Tomorrow is the day of the festival.

　The school is in a flurry of activity, with students running around everywhere.
　The grounds are being decorated with decorations.
　Seeing this kind of scene, you can't help but feel a sense of anticipation that the festival is about to begin.

　In the midst of all this, in my class, .......


"Marries!


One of the students in the First class shouted out.
　When I looked at her, I saw that she was wobbly, and although she had almost stopped, she looked like she was about to fall.

I've been working a lot.　I've been working all day. ......
"No, I'm fine. Don't worry about it.

　Marise is trying to continue her work with the help of the girls.

　Lara is in charge of the crepe group, but the drama group is also extremely busy.
　Marise was working day in and day out to organize the class.
　She has been working day in and day out to organize the class and make sure that the play is going to be great.

　But thanks to ...... her fatigue was about to reach its peak.

"Almost there, ......!

　Marise stood strong and encouraged everyone.

"Tomorrow ......!　Let's all make sure the show is a success. We're going to win MVP and rejoice together with ...... everyone. That's what I'm looking forward to. Can you help me out?
""Oooohhhh!"

　Marise's words united the hearts of the class.
　She's telling the truth. She must want to make the performance a success from the bottom of her heart. These were powerful words that made me feel that.
　Those words are admirable, but...

There it is: ......

　This was when everyone took their eyes off Marise to continue their work.

　Her body slowly tilted and she fell to the ground.

"Get some rest.

　--Just as she was about to fall, I moved over to her and helped her up.

"I'm sorry.
What do you need to apologize for?
I can't believe I'm about to collapse at a critical moment like this. ...... It seems I'm still weak.

　Marise's face darkened.

　She's more responsible than anyone.
　She doesn't need to apologize or feel sorry for herself, but she's depressed about her inadequacy.

　But.

I'm the one who needs to apologize.
What?
I didn't speak to Marlies until she was like this. I've seen you push yourself a little too hard, but I didn't ...... expect you to be this tired. I said I would make the festival a success, and I'm ...... sorry for the delay.
"No, no, no. It's not your fault. Kurt has been out with the guild for a while now. I need to work harder. ......

　While we were having this conversation, the class was rehearsing for the play.
　I could see that they were trying to support each other and not just put the burden on Marise alone.

"Marlies. When this is over, come to my room at night.
In Kurt's room?
Yeah. I want you to come alone.

　If I invite Lara and Cynthia, it'll be too noisy.
　What I'm trying to do is to be in a place that's as quiet and calm as possible.

"Okay, I understand!　But won't the head of the dormitory, Erika-sensei, be upset with me?

　Why does the teacher's name come up there?

　Even though it's been a long time since I was reincarnated, it's hard to grasp the female mind.

　And the night...

　And at night...

　Thump, thump.

"You can come in.

　I heard a knock on the door and called out, "Excuse me," and then Marise came in.

　That's all well and good, but .......

What are you wearing?
"......!

　Marise's body trembled.

　For some reason, Marise was wearing a red dress.
　Her hair was neatly tied up, and she looked like a princess at a ball.

Isn't that strange?

　Marise asks, her voice wavering.

"No, not at all. You look beautiful.

　I'm used to seeing you in your regular uniform.
　She was always beautiful, but in her dress, she looked even more radiant.



　Marise's cheeks flushed pink as she said.

"Oh, thank you so much ......!　I was embarrassed, but I wanted Kurt to tell me I was beautiful.

　She sat down next to me with a firm gait.

"So please, ......!
"Well, okay. But you don't have to be so uptight. But don't be so uptight. You can relax more.

　I grabbed Marise by both shoulders.
　Then she closed her eyes and lifted her chin a little.

　I kept my focus on her.


"Holy Heal.


　I cast a healing spell.
　Marise's body was enveloped in a white holy light.
　Her blood circulation gradually improved and her body relaxed.

"Is this ......?

　Marise opens her eyes.

"Holy heels. You look exhausted. In another minute, the fatigue will completely drain from her.

　After all, the festival is tomorrow.

Oh, I see. ......

　Hmm?
　I don't know why, but Marlies looks disappointed.

"...... I'm sure you will. It's Kurt. He's really ...... such a great wizard, but he's so insensitive. ......
I'm not sure what you're mumbling about.　I'm not sure what to do.
No, no, no!　That's not true.

　It's not that.
　I was a little worried, but I could tell that she was getting less and less tired. I'm not sure what to make of this, but it seems that the magic is working.
　Still, it would be awkward to remain silent, even for a minute.

　So...

"Marlies.
How can I help you?

　Marise's voice is a little sharp.

Thank you for everything.
What?
I'm not very good at organizing people. Marlies always helps me. That ...... is the reason why I'm enjoying this time(s) of my life(s). I'd like to thank you again.

　I accidentally slipped the words 'this era' into her mouth, but she didn't seem to notice.

　Her face went blank.
　Then she smiled.

She smiled and said, "Oh, no, not at all!　Thank you again. Thanks to you, I've been able to enjoy my school life. Please continue to work with me!

　He said happily.

　I thought for a moment that Marise might have disliked me, but it seems that I was wrong.
　Let's enjoy tomorrow's festival to the fullest.


　After the healing spell was finished, she skipped back to her room.
