Leila didn't use her sword, but slammed a kick into the boy's back.

''Gahhhh!''

　The boy was blown away and crashed to the ground.
　He fainted or stopped moving.

''Na.........''

　The onlookers are stunned and quiet.

''Ugh, no way...?''
Mr. Kasem lost...?
Is that guy really an Unemployed...?

　Then a voice cut through the silence.

'What are you guys doing there!　Private dueling in the academy should be forbidden!

　When I turned around, it was Alisa who was there.
　I also saw a teacher coming towards us.

'Oh shit, run!'
Oh, we're just visitors.

　The onlookers leave in a hurry.

　I wanted to get away from them too, but unfortunately, the person at the center of this case is my twin sister.
　And she is disguised as me.

　In other words, everyone thinks I'm the culprit.
　What are you really doing for me?

Mr. Leila, what's going on?
'　Sis Ceres.........?

　Oh, no!
　If this continues, Celestia-san will think I'm a violent person who's going to duel with her........!

　Since I entered the academy, I, the ARC's person, hadn't seen Celestia-san even once.
　It would be bad if this is how we meet again since that time when we first met four years ago.

''Oh, sis!　Well...

　I tried to distract Celestia-san in a hurry, but then Arisa-san interrupted me.

''Your Highness, it's a duel. It seems that the students of the martial arts department were having a private duel here.''
Duel...

　Celestia-san's gaze is turned towards the fallen boy.
　Wait, Alisa-san!

　And to Leila, who was right beside him, disguised as me--

..........Oh, you are........

　Celestia-san's eyes widened.

''No way, that time........''

　What? You remember me?
　Forgetting the situation for a moment, I am thrown into a daze by her mutterings.

　We only met briefly at that time four years ago.
　I thought I could remember being rescued by someone, but I was sure I wouldn't remember her face.

　But this reaction.
　Four years have passed and you can't recognize me right away.

　No, actually, it's not me, it's Leila over there.......
　Complicated..........

"Your Highness...?

　While Alisa-san is wondering, Celestia-san is just staring straight at me (Leila), her body trembling slightly.

　Then Leila turned toward us.

''Oh, Celestial--it wasn't.''

　Hey!
　Now, you almost made a mistake!

.........Huh, what's going on.......kitten......?

　I won't tell!　I would never say that!
　Stop impressing Mr. Celestia with your weird characters!

'　Ah, um..........

　But when I say Celestia-san, who was stared at by Leila, her usual dignified appearance was nowhere to be found, and for some reason she blushed and choked on her words repeatedly, as if she was impatient.

　See, you're having trouble reacting!
　I'm pretty sure they already think I'm weird!

Excuse me!
So, Your Highness?

　Finally, he turned on his heel and ran off.

　I dropped my shoulders in disappointment.
　Then I was tapped on the shoulder.
　I turned around to see Rikka.

"Don't do it,
Shut up!

　Rikka let out a sigh with a dumbfounded look on her face.

''Well I don't think there's any need to grieve so much, do you?''






　It was that night.
　I had been called by Leila again.

'Ark!　Another turn!　Wait, what are you doing?　WTF?　Why are you suddenly coming at me with a joint technique?
Ask your own heart!

　Today, today, as expected, I won't let it go for free.
　I pounced on Leila, who was smiling her usual innocent smile, and I finessed her with a joint.

''Ouch, ouch!''
Are you sorry?
Ouch!
Are you sorry?
I'm sorry!

　I let her go first.

"Woo, what the hell are you doing?
You're not sorry, are you?
I'm sorry.

　Perhaps my anger finally got through to her, and Leila became unusually honest.

''Why did you do that duel on your own?　I told you before to stop fighting, didn't I?
That's why I'm calling it a duel!
I'm with you!
What. Because that guy made fun of Ark in the past.

　Leila puffs out her cheeks in a puffy way.
　I don't know what on earth was said, but since it's not about me, I'd like you to be a little more patient.
　.........and as a result, I am the one who suffers the disadvantage.

'Oh, and, as punishment for the duel, they said you're going to help the teacher for a month.
Let's do it and then switch!
It's a pain in the ass.

　Well, I'm afraid to let Leila have me around any longer.
　I'll just have to put up with being a teacher's helper.

　I'm more worried about Celestia-san.
　We talked for a while after that, but she was distracted for a long time.

　I wonder if she was that shocked by the fact that I was in a duel....

　Actually, it wasn't me, it was Leila.
　I wish I could say that, but if I did, it would make it known that I had been replaced, which would make it worse.

''Huh........''
What do you think?
'Whose fault is it that you think it's...'
