It’s the weekend.

It is said that most students spend their first weekend at the academy going out on their own to see the capital or doing whatever they want.

I think it’s probably because most people are coming to the capital for the first time.

“Wow, Theo! Let’s buy that too, us!”

“This is my first time coming to the mart, but they really sell a lot of things.”

“Estelle, don’t go alone, come with me…!”

I also left the academy with two girls and went shopping at a nearby large mart.

Although they do sell food on the Academy grounds, there are mostly restaurants and convenience stores rather than marts, so I could say that I took the two people who had never been to a mart out to look around.

“This has a really long shelf life. Even if there’s a war, I think I’ll be able to eat it for a long time.”

“No, Iris. Don’t say such scary things. What about war? I like peace.”

“Of course, what I like the most is peace.”

Iris, who talks about war so casually.

“Oh my! I guess I can ride in this cart! The kids are riding it! Should I ride it too?”

“No, Estelle isn’t a baby.”

Estelle, who was struggling to get on the cart.

It’s inevitable that regrets are welling up inside me, like a flood, thinking that I should have just gone home and practiced my teleportation magic instead of going out with these two people.

Even if it’s your first time! Is it really okay to act like a child like this?

“Oh my, isn’t that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and the Holy Lady?”

In addition, the two of them are very pretty and attract attention, but since they are openly advertising that they are the crown princess and the saintess, it is a bit tiring because everyone’s attention is focused on them.

“I guess I should have disguised myself and come out.”

“I didn’t know you would know this right away.”

Estelle and Iris still don’t seem to realize how striking their appearance is.

“That’s why I told you to disguise yourself. Aren’t you two tired of people staring at you?”

“Um, I’m fine. When I was in the Holy Empire, I often met with the people of the Empire.”

Well, sure, Estelle is a capital E, so that could be possible.

“… I’m a little tired.”

But Iris was clearly an I like me, so she seemed to think that she was definitely tired.

“It seems like Theo and Iris don’t really like playing with people.”

“No, rather than that, I think it’s just that the gaze of an unspecified number of people is burdensome.”

Even if you explain it to her a little, Estelle with a capital E will definitely not understand.

As someone who enjoys the gaze of an unspecified number of people, she probably doesn’t understand why we are tired.

“Well, since you two are both tired, should we try disguising ourselves now?”

After saying that, Estelle uses her magic to erase the star drawn on her forehead and turn her hair black.

Even though the long hair is somewhat noticeable, if you tie up your hair and wear a hat, it will hide some of the pretty appearance, so it’s definitely okay.

“Iris also has her hair tied up and wears a hat.”

I brought two hats because I thought something like this might happen, so I put one on Estelle and give one to Iris.

“Ah, yes! Please put it on me too, Theo… !”

Iris’s cute behavior of sticking her head out and asking for the hat to be put on, even though she could have just received it and put it on, made me giggle and put the hat on her.

No, but isn’t it unfair for someone with such a pretty appearance to act so cute?

I keep getting excited and thrilled and thinking, “Huh?” I’m cute!

“You did a good job coming out wearing normal clothes!”

Although the academy usually wears its uniform, I was the one who insisted that it would be better to wear other, more ordinary clothes rather than the academy uniform when going out.

Their outfits tend to be very eye-catching, so I borrowed my clothes to make them look more casual, and after I put my hat on them, they ended up looking completely ordinary.

My clothes… are pretty ordinary.

“Anyway, that’s it… Aya… !”

Estelle gets excited again and tries to move, but she can’t see properly and ends up bumping into someone.

I, I. I thought I was going to have an accident, but I ended up having an accident.

“Oh my gosh, what is that!”

The ones I bumped into were some guys, and no matter how I looked at them, they looked like gangsters. What is this?

You can see the typical events unfolding before your eyes when pretty women come out.

“Oh, sorry! I couldn’t see properly… ”

“Huh? What the? You were a pretty older sister. Then it’s okay~ As an apology, if you just play with us~”

“Ugh, what kind of typical gangster comment is this.”

At first, Estelle apologized for her mistake, but then her face crumpled at the typical thug comment and, as expected, stabbed him in the heart directly.

“This is so gross. Are these punks conspiring to use this kind of speech among themselves? Why do they all speak so similarly?”

He even asked me very seriously, as if he had been curious about it all along.

It’s Estelle after all.

It’s a very unusual sight.

It’s really amazing how, even when you run into some punks, you don’t feel worried at all or think about saving them.

“What is this bitch talking about? Are you crazy, right now?”

“Huh, I thought the face looked a bit half-and-half, so I said yes, but now I don’t see anything?!”

“Whether my face is half-and-half or not, it’s my face. Anyway, I did it because I was the one who bumped into you. And you keep talking informally to me?”

Originally, Estelle didn’t show herself like that in front of me.

I tried hard to look quite feminine, innocent, and pure, but after the Lina incident, that kind of appearance has disappeared a lot.

Of course, when you talk to me, you still feel a bit more formal than when you talk to other people.

“Are you going to leave me alone, Theo?”

“Well, I don’t think I have anything to do.”

If Estelle had been weaker than those punks, I would have naturally stepped in to save her.

Anyway, the swordsmanship and magic I have now should be able to suppress those punks in an instant.

But Estelle is not such a weak woman.

I guess it’s the kind of feeling I get from a strong woman who’d step forward and get rid of me before I even get to do anything!

“Should we finish watching Jang Na? I think it would be easier to watch it while Estelle is away.”

“Oh, right. If you keep hanging out with Estelle, things like that might keep happening.”

So we just told Estelle to fight comfortably and leisurely left the scene of the incident.

Oh, and I’d also like to add that you shouldn’t kill people.

***

“Oh my, really. You’re such a bother. You made me and Theo fall apart, I can’t help it.”

Estelle was clearly smiling, but unlike before, her smile had a creepy feel to it, and the punks in front of her flinched without realizing it.

“What, what is it… Why am I… ?”

The gangsters were incredibly large and never cowered in front of anyone even relatively strong.

Although they weren’t so strong that they would be confident in winning a fight, they had a lot of experience with grabbing hold of someone and throwing a tantrum, so most people would just roll their eyes and crawl away. However, the woman in front of them was clearly much smaller than them, but she gave off a strangely eerie aura.

“… Let’s catch that woman and take her away.”

They didn’t know why they felt that way, but it was a problem they could easily solve by catching them and taking them with them to enjoy.

When the big guys slowly started to approach Estelle.

“Bondage.”

Estelle’s small lips moved as she recited the magic spell, and in an instant she uttered the incantation.

“Eww…?!”

“What the heck, I can’t move my body…!”

“Oh my, that was a female wizard…?!”

It was obviously impossible for ordinary punks to defeat a magician who could cast magic.

“Haa, you’re annoying. Why don’t you shut your mouth?”

When they were made to stop moving their mouths, the punks who were stuck in that position, unable to move or speak, realized that they had messed with the wrong person and began to sweat profusely.

“What should I do? Should I leave it like this and let people criticize it, or should I make it even more of a mess?”

Estelle would normally have stopped here, but she was quite angry now.

I finally went out on a date with Theo, and I was a little annoyed that Iris was there too.

It was because of this situation that she ended up with strange men and Iris ended up dating Theo.

“Yeah, I guess I’ll have to make it a bit more damaged.”

Of course, I had no intention of using attack magic directly in the middle of an indoor mart like this.

That would have caused quite a stir, and Theo didn’t like being the center of attention.

Of course, Theo had already gone with Iris and was nowhere to be seen, but Estelle still thought of Theo and did not use any attack magic.

“I will attack your mind. A mental attack so terrible that it will remain a trauma for the rest of your life.”

The punks who messed with Estelle, who was getting irritated, ended up receiving a terrible, lifelong trauma in return.

‘Save me…!’

Even though she was shouting that in her heart, Estelle never stopped.
