บท 262: Promise

"What group did you end up in?" I inquired of John as we exited the classroom.

John shrugged nonchalantly. "Two guys I don't know and Amelia Dolphis."

"Ah, you're spending quite some time with her," I remarked with a teasing smile. "Is it fate—"

"It's only been two times," John interrupted with a groan. "And the group isn't exactly a social one. Amelia is the only one doing the talking."

Well, she was the sole girl, and even she might have felt a bit awkward. John wasn't particularly talkative either, much like myself, and the others in his group were likely "mobs" who wouldn't even dare to meet Amelia's gaze, considering her status as a Great Noble.

"What about your group?" John returned the question.

"Sirius, Sephira, and Elizabeth," I replied with a wry smile.

John grimaced upon hearing that. "You're no different from a Protagonist when it comes to attracting important characters."
