217-Episode 41: Dad Is A Human

When I returned after defeating the demons, all the demons, including Atlas, had already been taken care of.

''Ark, welcome back!''

I'm home, Leila.

How did it go?

'There were demons. I think we've defeated them, so I think we're good to go.

When I told him that, a breath of relief escaped from everywhere.

'That's what I'm talking about,'

What do you think, guys??I knew I wasn't crazy, right?

Rikka is impressed, and for some reason, Melena is smug.

'Oh, hey,'

Mr. Vanna approached me with a scary look on his face.

I was a little defensive, wondering if she was going to complain about something else.

Wow, I'm sorry I doubted you. You really are a tough guy.

Apparently, he recognized me.

"I was surprised too. I thought I was doomed when that Atlas showed up, but I didn't expect him to beat me alone.

Diaz-san cowered her shoulders.

'Leila-san aside, why so much strength...??Are you not unemployed??Or is that some kind of mistake?

The one who asked me that was Alisa.

''No, you're really ?unemployed??

".........

Huh?

I'm getting some suspicion from everyone...?

I'll tell you the truth.

Well, my dad trained me pretty hard.

'Yes!?He's so strong!?Even if it took two of us, Leila and Ark, we couldn't stand a chance!

That person really is a human...?

Everyone shuddered.

'My dad is human!'

Leila puffs out her cheeks and gets angry.

She's a father figure, so she gets in a bad mood when people say bad things about her dad.

After resting for a while, we quickly decide to leave the forest.

As expected, no one wanted to continue the training under these circumstances.

A few days had passed since the joint training.

In the boys' dormitory room, Ranta said.

''Even so, it's still scary. The undead, no matter how much you attack them, they don't work, do they?

I'm not saying it won't work, okay??You won't feel any pain, but if you destroy your leg, you won't be able to move, and if you crush your head, you'll generally be stuck.

"Up.

As if imagining it, Ranta frowned in disgust.

Not only Ranta, but that one incident was already known throughout the academy.

This is because just yesterday, the faculty told all the students about it.

It had already become a rumor, and as expected, they couldn't afford to keep it hushed up.

Although there were many students who were relieved to hear that the main culprit, the demon tribe, had been defeated, there were still many who felt uneasy, and a gloomy atmosphere had enveloped the academy.

That's how much the events of four years ago must have cast a shadow over them.

''Come to think of it, you fought too, didn't you?

Yes.

It's a real disaster. You're in your first seminar and all of a sudden, right?

Well. But I think it was a good experience.

He's got balls. That's what it takes to jump up from E-Class to S-Class in one fell swoop.

Ranta was right, I had been moved to S class without incident.

I heard that Gorilla-sensei had gotten approval from the staff meeting.

'You've completely overtaken me.

If Lanta can hang on, he'll get there.

You don't need to be a genius to get an S-rank in the world.

I don't think so.

If you want to talk about talent, I'm just "unemployed".

Oh, yeah.

Ranta clapped his hands as if he remembered something.

'I've got another letter for you, eh?

A letter?

It's probably Leila again.

I don't want to be me anymore, I don't want to be replaced.

It's hard to live in a girl's dormitory disguised as Layla, but more than that, I don't know what I'm going to get up to when Layla has me in charge.

I let out a sigh and called out the contents of the letter.

''I apologize for the suddenness of your letter. The next holiday, if you don't mind, can we meet up??I want to talk to ARC about something. Celestia

I mean, that's Celestia!

Hmm??What's going on??Maybe it's a love letter??Early on, the S-class effect~. I'm so jealous.

No, no!

Then why are you so upset?

I didn't!

I take a deep breath and calm myself down.

What in the world does he want, calling me all the way out here with a letter?

If this were a normal girl, I might expect a little bit of that.

But she's dealing with the princess of this country.

It's not going to be a sweet turn of events.

When I calmed down and thought about it, I suddenly felt uneasy.

Don't tell me they didn't find out that they were swapped or something!

If so, it's the end of the roll.

It's the end of my spirit, not just my school life.

"What am I going to do...

Oh, hey, you okay??You've suddenly gone pale, but...

I'm not okay.

Ark!

It's all Leila's fault........

The next day, I had come to the meeting place.

It's a small garden behind the school building, almost unpopular even within the academy.

I sat on a bench set up there and waited for Celestia-san.

There is still thirty minutes until the appointed time.

I was too nervous to arrive too early.

I meditate and unify my mind.

I'll review again the excuses I've already thought of many times.

''Ark, Mr........''

...Your Highness Celestia?

Wait, are you early?

Celestia arrived much earlier than I had expected, and I was greatly flustered.
