The beast tamer exiled from the hero’s party and the cat eared girl from the strongest race meet
Kanade and the others moved to another room to change into their uniforms.
Meanwhile, those of us who stayed behind were discussing how to divide up the lessons.
“So then, I’ll handle reading, writing, arithmetic, and things like history, right?”
“Tina is a ghost, so she’s accumulated a vast amount of knowledge. She should be well suited to teaching.”
“I’ll be in charge of art…?”
“Yes. Nokia, I’d like you to teach art. Learning things like that will also increase a woman’s charm.”
“Understood. I like drawing and such, so that won’t be a problem.”
We steadily worked out who would teach what and for how long, but…
“I shall be in charge of physical education.”
“Al, what should I teach?”
“Rain, I want you to support us. Even though we have knowledge, this is our first time teaching others. We may get confused at times.”
“Got it.”
“Besides, everyone will feel more motivated if you’re around.”
“Please don’t use me as bait…”
Soon, the meeting ended, and Kanade and the others returned, having finished changing.
“Nyaa… I think my skirt might be a bit short.”
“Mine doesn’t really fit properly…”
“……”
When I saw everyone in their uniforms, I froze without thinking.
What was it?
The clothes they were wearing had a strange sense of allure—almost a forbidden charm…
There was something oddly captivating about them, and my gaze was irresistibly drawn in.
Wait, what am I thinking!?
“Kuhehe, Rain. It seems you’ve noticed our new appeal?”
“Is that so? Then it was worth dressing like this.”
“Uh… no comment.”
While dodging the topic…
I found myself thinking about something else.
It might be because it was fresh and new, but the fact was—I was captivated by how they looked.
Then…
Could I start seeing them not just as comrades, but as romantic interests too…?
Since I didn’t yet have an answer, I figured I’d have to think about that as well.
“On!”
“Hm?”
“Ha, ha, ha…!”
Sakura lightly bit my clothes and looked at me, as if telling me to look.
When I turned around… there was Sakura, wearing a uniform.
“Sakura, you’re wearing a uniform too…”
“Woof!”
“Uh… yeah, it suits you.”
“Oof!”
Sakura wagged her tail vigorously, clearly delighted.
A dog wearing a uniform is a pretty shocking sight, but…
There was no doubt it suited her.
It felt like Sakura’s cuteness had increased by about thirty percent.
“Alright, then, we shall begin the lesson. Everyone, take your seats.”
Everyone sat down.
On their desks were notebooks and pens.
And at the front of the room stood a large board.
When did this get prepared…?
Was all of this handmade by Al?
Is she… maybe too free on her hands?
That thought crossed my mind as I imagined her recreating something like a private academy.
“Good, everyone’s ready. Now, before we begin, let’s introduce the instructors.”
First, Nokia stepped onto the platform.
By the way, the platform itself had somehow appeared as well.
Maybe Al was the meticulous type.
“I’m Nokia. I’ll mainly be teaching art.”
Next, Tina stepped forward.
“I’m the magical miracle maid, Tina-chan! I’ll be—”
“Rain, Tina’s too small to see!”
“Don’t call me short!?”
Today, Tina was in doll mode.
If she isn’t moved periodically, problems apparently arise in her joints, so she sometimes switches into doll mode even at home.
“And now, the star of the show—me!”
Al flailed her arms and legs dramatically, striking a flashy pose.
“I am the eternally fourteen-year-old, pretty and cute Al-chan!”
“……”
The air froze solid.
“W-What’s with that reaction…? I was just fooling around a little…”
“Mother…”
“That’s not okay…”
Her two daughters looked deeply embarrassed by their mother’s outrageous behavior.
“Nyaa… that’s way too much age-cheating.”
“My mom’s like that too, so I can’t say much, but… ‘pretty and cute’ is a bit much.”
“Such a shame.”
“That’s… extremely subtle. So subtle it’s hard to comment.”
“I don’t think I can say anything at all.”
“U-um… m-maybe it doesn’t not suit you…?”
“Oof…”
Everyone looked at her with pity—no, with sympathy.
Receiving those looks, Al took a step back, flustered.
“S-Stop it! Don’t look at me like that…”
“Staaaaare.”
“Stoooop itttt!!!”
