New School Life
With the coming of spring, we moved up to the second grade.
In addition to regular classes, I take Strea-san's classes three times a week, train my stealth skills with Silk, and occasionally work as a blacksmith, apothecary, alchemist, and adventurer, and occasionally train with Rain and Shamu. Until today, I have lived a fulfilling life.
After the vacation, I was worried about Fran, but we've been interacting normally since then, but since the beginning of the year, I've noticed that Fran has been strangely distant towards me.
It's not like I'm being treated coldly or disrespected, but...
She doesn't have the same familiarity as when we were on that vacation? No, am I too conscious of Fran? I feel strangely hazy...
At that time, I received a disturbing warning from the succubus.
"Light-sama, it appears that the church has begun an investigation into Light-sama's personal circumstances."
The person who reported to me was a succubus named Raffi, but she is a powerful person who has infiltrated the church as a nun. And she was the first to discover me when I came to this royal capital.
"Is that true? I wonder where my information leaked from..."
"Yes. It seems that the Saint has taken an interest in Light-sama."
That [Saint]...
I honestly saw her as nothing more than Ains' doll. After all, she...
No, I'd better forget it if I'm going to change my perception. I'll pay close enough attention to this one.
Our lives changed when we moved to second grade.
It is that the underclassmen have become attached to us. It seems like our existence was recognized even before we entered the school, and many people approached us as soon as we entered the school.
Also, when Rain and I go to regular classes, we often help the teachers and give instructions to other students, so even more people gather...
At first, I was quite happy to have new juniors, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of distrust towards these juniors.
First of all, even though I am a commoner, there are many sons and daughters of nobles, and of course, there are also ordinary children from commoners mixed in.
However, the fact that there are no demi-human juniors here makes me distrustful.
It seems that the demi-human children who try to get close to me are being excluded by them.
I had no choice but to use [God's Eye] on these juniors to find out their intentions, but it was a bingo. But just because it's true doesn't mean I will beat them, so I have no choice but to hang out with them for a while.
After alerting Rain, I decided to pay attention to the demi-human children who were excluded as a slight resistance, and decided to investigate the situation around them.
Fran's situation was similar to ours.
She is also currently surrounded by juniors. She seemed to be aware of what was going on, and like us, she seemed to be unable to ignore them and had no choice but to take care of them.
In her case, unlike us, she is a noble, so she cannot afford to make mistakes in how she responds to others due to her ties and aristocratic relationships, so she probably has to worry more than us.
Thinking like that makes me worried about her...
Due to the current situation, we have fewer opportunities to interact with Fran. In the past, we used to share lunch and walk home from school together, but that has become rarer.
Rain also joins Fran in the Noble class, but they seem to have become distant from each other due to the crowds of people.
We were going to spend this new school year in an indescribable mood.
Tftc.
