That day was the first proper day off since I entered the school.

　I've had a few days off before, but I was too busy getting my living environment in order to relax, so I didn't have time to relax.

　It's a holiday for you.
　It's the first time in a while that I've wanted to hide in my room and read a book, but unfortunately, I had prior commitments to make today.

You know. The next day off, would you like to go out?　I want to thank you for teaching me how to study.'

　I remember what Elisa said to me in the library.

　I promised Eliza to show me around the royal capital today.

　Eliza said you said you knew a lot of good food. And I heard there's a used bookstore.
　Well, whatever it is, it will be a good experience to go out to the royal capital and experience the latest culture of this era.

　However, there's one problem.

　
　There is a rule in the Earthria Magic Academy that students have to write a regulation 'going out' report when they go out.

　It seems to be basically accepted, but sometimes it is said that on the day they are hit by a nasty person in charge, they won't get permission to go out.

Abel-sama. What's going on?

　As I walked along, praying that I wouldn't have bad luck, I was approached by someone I knew.

'...... Lilith. What are you doing here? You.

　Lilith sat down on a chair in front of the school gates and seemed to be reading a book, as if she hadn't been holding on to it.

''Yes. I'm the one who has to watch the students to make sure they don't go AWOL.

Oh, I see. So that's what happened.

　That's convenient.
　If a teacher who had bad feelings about me was on duty, there was also the possibility that I wouldn't be allowed to go out.

　I was prepared for the worst case, especially if that cantor or some other physical education teacher was on duty, but Lilith would be fine.

'Take this guy.

'...... outgoing delivery? That's unusual.

Yes. I've got some business to attend to in King's Landing.

　Am I just imagining things?
　Lilith, who received the papers, seemed to have a slightly unamused expression on her face.

...... Speaking of which, just a few minutes ago, I received a similar delivery from someone named Eliza, who is in the same class as Abel-sama.

　Hmm?　I wonder.
　Lilith looks a little different today than she usually does.



　To be more specific, I feel like this is the first time the topic of students other than me has come out of Lilith's mouth.

　Let's see.
　It sounds interesting, so let's make fun of it a bit.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. That's odd.

'Is Master Abel going out with someone named Eliza?'

I don't know. I don't know.

...... Mr. Abel. Could you come over here for a moment?

　The next action Lilith took surprised me.
　I don't know what she thought, but Lilith suddenly brought me into the shade of a tree in front of the school gate.
