Chapter 159: Beware Of The Red-head (1)
If I recall correctly, the general noble assembly was held over three days.
As it was a meeting being held at the palace, the professors of Tilette also had to be away from the Academy for a while. It was because they, too, were nobles who had received a title before they were an educator.
As such, the Academy was quiet. It was the perfect day for self-directed learning.
Yet here I was downtown. As I walked along the campus streets, the sky was clear without a cloud in sight.
It was good weather for taking a walk. I took leisurely steps with my hands in my trench coat pockets. After a while of looking between the sky and horizon, my eyes shifted to the side.
There stood a girl with red hair.
This girl had crimson eyes that burned more fiercely than her hair color, shining like a well-cut spinel gem. It was evidence that she wasn’t your average smart kid.
The name of this clean-cut lady was ‘Lotte Saliere’, a dear friend who was the first one I’d made after falling into this world.
“Hum, huhum, hum~”
Whatever got her so happy, Lotte was humming like a kid who was visiting an amusement park. Then the song that had been stretching on and on like a taffy stopped abruptly. Lotte had become conscious of my gaze.
Her head turned my way slightly. And as she glanced at me, a smile drew across her lips.
