Halfway through, the carriages that carried the students arrive at the Town of Asteriol. Because they got plenty of sleep inside the carriage, everybody was full of energy. Since they usually stay in the school and rarely ever go outside, their tension is on MAX.
“Fuu……how juvenile. Frolicking about”
“Asch-sama, you sure have the gall to say that when you are making me carry a mountain of souvenirs huh”
Mira, stares fixedly at him while carrying a large amount of bags in both hands.
“My connections are broad after all. Even this much, is on the fewer side”
“Is it my imagination, that they are all pet food for the Demon Beasts you are rearing?”
“……ah, Estelise-sensei. I have prepared a special present for you”
He forcefully changes the subject and circles his hand over her shoulders.
“……”
Silent. That expression of hers is cloudy somewhere.
“You don’t have to be so shy, you know”
An ero Magician who, takes advantage of the opportunity, and spews egocentric words.
“……”
‘Where and how did you look at her, for her to look like she’s shy’, was the capable butler’s thought. In reality, Estelise’s complexion is as cloudy as can be.
“……Asch-sensei, about the break time, can we not shorten it by 30 minutes?”
“Nn? But, the students are also having fun”
A romantic Magician who’s actually, thinking about going around the famous clocktower nearby for a date. He, of course, doesn’t care about the students.
“……is that so”
“I’ll think about it if you have some kind of special reason though?”
It’s troubling if he’s too unsympathetic and she gets a chauvinistic impression of him. He schemes to listen to her opinion as intimate colleagues and casually refuse.
“……”
She doesn’t give any answer.
“Mira, do you feel any special gaze?”
As expected, he feels slightly suspicious, of her out of ordinary condition.
“……no, I believe we are not being particularly watched”
“So, it seems. Hey, Estelise-sensei. Won’t you try talking to me if you have some kind of worry?”
“……”
Ignore.
‘He sure isn’t trusted at all’, is the thought of the competent butler who was staring from the side.
At that moment,
“Asch-sensei. Estelise-sensei. Welcome back”
The one who showed himself was, Lioar. As always, his strides that don’t alert the other party of his presence, give the other party the impression that he appeared out of nowhere.
“Board Chairman……”
She makes a clearly relieved expression and rushes over happily.
“You are rather untrusted huh, unlike someone”
“Mira……shut it”
While looking at the two of them, the clownish Magician, stands there in frustration unmovingly.
“Asch-sensei, good work. How was the excursion?”
Lioar, asks while stretching his curved white beard as always.
“……hahaha, it was extraordinarily fruitful. Isn’t it so, Estelise-sensei. The night view we saw inside the tent together is an unforgettable memory huh”
Diversion.
A crazy-jealous Dark Magician whose sublime competitiveness is burning towards the old man before his eyes
“Oh-, oh my, Asch-sensei. If you put it that way, it’s like something happened, isn’t it. Board Chairman, nothing happened. Realーly, nothing happened”
“Hohoho, I understand”
Flirty.
Affectionate.
An exchange that occurs between Lioar and Estelise.
“……hahahaha. Yeah. Realーly, nothing happened. Realーly huh”
An ill-natured Magician, who wants to present it like something really happened, when really, completely, and genuinely nothing happened.
Looking at the desperate figure, Mira, she thought.
‘What an outlandish clown(pierrot)’
“Leaving that aside, Estelise. No need to worry too much. I had dealt with it in advance before you guys came”
Brushing Asch’s words aside, Lioar tells her.
“Is that so……I’m glad”
She makes a relieved expression from the bottom of her heart.
“What is going on, I wonder? What are you saying you dealt with?”
Asch turns to the old man and asks.
“……this is, not the best place. I will explain it after we return to Hogner Magic Academy”
“Hmm……are you saying you can’t explain it here?”
“Asch-sensei……”
Estelise moves her lips close to his ear while saying that.
And then, she whispered in a voice only the Dark Magician could hear.
‘We are being watched’
