"Is it bad?"
Humility asked Lawrend hesitantly.
??
"Yes. You shouldn't just invite any man into your room especially if you don't know him or aren't friends with him. What if he sexually abuse you?"
Lawrend nodded his head and explained to her.
"So does that an that I can invite you?"
Humility blinked her eyes at him as they walked together.
"... I'm not sure. If you can trust , you can."
Lawrend replied to her, unsure. After all, trust is not determined by friendship. So people have friends they can't trust.
"Then, can I trust that you'll keep safe at the study session?"
Humility asked him with a sweet smile.
"Sure."
Lawrend nodded his head at her. Since she was so nice to him, he doesn't see anything wrong with helping her. Besides, he's not that wary of Kenova as he genuinely looked like he changed his attitude.
"Thank you, Lawrend!"
Humility grabbed Lawrend's arm and embraced it. She pressed it between her boobs.
"W-What are you doing?"
Lawrend asked her in a fluster. He couldn't help but look around them. Students from the academy were looking at them weirdly.
"We're friends, right?"
Humility asked Lawrend with a smile.
"Yes, but friends don't do this."
Lawrend replied to her. He felt a headache interacting with her. Is she really that naive about socializing? Just how isolated is she?
"They don't?"
Humility asked with a frown. She let go of Lawrend's arm.
"Yes. Only couples do this."
Lawrend nodded his head and explained to her.
"I see…"
Humility nodded her head, downcast.
"So let's do the study session after Kenova's class ends."
Lawrend said to her.
"Okay!"
Humility nodded her head.
Suddenly, they arrived in front of a jet-black building without them noticing.
"What is this?"
Lawrend couldn't help but ask.
"It's the Darkness Departnt. They have about the sa students as our departnt."
Humility explained to Lawrend.
"Oh. Then, let's head back."
Lawrend took one last glance of the building before he turned around and left with her.
…
"Hm? Is that Master?"
Aleshia was walking along the balcony hallway on the third floor when she noticed Lawrend walking away from the building.
Aleshia held her body against the railing and observed them from afar.
"Huh? So that's the girl Sister Aezel was talking about."
Aleshia murmured to herself in thought.
…
Lawrend and Humility chatted about so nonsense while they waited for Kenova to finish his class.
They traveled from one departnt to another.
Lawrend told Humility how he was almost caught by a Noble Demon at port 14 in Sheron Port City.
Aezel, who was following behind them couldn't help but laugh lightly after hearing him retell it to Humility.
"I think it's ti."
Lawrend said to Humility as they walked through a grass field.
"Okay."
Humility nodded her head.
Thus, the two of them returned to the Lightning Departnt.
"Lawrend!"
Kenova imdiately recognized Lawrend from afar.
"We're having the study session in her room at the imn she's staying at."
Lawrend said to Kenova and pointed at Humility.
"Huh…? Okay?"
Kenova stared at Lawrend suspiciously. He couldn't help but think that sothing was going on between the two of them.
"Let's go."
Lawrend urged the two of them.
"Oh, wait."
Lawrend said to them just as he was about to lead them. He then pulled Aezel to the side.
"Aezel, tell them to go ho alone. I'll co back after this."
Lawrend whispered into her ear.
"...I understand, Master."
Aezel stared at Lawrend's face before she nodded her head solemnly.
"Okay. We'll go now."
Lawrend told her.
"Okay, let's go."
Lawrend said to Humility and Kenova. Aezel stood in her place and watched them leave.
"Your maid is not coming with us?"
Humility asked in confusion.
"Ah, yeah. She has to take care of so things."
Lawrend replied to her.
"Okay. That's better!"
Humility nodded her head happily.
"Huh?"
Lawrend looked at her in confusion. Why is she happy all of a sudden?
The trio left the academy on a carriage.
"Kenova, is it really Vernon that told you to harass ?"
Lawrend asked him as they rode the carriage.
"Yes. Not only that, he told to make you leave the academy at all costs."
Kenova replied to Lawrend truthfully.
"Are you still planning on doing as he said?"
Lawrend asked him with a smile on his face.
"No. I believe that I can't offend you more than Vernon."
Kenova shook his head and replied.
"Hmm… So you're planning to offend him?"
Lawrend asked Kenova while he pondered.
"Yes. That's why, please, take under your wing."
Kenova bowed his head to Lawrend.
"Wait, isn't your father the right hand man of the next-in-line patriarch of the Rubrignis Clan?"
Lawrend asked Kenova in confusion. He shouldn't be switching sides this fast if his father is that tightly connected to the Rubrignis Clan.
"...Would you believe if I told you that I want to rebel against my father?"
Kenova said to Lawrend solemnly as he stared into his eyes.
"I don't."
Lawrend shook his head. He wouldn't believe it even if he was threatened with a knife.
"Sigh. Then, I'll prove it to you through my loyalty."
Kenova sighed and said to Lawrend with determination in his voice.
"Eh? What are the two of you talking about?"
Humility asked the two of them in puzzlent. She couldn't keep up with their discussion.
"Rember that I told you that soone from the Rubrignis Clan hates ? Well, Kenova is planning to rebel against them for ."
Lawrend explained to her.
"I see. I wish I could do the sa..."
Humility nodded her head and murmured softly.
"Did you say sothing, Humility?"
Lawrend asked her in confusion. He thought he heard her say sothing.
"Nothing, Lawrend!"
Humility imdiately smiled at Lawrend.
"Okay."
Lawrend nodded his head at her. He could feel that she was faking her smile.
"We're here."
The voice of the coachman sounded from the front of the carriage.
Lawrend and Kenova followed behind Humility as she led them inside. She took a different route than the one Lawrend takes to go to Aleshia's room.
