TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 5
After
school, Anri was walking down the corridor with so much material that she
couldn't see what was in front of her.
She
had borrowed these materials from the library and the reference room in order
to compile materials for her class, but she had borrowed too many, and before
she knew it the number of materials she had borrowed had grown to an
extraordinary level.
In
order to return the borrowed materials, Anri-sensei walked down the corridor
with a staggering gait.
The
pile of materials in her hands was about the size of her upper body, the tops
swaying erratically and looking like they were about to collapse.
"A-ara?
Ara-rarara??"
Sure
enough, the top of the pile of materials began to wobble.
Anri
tried to restore the balance somehow, but once the pile of materials that had
been maintaining a perfect balance began to collapse, it all came crashing down
like an avalanche.
"Fuee~~"
Anri's
sorrowful voice echoed through the vast corridor.
Piles
of material were scattered on the floor. It seemed like she was carrying more
than just books, as there was a loud rumbling sound mixed in with the rustling
sound.
The
floor was littered with old books and parchment that had something written on
them, lumps of ore, and items that we had no idea what they were used for.
There
was no unity at all, and at first glance, they looked like garbage, but they
were probably of considerable value. With tears in her eyes, Anri hurriedly
began to gather up the scattered materials.
"Enn~.
I will be scolded~~."
Anri-sensei
was picking them up in a hurry. At that moment, a hand reached out from the
side and began to pick up the materials that had fallen to the floor.
"Fue?"
When
Henri turned to look at the owner of the hand that was picking up the materials
while making a stupid voice, there was a middle-aged man in silvery-white
armor.
"Good
grief, are you alright, Anri-sensei?"
"Jihad-sensei~.
Thank you~"
It
seems that Jihad happened to see Anri's dumb scene earlier. When Anri saw the
bitter smile on Jihad's face, a smile appeared on her face.
After
Jihad finished collecting all the materials that had fallen, he asked Anri
where he should bring the materials he had picked up.
"So,
where should I bring these materials to?"
"Eh?
Is that okay~?"
Jihad
was one of the central figures of the school, and Anri wondered if it was okay
to have her superior carry the materials she had dropped, but Jihad himself
didn't seem to mind.
"Yeah,
I don't mind"
"Thank
you~. You are a life saver~"
While
thanking Jihad, Anri held the materials that had been reduced by half firmly in
her hands so as not to drop them this time.
The
two of them, who were about the same age as a parent and child, walked down the
corridor. The first stop was the reference room.
Anri,
who had a laid-back personality, didn't walk fast, so Jihad next to her had to
adjust his pace.
"Anri-sensei,
I'd like to ask you a few questions, is that okay?"
"Yes,
of course!~"
