After practice, I usually go to my room to do some paperwork, which is my leisure time.
　I either sit on the couch and just relax, or I start reading a book that I haven't gotten very far in - well, I really do a lot of "killing time" when it comes to what I do.
　Of course, I don't just lie around all the time. Of course, I don't just lie around all the time. Being a knight requires a lot of physical strength, so I do some physical exercise to get used to it.
　But today I didn't seem to be able to do either of those things.
　There were two girls sitting across from me - the first was Aena.
　She is here today to continue the conversation from yesterday. Therefore, I can say that Aena is a scheduled visitor.
　The second is Aria. She seems to have noticed my "secret" and even asked me to talk to her later during the rehearsal.
　As a result, both Aena and Aria came to my room at the same time.
　This can be said to be my fault for not having talked to Aria first. I was just thinking of a good excuse to explain about the "girlfriend" who started it all, but it happened before I could think of one.
　And then - sitting next to me was Helen with an apologetic expression on her face.

"Ugh, sorry. I thought I'd covered my tracks, but I didn't expect to be spotted so easily. ......

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. ...... Well, I don't need to bother explaining the fact that Aria was already aware of me during our practice earlier. It might end up hurting her even more if she was depressed.
　Seeing Aena and Aria entering my room, Helen also came to my side of the room. As a result, not only Aria but also Aena noticed me, and that's how we ended up here.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
"Sir, what do you mean talk?　And this guy is a knight, right?　Why is he at the school?
Aria, I'm talking to you now. I need you to be quiet.
That's my line. I'm the one who was supposed to talk to the teacher first. I promised him at rehearsal.
"At practice?　Then I had an appointment yesterday. I'm sorry, but I'm first.
It's okay if we talked yesterday, I'll go first.
Not so fast. Well, we can continue yesterday's conversation later, but ...... I have to ask who this woman is.
We're in agreement.
We're in agreement. So...
Who is this woman?

　I didn't think I'd ever be in a situation where I'd have to deal with such a question from two girls.
　But they are not the ones I'm dating, and Helen, who sits next to me, is a fellow knight, so it's not like it's some kind of "shuriken" situation at all. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. I wonder if it's ...... interrogation or something.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.
　I let out a small sigh. ...... In the end, I guess I'll just have to explain it to her step by step.

"First of all, let's talk calmly.
I'm calm.
I'm calm too.

　This is why the pressure is so great... I can't go on like this. I think it would be better if I took the lead in explaining the situation rather than paying attention.
　It's a good thing that my students are in perfect harmony, but I didn't want this to be the case.

Her name is Helen Trousseau. She is Helen Trousseau, a knight of the first class like me, and she will be working with me for business reasons.
"Hi, I'm Helen from ......, and I'd like to introduce myself.　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
I'm not saying it's because you're my student, but... It's not because he's my student, but because Aena just officially enrolled today.
I don't care about that, did you say you have a job?　What did you mean by that?

　Aena glances at me and asks.
　Even though she was talking to Aena, she probably didn't expect Helen to tell her what the "mission" was.

I can't answer that, sir.
Don't worry, I'm not asking you.
What?

　You'll be able to see a shocked expression on Helen's face, and you can almost hear the sound of a gasp. ...... She's a very expressive girl.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"......

　It's Aria, who's still giving me the same sharp look.
　Of course, Aria doesn't even know that Aena and I are working together yet.
　She's probably genuinely wondering why there are knights in the school. --Perhaps she's worried that Iris might be harmed again.
　It's natural for them to feel that way, and I'd like to let them know that I'm not worried about that -- but it's hard to say that there's no connection. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. ...... But in any case, as soon as Aria finds out, sooner or later she'll know about it.
　In the current situation, it would be impossible to keep it hidden.

"Ms. Aria, what I'm about to tell you...
I'm not going to tell anyone.
All right, then. Now, the reason why Helen is here...


Wait, wait, wait!　Are you going to tell them?　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　I quickly reply to Helen.

They'll be fine. We're both first officers, but I'm in charge here, would you agree?
"Ha, yes, of course. I will follow Alta-san's decision.

　Helen answered in a bit of a panic. It's good to know that you understand what I'm talking about.
