“I don’t like it! I really don’t like it!!”
Said a boy with a rough voice, by the entrance to an insectary that was somewhat far from Luminous Academy.
Yuugo smiled awkwardly at this indignant person, Marcos, and tried to calm things down.
“Calm down, Marcos. There’s no reason to be that mad, right?”
“Damn you…! How dare part of the problem so brazenly…!!”
“Calm down, Marcos~. I know how you feel, but jealousy looks ugly in a man.”
“Who’s jealous!? I…! Despite having a friend and rival, he is not only sharing a room with a foreign student he just met, but they are also teaming together and calling each other partner! I merely resent the stupid heartlessness of it all!”
“…That’s what we call jealousy. Geez, you really…”
It seemed Marcos was jealous of the rapidly growing friendship between Yuugo and Ryuuga.
His truly frustrated expression and attitude towards Yuugo left Melt and Angel exasperated, as both let out big sighs.
Yuugo still smiled awkwardly, and tried to soothe things with Marcos.
“Ryuuga’s a good guy. I’m sure you’d become friends with him right away too! Having more friends is always a good thing, so it’s nothing to worry about, right?”
“Yes yes. It would be one thing if they were lovers, but they’re just friends sharing a room, right? Being that grumpy just shows you’re small-minded, and if you really are Yuugo’s number one friend, you should be taking it easy!”
“Nununununu, guguguguu…!!”
Marcos closed his mouth and held in what he wanted to say, as he most likely thought what Melt said made sense.
But he still groaned like something welled up inside him, and the exasperated Angel spoke with a somewhat fed up tone.
“It’s not like I don’t get how you feel, but can you at least zip it for now? If you’re going to be all red like a boiled crab in front of the elementary school kids, you might as well leave now.”
“I know! I’m not foolish enough to show something disgraceful to children!”
“…I don’t know if I can trust that. Are you sure you’re gonna be okay…?”
…We should explain why Yuugo and the others are at an insectary.
This request came directly from Uno, who asked that they accompany elementary students on their field trip.
But they were not there to guide them. They were mainly there to guard the group from Luminous Academy.
There were quite a lot of other students there besides them, making the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
Melt put her hands behind her head as she felt this mood in the air, and spoke to the others, sounding a little stunned.
“The combat miko from Yamato are coming too, right? I guess that’s why they sent so many students as security. I can’t complain about that, but… If they have to do that, why have them accompany the elementary students in the first place?”
“Apparently the Yamato school asked for it. Normally, the elementary students would go to a museum to study history, but… A strong demand over on that side changed it to an insectary.”
“A museum to an insectary…? I dunno what they’re thinking, but not only do both sound boring, but girls don’t like bugs anyway, right? I’d get it if it was a zoo, but an insectary…?”
Angel questioned the sudden change in destination, but Yuugo sort of understood the reason why Yamato had the destination changed.
This was probably out of concern for Yui. As Ryuuga said, she saw souls rather than using her vision. Surely this meant she could grasp more information from living beings than things.
A museum would have things on display, and since Yui could not see their long descriptions, it was doubtful she could read them quickly. Even if she could, it would be quite a big burden.
That must be why they changed it to an insectary, which had living beings, but… As Angel said, would Yui and the combat miko really have such odd interests that they would like to observe insects?
“Well, let’s just focus on our task! If it all goes well, we can check out some stuff with Phi during our break. And it’s a nice opportunity to introduce Ryuuga and Yui to Marcos and An!”
“Hmph…! Where’s that Ryuuga anyway? Didn’t you come together? You’re in the same room…”
“He went to get his sister Yui. And I wanted to talk to you… Hey, there they are. Hey! Ryuuga!”
Yuugo was prompted by Marcos to look around, and waved his hand at Ryuuga when he saw him walking that way.
His partner responded in kind, and brought his sister and Phi to where the others were.
