Iris' POV
After parting with Nozomu and the others, we were heading to our classroom, the 1st classroom. Next to me, my best friend talks to me as if she was betrayed.
"Ai ~~. Why didn't you help me ~~"
In front of me, My best friend criticized me with tears for not helping her. Well, it can't be helped, I can't get into her assistance every time. By the way, when I couldn't help her in the past, Tima's magic, running wildly because of her mental strain, had blown away the other party.
"Well, everyone was there at that time. And it was Mars who helped Tima with all his might, right? Tima was also feeling really happy isn't it?"
I give a mean reply. I'm sure my face also has a mean smile. Tima, who is the person in question, said, "Ermm, that is......... uu," and looked down with a bright red face.
I still think that Tima is cute, and I envy her honestly.
Perhaps because I've been trying to protect Somia since I was little, my language is manly and a little rough. Regardless of my appearance, I have no inner femininity. I'm no match for my best friend, who is bashful in front of me, and it's the same for Somia, who is adorable like an angel.
(He also ... would a woman like Tima be better?)
I remember "him" who parted ways earlier. Recalling that he was hiding something, my chest feels stuffy.
(Good grief, why he didn't tell me at all ...)
*grumble grumble grumble*
An indescribable discomfort swirls in my chest. Perhaps because I remembered that he was hiding something, my facial expression has unknowingly become stiff.
"Ai, calm down. I also got angry at that time, but because Nozomu-kun is such a boy, and if I think that my friends may feel unpleasant because of me, It can't be helped to hide it, right? "
"... I know ..."
Although I understand it in words, as a matter of fact, my mood isn't going to get better yet. Because of the irritation that I couldn't understand myself, my steps toward the classroom naturally became quick and rough.
"Yo. Irisdina"
"... Kevin?"
I was suddenly called out in the hallway in front of the classroom by a male student. A sturdy body, tall stature, and well-trained muscles pushed the uniform tightly, but there was no excess flesh.
The most distinctive feature was that his head and waist have ears and a tail, which was proof of a beastman.
Kevin Ardinal.
One of the few students who belong to the first class of the first year and have reached rank A.
He is a silver wolf beastman and overwhelms his opponent with his outstanding fighting sense and physical ability.
Originally, the Silver Wolf tribe has the highest physical ability among the beastmen, but his fighting sense is particularly high among them, and in close combat, in the school, no enemy could match him except the S-rank Jihad Raundel.
"I heard about yesterday. I heard you were with the "bottom" somewhere. I'm curious, such a useless thing would be nothing more than a waste of time."
"......... No matter what you think about him, I have nothing to talk. I wonder how can your mouth speak something like that so easily."
Kevin's words and actions are so rude that my expression becomes even harder.
However, Kevin ignored my feelings and approached me. Considering that he is a man, he is tall and bends down, and brings his face closer.
"He~, even your angry face is still beautiful. I received a request for subjugation in the forest today, how about you lend me a hand? It would be very helpful if you were there."
"... Sorry, I have something else to do today. Ask the other."
I dismissed Kevin's conversation, which was too impolite, and inconsiderate. I passed by him and entered the classroom. Certainly, dangerous beasts should be subdued if necessary, and by doing so keeps the beasts away from the settlements and towns. It can also be seen that unnecessary battles can be avoided. As a result, the damage to people without ability is reduced.
At least I don't want to fight with someone like Kevin who speeches and conducts showing contempt to another person in a straightforward manner. I absolutely don't want to leave my back to such a person.
At the very least, the person I can trust my back to must be a reliable partner in various aspects such as spirit and ability. Otherwise, there is a good chance of falling into the worst-case scenario.
(Leave my back ... is it? Can I have such a partner someday?)
To entrust your back in a battle means to entrust your own life and also to taking care of the other person's life.
(I wonder, what about Nozomu?)
I remember a boy with a katana.
He was the first person to come up with when I was thinking about the person who would take care of my back.
The boy I'm most interested in right now.
A male student who has been insulted as the worst human being.
I still don't know what he thought and how he gained that strength.
Considering what he was doing the day after the Rugato incident, I could have expected that something would have happened, but since then he hasn't seemed to reveal his heart.
I know it can't be helped. He has no one that he can talk to, and I don't want to force him to tell me.
(However, if he protects my back ... and if I also protect Nozomu's back ...)
Protect each other. Back-to-back on the battlefield where life can be lost. We are connected with each other with unwavering trust and overcome the difficulties in front of us. And even if we die, we share the same time until the last moment.
If I could have such a relationship with him for a moment in the end, no matter how ………….
(... Wha, what was I thinking about .........)
My face naturally turns red and my body becomes hot. A small and light *badump, badump* began to scream behind my bountiful chest that pushed up the white uniform, and I naturally put the hand that was connected to him on that day's date on my chest.
"Hmm?"
I suddenly felt a gaze, when I looked at the side, a red-haired female student was looking at me.
"She is……"
When the female student who was looking at me met my eyes, she quickly averted her eyes away, took out the textbooks from her bag, and started preparing for the lesson.
***
The infirmary at lunch break.
Here, Nozomu and Mars were waiting for Irisdina and others.
Because Irisdina came to the 10th classroom and made a fuss before, it was decided that from now on they would have lunch here where there are only a few people.
"Iris and the others are a little late."
