Then you guys will have to wait here until I call you.

　In front of the first-year classroom at Sei Sei Seijo Academy, the ottoman teacher in charge of this class.
Yuto and the others nodded as they were told by The homeroom teacher smiled and walked into the classroom first.
　After coming here, Yuto became extremely nervous. It was the same for Mari as well, and her expression was hard. The other transfer student, Karen, is hard to tell because most of her face is hidden by her bangs, but she looks natural, so she might be surprisingly okay.
　He could hear the homeroom teacher inside explaining things, and when he heard the class getting noisy, Yuto felt even more uneasy.
　Of course, all I can hear is the girls' voices.

(Ugh, I can't get used to this. But still, is Mizuho-san and Marion-san here~? It's a strange feeling. (For now, I've had a rough idea of how to proceed with the curse investigation via email, so now we just need to figure out how to work within the school...)

　Mizuho has told me that we always try to transfer into the same class beforehand. As soon as the class is over, they plan to start investigating the spellcasting process.
　Then, unusually Mari makes a weak voice from the side.

'Yuto, as expected, I'm getting nervous. I've been thinking about greetings and such, but I think I'm going to forget everything. Is this how it feels to be a new student?　From now on, when a new student comes in, I'm going to feel like I have to take care of them from here.

　Mari's shapely eyebrows were in a C-shape and her right hand was holding her left hand.

'Yes, this is a peculiar vibe, isn't it? I think I'm going to bite my own name when I introduce myself.'

　Even though Yuto was nervous even for free, the fact that even Mari, who can handle everything with ease, is nervous makes him even more nervous.

''.........There's no such thing as okay for both of you. Once you say hello, the rest of the conversation will go on as it should.

　I don't know if she's looking at the two of them, or if she's looking at them with her bangs, but Karen looks up at Yuto and Mari while laughing at Nima~.
　Mari looked at Hanaren and admired her petite, rather most, frail-looking appearance, and her mannerisms.

'Wow, you're solid, Snake Eater. But thank you. That's right, the situation doesn't change whether you're nervous or not. I've calmed down a bit thanks to Snake Eaters.''

　Saying that, Mari smiled at Hualen, and Hualen blushed slightly, as if embarrassed, but she turned her chest and smiled and sniffed with a Nima~ smile.

''You can call me Hualen. I don't really like being called by my last name.''

'What?　Ah, yes. Well then, Karen-san, you can call me Mari too.

　Hualen nods and looks satisfied.

''Ah, well, I'm fine with Yuto too.

Except for the men.

"...and...?

　Hualen turns her attention to the classroom, ignoring Yuto's delicate face.

''I'm used to this sort of thing. I'll take the lead when you're called, so you two follow me.

''Oh ... oh, snake eaters, you are so reliable!

　When Yuto praised him, Karen sniffed. Perhaps she was happy.
　Then the homeroom teacher's voice called out from the classroom, "All three of you, please come in," with Hanaren leading the way, followed by Yuto and Mari.



　In the classroom when Yuto and the others were waiting in the corridor, the young ladies who hadn't heard much of the homeroom teacher's explanation were still fidgeting around.

''Ufufu, Mizuho-san, this is the first time I've seen you in your school uniform, isn't it?''

Well, yeah. I suppose uniforms are the same everywhere.

　Mizuho and Marion are at the end of the classroom. Mizuho responds curtly to Marion's words as if she is waiting for Yuto, but Marion can see through Mizuho's heart.
　They always come to school together, but this morning they spent more time than usual on their appearance.

'And yet........three of you can come. And I wasn't told that two of them were girls, so I was surprised.

'What?　Is that so, Marion?

''You didn't hear that already, Mizuho-san?　He was just explaining it to me.

Yeah, I know. But where does it come from?

Now.....

'Um, Mizuho-san, Marion-san, I'm sorry, what's the situation here?　I had a full week off last week for the Millmar ceremony, I'm not sure...

　Nina tilted her head curiously from beside Mizuho.

''Ah, Nina-san, well, Nina-san is the first person I've heard of today. This is.........''

　Mizuho briefly explains this situation from scratch.

''Oh, really?　I'm surprised. That's why they're making so much noise.

　Mizuho and Marion were staring at Nina's profile as she said that.
　Because, among the students who will be called up from now on is Yuto.
　Although he has disappeared from Nina's memory, it is essentially something that Nina can call a reunion.
　In fact, Mizuho and Marion realize that the fact that Yuto is coming means that Nina will meet him as well, and they discuss beforehand whether they should tell Nina about Yuto and what happened at Millamar.
　But in the end, he decides not to tell her. It wasn't out of malice that they decided to do so. Initially, Mizuho and Marion had thought of telling her.
　But then they came to the idea that it was a little different.
　It was difficult to explain, but on the contrary, they felt it was disrespectful to Nina.
　Because, although they may have had the power of chance working as well, they were remembering Yuto on their own.......
　The two of them thought that they would tell Nina about it beforehand, and that if it were them, if Nina really did remember Yuto.......
　If that was the case.............it would be frustrating, they thought.
　They also thought that Nina must feel that way about them too.
　I don't think it's a theory in any way. But Mizuho and Marion were convinced that it would.
　If, by any chance, Nina remembered Yuto....
　At that time, Mizuho and Marion believe that they will only face Nina fairly and squarely.
　It could be said that it was a matter of pride for the two of them.

　The homeroom teacher who was explaining the situation to them also laughed bitterly at the buoyant situation of those students, finished her explanation early and called the test students.
　Then, Yuto entered the room from the entrance at the front of the classroom, led by a small girl.
　A mixture of nervousness and anticipation erupted from the ladies.

''Your Lordship, your Lordship has arrived!''
Ha, don't be shy.
I can't stop shaking.
That's okay, Eiko. I've heard that they only ask for very gentle people.

　Inside the classroom like this, Mizuho and Marion were staring at Yuto as if devouring him.
　It had been a long time since they had seen Yuto, and he seemed nervous and his walk was awkward.
　But it was unmistakably Yuto. The fact that this Yuto belonged to another school, but was inside the classroom of the academy they attended in a uniform, was very strange....

''Mizuho-san, Marion-san, what's going on?　Grin.

　Nina lightly drawled, and the two huffed and composed themselves as usual.

''Oh, it's nothing, Nina-san. Ohohoho.

Hey, I'm not smiling at you.

Oh, really?

　There was a loud exclamation and Mizuho and Marion looked forward.
　When Yuto and the others entered the room, they were girls of the same age, even though they were young ladies. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity at these unusual visitors, and voices were raised everywhere. Yuto in particular is a man, so his gaze is focused on them. However, the loudest admiration was directed at the third person to enter the room.
　It was Mari.
　Mari seemed nervous, but as soon as she appeared with her chestnut-colored hair dominating and posture, she stole all that attention from the ladies.

''Nah, how beautiful you are...''
Yes, it felt like the classroom instantly lit up.
Lovely....
I wonder how wonderful it would be to stand alongside Shitenji-san and Shrien-san.
Nina's here.

　With the unique atmosphere of a young lady, Mari was slightly disconcerted by the compliments from the same s*x, albeit in a whisper.
　And when it came to Mizuho and Marion........she rolled her eyes in a different way.

''Ma, Marion you've noticed that amazingly beautiful girl's........''

Ha, yes, that's the same uniform as Masato-san.

'I don't think it's possible, but just because we're at the same school doesn't mean we're related, does it?　Someone that beautiful.

''Yes, I don't think you and Yuto are close. As expected.

　As he said this, a bad feeling came over the two girls....



''Yes, everyone, be quiet. Then, these three are the students who have come to our school to take the test. Now, would you please introduce yourselves in turn?

　Then, without needing to be told by anyone, Hualen stepped forward with an imposing attitude.
　Just as she had said before she was called into the classroom, she didn't look nervous.
　Despite her small stature, both Masato and Mari felt their nerves eased by her unafraid appearance, and they were sincerely glad that Karen was there.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one.

''Hahaha, in a burst of bait!　Jabababiren, fatty!

　Yuto and Mari almost fall forward and backward as their knees relax.
　Karen holds her bitten tongue and crouches down.

(Whoa!　You're chewing on too much!　How nervous are you?　(What was that reliance earlier, this kid...)

Well, it's petite and pretty!
Yes, it's lovely. It's a pity he's blind.
Oh, I can't wait to talk to you!

　But the ladies seemed to like it.

'Yes, now the next one.

　When it's Yuto's turn to follow Karen, his mind wanders to the scene of all the maidens in the classroom.
　All eyes are on Masato, and the classroom is a scene.
　Consumed by the atmosphere, the tension rises to a maximum, but Yuto is determined to make the most of it and shouts out.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not the same as the first time. Mi, I'm looking forward to working with you for a short time!

　Yuto bows his head deeply.
　It is still a scene in the classroom.

''I bit you,''
You bit him.
I thought lords were supposed to be more powerful than that, but...
After all, there's a difference between hearing it from someone and seeing it in person.

　The subtle reaction from the ladies made Masato laugh thirstily.
　Apparently, he was not the male figure the ladies were expecting.

''Haha........''

　Looking at the slightly disappointed and buzzing young ladies, Yuto found Mizuho and Marion at the end of the classroom.
　When that Mizuho and Marion's eyes met with each other, for some reason, Yuto saw that Mizuho and Marion were staring at him with their arms crossed with a difficult look on their faces.

(What is it?)

　Yuto tilted his head, but when he looked closely, his gaze seemed to go back and forth between himself and Mari.

(Ah, I see. Because Mari stands out. Well, we can introduce her later. (More importantly, it's in the future, right?)

　This trial student program is less than a month before the summer break. During this short period of time, the enemy's location must be identified.
　With that in mind, they would need to work closely together to investigate and discuss the curse from now on, so if possible, Yuto wanted to sit near Mizuho and the others.
　That way, it would be more convenient to do something in the future. Fortunately, both Mizuho and Marion were seated at the end of the line, so there was a good chance that they would be seated in that area. Yuto thought about that, and when he looked around, he saw a glimpse of an empty seat in the back.
　From Yuto's point of view beside the teaching platform, there were two empty seats lined up by the right window at the end of the line, alongside Marion, the empty seat, and Mizuho, and next to them sat an exotic girl who was gazing at us with wide eyes. The empty seat is also lined up to the left from the girl who is looking at us with her big eyes, and the empty seat is also lined up to the left from the girl who is looking at us with her big eyes.

(Well, let's sit near that window, or between Mizuho-san and Marion-san.......yeah?　Huh?　Huh?　(Didn't anyone else see it now?)

　As Yuto's gaze moved from the empty seat at the far left to the right, he was stopped by an exotic girl sitting next to Mizuho.
　In an instant, Yuto's face is tinted with astonishment.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　For some reason, Mizuho and Marion noticed the situation and became half-eyed.
　What does Yuto mean by that!　And immediately shifted his eyes to Mizuho and Marion.
　Instantly, Mizuho and Marion turned their faces away at the same time so that they wouldn't receive Yuto's gaze.
　Masato didn't understand why, but he was completely upset.

　Because the girl sitting there was the girl he met at Millimer........Nina.

　Yuto met Nina at Miremar, where he went at the request of the World Ability Agency, and there he learned of Nina's feelings for her homeland, Miremar, and instead of Nina trying to avenge her own father, Guaran, Yuto is defeating Lokiarum, the sword leader of Surt, who is the enemy of Miremar and the avenger of Nina's own father.
　Yuto's battle with the Sword of Surt unlocked his abilities, and the existence of Yuto disappeared from Nina's memory.

　That Nina is clearly looking this way.....................towards herself.

　Why Nina is here right now, Yuto didn't ask her.
　If I recall from Yuto's memory, I believe he said that after that, Nina was going to enroll in an American university.
　
　Mizuho, Marion, and Mari were watching that Yuto's situation, respectively.
