Part 2

As I exhaled a breath of fresh air after slaying the Evil summoned from the past world, Lanael-san came from the sky.

As she landed with a flourish, Lanael-san smiled.

Well, Im glad to see that you have safely returned to this era! Oh, and thank you for the Evil too! Ive returned him safely to his original era!

Y-yes.

As Lanael-sans momentum pushed me along, Yuti, who didnt know her, cautiously asked me a question.

Question. Who is she?

Oh, shes

Yuuya-kun!

Eh?

I was about to introduce Lanael-san to Yuti when I was suddenly approached by a voice.

I looked in that direction in surprise and saw Iris-san coming at me at breakneck speed!

Yuuya-kun, are you all right?

Y-yes, Im fine, but why are you here?

The appearance of an unexpected person surprised me, but Iris-san was not the only one who came.

(Hey, dont just rush off on your own!)

Hah hah Y-youre forgetting Im here, dont you?

(Odis, you should work on your body.)

To my surprise, even Master Usagi and Odis-san showed up.

U-um why are you all here?

As I recalled, Master Usagi and the others were going around telling the other Holys that the Evil had disappeared.

And even though the Evil was gone, the Evil Beast remained, and Im sure they were busy dealing with that as well

Master Usagi then told me with caution.

(Of course, its because we sensed a strong presence of Evil from this place.)

Thats right! Thats why I came here so quickly, thinking that something might have happened to Yuuya-kun!

Ah

I had completely forgotten about it because so much had happened, but that Evil was summoned to this era in the form of replacing me and the Evil of the era in which Sage-san was alive.

I-I am sorry. Im sorry for worrying you about that but its fine now.

All right, you say? Was it Avis? I feel it was a stronger sign of Evil than that one, you know?

You are right. But I managed to do something about it.

What do you mean, managed to?

Iris-san is appalled by my words. But there was really too much going on for me to give a simple explanation.

Then, Iris-san shifted her gaze to Lanael-san.

Oh well. More importantly who is that girl?

W-what is it though Iris-sans mood seems to be slightly prickly

While puzzled, I will try to introduce Lanael-san once again.

Um, this is Lanael-san. Well, its a long explanation

Oh, Ill explain myself from here!

Lanael-san spoke and explained to them that I had been sent to the past world and about the battle between the observers and the false gods that are taking place in the world of the dimension above.

Well, she did not tell me that I had trained with Zenovis-san or that the opponent I had defeated was the Genesis Dragon, which had become a sentinel of the false gods. This was because it would be very difficult to explain such things since the information would have been erased from this world.

Of course, it was an outlandish story, so it should not be so easy to believe

I see. You met him.

Only Ouma-san seemed convinced and nodded quietly.

W-wait a minute! How can the Genesis Dragon easily believe this story? And what is the upper dimension, even before we talk about the past world?

Incomprehensible. I dont understand either

(Was this guy born under a star where if he walks around, hes bound to get into trouble?)

I have a feeling that Master Usagi is now correct.

However, Lanael-san only explained that I had been called to fight in the dimension above and did not mention the contract between Sage-san and me.

Then, Odis-san quietly opened his mouth.

Hmm to summarize, the observers, who are like gods, are fighting a fierce battle with the false gods in the dimension above, and they are taking Yuuya-dono with them as a part of their forces, is that right?

Thats right!

T-then take me with you, too!

Iris-san?

Im going to see him!

Are you an idiot?

Luna was taken aback by Lexia, who was not thinking and was honestly saying what she thought.

You know you should think a little more about your own status. How can a princess move about so easily?

But

And even if you go to see him, it doesnt change the fact that Yuuya has his own life and will soon be away from you.

Then it wont be a problem if Yuuya-sama and I get married!

Theres a big difference, you idiot. First of all, youve already been rejected once, right? Then you should just give up. In exchange, Ill stay by Yuuyas side instead.

Heyyyyyy! I wont allow you to do that!

The soldiers working at the castle laughed at the exchange between Lexia and Luna as if to say, Not again.

After arguing for a while, they sighed again, looking tired.

Hah no matter how much I argue with Luna here, I cant see Yuuya-sama, right?

Naturally. You have a duty as a princess, dont you?

What are my duties as a princess?

No, dont ask me Well, you have a role as a princess in strengthening the bonds between countries and in many other diplomatic ways. Thats what youve been doing since before I became your bodyguard.

Well but I have to go to the academy soon.

Academy?

When Luna tilted her head curiously, Lexia continued tediously.

Yes. Have you ever heard of the Aurelia Academy in the Luminous Empire?

Hmm Ive heard something about it. However, when I belonged to the Dark Guild, I never did any work in the Luminous Empire, so I dont know much about it

The academy is attended by the royalty of various countries and the sons and daughters of nobles. Most of the countrys royalty will go there when the time comes.

Why is that?

For networking, diplomacy, and many other reasons, but in the end, its for the good of the country. Its not a pleasant place to be, as you can imagine.

So youre going there, too?

Age-wise, I guess.

Luna told Lexia, who looked deeply disgusted that she was sorry for him.

I see well, good luck.

Huh? What are you talking about? Youre coming with me too, Luna!

Wha!? Why do I have to go with you?

Youre my escort, arent you? Of course, youre going with me.

I dont want to go to such a troublesome school!

I dont want to go there either! Besides, if I enter the academy, I wont be able to see Yuuya-sama anymore!

For Lexia, the fact that she would have fewer opportunities to meet Yuuya was more unbearable than dealing with nobles and royalty from other countries.

Then, Lexia suddenly looked up as if a revelation had come to her.

Thats right its the academy!

Huh?

Luna was taken aback by the way that Lexia, who had been saying that she hated academy, now exclaimed academy with glee.

Thats why its an academy!

Have you finally lost your mind?

Why? You still dont get it, do you? If we are going to the academy, we should go to the same academy as Yuuya-sama!

Oh

Lunas eyes widened at Lexias completely unexpected statement.

As Mai said, theres no doubt that theres an academy in Yuuya-samas world too! So, I should be studying abroad, not at Aurelia Academy, but at the academy that Yuuya-sama attends on Earth!

T-thats good, but would the king allow such a thing? It is customary for the princesses of this country to go to that Aurelia Academy, isnt it?

Of course, Im going to push through for that!

No way!

Luna was surprised to hear Lexia say that she was just going to push the idea, thinking that she has some kind of plan.

But Lexia also had a good reason.

I was only half joking. Its a school on Earth, you know. Dont you think theres more to learn there than in the Luminous Empire?

T-thats true, but

Its important to learn about this world, but if I could learn about other worlds, I might be able to contribute greatly to the Alceria Kingdom! This should be enough to get my father to forgive me!

Is it going to be that easy?

If not, Ill just push through!

I knew it

Once the desire to attend Yuuyas school had developed in Lexia, there was no longer anything Luna could say that would stop her.

So, lets go to my father right away!

Thus, Lexia and Luna began to move without Yuuyas knowledge.
