chapter about a week ago.

I am really grateful if any of you can point out any mistake or

the correct translation for the kanji term. Thanks.

--------------------------

After having finished eating the lunch, I decided to stay in the

library a little bit more.

I’m scared of Emma, but she seems to be busy with work of the

committee from which she does turn her eyes.

Returning to the classroom will only create an awkward atmosphere,

it is also vain to walk around the streets.

Let’s read books to kill time.

Especially because there no books that I want read, I lightly look

around the bookshelf.

Then, an interesting title was seen in the eyes.

One of the five heroes who ended the magic disturbance.

Bright artist user who is believed to have the same peach blond

hair as me.

I lightly try to read oblique sentences in the prologue

[Primavera, along with the Great Sage

Graylord who is also one of the five heroes,

He is one of the best bright artist

masters in history.

In contrast to Graylord that used all kinds of

exemplary bright techniques.

She used heavily aggressively bright technique which

is very unique in colour.

Primavera, which causes a number of miracles, can no

longer be called a normal bright artist user.

Therefore, she is called by the nickname of [Saint

Girl].

In contrast, from the battle shown on the battlefield,

generally it is not well known, but there are also names like this.

A flashily shiny flame master, and. [閃炎輝術師]

Her identity is enveloped in mystery, her family

originally from is unknown.

It is seen in the Fabre region, [ファーブル]

Officially, there are no records for her to have been

baptized by any brilliant steel stones of the major powers.

For that reason, she is said to be able to naturally

used the bright art.

[Natural Bright Artist] It is also said that it is

not.]

As

soon as I saw that word, a lie came out.

What

kind of human beings can used bright art by nature.

For

example, it seems like she can speak ancient words that she has never learned

from the beginning.

The

setting which cannot be thought normally, I have lost the reality of the person

named Primavera written in this book.

Anyway,

she still a hero who saved the world.

I

felt like it was stupid of me to compare myself with such a person, I quickly

lost interest and put the book back on the shelf.

When

I was looking at the next shelf, I got interested in the title again.

“Bright

Artist and Shining Warrior” 『輝士と輝攻戦士』

Yesterday,

Just-kun told me that his dream is to become a shining warrior.

I

cannot understand what kind of profession is shining warrior.

Knowing

it will make me more familiar with him.

I

thought so and picked it up.

E

tto…..Kenichito? Kenite…. It’s a Knight!

It

was the same as yesterday’s clothes shop sign, but it is really difficult to

speak of ancient word.

To

make it appear unique, northern ancient languages are sometimes used.

Basically,

it is an ancient language that casting bright art spells required used of it.

It

is one of the compulsory subjects to be learned in high school, we have to be

able to understand one by one by graduation,

I

wonder why by all means, I do not like the ancient languages….

I am

not good at mathematics and mechanical science though!

No,

it cannot be helped even if I feel depressed in such a place.

I

flipped through the pages.

Small

difficult lectures and interpretations are packed in small letters, my head got

filled as soon as I started reading.

Uu.

I think I want to understand Just-kun but it is painful to read difficult

books.

But,

let’s try hard and read.

I

want to know better. About him.

I

found out by reading it lightly and obliquely, it seems quite hard to become a

knight.

After

finishing his studies as a knight, he has to study for several years under the

active ladder, passing the exam…...it seems more difficult than becoming a

school teacher.

In

addition, to become a shining warrior, it needs an effort to bleed blood, only

one in hundreds have the talent.

Moreover,

in order to baptized to become a shining warrior, it is necessary to have

granted permission from the king of a big country.

A

person with talent is okay, it is useless no matter how much effort a normal

person cannot do it.

Just-kun,

even though you’re trying so hard, I feel sorry if you cannot get it.

I

bet he will prepare for such a thing, I wonder what he is trying to do.

While

admiring and turning over pages after pages, I found a place to worry about.

At

the end of the book, a note was added for the time being, the page was taken

independently of the others.

Shining

Warrior’s Slave Engage. [スレイブエンゲージ]

Slave Engage? An

ancient word that I have never heard.

Of

course, not only in classes and daily life, it has never come out even in this

book.

I

was somehow concerned and decided to read it in detail.

[With Slave Engage, it is not high-grade steel stone,

by contracting with bright artist user, you will be obtained equal abilities

similar to shining warrior.

Originally, the power came from the brilliant steel

stone,

By contracting with other persons with extremely high

bright power,

You can get the same strength as a Shining Warrior.]

Wow.

There is such a thing.

Indeed,

no testing is necessary for this.

[Slave Engage contracts are now almost entirely

obsolete.

The main reason is that there is no bright artist who

can contract with others.

It is the contract that gives the power equal to that

of Shining Warrior.

It is limited only to highly skilled professional

Due to the development of machinery, the percentage of

those acquiring bright arts is decreasing.

Unless it is a natural bright artist who has more

bright power--]

There

was a slightly worrisome word, so I read it again.

I

turned over the book from behind and looked up the publisher.

It

is an official book issued by powerful warrior Shutaru, it is different from

the so-called creation publication.

[輝士大国シュタールが発行している公式な書物で輝士大国シュタールが発行している公式な書物で]

Natural

bright artist was not a word in creation?

In

other words, there is exist a natural bright artist, is it possible to make a

contract to become a shining warrior?

As I

heard a noise nearby, I lifted my eyes off the book.

Before

I knew it, Emma was sitting.

“Ah,

please keep going on regardless of me.”

The

same smile as ever. It is now scary to the contrary.

“A,

un, Ema-chan, are you done with work of library committee?”

“The

latter person took it over, the committee will not have time to eat if they are

not working.”

Then,

she took out the lunch box from the bag and spread it to the place.

I do

not what she is going to do, but I want to get away as soon as possible!

“A,

so? Well, I am with this……”

“Please

wait. It is sad to eat alone. You are free anyway, do you? In case please spend

a time with me-yo”

Ema-chan

firmly grasped my arm wrapped in lunch boxes.

“Please

stay, let’s us talk”

“But,

but you see. Talking in the library is a nuisance around …”

“There

is no one around and it’s okay if it’s a bit.”

Indeed,

there are fewer students in the library during the lunch compare from the

former, most are already gathering in the seats near the entrance.

However,

even if we speak a little, it will not be annoying.

“You

ran away from the classroom”

“I’m

going to the toilet”

“I

wanted to talk with Ruche-senpai”

“I

heard that you are such a wonderful person”

It

is a strange feeling to be said in such a way because I did not expect to be

praised, I was pleased at once.

“But,

I was disappointed after seeing you honestly. You are just an ordinary girl. I

cannot understand at all which side is wonderful”

I do

not care at all, I do not think that myself is so cute!

But,

how about anything but a kid girl!? I am your senior!

I’m

getting angry at myself. While I am tempted by temple, I thought that I should

pay attention to a word as seniors, but I wonder what should I say, I am at a

loss for thinking about the right words.

Unexpectedly,

Ema-chan looks lonely.

“Inverunatta-senpai

likes such a lady.”

I

was stunned and completely forgot what I was thinking.

Huh?

Like…What do you mean?

“I’m

seriously look up to Inverunatta-senpai”

Ema-chan

took off her lines of sight and turned her eyes to the window looking far away.

“I’m

not the only one. All the 1st year students of swordsmanship

department are like that. In the second year and at the spring domestic

swordsmanship gathering party, she won the women’s individual warfare with such

an overwhelming strength. Beautiful, gentle, strong, dependable…… For use

Inverunatta-senpai is really like a painting hero.”

Senior

who can be depended on during club activities.

People

get along well and have good fun.

Not

only during exercise but also in the head and further with her appearance.

The

conditions to become the admiration of lower grade students are too maximum.

I already

know the usual Natta but…..

“Shopping

together with the person I adore is like a dream….It’s bad for my friends, but

I’ve been looking forward for it forever. But….Ruche, you hear me!?”

Now

there is no more false smile, clearly a hostile expression was glared at me.

I

unexpectedly respond to her normally in spite of being shocked.

Although

she was younger in sword fighting department but I cannot win against her.

“Inverunatta-senpai

was always talking about you, whether when you are choosing clothes or watching

club activities, every time there is always something about you”

“Wa,

watashi no?” [About me]

“With

a smiling happy face that was not shown even after the fight, Ru-chan is

Ru-chan. And, I’m not done yet. But, I thought I wanted to see it, the person she

always said so much…...and I was disappointed by seeing you.”

Even

if such a thing is told…. I don’t think that I am bad.

And,

Natta, why are you talking so much about me? Why?

Possibly,

she exaggerates my stupid story amusingly to make her junior’s laughing.

Oh,

I see. That is why this girl is so angry.

She

does not mind having friends like myself.

If I

think, I get angry more and more.

Natta-me,

what do you mean?!

“There

is no competition……”

Emma

is watching me with an amnesty face.

“I’m

fine, I, I will excuse myself.”

With

that said, Emma walked away somewhere.

What

is it? I do not understand!

When

lunch break was over, I returned to the classroom but Natta was nowhere to be

seen.

“You’re

back. She told me that she was not feeling well, probably sick”

Hmm.

I do not care, I do not know Natta.

If

she really caught a cold, I will not visit her.

“Well,

we talked with Natta for a while”

Because

I am blatantly confined, Tanya responded without hesitation.

“Natta,

I do not think that she is angry”

“She

told me you were overwhelmed, if Ruche breaks first, I think you can reconcile

immediately.”

“It’s

a lie! I tried to speak to her this morning! Yet, when I say to her, she completely

ignored me. I will never forgive her until Natta apologize to me.”

Both

of them were confused and looked at each other.

Even

if Natta seriously reflected on it, but I am still mad!

She

got in the way when I was having a good time with Just-kun and because of her I

got a grudge from Emma-chan!

Absolutely,

I will never apologize to her!

“Because

both of them are problems, I will not pinch my mouth any further….”

“We

appreciate it if both of you can make up and reconcile as soon as possible.”

I

think it is bad for Jiru-san and Tanya which looks like a sharp look.

I do

not want to keep it like this forever.

There

are a few minor fights, but I honestly puzzled from seen Natta’s reaction which

is different from what I have ever had.

I

want to get back as soon as I can.

Because

even I have a feeling too.

“……Sorry.

Wait a second.”

Taking

such unilateral attitude, am I going to apologize from here.

Even

now, I cannot break it, I cannot do it.

“I understand, but both Ruche and Natta are our

friends, so whatever happen, those facts will not change.”

Tears

are likely to come out in a wonderful friendship.

“Thank

you, Jiru-san. Tanya”

“By

the way, Ruche. What is that book you are holding from a while ago.”

What

she pointed out was “Bright Artist and Shining Warrior” which I had read a while

ago.

I

though about reading it more carefully and borrowing it.

I do

not need to hide, but it seems a bit embarrassing for me to be interested in

the story that I heard from a boy.

“Oh,

yes. Tanya, do you know natural bright artist?”

There

were also reasons to divert the topic, but I heard that there were more reasons

to say “maybe”, and more than that.

After

that, I searched for a concealed information related to the bright arts, but I

could not find any data on natural bright artist.

Perhaps

if I examine it well, there may be some books on it, but there was not enough

time to give up.

Tanya

has a lot of knowledge on bright arts to say that she is like a maniac.

Actually,

she cannot use bright arts, but her knowledge alone can beat the teacher that

teach the bright arts theory.

So,

I thought that Tanya would know it.

“Yup.

To the extent of the crowd.” [人並み]

Tanya’s

level of crowds, in many cases it is no doubt that she was labelled [Pretty Maniac]”

“How

many stories and biographies would you had?”

I

jumped over to Tanya and asked.

I

talked about yesterday’s Just-kun, that’s just a fictional story.

Well,

it might be a good match for killing time.

“Okay,

but what happened? Bright artists and natural bright artists”

“Well,

Haha. A little bit. I should try researching during summer vacation.”

While

it was an unnatural deception, Tanya did not pry on me deeply.

I am

embarrassed to say that it would be nice to expect that I was a natural bright

artist.

“Well,

are you coming to my house?”

I

grabbed Tanya’s hand and shook it briefly, she laughed with a troubled face.

“I do

not really understand what they are talking about…...”

Jiru-san

muttered as if it was not coming out of the conversation.
