Training
In contrast to Jill’s expectations, Asch’s way of teaching was extraordinarily meticulous and easy to understand. By no means, does he laugh at what she’s incapable of; he examines the cause of it and gives his suggestions. His beautifully-featured face suddenly gets close, and her heart unconsciously throbs, which the diligent beautiful young girl desperately denies.
“That’s why, this line……are you listening?”
“I’m-, I’m listening!”
She doesn’t want it to be found out even if she were to die, that she was charmed by the individual hated throughout the school. Rather, if it gets found out, I will, end up dying.
“I see. Then, try doing it exactly as I said……based on the time, I guess this will be the last as well”
“……yes”
She quietly catches her breath. While imagining the Seal that Asch drew just now, she quietly, draws her Seal……with his face flashing in her mind ever so slightly.
＜＜Display, The Existence Of Water, To The Enemy＞＞ーーIce Arrow (Ice・Emblem)
Along with her Chant, water manifests from her palm. It was minuscule, but it was something she undoubtedly released herself.
“It……came out……I did it……I did it I did it I did itt!”
Jill is so overly happy, that she unconsciously expresses her happiness by jumping.
“Hmm……well, not bad, but you got distracted for a moment huh. A bigger water pillar ought to actually come out……what were you thinking about?”
“It-……it doesn’t matter, right!? Leaving that aside, the fact that I managed to use Water Magic is a huge improvement!”
Blushingly and frantically, the diligent beautiful young girl makes her excuse.
“……well, as long as you’re happy, I guess it’s fine? Oops……the lesson is already over, isn’t it. I managed to spend quite a meaningful time. When you teach an incompetent child, it serves as practice for the fundamentals after all”
“Wha-, wha-, wha-……”
Leaving the worst-ever line behind, Asch briskly returns to the classroom.
Jill, who’s in shock, is tapped on her shoulder from behind. When she turned around, a beautiful young girl with long flax-coloured hair was standing there.
“Li-, Liana-shan”
Spoken to by the beautiful young girl with absolute popularity, she ended up accidentally biting her tongue. She’s an unreachable existence even from the eyes of the same gender. Of course, she usually can’t speak to her or anything.
“Sorry. Asch doesn’t have any ill intentions. Really”
“Doesn’t have……any ill intentions?”
No, instead, what should I take away from those words other than ill intentions.
“He’s obstinate to the extreme. The truth is, he was very happy that he managed to pair up with you”
“Is-, is that so!? Is that really so!?”
There’s a limit even when it comes to having an excessively Holy Mother personality, right. At the very least, I couldn’t feel such behaviour even the slightest.
“Really. It’s because he was happy, that he desperately wracked his brain and taught you, wanting you to somehow feel,『I’m glad』, you know”
“……”
Indeed, his tone was unfeeling, but he taught me patiently and did not abandon me by any means.
“Hey, Jill-chan. That fellow, he has extremely few friends, so it’d be great if you can get along with him from now on as well”
With those long slender fingers of hers, Liana squeezed Jill’s hand. Her small beautifully-featured face. Her smile as though that of an Angel drawn in a painting. Her demeanour that even the same-gendered Jill ends up being charmed by. They were things that don’t allow any answer other than『undestood』to come out by any means. The diligent beautiful young girl, nodded very deeply and responded to that.
“Hoo……I’m gladd”
Looking at her, who strokes her chest in relief, as though it’s her own issue,
“Err……could it be……you find Asch……”
“Idi-……that’s not what it is. It’s simply because that child came to my house, and I treated him like a young brother, so I’m worried about him! That’s, all there is to it”
“……”
At Liana, who’s panicking while blushing, she felt, a hint of jealousy. Thinking, ‘Aah, how adorablee’, ‘I’m sure, there’s nothing she can’t get her hands on huh’, and at the same time, ‘what a tremendously bad taste’. Shelving her own once-in-a-lifetime blunder of being mesmerised by him.
“I’m serious, you know?”
At her, who reinforces it once more, she thinks, ‘as I thought, she has bad taste’.
“Then, let’s assume that’s how it is, shall we?”
Having her desire to tease her stimulated slightly, she worded it in such a manner. By no means, is it because I’m jealous. All while she says that to herself.
“Aah……if-, if you put it like thatt”
“If I put it like that?”
“……nothing. In-, in any case, please take care of Asch”
Leaving such words behind, like she’s escaping from that spot, the long flax-coloured hair beautiful young girl ran off.
