487.

 

Leo received a summons from Headmaster Riina and headed to the Tower of Heroes.

 

“Oh? It’s the President!”

 

“Senior Leo!”

 

Several freshmen moving between classes spotted Leo and showed surprised expressions.

 

“Listen well in class.”

 

Leo gave a light wave to the freshmen.

 

Even at such a simple greeting, the freshmen couldn’t help but show an enthusiastic reaction.

 

That was natural since Leo had been an object of admiration for the freshmen even during the first semester.

 

But before the second semester began, he had even risen to the position of a hero, so now many students showed overwhelming respect that went beyond mere admiration.

 

Leaving behind the freshmen who showed fervent reactions even to a simple greeting, Leo arrived at the Tower of Heroes.

 

Soon he headed to the Headmaster’s Office at the top of the Tower of Heroes.

 

Knock knock-

 

“Come in.”

 

When he opened the door to the Headmaster’s Office and entered, there was a student in a white uniform having a conversation with Riina.

 

“Eiran?”

 

“Leo!”

 

Eiran showed a bright expression.

 

Seeing Leo like that, Riina spoke.

 

“Welcome, Student Council President. I heard your activities in the North-Eastern Region were remarkable.”

 

Riina, who had been having an interview with Eiran, chuckled and said.

 

“That’s all I have to tell you. You can receive guidance about the dormitory and academy facilities from Leo Flobe.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Eiran nodded with a smile.

 

“Why is Eiran here?”

 

“Student Eiran Eisar came here as an exchange student. Just like how you went to Seirun as an exchange student during the first semester. Seirun also sent an exchange student.”

 

“Ah.”

 

Eiran had wanted to come to Lumern as an exchange student since last year.

 

During the first semester, Leo had gone as an exchange student from Lumern.

 

It seemed that Seirun had also sent Eiran as an exchange student this time, just like then.

 

While Leo was nodding, Riina, who had her chin resting on her clasped hands, spoke.

 

“Student Eiran. I’ve placed an order for your uniform at the uniform shop ‘Blessriger’ on Kurazhu Street in Lumeria City.”

 

“Yes!”

 

“Leo Flobe. Since the 2nd years don’t have classes today anyway, you’re free, right?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Please guide her around for today.”

 

“Understood.”

 

Leo nodded and approached Eiran, lifting the large bag beside her.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

“Ah! Leo. I’ll carry it.”

 

“It’s fine.”

 

Leo stopped Eiran, who was hurriedly trying to take the bag, and left the Headmaster’s Office.

 

“Student Eiran, I hope you have a pleasant time.”

 

“Ah, yes! Goodbye! Headmaster!”

 

Eiran politely bowed her head and followed Leo.

 

Leo also lightly bowed to Riina before closing the door to the Headmaster’s Office.

 

As they left the Tower of Heroes, many people’s gazes turned toward the two of them.

 

“Huh? A Seirun student?”

 

“The one next to her is the Student Council President.”

 

“Why is a Seirun student at Lumern?”

 

The upperclassmen looked at Leo and Eiran with puzzled eyes.

 

“Leo. Why is a Seirun student here?”

 

“She came as an exchange student.”

 

“Really?”

 

When a 4th year Knight Academy student asked with a puzzled face, Leo answered calmly.

 

At that answer, the surrounding students showed surprised expressions.

 

While curious gazes were focused on Eiran like that.

 

They arrived at the 2nd year dormitory area, which was quiet since all the students had gone out on missions.

 

“Come to think of it, which dormitory building did the Headmaster say you should stay in?”

 

“Glory. The same dormitory as you, Leo.”

 

Leo nodded and headed toward the dormitory.

 

“Come in.”

 

“Excuse me.”

 

Eiran, who carefully followed Leo back to Glory Dormitory, was amazed.

 

“It’s definitely different from Seirun.”

 

The inside of the dormitory was entirely the students’ space.

 

Especially for 2nd years, there were three dormitories: Harmony, Glory, and Noble.

 

When choosing dormitories, students with similar tendencies gathered together.

 

As a result, not only the individual rooms but also the common spaces were heavily influenced by the students’ preferences.

 

Compared to Seirun, where dormitory rules were strict, it had a very free atmosphere.

 

Leo chuckled at the amazed Eiran and set down the bag in one spot of the dormitory.

 

“Let’s go to the dock.”

 

“Yes!”

 

***

 

Leo and Eiran took a boat and entered Lumeria City.

 

While looking around the streets, Eiran was amazed.

 

“The city people don’t pay much attention to us?”

 

“The people of Lumeria City are used to Lumern students. Since it’s a city that students from other academies also visit occasionally, they don’t make a fuss even when they see you, a Seirun student.”

 

“Come to think of it, I did hear that some of our seniors go to Lumeria City for missions or personal business.”

 

Lumeria City, being a city at the center of the world, is a strategic location in itself.

 

Moreover, being attached to Lumern, it’s famous as a tourist destination.

 

Where people gather, goods also gather.

 

As a result, Lumeria City was also a place where all kinds of rare magical tools gathered.

 

Leo entered Kurazhu Street with Eiran.

 

And as if familiar with it, he entered Lumern’s uniform shop ‘Blessriger’.

 

“Welcome… Oh my. Leo Flobe.”

 

The shop owner looked slightly surprised upon seeing Leo, then soon smiled brightly and bowed.

 

“It’s been a while. Thank you for visiting our shop. What brings you here today?”

 

“I heard the Headmaster ordered a uniform for an exchange student.”

 

“Ah, you’re referring to the uniform for Eiran Eisar, who came as an exchange student from Seirun? We have the production preparations ready.”

 

The shop owner with a kind smile soon greeted Eiran, who was standing beside Leo.

 

“Hello, you must be Eiran Eisar? Thank you for visiting our shop.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“We’ve completed all preparations for making the summer uniform as requested by Lumern’s Headmaster. We’ll start production immediately once we take Eiran Eisar’s measurements. Could you come this way, please?”

 

Eiran nodded and went to the guided location.

 

Then female employees gathered around and took out measuring tapes to measure Eiran’s dimensions.

 

“Excuse me, I understand that Lumern has uniforms for each season.”

 

“Yes, that’s correct.”

 

“Would it be possible to make those uniforms as well?”

 

“Yes.”

 

The shop owner nodded with a smile without asking for a reason.

 

“Why the spring and autumn uniform?”

 

“Since things turned out this way, I wanted to keep it as a memento.”

 

Eiran answered Leo’s question with a shy smile.

 

“Please come back to our shop in two hours.”

 

After finishing the measurements, the shop owner said.

 

“Then shall we leisurely enjoy ourselves for two hours? Eiran, is there anywhere you want to go?”

 

“Hmm. First, I want to go to a famous restaurant in Lumeria City.”

 

Eiran took out a memo from her pocket.

 

And showed Leo the list of restaurants.

 

“I found out in Seirun that the food here is incredibly delicious!”

 

“Did you come here as an exchange student to sightsee instead of study?”

 

“N-no! I’m planning to study hard too! Th-this is, well… Hau!”

 

Flustered by Leo’s words, Eiran covered her face with both hands and answered in a shrinking voice.

 

“S-sorry. I was only thinking about having fun rather than studying.”

 

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. It’s natural to want to have fun at your age.”

 

“I’m embarrassed.”

 

Leo chuckled as he watched Eiran trembling with shame, her ears drooping.

 

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Berkia was always eager to skip training and run away whenever he got the chance.”

 

“Lord Berkia?”

 

Eiran’s eyes widened as she looked up at Leo.

 

“Why? Do you want to hear stories about Berkia?”

 

“Yes!”

 

Looking at Eiran’s sparkling eyes, Leo said.

 

“You’ll be quite disillusioned.”

 

“If it’s the ancestor’s true appearance, I already saw it in Dweno’s world, didn’t I? I came to like that Berkia even more.”

 

“That’s true.”

 

Leo recalled the Berkia he had met in Dweno’s world.

 

“What story should I tell you first?”

 

“The story of when you first met!”

 

“When we first met, huh. Shall we talk about it over lunch?”

 

“Let’s go quickly! Hurry! Hurry!”

 

‘Teacher! Let’s go quickly! Hurry! Hurry!’

 

Excited Eiran grabbed Leo’s hand with both hands and pulled him along.

 

That sight reminded him of the past.

 

“But do you know the way?”

 

“Oh no!”

 

Eiran, who had been walking excitedly, was startled by Leo’s words.

 

Leo smiled gently as he watched her.

 

“You’re alike.”

 

Her appearance was different, and her personality was different too.

 

But Eiran definitely showed glimpses of his disciple.

 

“Huh?”

 

Leo patted the head of Eiran, who looked puzzled, and said.

 

“Just that you’re definitely Berkia’s descendant.”

 

***

 

Eiran hummed a tune after getting her Lumern uniform fitted in Lumeria City and returning to Glory Dormitory.

 

“What’s got you so happy?”

 

“Leo promised to tell me old stories tonight until I get tired of them! Be prepared, tonight you won’t be able to sleep until I’m satisfied!”

 

“Stop reading those strange books. From what I can see, you’re worse than Berkia.”

 

“Huh? What do you mean?”

 

Eiran blinked her large eyes and tilted her head, showing she didn’t understand.

 

Leo clicked his tongue at her innocent appearance.

 

They had dinner in the dormitory lounge with food bought from Lumeria City.

 

Leo assigned Eiran to one of the empty rooms in the female students’ section.

 

After washing up and getting ready for bed, early evening had passed.

 

When he went to the lounge, Eiran in pajamas was placing what looked like a bottle of alcohol on the table.

 

“What’s with the alcohol?”

 

“It’s alcohol made from a recipe left by Lord Berkia that’s been passed down through the Eisar family for generations. I brought it as a gift.”

 

“If it’s alcohol that Berkia knew how to make, it must be Luna’s alcohol, right?”

 

“Huh?”

 

Luna, who loved alcohol, also made her own drinks.

 

Hearing Leo’s words, Eiran’s eyes widened.

 

Leo poured a glass and muttered as if amazed.

 

“It really is Luna’s alcohol.”

 

“R-really?”

 

Eiran’s eyes went wide.

 

“Yeah.”

 

Leo chuckled.

 

Upon hearing it was Luna’s alcohol, even Eiran, who usually had no interest in alcohol, took a sip.

 

“Ahuk!”

 

Eiran grimaced at the strong taste of the alcohol.

 

True to Luna being a heavy drinker, the alcohol she made was also very strong.

 

‘How interesting.’

 

Leo drank the alcohol Eiran brought while reminiscing about the past.

 

Afterward, he told Eiran old stories.

 

In the middle of the storytelling, Eiran asked curiously.

 

“Did you have other disciples besides Lord Berkia?”

 

“I did. The ancestor of the Shan Empire is another disciple of mine.”

 

“Wow. Come to think of it, wasn’t Chen Xia a princess of the Shan Empire?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Then we have a strange connection too.”

 

Eiran smiled brightly.

 

Eiran, who loved stories, listened to Leo’s words with sparkling eyes.

 

Chirp- Chirp- Chirp-

 

And at some point.

 

Eiran, who had been lying on the sofa, suddenly sat up.

 

‘Huh, when did I fall asleep?’

 

It was dawn, before daybreak.

 

She must have fallen asleep without realizing it while listening to stories until dawn.

 

A blanket was covering her body.

 

‘I fell asleep first.’

 

Eiran felt sorry toward Leo and got up from her spot.

 

Leo was sleeping on one of the sofas.

 

Since they had emptied an entire bottle of alcohol while telling old stories, the smell of alcohol was everywhere.

 

As Eiran was covering Leo with the blanket she had been using, she suddenly paused.

 

‘How hard must it be for Leo?’

 

As the Hero of the Beginning, he had been fighting Tartaros for 5000 years and even now after reincarnation.

 

The old stories Leo told throughout the dawn certainly included tales of great heroes.

 

She hadn’t paid attention to it at the time, but she remembered that Leo had drunk particularly heavily whenever he talked about his friends.

 

‘I’m sorry, Leo.’

 

Eiran blamed herself and apologized to Leo inwardly.

 

‘And thank you.’

 

As someone living in this era, Eiran was conveying a small but proper gratitude to Leo while covering him with a blanket.

 

Creak—!

 

“Hik?”

 

Suddenly, the lounge door opened.

 

Eiran, who was also an excellent Mage Knight, was tremendously startled by the person who opened the door while evading her senses.

 

She lost her balance and fell toward Leo.

 

Naturally, Leo woke up from his sleep.

 

“What?”

 

Eiran, who had unknowingly ended up in the arms of the lying Leo, panicked and tried to get up.

 

“S-sorry! Ugh?!”

 

Too shocked, Eiran hurriedly tried to get up but got tangled with the blanket she was holding and unknowingly ended up straddling Leo.

 

“I’m sorry! Leo! I’m sorry!”

 

“…What exactly is this situation?”

 

Chen Xia, who had entered the lounge, asked blankly while looking at Leo and Eiran in their strange position.
