"B-but… This is more expensive than my yearly allowance!?"
Testarossa said.
Her father was a minor noble.
Specifically, a knight baron.
Duke, Marquis, Frontier Count, Count, Viscount, Baron, Knight Baron.
A knight baron could be said to be a noble extremely close to a commoner.
This hat was apparently more expensive than the yearly allowance of Testarossa, the daughter of such a knight baron family.
"Hahaha. Don't worry about it."
Rigel said while laughing.
"But…"
Testarossa wore an apologetic expression.
(This one is surprisingly upright.)
Rigel thought a little unexpectedly.
"It's fine, don't worry about it. I want to give it to you as a present."
At Rigel's words, Testarossa reddened her face.
"…Yeah."
(Easy.)
Rigel laughed in his heart.
But he did not know.
Testarossa was not easy; she had simply been attracted to Rigel for a long time.
"Come on… Let's go."
Rigel pulled Testarossa's hand.
"Y-yeah…!"
While keeping her cheeks reddened, Testarossa left the store together with Rigel.
She was also properly wearing the hat that had just been purchased.
After walking for a while, Testarossa opened her mouth.
"Hey… Rigel-kun, were you born in an amazing place?"
"Why do you think that?"
Rigel asked back.
"Because you seem rich… Actually, are you also a noble or something…? And a high-ranking one at that…"
Testarossa asked.
Her words were correct.
Rigel was the heir of the Goussel Marquis family.
Between him and Testarossa, the daughter of a knight baron family, there was originally a large difference in status.
But there was no need to honestly say that.
"Hey hey, are you planning to inquire about the status of a Royal Academy student? It seems you want to get expelled."
Rigel said in a joking manner.
In order to equally develop those with talent, discrimination by status was prohibited within the Royal Academy.
In reality, there were also those who vaguely indicated their status and behaved as if they owned the place…
At the very least, inquiring about others' status was recognized as a taboo.
"Th-that's not it…! I was just curious!!"
"Haha! Don't panic so much."
Looking at the flustered Testarossa, Rigel laughed enjoyably.
"I'm not anyone special. There's no need for Testarossa to worry about it. Even though this is outside the Royal Academy, you never know where ears might be. There's a chance of something happening."
"Y-you're right…"
Testarossa nodded solemnly.
"Well, shall we end this talk. Even though it's a rare date, talking about status is boring."
Saying that, Rigel lightly pulled Testarossa close.
"H-hey…! This is outside, you know!?"
Testarossa said in a flustered manner.
But without caring at all, Rigel whispered into her ear.
"It's fine, isn't it. Just walking close together—no one cares about that."
"No… I'm the one who cares…"
(Good grief, what a cute one.)
Rigel muttered in his heart.
(Now then… Shall I rape her in a back alley like this? Or…)
Rigel thought.
(No, I'll hold off.)
Rigel thought.
Suddenly raping her in a back alley felt like a waste.
(If I'm going to do it… let's stack up more trust and favor first. Yes… like the pleasure when stacking a card tower to the limit… and then collapsing it all at once…)
Rigel smirked inwardly.
Academy life would continue for a while.
It was not yet a time to panic.
"By the way, Rigel-kun."
"Nn? What is it?"
At Testarossa's words, Rigel asked back.
"Lately… there's a girl in class who's been acting up, right?"
"Ah, that one."
Rigel nodded.
Rose.
A female student enrolled in S-Class.
She had been maintaining mid-tier grades within the class, but recently her grades had gradually been worsening.
"Is that girl okay? Lately she seems to be acting up quite a bit…"
Testarossa said looking worried.
Certainly the recent Rose had problems in her speech and conduct, and was causing trouble.
"Are you that worried? Even though you're not particularly friends…"
"That's true, but. She's a classmate for the time being… So I end up worrying."
Testarossa said that.
She had this kind of personality.
"Hmm. Got it. I'll also keep an eye on her a little."
"Thank you, Rigel-kun."
Testarossa smiled.
Rigel was also drawn into floating a smile.
"Now then, talk about other people is over. Let's enjoy time just for the two of us, okay?"
Rigel pulled Testarossa's hand.
"Yeah!"
She nodded looking happy.
In this way, Rigel and Testarossa thoroughly enjoyed their date.
