Part 1
It was around that time that it was decided that Saara would live in Yuuyas house.
Prince Joshua, who had returned to his own country, was talking to his butler James.
Well... now that I can invite Kaori to my country. However, there is another person who will be coming to study abroad as well... but I suppose thats not important.
Your Highness... thats not right...
I know. I wont say it out loud, but my goal is still Kaori. Ill make sure that I receive her in the best possible way and win her over, James.
I want to tell you something about that...
Hmm?
James told Joshua with a stern look on his face.
Actually... we have received information that anti-royalist activities have increased in the last few days...
What? At a time like this?!
In Joshuas country, an anti-monarchy organization had continued its activities underground. However, they had not shown their true colors, and the police had been unable to make any arrests.
The exchange program is only for a month! What if they get in the way during that time...! Havent they caught them yet?!
Unfortunately...
Damn it... this is all the fault of those nobles! If they hadnt been fooling around...!
In fact, many of those who advocated anti-monarchism were not criticizing Joshua and the other royals but rather the attitude of the nobles who used their powerful position to impose their will on others. As a result, however, they still turned their fangs against the royal system.
Joshua spits out his anger.
Tch... you have to catch those bastards before Kaori gets here! Thats the top priority right now! Do you understand?
...Understood.
James, who had received his orders from Joshua, bowed his head in silence.
***
Hahh...
At school.
Just after the end of homeroom.
I couldnt help but sigh.
It had been a few days since Saara-san came to my house.
At first, Saara-san was surprised by the different civilizations from the ones she knew, but she adapted more quickly than I expected.
This was because, in Saara-sans time, some aspects of civilization were more advanced than they were now.
For example...
Whats that thing outside?
Eh? Oh, its a car.
A car... its probably something that carries people, but on the ground?
Eh?
On the ground, youre limited to where you can go depending on the terrain. Why dont you use the sky? There were similar things in our time, but everyone moved through the sky.
.....
...Like this, incredible episodes that seemed too unbelievable to be true from long ago begin to appear.
Just listening to it felt similar to Merl.
However, only a few technologies were superior, and most things were more advanced in modern civilization.
So, while Saara-san was adapting to the modern world, she continued to receive treatment.
But Im sure Tsukasa-san and the others dont know about that.
Well, the main reason is that Kaori will feel more comfortable with Yuuya-kun around, but you live with foreigners, including Yuti-san, right? Thats why I thought you would be more used to dealing with foreigners than the other kids.
Ah...
Also, thanks to your recent activities, the schools fame has increased greatly. Thats why I thought you would be the most suitable person to study abroad.
I see, Kaori knows that Yuti and the others are from another world, but she explained to Tsukasa-san that theyre foreigners, right?
Also, Im just living a normal high school life, but it seems that my actions have made Ousei Academy more known to the public than before.
I dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing, but judging from the way Tsukasa-san reacted, its probably not a bad thing.
More importantly...
I understand what youre saying. But... are you sure its me you want?
To be honest, if Im given the opportunity to study abroad, Id like to go for the experience.
I couldnt think about the future right now, but this study abroad experience might be the catalyst for me to make a decision in the future.
And even if something happened in Japan again, I could use the Transfer Magic and come back immediately.
Kaori responded to my words with enthusiasm.
Yes! I really want to ask you, Yuuya-san!
I agree. Its comforting to know that Yuuya-kun will be with Kaori.
When they said that, I couldnt refuse.
I understand. I accept your offer.
And so, in the blink of an eye, my decision to study abroad was made.
***
When Yuuya left the principals office, Kaori took a deep breath.
Phew...
Im so glad that Yuuya-kun agreed to study abroad.
Yes.
She thought he might refuse, but Yuuya agreed to study abroad.
Because, although Tsukasa doesnt know it, Kaori knows that Yuuya has gotten into various trouble because of his ability to travel between different worlds.
More importantly... are you sure its okay that we didnt tell him about Joshua-sama?
Well...
This study abroad program started when Joshua proposed to Kaori.
For some reason, Joshua had made Yuuya, who was close to Kaori, his sworn enemy, and the study abroad proposal was made in the hope that it would wake Kaori up.
Of course, if they had told Yuuya about this, he would probably have been able to help them solve the situation.
But...
I dont really want anyone to know...
Hmm...
Kaori didnt want Yuuya to know that Joshua was pressuring her to get married.
Besides, I dont want to worry him too much.
Seeing his daughter smiling like that, Tsukasa smiled gently.
Well, do what you want. The study abroad is only for a short month this time. If Kaori doesnt change her mind, even if the other party is the crown prince, I will firmly refuse the marriage proposal, so dont worry. Besides, youll be able to visit them when you go there, so it wont be all bad.
In fact, the country where Kaori was going to study was where her mother and younger sister, who she usually lived apart from, lived.
Yes!
Such a conversation took place without Yuuyas knowledge.
