And I want you to try one anyway. I'm proud to be from my hometown. ......

Shut up! It stinks! Invasive species!

 One of the men pays off his hands.
 Losing his balance, Ted let go of the paper bag he was holding in both hands and slumped to the floor with a thud.

'This garbage! I can't get it in my mouth, by the way!

 The next action the man took stunned me.

 As I didn't know what I was thinking, the man kicked the paper bag of food away.

 A manjuu popped out of the paper bag and rolled down the hallway in a heap.

 Good grief. What a terrible thing to do.
 I wonder if children in this era hadn't been taught by their parents not to waste food.

'Whoa! Jeez, my own buns!

 Ted held his head in his hands as he saw the manjuu lying strewn around in the hallway.

 He seemed to be in a panic, as if he was very sad that the manjuu he had prepared for himself had gone to waste.

 Should we stop the quicksilver?
 I was trying to decide if I should help Ted or not.

'If you say so much, I'll take one,'

 The manjuu rolled away and there was a girl with reddish hair that I recognized.

 Her name was Eliza.
 Ever since the entrance exam, she and I have had some kind of fated relationship.

 Eliza, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, was wearing the school's designated uniform, a pleated skirt, with aplomb.

 Eliza picked up the snowball buns that had rolled over and pecked at them and put them in her little mouth.

''Mmmm. Well, I'd say it's a 70. It's not bad, but it needs to have more of a local flavor.

 Hmm. I haven't seen her for a while, but she seems to be the same as ever.
 This woman, Eliza or something like that, has an impeccable appearance, but her bad mouth is a problem.

''Geeeeeeee! This woman ate something that fell on the floor!

Unbelievable. It's the height of sophistication! This is why I don't like invasive species!



 When the men see Eliza's outlandish behavior, they begin to gawk and scream.

 Well.
 I wonder which one of them is really less classy.
 
 Perhaps Eliza's mouthful of food on the ground was intended to encourage Ted in her own way.

 It can't be helped.
 I really didn't want to get involved in any trouble, but if I left it any longer, it could result in even more trouble.

 Especially since, aside from Ted, the short-tempered Eliza doesn't know what she's going to do.

''Both of you. Let's just leave it at that.

'Huh? What are you?

 As I step forward to intercede, the men turn their gazes against us in unison.

 But soon after that.
 As soon as my gaze collided with theirs, one of the men loosened his mouth and erupted.

''Hey, hey. I mean, look at that! This guy's eyes!

"Gyahahahaha! Is this for real? There were some inferior eyes in this year's outside students who couldn't use magic!

 I see. I think Lilith had mentioned it before.
 It seems that there are two types of students in this Earthlear Magic Academy, the 'inside students' who came up from the 'preparatory school', and the 'outside students' like me who took the exam and came in.
 
 I see.
 This connects to what I was talking about earlier.

 The "poison perch" they are talking about must have been a derogatory term for us "outsiders".
