Chapter Eleven: Lunch Break, Chinese Meals, Identity!
(Two chapters today, check them out!)
"I have nothing to do with that person!"
In the commotion, Broom suddenly spoke loudly.
"I'm not her, so I can't tell you anything."
Obviously, Broom is not very willing to speak on the topic of his sister.
"Uh..." x the whole class
"Ahem!"
At this time, Ilia cleared her throat, attracting the attention of the whole class who had been silenced by the broom.
"I must make a statement in advance. Regarding the whereabouts of Dr. Zhizhi, I have no idea at all. The core and is information are all delivered directly to the royal family in a package."
Speaking, Ilia narrowed her eyes slightly.
"As for why? Dr. Zhizhi chose to submit these to the royal family. I'm sorry that I don't know."
"Uh..." x the whole class
The whole class fell into silence again.
This time, I was frightened by the unmistakable oppressive look in Ilia's slightly narrowed eyes.
"...Teacher Yamada, please continue teaching."
After a moment of silence, Chifuyu opened her mouth and motioned for Maya to continue her lecture.
"Well? Yes!!!"
Zhenye was stunned for a moment, and then responded immediately.
"Then let's continue the class. Everyone, please open the textbook. Today we will continue to learn what we learned yesterday."
After hearing this, Illya yawned slightly. Another boring time began, a simple boring time for Illya.
"IS, infinite-stratos, has a special energy protective shield covering the operator's body. IS has something similar to consciousness, a mutual dialogue. That is, understanding each other through being together for a long time, which is proportional to the manipulation time
.”
IS's theoretical classes are still in progress, and it seems that there will still be some time before the actual operation classes. After all, we are still freshmen.
"IS will also understand the characteristics of the operator. Therefore, IS is not a prop. Please treat them as 'partners'. At this point, do any students want to ask questions?"
The theoretical narration has come to an end for now, and it’s time for questions.
"Ask a question!"
Soon someone raised their hands to ask questions.
"Partners, are they just like boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"cough!"
Hearing this, Illya coughed lightly.
Okay. It should be said here that Ilia choked on her own saliva and coughed.
"Owner?"
Penglai felt that today's master had a lot of sudden symptoms.
At this time on the podium, Zhenye was also frightened by this question.
"This, this...how should I answer..."
Maya was a little at a loss, and said the following lines shyly.
"I have no experience, so I don't know...what it's like~"
Then the whole class started laughing.
"The teacher is so cute!"
This was also the comment.
'Very good...this is the legendary girls' school. How should I put it? It's really unexpectedly bold. Daily?'
Seeing the daily life of a girls' school for the first time, Illya was made to choke on her saliva. It seems that this is understandable.
The only boy who was equally embarrassed by this scene as Illya was Ichika.
"Phew...it's finally over!"
After class, Ichika stretched a lot.
"Ilia! Do you want to go to dinner together?"
Next came lunch break. Based on roommate etiquette, Ichika extended an invitation to Illya.
"OK."
There was nothing to do anyway, so Ilia nodded and agreed.
"Sorry, wait a moment. I'll invite someone else."
With that said, Ichika walked towards Broom, who looked a little lonely, and it seemed that he was ready to invite him to have a meal with him.
"Your Highness Princess! How could you agree to such a casual invitation from that commoner!"
At this time, Cecilia came closer.
"Look at him, he actually left you aside. Doesn't this mean he doesn't take you seriously at all? It's really..."
Cecilia, as always, had a strong opinion of Ichika.
"Okay, Cecilia. It's not good to be rude like this!"
Illya waved her hand to interrupt Cecilia's remarks.
"Acceding to the requests of the subordinates is the way to show our magnanimity. Besides, we can't force the subordinates to understand what noble etiquette is. I'm afraid they won't be able to use it in their lifetime."
Saying that, Illya stretched out her hand and tapped Ichika's back.
"Moreover, as opponents, we need to show our magnanimity. To convince the opponent mentally and physically. This is what we should do. Do you understand?"
"I have learned a lesson! Your Royal Highness, you are truly a role model for us!"
Cecilia looked at Ilia with a learned look on her face, seemingly completely accepting what Ilia said.
Okay. Let us ignore Illya's deception and turn our attention to Ichika and Broom.
After many invitations from Ichika but no response from Broom, Ichika changed his strategy.
"Who wants to go with us?"
Facing the class, Ichika sent out an invitation.
"Yes! Yes!"
"I'll go! Wait a moment!"
"Even though I made a bento, I still want to go!"
There was an immediate response, and the three girls responded enthusiastically to Ichika's invitation.
"There is nothing I can do. Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has also gone, I'll just make it difficult for you!"
Cecilia also responded to the invitation, but obviously she didn't respond for Kazu's sake.
"Of course, it's just that I'm reluctant to be invited by my subordinates. It's not that I'm reluctant to dine with Her Royal Highness!"
"Okay, okay. I know. No need to explain, let's go to the restaurant!"
Illya patted Cecilia on the shoulder, pushed her back and walked out. If she continued talking, she would definitely start a fight with Ichika again.
"Ah! Then you go first, we will be there soon!"
Ichika waved to Illya, then turned to look at Broom.
"If you are a classmate, you should still build a good relationship! Right? You think so too, right?"
…
In the restaurant, Ilia and Cecilia, who had ordered their meals, found a relatively large empty table and sat down.
"Your Highness, Princess, likes Chinese food?"
Cecilia asked this question while looking at Ilia's meal. Needless to say, she ordered Western food.
"Well? Me? I'm just used to eating."
Illya tilted her head and answered Cecilia's question. She dug into some mapo tofu and tasted it.
"It seems pretty good, very authentic."
"Oh? It seems that Her Highness the Princess knows a lot about Chinese food!"
Cecilia became interested. She was very interested in this princess whose country existed in name only but still bore the title of Her Royal Highness.
"Ah, it's okay. Before I was recalled by the royal family, I had been living in China."
As she spoke, Illya nimbly moved the chopsticks in her hand twice, indicating that using this was a very common thing for her.
"I believe you should also have heard about my identity issue."
"Well...yes. You are the one..."
Cecilia was a little speechless. This kind of problem is common among nobles, but it's just a little hard to talk about.
"That's right. I am my father's illegitimate daughter. If my father hadn't grown old and started to miss the past, I might have ended up in China."
Illya said it very disapprovingly. Not to mention that Ilya didn't care too much about this kind of thing in the first place. It was just that she decided on this identity herself.
Regarding the nobility and the issue of illegitimate children in the royal family, it is difficult to explain, so it is also difficult to investigate. Moreover, many nobles and high-ranking people in the royal family do not even know when they had illegitimate children after going crazy.
This is the perfect disguise for Illya.
In addition, all the members of the royal family were hypnotized by Illya one by one, and they firmly believed that Illya was the king's illegitimate daughter.
This way it becomes flawless.
