"Alright! Sorry for being late!!"
The moment that voice echoed, a boy entered the classroom. There may have been a reason for his tardiness, but tardiness is tardiness.
"Late on the very first day of enrollment… What nerve— Ugh!? Y-you are…!!"
The homeroom teacher Oriana wore a look of disbelief. But it was only for an instant. Oriana's expression gradually changed into one of shock and terror.
"Nice to meet you, teacher. Sorry for being late for various reasons. May I enter?"
"Y-yes… Please do…"
Oriana nodded while looking shaken. She had been closest to the entrance, so she recognized the latecomer's face first. The others didn't have that advantage. The surrounding students looked puzzled by Oriana's nonchalant acceptance of the latecomer. Especially Rebecca and Ero-Ra, who hadn't calmed down yet.
"Hey! What's with this attitude after being late— Hii!?"
"Even if the teacher forgives me, this me— Aah!?"
"U… Ah…"
