At that moment, I was plagued by two dilemmas.
Firstly, the vivid memory lingering in my mind. Going a bit back in time to when Marika personally apologized to me... Suddenly, Marika vanished, and a surge of memories arose — scenes unfamiliar yet strangely familiar. They were vivid, so much so that they seemed etched into my mind. These sudden, unexpected memories caused confusion every time they were recalled. Initially, the weird sensation was off-putting, but it allowed me to rescue Marika safely, so I wasn't too bothered. In fact, aside from the favor to Marika, these glimpses gave me a vague sense of events that might occur in the future, which could be seen as a boon. It was as if I could see the future... or perhaps gain insight into upcoming events. It was a vague feeling, but these insights clarified my path forward.
Returning to the main issue, there was a problem due to this memory. The events vividly appearing in my mind showed a girl I was currently observing, Aris, at the center of an incident.
"Aris! I didn't quite understand the magic theory we learned last time. Can you explain it simply?!"
"Of course! Bring your textbook, and I'll explain!"
Aris was the top student in the school, fitting her position as the class president. I couldn't take my eyes off Aris, not because I had feelings for her, but because she was currently in danger. In the memory I recalled, she was kidnapped by heretics. While the exact time was unknown, she was walking alone on a deserted street during the day and was ambushed by several cloaked figures. Aris, unaware of their heretic nature, was alarmed by their menacing aura. Her pure and kind nature prevented her from causing harm, and her naivety made her an easy target. The scene of her being knocked unconscious and abducted was vividly playing in my mind.
Knowing this, I couldn't ignore it. Although the events in my memory took place at night, I kept an eye on her just in case. The main reason I came here was to apprehend the heretics, and if Aris got abducted, a challenging journey awaited. Rescuing her would mean identifying the heretics, extracting information, and finding her location. Even then, there might be false leads and wasted efforts.
"Ugh..."
The thought of such a tiresome future made me nauseous. While it was hard to believe this would become reality, given my experience with Marika, it seemed plausible. Although it might raise suspicions, I felt I needed to keep an eye on Aris.
"Harold? Who have you been staring at since just now?"
And the second problem...
"Why aren't you answering when I'm talking to you?"
The princess, whose attitude had changed rapidly after receiving my help...
Even at first, she slapped me in public, creating a hostile atmosphere. Anyone could guess our relationship based on that strong first impression...
But in just a few hours, everything changed...
"Look at me."
Now, she was not only friendly but also revealing some complex emotions.
"Weren't you and the princess literally at odds from the start?"
"Now you two seem too close..."
"Earlier, during the power test, the princess lost the bet but forgave you. Did that incident spark some new feelings?!"
Thanks to that, I had to endure the buzzing gossip of half the students... "So, are you two dating?!"
"Earlier, the princess calling the freshman was..."
