… Did I shake them off?

Yep, it seems like I did. That’s good. I thought about what happened before. I don’t know who he was, but I had managed to escape, thanks to that man. Well then, I should quickly go to the women’s dorm to report this to Iada.

About that man, there is no problem if I thank him tomorrow. In the first place, I do not know who he is.

Okay, I’ll hurry up…

“Hey, wait up. He-ey”

… It seems like a pursuer have arrived. He unexpectedly recovered quite fast. I’ll go burn his head again.

First, I’ll pretend not to notice. Elementary spells takes a minute of preparation to rapidly fire, and the accuracy isn’t good. Therefore, I’ll hold my attack until they get closer to the shooting range.

The pursuer is steadily getting closer to me. Another 10 more steps, 9, 8 ….

Aah, I can’t endure it anymore! Get hit!

I shouted with all my strength. It wasn’t necessary to shout, but I feel it increased the power a little. I’ll burn him completely.

“Fire Ball!!”

“Eh, wha-, wai-, u-uWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!?”

◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇

“I’m so sorry”

“Ah, no, it’s fine since you didn’t hit me”

I was chasing the red-haired girl when a red fire ball flew at me.

Although it is good that I avoided it at the last second, if it had hit me, I would not have hairs growing on my head for thirty years.

Yeah, I am really glad.

The red-haired girl has been apologizing, bending her lower back in a 90 degree angle. It doesn’t match her outward appearance. I thought girls like her wouldn’t apologize.

“So, what was that a while ago?”

I changed the topic since the conversation was going around in a circle before. Seeing a beautiful girl apologizing pricks one’s conscience… doesn’t it? It’s stimulating. Oops, it’s not a good thing to be thinking now. Sometimes I forget that I’m still only ten-years old. It’s 3 to 4 years early to feel sexual desires.

” a while ago…?”

“You know, things about several surrounding men, [Guhehe, isn’t this little girl quite nice?] [Damn, I’ll kill…] [Hou, boldly saying such strong words?], didn’t such things happen?” [1]

“… that didn’t happen though?”

Go away, dispel! My delusions unconsciously came out from my mouth. Is she backing away from me? That sort of thing is only nice in 2D. [2]

“So rude. So, about a little while ago?”

“Ah, well, it was about this argument…”

She revealed a wooden box. There is nothing special, just an ordinary wooden box.

“Uhh, can I look at the contents…”

“No, you can’t”

Right.

“But, what is about this box?”

“err, that is…”

I summarized the information from her poor explanation.

She had lost the wooden box. She didn’t say what the wooden box contained, but it seems it’s an important item prepared for today. Although, I don’t know why she would lose such a thing.

Anyways, the baldy found it and picked up the box, carrying it with him.

She insisted the box belonged to her and requested the man to return it back. And well, the baldy with his underlings, wanted sexual rewards. And then, I had arrived when the scoundrels were surrounding her. That’s the whole story.

Fumufumu. [3]

… Wha-? That’s an unusual terrible development.

“Umm?”

She is anxiously looking over here. Yep, she’s quite adorable. Wait, this is not the time to be thinking that.

Ah, that reminds me.

“Now that I think of it, we haven’t introduced ourself. I’m Joseph Wallace. A first-year in class 3, 10 years old”

“…Ah, younger”

“Eh?”

“… ahem. My name’s Sarah Malinowska. A first year in class 3, 12 years old!”

… Huh? Older?

“What. What’s the matter?”

“N-, no. There’s nothing wrong”

She became haughty the moment it was distinguished that I was the younger one. Not that I dislike about it.

“Well, anyways thanks for your help awhile ago. I was saved”

“You’re welcome”

I was suspicious whether she was really grateful. Well, that’s fine.

“Well then, I’m going back to the girl’s dormitory. We’re in the same class, so I’ll see you tomorrow”

“… I think it’s better if you don’t go?”

“What?”

No, really. If she returns now, I recalled in the thin novels, it will cause a disturbance in one way or the other.
