I am the Newly Born Woman of Around Thirty Volume 2 Chapter 17

Sunny and windless day. Optimal conditions for a magical match.
If there is rain or wind, the game will not be fair.

Though it is said that luck is still within the match conditions, those who specialize in the fire system will of course be disadvantaged in the rain, while those who are good at the water system will be advantageous.

As a result, all partic.i.p.ant's are allowed a postponement of the match due to the weather, but since Ricardo is almighty, he is not affected by the weather, and the weather is irrelevant to Laurel that is good at flower magic.

However both of them can fight under the same conditions as there is no breeze in the blue sky today.
Laurel-chan and Ricardo-sama’s magical match will be resolved on schedule.

Watching matches is not an obligation, but practically all the students are gathered.
Magical match is a kind of entertainment and this time it is a curious partners.h.i.+p.

I tried to pa.s.s alongside the cla.s.smates who hopped to the private area as the cla.s.ses were over, but was interrupted by the campus broadcast.

My name is announced. It seems that baggage arrived from my parents house. I felt embarra.s.sed.
In Luxen academy where security is strict, checks are also made on delivered items.

Of course privacy is taken into consideration, they only scan for danger with magic tool.
It’s something like airport baggage inspection, and in some cases it’s required to open them.

As a matter of fact, I don’t receive it today because I choose to.
Since there was only a large amount of food, the check concluded quickly.

I was met with lukewarm eyes of a person in charge of investigation as if he was telling me [You eat really well].
No, it’s a misunderstanding. Exiting the room while muttering in a small voice as [it is for the monster of the forest].

It’s considerably faster to go to the cla.s.sroom than to return to my room.
Leaving the food on my desk and at full speed I run towards the schoolyard.

There are no signs of people in the school building, only my footsteps are echoing.
It seems that everyone already at the building where all the matches are held. I also have to hurry.

Fortunately, they don't start the match earlier.
It’s a match between those with strong magical power, so it’s necessary to establish a special barrier.

So that In the upcoming event other students would not get injured, or school buildings are not destroyed.
And those who perform magical matches also need time to prepare.

Magical match is something that should be done justly, so there are rules about equipment as well.
The use of magic tools is restricted.
Uniform of Luxen academy is composed of material that has an effect to prevent magic attack. It’s necessary to switch clothes.
Originally, Laurel’s battle clothes were arranged to be supplied by Eugene-sama.

“Please leave it to me! I will prepare a battle-style clothing that will make Ricardo into a battle-impossible mode,” Eugene gathered enough clothes that shop could be opened, how about this? Appealing them cheerfully.
Eugene, let Laurel have a fas.h.i.+on show for hours.

It was a wide choice from a s.e.xy line that seems to be carried by [b.u.t.terfly of the night] to an anime-like costumes.
Even though there are many rare pieces that merely look like a two-dimensional model, Laurel was arranged perfectly.

But Levin dismissed all the clothes Eugene chose.
Eugene’s clothes were specialized in cute or erotic way and were not suitable for battle.

“I will prepare clothes that are suitable for battle against Ricardo, You should put emphasis on mobility.”

Levin’s clothes are rich in mobility and easy to move with. Although it has rubber on the ankles, it looked like work clothes. The opposite of what Eugene chose.

“This clothes have a different meaning of losing one’s fighting spirit, I guess you are a man who doesn’t understand romance at all,”

Those two talk followed a parallel line, and it was decided that Laurel would bring her clothes.

“…… How … Forte-sama ……”

“Giggles, hey … … Because that person is being hated … … ”

“…As ……usual …”

Running while scooping out the details of manga from my memory I heard a whispering voice from a vacant cla.s.sroom that I pa.s.sed by.

I thought that everyone was interested in the magical match and was on the place, but there seems to be a students remaining.
It’s a free time, so it’s not unusual to have students in places.

However, I heard multiple voices from there.

Girls that talking about villain Forte Margherita. They whisper around Forte's name, but there is no friends.h.i.+p instead selfish and dirty words.

Even though they talked quietly, I know that it’s an upside relations.h.i.+p, and Forte herself didn't want to be involved.

While asking myself what are they doing in this place, I attach an ear to the door. My face gradually strengthens on a whispering voice that is darting and smooth.

I could not catch everything because they were hiding their voices, however I was able to grasp the outline of the story.

These girls seemed to have hara.s.sed and punished the students they didn’t like and forced the blame on Forte.
And now they are negotiating to make their next target Laurel-chan.

“Well this time,”

“Yes, this time as always we will make it look as if Forte has done it,”

“That’s what that person is likely to do, giggle,”,

The things that I discovered, to escape the blame they would make it look as if everything was on Forte's authority.
I can’t stand quietly with that malicious laughter, opening the door while raising a cheerful voice.

The three of them had a big round eyes and hardened before me who suddenly appeared with the noise of the door.

“I heard you, all of your evil schemes,”

In fact, less than 30%, but here it’s a bluff.
Folding the arms, what will those three do? More precisely what will they do while looking at each other mutually.

“What? Eavesdropping?”

“Truly a middle-cla.s.s aristocrat, Badly educated.”

“So? What were we discussing?”

Speaking of an aristocracy, their parents’ house is above.
Because of that, they seemed to choose to deny.

There is no proof for certain, I can't play dumb anymore, however I can't afford to step back.

“What did you do …… Hey, let’s talk, because Forte seems to have something to do with it, so let’s also call Forte.”

“… … …”

“You are also friends of the Forte, having secrets from her is really awkward, right~?”

To be frank, I don't want to let Forte hear it. She would be really hurt.
Forte seems to realize that these three actually don't like her, but she can't think that they carry malicious intent.

I don’t want to tell about it and hurt Forte.
That’s why I cannot abide the way how conveniently Forte is used.

At a glance, I can see that I'm at a disadvantage.

“Because we going to see the magical game,”

“Don’t say strange things to Forte because of your misunderstanding,”

“It’s scary to turn us into enemies,”

Daring speech. Then, they left the cla.s.sroom with a clatter.
Looking at the backs of the three, I snored.

They are disgusting guys. Bullying the child you don’t like in the shade, pus.h.i.+ng sins on Forte when it seems to be their work.
If Forte becomes the main criminal, she will be not in question because of her high standing.

Everyone is equal, but in front of high position, the power of your parents often affects the students’ hierarchy.

“By the way … …those Three people, what were they going to do here?”

From the conversation of the three I overheard, there was no doubt that they were going to do something bad, but I could not understand the objective.
I looked around the cla.s.sroom with my eyes and noticed a bucket full of water.

I wonder if those three people brought it? Because it’s dangerous to leave it here, I leave the cla.s.sroom with a bucket.
[Ah, heavy, why do I have to carry a bucket] while complaining I move the bucket.

How long is it until the magical match?
As Laurel gets into trouble, I recall the story while confirming the clock, it should be fine as it’s a little behind the expected start time.

Well, I thought that I could go, but my foot stopped briskly.
Laurel prepared herself the clothes for the match.

However, due to some hara.s.sment, she was drenchd with a lot of water from above and fall into the s.e.xy attire of Eugene  choice.
Ricardo-sama is starting to grasp special feelings to Laurel without realizing it.
If a girl you care comes up with high-exposure clothes, it is a boy who will be upset.

Ricardo-sama fits in the speculation of Eugene and lacks concentration ability.
Laurel's magical match, is gracefully erotic.

Ricardo with an uncomfortable feeling of exposing such a figure of Laurel in front of all the students, trying to settle early, but Laurel who raised the level of anger does not allow it.

The enthusiasm of the people who watched the match went up and the state of winning was greeted in the big glee … …

The feet stopped and the line of sight fell to the bucket that I was carrying.

Those who are in magical match are bound to submit a pledge to the school lead, but the previous vacant cla.s.sroom was located directly above the street leading to the school building from the school’s cla.s.s.
It’s a perfect place to splash water on Laurel.

“Maybe those people were trying … … to pour water on Laurel … …?”

I was caught in a grand scale with the fact.
What is this bucket? I don’t know. I don’t know anything, I want to decline it.
