"I'm..."

[i]The god of life reborn in the body of a loser.[/i]

"...Ryuu," the otaku said, daring not to take his eyes off of the small girl. Something about her kindled a warm feeling in him. Her tininess was adorable just because she looked like... some sort of pocket creature. A pocket person.

As Otacon would put it, [i]It's like one of my Japanese animes![/i]

He dared not to say that out loud, though. There was literally a normal-sized man who had an obvious connection to the tiny girl. Making sure that she did not fall off, Ryuu silently took a breath and turned to Andromeda.

Her ankle was hurt.

[i][b]AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-[/b][/i]

Seeing that she seemed a bit hurt, Ryuu asked, "Hey, do you need someone to take you there? I can-" But right before he finished, he turned and found the spookiest shit ever floating to their direction.

The math teacher screamed briefly as he pointed at Oliver. "Y-You!"

Ryuu had met Oliver quite a lot of times ever since he became a faculty member, but that did not mean he was able to quickly get accustomed to spooky ghosty teachers. He did not meet those in a certain battle that much either, so that didn't help.

[b][u]Aurelia[/u][/b]

Ara surprised Aurelia.

And by surprise, it was the kind of surprise that would make Aurelia jump and unknowingly back away from the person.

At Ara's entrance, Aurelia shrunk and listened to the woman introduce herself. She seemed to have a lot of confidence in herself, and judging by how she considered Aurelia to be an obstacle, Ara did not care much about the dark-haired girl's presence. That was somewhat good for the timid girl, but she still found her air of pride to be hard to approach.

The fact that she encouraged them to slap another person named "Ara" did not help...

Aurelia eventually stood slightly behind Rain and nodded when the blue-haired woman offered to walk with her. Having someone to be with (even in silence) would perhaps be safe for the time being in the case that there were more people like Ara.

She did not exactly dislike the confident girl, but her personality seemed like a heavy load that Aurelia could not handle properly at the moment.
