CHAPTER 2 - A DATE
1
“You are the worst”
“Leon-san, you are too cruel.” Morning after the holiday.
When I came to the school building, I found two people waiting for me: Noel Jill Lespinasse, who was standing upright, and Livia, who was looking down and telling me with an attitude that she was in a bad mood.
Noel has gradient blonde hair that turns pinker as it gets closer to the tips and is tied back in a side ponytail.
She brushed it off with one hand and rolled it to her back and cornered me.
Noel’s fingertips press against my chest.
“Why do you go to the princess every week?”
Angry Noel doesn’t like that I have tea parties with Erika every week.
I had nothing to be guilty of, but it was impossible to explain.
After all, I, Marie, and Erika are all blood relatives from a previous life.
First of all, I have to tell them about my previous life, but if I say, “Actually, this world was the world of that Otome game!” and they would never believe me if I told them that.
To begin with, if I were in Noel’s or Livia’s shoes, I would think that there is something
I am hiding from them if I were to talk about other worlds and reincarnated people in a situation like this.
They would said I am trying to deceive them by telling them a bad lie.
So I can’t tell them the truth.
But I don’t want to lie either.
―― But I had expected this situation, too.
“Because Marie and Princess Erika are on good terms. Without me, it would be difficult for them to talk.”
When I mentioned Marie’s name, Noel lowered the corners of her upturned eyes.
“With Marie-chan? Indeed, you attended every tea party with her. But she never told me anything.”
Noel and Marie are good friends.
She is a kind girl who became close to Marie when she was studying abroad and has continued their friendship even after she found out that Marie was a fake saint.
But even if Noel was convinced, Livia was not.
Now Livia is closing in on me.
“But you should still say something to Ange. You know that Ange is going through a difficult time, don’t you, Leon-san?”
I’ve also heard that Ange are being told by her parents’ house.
But that was the part I didn’t quite understand.
“I told her she didn’t have to fight with her parents for me.”
“That’s not it! Leon-san, why don’t you notice it? That’s not what Ange wants.”
I know I’m being accused of not being perceptive, but I’ve always been like this.
“I’m not very perceptive anyway.”
I say sulkily, and Livia grabs me by the chest and brings my face close to hers.
“I’m talking seriously now.”
My back shivered in front of Livia’s expressionless, highlight-less eyes.
“Yes! I was joking too much. I would like to talk to Ange right away!”
“That’s not it, right? You’re going to invite Ange to a date on your upcoming holiday, right?”
“A date ?!”
“Of course. ―― You wouldn’t say that you could spend your holidays with the Princess and Marie-san but not with Ange, would you?”
“N-No way right. Aha, ahahaha ―― In the first place, I spend a lot of time with everyone on a regular basis.”
Yes, we see each other more often than not, except on holidays.
There is no doubt that I spend more time with Ange and others than I do with Marie and Erika, whom I see on the weekends.
“Leon-san, let’s go on a date. Listen, it’s a date. You and Ange go out together on your day off.”
But it seems that nothing can be said to Livia now.
“――Yes”
“No one is allowed to accompany you. Actually, you can’t but! Only Luc-kun is allowed to accompany you.”
“I-Is that okay?”
For some reason, I was only allowed to bring Luxion with me, but the expression on Livia’s face was not good.
Is there anything to worry about?
“――I think it would be better for Luc-kun to stay with Leon-san.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. So, you and Ange will have a date this weekend. Is that good, Leon-san?” Livia’s expression changed from expressionless to a big smile.
Her smile radiates a pressure that does not allow for refusal.
“Of course!”
It seemed that we were not tolerated to just talk on campus, so we decided to go on a date on our day off.
Noel, who was watching Livia’s unyielding attitude, blurted out.
“Livia-chan is scary”
