S-RANK IN ANOTHER WORLD 42 Talking To Lily

When I woke up the next day, I went down for coffee while I waited for Lily to get up, as I woke up earlier than usual. After a while Lily came down the stairs of the inn and appeared in the hall.

After she saw me, I waved to her, and she came and sat with me.

"Hey, Deby" (Lily)

Lily called Daby and ordered something for coffee, since she is probably very hungry because she just woke up.

After we finished breakfast, we left the inn and walked to the school.

Halfway through, I saw many guards gathered in the street, more than usual.

'Did something happen?'

I don't know if anything serious had happened, but I've never seen so many guards since I entered the capital.

After Lily and I walked for a while, we arrived at the school door. When I got there, Mary was waiting for me at the door.

'She finally stopped avoiding me?'

I think she finally stopped avoiding me and really became my friend?

"Good morning Endl" (Mary)

As I was nearing the entrance, Mary came to my side and greeted me. I returned the greeting of course.

"Good morning to you too Lily" (Mary)

"Good morning Mary" (Lily)

Apparently Mary and Lily had talked before, I had never seen them together, so I never knew about that. After we greeted each other, Mary started walking beside us and we went to the living room together.

The cla.s.s as always was very boring. Always the things I already knew were taught, so I always got bored in the middle of cla.s.s.

"Next week, your first practice cla.s.s will take place. You must choose someone you want to face during practice, you and the other person will have a mock match" (Yeth)

'I heard something interesting'

Next week will have a mock match and I have to pick someone to fight.

The moment I thought that, I looked straight at Mary, and she looked at me too. The moment I saw that she was looking at me, I gave her a smile, and she turned her face to avoid my gaze.

'I already know who I will choose'

After we left school, we said goodbye to Mary and went to the inn, apparently Mary was also in an inn but it was a hostel on the opposite side of the school.

After we arrived at the inn and went to dinner, I started talking to Lily about the school tournament.

"Lily, do you know about the school tournament?" (Endl)

"Yes, I know" (Lily)

Wait, so it was just me who didn't know about him?

No one told me, didn't Lily tell me why she thought I already knew?

"Do you already have a pair to fight with you in the Lily tournament?" (Endl)

"Yes, Flora called me to pair up at the tournament, and I accepted" (Lily)

"So this is it" (Endl)

'Why am I so happy?'

I think I already know, I wanted to partner with Mary, I didn't know why, but I certainly wanted to partner with her.

"And you Endl?" (Lily)

"Well, Mary invited me to be your pair" (Endl)

"What's up?" (Lily)

"Well, I said I would think, I have to give the answer by 3 days, but I think I already know the answer" (Endl)

"hmmm" (Lily)

Lily just gave me a smile, she must be thinking of something malicious.

"What's it?" (Endl)

I decided to ask why that smile she was doing, but she just said it was nothing. Of course I knew I had something on my mind, but I decided to ignore it.

While we were eating, Dad arrived at the inn and ate with us again.

After dad finished eating, and talking with us, he left for the castle as usual. Apparently he had a castle-side guard post where father currently lives.

I kept thinking about the tournament, I don't think I need to wait the 3 days to give the right answer? I already thought about it and decided to partner with her.

'But not too early?'

We are still at the beginning of the school year, and the tournament is only at the end of the year. Well, I think we need to train quite right?

So the faster I give the answer the better.

After we showered, we went to sleep.

'I'll give Mary the answer tomorrow'
