Chapter 14 Part1 (2/2)
Lidy also seems to be sitting in the front row. Her seat is right in front of the teacher's desk.
Rafael who usually comes early in the cla.s.sroom isn't here.
I also don't see Serge and Camille who's always with him.
Is it the first event(of the game)? It can't be…
The event at the entrance ceremony will take place in the common route. It's because there's no clear target for the love interest yet.
I dug deep through my memories.
At the beginning of the game, the capture targets are Rafael and the other two, the setting is during the move from the public hall to the cla.s.sroom. The main lead helps a cat who was unable to get down from a tree, but the cat she saved will run away from her arms and jump on Rafael's face.
Fortunately, neither the human nor animal has been hurt and the event finishes…. Yeah, I kinda want to see Rafael with a kitten in his face.
After Rafael and company know that they're in the same cla.s.s as the main character, they will end up going to the cla.s.sroom together.
If it's according to the game, that is.
[Sheryl-kun, what's wrong? You're making difficult expressions.]
[Nothing, just having a little thought.]
I'm alive, and my brother should also be different from the game.
That's why I know that not everything is in line with the game but…
I thought that I don't want the same events to happen.
[Ah, it seems like His Highness has come!]
I raise my head upon Welmina's words.
It also coincides with the moment Rafael entering the room with a sullen-like expression.
When our eyes met, his face slightly lightens.
[Sheryl, good morning.]
[Good morning. It's unusual for Rafael-sama to come late.]
[It was funny just a while ago, a cat was on top of Rafael.]
[Serge.]
Serge probably liked it a lot as he kept trying to reproduce the scene, while Rafael glared at him. It seems this argument has been going on since until they got to the cla.s.sroom.
Behind them, Camille is holding a strained laugh.
As for me, while feeling my heart sink after knowing that the event did indeed happen, I look for Lydi's figure. If the event happened, she should have come together with them.
As I thought, there's a girl who moved her eyes a bit.
Her pink hair that's grown up to her chest, she's currently looking at Rafael and the others with confused eyes.
Even if her looks can be called una.s.suming, she's a cute lady with a well-featured face.
Her appearance doesn't seem to be different from the game.
Because I know that Rafael is present, I didn't try to use Mana detection, but I can see Lidy s.h.i.+ning like Rafael as well.
There seems to be no mistake about her having Mana capacity comparable to Rafael.
[Later then, Sheryl.]
[Eh? Ah, yeah…]
I really don’t remember making any promises, Rafael caressed my head once as I gave him a half-hearted reply before he headed back to his seat.
It looks like Rafael’s seat at the back of the cla.s.sroom still hasn’t changed. And then Camille and Serge follows.
[My name is Welmina Bedford. Nice ta meet ya.]
[Yeah, best regards!]
Before I knew it, Welmina is already exchanging greetings with Lydi.
I knew that Lydi’s line of sight has switched to me so I also lightly bow my head.
[I’m Sheryl Bashral. Nice to meet you.]
[Nice to meet you, I'm Lydi Boirmortie. I have just been adopted into a n.o.ble’s house so I still don’t know about the traditions.]
[Don’t worry about me since I’m not a n.o.ble. I will also tell you if you have anything you don’t know!]
[I also haven’t been out to society for long so I also don’t mind.]
From the feeling I got while talking to her, I couldn’t find anything strange in particular.
Her voice also sounds soft just like a girl’s.
[I’m glad, I was really nervous! The cat I helped earlier climbed on Rafael-sama’s face… If Serge-sama and Camille-sama didn’t follow up, who knows what could’ve happened.]
So they’re already on the first-name basis?
No, since it’s about those two, they probably said it themselves. I don’t know about Rafael, though.
I wasn’t able to remember the minute details from the memory of my previous life, I wasn’t able to remember the details of the conversations, either.
{What’s with that girl? Even if she’s part of an Earl’s family, she’s still only adopted.]
{Don’t commoners get along well with fellow commoners?}
{Just someone who’s a former commoner, I wish she’d stop showing off just because her abilities got recognized.}
The n.o.ble students’ awareness from the S-cla.s.s is the same as always.
While listening to those disconcerting words, Lydi has a face as if she doesn’t care.
The girl who’s naturally looking ahead…. is smiling.
She’s talking to us like usual as if nothing’s wrong.
She might probably just be pretending she couldn’t hear the contemptuous words.
But for some reason, I remembered something chilling from her smile.
[Welmina-san….Can I call you Will?]
[I don’t really mind.]
[Can I talk to you again?]
[It’s fine, it’s fine. Just call out to me if you want to talk.]
[Thank you! Oh, you can call me Lydi. Sheryl-kun, too! Then, see you later!]
Leaving behind the same words as Rafael, Lydi went back to her seat.
The flow of the conversation followed according to the game so I can’t calm down.
I unconsciously looked at the pen with Rafael’s initials, telling myself that it will be alright.
After that, Lydi approached Welmina every break, and her opportunity to talk to me naturally increased.
Apparently, Rafael’s “later” meant lunch break.
[Ohh, the Fighting tournament! I wonder if I can also partic.i.p.ate?]
[As long as their grades are good, girls can also partic.i.p.ate. Right, right, Sheryl is trying to conceal it, but he’s the last year’s champion, Jule-sama’s, younger brother!]
A wry smile leaked from me as Welmina flutters her hands in front of me.
[You’re exaggerating.]
[This should be the part where you confirm it!]
