“Now, today we will learn about the history of the empire.”

Peaceful Academy 1st year lower class.

There, homeroom professor Lapis Ryan’s class was in full swing.

As expected, the class didn’t suit my temper, although the handwriting was a bit messy.

Still, I am continuing to explain with my own passion.

Of course, I was in the midst of other thoughts.

Because I was facing a much more important problem than my history class.

In fact, it’s ambiguous to even call it a problem, it’s a bit of a happy worry.

Like most of my concerns, this one also has to do with Arlot.

About a week has already passed since I entered the academy,

She is adjusting well to school life.

What is noteworthy is the relationship with Koyono.

The two are close enough to go to school together every day.

It’s to the point where he always brags about being happy that he made his first same-sex friend.

On the other hand, the expected relationship with Evan…

Unfortunately, no progress at all.

‘Is it time to realize the plan?’

Arlot, Evan, and Evan set up a pure love route.

To this end, the access of the surrounding heroes is blocked at the source.

The so-called ‘Evan and Arlot Love Love Pure Love Battle!’

… Aside from the naming sense, the content was very important.

In order to maximize the contact between Arlot and Evan, a natural situation is created.

I make all sorts of excuses and make it possible for the two of us to spend time together after falling out.

If you create a situation that is too contrived, problems may arise.

It will be a big deal if you have a crush before you have a crush.

At first, it would be good to induce a moderate conversation.

“… Then, about the process of the unification of the empire that we talked about so far… Okay, Shall Schmitz wrap it up and talk about it?”

this.

When I woke up, Ryan was staring at me with sparkling eyes.

The look on his face saying, “Would you please answer me once?”

Did you say the process of unification of the empire?

Instead of opening the textbook, I started digging through the settings of the original work that had been stuck in my head.

This country has maintained a long history, dividing a large peninsula into four ethnic groups.

They are the Eastern peoples in the east, the northern peoples in the north, the elves in the west, and the beastmen in the south.

After a long time of pushing and pushing, the northern peoples succeeded in unifying the four peoples.

The king of the north ascended to the throne of the emperor, and the royal family of the existing people was sealed as the feudal lord of each region.

As we were talking about this in detail, Ryan gave us a look that said it was quite right.

“Then, can you explain the development after unification?”

“After Hexler III declared the Empire, he started the business of expanding his territory.”

“therefore?”

“The purpose of the project was to clear the land from the peninsula to the continent, but in the process, we confirmed the appearance of demons. Since then, the northern and eastern parts connected to the continent are still engaged in fighting with the demons.”

“… Well, there is no time to criticize.”

She says it like she’s sorry.

That professor, I often feel like I’m impatient because he couldn’t eat me.

It seemed that a love-hate relationship had already formed.

“As he explained, the battle with the demons is still going on. Dozens of soldiers are dying every day on the northern and eastern fronts.”

Ryan rarely speaks seriously.

The children of nobles, who were not even interested in classes, notice the heavy air and begin to move their eyes to the church.

“It is a story that we must not forget the existence of demons. The reason we can survive is because there are wires drawn with blood. You guys who will graduate from the academy and become officers should not forget this all the more, right?”

Ding dong dang dong-

At the end of her story, the bell announcing lunchtime rings.

She, who had the face of a veteran, quickly returns to the face of a selfish professor.

“Today’s class ends here. Lobster is served as a lunch special, so make sure you eat well.”

In line with Ryan’s declaration of termination, students leave the classroom in groups of three to five.

Looking around to have a meal with Koyono…

He probably ran out to the lunch room as soon as the bell rang.

Anyway, I need to know what to eat.

I made my way to Arlotte’s seat, and took a seat behind the wheelchair with a familiar hand.

“Shall we go, lady?”

“Yes, I’m looking forward to the lobster.”

Having lived all her life in the North, she is just about to hook up to seafood.

Among them, I liked the lobster the most.

I must hurry before dawn.

I hurried to the dining room.

* * *

The academy’s cafeteria, like the best in the empire, serves high-quality food in a buffet format.

Lobster served as a lunch special was also part of this.

Thanks to Schmitz’s haste, Arlott was able to taste it without a problem.

Cheese drizzled over the glossy lobster tail.

It created a happy scene just by looking at it.

“I will enjoy this food.”

Arlott first grabs a spoon and sets out to attack the lobster.

However, the memory of eating lobster was counted on one finger, so it seemed that it was still clumsy.

Schmitz, who was silently watching this, took her hand and kindly taught her how to take care of it.

‘As expected, Schmitz is kind.’

As he put the lobster meat he had coated in his mouth, Arlott realized it all over again.

That he is in the same class as you.

Also, it was all thanks to his kindness that I was able to fit in without difficulty in that class.

He wanted many people to recognize his kindness, but it was too much.

There were various factions in the class, and the only ones she talked to were Schmitz and Koyono.

Of course, Koyono was a good friend, but…

I couldn’t just keep talking about Schmitz.

I didn’t want to make something like the old social church,

Just hearing Schmidt’s name made Koyono’s expression noticeably heavy.

Let’s think about that while messing around with lobsters for a while.

Schmitz’s expression suddenly turns bright.

“My lady, could I bring a companion?”

Following his gaze, there was a man with a messy hair.

His name is Evan, looking around while holding a plate.

Schmitz was an oddly caring person.

“Yeah, it doesn’t matter too much.”

“Then, I’ll bring you.”

He tells Schmitz about various things.

Evan nodded a few times and quickly took a seat across from Arlot.

Seeing the three of them sitting together, it was Schmitz who smiled single-single.

Just when the meal was about to resume…

“Uh, oh my gosh…”

“…Schmitz?

“I’m sorry. Suddenly I feel a little…”

Schmitz awkwardly twists his body and leaves.

‘It’s too obvious acting.’

Arlott swallowed a laugh at it without saying anything.

The reason why he risked awkwardness and avoided the seat.

Because I could roughly guess it.

Even at the entrance ceremony, Schmitz praised a man named Evan very much.

Even in class, I often tried to connect the two.

‘Perhaps he’s trying to make Evan and me friends.’

Arlott came to that conclusion himself.

So she shifted her gaze to Evan, who was moving the spoon without a word.

“Hey Evan?”

“… ?”

“Academy meals are so delicious, right? Students from many provinces will come, and seeing all of them are satisfied.”

“… ”

Evan smiled silently and nodded.

Arlott, who gained confidence from that appearance, led the conversation little by little.

It was just that, unbeknownst to me, she was gradually starting to talk about Schmitz.

“I really liked the academy classes. I’ve been sick, so I haven’t been able to go to school… It’s all thanks to Schmitz.”

The rose garden Schmitz made, the teddy bear Schmitz picked out…

When I came to my senses, all of a sudden, the story was fixed with Schmitz’s pride.

“So Schmitz… oh.”

Arlott realized this while the conversation was going on.

Before long, feeling embarrassed, Arlott’s face began to flush red.

‘Idiot, Schmitz said you shouldn’t talk like this… ‘

It was a mistake I made unconsciously because he was so unresponsive.

Arlott was nervous and slowly looked at Evan’s expression.

Or a frowning expression,

Because I could smoke or do something else.

“… ?”

However, Evan just tilted his head, as if Arlott was puzzled.

It seemed that he had been listening to Schmitz’s story quite intently.

“… If you don’t mind… Can I tell you about Schmitz from time to time?”

“… ”

Evan also nodded.

Arlott smiled broadly at his reaction.

I wanted to brag about Schmitz’s story to someone,

Also, I wanted to talk openly about my thoughts and concerns about Schmitz.

Having someone like that was a pretty happy thing for her.

“sorry. You are very late.”

“Hmm? No. You came back just in time.”

“…”

Meanwhile, Schmitz, who had returned to his seat, was inwardly singing for joy.

After using the bathroom as an excuse, I watched the two of them from behind a pillar in the restaurant.

It was thanks to the misunderstanding that the formation of the relationship between the two was successful.

But he didn’t even know in his dreams.

The fact that Arlott’s attention is all on him
