Tensei Reijou wa Shomin no Aji ni Uete Iru - CH 506.2

After school invitation.

Mariel-chan responded to my invitation with a raised hand.

“Sei, would you like to join us, too?”

“Why not. I would like to join you.”

When the plan was settled, we started to move and saw Alicia-sama walking alone in front of us.

“Oh, it’s Alicia-sama. It seems that all of her cronies are in class A or B.”

Mariel-chan whispered in my ear.

“Yo, Sei! Are you returning to the dorm already?”

Behind us, Adry-sama rushed over.

“Adry. Yeah, that’s the plan.”

Oh? They call each other without honorifics already?

It may be also because Adry-sama is a friendly guy for a noble, but boys can get along easily at times like this, can’t they? I envy them.

“I wanted to talk to you about the Knight course we are going to visit tomorrow. Do you have time now?”

Sei looked happy for a moment at Adry-sama’s invitation, but then he immediately remembered his promise to us and answered with a troubled look.

“Sorry, I already have a prior engagement…”

“Eh, you are going back to your dorm, aren’t you?”

Adry-sama drew closer to him, uttering, “It can’t be, right!?”.

Adry-sama’s pressure was strong. He’s too bright.

“Adry-sama, we were just talking about having tea in the special dormitory. Would you like to join us?”

“Miss Cristea… is that okay?”

Sei looked at me with bewilderment.

“Yes. It would be only for a short time before the dinner, though.”

I felt like I was adding fuel to Mariel-chan’s delusions, but I also wanted to help expand Sei’s friendships. But I didn’t feel comfortable letting Sei, who has no knowledge of the nobility of the Doristan Kingdom, alone with Adry-sama.

“Alright. Then, I will be intruding! Alright Sei, let’s go quickly!”

“You are not allowed to run in the hallway.”

“Tcheh, don’t be so stiff.”

I watched with a smile as Sei and Adry-sama headed for the dormitory, talking happily, while Mariel-chan and I followed them from behind.

… Mariel-chan, I know you are trying to be careful not to be noticed by me, but the benevolent look in your eyes that gazes at the two of you speaks eloquently about a lot of things, doesn’t it?

Sometimes, “Gufufu…” even escapes from your mouth.

I can see right through you, even if the rest of them don’t notice, okay!?

… Mariel-chan’s karma seems to run deep.
