I Was Reincarnated as a Commoner. I Can’t Stand Living Like This, so I’ll Become an Aristocrat! C107

 

107.A new friend?

One night after yesterday's shocking story, we were living our daily lives as usual.

Just because we heard that story doesn't mean we can do anything right away, so there's nothing we can do about it.

I can't forget what happened yesterday, but for now I have no choice but to go about my daily life as usual. No matter how worried I am, nothing will change. However, let's focus more on acquiring attack power than before. I thought so.

Then, last night I thought about wanting to go to the monster forest once. After all, you can't get a good image just by hearing the story, and I think you can understand how to train your magic and swordsmanship just by seeing it once.

I think I'll talk to Richard next time.

However, I can't just think about the monster forest. I took classes all day as usual today, and next was the fourth period magic class. Starting today, the recovery magic group will go to the Knights' training ground for a practical class.

I'm really looking forward to it.

"Leon, then I'll go home. I'll do my best at the stall."

"Yeah! Good luck. I'm going to magic class."

"Are you going to the Knights' training ground?"

"That's right. It's going to be a practical class!"

"Leon...why are you so excited?"

Ronnie looks at me with shocked eyes. Why...Isn't the knights' training ground just a man's romance?

"I'm sure you'll be looking forward to going to the Knights' training ground!"

“But most of the knights are nobles, aren’t they? Aren’t you afraid of powerful nobles?”

"Hmm, I guess so? It's okay."

I have magic that allows me to protect myself in an emergency, so I don't really feel scared. It's much more scary that the blame is directed at my family and friends, rather than at me.

"You look like Leon. Well, good luck."

"Yeah! See you tomorrow."

"see you tomorrow"

After saying that, I parted ways with Ronnie and headed to the training ground.

After arriving at the training ground and waiting for a while, a student came over. There are a total of four people in the recovery magic group, but besides me and Martine, there is one boy and one girl.

The boy didn't seem to think well of me, although it wasn't obvious. However, the girl seemed calm and kind, and even smiled at me. That's pretty rare at this school. Basically, you're either hated or feared.

And now the girl has arrived. I couldn't talk to you the other day, but is it okay if I talk to you...? 　

They don't look at me with contempt, and they don't seem to be afraid of me either. I would be happy if we could become friends...

As I was thinking about this, a girl approached me.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Stacy Dalligard, the third daughter of Baron Dalligard. Please call me Stacy. There aren't many people with the recovery attribute, so I'd be happy if we could get along."

Stacey-sama said that and smiled.

I can't believe that something like this... could happen at the Royal School! ! I was so moved that I almost cried. I never thought there would be someone who would get along well with me.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Leon. Thank you."

"It's okay if you treat me more leniently. Shall we be friends?"

"I-I wonder if it's okay for me...? It's strange to say this myself, but I'm a commoner."

"What's wrong with that? Aren't we all the same living things? Flowers, trees, insects, animals, all living things are friends."

I-A living thing? 　It suddenly became something I didn't understand.

　Hmm...does this girl feel like a mysterious girl? Well, natural?

"Does this mean that all living things are friends?"

"Yes, you're right. That's why I don't like food. There's no way I could eat my friends. However, my father and mother insisted that I eat, so I got some from the vegetables and ate them. There we are. We are being fed parts of leaves, roots, and fruits.My father told me that we were just receiving things we didn't need, like people's hair falling out, so I was convinced. ”

This kid was a dangerous little wonder girl...she was the type of kid who was so strong that she wouldn't be bullied.

Your father and mother were kind people. If he were a normal aristocrat, he might have been kicked out of his house, or even if he wasn't kicked out of his house, he might not have been allowed to go to the royal school.

In the first place, is it possible to show manners to people of high status? If you think that all living things are friends, then you think that social status doesn't matter... No, if that's the case, why don't you let me go to the Royal Academy? I guess I can do the bare minimum.

　

But even though she's such a scary girl, I'm so happy that she was able to talk to me normally, so even though she's a weird girl, I'm more than happy.

"Sometimes plants grow better if they take a moderate amount of leaves and fruit, so if you give them the extra parts, wouldn't they actually appreciate it?"

"Really!? If that's the case, then that's fine. From now on, I'll ask you every day if there are any leaves or fruits you'd like me to pick."

 Take a listen? Who should I ask?

...Maybe it's better not to push too hard.

“You might be happy if you try that.”

"I'm glad I became friends with Leon. Would you mind introducing me to your friends next time?"

"What is a friend...?"

"First, let me introduce you to the children in the mansion's field."

"You're not human after all!" I couldn't help but picture Stacey introducing me to the vegetables in the field.

"Hehe...hahahaha..."

That's crazy...I really hit the nail on the head! I can't stop laughing. Wait, someone help me!

Stacey-sama is tilting her head at him curiously.

I managed to suppress my laughter and apologized to Stacey-sama.

"Stacey-sama, I'm really sorry. Just thinking about going to Stacey-sama's mansion made me have fun."

"Well, I see you're really looking forward to meeting my friend."

Stacey-sama said so with a big smile. Stacey, that's different. Not at all.

I couldn't help but burst into laughter again, but I managed to suppress it by tightening my abdominal muscles. However, I can't get rid of the unnatural grin on my face.

As they were having such a strange conversation, another boy came into the training field, and soon after that, Martine came too.

I decided to stop talking and took a step to distance myself from Stacy-sama, but then Stacy-sama spoke out loud.

"Ah! I forgot."

I was surprised by that voice and instinctively turned towards Stacy-sama again, and Stacy-sama looked apologetic and said,

"Leon, I forgot about the flowers in my room. You're going to get angry. I'll introduce Leon to you first. I hope you're looking forward to meeting the children in the field. I'm very sorry for the fact that..."

"Buha..."

I burst into laughter and hurriedly covered my mouth with my hand. Wait, that's a foul. Are you here to make me laugh?

Moreover, the other boy and Martine are also listening!

I thought it would be dangerous if I laughed here, so I managed to suppress my laughter. As expected, Stacey, but you can't read the atmosphere!

"Sister Stacey, it doesn't matter which one comes first. If you have a chance to go to the mansion, please introduce yourself to me. Let's talk about this later. Classes will start soon, so..."

"That's right! I'm looking forward to it."

For some reason, I ended up visiting the mansion of Baron Darrigard's family. I don't particularly dislike it, but I don't know what kind of noble he is, so I have to ask Richard...That's a bit troublesome.

Stacey-sama doesn't have to worry about being a commoner, but other people might not...but I'm really grateful and happy that there are more people at the Royal School who can talk to me normally.

Just when she thought about it, she felt a strong gaze on her and turned her head, and her eyes met Martine's.

Um... are you angry? 　I'm a little scared of the aura though. I'm not doing anything! ?

Martine came over to me at a brisk pace.

“Leon, you seemed to be having a lot of fun earlier, what were you talking about?”

I'm at a loss no matter what you say...if I had to ask, would it be about vegetables? Or about your friends?

"It's about Stacey-sama's friend."

This is the only answer I can give!

"Are you friends...? Do you have mutual friends?"

Martine's face suddenly became strange. I understand. That's what you normally think. But it's different.

As I was thinking about what to say, Stacey-sama came into the conversation from the side.

"Her Royal Highness, this is Stacy Dalligard, the third daughter of Baron Dalligard. Leon and I were talking about my friend from the field."

“Are you friends from the field…?”

"Yes! She's really cute. She gets very happy when I give her water. She listens to my concerns seriously, and we get along really well."

"Well, that was good..."

"Yes! Her Royal Highness, please come to the mansion as well. And please let me introduce you to my friends."

"I-I'm sorry, but it's difficult for me to come to your mansion."

"Is that so? Why?"

As for why, it's obvious! ?

Martine is quite confused. Stacey-sama, it seems like you understand that Martine is of a higher rank, but you think it's okay to use honorific language for now! ? It's completely different!

Stacey's father and mother! Your children are in great danger!

Martine looked at me as if asking for her help. I'm in trouble if I ask for help here, I'm in trouble, but I have to say something.

“Stacey-sama, I think it would be difficult for Martine-sama to go to the mansion.I can come to the mansion anytime, so is it okay for me to go by myself?”

"Leon...I'm sorry. I had an appointment with you first, but I shouldn't have made an appointment with someone else..."

　Not at all! It's completely different, but it's okay to understand that.

“Anyway, I will visit the mansion instead of Martine-sama.”

"Okay. We'll all be waiting for Leon."

Okay...I managed to distract her from Martine for now. However, I will not visit Stacey-sama's mansion.

It became like a decision.

　It can't be helped. Mr. Richard, I'm really sorry if I caused you any trouble!

After we had talked that far, Professor Ossen entered the training field.
