Chapter 125.2

“Why are you here?”
“I was told to have someone escort you.”
The man who had picked me up from the campus felt like sighing a little at the girl who spoke so nonchalantly.
The man’s name was Feld. His height was close to 190 cm, and he was large and muscular, so even in his fine everyday clothes, he stood out oddly in the school.
In contrast, the girl in front of him was a student at the school, and at around 160 cm tall, she was average for an adult woman, but her slender frame made her look smaller than usual.
If the two were to stand side by side, they would look like an adult and a child. It was no wonder, then, that this young girl – Aria – who was only a twelve years old, despite looking like a full-grown adult, was still a child.
“…Well, okay.”
Aria was one of Feld’s companions in the adventurer party Rainbow Sword.
Aria and her self-proclaimed mentor, Viro, were commissioned by the royal family to escort Her Royal Highness the Princess around the academy.
Aria injured her leg on that mission and was sentenced to bed rest, but she needed her gear to be delivered for maintenance, and was told by the school’s healer to have someone escort her, so she contacted Feld.
It was hard to believe that this girl, who was expressionless and the embodiment of loneliness, would have any decent friends. Many would have been willing to be her friend, but few would have any ulterior motives.
