Chapter 14 (1/2)
”How long has it been since we last had a meal with just the three of us like this?”
So says Jaga the Traitor
”Since this guy eats with the princess for literally every single meal”
And that was Hyoro
”What choice do I have?”
Me
For the first tiether in the cafeteria Alexia is, for a surprising change of pace, not present
”Sid-kun, can you forgive me already?”
”Hear, hear Men don't hold grudges over insignificant things!”
”I even treated you to a 980 Zeny Daily-Set-Meal-for-dirt-poor-nobles, didn't I?”
”Hear, hear He already treated you, so just let bygones be bygones!”
”Gah, alright already”
I heave a huge sigh
”Thank you, Sid-kun”
”Yea, yea”
”So, how far have you actually gone?”
So asks Hyoro in a subdued voice
”Gone where?”
”Duh, I' about 'that' and Princess Alexia You two have already gone out for 2 weeks so you've been getting some of 'that,' haven't you?”
Seriously, stop saying 'that' Oh my God what a retarded conversation this is
”Nothing has happened, and nothing will happen”
”Kah, what a useless wimp If it was me, I'd have reached last base already”
”Agreed I would have at least gotten to the kissing stage”
”As I keep saying, we're not like that”
I half-heartedly fend the to eat my lunch But then all of a sudden
”May I sit here?”
The blond-haired ikemen Zenon-sensei enters the scene
”Yes of course!”
”All yours!”
With that, the two once again turn into ornamental decorations
”What business do you have with me?”
I a for me now that Alexia is not present
”I'm sure you've already heard, but Princess Alexia has not returned to the dorms since yesterday”
Naturally, this issuch news
But I'one off on a trip of self-discovery or soht?
”During our search this , we found this”
What he takes out is a single loafer It's Alexia's
”There were signs of a struggle nearby The Knight Order is considering it to be a kidnapping case, and investigations are underway”
”What, how could this be……!”
Is what I shout out loud in a grieving voice, but inside I'uts pose
”When ere narrowing down the list of suspects, the last person confirmed to have been seen with her came up”
So saying, Zenon-sensei looks at me
”The Knight Order would like to ask you a few questions”
Standing at the entrance of the cafeteria aretheir full equip bloodthirst
”You will cooperate with us, yes?”
Oh, I can see where this is going
fuck me
After that, I was brought to a place like a police cell, where I answered a few questions before being released in the evening 5 days later, that is
”Get a move on, you fucker”
My back is pushed roughly as I as are thrown out right after me
As I am now only in my underwear, I pick up ht there and then Because I no longer have fingernails on either hand, it takes a bit longer than usual
After I finish arranging h then walk off
The pedestrians going to and fro that I pass all stare at my 'scratches' and bloody appearance
I heave another sigh
”Stay cal out over a few small potatoes?”
I try atedcalm
”They weretheir job”
My wounds are all only superficial, and I can grow ernails back whenever I want
The only reason why I don't is to fully act out my mob character
”Yes, I am the very definition of calm”
Tranquility
I take a deep breath My vision widens back up
Probing with my senses, I notice some supicious presences
”They put two tails on me, huh”
The kidnapper is yet to be found Naturally, Alexia's safety is still unconfirmed
My head is not so full of daisies that I think I have been acquitted They didn't have enough evidence, but my name is definitely still on the list of suspects
I keep ard and exhausted whilemy way back to my dorm
Along the way
”Later……”
A really, really tiny voice reaches my ears
Accompanied by the faint smell of a familiar perfume
”Alpha, huh……”
