When I finished dinner and went back to my room, Yulina hadn''t come back yet.


    She said she was going to take me to the bathroom - I think it''s been quite some time.


    Tina and Yulina-san hadn''t finished their dinner, but the lady in the cafeteria had taken their portions while I was eating by myself.


    Well, I didn''t stop her, because I didn''t think it was any use to her.


    I start packing up my things to change rooms.


    As I was packing up, I caught sight of Yulina''s underwear again... but I managed to keep my reasoning and persevere, all sorts of things.


    Shaking off the temptation of the red cloth, I pack up my things and leave the room.


    Although I only spent one night with Yulina-san, yesterday was a very intense day.


    I leave the room and somewhat bow at the door.


    The room will be different from Yulina-san''s, but I want to continue to be friends with her.


    I walk down the hallway, looking at the paper Yelle-san gave me.


    Go down this hallway, turn here, and then here?


    I stand at the door of the room and check the paper for directions.


    Yeah, it''s here.


    Dinner time is over, so the person I''m going to be with is probably already in the room.


    So I knock on the door and say hello.


    ''Excuse me, I''m Eric Aulin, I''m going to be rooming with you today.


    It''s nighttime, so I can''t speak too loudly, but I feel like I''m loud enough to reach the room.


    Then the voice reaches me, and I immediately hear footsteps from inside.


    ''Oh, Eric-kun?　I''ll open it now.


    .... hmm?　I heard a voice from inside, but it was pretty high pitched for a guy.


    As I thought that, the door was pulled inward and I saw my roommate''s face.


    ''''I''ve heard about you from the Commander. It''s good to see you today.''''


    Oh, yeah, nice to meet you....


    I got stuck for words in the middle, but I managed to connect with them.


    It looks like a girl for all intents and purposes, doesn''t it?


    She has short golden hair, just long enough to barely cover her ears.


    She''s also a head shorter than me, maybe even smaller than Yurina-san.


    She has a clear nose and a very beautiful face that gives me the impression of a woman.


    She came out of the room and greeted me with a pretty smile as she looked up at me.


    ''What''s up with the freezing?　That''s a lot of luggage.　Come on in.


    Oh, yes, no, no, I mean... excuse me, one question?


    Hmm?　What is it?


    He tilted his head so that he could hear a koten, a sound.


    I don''t think too many people look good that way but it''s very pretty.


    You''re a woman... right?


    No?　I''m a man.


    ''You know, a woman... what?　No?


    Yeah, no.


    What? No?　If you''re not a woman you''re a man, right?


    I''m sorry!　That was rude of me to ask!


    No, it''s okay - I''m used to it.


    He waved his hands in front of his face and laughed and forgave me.


    I didn''t expect him to be a man with this look...I''m not sure I understand the difference between a man and a woman.


    ''Oh, you didn''t tell me your name. Elena Millwood, you can call me Elena.


    E. Elena, right? I understand.


    Elena.... her name sounds a bit feminine, doesn''t it?


    Oh, you just thought my name sounded feminine, didn''t you?


    Oh, yeah, I''m sorry.


    Well, that''s honest.


    He puts his hand over his mouth and smiles cheerfully.


    He doesn''t look like a man either.


    ''I heard my parents mistook me for a girl when I was born that''s why they named me a girl.


    Oh, really...


    ''Well, now I like the name because it''s cute too.


    When you''re born you don''t usually make that mistake, do you?


    Because babies are born naked.


    You had your p*n*s on tight, didn''t you?


    What?


    Ha-ha, Eric, you''re easy to read.


    Elena looked at me and smiled as if she had done it.


    Was it that easy to understand?　It''s just plain embarrassing........


    And so I walk past Elena-san and enter the room.


    The structure is almost the same as the room I was in a moment ago, and the bed in the back seems to be where I sleep.


    ''''Eric, you''re 16 years old, right?''''


    I talk to Elena as I unpack and talk to her.


    ''Yes, I do.''


    ''''It''s amazing that you can join the Order at such a young age. I only joined last year when I was 19 years old, but I thought I was still young enough to join.


    If you were nineteen last year, that means you''re twenty this year!


    You don''t look at all - I mean, you look younger than me, no, younger than me.


    ''Mmm, Eric, you thought I didn''t have any dignity, didn''t you?


    No, I don''t think so!


    She glares at me again, puffing out her cheeks as she feels something in my face.


    No, a face like that would normally just be weird if it were a guy... but why is it so cute?　You''re a 20-year-old male, right?


    Really?


    He asked me a question, peeking at my face from below.


    Her appearance is very girly and cute than a bad girl.


    Elena-san, who asked me while looking up and getting teary-eyed...............................I got nervous and looked away.


    ''''........it''s true.


    Oh, you looked away. I knew it.


    No, if I kept my eyes on you any longer, I would feel strange....


    ''''Just because it''s just the two of us in the room.......you can''t make me feel weird, okay?


    Yes, sir!　I''m sorry!


    ''Oh my God, you scared me!　Eric, what''s going on with your loud voice all of a sudden?


    ''What?　Huh...?


    I thought I heard Tina''s chilling voice... was it my imagination?


    I was so scared.... but it helped me to stay calm.


    ''''Oh, I need to take a bath soon.


    Elena said as she looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the room.


    ''Eric, you go in first,''


    No, Elena, you first.


    I''ll be fine.


    ''You can''t go in before your seniors...''


    There''s no way I can be rude to take a bath before the senior who will be rooming with me from today.


    ''''Hmmm, Eric, you''re very polite. Well then, shall we bathe together?


    ...Heh...?


    A funny voice escaped my mouth at the suggestion.


    ''And it''s not that cramped in size for the two of us.


    It''s true that the bath we took yesterday was pretty big, and if this room is of the same construction, it won''t be a problem for about two people.


    And, you know, it''s what they say about men going out naked with each other, isn''t it?


    No, I mean, are you sure?


    Yeah, Eric, you don''t like that?


    ''I don''t mind, sir, but...''


    Why don''t you just join us?


    With a change of clothes in one hand, she reaches out her other hand to me with a dazzling smile.


    It''s a little too difficult to say no to this ..........


    ''.........wow, okay.


    I made up my mind to go in.


    "And, Eric, you smell something.


    ...Don''t say that.


    A few minutes later, I got out of the bath without incident.


    Well I won''t say that I saw Nani, but Elena was firmly a boy.
