<h1 class="has-text-align-center">Episode 37: I hope you don’t fight for me</h1>
◇
Only I know about the early morning accident.
By the time I woke up, they were both already awake, so I was the last to leave the bed.
I’d be digging my own grave, so I won’t blame them for sneaking into my bed.
However, regardless of that, tension appeared on the faces of Aina and Aleria.
“Did you get a good night’s sleep?”
“Yes, thanks to you… No, I slept fine, so I’m fine.” (Aleria)
Somehow, she felt less casual than yesterday. Did she do something?
“Well, that’s fine, but you’ll have to calm down.”
Aleria may be nervous because she’s worried about Aina.
It’s like parents are worried about their children’s exam results. Or is it a little different?
“Aleria, I know you’re worried, but Aina will pass. It’s fine.”
“It’s okay cause I’m not worried!”\n
</ins>\n“Oh, is that so …?
Then why is she nervous?
Well, don’t worry about the details.
◇
The first test is the magic test.
This is the first wall, but looking at Aina’s status using “Evil Eye”, I can be sure that she’ll pass.
“Then, put your arm through here. I will measure your magic power.”
The test is handled by the usual receptionist, and Aina is about to undergo a magic test.
The machine being used is that blood pressure machine look-alike that was completely useless at that time.
It’s just like the ones in supermarkets, but can it actually measure blood pressure?
The measuring instrument tightens.
“Ah … the upper limit has been exceeded. The test has passed for the time being. I’ll measure it with the crystal, so please go there.”
Unlike when it was me, the receptionist proceeded in a straightforward manner.
“You’re reaction is different from my time.”
“Because I’m already used to it! The manual has been updated since Yuki-sama’s case.”
Aina approaches the crystal.\n</ins>\n It was a brand new one.
I broke it, so I guess they replaced it.
“Please put your hand here. If you’re about to exceed the upper limit, I will stop it, so please let go.”
“I understand.”
It’s quite interesting that she assumes it will break.
Aina’s MP is not over 100,000, so it should be possible to measure it normally.
When Aina touches the crystal, the color gradually changes.
It turned blue and then bluish purple.
“Hmm? It looks like it’s still measuring. Please stay as you are!”
Then the color change stopped.
“It’s about 50,000! Well, that’s a lot! Then next will be the practical test, so please prepare.”
As expected, her reaction is weak …
“Aina-san is amazing enough, but I guess I won’t be able to feel the same excitement as I did with Yuki-sama…”
The receptionist slumped her shoulders and let out a whisper that only I could hear.
Yeah, I’m sorry I kind of took the fun out of it.

Next is the practical test.
“It seems that the person in charge is a little late, so please wait for a while.”
So we have some time left.
There’s plenty of time before the final exam, so there seems to be no problem with the schedule.\n</ins>\n“Um, how was it?”
“… what?”
Aleria suddenly said something incomprehensible.
I have no idea what she’s talking about.
“It’s no use fooling around. You know that Aina and I sneaked into the bed this morning, right?”
“What are you talking about? Did you sneak in?”
“Mmmm, You aren’t very good at telling lies. You’re always up early in the morning, so how could he have overslept today? You must have slept in twice.”
What is this girl, an esper?
“I’m sure … you must have touched my chest. You always touch it with pinpoint accuracy for some reason! Always!”
“If you don’t like it, you just have to not climb into my bed without permission, right?”
“It doesn’t matter. The important thing is … which was better, Aina’s or mine?”
Why did she assume I touched Aina!
You guys were both sleeping!
“It’s important. You have to make it clear … I’ve been worried about it since morning…” (Aina)
Aina also entered the conversation.\n</ins>\n“What happened Aina!”
“Aleria suddenly challenged me to a match in the middle of the night. I can’t afford to lose this fight.”
Aleria and Aina were burning with fighting spirit.
Both of them are smiling, but their eyes aren’t.
” Both of you, stop fighting! They both had a different kind of great feel! Isn’t that enough!?”
“Did you think that would convince me?”
“As Aleria says. I’m not convinced either.”
I can’t say which was better or worse!
Everyone is different and everyone is good!
How can I get out of this pinch—as my thoughts were spinning at high speeds, an unexpected help came in.\n</ins>\n“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting! For some reason, when I told him the result of the magic test, the examiner refused me … I’m looking for a replacement now …”
“Oh! That’s a big deal! Tell me more about the situation!”
I dared to reply loudly as if to escape the verbal assault of Aleria and Aina.\n
