The entrance of the magic school, me, Xiaomei and the principal Ethan.
After we finished our regular classes, I decided to take Xiaomei, who will be doing her training at my place.
Take good care of Xiaomei.
"It's fine, but ...... how come there are so many students over there?
Curious, I asked the principal.
Beyond the headmaster, on the grounds of the school.
Hidden in the shadows--so many of them, no hiding at all--they were looking at us.
"They all came here voluntarily. The vice emperor ...... no, they must be jealous of Xiaomei's willingness to be taken personally by his father.
"I see.
Certainly if you look closely, most students have a twinkle in their eye, some are blowing their handkerchiefs in frustration, and some are crying in frustration.
I envy you, huh?
Xiaomei. You are going to study hard.
"Yes! Principal.
After Xiaomei replied, I reached out my hand to her.
Xiaomei timidly took my hand.
Students cheered.
Then let's go!
"Yes.
He took Xiaomei and flew up into the sky with his flying magic.
I slowly jumped out and headed in the direction of the Carlisle mansion so that the other students could see me better.
I gradually increase my speed and Xiaomei squeezes me.
Are you okay? Shall I slow down?
"That's okay,
A panicked Xiaomei .
"I hope it's okay, but yes, you can hang on more to be safe.
Gave Xiao Mei another good excuse, which may be embarrassing to admit to being scared .
"Yes ......
Then Xiaomei's cheeks were shyly colored and she clung to him even tighter than before.
If you might be scared, you shouldn't fly too fast.
I fly at about 70% of my normal speed and slowly return to the mansion.
"Huh?
Finding something to care about, I stopped in mid-air.
"What is it, Mr. Alexander?
"That
Xiao Mei looked where he was pointing.
"Oh, someone's been attacked.
There was a carriage on a very well maintained highway connecting the magic school and the imperial capital.
People on horseback chased it and attacked it.
The horse was killed and the carriage overturned.
Just before it overturned, the riders--two women--began to break free and now they ran away.
It was soon caught up to them.
One was a knight in shining armor, this one was still good.
The other one was dressed like a princess or a lady in fine dress.
The knight, who can't run as fast as she looks, is quickly caught and surrounded by men on horseback.
This is ......
I need to help her.
That's right.
I jumped out again.
I flew to the scene of the attack with Xiaomei, who clung to me more naturally than before.
"Heh-heh-heh..." "Geh-heh-heh-heh-heh..." "What a pain in the ass...
"I'm not openly complaining, either, so don't make me do it too much.
That's as far as it goes, though.
Just before landing, I heard the words and saw the outfit of the attacker.
I thought they were bandits or marauders, but it seems that there's something more to it than that.
