Having a better EQ this time around, I vowed that I would live a better life and form meaningful relationships! ...If it's possible for me.
"Lyra, sorry for holding you back, I'm done."
After waiting for a while, Iris went out of the toilet and called out to me.
"No need to apologize for this, Iris. Come, let's go to the classroom!"
I nodded and stood up after leaning against the wall to wait for her.
"Un!"
At the same time as Iris nodded as she said that, I felt something warm grasping my hand—ah, Iris' hand! We are doing what girls used to do: walking while holding hands! It feels quite embarrassing as this is a new experience for me... but there's no way I can refuse her hand!
Sometimes, I feel like I consider myself as a guardian with Iris as a child that I should protect rather than a friend of the same age... Not that I hate this feeling! I feel so reliable! Iris is so adorable and I don't mind having a daughter like her!
...No, don't ask who the father is!! I have no idea about that!
I can't even imagine being married now!! ...but I can already imagine having a cute daughter like Iris...? Eey, this and that are different things!!!
"Wait, Lyra, do you even know the way to our class?"
I stopped.
Oh right!! It's not my old school!!
But no worries!
I took out something from my pocket and told Iris reassuringly.
"No problem, I have a map of our school here! Let's take a look!"
"Lyra, you're so dependable!"
Praise me, praise me more, Iris-chan!! ...no, why am I so thirsty of praises? Calm down and mature up, me!
I briefly studied the map and pinpointed our current location and our goal.
It should be simple and easy.
"So, we are here... and our class should be there... so we go to... this direction! Let's go!"
"Okay!"
I grabbed Iris' hand and led the way.
This is what I should do as the elder, after all!!

...a few moments later...
"Lyra, where are we?" Iris stopped walking, so I also stopped in consideration of her... but what's with her question?! Obviously, this is...
...
"Huh? Uh... wait, where is this in the map?"
I realized that this area shouldn't be in our supposed track!
