The man cut in quickly.
“Ah, you were an educator. Nice to meet you. My name is Silvar Cosine. My father is a deputy director of Creas. With all due respect, I fell in love at first sight. I would be very honored to have a chance to court you.”
Shirone, along with his friends, were bewildered.
'That is the worst kind of self introduction I have ever heard. Who's going to fall for that?'
However, it probably was a natural procedure in the aristocratic society.
Siena didn't respond much. She just rested her forehead on her hand and sighed.
Although she didn't show on the outside, Siena's heart felt like it was burning in hell's fire.
Her heart sank every time she imagined Keira's gaze.
'She must hate me. I shouldn't have gone there. No, I shouldn't have contacted him from the beginning.'
Of course, the memories she had were those of when they were children, so she didn't feel a sense of betrayal from Armin even when he appeared with Keira.
However, it would be a lie to say that she didn't have any hope. The feeling of what it would be like when they met again.
The feeling of her heart racing and the thought of wanting to go back in time never left her.
'But… Is this love? I haven't wanted anyone since the incident that day.'
Silvar continued.
“Excuse me, I introduced myself too grandly. I'm sorry. I guess I had a strong desire to look good because I met a woman I didn't want to let go. Please, forgive me for my rudeness.”
“It's fine. I'm tired, so please go away.”
Siena was actually really tired.
Of course, for a certified Grade 6 mage to forcibility break out from their drunken state wasn't anything difficult, but Siena still needed the effects of the alcohol right now. She wanted it.
She wanted to forget everything. If she could, Siena wanted to wash away her memories with even more alcohol.
“Mmm.”
When Siena, who had entrusted her mind to intoxication, faltered, Silvar hurriedly supported her.
“Leaving a woman alone is not chivalry. I will guide you to the carriage.”
Nade glared.
“What are you doing right now? Don't you dare touch our teacher without permission.”
“There must be some kind of misunderstandingI'm trying to help her. You guys can go your merry ways now. I'll call a carriage.”
Despite Nade's dissuasion, when Silvar moved to stand Siena up, Shirone grabbed him by the wrist.
Silvar's face distorted. He decided to deal with the situation the fastest way.
“Who told you you can just grasp an adult's wrist like that? You better let go while I'm telling you nicely.”
Shirone didn't back down.
“She said she's fine. Please leave. We will take our teacher.”
“You take a person's word for a joke, don't you? I saw earlier that you guys were the ones making her drink that whole bottle. Will you come to your senses after all three of you are expelled from whatever academy you hail from?”
Yiruki scoffed.
“You are the one who needs to come to their senses the most out of everyone here. Since your father's a deputy director, you should be more careful with keeping up your appearance. If you continue to act like this, who will lose more out of this situation if it gets spread. You or us?”
Silvar hardened his eyes.
“…What did you just say? ”
“Ah, your title! I'm pretty sure there was a formal title for the son of a deputy director.”
“You mannerless bastard!”
Silvar turned his drunkenness into anger and grabbed Yiruki by the collar. However, as a tingling shock spread through his side, his hand lost its strength.
He gasped, cradling his wounded side. He stepped back.
“Wh-What was that?”
Nade was holding electricity
“You're going too far. We're only holding back because we're outside of the academy. If you want, we can also go somewhere where there are no people.”
Silvar's companion spoke out.
“Hey… Those guys… They're magic academy students.”
“Magic academy? Alpheas Magic Academy?”
