Since then, I was safely living my life as a student at the academy.

''Hey teacher,''
What?
Would you like to join us for lunch today?
I don't mind, but...
I'll see you on the usual rooftop.

　So I started spending time with Elle, or as I call her now, Sensei, but I started spending time with my teacher. Well I'm doing that intentionally.

　Actually, Sensei is quite popular. He's not aware of this at all, but the perception is correct that he's not aware of it because I have my hands in a lot of things behind the scenes.

　Because of his good looks, he is especially popular among the female students, and many of them are planning to talk to him. But I have thwarted and prevented every one of them from doing so. This is the first time I've been allowed to use my position as royalty. I'm so grateful to be royalty for the first time.

''Speaking of which...''
What's going on, Doctor?

　We have lunch on the rooftop as usual.

　By the way, I have Saria, the maid, watch over the rooftop to make sure no one comes to the roof.

''Alice, things have changed, haven't they?''
Is that so?
'Oh. I think he felt more like royalty when we first met...
You don't think so now?
'Yeah. We're just regular friends.
'Hmm. That's good to hear.
Was it good?
Yes. It makes me happy.
That's the way it is.
That's just the way it is.

　I am not royalty to begin with. In fact, I have a stronger sense of commoners' consciousness, so when I was told that I was going to be a royal, I was baffled. I learned some etiquette and behavior from him, but I still think it's easier for me to be with him and it's more like me.

'So, what do you think?'
What do you think?　What do you mean by that?
It's life at the Academy. Are you keeping up with your classes?
'Well, yes. I studied quite hard for my exams, so I'll be fine. But writing my graduation thesis seems to be quite a challenge.
Well I guess so.
You've been here two years, right?
Well, technically it's been about six months.
'What?　Six months!
'Oh. Fee has told me to keep my mouth shut, but Alice would be good. In fact, you finished it in the first six months of your enrollment.
'Yes.....you're seriously a genius....but why is it your second year of graduation?　Then you could have graduated in your first year.
The thesis review took longer. Well, I wasn't really focused on the time it took to graduate, so I just stayed for another year.
'Huh.
You will.

　and I've been chatting with my teacher every day these days.

　Trivial everyday life.

　But this was surely what I was looking for.

　I was fine with just this trivial everyday life.

　But the situation changed when the teacher started to go to the labyrinth.
