chapter 26
26 – Finding the Hero (4)
Ah. Right.
Hey.
This yellow hair.
After all, did you go to call someone?
While the eyes of Red and Blue were focused on Dia, she was the woman who immediately disappeared.
But the speculation was too strong for her to run away.
It’s as if she’s just trying to avenge the insult she’s inflicted on her.
If Dia hadn’t yelled at her in the middle, she might have attacked Red and Blue.
And no matter how stupid the two women from earlier were, they were aristocrats in their own right.
This yellow guy couldn’t win easily.
While Dia caught the attention of the two women, she must have gone to pick up those who could help her right away.
Just…….
“I told you to get your hands off it, man. Do you think you’re allowed to hug any girl just because you look nice?”
The situation ended badly.
And that, of course, while I was still holding Dia.
No, why am I still holding him?
I was startled and tore off my right arm that was wrapped around Dia’s body.
“…… Ah.”
I heard something regrettable from Dia’s mouth, but it must be because of her mood.
“You! What’s your relationship with those girls?”
Are you talking about the red and blue ones?
“Even if you ask what kind of relationship it is…… Is this the first time you saw each other?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you? Then why are you touching Dia freely?”
As expected, does that look like the situation where I was hugging and teasing Dia?
Why are those women leaving?
“I was touching you. That sounds totally weird. I was not touching her, I was trying to protect her.”
“Protection? Dia? What is she protecting from?
“From the strange woman who foolishly tried to cast magic earlier.”
If you say completely disinterested, it’s not like that again, but it’s true that I tried to protect her.
“Don’t lie. That she was trying to cast magic. No matter how mindless an academy student she is, she hasn’t even entered yet, so there’s no way she’s like that.”
Sure. Originally, there was no way to do that, but what was she just now?
Anyway, the atmosphere of the humans this yellow guy brought is bloody.
Judging by the atmosphere and appearance there, there is a high probability that they are all commoners.
They must have come to punish the women who insulted them earlier because they were commoners.
And again, I am a nobleman.
Under their circumstances, it would seem that nobles were arbitrarily harassing commoner women just because they were commoners.
Things have gone awry.
How do I do this? Should we find an eyewitness among the onlookers and have them testify?
Just as she was thinking about it, rolling her head, Dia came in and blocked the way between them.
“… Dia?”
She stood between me and them with her arms outstretched as if to protect me.
And at this, Yellowy showed a surprised expression as if he did not understand her behavior.
“…… No.”
“No?”
“This, this person is not like that!”
“…… What?”
* * *
“Sorry! I just looked at the situation and made my own judgment!”
A cafe located inside the academy.
The three of us, Yellowy, Dia, and I, were sitting in a corner seat.
The misunderstanding was resolved thanks to the lull caused by Dia’s words.
Yellowy sent off the reinforcements he brought with a meaning of apology and gratitude, and the three of us went to a nearby cafe to talk.
In order to find a quiet place away from the onlookers driven by the commotion, I came to a corner seat that was only accessible by turning around the corner in the cafe.
Contrary to how she looked like a loner from earlier, Dia continued to speak fluently to Yellowy.
To some extent, it’s like the image of Dia in my memory.
But why didn’t she say that earlier and she acted strangely?
And with D.A.’S explanation, all misunderstandings were resolved and Yellowy apologized to me, which is the current situation.
“No. Are you okay. It was an embarrassing situation.”
To be honest, I felt a little bad.
In the first place, isn’t it a completely unfair misunderstanding that this yellow person is someone I don’t know and that I was making fun of Dia.
But in front of Dia. She didn’t want to show her bad side.
“My name is Amy! Those two years ago… Oh, I’m sorry. Thank you for saving Dia from those two women. Those b*tches asked me to come out wearing school uniforms because they wanted to get close. So I went out to make new friends, but I didn’t expect them to be such trashy b*tches.”
As soon as he apologizes and accepts my apology, he cheerfully leads the conversation as if he had never done that.
This is… Is it cheap? Even if he had accepted an apology, he would have been in a position with a difference in rank, but this level of friendliness.
Come to think of it, it felt like the number of academy students that this woman brought earlier had also been called because of her close friendship.
Considering that the number of people gathered in a hurry, there must be more people who can actually be mobilized.
An academy freshman who will be having the entrance ceremony tomorrow, and a commoner who probably wouldn’t have had a chance to make friends with other students, but to think he’s already built up that level of friendship with other students.
This woman, what the hell.
“Well, as soon as we met, they said something like the color of the name tag, that you, a commoner, are different from us. Oh, I haven’t washed this yet.”
She strokes her hair as if she remembered something she had forgotten.
Earlier, Red and Blue said that she had abandoned her friend and ran away, but that was not the case at all.
Of course, depending on the person, it may seem strange that she suddenly left the place, but even though she is a female student who values her appearance, she forgot her condition and rushed to help her friends.
And even shouting at me for Dia.
She still doesn’t think she’s washing her hair, that means she thinks a lot about Dia.
She might be a good friend to Dia.
With that in mind, she turned to Dia.
As Dia watched my face, her eyes met.
Then Dia blushed and bowed her head.
What is it, I was fine when I was talking to Yellow earlier.
Why did she suddenly become shy?
Ah, did you develop something like androphobia?
Then it’s difficult. It’s making it difficult for me to be with Dia.
“Oh, yes! Come to think of it, I heard that Young master gave true education for the two years ago?”
“Just call me Luke. All students are equal at the academy. And what is true education? I was just thinking of stopping the magic, but Juda, she stopped it and took the two girls with me. Since they said they were going to get rid of sorority and even educate them, I guess they’re having a bad time right now.”
Juda That woman.
She is a very scary woman.
Red and Blue are about now… Hmm. Something I don’t even want to imagine
“Okay, Luke. Still, because Luke was there, she came out. Wouldn’t she have stepped forward if there were only commoners?”
Uh…. Even though I asked him to call him Luke and said that all academy students are equal, it just came out rude.
No, what is a real persona?
“That’s why Luke, who stepped up for Dia, a commoner he doesn’t even know very well, is amazing. Isn’t that right, Dia?”
“…… Yes.”
“No, why did he do this all of a sudden? …… Huh? Aha?”
A yellow guy suddenly smiles meaningfully.
“Luke. But why did you try to save Dia? Of course, the situation that aristocratic women were so intimidated by was bloody, but was it enough to make her decide to step in? Or maybe… Are you interested in Dia?”
Why did you come out?
That’s right…….
Um….
Certainly, if it was Dia from [Deus Ex Machina] That I knew, I wouldn’t have stepped forward.
But when she saw Dia being bullied by strange things she hadn’t heard or seen…….
What should I say?
“… I guess you could say she just couldn’t see it.”
“Ahahahahaha? Is it the story that she couldn’t possibly see? Our Dia?”
“What is it?”
She’s not a woman to be with, Dia.
“That’s right Diaya! Wow! I wish so much!”
Suddenly, Dia heard a sound like something exploding.
What is that cartoon sound?
Dia turned completely red and fainted.
Dia… Is it a real male phobia?
Fainting is pretty bad.
I shouldn’t be like this.
* * *
“Wow. Anyway, see you at the entrance ceremony tomorrow!”
It was getting dark and Dia was not feeling well, so we got up.
The yellow guy supports the staggering Dia.
“You really don’t have to help?”
“A. That’s fine. And the support of a noble person is burdensome. Oh, Dia would have liked that better? Kick kick. Ahh. Hey! Don’t hit me! Anyway, see you tomorrow! Bye!”
That’s how I broke up with Yellowy and Dia.
…… Anyway, I think she’s forgetting something.
Ah! Hidden Peace. After meeting Dia, I completely forgot about it.
I was going to eat one today.
Tsk. I can’t help it.
There are many opportunities to attend the academy in the future.
Rather, it’s better to make friends with Yellow and Dia.
I look forward to it.
Entrance ceremony tomorrow.
