\n“I knew it, the rumors were…”“So that means, the one from the rumors is…”
I heard a few voices like this. At the same time, I felt heavy gazes from behind me… hieh…
“Quiet! And, joyously, two Sacred Beast contractors are new students at our Adelia Academy.”
Whoah…! Such cheers rose up. Hieeh… Am I going to be introduced in this excitement!?\n“Please, the two Sacred Beast contactors, come up on the stage.”
Uwaah… as I thought. I have to get on the stage in this atmosphere… I, I don’t want to goo…!
“Yes!”“… Yes.”
Sei replied vigorously and stood up from his seat, and I stood up as well after making up a resolve.At that moment, the whole hall went silent!… Ugh … the stares in the hall hurt…! \nI followed Sei to the stage and stood in the center of the room as the Headmaster called us.
“Let me introduce them. These are the new Sacred Beast contractors, the foreign exchange student, Sei Shikishima-kun and Miss Cristea Ellisfeed.”
As the Headmaster introduced us, I bowed with Sei and the audience applauded loudly.While I was surprised by the volume of applause, the Headmaster stepped back and His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen… Lily-sama, stood up and took his place.As soon as His Majesty raised his hand, everyone in the hall quieted down and stood up, and His Majesty’s speech began.
“The history of our country began with the Founding King and his Sacred Beast Leon, as all citizens of our country know. Since then, we have cherished the Sacred Beasts and their contractors as our national treasures. And this will never change. Now that they have become contractors of the Sacred Beasts, I would like them to use their power for the development of our country. The overseas student, Shikishima-kun, may eventually return to his country, but I hope that we can build a friendly relationship afterwards.”\nWh, what was that… I can’t help but feel uneasy that it ended so peacefully, you know!?
