"Thank you very much for taking the express train to Luray today, and the next stop is the final station, Lulei. Please do not forget your belongings. ”

With the separation in the imperial capital, I once again took the A group of the train, and after several hours of journey, finally came to the terminal of this train.

"Is it finally here?" Emma breathed a sigh of relief, and the continuous ride made her look a little tired.

"'Black, Silver and Steel', this is my first time here." Jusis said as he looked at the approaching station.

"As an empire, this is an indispensable and important city, the heart of the empire's industry, and with him can it continuously produce new industrial products." Ike replied, "It's just not a good city to live in." ”

Shortly after the announcement, the train slowed down noticeably and approached the station in a short time. After the train stopped, the members of Group A stepped out of the train one after another.

"The next step is to transfer to the goods train to the 'Nolde Plateau', right?" Lane asked.

"That's right, the reservation is for the subsequent freight train departing from Platform 4." Gaius replied.

"The words of the 4th platform... Alyssa looked in the direction of the train station, "Then you have to go up the stairs and then go down to the platform at the left end." ”

"Shouldn't we find a place to buy bento boxes before then?" During the walk, Emma proposed, "It's going to take a while to get to the Norde Plateau, right?" ”

"If you get from Luray, it will take about four hours." Lane replied

"In the case of freight trains, you can't expect a place to buy food." Jusis replied.

"In that case, we'd better go out of the ticket gate first." Alyssa said, "Next to the train station, I remember that there was a place that sold lunch boxes. ”

"No, you don't have to bother."

"Did it come? Judging from this speed, it looks like I'm riding an airship. Ike looked like he was, "I should have gone with her." ”

"Why, why, why did you come before us! Sharon! Arissa shouted.

"Why?" Sharon thought for a while and replied with a smile, "This can only be said to be because of his love for the eldest lady." Then he turned his head to look at a few people and handed over the bamboo basket in his hand, "Unlike in the morning, I took out my real skills to prepare a bento for you." Please enjoy it slowly. ”

"Thank you, thank you." Somewhat overwhelmed to take the lunch, Lane looked at the smiling Sharon a little blankly.

"That... Thank you very much though ... ”

"But it's really concerning...

"Hmph, the interest of the maid of the Ryan Fortt family seems to surprise the master." Jusis said with some displeasure.

"From the morning I felt like you had some plans. Sharon, don't you want to follow us all the way to the Nolde Plateau? Alyssa asked.

"No, in fact, there is other work coming in after this ... Return to Tolista is also expected to be slightly later. Sharon shook her head in reply.

"Anything else?" Alyssa wondered.

"—I asked her to help me with some work."

Not far behind Sharon, a female voice with a calm voice came, and the source of the voice, a blonde woman walked over without hurry, with a capable appearance and an awe-inspiring look, which made people see at a glance the refinement of the woman in front of her.

"Mom, Mom?!"

"Long time no see, Arissa. And the guy over there who was going to run away. The woman looked grimly at Ike, who was hiding behind Ryne and ready to escape.

"How could it be, I just suddenly felt a little sick in my stomach." Ike laughed out loud when he saw through the plan. "Isn't this Ms. Irina? It's been a long time, you're getting younger. I almost didn't recognize it. ”

"This... Is this person really the Ike instructor we knew before? . . Emma whispered.

"It's a completely different person." Dawn interface

"I'm really looking at the wrong person." Jusses agreed.

"It's not that man first." Irina turned her head and looked at a few people scrutinically, "These are the students of Class 7, right?" I'm Arisa's mother, Irina, and I'm currently serving as the president of the Lane Forte Group. Please advise. ”

"No, you're welcome. I'm Dawn Schwarzer. Lane stammered in reply.

"Hello for the first time... My name is Emma Millsteen. ”

"Gaius Vozel. Please advise. ”

"Jussis El Barea. Thank you for your continued concern. ”

"Well, anyway, please get along with the little girl in the future." Irina replied flatly, "I still have a job, so I'll quit first." ”

"Huh?。。。。。。 You, you should stop in moderation! Looking at Irina, who turned and walked away, the silent Alyssa suddenly said loudly, "I always put my work first like that every time... Don't you even want to say a word to your daughter who left home without permission?! ”

“。。。 about your own life ... Just go as you wish. Irina, who had stopped, turned to look at Arissa and replied, "I'm not going to force you to inherit the Lane Fortt family. It shouldn't be bad to live as you like that person. Irina paused for a moment, "Besides, I also have a minimum understanding of your academy life. Through monthly reports from the Academy. ”

"Huh?。。。 Sharon would report it to her mother, and of course I had already resigned myself to it. And the report from the academy is... ”

"Ah, haven't I told you yet? Tolz Military Academy, where I was one of the permanent governors. Irina replied.

“！！！？？？”

"This—This means...

"And Mr. Rhofas... Is Jusses' brother the same? ”

"It seems so, right, President Ryan Fort... As a director, he is indeed an impeccable talent. Jusis replied.

"I've also touched on ARCUS and the wand. The useless man over there, and the report of Class VIII., make me read it with relish every time. I'm looking forward to this special internship as well. ”

"Then I will take my leave, Miss, and everyone." Sharon bowed deeply to the stunned Group A, and turned to follow Irina as she left.

"I was deceived... After the two left, Alyssa crouched down in frustration and muttered.

"No, are you alright?"

"Speaking of which!" Arissa suddenly jumped up and walked up to Ike and asked, "Ike, you know, right?!" Mom is a member of the board of directors of the academy! ”

"No, not really." Ike denied, "After all, I'm not here long ago, and I don't pay much attention to these things. If it weren't for something, I wouldn't know that there was such a thing as a director. But your mother is secretly watching you, and she already knows it. ”

"Huh?"

"You idiot, haven't you noticed that your money account hasn't changed since the beginning of the school year?" Ike sighed, "Also, why do you think I came to this academy as an instructor?" Olivet's request wasn't enough to call me over. ”

"Huh?" Arisa's face turned a little red, and she whispered, "It's hard, is it... ”

"That's right, it's your mother who asked me too."

“。。。。。。”

“。。。。。。”

"Instructor Ike doesn't understand the mood of girls." Emma replied with a blank face.

"I did it on purpose." Ike was helpless and gently rubbed Arisa's head, "Let's try to get to know your mother once in a while, after all, she urges me to report to you every week, but it takes me a lot of effort." Ike glanced up at everyone. Although there is some trouble, but since Irina appears, I have to go to say hello, and I can't accompany you on the next trip, so you can do your best, everyone. ”
