135-Jogakuin, survey and ④




 Yuto and the other three exam students moved to the seats assigned to them at the end of the line as told by the teacher.
 When each of them arrived in front of their assigned seats, they exchanged simple greetings to the nearby academy students. This kind of courtesy, especially for Mari, she takes the initiative to call out to them without a hitch.
 And when Mari sat down in her seat, she bowed to Marion, who was seated next to her.

''It's nice to meet you for a short time. I'm Mari Shirasawa.

Oh, it's my pleasure. I'm Marion Mia Schlian. It's nice to meet you.

 They both exchange words smilingly and stare at each other for only a few moments. From the outside, it's just a very natural exchange. No, rather, if you look at it, the atmosphere is very glamorous, coupled with the appearance of these two people.
 
 No one would have thought that the two of them would be measuring each other's strength (girl power) in the space of a few tenths of a second.

(Ki, blonde hair, blue eyes.......what a cute girl! And this kind atmosphere........ (I didn't know that Yuto knew this kind of girl.......I didn't hear this!

(Ki, she's beautiful.......and her aura of excellence is amazing. I can't believe this is your childhood friend...

 Smiling, Mari and Marion turned their faces to the front of the classroom as they removed their eyes from each other at the natural time.

((Not just anyone!))

 Mizuho, who has been able to understand the exact shape of the two of them, is looking at them with a slightly twitching face, but Karen sits down between Mizuho and Marion with a don and crosses her arms in a confident manner for some reason.
 Mizuho and Marion, at first glance, were pressured by the movement of the petite Hualen, who could be mistaken for a young girl, and turned her face and body from both sides.
 Hualien laughed with a Nima~ and looked at Mizuho and Marion in turn. Although, though, her hair is covered by her hair and her eyes are invisible.

''You can call me Hualen. Nice to meet you.

''Oh, nice to meet you. Hualien-san, I'm fine with Marion too.

"Wow, I can call you Mizuho too. It's nice to meet you.

Mmm!

"...and...

 Beside the greetings from Karen and the others, Masato turned his attention to Nina, who was sitting next to him, as he was about to sit down.
 Nina wasn't looking at us, but she clearly had Yukihito in her field of vision and seemed to be aware of him.

(I have to say hello... but what kind of greeting? (I'm sure you don't remember me, so it's nice to meet you, after all, right?

 Nina had been looking at Yuto as if she were observing him since he was approaching her. Yuto noticed her gaze, and when he shifted his gaze to Nina, he looked away from her.
 So Yuto had trouble dealing with Niina, who was also supposedly forgetting about him due to the fact that he was a millimer.
 But then Yuto reminds himself.
 It's not right to be this weak.
 She may have forgotten, but she knows Nina herself.

(Have courage, me. Even if she's forgotten, it's not nice to meet you. It's in Miremar, we've met. (Now, Nina, you're just a little bit oblivious to me.

 Until now, Yuto had never thought like this when people forgot him. The fact that he could think this way now was still largely due to the fact that once he had forgotten himself, Mizuho and Marion had remembered him on their own.
 It had given Yuto a great deal of courage to take action to connect with others.

''Nina-san, it's been a while. Nice to meet you for a short time.''

What?

 Nina is approached by Yuto, and then the content of the words that were spoken startles her.

'Wha, why do you know my name?'

 

''Haha, don't you remember? Actually, I was at Miremar with Mizuho and the others. I met Nina-san at that time.

'What? Really! I'm sorry about that, I'm very, very rude.

 Nina was even more surprised by what Yuto said, and bowed her head in a hurry.

(Ah, so I wonder if I was curious about this person just now? But if this story is true, it wasn't that long ago. (So you forgot about it... you weren't that involved, or you weren't that impressed.

'Oh! Don't worry about it at all. Look, I don't know what to say, yes! It's not like this happens all the time because of the shadows... I'm used to it!

 At Yuto's atavistic attitude and seemingly self-deprecating follow-up, Nina turned her head to Yuto for a moment...........and was blown away by it.

'You're so shadowy by yourself.......It's funny, Dou Dou Dou. But I'm sure you're right! Ah.....

(Oh, I was so rude! (Why are you talking so lightly?)

 Nina is surprised and regretful of herself for making a gaffe so easily in a conversation like this, and despite the fact that the other person remembers her, and she should have been at fault for not remembering the other person.
 Nina is the daughter of Mattoo, the head of the new government and head of state in Millamar. Because of her position, she chooses her opponents and her words carefully when she tells a joke in any situation.
 That was easily broken by this boy in front of him, and he broke his commandment to himself.
 Nina tries to follow up as soon as possible, but Yuto laughs.

''Haha.......I knew it, right?''

 Nina looked at that Yuto's smile and her shoulders relaxed and she smiled.
 Nina, who would normally understand her position and be very wary of all but her limited friends, was surprised that she was being her true self in front of this boy who she didn't know much.
 

(Strange man.......maybe this should be the first person I talk to.)

 Nina stared at Yuto.
 Then Nina couldn't remove her gaze as she was sucked into Yuto's face.
 In fact, it was the same way earlier. At first glance, from the moment he looked at her, this boy would take his own gaze away from her as if he would keep looking at her if he were allowed to.

(Wha, what? (This feeling...)

 Nina could feel her heart beating faster and her face and body getting hotter.
 Scratching his head and laughing, Yuto noticed the change in Nina's behavior.

''Hm? Hey, what's going on? Nina........?

Sir! Mr. Dou Dou Dou is making the person next to him cry!

 Suddenly, Hualien raises her hand energetically and lets out a loud voice that echoes throughout the class.

''Huh?''

 The eyes of the entire class were focused on Yuto and Nina.
 Indeed, Nina has tears streaming out of her right eye and is staring at Yuto.
 Yuto also notices Nina's tears here and becomes intensely disconcerted.
 That.........depending on how you look at it, it may look like a picture of a girl who is trembling in fear of being Yuto, but is trying not to be defeated by that fear, as if she is determined.......but it's not.

''No! I didn't do anything! I was just saying hello! Ha!

 Three girls from the left side of Yuto shoot through him with red glowing gazes while spitting out freezing air from their mouths.

''Yuto! What the hell did you do to that boy!

 Mari immediately stood up and rushed over to her and stepped in between Nina to protect her from Yuto and put her hand on Nina's shoulder to calm her down.

''Ah....''

Are you okay? If you're scared, please tell me. I'll give you a stern talking to on this later!

 Mari glares at Yuto while paying attention to Nina.

'Ho, I really didn't do anything!

 In the midst of Mari and Yuto's exchange, Nina wiped the tears that flowed from her right eye as if she had come to herself and gazed at it.

(Ah, I........tears.......why?)

'Oh my...Nina, are you okay? I knew this was going to happen at first.

 The homeroom teacher seemed to calm down and came over to Nina to check on her.
 Nina also noticed that the atmosphere in the classroom had become abnormal here, and she panicked.

''Ah, yes! Sorry, I'm fine!

'Hmmm ... don't take it easy, okay? If you're scared, I'll switch seats.

'No! Keep it up! I like it the way it is!

 Nina reacts instantly to the words, "Change seats," she says.

'Yeah? Well okay, then, I'll start the class, so everyone be quiet. Thank you too, Shirasawa-san.

 When the homeroom teacher urged her to take her seat, Mari nodded and gave a stern look to a teary-eyed Yuto and a caring glance to Nina before returning to her seat.
 Mizuho and Marion took their eyes off of Yuto and Nina and sighed loudly at the same time.
 

 By the way, the young ladies of the class all have their cheeks up in unison, all glancing at the back of the classroom as if they were moping.
 All of their gazes are the same.
 Immediately after noticing Niina's change in this series of events, she was the first to rush to Niina's side and move to protect her from the scary man, a courageous act (a spinal reflex limited to Yuto).
 Mari was now the very white knight of the white horse that the maidens had dreamed of, and it was burned into their brains.
 As expected of Mari, sweat is pouring out of her forehead from the concentrated fire of this bizarre gaze, which has not ceased even after the class has started.

(Wha, what? (This hot stare...)

 And it didn't take much time for this rumor to spread throughout the academy.
