Chapter 425

A stable fujoshi.

“… Just how unlucky are you?”

When I explained the sequence of events up until now, Mariel-chan looked at me with a sympathetic gaze. Yep, I do believe I was unlucky.

“But, I think it was good that I was moved to the special dormitory before I could settle down in the girls’ dormitory. I can stay here until the entrance ceremony, so I won’t be watched by inquisitive and prying gazes…”

Well, Miria came after my meeting with the Headmaster, so… it was a blessing in disguise?

“Yeah, indeed. If you got exposed at the girls’ dormitory, it would be too obvious that you were moving. However, don’t the noble young ladies already have a hunch that it was you? There are rumors that luggage had been carried out of a room for a high noble, after all.”“Eh.”“There were some people trying to find out who was leaving, but it seems they couldn’t find out because of a gag order…”“I, is that so…”

Indeed, people would be wondering why someone’s luggage is being carried out even before the entrance ceremony.

“Anyhow, staying here until the entrance ceremony would be for the best.”“True, I think so too…”

Just I let out a sigh of lament, the door of the lounge opened.

“… Oh, excuse me. Huh? Aren’t you… Miss Mariel?”“Eh!? Se, Sesesesei-shama!?”

… She bit her tongue.She seemed to be startled by Sei’s sudden appearance. She would be naturally startled that he suddenly appeared in the special dormitory where only the contractors reside.

“Sei-sama, why are you here!?”“Ah, umm… I am a Sacred Beast contractor just like Miss Cristea.”“Eeeeeeh!?”

Mariel-chan was unable to conceal her shock. Well, I understand her feelings.

“Oh? What is it? It’s so noisy in here…”“What is going on?”“Ueeeeh!?”

Mariel-chan who saw Byakko-sama and Suzaku-sama stick out their faces from behind Sei let out a loud voice.

“Ah… err, they are my contracted Sacred Beasts, Byakko and Suzaku. Tora, Suzaku, she is Miss Mariel. Miss Cristea’s friend.”“Ou, best regards!”“I have seen you in the Bastea Company before. My name is Suzaku. I’m pleased to make your acquaintance.”“Eh… eeehh!? You were Sei-sama’s Sacred Beasts!?”

Hearing that the two people she saw at the Bastea Company were Sei’s Sacred Beasts, her gaze alternated between the three restlessly. Yeah, I find Mariel-chan pitiful for having to be surprised all the time, I’m sorry…

“C, Cristea-saaan…?”

“Have you heard about it before?” Mariel-chan was making such an expression.

“I was really surprised to find Sei-sama here when I entered the special dormitory. Sei-sama was dragged here under the same circumstances as me.”“Yep, yep. I was startled when I saw Miss Cristea.”

We told her about our “first” meeting here.I feel guilty hiding our friendship, but Sei has his own circumstances, so… forgive me, Mariel-chan.

“So it’s like that…”

I could immediately tell that Mariel-chan’s face was saying: “How nice! I want to live in here too!” How unfortunate. Only contractors can live here. She would be able to get inside if only she formed a contract…

“Speaking of which, it will be dinner time soon, are you sure you don’t have to go back already?”

Sei said while looking at the clock.

“Eh… ahh! It’s already this late!? I have to go!”

Mariel-chan hurriedly returned to the girls’ dormitory. She made an eye-contact with me, saying: “I will come again! Please keep posted about Sei-sama’s group!”…Incredible, Mariel-chan shouldn’t be capable of using telepathy, but I seem to understand whatever she’s trying to convey…?What a terrifying rotten power…!

“Now then~ we should go to have a meal too. Though I don’t feel like eating it.”

As soon as I turned around, I heard Byakko-sama’s voice in my head.

(Ah, treat it as a favor from me, so let me eat plenty of delicious food if successful!)

… Byakko-sama continues being a regrettable Sacred Beast!
