Part 2

A few days after the shopping trip with Lexia-san and the others.

Thanks to Kaoris efforts to talk to Tsukasa-san about the transfer and to follow up on the procedures, it was officially decided that Lexia-san and Luna would be studying at our school.

After that, just as with Yuti, Lexia-san and Luna also acquired the [Language Comprehension] skill under Kaoris guidance before they started their school life.

As for speaking the language, apparently due to the effects of the [Doorway to Another World], it was not a problem from the start, so all they had to do was to learn to read and write.

Thinking about it, I tried to find out more about the door before Lexia-san and Luna came to visit, but I put it off until later. I need to look into it properly eventually.

And so the preparations proceeded smoothly, and finally, it was the first day of their study abroad program.

At first, Lexia was ready to study in the same class as Yuuya, but because of her age, she ended up in middle school. She cried and ended up in the same class as Yuti.

On the other hand, Luna, being the same age as Yuuya, was placed in the same class as him.

No fair, no fair, no fair! I want to be in the same class as Yuuya-sama too!

Hmph youd better give up like a grown-up.

Mukiii! Why is Luna in the same class as Yuuya-sama?

Thats because we are the same age. Oops, that means Lexia is going to be my junior.

Kiiiiii!

After being teased a bunch, Lexia looked seriously frustrated, but in the end, she managed to swallow the reality of the situation and found her own satisfaction.

This cant be helped. Besides, being a junior means that Yes! I can call Yuuya-sama Yuuya-senpai! Thats just great!

Lexia was positive to no end.

After this agonizing rebuttal, the two students decided to go to their classes, and it was their first day of school.

Hi, everyone. Take your seats!

Yanagi-sensei, who had been assigned as Yutis and Lexias homeroom teacher, asked the students to sit down in a calm tone.

Before we start homeroom, Id like to introduce you to a foreign student who will be joining us today.

!?

Yutis classmates were astonished at the completely unexpected situation.

A foreign exchange student! I wonder what kind of student it is?

I wonder if the foreign student will have different hair color like Yuti-san

Im looking forward to it!

While each student was looking forward to the discussion, Yutis friend Haruna called out to Yuti in an excited tone.

Hey, hey! Sensei said it was a foreign exchange student! As a fellow foreigner, are you curious about it too, Yuti-san?

Hmm? Negative. I already know.

Eh? D-do you already know the person who is coming today?

Affirmative.

What kind of

Yes, come in then!

The moment Haruna was about to ask Yuti a series of questions, a female student came into the classroom after receiving a signal from Yanagi-sensei.

That student had beautiful overflowing blonde hair and clear azure eyes, and the Ousei Academy uniform fits her well.

Seeing such a studentLexia, Yutis class fell silent.

Overwhelmed by Lexias presence, the silence continued, and Lexia bowed gracefully without seeming to mind it.

Nice to meet you. I am Lexia von Arcelia. There is still a lot I dont know about this country, but I look forward to learning with you.

Then, raising her head, Lexia added as if remembering something.

Ah, also! Yuuya-sama, who is in high school, is my fiance! Best regards to you

Eh.

The class froze at the words told so casually.

And then.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh!

A loud voice echoed through the middle school building.

Hmm!? W-whats that? It seems like a terrible misunderstanding just occurred somewhere

Today is Lexia-san and Lunas first day of study in Japan.

At least, there seemed to be no information about Lexia-san and Luna in the high school yet, and as the morning hours passed by as usual, I was struck by a strange chill.

While I was twisting my neck because I had no idea what the chill was, Sawada-sensei entered the class.

Alright, Id like to start homeroom, but theres actually a new transfer student coming into this class.

Eehh?

By the way, the transfer student is a foreigner and an exchange student as well.

Eehhhh?

The sudden information about the foreign student caused a stir in the class.

T-transfer student

How can I put it? There seems to be a lot happening since Yuuya-kun?

I was surprised at the time of Merl-sans arrival.

I wonder what kind of student is coming?

Its a foreigner, isnt it? Its rareand so was Merl-san.

I-it just happened?

Is that too harsh an excuse?

Rin gave me a puzzled look when I managed to squeeze out an answer.

That being said, I cant talk about the other world and have no way to explain it.

Then, Luna dropped another bomb, wondering what she would think when she saw Kaedes astonished look.

By the way, Yuuya and I have quite a deep relationship.

D-d-d-d-deep relationship!?

Luna-san!

Why do you talk in such a confusing way?

Its true that we trained together in the Great Devils Nest in the other world, but you dont have to say it like that!

When I looked at Kaede, it seemed as if her soul had been drained from her mouth, as if she had been burned out, but everyone elses reaction was different.

A-as expected of Yuuya-kun I didnt know you had already made a move on Luna-san

Well It cant be helped if its Yuuya; I guess its understandable

Kuh! Im so jealous For you to have such a deep relationship with a beautiful silver-haired girl!

Um, its a misunderstanding! Everyone has misunderstood me!

I desperately tried my best to speak up and clear up everyones misunderstandings.

Perhaps it was because of this that by the end of the break, everyone seemed convinced that Luna and I didnt have that kind of relationship.

In the end it was only that some people, such as Kaede, still seem to have doubts about it

I-Im tired

Mm you dont have to deny it so desperately, do you? Its really hurting me too.

Oh, I-Im sorry! But it would be a problem for Luna if such misunderstandings were to occur.

I dont know what she meant by that comment, but it must have been a nuisance to Luna if someone thought of her as my lover.

That low self-esteem is really Yuuyas bad point.

Eh?

Its nothing. Anyway! Since Yuya is the senior here. Youre going to teach me a lot, okay?

O-okay.

The class became lively again after welcoming Luna as a foreign exchange student.

Homeroom was over, and it was time to go home.

Just as we were about to leave, Sawada-sensei announced something to the class as if she had just recalled something.

Oh, yes, thats right. Recently, there have been some suspicious incidents here and there in the vicinity of the school, so be careful not to get involved. If you do encounter anything suspicious, be sure to call your teacher, okay?

Suspicious incidents?

I twist my head, not knowing what she is talking about, and Yukine tells me.

Recently, there have been some strange incidents in the city, such as buildings being damaged and things that were supposed to be there disappearing. Have you heard about it?

I-Ive never heard of that before. But that means theres someone who did it and it was done by that suspicious person, right?

I think so too, but they havent come up with any evidence. The area that was also damaged had surveillance cameras installed, but nothing was caught on camera, and yet only things were stolen.

T-that kind of thing cant be true

How can something be stolen and the surveillance cameras dont even show the culprit?

No way, youre saying its the work of a ghost?

Then Merl thought the same thing and denied it with an impatient look.

I-I cant believe in such an unscientific existence. There is no such thing as a ghost!

Merl may want to deny the existence of ghosts, but both Merl and I have encountered real ones in the amusement parks haunted house. I was really surprised at that time

Well, there are people from the other world and aliens, so its not so much of a surprise if you think about it calmly.

As I involuntarily look away, Yukine turns her gaze toward me.

So, Im going to investigate this mysterious phenomenon what do you think?

M-mysterious phenomenon? And youre looking into it?

Since its a big deal, why dont you and Merl-san and Luna-san join me and look into it together?

M-me too!?

Hmm thats fine, but why me too?

Luna has not yet become that close to Yukine, so she seems to be questioning the fact that she was invited.

Since you live in the same house as Yuuya, I was wondering if it would be better for us to work together. Besides, in order to investigate this mysterious phenomenon, we will look around various places in the city, and Luna-san probably doesnt know that much about this city yet, so Ill serve as your guide as well.

I-I see.

It is true that Luna has only been in this world for a short period.

In that sense, I was grateful that we could look around the city together, regardless of whether or not we seriously investigate the mysterious phenomenon.

If thats what you mean, Id be grateful too. However, may I invite someone else to join us?

Ah, Lexia-san?

Yes. It would be very noisy if she found out that I left her and went out with you.

Hahaha

I could easily imagine Lexia-san complaining about it, and I couldnt help but let out a wry smile.

Yukine nodded to Lunas words.

Its okay, anyway, lets call on others, and we can all look around the city together.

In this way, Yukine called out to various people, and as a result, the usual group of people, such as Kaede, Rin, Ryo, and Shingo-kun, gathered together.
