“You did it on purpose, didn’t you? To screw me up!”
Eugenie looked down at him with no change of expression, and replied quietly.
“If you had to point out the one who is giving me trouble, wouldn’t it be you? If I had really been holding the note with the answer, I wouldn’t be here by now.”
In that situation, even if Eugenie said, ‘It was a note for Abington,’ the priests wouldn’t have believed it.
Because it was Abington who initially accused her of cheating.
“Anyway, you go and pack your bags. I will tell the queen properly about you!”
At that moment, a sarcastic voice was heard right behind me.
“Oh, what are you going to tell my sister-in-law? Shall I go with you?”
Abington was startled and quickly let go his hand that was holding Eugenie.
When he turned around, he saw Prince Valentine, the mysterious wizard Noah, and even Clarisse standing together.
“N, no matter how much you call yourself a prince, you cannot interfere with the duties of the position of student representative.”
“Yeah, I won’t. I just wanted to tell my sister-in-law how I am. Well, if we talk for a while, the things I see and hear here will just come out naturally. You might not have noticed because I have a good-looking face, but I’m actually the type of person with a very light mouth.”
Abington pursed his lips.
The power he had as a representative of the test takers came from his relationship with the queen, but he couldn’t use it in front of Valentine, so he went crazy and jumped around.
“Mr. Belleville.”
Now Clarisse took a step forward.
The sight of the small creature crossing her arms and glaring pointedly was extremely bizarre.
“Please apologize to Ms. McLeod.”
“I already did.”
“Sincerely.”
“Ha…”
He tried to ask further.
It hurts his pride to listen to that little girl.
However, at that moment, the cat masked wizard was seen holding a bright red magic substance in his right hand and twirling it around.
He didn’t know what it was, but it looked ominous, as if hitting it would lead to immediate death.
Feeling a little scared, he flinched and happened to look at Prince Valentine.
He used to think he was just a good-looking and kind prince, but when he told Eugenie to leave, he was so angry.
“Apologize, Mr. Belleville.”
When Clarisse urged him again, the red magic substance on Noah’s hand grew in size, and rays of light seemed to pour from the prince’s eyes.
“I, I’m sorry…!”
He reflexively blurted out an apology.
“It’s not something you should feel sorry for.”
At Clarisse’s words, with her hands above her waist, he quickly looked back at Eugenie and bowed politely.
Anyway, he didn’t want to die here.
“I’m sorry!”
“…”
“I was so annoyed that other kids kept saying it would be great for you to be the student representative, so I wanted to get rid of you! It was a real eyesore! I thought I would kill you if I could!”
Clarisse muttered quietly, ‘You don’t have to say that.’
“I sincerely apologize, I was wrong. That, and maybe… If you want to be a student representative…”
“I don’t like being a student representative. If you like it that much, do it for the rest of your life.”
Eugenie’s words were nothing short of a curse.
Doesn’t being a student representative for a lifetime mean preparing for the civil service exam for the rest of his life?
Nevertheless, Abington’s answer seems to have been very good.
“R, really? Are you not interested in the representative position? Is that… possible?”
As he asked in disbelief, he seemed to think that everyone must be coveting his place.
“I, I will tell the queen well about you.”
Eugenie wrinkled her face.
“You just have to tell the truth as it is. There is no need to make up advantages. That goes for anyone.”
After hearing Eugenie’s answer, Clarisse realized clearly why the other test takers wanted her as their representative.
She was fair.
Just like the Duke of Sheridan.
“Actually…”
“Just by doing so, the test takers will truly follow you. You don’t even need to say the queen’s name to scare them.”
“Is that… really true?”
“I’m sure.”
Abington nodded his head slowly, his face very impressed.
“Ah, but you.”
Valentine snapped his fingers as if he remembered something.
“You’re going to quit anyway, right?”
“Yes?”
When Abington turned to ask what he meant, Valentine responded with a mischievous smile.
“Didn’t you fail the test? At first glance, the back part was barely undone.”
“T, that…! I couldn’t calm down, so I wasn’t in a position to solve the problem.”
“Anyway, a bet is a bet. It would be a good idea to pack your bags before the official results come out. I handed over the test-taker representative position in advance.”
“…Heuk!”
Apparently, Abington had almost forgotten about his bet with Clarisse.
In fact, if Eugenie’s cheating was discovered, the priesthood would delay announcing the test results for the time being in order to investigate.
In the meantime, betting will be over.
Or, if things had gone according to his plan in the first place, he would have done well on the exam, so he might have been able to handle Eugenie and Clarisse.
“M, making a bet on grades is strictly prohibited in the monastery. As a former student representative, I cannot engage in such prohibited behavior!”
Abington fiddled with his glasses anxiously. He somehow seems like he wants to be here.
“What are you talking about when we’ve already gotten together?”
“B, but… If you are found to have been betting on grades, you will be severely punished!”
His excited voice gradually grew louder, and Clarisse quickly put a finger to her mouth.
“Ssh, ssh!”
Because, behind Abington, the priest was getting closer little by little.
However, he didn’t notice Clarisse’s behavior and shouted in an even louder voice.
“Do you understand? So it’s better to keep the fact that we made a grade bet a secret!”
“…Ah. What should I do?”
Clarisse buried her face in her hands.
Abington, who now realized something was strange, quietly looked back.
“….!”
Judging by the priest’s expression as he looked towards us with startled eyes, he must have heard all of Abington’s loud declaration of bets.
* * *
The next morning, no, it was dawn long before the sun rose.
Clarisse woke up thanks to Mallang touching her cheek.
“Ugh…”
Even though she intentionally went to bed early, waking up at 5 a.m. was extremely difficult.
“I can’t get out of the blanket.”
“Cooh.”
“I know. From now on, I have to go out and clean the chapel at this time until the priest forgives me…”
It was a performance bet.
Clarisse, Abington, Noah, and Valentine were to clean the chapel every day.
“Cooh. (Wake up quickly, you troublemaker.)”
Mallang said harsh words and poked his cheek.
Normally, she would have cried and said, ‘You’re such a nuisance; this is too much,’ but she couldn’t do that today.
Because she owed a lot to Malang for resolving Abington’s matter.
It was Mallang who informed her that he had made a terrible proposal to Eugenie.
Moreover, Mallang sneaked into Abington’s room, watched him make a plan, and then told Clarisse all about it.
She was very fortunate that he had a habit of mumbling and pondering when he was deep in thought.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have realized that he was planning to kick Eugenie out.
‘It’s a relief.’
In conclusion, Eugenie was safe, and Abington acknowledged his mistake.
Although Abington still didn’t seem to like Clarisse very much.
Well… It seemed inevitable.
Still, it doesn’t seem like she will be harassed so blatantly in the future, so should she say that’s a good thing?
“Ugh, it’s cold.”
Clarisse took off her pajamas and quickly changed into her workout clothes.
It was easy for her to move around, and after she finished cleaning, she had to immediately go for a run around the monastery with the other test takers.
Knock, knock.
A knock was heard.
Just from that calming sound, Clarisse knew that Noah had come to get her.
Maybe he came because he was worried that Clarisse couldn’t wake up.
“Hello, Noah.”
He was startled by the greeting given before she even opened the door, and put on his cat mask.
“How did you know?”
“Of course I know, it’s Noah. You woke up so early?”
“It’s not that difficult to wake up at dawn… Anyway, I’m glad the girl woke up too. Valentine had just woken up and was rushing.”
“Did Noah wake up the prince too?”
“I have shown him kindness.”
Of course, Noah didn’t say that kindness means spraying water on a person’s face.
Valentine woke up and started swearing, and Noah returned a similar dirty word.
Clarisse, unaware of this situation, clapped her hands in joy.
“As expected, I thought you two would get along well. Ah, shall we go now?”
As Clarisse looked around her room, as if checking the time, her long pink hair waved before Noah’s eyes.
“….”
It was such an amazing color every time he saw it, Noah grabbed her hair without realizing it.
He really liked this soft feeling. Since he was young, he had been holding it in his hand like this and standing there blankly.
“Hmm?”
While holding Clarisse’s hair, Noah quickly let go when she turned around in confusion.
“T, that…!”
And he was somehow embarrassed as he answered.
Even though he always grabbed Clarisse’s hair. It was such a strange thing.
“I thought it would be better to tie it up and go!”
“Ah.”
Clarice laughed and said she had forgotten.
“Right. Would you like to come in for a moment?”
The room Clarisse showed him as she stepped aside was a bit dark, so Noah hesitated for some reason.
He wonders if it’s okay to go into a place this dark.
Of course, he was never rationally conscious of Clarisse.
She was a precious friend beyond her gender.
She is the only one in his life.
So sometimes he just gets possessive and wants to be her only friend.
He never had any more feelings for her.
Never, absolutely.
“You did it on purpose, didn’t you? To screw me up!”
Eugenie looked down at him with no change of expression, and replied quietly.
“If you had to point out the one who is giving me trouble, wouldn’t it be you? If I had really been holding the note with the answer, I wouldn’t be here by now.”
