"...... So, Miss Claire, can I take a break from school for a while?
"If that's the case, of course it's fine. God bless you, Amira, and Darryl.

　The woman in front of me, dressed in sisters' clothes, makes a cross on her chest.
　The rosary swayed and glittered on her ample bosom.
　This woman is a sister and teacher at the seminary I attend, Gruerne Church, and is our homeroom teacher.
　She is a kind person who always keeps a gentle smile on her face and is very popular among the students.

I'm sure you'll like it. ...... Please, Amira, bow your head.
...... please.

　But for some reason, Amira doesn't seem to get along with this teacher, and she doesn't even try to hide her aura of unhappiness.
　Even now, her cheeks are puffed up and she refuses to make eye contact.
　Dr. Claire is smiling unconcernedly.

Dr. Claire smiles unconcernedly, "Hmm, be careful, both of you.
"Yes, excuse me.

　And so the declaration of the long vacation is over, and we leave the teacher's office.

"...... you, why are you looking so grumpy?
I'm not sure what to say.

　I'm not sure what to say.
　What the hell is she talking about?
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.　It's true that I'm a bit ...... modest now, but I'm no less than I used to be!　There is a lot of potential here.　I'm sure I'll surpass that woman in time!
I'm sure I'll surpass her one of these days!" "......, yes, I was looking at you, but that's because I was looking at your chest.
"Legitimate excuse?

　Amira seems to be in shock for some reason.
　It's not an excuse.
　In the first place, in your previous life, you wore a dress with a wide chest opening, and you deliberately showed it to me.
　Even when I ignored you, you persisted, persisted.

Don't be silly, I'm going to say hello to my classmates. I won't be seeing you for a while.
"...... Oh, you'll need that, too. You're really thoughtful, Ranga-sama.
That's normal.

　If you want to live a peaceful life, it is essential to be attentive to your surroundings.
　If you want to live a peaceful life, you must pay attention to your surroundings.
　This is especially true in human society.
　Incidentally, I cherished such connections in my previous life as well.
　Thanks to that, I was treated as an oddity.

"Come on, I've got to get ready to go when I get home, so go to .......
Hey!　Hey, that's Ranga!

　As I was saying this, a pair of boys and girls walked up from across the hall.
　The lively-looking boy is my friend Renton, and the plain-looking girl is Nadja, a friend of Amira's.

"Oh, how do you do, Nadja? And Renton.
Hi, Amira, you look lovely today!
Hello, Amira. And you too, Ranga.

　Renton waves cheerfully, and Nadja spreads her skirt in a theatrical gesture.
　Renton runs up to me and puts his arm around my shoulder.

What the hell were you doing in the faculty room, Ranga?
Oh, I had to take a break from school for a while for parental reasons. I'm here to report it.
Really?　How long?
Well, ...... I think it's been about ten days, but ......

　My dad says, but ...... I don't really trust his word.
　I told Dr. Claire that I'd need a couple of days more.

I'm going to the next town over. "I'm going to the next town over to escort my dad to work. He's working as an escort.
Oh!　I might get to see Daryl of the Demon Cross in action!　d*mn!　I want to go too!

　Renton is stomping on the ground in frustration.
　This guy became a believer after watching his father fight.
　...... In fact, he only saw me fight in my father's armor.
　It's a convenient way for people to misunderstand me.

So I'm taking a break for a while. Tell everyone I said hello.
"Can't be helped. Don't forget the souvenir!
Are you going to ...... too, Amira?

　Amira nodded her head in response to Nadja's question.

I'm going to miss you. Will I miss you?　I'll miss you, Nadja.


"......!　No, parting is not forever. I will look forward to the day we meet again. Good luck, 'my friend Amira'.

　The two shook hands with each other.

"...... Hey Ranga, what's up with those guys?
"Come on, .......

　Nadja sympathized with Amira's mature way of speaking, and they became friends.
　She likes books, and is into theatrical exchanges.
　And Amira is going out with her.
　It's a world that Renton and I can't understand.

"d*mn it, I can't play with Ranga for a while... This is so boring. Nadja.
Yeah, but I'm not averse to spending time with you.
She talks like this. You're going to lose a lot of friends.
...... Come on, it's cool!　And I only do it in front of you guys!

　Renton teases, and Nadja glares at him a little annoyed.

"Yes, yes, yes. I mean, let's play cards, it's our break time.
"Huh, I don't mind, but don't complain if you get ...... killed instantly, okay?
What the hell?　Prepare yourself!

　The two of them ran off while having this conversation.

...... Those two are surprisingly close, aren't they?
Yeah, I'm jealous.
"What's that?

　The two of us who were left behind smiled at them and left the school.
