I though that a pessimistic NEET Kaede would be safe, but she was a lesbian.

As proof of this, she didn't even say hello to Nicole, the guy who joined us later for lunch, and showed no interest in him, and she kept trying to touch Nene's body like crazy.

I made sure to protect Nene breasts and buttocks, though.

The next day, I told Nene about it when she was about to enter the classroom.

「Listen, Nene, she's dangerous.」

「Is that so? I think Kaede-san is a rather kind and gentle person, but...」

「No, no, no, she's a beast. She just wears sheep's clothing.」

「Huh?」

「All she cares about is having sex with you, that's all.」

「Huh? Hmmm... Speaking of which, when it was just the three of us in the classroom, My [Empathy☆] caught a voice that wanted to commit a immoral action ?on me. If that wasn't Alec-san, then I guess it might be. ......」

「Hmm, well, it's a little unclear what I'm thinking when I'm sleeping. Now, of course, I'm thinking I'd like to licking you.」

「Hawawa, no, you can't do it. Then again, maybe I'm just reading Alec-san thoughts.」

「Anyway, just be careful. Don't be alone with her, okay?」

「I understand. I'm belong to Alec-san.」

「Mmm.」

The petite and cute girl makes a fist with both hands and strongly declares that she belongs to me. That's good. It's a situation that makes me want to push her over.

「Good morning, Nene!...and sigh, whatever the hell Alec is.」

It's Kaede. The tone of her voice as well as her facial expression changed, and hier sigh was mixed with a disgusted "why are you here" to me.

「You're too obvious, your attitude is.」

「What's wrong with that? I don't need to be lectured by a lolicon who even touches young children.」

「Yes, there is. If you try to mess with Nene, I'll be your enemy. Just remember that.」

「Tsk. ......」

Clucking her tongue and frowning, Kaede didn't seem to want to have a go at me.

But that doesn't mean she won't try her hand at it when I'm not around.

「I'm sure there are plenty of other girls out there.」

「I only eat cute girls!」

Kaede says, clenching her fists, but it's a complete declaration of yuri. And she's not the stoic one, she's the one who's up to no good in many ways.

「Good morning~, hey hey, what are you talking about? What kind of food is cute-girl?」

Marilyn spotted us in the hallway and came over to us, but she's old enough to know better, so I'll tell her the truth.

「Marilyn, eating here is sex. Kaede is a lesbian, and she likes sex between girls.」

「...... Eeehhh!? Eeehhhh!?」

「Too much of a surprise. Also, Alec, come on,?outing, can you please stop?」?(TLN: I don't know what outing is, maybe telling around your secret?)

「Shut up, if you want me to hide it, say so first. That's what you get for reaching up Nene's ass.」

You didn't even try to hide it from me. I'm not outing you.

「Hmph. ...... Well, that was just a light joke. It's all Alec's lies. Okay? Marilyn.」

「Ehh―?」

Kaede tried to make it look like a joke, but Marilyn was suspicious.

Well, I guess she deserved it.

「By the way, Kaede, do you like Marilyn?」

「Yes, I do. I specialize in loli, but I can handle a beautiful, lively girl my age.」

You criticize lolicon, but you specialize in loli. ...... Don't do it, Kaede.

And while she call it a specialty, I didn't realize that she also allow non-specialists of the same age.

「Well, then, I don't mind if you eat her. I'll have some later.」

「I don't have a choice. Well, I'm fine as long as I get to eat a virgin.」

「H-hey! I don't know what you're talking about, but you both just made a very black agreement, right?!」

Marilyn asked impatiently, but don't worry. It's not like we're in a rape alliance.

「Not really. Now, class, class.」

Kaede walked into the classroom as if nothing had happened.

Come to think of it, she seems to know a lot about the teachers at this school.

「Kaede, I'd like to ask you if you know of any professors who know more about ...... cursed items and how to dispel them.」

「Cursed item? Did you equip something? Or is it to set someone up?」

Kaede asked me back, but I don't like the idea of using it to set someone up.

「No, I didn't equip it, but there was a guy in my party who equipped the cursed armor.」

「Then why don't you go to the temple?」

「I've already tried that. The curse was too strong and it didn't work.」

As a matter of fact, as soon as I returned to the Kingdom of Vernia, I had asked Saki to take the "Mad King" to the temple, but it didn't go well.

「An expert in curses? ...... No, I've never heard of them. But I'm sure our homeroom teacher would know something about it.」

「That's true, too. All right. Thank you with one Marilyn.」

「Oh, one Marilyn.」

「Hey! I told you not to make any weird arrangements without my knowledge!」

「Okaay~, good morning, everyone. Please take your seats. Let's have another day of fun and cheerful lessons!」

Our homeroom teacher, Caroline-sensei, had just walked in. I know what I'm doing, so I'm not going to ask any questions here.

If you have a personal question, you can ask her after the class is over.

「So, let's learn about mana today. Mana is an invisible mysterious power that exists in this world. If you are aspiring to become a magician, you have at least heard of it, right? It can be thought of as an effect of the Force rather than the material itself. According to our wise and honorable predecessor, the great Magician Levi Crowley, the "magician of the dead"――」

「Fugah!?」

I woke up with a jolt, but it seems I had fallen asleep before I knew it.

I checked the [Time] skill, but it was already lunchtime.

「Are you finally awake? What on earth are you doing in school?」

Kaede, who was still in the classroom, propped her elbows on her desk and said with a dumbfounded look on her face.

「I told you so. I'm here for a reason.」

「No, you didn't tell me. I've never heard of it.」

「Then remember this. Class is secondary.」

「What's the purpose, ......Well, okay, let's go to the cafeteria before we run out of time to eat lunch.」

「Right.」

Kaede and I have a gentleman's alliance of 'don't mess with my girl', so there's no need to be evil.

We'll have a meal with my party with Serina and the others.

「Alec, I found out who Erwin's advisor is. It's Professor Slayley.」

Seems like Serina has been asking around.

「I see. Then I guess we can ask him about Erwin's specialty.」

「Okay, I'm going to his lab after school today. Do you want to come with me?」

「Sure. Let's do it.」

「Hmm. Erwin. I heard he's a genius who graduated first in his class last month. That sounds interesting. Can I come with you?」

Kaede, who usually looks languid, has shown interest, ...... but she's a lesbian, so I'm guessing she's after Serina.

「No, you don't have to come.」

「Ehh?」

「Hey, Alec. She's your classmate, isn't she? You don't have to be mean to her.」

Serina, who didn't know anything about it, was okay with it. If it's between women, even if something happens, there's no harm done.

「Then do what you want.」

「Thanks. Fufufu.」

「Kaede!」

「Ah, it's Ani.」?(TLN: Ani = Brother)

I looked at the man who called Kaede loudly, but he was a stocky, muscular man, not at all like the slightly slender Kaede.

He had blond hair, but this one had black hair.

I'm pretty sure his name is ...... the head of the dormitory――No, but I can't remember. I'll have to check it out.

【Name】 Alfred von Craig

【Age】 21

【Lv】 28.

【Class】 Magician

【Race】 Human

【Gender】 Male

【H P 】 381/381

【M P 】 356/356

【Description】

A student at the Austin Academy of Magic.

The eldest son of the Craig family, a prestigious noble family in the Gilan Empire.

He is a serious non-active person.

The head of the boys' dormitory at the Academy of Magic.

Yes, that's right, the head of the dormitory, Alfred von Craig.

「What are you doing here, Kaede?」

「What... You can tell by looking at me. I'm eating.」

Kaede said, indicating the plate in front of her with her hand.

「I know that. Listen? You're a member of the Craig family, the most prestigious noble house in the Gilan Empire. There's a noble seat over there. If you want to eat, eat there.」

「What? It's fine. I have this hair, and people seem to think I'm a concubine's child.」

「But I'm sure your father and mother treat you as their own child. So do I. Don't worry about the color of your hair.」

「Hm, thank you. But I'm more comfortable eating with people I know, so I'll just eat here.」

「You're such a ....... You need to be a little more social, or you'll have a hard time finding a recipient later. This is a prestigious school, and many of them will eventually become court Magicians and hold important positions. It's all about personal connections――」

「Yes, yes, I'll leave all that career advancement and ambition to you, Aniue-sama.」

「Fuhh, you've got a pretty good face and a good head on your shoulders, so make a little more effort...」

「I don't care, you're annoying!」

「I-I get it. I'll see you later.」

Craig shrugged his shoulders and left.

「Are you sure?」

Serina asks Kaede.

「It's okay. I don't mind that he's a little sisterly and ladies first, but he's a little pushy. Besides, he cares about his appearance, so the best way to get rid of him is to yell at him like that. If we're at home, he'll yell back, and he won't mind.」

「Yeah. But I think he's a good brother.」

「He's too good. You know, my brother in Japan was a good brother too...」

「Hmm?」

「No, I'm talking about this one. It's better to have a badly made brother because of the comparison.」

「Oh, I see. Fufu, I'm an only child, so I wanted to have an older brother.」

Serina lightly let the conversation go, but that's fine, because I already know Kaede is Japanese.

「Well, it's about time ...... ah, I guess I'll skip it.」

Kaede puts her hands on the table and then relaxes.

「Eehh?」

「Food is supposed to be eaten calmly. You guys can go ahead.」

I'm going to be late for my afternoon class too.

There's something more important than class.

It's breakfast.
