214話 聖教画に描かれた少女
「あの、はじめめして」
噛んだ。
背後からクスリと声を押し殺し、笑いを堪える親友達の忍び笑いを聞き漏らしはしなかった。
むっとなってしまうけれど、気を取り直して小学生女児たちに再び笑顔を向けて話しかける。
「はじめまして。俺は朗読会の
もしかして、君たちも朗読会に行く途中かな? よかったら一緒に講堂までどうかな?
と続ける前に、シスター服女児のうちの一人、丸眼鏡をかけたショートボブの女の子が興奮した様子で喋りかけて来た。
「あのっ、あのっ! もしかして、皇太子殿下のフィアンセさんですよね!? プロポーズされてたっ!」
おおう......。
テレビの影響力すごいな......こんな小学生までに知られているとは......。
『本物だ......すごい』と、目を眼鏡よりまん丸にして呟く少女にどう答えたものか迷っていると、興奮する丸眼鏡っ
その娘はちょっと説教臭さをにじませながらも、色々と気になる事を口にした。
「だって、だって、すぅーっごく綺麗なんだよ?
「女神さまのような美しさがあるのは認めます」
なんて勝手に彼女たちの俺に対する印象が謎な方向で定まってゆく。どうしよう、と親友二人を見返せば苦笑をこぼすばかりで頼りにならない。
とにかく二人の名前は、丸眼鏡ッ子が
俺としては教典に出てくる少女と俺が似ているという点が気になったので、その辺を問いただして会話を広げようかと思った。
「あの、教典に出てくる人物? と俺が似てるって話なんだけど、その教典? ってどういう内容なの?」
「はぁ......」
答えの代わりに返って来たのは、大きな溜息だった。
そんな呆れをぶつける仕草をしたのは三人のうち、最後の一人。厳しい目付きで俺を睨むベリーショートの女の子だった。
「交換留学制度で他校に行ってる子と、合同で朗読会をするって聞いてはいたけれど、まさかその子がアンタみたいな子だったなんてね」
こちらが気に入らない、といったオーラをガンガン飛ばしてくる女子小学生に思わず面喰ってしまう。
「しかも、教典の内容を聞くほどに勉強不足。こんな子が『女王の卵』? 私たちの事をバカにしてるとしか思えない」
だって......今日の朗読会で読み聞かせできる権利をもらうのに、どれだけ頑張ったか......」
「紀伊子ちゃんっ、落ち着いてよ」
怒りで肩をふるわす紀伊子ちゃんを、明日香ちゃんが必死でなだめ始めるけれど、彼女が俺を睨めつけてるのを見るに爆発した感情は一向に収まりそうもない。
「あんたは何となく朗読会に来たのかもしれないけど! 今日の朗読会で読み聞かせの栄誉をもらえるのは、小学4年で信仰学の成績上位3人だけなんだから!」
こっちとしては知らんがな、と言いたいところだけど......なるほど、一生懸命がんばった側としては俺の存在は面白くないだろうな。
紀伊子ちゃんの勢いは留まるどころか加速し、忌々しそうに俺へと指を突きつけてくる。
「神聖で誉れ高い朗読会を......こんな見た目だけよくて、皇太子殿下の寵愛を受けて、浮かれてるだけのバカ女と一緒にするなんて!」
のような無関心顔で解説を挟む黒髪ストレート女児の言葉に、俺がシスター・レアンからもらって着ている修道服は、彼女たちとは違う物だと気付いた。真っ白な生地という所までは同じだけれど、彼女たちが身につけているのは黒色の刺繍が施されている。俺の方は薄い金色だ。
「こんな子が待遇も特例で、修道服も私達と違って特別製......少しは文句も言いたくなるでしょ。特別なら特別な子にふさわしく、凡人の私達が構う必要なんてないからさっさと講堂に行こっ!」
有無を言わさぬ剣幕で紀伊子ちゃんは、あとの二人の手を掴んで講堂の方へと歩み去ってしまう。
後に残された俺はポカンと途方に暮れてしまった。
こんな一方的で理不尽な怒りをぶつけられれば、こちらとしても不快だけれど......正直、あんな幼い子に突然このような態度を取られては戸惑うばかりだ。
。小学生に嫌われつつも、しっかりと重要な情報は手に入れたわけだ」
「収穫はあったね。教典に
固まりかけた空気をほぐすように、気楽な口調で親友たちが先程のやり取りをまとめてくれる。
「早い話、次なるクエストが提示されたぞ?」
「彼女たちと仲良くなって、気になった事を聞き出す、だね?」
「任せろ、俺達はクエストの発行とクエスト後の反省会には参加してやる」
「うんうん、あとはもしもの時に備えて身辺警護だね」
「クエスト名は『小学生女子の攻略』だな」
「なんだか怪しいメガネ男子高校生が言うと、危ない単語に聞こえるね?」
「おい、うるさいぞ腹黒やろうが」
あの子たちと再び絡むのか......アウェー感があり過ぎて厳しい......。
「......あの子たちから聞きだすのか?」
他の子達でもいいんじゃないのか? と言外に匂わすと、親友達は何を言ってるんだとこちらを見つめ返してくる。
「早い話、優秀そうだったじゃないか」
「情報もたくさん持ってそうだね?」
「おお? 我らが錬金術師殿が、何やら小学生女児を利用する悪巧みに頭を回転させているようだ」
「さすがだね。腹黒なボクでも訊太郎さまには叶わないな」
「うるさいな。そんな風に誘導してるのはお前らだろうが」
まぁ親友達の提案が、ベストを突いてるっていうのも理解してるから仕方ない。
どうすれば彼女たちと仲良くなれるのか......特にベリーショートの
「「クエストをこなすのは、もちろん訊太郎だな(ね)」」
それはもちろん親友達も同じようだった。
ハモってこのクエストを押しつけてくる
「おい、本当に小学生に見えるぞ」
二人には問答無用で
俺の鋭い
「ステータスが反映されてるの、忘れてない?」
か、勝てない。
216 214 Stories Girl Painted In Episcopal Paintings
"Um, here we go."
Chewed.
He pushed his voice from behind and killed it, and didn't divulge the sneaky laughter of his best friends, who laughed.
I get upset, but I get back on my mind and I smile and talk to the elementary girls again.
"Nice to meet you. I'm a reader at the recital... and I've never been to this school before because of circumstances."
Maybe you're on your way to the recital, too? Would you like to come with me to the auditorium?
And before continuing, one of the Sister clothes girls, a short bob girl with round glasses, came talking in an excited manner.
"Um, ahem! Could it be Mr. Fiance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!? He was proposing!
Whoa......
TV Influence Wow...... I didn't know you were known by such elementary school students......
"It's real... wow," she said, wondering how she answered to the girl who squirms with her eyes more round than her glasses, and the exciting round eyeglass daughter (Ko) 's shoulder is lightly slapped from side to side. 'Calm down,' he whispered, and it was a brunette straight long girl who responded oddly.
The daughter said things that bothered her a little bit, even though it smelled like preaching.
"'Cause, uh, it's so beautiful, huh? You think so too, don't you?
"I admit there is a beauty like you, goddess"
What a mysterious direction their impression of me sets. I don't know what to do, I just spill a bitter laugh when I look back at two of my best friends and I can't count on them.
Anyway, I'll add the two names to my brain note that Round Eyeglasses is Tomorrow Kaori (Asuka) and Dark Hair Long is Kiyorina (Shiraina).
As for me, I was curious about the fact that I was similar to the girl in the classroom, so I thought I'd ask around and expand the conversation.
"Um, who's in the classroom? I'm talking about me resembling that classic? What's it about?
"Ha..."
It was a great sigh to come back instead of an answer.
Of the three, the last one did the trick of bumping such a grudge. She was a berry-short girl staring at me with tough eyes.
"I heard you were going to a joint recital with a kid who went to another school under the exchange study system, but I can't believe he was like you."
I don't like this one, I accidentally eat the face of an elementary girl flying an aura like that.
"Besides, I don't study enough to hear about the contents of the classics. This is the Queen's Egg? I just think you're making fun of us."
"Because... how hard did you work to get the right to be able to read it in today's recital..."
"Kiiko, calm down."
Kiiko, who flutters her shoulders with anger, begins to desperately disappear tomorrow, but the emotions that exploded to see her stare at me are unlikely to ever subside.
"Maybe you came to the recital somehow! The only honors I get for reading in today's recital are the top three faithology grades in four years of primary school!
I don't know about this one, I just want to say... I see, as a hard cancer side, my presence won't be interesting.
Instead of staying, Kiiko's momentum accelerates, poking her finger at me abominably.
"Holy and praiseworthy recital...... I can't believe it's just such a good look, with the patronage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with a silly woman just floating around!
In the words of a brunette straight-haired girl pinching a narrative with an indifferent face like Buddha (Hokkaido), I realized that the monastic clothes I was wearing from Sister Lean were different from theirs. The white fabric is the same, but what they wear is black embroidered. Mine is lighter gold.
"Such a child is special, and the monastic clothes are special, unlike ours... you want to complain a little bit. If it's special, we don't have to worry about ordinary people. Let's go to the auditorium!
With or without a sword screen, Kiiko grabs the other two hands and walks away towards the auditorium.
I was left behind, and Pocan and I fell apart.
If I could hit such a one-sided and irrational anger, I'd be offended by this one... but honestly, I'm just confused that such a young kid suddenly takes such an attitude.
"No... that's Shintaro. Even though elementary school hates him, he still has important information."
"You had a harvest. There's a girl in the classroom who looks like Shintaro, or the word" Queen's Egg. "
My best friends sum up the earlier exchanges in an easygoing tone so as to loosen up the hardening air.
"Quick story, the next quest has been presented?
"You get along with them and you hear what's bothering you, right?
"I'll take care of it. We'll take part in the quest and the post-quest reflection."
"Yeah, yeah, and then there's the perimeter guard just in case."
"Quest name is Attack on Elementary Girls."
"Kind of suspicious glasses. Boys high school says, sounds like a dangerous word, doesn't it?
"Hey, shut up, nigga."
Are you getting involved with those kids again...... too awesome and tough......
"... you hear from those kids?
Isn't it okay with the other kids? And when I smell it outside, my best friends stare back at me and say what they're talking about.
"Quick story, you seemed brilliant"
"You have a lot of information, too, right?
"Oh? Our alchemist seems to be spinning his head in some cleverness using elementary school girls."
"That's just great. Even if I'm black, Shintaro won't make it."
"Shut up. I'm sure you're the ones guiding it that way."
Well, I can't help it because I also understand that my best friends' suggestions are poking the best.
How can I get along with them... I thought it would be difficult (on purpose) to attack Kiiko in Berry Short in particular.
"" Of course it's Shintaro who does the quest (right) "
That, of course, was the same for my best friends.
Hamo is going to push this quest at night (Koya) and Yuki (Yuki), but I can't say anything back about this because the two of us have a strong side to it.
"Hey, you really look like an elementary school kid"
Beat the shoulder bread in for both of you without question.
"Both of you are too strong..."
"It reflects your status, don't you forget?
Or you can't win.
