episode_0110

Inside a dormitory at Regis Academy.

A brown-haired girl. Annie looked at her roommate curiously.

“Iris. What’s that crow?”

In Annie’s words, Iris is treated as if she were a precious treasure.

He introduced Annie to a bird with black feathers, petting it gently.

“Hehehe.. It’s my pet! I got it as a gift.”

Iris’ expression as she spoke was a truly happy smile.

“Aren’t crows good pets?”

“Oh..No?!!?! How good is that?

Iris was startled by Annie’s words, then got excited and spoke to Annie in a loud voice.

“How cute, cool, sturdy, and beautiful the crow is!”

“Huh…?”

“There is absolutely no bird in this world more perfect than a crow!!!”

“…..”

There was a lot I wanted to say, but I decided to move on, thinking that anime is a matter of personal taste.

‘Isn’t the crow a symbol of disaster? It doesn’t go well with a saint.’

Well, it’s just a superstition anyway. It doesn’t matter.

Thinking so, Annie said to Iris with a mischievous smile.

“By the way, Iris. Are you seeing anyone these days?”

“Yes…Yes?!”

“I’ve been seeing you smiling a lot lately. You look like a girl in love, don’t you?”

Iris is greatly embarrassed by Annie’s words.

But soon she blushed and lowered her head.

“Actually..I have someone I like..”

“What?!”

Annie was shocked by Iris’ shocking words.

Soon Annie ran excitedly to Iris and grabbed her shoulder, saying:

“Who?! Since when?! Where?!!”

“That’s…that’s a secret..”

Annie kept asking after that, but surprisingly, Iris firmly answered that she couldn’t tell her.

‘Because Hera told me to hide my identity..’

Iris thought to herself.

In the end, Annie let out a deep sigh as if she had given up on Iris’ will.

“What. I don’t know who you are, but you took the heart of a saint. What a blessed man.”

Iris felt a pang in her heart at Annie’s words, but she laughed it off.

Soon she was lying on the bed, holding the crow in her arms, staring at the ceiling.

‘I wish the weekend would come quickly..’

Hera said she’d meet us every weekend, so we’ll be able to meet again, right?

What should I wear then..?

What should I wear so that Hera will like me a little more?

I’m also wondering where to go on a date.

Actually, I think it would be nice to just walk with Hera.

Can I hold your hand?

I think I would be really happy if we walked around here and there holding hands.

And as time passes and the late night comes.

Romantically, the two of them looked at the moon and kissed..-

Iris’ face burst open in embarrassment.

But still, what was so good about it? She was burying her face in the pillow and giggling.

The way she rolled around on the bed, screaming, she really looked like a girl in love.

“I want to see you soon, Heranim..”

* * *

“You want to enroll in the academy?

The old man in front of him. Darkan asked with his eyes wide open.

“Yes. When can I enroll?”

“Bah..It’s possible right now!! You thought about it well. You won’t regret it.”

I frowned slightly at the sight of my favorite old man jumping up and down on both feet.

If I didn’t know Darkhan’s true identity, I would have thought he was crazy.

Well, whatever.

I decided to enroll in the academy.

It was after seeing Iris’s serious condition that I made that resolution.

Stabbing herself with a knife. I couldn’t leave her alone when she was in serious pain.

First of all, I promised to spend time with her every weekend, but my anxiety still didn’t go away.

And another crucial reason was Lily.

Now that Lily has become a warrior, the original story will change countless times.

Because the main character in the novel was always Robin, I couldn’t figure out what the novel would have been like without him.

Perhaps the impending disaster could have been prevented, resulting in numerous casualties.

I never intended for it to be like that.

If the novel has changed, it’s all my fault.

Unlike in novels, if someone dies, all the guilt will come back to me.

So I decided to enroll.

To protect everyone.

To protect myself.

“Where do you want to go with your specialty? Normally, you would have to take a test, but I’ll put you in right away!”

The green fairy, who had returned to her original body without me knowing, opened her eyes wide and looked at me.

“I’ll go for martial arts. Please put me in the same class as the saintess.”

My unique ability is also in that category. The martial arts class would be good.

Now that I think about it, I still don’t know exactly what my unique ability is. I just thought of it as brute strength.

I’ve said this before. If you go to the temple, you can determine your unique ability.

Since she inherited the power of the goddess, high-ranking priests who use the power of the goddess will be able to see the type of ability.

And that’s probably the same for Iris. I’ll have to ask her sometime later if I get the chance.

“Martial arts class..? You don’t look like you have much stamina?”

Darkhan looked at me with a surprised expression and asked.

“It’s okay. Oh, and.”

Before finishing speaking.

I recited the spell in my head and used magic.

Then, something glowing pink exploded above me, and a flurry of dust covered my body.

As soon as I started to dust off the dust, Darkhan looked at me with his eyes wide open in surprise.

“What does that look like..? Is it a polymorph?”

“No, it’s not polymorph.”

I glanced at the small mirror next to me. A girl with plain brown hair and eyes was reflected in the mirror.

Unlike my original face, I am an ordinary girl with a round and innocent face.

It was me, disguised, one of Sephir’s abilities.

When I went on a trip with Athena before, Sephir said she followed us while wearing this disguise spell.

Although I almost got killed by Athena back then. It was a pretty sophisticated magic that even Athena didn’t notice during the process.

I spoke to Darkin with my new appearance.

“I want to hide my identity. I want to go to the academy in this form.”

If you want to watch Iris from the side, it would be better to stay like this.

And yet.

I didn’t have the confidence to look at Lily in her original form.

But if it’s this appearance… won’t I have the courage to face her?

Darkin studied my face for a moment, then scratched his head and opened his mouth.

“Uh..well. I don’t think you’ll tell me why. Okay.”

After saying that, Darkhan re-entered the old man’s body, pushed my back, and began to take me somewhere.

“Okay! Then I’ll take you to the classroom!”

“Huh? Already?”

“You can pull out the bull’s horn in one go! Let’s go quickly!”

That’s how my exciting academy life began.

.

.

.

Archmage Ariel.

A girl who is in charge of the firepower of the warrior party and possesses the terrifying power to sweep away all enemies with powerful magic.

A girl with tulip-colored hair and eyes, and who is smarter than anyone when it comes to magic.

The first time she grabbed me and dragged me out of the classroom, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

Suddenly meeting a new heroine. It made me realize that I had really come to the academy.

After that, I gradually started to feel better about her as she approached me more actively.

While being guided around the academy by her.

There’s one thing that’s bothering me.

All the time I was walking around with Ariel, I felt like there was some kind of worry on her face.

Her constant fidgeting and frequent blushing face seemed to indicate that she was not feeling well.

So I asked if he had any concerns.

Then Ariel hesitated and answered me.

“I do have a concern though..”

For some reason, I felt nervous about what she said.

I already had a headache because of Iris and Lily. If something happened to Ariel, it would be completely out of control.

But Ariel hesitated to speak out about her worries.

In a state of urgency, I grabbed her hand and said:

“Tell me. I want to help Ariel.”

‘Please, I hope it’s not a serious concern….’

While I was thinking about that.

Ariel blushed and interlocked her hands with mine.

I was momentarily taken aback by her unexpected behavior, but it was nothing serious, so I accepted her handshake.

Time passed like that.

After hesitating for a while, he finally confided his worries to me.

“What do you think about women expressing affection for each other?”

“…Huh?”

….huh?

Expression of affection?

Let’s look at Ariel with a puzzled face.

She looked at me with her eyes wide open, as if she was really curious.

“Expression of affection?”

“Yeah. Like kissing. Or touching each other’s bodies..”

I felt relieved that my worries were less serious than I thought.

I was worried that Ariel might have deviated from the original again. If you had such concerns, I would have listened to them.

By the way, since it’s an expression of affection…

hmm..

Kissing or touching…

It’s nothing, right?

Actually, when I lived with Lily, there were countless days when we kissed more than ten times a day.

And when Lily took a bath with me, she always touched my body.

Of course, I was confused at first, but I soon got used to it.

– This is just light skinship, sis.

What would have happened if I hadn’t properly learned common sense from Lily back then…

I guess everyone thought I was a person without common sense.

I was really lucky.

“Isn’t that normal between women?”

At my words, Ariel’s eyes began to tremble as if there was an earthquake.

“That’s…normal? For girls to touch each other?”

I felt curious.

‘Why are you so flustered?’

It was strange that she was surprised by something so trivial.

When I thought back on the contents of the novel, I thought I knew why.

Ariel grew up in the Tower of Eden.

A girl who grew up among books and numerous wizards.

Because she was like that, she had extensive knowledge of magic, but she couldn’t help but not know much about other things.

Maybe that’s why I’m so confused?

“Phew..”

It felt like I had just been possessed. I couldn’t help but laugh at the feeling of seeing myself looking clueless.

Why do I find her eyes, trembling like aspen trees, so cute?

I smiled at her and said,

“Ariel. You lack common sense.”

Then a fire lit up in her eyes.
