The next day was the day when Zoemi's father, Mizoe, would leave the academy and return to the Espines estate, as duke Espine called for him to return to his duties.
Zoemi was standing in front of the dormitory watching his father prepare the horse for the journey. He felt a bit weird, he wasn't a small child that would cling to his father on every possible occasion but he didn't really want him to leave...
"S-senior...!"
"...!"
And as it turns out, he wasn't the only one who didn't want to part with the pale-blue-haired knight...!
The blue-haired young female teacher came out of the Academy building and bashfully approached the father and son duo.
"Teacher Perserios! Good morning!"
Positively surprised Zoemi bowed toward his teacher.
"Oh! Zoemi! H-hello!"
She flinched as if she noticed him only then and there β but that certainly didn't upset the black-haired boy β opposite actually...!
"Lady Perserios, it's a pleasure to see you, what can I help you with?"
