Chapter 225 - Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [22] (2/2)

To put an end to this topic, I said that and went to pick up my luggage in the corner of the schoolyard.

「…Hmm, what is this?」

There was a letter on my bag that read『To Allen-kun』.

(Letter to me… I wonder who’s it from?)

Thinking about that, I quickly looked through the contents of the letter.

『To Allen-kun.

I’m waiting on the rooftop.

I would be happy if you would come alone.』

It was a short letter of only two lines.

The sender’s name wasn’t written anywhere, but this paper and cute girlish writing is familiar.

(It’s from the president, isn’t it…?)

Just the other day, she went to the Holy Ronelia Empire alone, and left a note in the student council room.

The exact same type of paper was used, and the writing written in the letter was exactly the same.

The anonymous sender is most certainly her.

And then,

「Allen, what is it?」

「Is it a letter…?」

After they finished packing their bags, Ria and Rose asked me.

「Aa, it doesn’t have the sender’s name, but… It’s most likely from the president.」

The moment I muttered so without a care,

「「……」」

For some reason, their faces were dyed with tension.

「A-Allen… How do I say this… If you don’t mind, could you tell me what’s written on it?」

「I-I would like to know too…」

Ria and Rose gulped and said with a quivering voice.

「Nothing important is written really. “I want you to come to the roof by yourself” is all.」

And as I told the contents of the letter indifferently,

「”Rooftop” and “alone”!?」

「I-I see… So they’ve decided to settle the match.」

They whispered so with a grim face, and fell silent.

「……」

「……」

「……」

In the corner of the schoolyard, which has become dim, an indescribable heavy air began to flow.

A few minutes passed as we kept silent, and my hands were getting colder little by little. Unable to endure the silence, I spoke up.

「E-Err… If I keep the president waiting for too long, it will become troublesome. So I’ll go to the rooftop for a moment, okay?」

「Ye-Yeah… okay.」

「We’ll wait here.」

Ria and Rose, with gloomy looks, just nodded.

「I’ll be back as soon as I’m done.」

Then, I left the two in the schoolyard and turned to the rooftop of the main academy building.
