( Yuuki's POV )
When I accidentally discovered that roommate Charles was actually a girl, I sat on my bed while she finished changing, and when he came out of the bathroom again, she was a little nervous, to calm her down a bit, I threw her a can of soda like the first time we talked.
Yuuki: Relax, I'm not going to give you away or anything.
???: ....um thanks.
Yuuki: But at least you could tell me why you did this, and telling me your real name would be fine too.
???: My name is Charlotte Dunois and I faked my identity because my family told me to.
Charlotte had told me earlier that her family owned one of the largest manufacturers of IS units.
Yuuki: Your family ordered it, is that some kind of promotional move?
Charlotte: Basically yes.
Yuuki: But doesn't that put you in danger?
Charlotte: I don't think I'm on their list of concerns, you see, I'm not my father's wife's daughter.
I see, I'm seeing the picture more clearly now.
Charlotte: Two years ago when my mother died, an agent of the Dunois family came to pick me up but I only spoke to my father for a total of two hours, It was then discovered that I had the skills to be a pilot but my existence was a secret, and when news of two male pilots appeared, my father came up with the idea of sending me here undercover, In addition to the promotional part, I had to get information about you two and your units.
As I listened to Charlotte's story, my anger was increasing, and I had to concentrate on getting my powers in check.
Charlotte: *sigh* it feels good to be able to tell the truth, I'm sorry for lying to you all this time.
Yuuki: I don't care if you were a spy, in three years, everything will come to light, what will you do then?
Charlotte: Well, I will be returned to my country, and I will accept the punishment that is due to me, I will probably be thrown in prison.
Yuuki: ... Why are you so calm, are you okay with being used like that?
Charlotte: Well it doesn't matter, whether I'm used or not, I have no place to go back to.
Yuuki: Then come with me!
Charlotte: eh?
Yuuki: I'm not going to sit back and do nothing when my friend needs help, I don't give a damn about the Dunois family or what your country wants to do, if you don't have a home to return to I will give you one and if you don't have a family I will be your family.
Charlotte: Yuuki... You mean that.
Yuuki: I won't go back on my word, and I won't abandon my friends, you just have to trust me.
I got up from the bed and extended my hand towards Charlotte, she was going to take my hand, but she stopped in the end.
Charlotte: But what will Tsukiumi say, she is your fiancée, right?
Yuuki: She will understand, so no more doubts.
I grabbed Charlotte's hand and lifted her out of bed, she blushed hard, and she stayed quiet, but that silence was broken when my bed collapsed under its own weight, I guess I didn't contain my power very well.
Yuuki: Oh boy, I think I'll sleep on the floor tonight.
Charlotte: No, I can't let you do that.
After our serious discussion, things got very quiet, Charlotte didn't want me to sleep on the floor so we slept in the same bed, that wasn't a problem with me but Charlotte who was behind me was still a bit nervous, I tried to give her plenty of space but at that moment she hugged me and stuck to me.
Charlotte: Thanks Yuuki.
Yuuki: Why?
Charlotte: For worrying about me and trying to save me.
Yuuki: I'm not trying, I'm not going to let you feel alone again.
Charlotte: ...I believe you.
Charlotte snuggled up to me, and I could feel her chest on my back, how did she hide those puppies all this time? IS suits are very tight, and I hadn't noticed anything.
Charlotte: urhgg!
Charlotte let out a grunt of pain and I quickly turned around, it seemed she got hurt more in our battle than she let on and I guess she wasn't in a position to go to the infirmary, I lifted her shirt and used my healing magic, at first she blushed hard but she ended up amazed.
Charlotte: What was that?
Yuuki: There's a lot I have to tell you about myself, but for now, just rest it's been a long day.
Charlotte gave me a smile, and she buried her head in my chest, and I hugged her tight, it's not how I thought things were going to end, but that wasn't important.
////////////////////////
???: Orimura Ichika! Are you here?
The next day, Charlotte and I tried to act normal, and luckily for us, someone appeared who caught everyone's attention, she was a girl with brown hair tied in pigtails, I don't remember having seen her before.
Ichika: Oh is that you Rin? It's been a while.
Yuuki: Who is she?
I was watching from the back of the classroom and when I inquired about the loud girl, Charlotte responded.
Charlotte: She is Lingyin Huang, the candidate for representative of China.
Yuuki: huh, another candidate for representative, is she strong?
Tsukiumi: You want to fight her?
Yuuki: I'm not sure yet.
Ichika started talking to Lingyin, and another girl from our class named Houki joined in the conversation, Ichika referred to the two as her childhood friends, but those two girls didn't know each other.
'Fucking liar, he didn't say anything about two childhood friends when I asked him if he had a girlfriend or a childhood friend waiting for him.'
Seeing the interaction between the three of them and that Ichika was oblivious to the feelings the girls seemed to have for him, I concluded that he was a dense idiot, but that almost certainly eliminated him from my list of suspects, maybe there were no world travelers in this place.
When the teacher arrived, she told us that today we would have another practical class on the school track, and when we left, I noticed that someone was staring at me, I was always getting stares from the girls at school, but this was something different.
