Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho Vol 2 Chapter 1

Giving a speech is tiring. My shoulders stiffened from all the tension.

I had been worried that my voice will not be loud enough for this large a place but it seems like the wind spirits-san did a good job and made my voice get through. Wind spirits are really handy.

Also, it felt like the all-important speech went down successfully; much satisfied.

Thank you, Kou-okaasan! Thanks to you, my debut as a student was a huge success! Supposed to be!

My uniform was sufficiently cute too. Rather than calling it a uniform, it was just a normal fashion attire to me.

Tools are needed when certain magic is used, hence, mages typically wear robes that have many pockets to store various things.

And most importantly, the robe was uncool so the ladies couldn’t bear it.

Even after the end of the School Entrance Ceremony, there was an orientation to get us freshmen accustomed to the school so we could not leave the auditorium yet. We are now taking a small break.

The first half of the orientation would be on explaining about the library. I pretended to be listening elegantly but I could not contain the excitement in my heart.

In this country, the library can only be found in the capital’s campus. It was the only library in this country.

The library was a place where only students and aristocrats can enter.

To enter school, I had studied but the contents of my study materials were, how shall I put it, all of it was fishy. Especially on things related to history, they were beyond the levels of dubious. Still, if I could visit the library, I am looking forward to learning more things in greater detail.

Absentmindedly, I looked around the surroundings and realised that the ladies and gentlemen freshmen have already made their own cliques. Likely they were fellow acquaintances from the same hometown.

Oh untainted peasants, I pray eternally that you do not get conned by the Tagosaku Cult.

With all his speeches, our journey to the capital was delayed and we could not synchronise our departure timing with the other children.

Stories such as malg Khxx tgw yublgwx mlul fllfbgz tp pal zbusx’ mtxauhhi tgw Ktxad-xtg ilxxlw df, tgzlubgz palbu pltvalu hu malg Ztb-xtg tpplifplw ph putbg abx idxvslx kr ulihobgz abx vatbu tgw whbgz xjdtpx hg tg tbu vatbu mabsl puliksbgz pauhdzahdp pal wtr’x slxxhgx……xhilahm, altubgz pali ulibgbxvbgz together about their times together, I get extremely envious of them.

I too want to have friends like that whom I can talk together with about the old times.

Still, there should be freshmen who have gotten drunk in love with my splendid speech earlier. They should be gathering by my side during the short break. I just need to maintain my graceful smile while waiting on my seat. It should be an easy job!

While hiding my restlessness, I waited at my seat and for some reason, I could hear footsteps rushing in my direction.

Alan has grown taller. Since we are already on this topic, I will let you know that my height has not changed much but I feel that I have become more adult-like compared to last time.

Nostalgic pea-green pupils. I start to remember Cain-bouchama, Irene-san and Claude-san.

I smiled and called out Alan’s name. For some reason, he stopped on the spot and he became dazed. The next moment, his face became stern-looking.

“Ryou……why! Sending us just that letter! You, seriously, why!”

I had thought we might be making a very touching embrace and had stiffen my outstretched arms for a second.

I became apologetic that they mbzap kl mhuurbgz tgw xltuvabgz yhu il xh B wlvbwlw ph mubpl ph pali tkhdp ir xduobots – patp B atw kllg twhfplw kr Udkr Ytsslg — tgw ph bgyhui patp B ti zhbgz ph xvahhs.

Hey, Mr. Alan’s abrupt shouts are attracting the scrutinising stares from the other freshmen nearby!

“Alan-sama, please, calm down. Let’s go somewhere else.”

I said and peered into his eyes. Unlike before, he looked like he was in bewilderment, and his eyes opened wide in surprise. Still, he looked like he was about to cry.

“The letter I wrote……did I do something disrespectful? If it was disrespectful on my part, I sincerely apologise.”

“No……that’s not it.”

Aren’t you being too emotionally unstable?

However, a nostalgic angel’s voice descended upon the confused me.

“Ryou! Alan!”

“C-Cain-sama!”

Showing himself at the most critical juncture, the Followist Cain-sama!

He has grown amazingly taller. I fit snugly into Cain-onisama’s chest. He had muscles in that area and the area which I buried my head into was firm.

Cain-sama revealed his sparkling white teeth while saying.

Cain-sama noticed my concerned glance at Alan and broke our embrace. He opened his arms to Alan instead.

“Alan too, congratulations on entering the school.”

And, after hesitating for a short moment, Alan opened his mouth again.

“Also, sorry. I could not help Ryou then. ……Seriously, I wanted to apologise at the start. I could not help because I was powerless. Ryou must have had a hard time alone, yet I could not do anything, I might have caused you to be helpless then……I have always……wanted to apologise for that.”

My body stiffened on hearing Alan repentance, or more like confession.

That is……how should I put it, you have been worried for me right……?

And I had a choice to go back to Alan and the other members of the Rainforest too. The option I had chosen for myself was not to go back.

The path which I had picked, it isn’t so that I have regrets for it now, but, I had forgotten that I would cause others to feel sad for me.

It was just that I thought I was just a passing memory to Alan and the others, that was how I imagined it. Perhaps, I was under that kind of impression.

I said and awkwardly opened my arms and gave Alan a hug.

I am really sorry, Alan.

“I’m glad. I was a helper for the Entrance Ceremony and was at the auditorium when I heard from Henry-sama that my little brother had raised his voice, so I rushed out and it worth the effort. I must return soon. The explanation session would begin shortly so you two return to the auditorium too.”

He nodded with satisfaction seeing as we have reconciled.

There were no signs of Alan appearing from the corner. To check on Alan, I went back to the corner and heard someone sobbing. I paused myself before the turn.

“……If only I could be like Cain-anisama. I had shouted at Ryou despite not having any such intentions. And I was planning to apologise first and then tell her that I would protect her and that she be relieved too……I am the worst. Why am I so uncool. ……I want to grow up faster.”

Alan was talking to himself.

In that instant, I wanted to say something but, I realised that those must be words that he did not want anyone to hear so I acted as though I heard nothing and went back quietly to the auditorium.
