Chapter 16 (2/2)

“Well, I-”

“I guess this ”

He s position

So me

“…In the Physical exam too, you knew my name”

“Well that’s because Kururi-kun is famous after all”

Really?!

I was sure that I was being inconspicuous

“You’re… Rail-san right? Nice to meet you”

Of course I kneho he is, but I pretended I didn’t

He didn’t reply immediately, there was a short pause

Then Rail started walking over as if he had seen right through me

Is he really reading my mind?!

This person is way to scary!!

“…well met Nice to meet you Kururi-kun”

“Ah, yeah”

I grabbed his outstretched hand

And with a good grip on each other, we finished shaking hands

“See you soon Kururi-kun, I’d like to talk with you more”

He turned around and re-joined his original group with Prince Arc, so I guess everything turned out okay

Even though he had a gentle smile on his face, I couldn’t help but feel like he was a somewhat scary person

He acts like that but he actually comes from a family of farmers

It e and was covered up, but Iris learns the secret by accident one day and is forced to keep it

You see, Rail was someone who had lost his parents in childhood

He actually beca the tirandfather’s house, and with his friendly personality he saw the true good in the Prince, so with that they just clicked, staying close friends since

After the death of his grandfather, both the First Prince and his official attendant returned to the royal capital together

He had shi+ny hair and beautiful features that rivaled the aristocracy He was a great study, and quickly became well versed in the rules of society, such as courtesy and tradition

Frouess that he ca family

Sorry, I already know the secret that allows you to become acquainted with Iris I’m really sorry

Don’t worry though, I’ll rave, I won’t tell anyone

While I was contes, Iris walked over and waved at me She seemed pretty happy

“Hey”

“Hey, I took first place”

It was a beautiful smile, one that made one want to compliment her the moment one saw it

I also felt a bit guilty about supporting Eliza over her during the marathon

At the very least, I’ll praise her here

“I knew you could do it In the future I’ one hell of a ‘thank you’ once you’re succesful”

“I’ll keep that in mind”

She replied with a smile

Once we finished talking, Iris left for the library,

There was also Vaine, who I wanted to check on quickly before he destroyedwith Crossy

With that said, there was still one person I definitely had to see first

Without a doubt, it was Eliza

Without batting an eye, she stood transfixed in front of the results table with her arms crossed

Other students wanted to see their exam results too, but didn’t approach her due to fear

You’re troubling everyone! Realize the situation you’re in Eliza!

…is what I said in my mind, I couldn’t say it out loud because unfortunately she scares me too Just a little bit

Still, if nobody would say so then I had too

My body started toby emotion, as if it were on a mission

As I approached, her entourage consisting of the Four Heavenly Kings intercepted me

Hirl who always called me ‘Servant’

Is there like a rotation systeanization works

The thing was, the eyes of the woman in front of me seemed to screaht Servant!’, that’s what her eyes said

No, really I’

It ht have not been said out loud, but her eyes said everything

I wasn’t scared though

I took another step towards Eliza

The other day ere in a rush due to the exam about to start and we didn’t even ‘know’ each other then (I did though), but this time we’re already acquainted so they don’t want to raise a fuss that would direct her attention to me

“Hey Eliza, you look a bit vexed there, is there so?”

If I go straight to the point, she won’t have any time to complain

There was a short pause of aard silence The answer I expected didn’t come

“W-well even if it’s not a perfect score, to be able to get 499 points is a, no?”

I could almost feel the air around me wreathe in aardness

“…I didn’t know”

Eliza had startedunder her breath

Even though I was this close I couldn’t hear her very well, I think she said soe’?

“How the hell am I supposed to know the official name of Vitamin C?!”

Eliza suddenly shouted out to nobody in particular

Everyone turned their eyes away on the chance that she aze their way

Then with a ‘h had happened at all, Eliza walked away

The Four Heavenly Kings followed soon after

So Eliza also made that mistake

As I thought, it’s not ‘General Knowledge’

…I looked it up later, and apparently the official name of Vitamin C is ‘asobc acid’
