「Hai, it can heal the wounded arm . 」
The day after the outdoor training, I was summoned again by the principal, Ronald .
I had been severely scolded for blowing the monster summoning flute by Patrick and apologized yesterday .
「You can grow an arm… what’s the story? 」
「Hai, his arm was damaged . 」
When I said that while pointing to my shoulder, Principal Ronald’s face expression was changing, his usually smiling face stiffen .
I know it was a close call . If it slides a little, it might not be his arm but his head .
「Well, that’s about it . How was his Highness party? 」
I asked about the prince and central nobles results of their outdoor training .
「I think Prince Edwin, William-kun, and Oswald-kun are doing reasonably well . 」
「Ah, you mean that they are the only ones who defeat the monsters . 」
It can’t be helped; central nobles are not eager to leveling up . But why Alicia’s name isn’t mentioned? Her light magic is essential for defeating the demon king .
「All the monsters that appeared seems to have been defeated by them . It’s not good, but the people around them are praising them for it . 」
「That’s good, but what is Alicisan doing? 」

She was a commoner but can use light magic, that’s the reason why she can attend the Royal Academy . It’s not necessary to train light magic, but she can’t slack on leveling .
「Like all the others, she hasn’t defeated a single monster . It seems like his Highness and his friends tell her so . 」
「Do you think she’s willing to do that? 」

「Hmm, Alicisan seems not as annoyed as she would have others believe under the protection of his Highness . 」
I sighed when I heard the principal’s answer .
In the academy, Alicia is always hanging out with the capture targets . At this pace, she may not be willing to fight voluntarily .
「Are they together all the time at the school? Also, she said she wouldn’t lose, but what does it mean? 」
「I’m pushing Alicisan to get stronger . Be prepared, she might ask for support . 」
If the time arrives, I’ll just throw her into a dark attribute dungeon . Be happy that the monster that comes out will be in your favor .
Since the day of the outdoor training, my school life has been changed a little . Patrick began to talk to me often .
When we require to get a pair in class, I have no choice but get partnered with him .
「I’m sorry, Patrick-san . You want to be with your friends, right? 」
「Don’t worry, I’m indebted to you . 」
Is this about the injury that I helped to heal? He’s an upright guy .
「Don’t worry about that . And there was a potion, too . 」
「Then, I’ll team up with someone else . 」
「Please take care of the injury that I healed . 」
「This can happen because of you . 」
He’s so friendly that I can lightly bicker with him . Perhaps the best friend I had since I was born in this world .
Since we are in the swordsmanship class, we face each other while holding the wooden sword .
Patrick’s sword movement look amateur, but it’s on point and beautiful . Will those that working for efficiency looks good? It might not be the correct word, but that’s how I describe his training form .

Compared to those, my leveling up would be unsightly and uncouth . Despite I emphasize on efficiency .
「Haa haa, I give up . 」
He seemed to have dropped his wooden sword when I was dodging his sword while my mind was wandering .
「Thank you, partner . 」
Said Patrick while he is trying to regulate his breath .

「I’m not a good partner, and I don’t help much . 」
「No, that’s not true . I use Patrick-san’s swordsmanship as a reference . In terms of skill, I’m nowhere near . 」
I simply rely on my high-level reaction speed and power, so don’t make such expression .
「Do you want to learn swordsmanship? What do you want to fight? 」
Well, now that you mention it… with my current condition, I will still be able to defeat the demon king . Isn’t there no point in getting stronger?
But this world is wide . The world is spreading beyond the game map . I wonder if there’s someone stronger than me .
「Isn’t it like a demon king? 」
「Demon king? Is it true that he will be back in two years? 」
「I don’t know . It’s either Prince Edwin’s delusion or his Majesty concealed it . 」
That’s a lie, and I know the truth .
「I can’t say either of them . 」
Lately, the prince was so awful that he can’t tell it was a lie, that the resurrection of the demon king is Prince Edwin’s delusion .

At the school, he’s playing around with Alicia . Recently, the story about having cakes on the courtyard circulated all over the school .
In this state, is the demon king revival is only the prince’s thoughtless remark? Some say that . Also, the rumor about me being the demon king isn’t going down at all . It seems to get stronger after the outdoor training .
「Doesn’t Patrick-san think I’m the demon king? 」
「First of all, isn’t the demon king a male? And I don’t like that they blame it on the black hair . 」
I looked at Patrick, whose tone get a little stronger, and started talking when he noticed it .
「When I was little, I was worried because of my hair color is close to black . When my relatives start saying that I was dark . My family told me they didn’t care, but I always hated this dark hair . 」
While saying that, he touched his grey hair . If I had to say, I think it was grey and closer to white .
「I think it’s whiteish . 」
「Oh, white? Compared to Yumiela, that’s right .
That’s why I respect you, you had black hair, and you’re so confident about it . And I swear not to despise the color of my hair . 」
Patrick stared at me when he said that . I averted my gaze when it began making me embarrassed .
I thought it was something like a confession . Nope, not at all .
「Thank you . I think Patrick’s grey hair is lovely . 」
「Thanks, I think your black hair is also pretty . 」
When I reached my embarrassed limit in the conversation, I invite him for a mock battle to end the conversation .
「Ah, ano, why don’t we have another fight? 」
「Okay, I don’t mind . 」
When I can’t get my mind to settle, I make a mistake with my strength . As a result, I send Patrick flying .
「I’m so sorry, please forgive me . 」
I frantically apologize while using recovery magic . And I can feel the painful stare from my surroundings .

Patrick opened his eyes and got up . I’m glad that he didn’t lose consciousness .
「I’m fine, and the pain is gone . I’ve always thought that the recovery magic feels comfortable . 」
「It looks bad, though . 」
His face looks bitter when he remembers how his flesh swollen up and his wound recover .
「To be able to use dark magic, Yumiela is amazing . 」
「I’m just lucky . 」
The magic attribute that can be used is sometimes determined when they are born . Denying his words, Patrick shakes his head .
「It is not . If I can use dark magic, I might hide my ability .
Just like with the hair, Yumiela didn’t deny it . It’s not something that I can do . 」
When I heard that, there’s one thing that comes in my mind .
「Was Yumiela able to use dark magic from birth? 」
In the game, it was explained that when Yumiela falls into the darkness, she could use dark magic . But the truth might be different .
At school, in-game Yumiela is hiding her ability to use dark magic . If that’s the case, she must have hated the heroine, who was loved by everyone around her and proudly using her light magic .
「Huh? Yumiela could use dark magic, couldn’t she? 」
I thought about myself in the game when Patrick looked at me strangely, I tell him not to worry .
