I heard that five groups, including ours, would be participating in todayās harvesting, and accordingly, the supervisors and escorts were waiting at the meeting place.
āWell then, we are going to warp to the harvesting forest! Have you double-checked your equipment?ā
Beside the teacher of the Knight department, who was shouting loudly, the supervisors and escorts were assigned to each group.
Eh? That one over there isā¦
āYo, Tea.ā
āOniisama!?ā
It was my brother who came to our group.
āWhy are you hereā¦?ā
āI ran for the position of supervisor. His Highness also wanted to come as an escort, but he was rejected because he would need to bring more guards with him.ā
ā¦ Thatās right, of course.
What was His Highness thinking?
Heās probably the person who needs to be escorted the most in this academy.
āIt appears he wanted to see how good you are in personā¦ even though itās obvious that you are excellent. No matter, I can be your escort, no?ā
No? He tilted his head and askedā¦
I wish you would stop asking me questions that I am at a loss to answer, Oniisama.
Mariel-chan, can you stop watching from afar with a lukewarm smile on your face?
āNorman, can you stop flirting with your little sister and introduce us?ā
A tall male student equipped with leather armor peeked out from behind Oniisama.
Ueh!? F, flirting, where!?
āHector, could you stop talking nonsense? Geezā¦ this is my little sister, Cristea. Cristea, this is my classmate, Hector Colbeck. Heās the third son of Count Colbeck, and heās expected to join the Knights Order next year. You can be assured by his skills as an escort.ā
āNice to meet you, I am Cristea. I will be in your care today.ā
When I greeted him with a light ladylike bow, Hector looked at me with a curious look.
āOu, best regards! You can call me Hector. Iām glad to see you because Norman always brags about you, but I did not have the chance to meet you in person for a long time, so Iām happy to finally meet youā¦ Still, you are so tiny! Are you eating well?ā
Hector said, laughing cheerfully and patting me on the head.
ā¦ I know he thinks Iām small because heās a head taller than Oniisama, but I have a bit of a complex about that, so I would like him to leave it alone and not mention it again!
Iām eating well, but Iām not growing!
I canāt help it, okay!?
Itās rude to treat a lady like a little girl!
āHector Nii! Is Hector Nii escorting us!?ā
Adry-sama ran over happily.
āOh, itās Adry. Best regards today.ā
Hector-sama patted Adry-samaās head.
Adry-sama let out, āStop it~!ā but he seemed to be enjoying it.
Looking at the way he was patting his head, it seemed that he was being considerate when he patted me on the head.
āAdry-sama, do you know each other?ā
āAh! Hector Nii used to come to our house for sword training. He used to hang out with me afterward.ā
Right! He smiled at Hector-sama as he spoke.
I see, so they are childhood friends, or rather Hector-sama is the big bro from the neighborhood?
āFuohhā¦ a dark horse appearedā¦? No, I guess heās more of a stallion ready to gallopā¦!?ā
The mumbling I heard mumbling behind meā¦
Mariel-chan was staring at them with moistened eyes.
āā¦ That lady over there is?ā
Hector-sama looked at Mariel-chan.
Ah, crap. Did he sense that Mariel-chan was looking at them with BL eyes!?
āUm, umm! She is my best friend and a member of the same group, Mariel Mayor-sama.ā
When I lined up next to Mariel-chan and introduced them, Hector-sama remained staring at her.
Hector-sama! Mariel-chan just likes to fantasize about rottenness from the mobās point of view a little, but she is a perfectly normalā¦ normal child? Yes, sheās just a normal girl!
