12 Hi, My Name Is Pochi! Nice to Meet You, Everyone! (1/2)
”In other words, Alexia and Zenon-sensei are engaged, and I'm the stalking horse?”
I'm currently facing off against Alexia behind the school building after school.
”We're not engaged. He's just a fiancé candidate.”
So returns Alexia with a composed face.
”Whatever, same thing.”
”No, it's not the same. It's not even been confirmed yet, but he's already trying to forcefully move the talks along. I'm quite troubled by it.”
”Ok, seriously, whatever. Sorry, but I have no intention to be swept up in the circumstances between you two.”
”Oh dear, what a heartless thing for my boyfriend to say to me.”
”Boyfriend? You just wanted a convenient stalking horse, didn't you?”
”That is true. But the same goes for you, no?”
An unpleasant smile appears on Alexia's face.
”Same? What are you talking about?”
”Oh, you plan to feign ignorance? Oh Sid Kagenou-kun who lost in a penalty game?”
Her smile deepens even more.
Oook, wait a second. Let's calm down.
”How cruel, to play with an innocent girl's emotions like that.”
So says Alexia while crying crocodile tears without even a shred of innocence coming from her.
No problem, I am calm.
”I have no idea what you are talking about though. What, do you have evidence or something?”
Yep, evidence.
Regardless of how much suspicion she might have, as long as those two don't betray me...
”Is his name Jaga-kun? As soon as I talked to him, his face became all red and he began telling me things that I didn't even ask about. You have such a good friend.”
I mentally beat Jaga up and smash him into mashed potato to maintain my own mental health.
”Are you alright? Your face is convulsing like crazy.”
”Not a problem. My character is twisted so my mouth is twisted too.”
”Ahhh, I see.”
”Still better than you, though.”
”Nn, did you just say something?”
”Uh, no. So what is it that you want anyways?”
I admit defeat. The reason for my loss is my choice of friends.
”Let me see...”
Alexia crosses her arms and leans against the school building.
”For now, continue pretending to be my lover. Time duration is until that man gives up.”
”My status is but that of a mere Baron family. To be honest, I don't even have the strength to be of much use as a stalking horse.”

”I am fully aware. As long as we can buy time, then that'll be enough. The rest I'll handle by myself.”
”Furthermore, I don't want to be put into any danger. The other party is the country's Swordsmanship Instructor. If anything happens, I wouldn't be able to deal with it.”
”Blah, blah, blah, you sure are noisy.”
