“…So, Haru-sama, Monica, would you care to explain what exactly is going on here?” (Alexandra)
““…”” (Harold/Monica)
Hello, this is me, Harold. I am currently kneeling in the common lounge for both male and female students in the dormitory. My legs are completely numb. The reason? There’s no need to ask, is there? My partner Cas betrayed me and ratted me out to Xandra. No matter how many times I explained that it was a misunderstanding, Cas just said, “Oh? In that case, there’s no harm in telling Xandra, right?” and spilled everything to Xandra as soon as they met.
“So, as I said, this is a misunderstanding. Monica is also… ‘important’ to me, but in a different way from how Xandra is important to me.” (Harold)
“And how exactly is it different?” (Alexandra)
Xandra continued to press me, her gaze as cold as absolute zero.
But is she maybe a little less angry now? If so, now’s my chance.
“Of course. You are my most precious one, more special than anyone else. I swear it to God.” (Harold)
“Wha!? I-I see… If that’s the case, then I suppose…” (Alexandra)
“So… you mean… my relationship with you was nothing more than just a fling?” (Monica)
Monica, would you stop trying to make this situation more complicated? I mean, don’t you want to get out of this situation as soon as possible?
“Haru-sama.” (Alexandra)
“I-It’s really nothing like that! I don’t even remember ever fooling around with Monica… Monica, would you please explain too!?” (Harold)
“Haah… Haru, sometimes you’re surprisingly clueless. It’s actually kind of bad.” (Casparleague)
Hey Cas, what’s that supposed to mean? I’m always aware of Xandra’s feelings. In the end, we went on like this for a whole hour…
—
“I see. That scum has finally fallen to the level of something below trash.” (Alexandra)
Finally, Xandra’s mood had softened, and she nodded with a hand over her mouth.
“Yes. Monica said she was going to infiltrate his party, but that’s out of the question. So, we’re thinking of stopping his scheme another way…” (Harold)
While talking with Monica and Cas, I couldn’t come up with any good ideas, but maybe Xandra will think of a clever plan. Despite appearances, she’s not only cute and strong.
“For example, how about informing the academy that the scum is up to no good and stopping him that way…?” (Alexandra)
“That would be impossible. I doubt the academy would defy Wilfred, who has King Eibar’s favor. And since the official purpose of the event is to foster friendship, there’s no real reason to interfere.” (Harold)
“True…” (Alexandra)
I thought of Xandra’s suggestion too, but even though royal members are treated the same as other students here, it’s just a facade. In the end, the academy can only follow Wilfred’s lead.
“…Then, what if we appeal to a power higher than this academy?” (Alexandra)
“A power higher than the academy… ah!” (Harold)
I see! So that’s the approach!
“This academy has my two older brothers… Brother Cardis and Brother Raphael! And there’s also my brother-in-law, Cedric!” (Harold)
“Yes. First, we should ask for the support of your older brother, and then speak to His Highness Raphael.” (Alexandra)
Yes, yes, with this, we might be able to stop Wilfred’s scheme before it happens.
“As expected from Xandra! I’d completely overlooked that!” (Harold)
“N-Not at all… as long as I could be of service to you, Haru-sama…” (Alexandra)
I took her small hand and exaggeratedly expressed my gratitude, causing Xandra to blush and look down.
She’s usually so composed, but seeing her flustered like this is adorable.
“Now that that’s settled, let’s put our plan into action. Monica.” (Harold)
“I will call for Cedric-sama right away.” (Monica)
Monica left, and ten minutes later…
“My apologies for the delay. And… congratulations on your enrollment, Alexandra.” (Cedric)
“Thank you, Onii-sama.” (Alexandra)
Upon his arrival, Cedric narrowed his already-slit eyes further and offered words of congratulations.
Actually, it looks like his eyes are completely closed. Is that why, despite me standing right next to Xandra, he’s treating me like I’m invisible?
“Um… can we get to the main topic now?” (Harold)
“Your Highness Harold… I didn’t realize you were here.” (Cedric)
Hey, I’ve been right here this whole time? “Blind as a bat” doesn’t even begin to cover it. And could you not scowl just because I interrupted, you siscon?
“Onii-sama.” (Alexandra)
“Ah, my apologies. So, what is it that you wish to ask?” (Cedric)
“Yes.” (Harold)
I explained the situation regarding Wilfred’s party. Ideally, I’d like Cedric, the heir of Chevalier Household, and the Second Prince Raphael to help us get it canceled.
“Hmm…” (Cedric)
“What do you think? Surely, if you and Brother Raphael both say something, the academy will prioritize your request over Wilfred’s.” (Harold)
“No, that will likely be difficult.” (Cedric)
“Why?” (Harold)
“Think about it. We may not know exactly what he’s planning, but the official reason for the gathering is to promote friendship among new students. Even if Prince Raphael and I were to object, unfortunately, we lack a legitimate reason to do so.” (Cedric)
Cedric’s reasoning makes sense. If we go through with this, the academy will only see it as harassment on our part. But we still don’t know exactly what they’re plotting, only that Monica read it from their lips. There’s no evidence. Then…
“…Well, it’s not that there’s no way to go about this.” (Cedric)
Cedric slightly opened his slit eyes and lifted the corner of his mouth.
