46 – When conveying business
My belief that time will solve the conflict between Arden and Lorne was short-lived.
Even after a day, two, or three days passed, the two of them were busy maintaining a cool atmosphere whenever they met.
I’m also a bit far-fetched, so if it was usual, I would have tried to have a conversation with two people, but I didn’t have the time this time.
Because I had to run around in a hurry to prepare for the exchange meeting that was to take place shortly after.
“… Asking for time on the weekend?”
“Yes.”
To that end, I first visited Marie.
Standing in front of Class B classroom, the guy stared at me and blinked his eyes as if he was so surprised.
Then, with his arms crossed, he snobbed her with his characteristic arrogant pose.
“Huh. Do I look like a free-spirited person like you if a commoner asks for some time?”
It might have been a little too much to ask for help with a project a while ago.
But right now I can’t afford to go back just because I said no.
In order to reduce even a little the variable that will happen at the exchange meeting, it is urgent to develop the skills of this guy and Aden, even if no one else knows.
In addition to that, I plan to reinforce my strength, but anyway, the first target I need to aim for is Marie.
“It can’t be. But i need you How can you not do it this time?”
I politely asked for it, even throwing away the tone I normally use when arguing with Marie.
Then the boy’s cheeks suddenly turned red, and then he began to spit out his words in a blush.
“Blood, you need it…. My, is it something that can only be done without me?”
“Yes.”
It wasn’t exactly wrong, so I answered calmly.
Of course, he’s a stronger cadet than this guy. If you go through the 2nd or 3rd year, or the 1st year A class right away, there will be plenty.
However, I’m not familiar with them, and the prerequisites for recruiting them as personnel to help me were wrong.
Moreover, the original characters who were active at the time of the exchange meeting were Aden and Mary.
In other words, in order to reduce her variable even a little, it is highly likely that it would be better to appoint herself somehow rather than find someone to replace her power.
“… Good. But does it have to be a weekend?”
“Weekend?”
Marie looked at me with eyes full of strange anticipation and asked.
I can feel the urge to check something, is it because of my mood?
Well, there’s no reason why I can’t tell you.
It’s not like there was a serious reason in the first place.
“Aren’t weekends the most relaxing time? That’s why.”
“Time…. That, yes It takes quite a bit of time to get around.”
“… ? Yes.”
She seemed to agree with my words, and shook her head, saying that Marie, who had dyed her cheeks red, couldn’t help it.
I wanted to say that she wandered around for a long time, but it seemed like she would agree anyway, so I decided to lightly brush off the afterwords.
I set up a schedule to meet in front of a large signpost on the way to school at 9:00 on Saturday morning, and I’m about to turn around after finishing my business.
“Be, Bell!”
“Huh?”
I said I would call you by name, but Marie grabbed my legs while shouting my name, which I hadn’t mentioned until recently.
When I met my gaze with only my head slightly turned, his sharp eyes came into my field of vision.
“Clothes…. What should I do?”
“Clothes?”
What clothes? Oh, you mean the outfit you’ll wear to training?
Anyway, there will be clothes for the practice class, so you can wear them.
It would be absurd if you think I’m strict enough to touch that point.
“Wear what you feel comfortable with.”
“Because that’s the hardest spell!?”
“Really?”
Mari’s sudden shouting behavior had long since become accustomed to it, so she replied calmly without being shaken in the slightest.
I’ve heard that women pay a lot of attention to their clothes, but even if they do, they take a detailed look at what they wear to training.
In many ways, I think you are a tired creature.
“Anyway, wear it yourself. I am going for class.”
If you don’t go soon, it’s really late, so I waved my hand lightly and headed straight to the E class classroom at the end.
I heard Marie muttering something from behind, but I thought it was nothing and moved my legs steadfastly.
Soon after arriving at the classroom, a question popped into my head.
Come to think of it, did I mention I was training? I guess I was just asking for time.
* * * *
The Phyllisis Hall, where the class B cadets stay, is not comparable to the Loferia Hall, but each room has its own large space.
The greatest strength of this Phyllisis tube is, of course, the shower room.
Cadets below Class C have to use the communal bath together with their classmates, but not having to do so is a huge advantage.
Not only that.
In addition to the academy’s servants who manage the entire dormitory, being allowed to have individual servants is a huge advantage in this educational institution, where most of the new students come from aristocrats.
“hehehe. Heung~.”
Marie Neloe was also a cadet who was enjoying the benefits of the Phylesis Crown.
At the sight of her own master sitting in her chair, humming and shaking her legs, her maid, Julis, smiled at her.
“Looks like something good happened. Miss.”
“Joe, is that a good thing?”
She
Marie trying hard not to express her feelings with the idea that she was caught, but she couldn’t escape the attention of Julis, who had served her for the past ten years.
“Actually, the smile hasn’t left my lips since a while ago. Even humming her hum.”
“Did I?”
Marie opened her eyes wide as her mouth touched her muscles.
I think I tried my best to manage my expression, but even if it didn’t go well, the fact that I was humming her was an act I wasn’t aware of.
“I guess it’s not just because tomorrow is the weekend.”
“Oh, no. It’s the weekend, so I’m excited.”
Marie snatched at the lady-in-waiting saying that she was right, but in the eyes of her Julis, it was only a cute excuse.
“Looking at this, I don’t think the past 10 years of taking care of the young lady were wasted. So you don’t have to hide it from me.”
“Gee, really…. It’s not….”
Above all, her reddened face proved that it wasn’t just because she had soaked her body in warm water a while ago.
“So what good did you do? Have you ever scheduled a date… ?”
“Oh no! My, why am I dating a guy like that… !”

When Marie reacted sensitively to the question posed as a test, Julis was able to quickly recognize that this was the cause.
This would also explain why Marie, who had been telling her about most of her things, kept her mouth shut.
“Huh, I made a mistake. By the way, miss.”
She added her words as she peered at her master’s face reflected in her mirror, showing off her devilish grin with a snarky expression.
“I was wondering if you were going out on a date with Lady Elisha on the weekend, so you’re saying that kind of guy?”
“…… !”
Poof.
At Julis’s blow, Marie’s head returned with the momentum to snap, and she glared at the lady-in-waiting who was standing behind her to dry her hair.
Even so, it didn’t happen that Yuris was scared of her or cowered.
Rather, it was a mischievous servant who welcomed the reaction and continued to attack more vigorously.
“Looks like you’ve made some progress in your relationship with the person you said politely. Yes?”
“Yu, Julis… ! You… !”
Marie’s eyes were burning like the flames of hell.
As if they were bluffing that if they could kill people with willpower, they would burn them right away.
“So what good did you do? Miss.”
“Cee….”
Undaunted by her gaze, Yuris quietly spoke out to pry into her master’s private life.
This situation in which a maid makes fun of her master is just absurd, but it was possible for the two of them.
For the past 10 years, she has been taking care of her, and the person with whom Marie is so special that she can be called another friend of hers is Yuris.
Of course, it was possible because her personality of Julis was so easy-going and bold, but she said it.
“… I don’t know. That idiot just suddenly asked for some time.”
After all, she thought she was wrong to hide it, so Marie opened her mouth in a brusque tone.
This news was quite unexpected for Julis, so she naturally opened her eyes wide.
From what Marie has said, Belle remembered that her relationship with the boy was not so smooth.
“Are you talking about the weekend?”
“Yes. We agreed to meet at 9:00 tomorrow. I didn’t tell you why…. Seeing that you said you need a lot of time, you must be thinking about going out together.”
“That’s why you wanted to preview her clothes. I understood.”
She was thrilled that finally she thought to her master that spring was coming.
She’s Marie.
“Anyway, he’s a moodless man. I asked how I was going to wear it, and they told me to wear it comfortably….”
Mari was still busy grumbling, but she didn’t miss the faint smile on her lips.
No matter what you do, you must be glad that you were invited to a date first by the guy you were looking at.
The words you say now are just a blindfold to hide that joy.
“It must have been that he was considerate of the young lady. It will also mean that you will look pretty no matter what you wear.”
“Huh, heh! But for a commoner, you know a little something.”
Even though it wasn’t what Belle said, it was just Julis’ guess, but when she heard her words, Marie kept feeling the muscles in her face relax.
If she goes that far, then she has no choice but to set her mind aside for the time being that she will embellish it to the fullest and show off her true self.
Besides, if a man faded too much, it would diminish the prestige of the girl he was going to be with, so Marie was determined to go out in appropriate attire for the common people tomorrow.
Never because he thinks he’ll look pretty no matter what she wears.
…so very tiresome.
