I was sitting in a chair in the instructor's room, regulating my rough breathing.
Continuing from yesterday as today's escort, Miina held out fruit juice with ice made by magic.
Sitting opposite, also continuing from yesterday as escort, Hurlin had both cheeks in her hands and was smiling troubledly.
"Raide-sama, you overdid it too much~"
"Haa haa, sorry… haaa, but I was worried."
"Even so, running back to the inn at full strength and then coming to the academy again… Raide-sama is earnest, aren't you?"
"Even so, I'm an instructor…"
At my words the two floated troubled smiles and looked at each other's faces.
I had left the principal's office and arrived at the instructor's room, but Pafa's condition concerned me so much I could no longer work.
If I had said it earlier at that time… the words I hate circled my head, and before I knew it I was running toward the inn.
If I was going to think that, I should go and tell them—I had been far too cautious.
