Chapter 44 - 44 - The Fair Is About To Begin!
Downstairs, we were welcomed by many students and their parents, several lines were formed for the delivery of uniforms, and at the same time, a large board was placed to let you know when classes are about to start.
The classes would start in the next week, it was a longer break than I thought I would have, I don't know if such a long interval is necessary.
But as we also had to get the uniform, we entered one of the lines. I started looking around for Bertga and Vinly, but I couldn't find them. There were a lot of people here, so it was not so easy to find them.
After that, we stayed in line for a long time.
Whenever someone took a uniform, they would leave the room, so the school was already starting to get a little empty, and even then, I couldn't find both.
'They've probably already left.' After that, I gave up on meeting them and waited for our turn to come. After long minutes, our turn finally came.
There was a table that was once full of uniforms, but now it was almost empty. A woman who appeared to be a little older than Nita was behind the counter, she seemed unmotivated to do this job.
She just looked at us for a moment and then handed us our uniforms. The woman seemed to be assessing our sizes since Ciphia's uniform was certainly bigger than the one we had.
After handing us the uniform, she pointed to the board that was displayed in the room saying when classes would start, I thanked her and then we went to exit.
"Doesn't this woman look sad?" Ciphia said as she continued to walk behind us.
Lisandra started to laugh the moment she heard this question: "I don't think she's sad, do you think Noah?"
"I think she is really unmotivated."
"Yes, that is what I meant."
We went outside and found those big courtyards, the first person to say something was Ciphia: "Just imagine us fighting here, that would be incredible, wouldn't it?" She had a sparkle in her eyes.
Don't tell me that she is a battle lover?
"When I start thinking about fighting someone, I just see myself being defeated and killed."
"My god that morbid, course you would not die. But of course, I will not say that you would not lose since you are weak ..."
"..."
"I think they would take it easy on you, don't worry. You are a very cute girl, obviously, they won't want to hurt you."
"And they will think you are a monster, you gorilla, they are sure to kill you at this school."
"What did you say?"
After this stupid discussion, we finally got outside the school. Again I was greeted by the same guard as before. For some reason, he seemed happy for me.
Don't tell me that he is proud of me? Thank you, sir.
After arriving outside the school, we were welcomed by many nobles who were still there talking and congratulating their children, it was a little shameful scene in my opinion.
Even older women and men were being congratulated as if they were small children.
"Didn't you come with your parents, Ciphia?" Since I hadn't seen her talk to anyone who looked like her parents, I assumed she was alone. I hadn't looked at her Status, so by the size of her I assumed she was older than us, so probably she's alone.
"Hmm, I came to the capital alone, and you?"
"We also came alone, we lived in a village a little far from here, I confess it was a tiring trip." Lisandra put her hand on her ass.
"Haven't you ever traveled before? It's normal for your ass to hurt, isn't it Noah?"
"I don't know, it was also my first time."
"Hmm, how amazing. A brother and a sister traveling alone like that, your mom must be proud." Ciphia came over and put her hand on our head.
"Very funny, your mother must also be very proud of you, your gorilla."
"Ah, my mother is already dead."
"..."
"..."
"I'm just kidding, she's alive, just a long way from here." Ciaphia smiled as she said that but Lisandra didn't look happy at all.
"That's not a good thing to say, you idiot." Lisandra approached Ciphia and punched her in her stomach for some reason, I really wish I could have stopped it, but this scene was funnier than it looked.
Ciphia took the punch like it was nothing, and I can understand it. Lisandra is so weak that she might even lose to a child a little stronger than normal.
"Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to go home, see you around."
"Okay, see you later," I said goodbye to Ciphia.
"See you later." Lisandra also said goodbye with a smile on her face.
After we said goodbye, we went back to the inn. I was a little discouraged since nothing had happened yet but also satisfied that the school was better than it looked. I certainly thought I would find only disgusting nobles, but I was mistaken.
At least the ones I met were good people ...

Today is the next day, we were currently seated and were waiting for our coffee to arrive.
Since we left school yesterday, we haven't done anything, so we were pretty bored, but it looks like things are starting to get interesting. Since yesterday I realized that the city had started to get busier.
It means that the fair that they talk about so much is approaching.
"Here it is." After waiting for some time, one of the women who works at the inn served our breakfast.
"Lisandra, do you want to participate in the fair?"
"Hmm, I don't know, do you want to? If you want to go I will go with you, but I'm honestly not..."
"I see ... Since you don't want to go, I also don't see why to participate."
"You really want to go, don't you?"
"I wouldn't say much, I just think it's going to be fun." Yes, I'm sure it will be fun, I have a feeling that if I go to this fair, I will have a lot of fun.
"So you can go, I can stay in the bedroom studying, I see no problem."
"Are you serious? You should come too, it'll be cool."
"Leave it to the next time, okay?"
"If that's what you want."
After that, we had our coffee and went up to the room again. Before going up I asked Sara when the fair would start, only to receive an answer that did not help me at all.
"It doesn't have a certain day to start, but I think it will be soon.." That was the most useless answer I have ever received, but I still thanked her.
