Chapter 109
Translator: Cyrus
“One more round!”
My voice resounds loudly in my own dorm room .
“One more, one more round! I was just about to win! I let my guard down in the early game . There’s no way I would lose–”
“Alright, shut up . Leon . You may come in . ”
“Oh, is it over?”
Surfania disregards my complaints, and beckons Leon inside .
She probably discussed this with the maid earlier . It seems that Leon was waiting for her signal .
“It is . Take this seventeen year old girl with the mind of a five-year-old with you . ……It’s this fool we’re dealing with, so don’t let her run away, ever . ”
“Okay, okay . ”
Seeing that I couldn’t take back my loss, I was about to turn around and run when Leon performs a neck hold from behind me .
She read my intentions . But there’s no way I’ll give up just from being restrained . I am a nimble lady .
“Stop that, you worthless fool! Do you think I’ll take this from you?! I am the daughter of the Noir house! Do you think it’s okay for a commoner such as you to touch me as you please?!”
“Huh…”
For someone with no backing like Leon, I can simply tear him to shreds with my authority .
But he doesn’t seem to be afraid of my noble status . In fact, his tone is a happy one .
“As you say, a commoner like me would be thrown in jail along with my family . I would probably be expelled from school . My parents would lose their jobs, and my entire family would be driven to their wits’ end . My future would be so dark . ”
“That’s right . If you know that, then let me go . I’ll be lenient and forgive you . ”
“Yeah, yeah . ……Well? Do you have the intention to destroy my life, Christina?”
“Is that all you have to say?!”
I scream at Leon, who’s flaunting his own weakness .
When did he learn to use such despicable reasoning? I look at him with disbelief, and he simply shows his enjoyment through his smile .
“You’re a good person, Christina . You wouldn’t do anything like that . I know you won’t . ”
“Shut up! Do you have no pride?! Besides, I’m the villainess, so doing that is a simple matter to me, you know?!”
“Yeah yeah . So what’s up with being the villainess?”
“She probably made that up anyway . It was mostly as I expected . ”
“You lost to Surfania after making a bet, right? So stay still . You probably got spurred on and agreed to the bet with your own conditions anyway . ”
“I-I didn’t– I mean, I lost, but that was the first round, right?! Also, what do you mean, I got spurred on?!”
“Wow . Christina, you lost to Michelie AND Surfania in the span of one day . ”
“I’ll kill you Leon!”
I’m howling at Leon who jeered at me childishly .
I lost the debate to Michelie because of Mariwa, and I lost the board game to Surfania because of the early game . Having played with her so many times, almost all of the games were a sure win for me . I won’t let this single defeat ruin me .
“Just a little more, and I would have won!”
“You were always bad when it came to betting during an important time, Christina . And it’s so easy to emotionally manipulate you . ”
“This is truly unsightly, flaunting the victories you had as a child . That’s exactly what a child would say . ”
“You look like you’re having fun, Surfania . ”
“Oh, but of course . ”
Ignoring my complaints, Surfania opens the door and leads the way while humming almost happily .
“We took three whole years, including our investigations and preparations . Thanks to that, I was able to see Chris behave in such an unsightly manner . There’s no way I can’t enjoy this . ”
“Wow . You’re beyond crooked . ”
“Just… let… me… go!”
With Surfania leading the way, Leon is dragging me down the hallway while I’m wildly thrashing about .
At this rate, I’ll be brought before Mariwa . If I don’t stop them now, I’ll be in grave danger .
“Dammit! You’re a guy, Leon . Don’t come into the girls’ dormitory!”
“You’re telling me this now . Obviously I already have permission to be here . ”
“That’s right . I even invite him to my room sometimes . You’re such a slow person . ”
“Surfania! You’re being called a villainess because you do such stupid things like inviting a guy to your room!”
“Hey, stop being so chaste . I’m just visiting as a friend . ”
We’re going down the stairs from the third floor as I’m desperately struggling in vain . We’re almost at the exit . Once we leave the dormitory, Mariwa probably won’t be too far away from us .
“What have I done to Mariwa that I should apologize to her anyway? Nothing? Then I shouldn’t have to apologize!”
“Then you should have no problem showing yourself in front of Miss Toinette . How great . You should stand proud . ”
“That’s not the point!”
“Haha! This rowdiness reminds me of the time when we used to gather in the old church . It takes me back . ”
“Yes . So let’s go and meet Miss Toinette . Only then will our reunion be complete . ”
“S-stop– Let go!”
Someone help me . I’ll be sent to hell at this rate . I didn’t do anything wrong, I haven’t even saved Michelie yet, and I’m about to be plunged to the depths of hell . Someone help me before that happens .
We’re still in the dormitory of the Academy . I have henchmen here . There should be no lack of talented people I can depend on for help .
I look around desperately trying to find someone I know .
“L-Lady Christina?”
I fall into despair upon seeing the only person I know .
“What in the world is going on?”
The one who approaches timidly as I’m being dragged by the neck is Freesia .
Why is it Freesia out of all the people I know? I look around once again, but there’s no one else .
Surfania mumbles as she looks at the girl with two locks of curled golden hair .
“Oh my, isn’t that Chris Number Two?”
“What do you mean, Chris Number Two?!”
I shout in response to the unexpected remark .
I never expected anyone to think that Freesia and I were one and the same . I lost to Michelie at the debate, and lost to Surfania at the board game, but this was the most hurtful compared to everything else that happened today .
“N-no way, Lady Christina Number Two……”
In contrast to my utter shock, Freesia’s face is turning red in embarrassment .
Surfania sulks and frowns when she sees her reaction .
“……That’s strange . I’m pleased at having seen the epitome of idiocy . ”
“I for one feel really hurt . ”
“I see . That’s great . ”
Surfania looks even more satisfied from hurting me . Leon chimes in from the side .
“Lady Istar . I think you can tell just by looking, but these two are much friendlier than the rumors portray them to be . We’re just having fun . So don’t worry about it . ”
“Huh? Um, is that true?”
“Freesia, don’t be fooled by them . They’re bad guys without a doubt . Don’t ask or say anything, just call Rona or Catalina here . ”
“O-okay . I underst–”
“……Hold on a minute . ”
“Eep!”
Surfania cuts her off coolly, causing the timid Freesia to tremble in shock .
Her looks are already cold, so she can intimidate people just by using her appearance .
“If you’re feeling unsafe that we’re dragging Chris away alone, then there’s no need for you to call anyone . ”
Surfania looks like a flash of inspiration struck her . Insecurity is rising within me . I’m definitely sure she’s going to say something drastic .
“H-hey, Surfania . What are you–”
“You can just come along . Then it will be two on two, right?”
“Ah, that sounds good as well!”
“–Surfania, will you please?!”
She’s cornering me at every move . Freesia seems excited for some reason, shrieking in delight at Surfania’s proposal .
