25. Sequel -Transfer Student-
[T-That was scary......]
After that, Ayame entered her room and said those words.
This is because the intimidating air by Iwato made her to realized that he can really defeat a Sacred Beast class with a blow. She was scared to the extent of not being able to even speak.
『Don't anger the black haired boy』
That was the words said by her boss in Tokyo.
Iwato looks gentle usually, but he's terrifying if he's mad.
To be honest, she have not seen anything scarier than him since born, and even if she was told that the angry Iwato can destroy a country by himself, she would believe it.
Ayame thinks so and wipes her tears, and--
[Oh my! What's wrong, Ayame-chan?]
[......Eh?]
She was called out by Minister Kanekura who was in the room.
[M-Minister Kanekura.........E-Eeeeeeeeh!? W-W-Why are you here!?]
A fair argument.
After all, this is Ayame's room. And also, this room was properly locked, and above all, the security of the Special Forces dormitory is flawless. And yet, Minister Kanekura somehow is in the room.
It's a horror.
[Why......I wonder why?]
Like I know.
Ayame somehow swallowed those words that she wanted to say, and sighs upon looking at the airhead superior's words. And, she tries to get away from the room--
[Ayame-chan, you made Iwato mad, didn't you?]
Twitch!
Ayame's body became stiff after hearing Minister Kanekura's words.
--Why do you know about it?
Ayame wanted to asked so at once, but Minister Kanekura began to speak of the reason.
[Well, Iwato just now sent me a mail saying 『I overdid it, so help me apologize to her』! I became too happy by that it's been a long time since the last mail, so I came to thank you, Ayame-chan!]
(TL note: Kanekura referred herself as Okaasan which means Mother in the second sentence.)
Although Ayame somewhat heard something weird in those words, she opened her eyes wide after hearing the message sent from Iwato.
[Eh? I-Iwato-sama......No, Iwato-san said that......?]
[That's right~. You were convinced that Iwato was the King of Black Coffin, and you call him with that name, right? That's why, Iwato got angry because he hates the King of Black Coffin]
[I-Is that so!?]
Although it can be understood just by thinking it a little, for Ayame who thought of Iwato as scary if he's angry, she only knew it after she's told.
It's just like someone repeatedly insulting the King of Black Coffin in front of her.
When thinking so, she finally realizes Iwato's mental strength to the extent that he didn't show his emotions on the surface, and his tolerance of solving things with words.
On top of that, he apologizes like this even after that. Normally, it should be awkward.
After Ayame thought of that, she started to think that she was the one at fault, and she drop her shoulders.
[I'm......to blame. I don't remember how many times I said that person's name in front of Iwato-san, and I called him the King of Black Coffin at the very beginning]
[Oh, and yet he didn't get angry? Iwato has grown up]
--If it's 3 years ago, he would have half killed a person just by being called as that.
Minister Kanekura somehow swallowed those words, and talks to Ayame.
[Well, I won't blame you because you didn't know about Iwato. And, I think that Iwato who got angry is also at fault. But still, Ayame-chan is the cause]
[Ugu......Y-Yes]
Ayame groaned instinctively by Minister Kanekura's words, but she opened her eyes wide by the words after that.
[And also, Ayame-chan, you were saved by Iwato, right? From the Black Crest Group. And--responsibility]
Those words dragged out the guilty conscience to the surface from her heart.
Ayame head towards the Black Crest Group on her own. And, she decided to wait at the park to keep away the danger from the people. As a result, she was protected by Iwato.
There's two meaning in the word 『Protected』. The first one is literally, she was 『protected』 after misread the opponent's numbers. She would probably lose if she fought.
And the second one is she was 『protected』 from the responsibility of moving independently and failing to prevent the fire at the park.
If Iwato didn't appear there, they probably would set fire to the park first. And that responsibility will surely fall onto Ayame herself.
And, Ayame apologized while knowing the fact. She prioritized her own desire before showing gratitude. As a result, she haven't apologize nor showing gratitude.
Ayame thought like this in her heart in this present condition.
(As if......This is just like......)
Thinking so, and Minister Kanekura said what Ayame thought.
[This is just like the situation at that time, right?]
--That time.
When she met the King of Black Coffin for the first time and was saved.
She became stiff and was unable to thank him. As a result, she's still looking for him.
Ayame thought--Am I going to repeat the same mistake again?
No. I'll never repeat the same mistake again.
Ayame closes her eyes.
It's not the figure of Black Pandora that came into her mind, but the back figure of the Black King with his Coffin Cloak.
[I will go to the Nagumo's house once more]
[Oh? You don't want to search for Black Pandora? I might give you a hand because I'm feeling good now]
Ayame suddenly laughed after hearing Minister Kanekura's words.
There's no hesitation in her expression, and she said this boldly to Minister Kanekura.
[A young girl who lacks of politeness, has no qualification to meet Black Pandora-sama. Besides, for me, he and that person, are the same......]
--Above all, she completely didn't doubt that Iwato-sama is the King of Black Coffin.
Ayame laughs as she said so, and turns around.
Minister Kanekura who saw her back figure loosens her face and laughs. Then, she calls out to her.
[Ayame-chan, don't you want to go to school again?]
