Part 2
(How could this happen!?)
Marie couldn’t stop breaking out in a cold sweat.
Marie is summoned immediately after school to Ange’s room in the girls’ dormitory.
Along with Ange, the owner of the room, there are also figures of Livia and Noel.
Behind Marie, who was sitting in a chair, Kara stood back like an attendant and kept herself as background.
Marie sends a glance to Noelle.
“W-Why did you call me~? I just wanted to talk to Noel.”
(The person who I took her fiancé from and the person who I took her saint position from has been glaring at me!!)
Under the stern glances of Ange and Livia, Marie asked Noel for a reason.
Noel does not seem to notice Marie’s impatience, and while looking down, she seriously tells the reason for summoning her.
“It’s about Leon’s absence, isn’t it? We don’t know the details either. Luxion is not here, and Creare is not leaving Licorne either.”
“I thought I hadn’t seen her at the school lately, so she’s been in Licorne all this time.”
“Yes. So I thought that maybe Marie-chan would know something about it.”
The reason Marie was called was that she might know something about the situation that Ange and others did not know.
(No, I asked because I didn’t know!!)
Marie, frightened by Ange’s piercing gaze, breaks out in a cold sweat and her cheeks are drawn back.
“I haven’t been told anything, so I thought Noel and the others knew.”
Noel nods slightly.
“I know. But you two are usually very close, right? So I thought this would be a good time to ask you about your relationship.”
Marie understands why Ange and Livia are looking at her so sternly.
(These guys are going to question me right here! Aniki, you idioooot! At least explain to them what’s going on before you’re absent!!)
Ange quietly asks Marie, who curses Leon in her mind.
“He went off with Luxion without telling us. Have you heard anything?”
There is a history of a causal relationship between Marie and Ange.
It was Marie who took Julius, Ange’s former fiancée.
They have already reached a reconciliation, but that does not mean the relationship has improved.
It’s just that because of Leon, they get a lot of opportunities to meet each other.
Marie replies with an awkward smile plastered on her face.
“I-I haven’t heard anything. But hasn’t it ever occurred before that he just goes off without saying a word?”
(I’m being suspected so badly!! I don’t know where aniki is! This definitely makes them suspicious of our relationship!!)
Marie cried in her heart when she was suspected because of Leon.
But a refusal won’t clear Ange and Livia’s suspicions.
This time, Livia asked the question, but her expression was cold despite her gentle tone.
“Leon-san, even though he didn’t tell us the circumstances, he talked to us when he went out. But that didn’t happen this time.”
Then Noel, who has less care about the atmosphere of the place, perhaps because she is worried about Leon, presses up to Marie.
“Marie-chan, you were talking to Leon a while back, weren’t you? Didn’t he say something to you at that time?”
Both Ange and Livia’s eyebrows twitched at Noel’s words —— that Leon had a secret meeting with Marie before he left.
“Like I said, I didn’t hear anything.”
(We were just talking about Erika’s situation, why do they have to suspect me!)
When Marie denies it, Ange seems to have reached the limit of her patience.
“——I’ve always wondered, what is the relationship between you and Leon? Leon is always saying that it’s an inseparable relationship, but I just can’t accept it.”
Livia also voices the question of what has been happening so far.
“He gave you a lot of allowance, too. Moreover ——”
Just as Livia is about to say something, Noel looks toward the window and raises her voice.
“Leon is back!”
Looking out the window, Einhorn could be seen in the distance.
Its unique appearance, with large horns extending forward on the bow, made it stand out even from a distance.
Marie breathes a sigh of relief.
(You’re late, baka aniki!!)
