Chapter 6 Part 1: Renatus and Rewind.

Translator: Michiko

Editor: LastinLine

It was a continuation of the situation at the library.

Torn notes were scattered at their feet. 

The torn pieces were not pleasing to the eye. Bradley’s eyes were dark as he stared at the remains, and even Renatus was saddened.

Then, Renatus made a suggestion to Bradley.

“Can you help me collect the pieces of the notebook? I’d like to see if I can restore it later with magic.” 

“Restore… you can do that?”

Renatus decided to ask Bradley incidentally about it. It had been a rare fun study session. So, it was extremely unpleasant for it to have been hampered by tactless outsiders. 

It was meant to be a light-hearted question. But before that…

“…I’m sorry.”

Bradley still seemed to be troubled and he apologized. He was obviously in low spirits, his eyes downcast and his face dark.

“Don’t make that face, okay?”

Renatus got flustered.

Er, I wish he would forget about it…I better do something about this somber mood. Something to make the mood more pleasant…

Renatus thought about what might be fun to do.

In my previous life, getting together in a friend’s room was fun. That was how I deepened my friendship with my friends during my student days. 

Now that we are supposed to be close friends, I want to experience something like that with him.

It was, absolutely, by no means driven by fan mentality, which was smeared with the desire to ‘see Bradley’s room as it is, which had not been depicted in the illustrations of the novel, but only through what had been written’.

“Bradley, shall we have a study session in your room?” 

“Huh?”

Renatus’ suggestion immediately got a reply with a nuance of ‘what the hell is this guy talking about’. The tone of his “Huh?” was low and scary.

“…I’m sorry, it was impudent of me.”

Renatus immediately reflected. 

After all, it’s only been one day since we officially became friends. It is probably too brazen of me to suddenly invite myself to his room. 

My fan mentality has gone too far and made a mistake in judging our emotional distance.

Bradley’s hand landed on the discouraged Renatus’s shoulder.

“No, it’s not that…the knight dormitory is dangerous.” 

“Dangerous?” 

“I can’t explain it well, but… Renatus coming to the knight dormitory is like a rabbit jumping into a pack of wild dogs.”

Come to think of it, Clarence had also similarly said, ‘There are some violent people out there’. 

I wonder if there are lots of fights in the athletic circle, after all. If someone as weak-looking as me was loitering around, someone might pick a fight with me. 

In my previous life, I had always been a herbivore, from when I had been a student to when I was an office worker. Currently, I can handle that sort of situation appropriately because I can use magic now, but I would still be scared if someone threatened me in a loud voice. 

I’m glad I chose the magic department. The magic dormitory is peaceful.

Bradley began talking again after he had paused for a moment to think.

“…How about I go there…” 

“My room?”

Renatus quickly became all too happy so he couldn’t help but question back in amazement. 

Bradley might have misunderstood it as something else. His face looked as though he thought he had messed up.

“I’m sorry. I am the one that is impudent.”

Bradley scorned himself and tried to withdraw his suggestion.

Eh, wait. Don’t give up so fast.

“Okay, then, my room. I’ll submit an application to the dorm. If you speak to the dorm supervisor, he will show you to my room, and then…”

Renatus spoke slightly faster and quickly decided on a study session in his room as if he were being chased. 

Once it’s decided, it’s over. I’ll get the paperwork done as soon as I can. 

Bradley was surprised even though he had been the one to bring it up. 

It was inconceivable to him that the son of a duke would invite someone he had just met into his room. Maybe that was why he couldn’t believe it.
