Chapter 77: School Festival Part 2

Victor: Wow

Ducard: Hmm. So this is what the school building looks like.

Bonalt: It looks splendid.

The three of them had went through body check and were wearing wristbands as the admission permit. They stood in front of the school buildings. It was their first time to see the building. The entrance gate was decorated with stars in accordance with their theme, Milky Way. The visitors looked around curiously as they entered the gate.

I never thought that Id have the chance to enter this place one day, Victor said emotionally.

Bonalt gave a dry laugh. Even an aristocrat like you would say things like that? He felt out of place being there among the aristocrats and wealthy merchants.

Come on. We should just enjoy this rare opportunity. Lets go see Leader! Ducard continued to walk looking unconcerned. He took a pamphlet and search for the location.

Ducard: Leader is in 2nd Year Class A, right?

Bonalt: Yes.

Ducard: Then, we should go this way.

He confirmed the location and passed the pamphlet to Bonalt. He led the way for them confidently.

Bonalt: Wait. Why dont we walk around slowly?

Ducard: Well have lots of time later after seeing Leader.

Victor: I agree.

Bonalt: .

Bonalt knitted his brows looking at Victor walking next to Ducard. He followed behind them while reading the pamphlet. It seems they have quite a number of programs. Why dont we go watch the performance later? Hmm, Leaders class is doing

He read through the list of programs and was confused when he found it. Hitsuji[1] caf? He knew what caf meant but was unsure about the word hitsuji.

Ducard: It should be here, right?

Victor: It looks like it.

Ducard and Victor stood in front the classroom, leaving Bonalt behind. The exterior of the classroom was decorated with pictures of green meadows and blue skies. There were fluffy white materials that looked like clouds floating up above using magic.

Victor: Do you think Lea- Raz-sa.n is in?

Ducard: I dont know. Wanna go in?

The three guys stood at the entrance covered with the fluffy clouds. A female student saw them and asked awkwardly, Would you like to have a sit and relax on clouds that are as fluffy as sheep?

Bonalt and Ducard looked at the girl in the light blue maid outfit and felt that she looked familiar. Ducard already memorized the faces of people that were closed to Raz during the tournament before. Oh. Arent you a friend of Raz-san?

Folia was surprised to hear the name. Huh! You know Raz-chan? My name is Folia. Im a good friend with Raz. Shes not here at the moment. Shes doing a task for the steering committee. Her shift here will start at 2 oclock. Folia was a bit upset that Razs friends were unable to meet her.

Ducard: So shes not here?

Folia: Yes

At that time, the classroom door was opened from inside. Luca came out wearing a tailcoat like a butler.

Luca: Whats wrong?

Folia: Ah, Luca-kun. They are here for Raz-chan.

Luca: For Granoli?

Luca stood next to Folia and greeted the three men.

Luca: Raz is out on a patrol.

Bonalt: I see. Thank you for letting us know. Well come again later.

The three of them left the classroom.

Ducard: 2 oclock. We still have a lot of time.

Bonalt: We might bump into Leader if we walk around.

Victor: Thats possible.

So, the three of them decided to walk around the school building.

Victor: Actually, I applied to Centrior before and failed.

Bonalt and Ducard were shocked at his casual remarks.

Ducard: I didnt know that.

Bonalt: You really like to surprise other people.

Victor shrugged his shoulder. I thought about joining the military because I failed the exam. Looking at the situation, I thought I should rise up on a different stage. But when I joined the military, I was surprised to find out there was an amazing person there.

Ducard: And that amazing person become a scholarship student in Centrior.

Victor heaved out a sigh. Leader is really amazing. I totally respect her. In some way, that person is quite terrifying. He thought the envy that he felt had overflowed and it was more like a feeling of reverence.

At that time, Bonalt noticed something and stopped his feet. There she is.

The other two men followed his line of sight. !!! Victor hold his breath and widened his eyes when he saw his superior that he missed wearing school uniform.

Hmm. It didnt take long to find her, Ducard said calmly. He pushed Victor, saying, Lets go greet her.

However, Victor turned his heel and tried to run away. Ah. Its fine. Im already satisfied. Thank you.

Of course, Ducard wouldnt let him go that easily. Hey. Whats wrong? Are you going to leave just like that without saying hello to her? He put on a wicked smile and grabbed Victors shoulder.

I cant. I really cant. Did you see her? I feel like Im dreaming. Victor had reached his limit after seeing Raz in school uniform. Her appearance suited her age when she was wearing a school uniform, and not a military uniform. This was what she was supposed to look like. The arrow of gap moe[2] had struck Victors heart. I cant do this. I should come again later. No, I should reborn again.

Stop talking nonsense. Lets go and chase her. Ducard dragged him mercilessly.

Bonalt stood at the side watching Raz while listening to their conversation. He stopped Ducard and said, Wait. Take a look carefully.

What is it? Ducard was puzzled. Then, he saw the person walking by Razs side and finally realized what Bonalt was trying to say. The Prime Ministers son Its him again.

Ducard and Bonalt fell silent when they saw Adis standing next to Raz. Victor looked at their reaction and then turned to look at Raz and Adis. Suddenly, he felt like he was struck by lightning. Huh! Could it be?! He grabbed Ducard out of shock. Are the two of them dating?!

Ducard turned to Victor and told him to calm down.

Bonalt: I didnt hear anything from Leader but Ive been suspicious about him since the previous tournament.

Ducard: Leader doesnt seem like she had any interest with having a romantic relationship. It must be the guy that has feelings for her.

Bonalt: Yeah.

Victor was unable to stay calm after listening to their conversation.

Bonalt: Shall we go observe the situation?

Ducard: I agree. We have to make clear of this matter here.

It was an unexpected turn of events.

Victor was not so clear about the situation, so he started to get wild ideas about the relationship between Adis and Raz and making himself sad. Im still not mentally prepared to see Leader become someones wife. I still want to learn a lot from her. I dont want her to quit. Leader, dont throw me away

Bonalt and Ducard: Shut up!

The two buddies ignored Victor, who was still mumbling to himself. Their gaze quickly locked onto the target. Bonalt was one of the few men with conscience in 537th SAB. He treated Raz like a sister, so he was very sensitive to the men around her side.

[1] Hitsuji : Sheep.

[2] Gap moe: unexpected cuteness when a character does something contradictory to their usual personality.
