Princess In Another World: New Story
3
A few days passed.
Afternoon
In my little shack.
“Haaa, Iona how?”
“Huh? What?”
“About the attack you did a few days ago.”
“Ahh, it was indeed the work of the bandits. Looks like they used a magic tool to perform such high-level magic.”
“Magic tools?”
“I heard it was sold freely in the kingdom of Trues.”
“Sold free.”
“Despite that, it is very expensive and can only be used 1 time only after it can not be used again.”
“B-so. I think magic is taboo.”
“It is true, but in some kingdoms, magic is much talked about, research on magic is done even though it is hidden.”
“So, they want to awaken magic again, yes.”
“What is bad?”
“If only limited to an item 1 time use, it does not matter. Even so, I can't say it doesn't matter either because there might be a weapon made to destroy somewhere or something else terrible made from that item.”
“It was terrible.”
“If the person who has magic is only limited to the royal family, I think such a thing is very unlikely to happen.”
“So.”
“Despite that, I can't guarantee it. As long as there is a kingdom that thinks to be able to expand its power, I think such a thing can happen.”
“It's scary.”
“Haa, forget about it. Actually that's not what I want to ask.”
“Then, what do you want to ask?”
“You told me you were in a magic research group at the academy.”
“Yes, I'm coming. Then, is there a problem?”
“About your research, what is your group discussing?”
“Eh, i-it..”.
“It looks like your group hasn't discussed anything yet. Am I right?”
“T-not so, there are some small things we do. Despite that, everyone in the group, they were all struggling with all their might to make a change. Although it is very difficult, I am sure someday we can do it.”
“Haa, good good. I-i understand. Looks like I'm quite interested in that magic research group.”
“Eh? Really?”
“Yes, when I have entered the academy you can take me to your group place, I want to look around.”
“By pleasure, if you join definitely something that has been wanted to achieve will not be a difficult thing.”
“Hey, I said I'll just see.”
“But, I'm sure you'll join.” later too
“If it can catch my attention.”
“I guarantee it, I'm sure you will definitely like it.”
“Yes yes, I look forward to it. Already, quickly work on the unfinished file.”
“Eeehh..”
Nightfall.
“Haa, finally done too.”
“It's been quite a night, you'd better come back soon.”
“I'm tired, I want to stay here for tonight.”
“Hey, later people in the kingdom look for you.”
“Look, I've left a letter in the room. I'm sure they won't be looking for me.”
“It looks like you've planned it.”
“I-this is just a coincidence, yes this is just a coincidence. I was planning to finish this job at the headquarters and stay there, but I'm working on it here instead. B-so.”
“You can't lie to me with such dubious words. If you want to lie, try to do better.”
“M-sorry.”
“Haa, stop. Quick sleep.”
“How about you? Don't tell me you want to go to Dravin.”
“Why are you worried about it, have fast sleep.”
“B-good.” Iona's getting on the bed. “You won't go’.”
“Indeed where else do I have a place to go in this world.”
“So, true too. Ari, good night.”
“Ya, good night.”
Iona fell asleep and I looked towards the documents she was working on. “I-this... Haa, basic.” Even though he said he finished it, he did nothing. “What exactly was done by you started earlier.” Since this was part of my task as well, I decided to finish it.
In the morning, the dawn has not yet risen.
“Haa, finally done.” I finished everything and stayed up all night. “I'm sleepy, the entrance time to the academy is tomorrow. I want to sleep now.” My intentions were like that, but Iona was still fast asleep on the train.
I looked up at the ceiling. “Haa, now I live in this world, yes.” I slowly got up and went outside.
Out.
“Haa, cold.” The sun that has not yet risen, the cold that still feels makes my body shiver a little. I slowly walked towards the beach which was a bit away from the hut I was in.
Long enough after that.
Slowly the sun began to rise. “Haa, it's soothing.” The cold Eve began to be replaced by the warm morning sunlight that began to shine brightly. I slowly began to lay my body on the sand. “At least, I want to sleep for a while.” I slowly started to close my eyes, and fell asleep in my sleep. ‘Ah, I seem to have forgotten something. Never mind.’
Meanwhile.
“Hoaamm... Ari, congratulations.... Ari? Whereabouts? Ari, where are you!!” Panicked Iona immediately went to look for Ari who disappeared.
The sun has risen, and Iona follows Ari to the beach. “I-it's him!” Seeing Ari who was lying on the sand, he immediately approached her. “Ari, why did you.. She, fell asleep.” For the first time, Iona sees Ari's slumbering face. “You must have worked on that document until you hadn't slept all night. Sorry.” Even so, Iona still stared at Ari's face who was sleeping soundly.
A few hours after that.
I slowly opened my eyes as the heat began to sting. “Haa, it's noon, yes. It looks like it's almost 11. If only there were clocks in this world.” I felt quite refreshed from having slept, even though sleeping less than 8 hours was unhealthy. “Haa, stop.” Just as I stood up. “Haa, why he can be here.” Iona fell asleep beside me. “Too much sleep will give you a headache. Iona, quickly wake up.”
“5 minutes more.”
“Hey, quickly wake up. You've skipped the academy today, how long will you skip and sleep like this.”
“Today I have permission not to enter the academy because there is work to be completed immediately.”
“Work? After I know the job of being a princess and also the commander is not that much until the permission does not enter. You're making a false excuse again, yeah. Haa, this is how many times have you done this.”
“Haa, warm.”
“Hey, don't switch the talk and again, it's not warm but hot. Been up quickly, your skin will burn because of too much sun exposure.”
“Both-good.”
“Looks like I have to go soon.”
“Huh? Ari, what's up?”
“The team leaders are looking for you.” I saw it, the squad leaders came here and it was definitely because they were looking for Iona. “You lied about leaving the letter, yes.”
“No, I'm serious. I left a letter. But, I don't know why they're still looking for me.”
“Hmm, looks like your letter was not found by the waiter who always comes to your room every morning. Therefore they are looking for you.”
“Maybe.”
“Good.”
We parted, I walked away and Iona approached the squad leaders. “Looks like I should find a place to rest another.”
Meanwhile.
“Commander, you are fine.” (Grild)
“Y-yes. I'm okay.”
“Commander, what are you doing here?” (Fame)
“Searching for tranquility, I fell asleep in the hut that was there last night working on the document.”
“Commander, if you want to get out, at least bring some team to take care of you.” (Laren)
“Laren, no need to bother.”
“It is not troublesome, if you are in danger it will be very dangerous if until you are not accompanied by a guard or soldier who escorts you.”
“If it is like that I can't do anything calmly. Relax all of you, after all there is Dravin who can help me if there is a problem.”
“Dravin, you mean the dragon.” (Fame)
“But, the distance is very far how can the dragon help you if you are in trouble?” (Laren)
“Quiet, the dragon is more powerful than what you guys thought.”
“We have never doubted the greatness of dragons, just that.”.
“Only?”
“At least the commander should be with one or two royal guards or from our troops.”
“Haa, well will I consider.”
“Thanks.”
“I'll take my documents first, you guys can go first. I'll catch up soon, and have the troops assigned to look for me back soon.”
“Good.”
They're 4-footed away. “Haa, looks like I can't be free anymore.”
Meanwhile.
“Hoaam, here is very convenient. The shade of trees that block the sun directly and also coupled with the wind from the beach, this makes me sleepy.” Slowly I started to close my eyes. “At least, this place is a comfortable place to rest.”
Afternoon.
“Hoaam I woke up and it was late afternoon. “It looks like my sleep is too deep. Hmm, how is Iona doing now, yes.” He was taken in by the commanders, and he must be in trouble right now. “Already.”
I got up and went back to my hut.
A while after that.
“Haa, I was expecting it to be like this.” The hut I live in is guarded by soldiers. “It looks like the squad leaders want to improve security where Iona is.” At least that's what I can conclude now.
“It's getting dark soon, and I'm sure the soldier will definitely stay there. They're going to do a guard rotation and that means I won't be able to go back there for a while. Haa, I hope it's only a while.”
Tomorrow.
I stayed at the Dravin forging and afterwards returned to the hut wishing the soldiers had left, but. “They were still on guard. Never mind, today is my first day at the academy. At least I can't be late.” With the clothes I am wearing now, I am heading towards the academy.
Thereafter.
The academy.
“Haa, at least this suits me, maybe.” I used the uniform I got from one of the supervisors.
“Ari. You came.”
“This is my first day, there's no way I didn't come.”
“True too. By the way the uniform suits you.”
“Yes, at least this is not so bad.”
“Eh?”
“Huh? What's up?”
“T-no.‘ini not like what they say.’ (mumbling)”
“I'll go to my class first.”
“Let me drop you off.”
“Ya, alright.” I don't know where my class is anyway.
A few minutes later.
“We're here.”
“So, thanks for driving me.”
“No problem.”
I went into class, and Iona followed me. “Ehh, your class is here too.”
“Ya.”
“Haa, it turns out like that.” I slowly looked towards the classroom. “Where are the other students?” There's no one here.
“Ahh, they are elsewhere, are doing a new student welcome event.”
“Why are you telling me that now.”
“You didn't ask.”
“Haa, stop. Iona, let's go.”
“Good.”
In one of the buildings.
Welcoming new students with the best grades. Yes, this is the event that was held today just as my first day began. Iona and I were sitting in the student seat at the very back of being late. “This is weird, Ari, your name is not mentioned.”
“Notice it.”
“Ehh, where can it be like that. You get the most perfect score, and you're not called, isn't that weird.”
“Notice it.”
“But..”.
“Notice it.”
“Good. But, may I know why?”
“Not attracting attention is a good thing, and again the nobleman I almost hit was also on top. If you know if I have a high value, even higher than him. I'm sure he'll file a protest because ‘rakyat’ like me doesn't deserve that. Like that.”
“Ehh, it's very strange.”
“Have it, just ignore it. The nature of a person who has power higher than others is indeed like that, even so not everything is like that. At least that's what you should remember.”
“What is important?”
“It depends on you.”
“So.” We are refocusing ourselves on the events being held now.
After the show is over.
“Haa, this takes quite a long time.” The welcoming ceremony was over and all the students returned to the classroom.
“Ari, you go first class. I have a little business.”
“Ya.”
A few minutes after that, I had arrived at the class and things were different as before. ‘Many too.’ There are a lot of students here, at least that's normal. ‘Eh? He...’ I saw a familiar face to me. ‘Lucy.’
Lucy Groem, a prince who likes Iona I can say that. Even so, his love clapped one hand. ‘Haa, it looks like me and him will be classmates.’
Moments later the bell rang and all the students including me sat in a chair (which was random). ‘Iona where?’ When Iona's ringing bell still hasn't come back, it worries me a little. Just when I wanted to go find Iona.
“That's him.” Iona walks into class, but she wears a different uniform than before.
He stood in front. “Halo everyone, introduce my name Iona L. Thorwns. I am your homeroom teacher.”
“Eh?”
