Princess In Another World: New Story
4
After that, the clock came home.
“Ari, wait.”
“Haa, yes. Iona Round.” Round, a special call to the homeroom. I just found out from another classmate.
“H-Stop that, it's a shame.”
“You have no problem coming home with students.”
“No problem.”
“Really?”
“Ya.”
“A Round goes home with students, it could be a good scandal.”
“Huh?”
“No, forget it.”
“Then, how?”
“What?”
“Are you surprised?”
“Slight.”
“Hee, really?”
“At least I realized a little awkwardness earlier. Therefore I am not so surprised.”
“Congratulations?”
“Do I have to explain it?”
“If you can.”
“Haa, you've been a student of that academy for a few years. Then you said that your class was in my classroom, which included classes for new students.”
“Hmm, so.”
“Then, I also saw Lucy in class. Is he also a teacher?”
“No, she's a new student. Previously he took care of the territory he had for several years, but out of boredom he entered this academy. At least that's the reason.”
“Once, yes.”
“What's up? Don't you like it?”
“There is no reason for me not to like that.”
“Oh yes, by the way that class is the best class lo.”
“Yes, I already know.”
“Eh? Really?”
“There is Lucy who is a genius prince, and your existence as a Round in that class. You are already a princess who is a genius if you only teach ordinary classes, your abilities will not be useful.”
“Ari, you're great. But, genius, yes. It seems like it's quite overrated for me.”
“Yes, that's overrated. You're nothing more than a student getting coercion from your Round to be the homeroom teacher in class as your first step. Am I right?”
“Y-ya.”
“Haa, you didn't reject it?”
“I want to reject it, but after hearing if the class is your class I accepted it.”
“Haa, you want to intend to boast to me.”
“T-no, not so.”
“Already, I am looking forward to your lesson Round Iona. Hahaha.”.
“A-what are you laughing at!!”
“Forget.”
Afternoon at the beach near the hut.
“Ari, they're gone.”
“So.” The soldiers kept the hut, until I told Iona to make them leave. “I'm sure they'll be back here again.”
“No, I've told them not to need to keep this place anymore.”
“What guarantee do you have?”
“I am their commander, they must obey what I say.”
“Iya yes.” I don't know if I should respond, especially.
Nightfall.
“Ari, are you inside?”
“Iona, yes. What's up?” Iona's in.
“Can help me finish this file.”
“File? Isn't the file I'm working on the last file this month?”
“This file from academy.”
“Academy, yes. You can solve it yourself, I want to sleep.”
“Eh!! Come help me.”
“Haa, I don't understand such a thing.”
“It's so easy, I'm sure you can.”
“If it's easy, you shouldn't need my help.”
“Ehh... Ari, please help me. I beg you.. If not, I'll stay here.”
“Haa, fine.” I helped him.
Midnight.
“Haa, finally done too.” I've finished my part. “Iona, how about... Haa, I was expecting it to be like this.” She's asleep.
I laid her on the bed. “You always trouble me.” I went back and worked on the part of Iona he hadn't finished yet.
Tomorrow.
“Ari, wake. Ari..”
“5 minutes more.”
“Come fast, we're almost late.”
When I opened my eyes, the sun was up. “After morning, yes.”
“You stay up again, yes.”
“Who made me do it.”
“Ahahaha.. Already, let's hurry you get ready. You'll be late.”
“Ya, good good.”
After that, in class.
Seating was chosen, I was in the front. ‘Haa, if I can I want to be behind.’ At least that's my wish.
“Yo, introduce. My name is Lucy, Lucy Groem.”
“Huh? What's up?”
“No, I think there is no one who does not know a genius prince like you.”
“Your praise is too much, there is still someone more or even deserves to be said as a genius.”
“You mean Princess Iona?”
“Yes, but not him. Except the person inside him.”
“So.” Only 1 person knew it, Lucy. My existence was dismantled with the cheap tricks he used on me.
“Then, can I know your name?”
“You can call me Ari.”
“Ari, it looks like it's no stranger to me.”
“Maybe it's just your feeling.”
“Hahaha, maybe. Oh yeah, if you can you don't have to talk to me about that. We are the same as students who seek knowledge. You can call me Lucy.”
“So, then. Lucy.” Maybe this will be the start of me, getting into trouble.
A while after that.
“Ari, Ari, wake up..”.
“Huh?” I slowly started to open my eyes. The whole look at me was no exception Iona. ‘Haa, it seems like I've been staying up too often lately.’
“You seem exhausted.”
“Yes, I've been staying up too often lately.”
“So.”
“Then, Ari.. Can you answer this question.”
Suddenly Iona told me to answer a question she knew when she wrote on the board. “Haa, fine.” I don't know why I'm so sleepy today. ‘Looks like I'm going to get insomnia.’ I answered all the questions Iona wrote. ‘Sounds like this is enough.’ After that I went back, and sat in my chair and went back to sleep because I was too sleepy.
Resting hours.
“Hey Ari, are you still asleep?”
“Lucy, yes. What's up?”
“How do you answer all those questions, don't you fall asleep so soundly that I'm sure you didn't listen to Round.”'s explanation
“Let's know, it all crossed my mind. I'll go back to sleep, I'm very sleepy.”
After school.
“Ari, you continued to fall asleep during the lesson.”
“Hoaamm, I'm sleepy plus your explanation like that makes me even more.”
“Hmmm, I can't understand what you're thinking.”
“You don't have to think about it, it won't get you anything other than a headache. And again.”.
“Ari, what's up?”
“It would be strange to see a princess walking with someone who does..”
“You started it again.”
“Alright, I give up. Even so, at least keep your distance from me to avoid the suspicion of others.”
“Suspices of others? What kind of suspicion?”
“Hmm, I don't know. But it's good to be prepared for such a thing.”
“If you say like that, fine.”
A few moments later.
“Ehh, instead of this there is absolutely no difference to the previous one.”
“Eh, I've kept my distance from you.”
He kept his distance, but only a few feet away from me. “Haa, stop. It's up to you.”
A while after that.
“Ari, it looks like it will rain.”
“Huh?” I looked towards the sky and it was true, black clouds started to approach. “What could there be other criminals who want to repeat the same thing.”
“It doesn't seem, I don't feel anything. It is not an artificial rain cloud like before.”
“So, yes. If so, we'd better hurry.”
A few moments later.
Sfx: rain sound.
“Haa, looks like we're late.” Iona and Iona were in front of one of the houses. “Iona, are you okay?”
“I'm fine. (sneezing)”
Her body shivered, like Iona was already cold. “Use this.” I gave her my shirt. “At least it will make you better for a while.”
“T-thanks.”
Sfx: lightning sound.
“Kyaaa!!”
“Iona, are you scared?”
“S-the voice is very loud. I-I was just surprised.”
“So.” The lightning sound just now was very loud. ‘It looks like something hit by that lightning strike.’ I saw the smoke, though because the heavy rain was a bit uncertain of what I was seeing.
A few moments later.
Sfx: lightning sound.
“Kyaa!!”
“Haa, you're scared.”
“S-the sound is so loud, I'm not afraid. I'm just surprised.”
“Hee, dubious.”
“A-I'm serious, you don't believe me?!.”
“Yes yes, I trust.”
Long enough after that.
The rain is starting to fall.
“It looks like it's better, Iona you go home and take a quick shower so as not to catch a cold.”
“How about you?”
“No need to worry about me, quickly go.”
“B-good.” We parted.
“Alright, time back.”
Long enough after that.
Just as I returned, something shocking happened. “Haaa, why would something like this happen to me.” The hut I was sheltering in, burned and charred. “It looks like due to one of the lightning earlier.” At least that's all I can conclude. “Ahhh, looks like I have to stay at Dravin's place tonight. It sucks.”
