The Boy Who Fell to the Lowest Level of the Dungeon, Becoming the Strongest and Returns to the Surface After 10 Years~He Just Wants to Live a Quiet Life, but His Childhood Friends Who Have Risen to Prominence Won’t Leave Him Alone~ - Chapter 13: Daily Life at the Academy

“Elta, ah~n!”

A rolled omelet is brought in front of Elta’s mouth.

Leone is feeding him with her own chopsticks.

“Wait, wait a minute.”

“Eh, why?”

However, Elta stopped her as if to hold her back.

No wonder, this is the fifth omelette he has made today…

“Isn’t that a bit much?”

“But I really loved Elta.”

“That’s true, but…”

Having realized her true identity, Leone is straightforward with Elta.

However, this can sometimes mean that the brakes don’t work.

This might also be the weight of ten years of feelings.

It’s been about a week since Elta became the instructor.

Today, Leone is sticking close to Elta again.

And then, at that moment, a girl comes running up quickly.

“Ah! Leone-san, you’re with my brother again!”

It’s Tina after class.

Leone called out to Tina, who hurriedly approached Elta and the others.

“You were late, Tina-chan.”

“I have a lecture, you know…”

The Royal Capital Etoile Academy is a three-year program.

Among them, if they have the required number of credits by the end of the third year, they will graduate.

However, due to her excellence, Leone has already completed the required number of credits.

In other words, she doesn’t have to attend any more lectures.

Using that, it seems she is stalking Elta at the academy.

“Do your best, first-year student. I’m here for you, Elta.”

“That’s not allowed! He’s my big brother!”

“No way, he’s my Elta!”

From that, there have been more scenes recently where Tina gets jealous of Leone.

“You two are really close, aren’t you?”

Elta seems to be the same as ever.

Also, there were academy students peeking from the shadows, watching the scene.

“The student council president did something like that…!”

“You’re joking, right, Leone-san…?”

“Tina-chan, this isn’t a forbidden love, right?”

“Are you a flower in both hands, damn it?”

“But, it’s Elta-sensei…”

The gaze is mainly due to men’s jealousy.

Tina, who boasts exceptional popularity, is the flower of the high peak, Leone.

Surrounded by the two most beautiful people in the academy, it’s undoubtedly a sight that everyone envies.

However, since Elta has already begun to make a name for himself, the academy students seem to have an air of resignation.

As both a lecturer and a man, Elta was gradually rising in status.

Additionally, he was also gaining weight.

“Here you go, big brother, today’s bento!”

“T-thank you.”

Since Elta has already received a lot from Leone, he is full.

And then another bento arrives there.

(Should I start saying it’s tough soon…)

Although he thinks so, Elta seems to have a hard time saying it.

“I’m so happy that Elta is eating!”

“I put a lot of your favorite things in there!”

Every time Elta eats, the two of them have happy expressions on their faces.

Also, since they made it for Elta, he wants to eat it properly.

With those thoughts in mind, Elta pushed himself a little too hard again today.

And then, at the end of the meal, Leone suddenly asks.

“By the way, what does Elta do on your days off?”

“Well, actually, I’m kind of free…”

“…! Then this week──”

“Ah, but.”

However, just as Leone was about to make a suggestion, Elta remembered something.

“Speaking of which, I received a letter from Celia.”

“Celiaaa?”

Hearing the name of another girl, Leone puffed up her cheeks.

Elta was unaware of that.

★

Time rewinds a bit, on a certain day.

This is the base of the Royal Capital Knights Order.

“…”

The Vice Captain, Celia, was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, wearing a stern expression.

It seems that the title of “Ice Knight” suits her perfectly.

Seeing that scene out of the corner of their eyes, the members of the group whisper among themselves.

“Today has an even more impressive presence.”

“Ah, something must have happened.”

“Be prepared for the afternoon menu.”

Those who were intimidated by the power, those who were captivated by its beauty, and various others could be seen, but none of them were on point.

Celia is currently preoccupied with thoughts of Elta.

(El-kun has become a lecturer…!)

That was the news she heard the other day.

As someone who lives in the royal capital, Celia knows well about the demon instructor Virgo.

Winning against her and officially becoming a lecturer is something that should be celebrated.

Of course, Celia celebrated wholeheartedly when she heard that.

But at the same time, she has realized it over the past few days.

(I have very few chances to meet El-kun now…)

Elta basically works as a lecturer during the day.

On the other hand, Celia had night patrols in addition to her training, so they hadn’t been able to meet often.

That is her biggest worry right now.

(It’s such a shame that El-kun comes to the royal capital so often…)

Celia originally joined the Royal Capital Knights Order because she wanted to help Elta.

However, it would be counterproductive if they couldn’t meet even though he returned safely.

Additionally, there’s another source of worry.

(That Leone person is all over El-kun!)

Yesterday, Celia happened to meet Leone in the royal capital.

That’s what she was saying.

“Elta is really working hard. I’m so happy to see you all the time. I’m really glad I gave the principal some advice.”

Celia gritted her teeth.

(That’s so unfair…!)

Celia and Leone usually get along well, but at the same time, they are rivals competing for Elta.

And then, as she thought about it, Celia suddenly had an idea.

(I see. Tina and Leone made El-kun a lecturer so they could meet at the academy. Then I will too!)

The knight order is busy, but the teaching job is only about twice a week.

Then, she thought, why not just call them here?

Under the pretext of “visiting the knight’s order.”

(With this, we can have a legal date!)

Celia immediately takes action.

Thus, a letter arrived for Elta.

Afterword

The heroine race is heating up…!

Next, it will be Celia’s turn again!
