After that, time seemed to move by so slowly, yet so quickly. So hectic, yet so peaceful.Nothing out of the ordinary happened, but each and every day felt so precious and colorful, unlike the grey and suffocating world that I also saw with my very own two eyes. However, the pair of eyes I used to view these two worlds were also different. Perhaps, all I needed to do back then was to exchange the eyes I used to view the world (literally). (*°∀°)


Or perhaps I still felt that my days were colorful despite the hectic days of being a special class student due to my past life's knowledge...Speaking of which, I spent my time peacefully during Luca's seventh birthday, perhaps thanks to the event that happened on his sixth birthday or due to the fact that I was together with Iris and Carbuncle too.


Still not accustomed to noble parties, Iris was a bit nervous, but she was fine. On the contrary, since we had to hide the fact that Carbuncle was actually a dragon from all the nobles present, Carbuncle was portrayed as "the curious commoner friend" that we all befriended at school.I felt my heart skipping a beat when I heard those insensitive nobles who didn't even have the ability to control their voices' volume...


'What do we do if Carbuncle was enraged due to their comments?! It would surely be disastrous!' so I thought as I recalled Carbuncle being a prideful one.Surprisingly, Carbuncle passed by those insensitive nobles without even changing her expression. But after she walked away from them...


"Ouch!""Hya?!""Kya!!""..."


When Carbuncle arrived near me, I heard her chuckling and muttering, "Serves you right!""...What did you do?""Hmm? Nothing, just giving them some electric shocks!""..."


Meanwhile, those nobles..."What was that?!""Was it static electricity?""But that hurt!"


The nobles then were fussing about the electric shocks they received, but none of them suspected Carbuncle. After all, Carbuncle didn't even show any suspicious movement when she passed by them, and she did that after she walked quite a distance from the nobles.Lesson learned: Never mess with Carbuncle!



Other than that incident, Luca's seventh birthday passed by without a hitch. Iris' birthday was on Day 1 Month 5, but perhaps since she was an illegitimate child, her birthday wasn't celebrated in a noble party... Only her sixth birthday was celebrated.Their reasoning? Well, since Iris was living in Harmonia Academy's boarding house, it would be hard for her to make a trip home.


But... they didn't even hold any kind of celebration for her. I meant, some of the noble children who were living in the boarding houses also preferred their birthday to be held in the school area, with most of the guests were their friends and relatives who visited. Only a few of them preferred their birthdays to not be celebrated at all.No problem, though! In exchange, we held our own birthday celebration with Iris, though!


I would never forget Iris' happy face as she said, "I never expected that I could celebrate my birthday so warmly like this again!""Even if your birthday isn't celebrated by Sorreil family, we will always celebrate it like this, Iris!" I answered."Eh? N-next year and the year after that, too?""Next year, next next year, next next next year, and until when I have to return, I will also celebrate it with you!" Carbuncle added."...," Iris cast her eyes downward. After a short moment, she raised her face and smiled, "Un!"
