An Old Country Bumpkin Takes a Walk

"Hello, Sensei~"

My instruction for the day was over, and all that remained was to head home. I was passing through the main gate of the headquarters, wondering whether to go straight home as usual or stop by a restaurant for dinner, when a woman called out to me.

"...Rose? What are you doing here?"

It was Rose, who I thought had said her goodbyes and left a little while ago.

Unlike the full plate armor she'd been wearing when we first met, she was now dressed in what was unmistakably casual wear: a lightweight cardigan and a long skirt.

"Heehee, I came because I wanted to see you, Sensei."

"Ah, right... I see."

It turned out her reason for being here was me. Well, I didn't have any particular plans, and Myui probably wouldn't complain as long as I didn't get home too late.

"So, did you need something?"

"No, nothing in particular~"...
