Chapter 13: A Nostalgic Smell

July 11, 2018

What. What are you doing Noel?

I was frightened and at loss while sinking into the bed.

It’s a training ground, isn’t it?

I always go during lunch time and it’s a training ground for the general soldier.

Why is the star knight Noel there?

There’s no way he randomly decided to drop by.

I wonder if it’s because of the near miss at the corridor.

Or maybe it’s because Ordias-sama talked about me.

So, to confirm my appearance, he went to the training ground during lunch time.

I think it’s natural to think that way, but…

…I’m self-conscious

No, I can only think of it that way.

Sena was worry since I was suddenly quiet.

“Oh, I wanted you to meet him, Haruka! I’m sorry about today.” (Sena)

It’s okay. Sena made it okay.

Rather I’m safe. I was barely safe.

As I listen to the details, Noel came to the training ground today under the pretext of inspecting the training of the regular soldiers. It looks like there was an advanced notice because the soldiers weren’t panicking. However, Sena who weren’t told that Noel was coming was surprised and excited.

I understand why.

Even though it was a big happening like the heavens and earth turned upside down, Noel went up to Sena to talk to her. You are the reputable lady who sells the bentos.

“Well, I was too surprised after all. So, no words came out at all. I wonder if I left a bad impression. But, it was a great experience. Really! Oh, but I had to tell him about Haruka.” (Sena)

“Huh? Me?” (Haruka)

“Yes, Noel said, “It will be very hard to carry the lunch to the royal palace every day.” So, I thought I had to tell him about Haruka’s efforts! I told him there is another child carrying it, and it is that child who thought about doing bento sales.” (Sena)

“Is that so?” (Haruka)

Well. Even though Sena is just a regular young lady selling bentos. Noel would never go to the training ground again to see how it is. He doesn’t have enough free time to do that. He has to be a knight. But today is the power of action…

“Does Noel-sama go the training ground often?” (Sena)

“It seems that this is the first for the soldiers. The world is different between the knights and ordinary soldiers. I wonder if he came to visit me because of the trouble we took to take care of his subordinates.” (Haruka)
