I Didn't Even Want To Live, But God Forced Me To Reincarnate! Chapter 108: First Day Of School!

Today finally marks my first day in school! …for my second playthrough in life, though!

I woke up so early in the morning to prepare for everything—from wearing my brand-new uniform and using Alt-nii's birthday present as my hair ties, wearing my brand-new shoes and bag… Everything is brand new…?

It's decided that I will be going to school along with Alt-nii and Clavis-nii, so we will be departing using a carriage~ Since it's not that far and it doesn't take so long, we will only be using a normal carriage instead of the mana carriage. I wonder if someday, I can use my own magical power to make a mana carriage run? …Will my parents ever let me, though?

"It's your first day at school, Lyra! Are you excited?" Alt-nii asked.

"Yeah!" I answered full of excitement.

"Hee… what's so good from school? You're going to regret getting so excited over the fact that you will be going to school every day in your life for who knows how many years…," Clavis-nii sighed.

"School is kinda exciting," Alt-nii argued.

"I'd rather play and sleep…"

"Then, why don't we play and sleep at school?"

"During the lesson?"

"Well, as long as you can catch up with the lesson!"

…Alt-nii?! You are definitely not a model student that I can look up to…

"Oh yeah, I should change my eye color for my convenience!" I just realized that I haven't changed my red eye color to become blue again, just like the other day when I did my entrance exams.

"Eeeh, what's the deal, Lyra? It's useless anyway. You can just drop that and be yourself," Alt-nii asked.

"Well, I don't really like being the odd one…? And I don't really want to spend my time explaining how my eye colors are different…"

"Just say that you're a Hartmann, and everything is done~"

"Uh… but… I think there's a certain someone that knows me with this appearance—I mean, with both my eyes blue, so… anyway! What is in schedule for this first day?" I deliberately tried to change the course of this conversation.

"Well, maybe just an opening ceremony like always, followed by homeroom… and briefing, I guess. At least it's a relaxing day," Clavis-nii shrugged.

"Hee…"

"Oh yeah, Lyra, since we'll be sorted according to the cla.s.s and grade, then we won't be able to accompany you there. Will you be okay?"

Alt-nii is finally acting like a model big brother!

"No worries, I have promised Kiri and Luca so we will be together!"

And then, I noticed something.

"Sorted according to the cla.s.s and grade? That means…"

I will be able to find Iris! Yes, she's definitely accepted into Harmonia Academy!

"Yes, Lyra?"

"Oh, no, Alt-nii, I'm just thinking that I will be able to find a friend I made during the entrance exams!"

"You mean, that Iris girl?" Alt-nii asked, and I nodded.

"I'm sure her name is kinda familiar, but I keep forgetting it…," Clavis-nii tried to recall, but to no avail.

Just like that, we suddenly arrived at the Harmonia Academy! I went to the sign board to get a better look at the school's map—before I remember that I'm bringing the school's map that came along with the admission papers. So, this morning… we're all gathering in the auditorium.

Upon entering, the auditorium is sooo huge! And there are quite a number of students already present in the auditorium, almost all are chatting happily that the auditorium becomes so noisy.

Before Clavis-nii and Alt-nii left me, they helped me find Kiri and Luca, which means the gathering spot for the fresh batch of special cla.s.s students. Clavis-nii tried to act naturally in front of Luca, but I can sense his tenseness in front of him, and I bet Luca also noticed it, yet we didn't mention anything.

"Huh? Lyra's eyes…?" Kiri asked when he noticed both of my eyes were blue.

"Ah, this little Lyra wants to be lowkey, so she said! Although it's kinda useless. Besides, you're just going to postpone the trouble of explaining and so on to your future self…," Alt-nii added.

…Well, true that! This solves nothing… as I also get the hunch that it would be revealed sooner or later.

"Okay, then after finding Iris—no, after I have to mention that I am one of the Hartmann, then I will call off this disguise and stop postponing the trouble of explaining and so on!" I made a vow in front of Luca, Kiri, Clavis-nii, and Alt-nii after giving it further thoughts.

After chatting for a while, Alt-nii and Clavis-nii went to gather with their cla.s.smates, in their rightful spot. I wonder who established these spots… Was it an uppercla.s.sman? Or a teacher?

It's not that important though, because it's convenient this way.

I glanced to the left and to the right—then I went off to the front and to the back…

"Lyra, what are you doing? Lost something?" Luca asked me after witnessing my strange behavior.

"I'm looking for Iris."

"Oh, the friend you talked about?" Kiri also added.

"Yup."

"Perhaps she's not in special cla.s.s, after all?" Luca asked.

"Hmmm… it can be…," I replied dejectedly.

"You haven't seen her anywhere else among the new students?" Kiri followed my line of sight, looking like he was helping me to find her… despite not knowing what Iris looked like.

"Not yet…"

"Then, she isn't enrolled here?" Luca quickly deducted.

"Don't say that, I'm sure she'd at least get accepted here!"

I turned a sharp glare towards Luca who was surprised and flinched.

"Hey, calm down, I was just stating the possibilities!"

"Don't say that kind of a bad possibility! Have you ever heard that words are prayers?!"

"Uh… L-Luca, Lyra, calm down… Please…?"

"Hmph, Luca is so insensitive! What a kid!" I turned around and crossed my arms in front of my chest.

Yup, obviously he's just a 6-year-old kid, his mentality is much like a kid's, unlike me whose mental age is umpteenth times above his.

"Whaaa?! Hey, you're the younger one here!"

"Ah, uh, uhm, you two…"

Kiri tried to put himself between Luca and I, who were still bickering. He looked so fl.u.s.tered.

"Age is just a number! Maturity isn't measured by your physical age! You don't even understand that?! Whippersnapper!"

What a brat he is! Indeed, my first impression of him is… that he was such a brat.

I think Luca's going to have that label in my mind from now on.

"Whippe-what?!" Luca asked me, his expression… he really has never heard of that vocabulary before!!

"Pfft, you don't even know that? Haha!" I get to laugh at Luca, which is one of my guilty pleasure!

"…Khhh…"

I have managed to render the crown prince speechless! Mwahahahahaa!!!

Setting that small victory aside, I sighed.

"Iris… Just where are you…"

My first female friend, you hold a special place in my heart, and I wish that our friends.h.i.+p can last!

I remembered that I felt like I "befriended" other female friend back when I was just a small Reinst, but then suddenly, before I even noticed it, I never really saw her anymore…

But since I now have a mature mind, I'm sure I can try to keep the friends.h.i.+p going! This is yet another advantage I have.

When I think about it, reincarnating isn't such a bad thing.
