Seirei Tsukai to Shinjuu Tsukai no Shounen Volume 2 Chapter 6

Grand Magic Academy. Guest Dormitory.

That is the place that 100 students from Element Academy borrowed until tomorrow's match.
Inside that dormitory, 2 women and 1 man was having a discussion inside the room.

One is Alca Roland. Akito's childhood friend and user of lightning spirit. She is a small girl with distinctive feature of having a brown twintail.

"So? Why did you come and Aki-kun doesn't?"

She called out the man who sat near there… Raios.
Raios who was called let out a weak smile "Ahahahaha…".

"I did asked him though… the person in question doesn't want to come"'

He said that honestly. Besides Alca is in a state where she is unable to hide her irritation, electric shocks overflow from the tip of her hair. After that a small whisper "Even though I applied because I thought Aki-kun would come…"
can even be heard properly by the 2 people.

"Well, Alca-chan. It can't be helped that Hiiragi-kun is unable come. After all, he is rank E."

Then, a girl with light blue hair, Asha Anlayhaim told Alca trying to calm her down. Like Alca, she also put the sugar in the black tea and and then stirred it slowly,

"I think it's almost impossible to secure boarding tickets that are only provided for 100 people in this academy"

Saying that and put the cup to her mouth. Looking at that, Alca puffed up her cheek,

"In the first place… why is Aki-kun still rank E?" If he use that flame spirit, he will be rank A in the blink of an eye… no, he will be above that!"

Raios listened while agreeing saying "certainly…" to the excuse Alca angrily gave. Then I open my mouth in order to tell my own opinion.

"Certainly, why did Akito hide anything that spirit from us? Is it because we aren't trustworthy?"
"Gusuu…"
"Ah! It's just a possibility! Don't cry!?"

Raios panicked as Alca suddenly started showing tears. Regarding her childhood friend, being trusted by Akito holds a very important meaning.
Asha stared at the situation of those 2 people,

"It's still good for you guys, as for me, I have never spoken to him at all since that "

And quietly said that. For her, she wanted to do something to show her grat.i.tude to Akito who is her life savior, but she was flatly refused, so she is somehow worried about it.

—The reason I can't return this favor is not because I have solved the student's dispute poorly.

Recently, it has been a daily routine for her to let out a sigh while thinking something like that.

"But well. I think it's good that I can get it. There are quite a lof of C-ranked spirit users, right?"'

Raios crossed his arm while saying something like that. Looking at that, Asha let out a breath "Fuu…"

"No. it's true that the biggest number is rank C, however to be able to get on it is not something strange. It seems that even within the seniors there are not few who goes with rank B"
"When I heard that, Anlayhaim-san is really amazing"

Raios let out such voice to the words Asha said. He admired Asha who is rank A overcoming the seniors like that.
Looking at Raios' state like that, Asha decided to ask the things she worried about.

"…Hey. isn't hard to call that? It's okay to call me Asha, you know? In exchange I will call you, Raios-kun as well"
"Hm? Is it okay? Even though Akito also call you Anlayhaim-san"

When Raios said that, Asha make a slightly gloomy face. Then, making a gloomy expression,

"…Of course, I had mentioned it as well, you know? But… He won't call me Asha at all…."
"…I see. So that's why even here, you keep calling him Hiiragi-kun"

Being told quietly by Raios, Asha realized that she is irritated as she is unable to maintain her friends.h.i.+p well. Eh? Why do I want become friend with that person like this? Asha tilted her head.
There is a girl who looked at her with moist eyes. It's Alca.

"Hey. Akito is mine. Would you not meddle?"

Alca said it while glaring at Asha. She has always been cautious of Asha since the end of that fight.

"Oh? Just because Hiiragi-kun is your childhood friend, it doesn't mean that he is yours. That said, I don't plan to meddle, you know?"

Looking at her state, Asha throws out her chest a bit. Because of that, Alca's eyes become teary as it emphasises the 2 big mountains that obviously bigger than her.

"It, it's a big mistake to think that you can catch Aki-kun with something like that!"
"Eh? What is it?"

Asha becomes speechless in the manner that can be said as she didn't understand the reason why Alca shouted in panic. Raios smiled wryly, and after he stretched his nose and directed his line of sight to Asha's chest for a bit.

"We, well. Let time solves that. Anlayha— Asha's friends.h.i.+p, Alca's chest too… maybe.. Mhm"
"What's with the last!?"

When Raios quietly said with with pitiful eyes towards Alca, she hide her chest with her hands and shouted with teary eyes.
Meanwhile, Asha let out the thing she thought a bit.

"But.. although it can be said that you can ride it because you're rank C, with only people from rank B or above, it should be more than 100 people.. Despite all of the men in rank B or above aren't coming at all, I just become a bit worried."

When Asha quietly said so, the other two also let out "Now that you said it…".

"Even if it can't be helped since a lot of rank A students are out of school to accept the personal request, as expected I'm worried as B-ranked people who came are only girls."

As she said it, only the promising A-ranked spirit users who will be allowed to take personal requests according to the school's regulation.
About the high ranked spirit users, there are many people around that think that they are pure hearted human, that was a common sense that was said by the people so it didn’t cause strange feelings.

"No, It's not only those guys in rank B. Most of the guys are not coming. Even in this magic wars.h.i.+p, that's kind of a mystery"

Raios also said something that bothered him a bit from Asha's words. Then Alca drank her tea,

"No, it's simply because our princess is famous among girls, so the atmosphere that asking the boys to stay out is strong"

Alca snorted in a way saying "you are just thinking too much" to the two of them.

"But I… To be honest, I have something I'm worried about"

Even when looking at Alca like that, Asha made a gloomy face.

"What is it? You’re not calm"

Looking at Asha having such expression, it seems that Alca also became a bit worried. Because she wanted to ask the details, she turned toward Asha.
Then asha too, turned towards her.

"No… Actually, recently Dramon's faction is making a strange movement…"
"Eeh… Tha, That! What do you mean!?"

She muttered it in a whisper. As expected, Alca also became worried because of her words.

"No. Since it's about Hiiragi-kun—-"

When Asha said it till that point, the door of the room were opened with a "Bang". Then, looking at the girl who is standing there, the 3 of them gather together.

"Just now… I heard about Hiiragi?"

That's right, the one who is standing there is the first princess of Grandneal, Sylvia Lancaster.

"Oh my. The girl with light blue hair over there, I finally found you. So you are in a place like this"

Ignoring the 3 of them, Sylvia has a fearless smile. Although that smile is beautiful, it somehow emitted a suspicious atmosphere.

"Wha… Hi, Hime-sama!?"

Within the 3 people who had gathered, only Asha, who was called, realized it first and said something like that. When they realized, even from the locker the students are looking at what happened.

"Oh my. I thought that you would be really surprised. As expected from someone who had fought the military spirit. You are pretty good at judging the situation"

Closing the door simply because it's noisy, the princess smiles. Looking at that, the remaining two people come to their senses, and

""Ehhh!!!! Why are you here!?""

They shouted. Then Sylvia slowly looked at the 3 of them,

"I said it when I came in, right? It's because I heard the name 'Hiiragi'…"

She said it while winking. Hearing that, Asha said like she is surprised.

"Your… your hearing is great. You can hear indoor sound well…."
"Ah. that's because I use this"

Sylvia who heard that, removed a small machine from her ears and showed it to the 3 of them.

"This is a magic device that is called sound collector. When you input a word, I will know where the place it came from is. I put the words 'Hiiragi Akito' in, so that's why I came for a while to gather informations"

She said and smiled. To that, the 3 of them made a face saying "Eh?"—-

"Wha, Why it is about Akito…."

Alca asked as if becoming their representative. Then the princess

"As I thought, it seems that I'm not mistaken that you guys are his friends. I want to ask various things especially to your male friend, and the girl with light blue hair over there"

After saying that, she quietly closed her eyes, then after thinking as if sorting out something,

"Hey, tell me? Hiiragi Akito… What kind of person is he?"

Had her face beaming with smile.
