Part 2
◇
With the Academy on the rest day.
Many students were enjoying their day off and there were few people at the Academy.
Most of them were Academy students, professors, or staff who were in the Academy building for some reason.
Marie snuck into the library , one of the less popular buildings in the Academy .
"Why am I doing this?"
The purpose of sneaking in here was to investigate some people.
The protagonist Mia and the villainous princess Erica, Marie had been commissioned by Leon to investigate both.
Next to Marie you could see the figure of Clare.
[It can not be helped. The Master has already begun his investigation outside the Academy.]
"Ah, he is investigating the serial murder case, isn’t he? I would like him to prioritize the investigation inside the Academy instead of him imitating a detective.”
Marie crouched down to get closer to her target and moved stealthily.
"First of all, isn't there a bounty on my older brother? Isn't that more dangerous if he's outside?"
[However, it is a situation where I can say that he is fine just because he has Luxon. The main body of his is also waiting near the royal capital, and the current state of Arroganz is that he is ready to mobilize at any time.]
"It's disturbing but safe. However, thanks to that, I am alone investigating the protagonist and villain princess. He also reminded me to never go near that guardian knight. "
[The Master is very cautious.]
Marie and Clare approached the target. However, they stopped moving because they heard the voices of a man and a woman from the bottom of the nearby bookshelf.
Apparently they both tried to pick up the same book and their hands touched.
-Excuse me.
"No, I'm sorry too."
Marie was jealous that the two were having an event-like encounter, and she looked secretly.
"A meeting event in a library, is it like I'm a protagonist ......!?"
It was Jake and a female student facing each other in the hallway between the shelves. The student was tall enough to look down at Jake, who was slightly shorter than average height.
Her well-groomed, shiny, and beautiful brown hair was long enough to reach her waist, and she had good style and good posture. She had a frontal figure that seemed to have been trained in some kind of martial art.
Jake looked at that student and pushed the book he took towards her.
"I'll find another book."
"No, I would feel bad about that. Besides, I'm not in a rush either.”
Jake was a bit surprised when he looked at the student who gave him a polite reply.
"...... I was thinking you would be a bit rude due to your martial arts training, but you seem to have a shy personality that doesn't suit your physique. With your height and complexion, you must be strong right?”
The girl was a bit surprised and embarrassed by Jake's bluntness, and then she told him
"Actually, I'm worried about being tall. It's not pretty at all.”
Jake suddenly took notice of her and apologized to the student that she was feeling concerned about her height .
-I apologize. I was jealous of your physique, but I was rude to you. Please forgive me.
I ...... It's Jake. And you?
When the student smiled stiffly, she greeted him politely.
"My name is Aaron. I'm a sophomore. My close friends call me Aare your Highness Jake.”
"Did you know me? But Aaron, uh ..... No, Aare suits you better. I would like to call you that too, if you don't mind."
Despite being her senpai, Jake's attitude didn't change. It was kind of rude to his senpai, but he had a natural and normal attitude.
On the other hand, Aaron --- Aare --- smiled without saying anything.
"Yes, please, I would like you to."
"I thought you would be mad at my attitude, but ...... wow, you are a funny woman. You can call me Jake."
"I-I can't do that."
"That is my decision. If you don't, I'll have you arrested for disrespect."
When told that she would disrespect him if she didn't just call him by his name, Aare agreed reluctantly.
Clare was outraged to hear such an exchange of words.
[Is Aaron Aare? It's the same nickname Livia gave me! I can't forgive this. I will definitely protest about that.]
However, Marie wore a disgusted face.
"This ...... is a rendezvous event with His Highness Jake."
That exchange of words made Marie remember him.
She got very close to the conversation that ensued when the main character and Jake were first met.
Yet here was the problem.
"Why are we witnessing an event between two capture targets?"
Marie was so shocked by the turn of events that her head twisted.
Marie had forgotten her original purpose, but she looked up from her when called out.
"Can I help you with something?"
-Hey?
Standing there was one of the people she had to investigate ...... Erica, the Villainous Princess .
Her kouhai, who seemed gentler than she remembered, had apparently cared about Marie and she spoke to her. In no time, Clare had disappeared.
Marie scrambled to her feet.
"N-It's nothing, I'm fine. My head just hurts a little."
"That doesn't mean being okay."
"I'm fine now. I panicked because there were so many things happening that I couldn't accept."
She tried to get over this situation with a fake smile, and Erica gave a slight nod and smiled.
-I see. But I think it would be better if you kept quiet inside the library, Marie-senpai.
"Do you know me?"
Why did she know her? A cold sweat broke out on Marie's face, but Erica laughed and explained.
"Even if I look like this, I'm a princess, so it's only natural that I know the Saint. Well......thank you for taking great care of my older brother."
Even if you don't think about it much, Erica is from the royal family and it's nothing strange that she knew of Marie.
Marie greeted likewise saying, "A-Ahahaha, he's looking after me anyway."
As they spoke, they also saw Jake and Aare. As soon as Jake saw Erica, he did a nasty grin as if he had just met a troublesome person.
Marie had an unpleasant feeling that the two had met.
This is bad. These two people don't get along in the game, do they?
"Ah, it was you, huh."
"Big brother, were you in the library too?"
"Stop calling me big brother.Our birthdays are only a few months difference and it won't change any."
"Even so, you are still my older brother."
The two half siblings had a relationship in which Jake did not get along with Erica. There was no strong precaution, it was very different from the relationship of the two that Marie knew .
Marie was even more confused when she saw them.
(What do you mean? His Highness Jake must have been aware of Erica's evil nature up to a point, so he should have been cautious.)
