iris's best friend, Aria Notoria. I'm not sure if I'd put her in the category of swordsmanship, but she's good enough to handle a simple sword.
　There were also a few other students who shone in terms of swordsmanship here and there.
　All of them may be aiming to become "knights of the kingdom" in the future. The future of this country will be secure if capable people join the knighthood.

"Dr. Alta, may I have a word?

　The person who called out to me was the head of the school, Odds Colster.
　As usual, I couldn't help but notice his muscular physique, even though he was in charge of the magic class.
　It seems that he calls his teachers by their first names, and he is the only one who doesn't call them 'Mr. Schweizer'. He is one of the people in this school who knows that I am a "knight".
　However, I usually treat him as a teacher.

"Mr. Colster, what's wrong?
Yeah, I was wondering if you could tell me the results of your survey on the mountain side and the ocean side for my upcoming class.
I wanted to know the results of your survey on the mountain side and the ocean side. ...... I thought you said each class went to a different location.
Yes. The ocean side is usually more popular, but there are many things you can learn in the mountains. There's a certain number of mountain lovers every year.

　In my class, we just collected the results of a questionnaire the other day.
　The results are usually summarized here: ...... I take the form out of my desk and check it.

My class is also ...... the sea.
"The ocean. Maybe we should have all classes in the ocean. Thanks.

　The odds leave me, mulling over the results of the survey. --The extracurricular class is one of the classes held every year in every grade.
　There are several other events, but at this time of the year, they take a survey to decide whether to go to the mountains or the sea.
　The results of the survey in my class were no different from the others, with the overwhelming majority choosing the ocean. ...... I recall that Iris chose the mountains.
　Mountain asceticism ...... is certainly a word she seems to like, but. I don't want to think that's why she chose it.
　As for Aria, she chose "sea" as usual. To be honest, it was also a questionnaire for the students to choose a place to play.
　It took about three nights and four days to get there. ...... The sea side has more places to stay in the city.
　I wouldn't mind staying in the mountains, where I can settle down in relative peace and quiet, but at this rate, I'm sure I'll end up in the ocean.
　I finished my evaluation for the sword class and got up to leave the staff room.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. ...... I guess they were waiting for me to come out.

Dr. Schweizer, we've been waiting for you.
Oh, I'm surprised you waited.
Iris said she couldn't wait.
No, I didn't say that.

　Iris blushed a little and denied Aria's words. But Aria's words are credible enough. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that when I left the staff room, I saw Iris with a happy expression on her face.
　If I described her as ...... like a dog waiting for its owner, she would definitely be offended, so I'll keep my mouth shut.
　The two of us headed to the back of the main building.
　It was common to see training after school, and it had become our place of training.
　As I walked, I suddenly remembered the questionnaire I had just received.

"Mr. Iris, I was wondering about the questionnaire.
"Questionnaire?　Oh, is it the ...... mountain for the extracurricular lesson?
No, I think it will be the ocean.
Oh!　Oh, really?

　I'm not sure why you're looking away from me like that.

Is there a reason you want to go to the mountains?
Because there are mountains there. ......?
Why do you use the question form?　You like mountains so much, don't you, Iris?
No, it's not like that, but ...... you can practice a lot more in the mountains.

　I didn't expect her to say exactly what I thought she would.
　She is supposed to be the only daughter of a great aristocrat. ...... Why would she speak like a wild child? Just as I'm thinking this, Aria comes up next to me.

It's not just that. In the ocean, you have to swim.
"......?　That's right.
Hey, hey. Aria!　You can't talk about ......!

　Iris panicked and tried to interrupt Aria's words.
　But Aria rushes out and tells him to run away from Iris.

"Iris, you can't swim yet.
"......, wait a minute!　Why are you telling me this?



　Iris angrily chases after Aria. The two of them are as noisy as ever, but Aria's statement was quite a shock. ...... No, in fact, there may be a surprisingly large number of nobles.
　There are rivers in this area, but there are probably few opportunities for nobles to play in them.
　It's nothing to be embarrassed about, but I'm more worried about it. --If you are a knight, it's not good if you can't swim.
