It took about 20 minutes to walk out of the house. Me and Ferris reached the Gardia School. We saw a variety of people coming from the middle of the walk, some in carriages and others on foot, but we saw a few boys and girls here and there wearing red ties and uniforms with lines on them.

　The school takes about 200 students each year. Those who pass the written and practical exams are allowed to attend the school. Nobles and commoners don't matter. It's a world of merit. It's natural that nobles have a higher rate of success than commoners. You'll find that many of them have had their own personal teachers who have taught them everything from study to martial arts and even magic since childhood. Of course, there are a few other races as well, and scholarships are available, so anyone with the right skills can get in. Even so, it is still difficult for ordinary commoners to get in.

　When I was thinking about this, Ferris came peeking in.

What's the matter with you? You're so absorbed in your thoughts.

'No, I've always been to the school, but this is my first time going there as a student, so it's a bit.

　I laughed like that, and Ferris grinned at me.

Wow, even Ray can get nervous sometimes. That's a bit surprising.

　They tease me about it. I'm one of those people. I can be a nervous wreck or two. I grabbed Ferris' tail as hard as I could and went through the school gates first. As I do so, Ferris exclaims, "Whew! And let's pretend I didn't hear the mysterious voice.

　A few minutes past the gate. I was pacing, with Ferris glaring at me from behind.

Hey, you guys!　You commoners, what are you doing walking in the middle of the road!　Master Pupupu would be walking now!

　Some familiar guy and his cronies are tangling with a commoner (because the one involved says so) man and woman. I look at Ferris and he looks like he's crushed a very bitter worm. I mean, that guy was still a nobleman. He should have reported everything he got involved in with Ferris to the king and been punished for it. And it's red.

''Hey, just because he's a nobleman, that's arrogant!

　The commoner girl argues against it, but the nobleman doesn't seem to mind at all. On the contrary, he seems to be bothered by it.

That's just the way it goes," he said, "That's the way it is with the nobility. Now, retreat!　And a woman. You'll be my girl. Because I have a big heart!　Pupup!

　You're kidding me again. Anyway, I can't just sit here and watch it now. The moment I was about to step in between

That's enough!

　I hear a man's voice say. When I looked at the direction of the voice, there was a muscular man with blond hair and height in the late 170s standing there. Behind him is probably a nobleman's daughter, with about two samurai in the background. Well, they're handsome.

''Nah!　Oh, you are!

　When he sees the man who broke in, he was pupu-pupu, but he starts to get upset. Who was that?　I know you're in the same grade as me because you're red.

'Hey Ferris. Who's that guy?

　I ask Ferris, and he looks at me and lets out a grand sigh. What?

'How come you don't know your own nobleman's son!　That's Tigris Lambert, son of the Duke of Lambert!　They call me 'Holy Knight' because I'm so good at light magic and swordsmanship and I'm said to be unbeatable in my grade. He also said that he had a very good match with Alexia-sister.

　Then he looks at me and lets out another sigh. Oh, I'd know, too, if you'd just tell me!　Ms. Helen taught me that!

"Lord Tigris!　Duh, please forgive me!

If you think so, get the hell out of here. I'll tell Baron Pudding. Besides, it would be annoying if all the nobles thought so.

　When Tigris said this, Puvump ran off like a de-rabbit. And the one who had been entangled thanked Tigris for his help. The girl is blushing. 'You've fallen.

'Already, Tigris is so kind. But I love Tigris like that!''

'What are you talking about?　Tigris!　I love you more than you do!　Shut your mouth, you titty monster!

What?　You poor little twerp!

　Then the ladies behind me suddenly start fighting. Why? Tigris stops it. Huh?　Something familiar. I looked at Ferris.

'That's embarrassing from the outside, isn't it? If you're in a position to stop them, you're so desperate you don't even notice.

　I say, and Ferris acknowledges it with a deflected, "Yeah, right. Do you understand?

　The two daughters, who finally realized they were being watched as people around them whispered and whispered about them, turned red and fell silent. Tigris is also smiling bitterly. And Tigris and the others are leaving, but they look at us with a surprised look on their faces. Then, for some reason, they come toward us. What?

'Well, well, well!　Princess Ferris, isn't it?　Long time no see!　I haven't seen you since I met you when I came here to study!　I didn't expect to see you so soon!　Would you like to come with us?　I would love to have Princess Ferris show me around.

　And Tigris takes Ferris' hand and kisses the back of his hand. You bastard. It's annoying, but we'll have to bear with it. This is a nobleman's greeting. You shouldn't be angry at this level.

　Patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience.

'Well, if you don't mind, we could have dinner after the Commencement ceremony.　I would love to invite you to my mansion!

　I'm losing my patience!　Don't look at the ladies behind you like you have no choice!

I'm sorry, but this woman is very important to me. You'll have to find someone else.

　And I lean over to Ferris' side and hug his waist. The girls watching around me cheer yellow. I can hear jealousy from the boys. And Ferris says, "Oh, it's my girl! Guffaw~" she says happily. I didn't say she's my girl, though.

Hmm?　Who are you?　I'm not into men, so it didn't catch my eye.

　That's like saying to yourself that you're just a womanizer. Me and Tigris glare at each other. Then.

Stop it!　I have no taste for staring at a man like that!

　He's going to get wet. The girls hear that and scream again!　And a yellow voice. Not good!　I have to deny it before I get it wrong.

'Neither do I, you bastard!

　I mean, I'm not going to get anywhere!　

Well, I wouldn't be so tactless as to take a woman with a man on the side. So don't worry. So, Princess Ferris. I will not dine with you, but I will see you again. Farewell, then!

　And then Tigris leaves. The ladies behind him follow. He's a strange guy, but he doesn't seem to be a bad guy. .........stop giggling and come back to reality soon, Ferris.

　And there it is.

'Oh!　I found it!　Mr. Ferris, Mr. Ray!

　Vice President Melody came over. She may be running at full speed, but she looks like a child running briskly, saying "Te Te Te Te.

You're lost. You're lost, little girl.

　I said that as a joke.

'Hey!　Who's lost?　As expected, I won't get lost in the school either!

　And then he raises his hands to the top of his head and gets mukey and angry. I mean, I guess I'm lost outside the school.

'I was just kidding, Vice-President. So what's the matter with you?

'Oh!　That's right; both of them were wanted by the headmaster. Please come at once.

　And the Vice Chancellor steps out. I pull Ferris, who is still away, and follow him to the Vice President. What the hell does he want?　

　◇ ◇ ◇.

''What have you been thinking about since just now?　Still on the subject of Princess Ferris?

　Oops, I was thinking too much.

Yeah. It's not like Tigris.

'Oh God, Misha. Can't you use a little more girly language?

Hmm. It's a very s*xual thing for me. The way Kara talks to you, I can't help but notice it.

　Oops, the two of them start fighting again.

'Oh well, calm down, you two. I was thinking of the guy with Princess Ferris.

　They both look at me in surprise when I say this. What's wrong with you?

"Tigris, you're kidding me!　Really manly!

'No, Tigris!　You can't just go that way!

　And then he struggles to stop. 'Oh, I see.

"Ha, that's okay. But I don't care if that's what you're saying, you know who he is?

　They tilt their heads when I ask. He's cute, though.

'Not the son of some nobleman?'

Yeah. Well, I guess that's the high point, since you said he was your significant other.

"He's the Thunderer,

　When I say that, the two of them look surprised again.

''That 'Thunder Emperor' who defeated the vampire?　Wasn't that just gossip?　The truth is that both of them were beaten by the headmaster.

　Kara said and Misha nodded.

'No, that story is true. And the people from the magic division actually saw the fight.''

　And I start walking again. I've always wanted to meet him, but I never thought I'd see him so soon. I can't wait to see what happens next.
