Otomege Volume 4 Extra Story Extra Story – Leon’s Foreign School Life
I never thought that I would study abroad in my second life .
I was walking alone in the academy of Alzer Commonwealth .
Unfamiliar uniform .
Unfamiliar school building .
Even the smell of the foreign land felt different .
This smell forced me to notice whether I wanted it or not that I was in a foreign country .
──I want to go home to my home country quickly and have a tea party with my fiancées .
I was invincible now that I had been liberated from the marriage hunting .
If it was now I had the confidence that I could enjoy the life in the academy .
And yet, right now I was in the middle of studying abroad──how could I enjoy myself like this?
「Aa~, I want to go home quickly」
『It has only been several days since master come here . Your wish is obviously impossible . 』
It was my partner Luxion who answered my muttering seriously .
He was replying to my joke with sarcasm too today .
『Master shouldn’t come here if you don’t want to . 』
「I wish that I can do that instead of going through all these hardships . 」
If only that otome game didn’t have a sequel, I wouldn’t need to go to an academy at a foreign country .
In my past life I was the type of human who would go 「Studying abroad? Not interested」 .
That thinking hadn’t changed even after I reincarnated .
I couldn’t enjoy going abroad to study at all .
「To begin with there isn’t any chance for me to hold a tea party here . Even though I’ve painstakingly brought my tea set here, there isn’t any chance to use them . This is just strange . 」

『Master is still going on about tea party?』
「Obviously! That’s my hobby . 」
I was awakened to a new hobby after meeting master .
It was tea .
You gathered tea set, prepared tea leaves and snacks, then entertained your guest .
I made fun of it at first, but after that I would hold a tea party once a week when I was at Hohlfahrt .
At most I would invite three people to my tea party .
Inviting girls who I were close with and having pleasant chat with them was my modest enjoyment .
But I couldn’t open such tea party in this academy .
「──I want to go home . 」
『Master want to go home just because of tea? Then how about master just invite some girls from here?』
「You moron! I can’t invite other girls when I already have fiancées!」
『Why is master’s thought going to girls right away there? Master can also invite boys . 』
「No way . I don’t have friend here anyway . 」
I still didn’t have friend because I had only arrived in this country .
『──There are Marie, Julius, and the others . 』
「No~, that’s hard to do . Marie is my little sister in my past life . As for Julius and others──they aren’t my friends, they are just a troublesome bunch . That’s not what you call friends . 」
『I am really happy to have a master who have few friends . 』
This guy’s personality was really a piece of work from how he was teasing me for my lack of friends like this .
──He is quite human even though he is an AI . He is hopeless .
「Forget about that, we got a lot to──oops」

There were female students walking to my direction from ahead in the corridor .
They were holding some items on their hands .
Luxion melted into the surrounding and vanished from view . Then I called out to the girls approaching me .
The girls were looking bewildered . ──In the kingdom’s academy, it was the boys’ role to immediately lend a hand if you happened to see some girls having their hands full .
The attitude toward girl that had been imprinted on me through the one year I spent in the kingdom’s academy showed up even in the academy here .
「Those looks heavy . I’ll help out . 」
The girls looked at my face in surprise .
If this was in the kingdom──the girls of the academy there would generally reply with 「Haa? Why are you speaking something so obvious? Take off these things already from our hands」 .
The boys would still have to help them even after receiving such ungrateful reply . That was my daily life back in the kingdom’s academy .
Surely the girls in the academy here would also give me a horrible reply as befitting the world of that otome game . That was what I thought .
The girls were looking shy .
「Eh, you will?」
「This person, is her perhaps the overseas student?」
I took the burdens from the two girls a bit forcefully . They were looking embarrassed when I asked them where to bring these things to .
──What is this? Their behavior is strange .
They weren’t hurling abuse at me!?
「Never mind that, where should I bring these things to?」
The two girls looked shy while── .
「Ah, we have to bring them to the staff room . It was really heavy and difficult to carry . Thanks for helping us . 」
「You are a big help . Thank you . 」
──Thanking me .

I couldn’t hide my shaken expression .
My movement stopped for a moment, causing the two girls to be worried for me .
「Are you alright?」
「Don’t force yourself if they’re too heavy . 」
My understanding of the matter was delayed for a moment, but I finally realized that this was the commonwealth, not the kingdom .
There was no lover that was guised as exclusive servant accompanying the girls in this academy .
They weren’t acting haughty while looking down on boys .
Such a normal──academy, it was like a heaven for me .
「I-I’m fine! This much is no problem at all . Come on, let’s deliver them quickly . 」
The two girls smiled .
「You’re a big help . The boys in our class will run away from this kind of thing . 」
「You overseas students are really gentlemanly . 」
I was praised? Could it be, they were praising me?
I was praised just for doing something like this . Was this academy a heaven!?
If the kingdom’s academy where I got insulted even after helping was a black company, then perhaps the academy here was white?
「You girls are exaggerating . This is just a normal thing to do . 」
I told them with a smile, but the two girls gave me words of flattery in response .
「You overseas student are kind . 」
「I wish the boys here will learn from you . Ah, come to think of it we haven’t asked your name . What is it again?」
I introduced myself with my best posed look .
「I’m Leon . Leon Fou Bartfalt . Just call me Leon without any honorific . 」
Then the two girls happily── .
「Got it . Thanks for your help, Leon . 」
「Leon eh . That’s a good name . 」
──Conversed with me eagerly . Eagerly!
They weren’t replying with 「Uh huh . And?」 when I introduced myself!
I──got the feeling that I would be able to enjoy my time in this academy .
I kept walking toward the staff room while having a fun talk with the two girls . Then Luxion muttered from nearby .
『──Master looks like you’re having a lot of fun . 』
I replied with a small voice .
「Yeah, it looks like I’ll be able to enjoy my time here . I’m──glad I went to study overseas . 」
I got the feeling that I would be able to experience a fun school life if it was here .
『I will report to those two if master is cheating . Angelica and Olivia, both of them will be sad if that happens . 』
──I’m just having a casual talk here! When you think about my grey school life before this, no one shouldn’t be able to blame me just for having a bit of fun!
『I think it will be for master’s own sake to get harshly scolded by those two at least once . 』
This guy really didn’t think of his master as master .
「I should be forgiven from just having a bit of fun . Yes──this isn’t cheating . This is cultural exchange between students of different countries . 」
I muttered with a small voice to convince myself .
I was convincing myself that there wasn’t anything wrong with my thinking .
『I’m looking forward whether those two will really forgive master or not after hearing that excuse . 』
This guy was really detestable .
──Livia and Ange would surely allow me this much!
Perhaps, surely──I hope they would forgive me .
