“——Luo Chen.”
“A Tianchao citizen?”
“Yeah, is there a problem?”
“No, no, please don't misunderstand. It's just that we rarely see Eastern faces here. So I was a little surprised!”
“Rarely?”
“Yeah, this competitive event is very niche in Tianchao, and it's also pretty niche globally～”
“……”
Indeed, the beautiful nurse was right about that.
Luo Chen, having lived two lives, didn’t know much about this mounted jousting competition. Even when surfing the internet in his previous life, he rarely saw it.
At most, he had once looked it up online while watching this anime, then watched a few real-life matches.
But he quickly got bored and was soon drawn to other new things.
However, while "mounted lance jousting" is niche in Tianchao, it's still quite famous in Europe, where knights are renowned. After all, medieval knight culture is popular worldwide.
“So, are you planning on coming to this school to study, Luo Jun?”
After all, this is a school, and Luo Chen is here, so the first reaction of others is to think of studying.
And don’t think this is a European noble school, but in fact, there are many foreign students, such as her, who was also a student here, and now there is also Hi-saki Mi-ying.
Because this school is famous in this field, so many people who like mounted jousting come here to study.
“No, I’m just passing by, and I’m curious to take a look.”
“Huh? Really? That’s a shame then——”
“Ayako-san! Shouldn’t you be more concerned about me? Mmm～”
“Oh, sorry sorry, I almost forgot about you, Mi-ying. Luo Jun, quickly put her here, I’ll check her up.”
“Okay.”
Perhaps forgotten by the two, or perhaps uneasy about the natural conversation between Luo Chen and Hiiragi Ayako.
In any case, before the two could continue their conversation, Hi-saki Mi-ying protested and reminded them of her presence.
But seeing her dancing and jumping, and her lively spirit, it’s no wonder that Hiiragi Ayako wasn’t worried or nervous. Besides, she had just checked the girl's ankle and there was no bruising or swelling.
It must be a sprain, just massage or rub some medicine on it.
It was indeed the case. As Luo Chen placed Hi-saki Mi-ying on the sofa, the beautiful nurse quickly made her diagnosis: “Phew～Mi-ying, it's a good thing you came to the infirmary in time, otherwise——”
“Otherwise? Ayako-san, is it serious?” Seeing Hiiragi Ayako’s solemn expression, the naive and pure Hi-saki Mi-ying’s heart went straight to her throat.
“Stare——”
Seeing the nervous pink-haired girl, Hiiragi Ayako didn’t continue but turned to Luo Chen who was standing aside.
“……”
Luo Chen was very calm about it. He simply smiled at the beautiful nurse.
“…otherwise, your ankle would have healed by now!”
“Huh? Huh——”
Finding that Luo Chen wouldn’t take the bait, Hiiragi Ayako could only continue to tease the nervous and worried pink-haired girl.
That’s right, it’s just a sprain.
On their way here, Luo Chen had secretly healed her.
After all, it was only fair to give some compensation after taking advantage of her for so long.
So by the time Hi-saki Mi-ying arrived at the infirmary, her ankle was already much better. She just needs to avoid running and jumping, and it will be fine.
“Alright, I’ll put some medicine on it for you, then you go have a rest. It will be fine by tomorrow.”
“Oh, okay～”
With Hi-saki Mi-ying’s ankle being fine, Hiiragi Ayako’s attention naturally shifted to the two of them.
Although she hadn’t experienced it herself, she was an adult after all. And besides, you don’t have to have eaten pork to have seen a pig run, right?
Originally, she thought her “wooden” cousin still had a chance.
But now, looking at Hi-saki Mi-ying’s lovelorn look, even she could see it!
In other words, has Hi-saki Mi-ying met someone she likes?
However, thinking of her cousin, who was as good as “steel,” Hiiragi Ayako wasn’t surprised at all.
Her cousin was so focused on the competition, his opponents and his horse that Hiiragi Ayako even suspected he might be a loner for life.
He was completely clueless about romance. If it wasn’t for his outstanding appearance and the fact that he was once a genius knight, it seemed he wouldn’t have much appeal.
“Ahem～Luo Jun.”
“Uh, just call me Luo Chen.”
“Then Chen Jun～?”
“…Alright.”
“Chen Jun, since you’re not here to study, are you here for a holiday?”
“You could say that.”
“Is that so? Have you found a place to stay?”
“I just arrived, haven’t had time to look yet.”
“Well then, if you don’t mind, you can go to——”
“Hi! Hi hi!”
“Mi-ying!”
“Chen Jun～If you don’t mind, you can stay at my place tonight. I’ll wash your jacket and give it back to you.”
“Mi-ying, you’re stealing business, aren’t you?”
“Humph, humph～Ayako-san, you are now a ‘teacher’!”
“Uh…”
