[Peaceful Days Return (?)]
Raul had gone berserk for the second time, but with everyone’s support, he was able to get back on his feet.
On the other hand, Principal Abigail, who had fallen ill in the middle of the battle, there still hadn’t been any news of her since then.
“Hmm… I’m worried.”
I couldn’t help but be worried about her.
The knights, who had come as reinforcements, had assured us it was just fatigue and that she would recover soon, but… I hoped she was okay.
—At that moment, I felt the gaze of three pairs of eyes on me.
“Young Master Barrett is showing concern for someone other than Lady Tayte…”
“Nyanya?! Is he cheating?!”
“No way… Young Master wouldn’t do that?!”
“No, what are you guys doing?”
My three maids were huddled together, whispering loud enough for me to overhear.
“Sure, I’m worried about the principal, but there’s no chance that will change my relationship with Tayte. Tayte is the only one for me!”
“““Oh~!””” The three maids burst into applause.
Heh, I puffed out my chest. That line wasn’t so bad, even if I do say so myself—but…
“Please don’t forget to say those words to Lady Tayte as well.”
“……”
“? Young Master?”
“O-oh, would you look at the time. Gotta go.”
“Young Master?!”
Ugh… Rebecca’s call of protest stung my heart.
I-I mean, Tayte and I had those heart-to-heart talks many times before, so I was pretty sure she already knew what I felt about her.
…No, even so, it’d still be better if I said it to her.
Let’s find the right moment today to express my feelings to her.
Despite the principal’s absence, the academy continued with its usual routine.
I figured this kind of situation had always been within their expectations.
The teachers likely thought that showing anxiety or panic might negatively impact us students, so they carried on with their usual lessons.
“It almost feels like yesterday’s events were a dream, doesn’t it?”
“Yeah.”
After class, Tayte and I chatted, a bit surprised that the school appeared almost as peaceful as ever.
–However, the reality was that Principal Abigail was currently undergoing medical treatment.
It remained uncertain when she would be able to return to work, but considering her influence, leaving the principal’s seat vacant for too long wasn’t an option. I hoped they wouldn’t replace her or something.
“Well, if she’s making progress in her recovery, I think we’ll hear from her. Until then, we can only wait.”
“Yes, I suppose so.”
“Anyway, let’s do our home—”
“Barrett, do you have a second?”
Kleine, our classmate and fellow student council member, interrupted me just as I was about to enjoy some study time with Tayte.
“Kleine? What’s the matter?”
“You have a guest.”
“A guest?”
“Yes. –And she’s incredibly beautiful.”
““Huh?””
Involuntarily, Tayte looked at me, and I did her.
Anxiety was evident on her face.
“N-no, no, no, no! I’ve got nothing to do with whoever that is!”
“Y-you mean it?”
“You can rest assured, Tayte. Barrett is telling the truth.”
Damn you, Kleine, you were the one who caused this misunderstanding in the first place, and I knew you did it on purpose.
…Anyway, I wondered who this incredibly beautiful woman was and why she was looking for me.
