Chapter 18 - Saras Story Part 1

********

This is a story when I (Saras) wrote about what had happened so far when I met Gerrard in the diary I bought when we started living in the hostel, but basically what I was thinking at the time of the past story. Rest assured that I am writing a diary properly regardless of words and actions. The tone might change a bit...

********

My name is Saras. I'm an ordinary girl, I'm writing a diary that I bought today on my dorm desk.

At the beginning of the article ~ Hmm... A fateful meeting. Why?

I think I had a fateful meeting that day.

That day, we were now friends in the same class... But to me it was more than friends, that's how I felt when I first met Gerrard...

The day I came to this Aruna kingdom to take the magic school general exam... I was strolling around the city because I didn't know the way to the magic school, and suddenly two people spoke to me. , "Hey, sweet lady. Could you come over for a minute?"

I knew right away when I saw it. I don't know the details, but I think they kidnapped me for naughty things and ran away immediately.

Naturally, they aimed at me and chased after me. Lately, I've been training to enter a magic school, therefore I have above-average physical strength. Because of that, they couldn't catch me right away, even so, I still feel scared...

I didn't know what to do, so I decided to go to a back alley and hide.

When I thought about it, I saw that the two people had managed to catch up to me. I thought it was a bad move. But for me, it was a good decision.

As I was passing through the back alley, a boy came out and unavoidably bumped into me.

"Excuse me, are you all right? Sorry for not looking forward!"

The boy apologized for the bad things I went through. I think that kid is a very good person

But as soon as the two of them came out of the back alley where I came out and took my hand, I felt bad about that.

"Chi, run for a bit... Hey you guys, you better get going."

"Help eh..."

It was a word that came out in a hurry. I was very afraid at that time to ask a kind child for help.

But the boy immediately helped me.

The two men drew their swords and slashed them. I closed my eyes because I didn't want to see the scene after that.

However, the sight I expected did not come. But both men passed out in the blink of an eye and the boy managed to save me. I couldn't take my eyes off him.

"I can usually endure this much..."

"You're strong"

"Well, are you okay? I'm relieved that you don't seem hurt. If there's a place to go, I'll accompany you."

"I came here to enroll in the Magic Academy. However, those two men chased after me while I was running to strengthen my physique before the exam. I don't know what's good about such a bad body… Anyway, while I was running around, I couldn't find the location of the school and I just ran away. Thanks for your help."

"That's right, I'm a student in the same magic school as you. We both have the same goal, so why don't you come with me?"

"Is that so!? Then, I will follow your word... Oh, what's your name? My name is Saras."

"Sorry, I'm late. My name is Gerrard. Please call me Gerrard."

Gerrard… Gerrard… Just then, I thought the boy was speaking happily from Gerrard's point of view. Is it because I'm happy?

I asked him because I was curious about Gerrard.

"By the way, why did Gerrard decide to enter a magic school? I want to become stronger and protect everyone in my hometown, and elsewhere."

At that time, I was nervous and maybe weird...

"I don't want you to know, but I came to find a girlfriend."

At this moment, I wonder what Gerrard said in his heart when he heard my words. I think that's an embarrassing line now...

"That's right, I hope you can do it. I will support Saras."

I can feel the feeling being pulled into my heart...

The purpose of Gerrard's enrollment in the Magic Academy was ... Gerrard said he would come to enroll because he had received an invitation from the headmaster, and I thought Gerrard was an outstanding kid.

Gerrard says he doesn't want to stand out, but my intuition tells me that's impossible.

I don't want Gerrard to stand out too much. Because, if that happens then another girl will either approach Gerrard or steal Gerrard... By the way... I'm interested in Gerrard as much as I wrote in my diary, but I'll write about it for now...

I like Gerrard.

Now, yeah... I'm so embarrassed. You cannot show this diary to anyone.

You will be ashamed and die the day you find Gerrard and see the contents of your diary.

"Good to buy a diary and have a look… I only wrote about me and Gerrard… Huh, let's meet Gerrard tomorrow and keep a diary of what happened to this day"

What is Gerrard doing in the dorm now? I can't wait to see you tomorrow

********

Saras There is one more past story.

Originally, I wanted to catch up with what happened today and what happened tomorrow, so I'm going to write a second diary today before going to bed.

That day, I walked with Gerrard to the magic school. The time spent walking with him felt very long and very short. Since then, I guess I didn't notice and would love it.

I'm not going to write the exam after parting ways with Gerrard because it's uninteresting. One thing I can say is that Gerrard was able to double his usual strength thanks to his saying, "Let's meet again at the entrance ceremony."

After the exam, I returned to the inn where I was staying until I entered the dormitory.

After returning to the inn, I couldn't sleep at night because I couldn't wait to get an early pass notification even though I didn't know if I would pass the exam.

With that feeling... I wanted to meet Gerrard sooner.

I remember I was very happy when I received the notification of passing the exam from the school.

On the day of the entrance ceremony, I went to the entrance ceremony wearing a magic school uniform.

I then searched for Gerrard from the middle of my arrival until the entrance ceremony started, but I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find him.
