“Long time no see!”

Bena suddenly hugs Elin and rubs her cheek.

The height difference between the two was still noticeable.

This is because Benado’s growth did not stop.

“… Is it bigger?”

“Huh? Um, I guess so?”

“How long will it grow?”

Elin opens her eyes wide and stabs his chest.

“Whoa! That’s what you were talking about?! W-That’s sexual harassment… !”

“Stop it.”

“And, Your Highness, you have grown a lot too… .”

“Are you lying?”

“Kkiyaaak!!”

When Ellen hit her chest hard.

Bena ran away with a sad look on her face.

“Oh my… .”

Nia shook her head and let out a heartfelt sigh.

“Long time no see… No, it’s been a while, Nia.”

“Are you still not used to speaking informally, oppa?”

“Because it’s a habit.”

“You’re still the same, oppa.”

“You’ve grown bigger since then.”

“Is that so?”

Nia tilted her head.

Although she wasn’t as big as Ellen.

She’s already a senior at the academy.

At 19 years old, his body was already no different from that of an adult.

“It seems similar to me.”

Elin, who had returned after venting her anger on Bena, looked at Nia.

Nia’s height is approximately 160 cm.

Of course, it wasn’t a story about kidneys.

“You’re picking a fight as soon as you see me after such a long time?”

Nia blushed and covered her chest with both hands.

“But you weren’t right, right, Sister… .”

Bena, who had returned stumbling, also covered her chest and sobbed.

A princess who harasses two women within 5 minutes of appearing.

I was very fortunate to have a high status at least now.

“Teacher, do you still like Bena?”

“… Yes?”

“I said I liked that big chunk of fat that was hanging around uselessly.”

“Oh, Princess!! Why are you doing this to me… … !”

no.

I thought wrong.

You’re harassing three people, including Luke.

I firmly resolved to develop Elin’s social skills.

“When did I say that Bena was my type?”

“I did that before.”

“Never.”

It was unfair.

At that time, someone pointed out that I had a nice body like Bena, so I said yes so as not to feel embarrassed.

Actually, Luke doesn’t like things that are too big.

I’ve never really thought deeply about my ideal type.

If I have to be picky, I’m more drawn to Slender.

like…….

“Ann. Could you hit me once?”

Luke, who had been looking at Elin without realizing it, closed his eyes tightly.

puck!

“Why all of a sudden?”

“Cool… Are you going to hit me first and then ask me?”

“No. He asked me to hit him.”

My back feels like it’s going to burst.

Luke, his mind suddenly awakened, looked around.

“Let’s get out of here for now.”

“Uh… That would be good.”

Nia agreed.

Before I knew it, students had gathered around me.

… meant that everyone had just seen the disgrace.

“Princess. Could you please open the portal for me?”

“Where?”

“I will specify the location for you.”

Exactly.

Ellen snapped her fingers.

Luke took her hand and passed on the mana.

A portal appeared in the rippling space.

“What the… You can do this now?”

“Wow, wow…! How great are you, Your Highness!!”

Nia and Bena, who were unaware of Elin’s spatial magic achievements, opened their mouths wide.

“Is that the portal I’ve only heard about?”

“But is that what Luke wrote?”

“Of course. You’re so good at handling space magic.”

“It looks like the kid next to me wrote it… .”

Tingle-

The student who was called Little was overcome by Elin’s gaze and froze.

The student, unaware that his friend had frozen, continued to whisper.

“… Then aren’t you Luke’s disciple? That, Bertain’s youngest princess.”

“… … !”

The face of the student who called Bertain’s youngest princess a kid turned pale.

… If I stay here for no reason, I’ll catch a kid.

“Come on in.”

I don’t intend to traumatize a student passing by.

Luke led his group into the portal.

* * * * *

“But where is this?”

As soon as he came in, Nia asked.

It definitely looks like an academy building.

It was a place I had never been to before.

“In front of the president’s office.”

“Huh?”

“Yes?”

Nia and Bena tilted their heads at the same time.

“Why is the president’s office suddenly like this?”

“I have to ask myself why they erected a statue of me in front of the Faculty of Magic.”

“Huh? Didn’t you say that your brother agreed?”

“There are more reasons to invade.”

“Invade, what is that―”

bang!

Luke kicked open the door to the principal’s office and stormed in.

“What, what! … Oh, it’s you.”

The president, who had been startled, sat back down.

“You don’t show up when I look for you. You show up when I least expect you?”

“What is the statue erected in front of the Faculty of Magic?”

“It’s still the same as going straight to the main point… .”

The president hid the pretty girl figure he had been gently cleaning, brushing his beard, in a drawer.

That gentleman’s tastes are very consistent.

“Is it possible to make a statue without permission?”

“No way. If you had sued, you would have been taken to Berkeley long ago.”

But, the president added, looking at Luke with eyes full of excellence.

“If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to see the Academy.”

“What… … .”

A comment I never thought I would hear in my life.

This was definitely not something I wanted to hear from my grandfather, a figure collector who ran a school as a hobby.

“This was the right answer. No matter what letter I sent, there was no response. When I built a statue, he came to me!”

therefore.

Did you intentionally cause trouble to draw aggro?

Frankly, I had to admit that it was a great strategy.

“So why are you looking for me?”

“You haven’t read a single one of my letters!”

Got caught.

Letters to the president were piled up in a subspace without being read.

“Let me get straight to the point. I want to hire you as a special professor.”

“No way.”

The answer did not come from Luke.

“Teacher is mine.”

Ellen spoke as if it were a self-evident fact, like the sun rises in the east.

“Huh? You are… Ah! You are the next head of Bertain.”

I guess the president of the academy is well-versed in worldly affairs.

The president immediately recognized Elin.

“Here I see a small pillar that represents the center of the empire. This is an honor.”

“??”

The president bows deeply.

The eyes that looked at Elin shone like lasers.

“Let’s change the strategy. Princess Elin Bertain. Don’t you plan on entering the Academy?”

To say outright that you’re going to change your strategy?

He was a very transparent person.

“Of course, you don’t have to start from the first year.”

“Is that so?”

“Appropriately, our academy has a transfer system. I heard you have such great magic skills. How about transferring to the third year?”

Bena’s eyes sparkled at the mention of transferring to the third year.

“I don’t like it.”

The light went out again in the face of the blunt rejection.

“Uh, why?”

“If I enroll, you plan on making me a professor, right?”

“Well, I won’t deny it. But then will there be a problem?”

“Because the teacher wants to monopolize me.”

A declaration so bold that it makes you laugh out loud.

“Hehehe… I didn’t know you could be this decisive. This is… … .”

The president sat down on his seat and opened a drawer.

He naturally took out a pretty girl figure and let his beard hang down.

“Okay, I won’t bother you anymore, so you can go back… .”

“Wait a minute.”

Where are you just going to pass it by?

“Please remove the statue.”

“… Can’t we leave it as a landmark of the Magic Department?”

“I’ll clean it up myself.”

“Tsk… .”

The president, who was trying to pass it off naturally, clicked his tongue as if it was a waste.

* * * * *

-It would be a shame to destroy the statue we worked so hard to create, so let’s just take it to the Academy warehouse.

After reaching a dramatic compromise, I left the president’s office.

“Princess… .”

Bena, who had been standing in front of the president, clung to Elin.

“Can’t you transfer?”

“No.”

“Wouldn’t it be fun to go to the academy with me?”

“Yeah.”

“… … Actually, I think so.”

If you’re so good at handling spatial magic, what would you learn at the academy?

But Bena, who couldn’t give up, forcibly pulled out her hair.

“Chi, don’t you want to make friends or something like that?”

“You’re here.”

“Oh my… That’s touching… But… Ugh… … .”

Bena, with her eyes wide open, turned her head away without being able to continue speaking.

It’s already been five years since I first got to know Bena.

Elin, who felt something strange, turned her head towards Bena.

“Bena. Don’t you have any friends?”

“!!”

A body that suddenly shakes.

It was so obvious that it didn’t need answering.

“… None.”

“So you want to hang out with me?”

“… Okay.”

Would you reconsider?

Bena looks at Elin with eyes that say,

“How about making friends other than me?”

At least I heard what I didn’t want to hear from Ellen and fell asleep again.

“Somehow. You come to me too often.”

Nia, who had been listening silently, nodded her head.

Thanks to that, Bena completely shrank and became smaller than Elin.

… No, looking at it again, that seems difficult.

Ellen was much smaller than I thought.

“But why don’t you have any friends? If you had the skills, you wouldn’t have any friends.”

Skills and abilities.

Luke’s network expanded just by doing that.

Probably every single one of the graduating class who crossed paths with Luke would know him.

Since Benado was evaluated as a promising prospect, there will be many people who approach him even if he stays still.

“Well… I don’t think it’ll happen to me?”

When Bena answers sullenly.

“Huh? Bena!”

On the other side, someone saw Bena and waved happily.

How dare you talk to such a large crowd.

How can you do that when you’re not my friend?

“Would you like to have a meal together next month?”

Surprisingly, it could be done.

The recommended unit was a bit strange.

Not next ‘week’, but next ‘month’?

Is that how you usually make appointments?

I soon realized what the awkwardness was all about.

“Just a moment… ”

Bena takes out a calendar and flips through it.

I gave an embarrassed smile at the sight of the jam-packed schedule.

“Oh, sorry. My schedule is completely full until next month… .”

“Uh, um. I see. Tell me next time you have a chance… .”

The student who had spoken up bravely crouched down and walked down the hallway.

“Isn’t that why you don’t have any friends?”

“Yes?”

Bena blinks with an expression on her face as if she doesn’t know what’s wrong.

“You’re so ironclad. Who would come and talk to you like that?”

“Is that so…?”

“Oh my.”

Nia wiped her face in the same pose as Luke.

“I don’t do that either.”

“Ugh… .”

Elin delivers the finishing blow.

“Seo, was I wrong?”

After three years, Bena realized why she had no friends.
