A Special Encounter With An Imperial Princess As I Get Reincarnated To Isekai

Yuki Suzuki

"This is our second encounter,isn't it?" Satoru said, breaking the silence.

"Indeed," she replied, a hint of surprise in her voice. "I didn't expect to run into you here, especially not in this manner."

The girl looked at him with a peculiar expression, her eyes betraying a hint of hesitation as if she was torn between speaking her mind and holding back.

"You... never mind," she finally said, her voice trailing off as she seemed to reconsider.

The girl then took a seat next to Satoru, her presence momentarily overlapping with where Janne had just sat. Surprised by the coincidence, she quickly stood up.

"Is she the girl you met in the library?" Janne inquired, her gaze shifting to the newcomer beside Satoru.

She seemed genuinely curious, her expression a blend of recognition and contemplation.

Satoru could only nod lightly. He understood that no one could see Janne, so if he responded aloud, the girl beside him would likely think him foolish.

"Uh..." Satoru was about to say something when the girl's voice interrupted him.

"You've taken the seat I've always sat in. Although it's not against the rules, and it's not a big deal," she said, seemingly having read his mind and cutting him off before he could speak.

How did she know what I was going to ask? Satoru thought, bewildered. Is my curiosity that easy to guess?

"I can move to another seat if necessary," Satoru offered, his voice carrying a note of genuine concern.

The girl's eyes softened slightly, though her demeanor remained composed. "No need, this will do just fine," she replied with a measured tone.

Her gaze lingered on the space beside Satoru, where Janne's presence seemed to waver slightly.

Satoru noticed the subtle shift in the girl's posture as she spoke, a faint hint of relief evident in her expression.

Despite her earlier aloofness, there was something almost reassuring about her acceptance of the situation.

It was as if she had come to terms with an unspoken arrangement that neither of them had fully understood.

Janne, observing the interaction, maintained her quiet composure, though a flicker of curiosity danced in her eyes.

The classroom's lively chatter seemed to resume around them, a backdrop to the unfolding conversation.

Soon, a professor entered the classroom, and the lively atmosphere quickly hushed. The once bustling room fell into a respectful silence as students settled into their seats, turning their attention toward the front.

The professor, a figure of authority and grace, carried an air of scholarly poise, commanding the room's focus with a mere presence.

Satoru and the girl ceased their conversation, redirecting their attention to the front of the classroom as the professor began the lecture.

The atmosphere shifted to one of focused attentiveness, with students settling into their seats and preparing their materials.

The once lively room now hummed with the soft rustle of pages and the quiet murmur of shuffling papers, as the professor's voice began to fill the space with knowledge and instruction.

......

Soon, the class concluded, and most of the students had departed, leaving only Satoru, the young lady, and a few others who were tidying up their seats.
