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

Kendo Club

"Good night, Satoru," Janne saaid softly.

"Good night, Janne. And please, try not to appear in my room again in the morning," Satoru replied, a teasing smile on his face.

Janne chuckled lightly, her laughter like a gentle melody in the quiet room. "I'll try my best," she promised.

They bid each other goodnight, the warmth of their camaraderie lingering in the air.

The next day, Satoru was relieved to find that Janne had indeed respected his request and did not appear in his room.

As he stepped out of his room, he was greeted by the enticing aroma of freshly baked bread wafting up from downstairs.

The scent was warm and comforting, promising a delicious start to the day.

"Today, we have our last loaf of bread," Janne said with a hint of melancholy. "Let's savor it while we can."

"Alright," Satoru replied, a faint smile on his face as he appreciated the effort Janne had put into preparing the meal.

Soon, two figures emerged from the cozy wooden house, stepping into the crisp morning air. Satoru, gazing up at the majestic Astralsya perched on the mountaintop, still felt a sense of awe.

"I still can't believe Astralsya is just a large academy. It looks more like a city to me," he remarked, his eyes wide with wonder.

"You can absolutely think of it as a city," Janne replied, her tone matter-of-fact. "The population, including both the residents inside and on the outskirts of the academy, is close to 20,000."

...

At the gates of Astralsya, Satoru turned to Janne, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

"I'll see you off here today," Janne said, her voice carrying a soft undertone of responsibility.

"I need to head back and prepare our dinner. We're almost out of meat at home."

Satoru nodded, appreciating her dedication. "Alright, take care. I'll see you later."

Satoru made his way towards the Celestial Atrium alone, feeling a slight pang of emptiness without Janne by his side.

The path seemed a bit longer, and the bustling streets of Astralsya appeared less vibrant.

He took a deep breath, resolving to make the most of his day and learn as much as he could.

He entered the Celestial Atrium, relying on his memory to locate the classroom where magic was taught.

As he stepped inside, he was surprised to find the room fall silent for a brief moment before a wave of whispers swept through the students.

Satoru sat at his desk, casting a thoughtful glance at Yuki as he mulled over his thoughts. Deciding to satisfy his curiosity directly, he spoke up.

"Hey, I heard you're a princess?"

Yuki's expression shifted subtly, a change so minute that it would be imperceptible to anyone who wasn't paying close attention.

She met Satoru's gaze and gave a gentle nod, her eyes reflecting a calm readiness for whatever he would say next.

"How do you manage to be so approachable? If I hadn't overheard the others talking, I would've never known you were a princess," Satoru continued, his voice tinged with pure curiosity.
