“This Will Require Serious Effort To Make Me Angry”
“How long has it been since we last ate three like this?”
So says Jaga the Traitor.
“Because this man always eats with the Princess.”
And that's Hyoro.
“I don't have a choice?”
I'm.
For the first time since then, the three of us ate together in the cafeteria. Alexia, for some reason, was absent.
“Sid-kun, will you forgive me?”
“Hear. Men don't hold grudges over unimportant things! ”
“I even treat you to 980 Zeny Package-Food-Day-For-Lord-Poor, right?”
“Hear. He's been treating you, so let it pass! ”
“Gah, alright already.”
I took a long breath.
“Thank you, Sid-kun.”
“Ya, yes.”
“So, how far is your relationship?”
Hyoro spoke in a calm voice.
“What relationship?”
“Duh, I'm talking about ‘itu’ and Princess Alexia. You two dated for 2 weeks so you've done ‘itu’, right?
Seriously, stop saying “itu.” Oh my god, this stupid conversation.
“Nothing happened, and nothing will happen.”
“Kah, you useless coward. If it was me, I would have already reached the last stage. ”
“Agreement. I'll at least get to the kissing stage.”
“As I always say, we are not like that.”
I half-heartedly parried it while continuing to eat my lunch. But all of a sudden.
“Can I sit here?”
The blonde-haired ikemen Zenon-sensei entered the scene.
“Ya of course!”
“Please!”
With that, the two once again turned into ornamental decorations.
“What does sensei have to do with me?”
I'm a little wary. Just in case she makes me a target right now because Alexia isn't present.
“I'm sure you've heard, but Princess Alexia hasn't returned to the dorm since yesterday.”
Naturally, this was the first time I had heard such news.
But I'm sure he just went on a journey of self-discovery or something. That's a teenager, right?
“During our search this morning, we found this.”
What he took out was his shoes. It belongs to Alexia.
“There are signs of resistance around it. Knight Order is considering making it a kidnapping case, and an investigation is underway.”
“What, how can this be ..!”
It was what I shouted in a grieving voice, but in my heart I shouted “Yahoo yes, Eat tuh!!” while making a victory pose.
“When we narrowed down the list of suspects, the last confirmed person seen with him has been found.”
That's what it says, Zenon-sensei while looking at me.
“‘Knight Order’ would like to ask you a few questions.”
Standing at the entrance of the cafeteria were members of ‘Knight Order’ using their full equipment and exuding a bloodthirsty aura.
“You will cooperate with us, yes?”
Oh, I can see the end of this.
God fucking.

After that, I was taken to a place like a police cell, where I answered a few questions before being released at night.
“Quick move, ********.”
My back was pushed rough because I was kicked out of the building. Then my stuff was dumped right after me.
Because now I only wear underwear, I take my clothes and shoes and wear them. Since I no longer had fingernails on both hands, doing so took longer than usual.
After I finished organizing myself, I sighed and left.
The hikers who went to and fro as I passed them all looked at ‘goresan’ and my bloody appearance.
I breathe again.
“Stay calm. Stay cool. What's the point of being angry because of an unimportant person?”
I tried not to remember the face of the knight who interrogated me while trying to remain calm.
“They just do their job.”
My wounds are not all bad, and my nails can grow back whenever I want.
The only reason why I didn't do it was because I had to actually play my character.
“Yes, I am a very calm definition.”
Tranquility.
I took a deep breath. My mind opened again.
Using my senses, I noticed some dangerous presences.
“They put two people to follow me, huh.”
The kidnapper has not been found. Of course, Alexia's safety is still unconfirmed.
My head is not so full of flowers for it has been set free. They don't have enough evidence, but my name is clearly still on the suspect's list.
I made my face face face down and pretended to be lethargic and
tired of returning to the dorm.
Along way.
“Shortly..”
A very, very small sound reached my ears.
Accompanied by the faint scent of a familiar perfume.
“Alpha, yes ..”
The road is very crowded at night. His figure is invisible.
⊕⊗⊕
After returning to the dorm room, I turned on the lights.
From the shadows, a young girl appeared to her.
“You want to eat?”
He wore a tight bodysuit that seemed to emphasize his recently acquired assets.
In his hand is a thick sandwich containing tuna (TN: ‘maguro’ in Japanese), purchased from the famous store Magudo (TN: pun, just replace ‘r’ with ‘d’) in the royal capital.
“Thank you. It's been a while, hasn't it, Alpha? What happened to Beta? ”
I had not eaten anything properly for 5 days in a row, so I devoured the sandwich vigorously.
Beta was the one who accompanied me recently.
“I heard from Beta. It seems things are getting a little troublesome, hm? ”
He sat on my bed and crossed his legs.
Her fine blonde hair and wide blue eyelids felt nostalgic.
In the short time he left my sight, he had grown up.
“It looks like so.”
I threw the last slice of sandwich in my mouth.
“There is water on it.”
“Still ~ ”
I finished the big cup in one breath.
“Wah, come back to life.”
I took off my shoes and coat, then dived into my bed.
“At least change your clothes first!”
“No, I'll sleep.”
“What.... do you understand your current situation?”
“The preparation will be handed to you.”
Alpha super deft. By giving him orders, I was sure he would prepare the best stage for me. But until then, I will sleep.
Alpha is breathing.
“I'm sure you understand this, but developments like this, everything will be blamed on you.”
“Maybe, yes.”
As long as the real culprit is not found, it is almost certain that the most suspected person will be executed.
Especially since this case was the kidnapping of a member of the royal family.
A person's head must fly, otherwise the case cannot be closed.
Yay for the Middle Ages.
“Wake up, I have another sandwich.”
“!! I'm up.”
I got a sandwich from Alpha.
“There is a movement to actively make you a suspect for this case.”
“Heeh ~, although I will be an automatic suspect if left alone?”
“They may want to get things done quickly. A son with an average performance from a poor baron family is the perfect scapegoat.”
“Agreed. I would do the same as well, if I were them.”
“The knights cannot be trusted.”
“The Order has an agent in it?”
“Without hesitation. ‘Order’ kidnapped him. Their destination might be his Blood Hero who was still thick.”
Alpha and girls still stick to the whole ‘Order of Diabolos’ for me. How attentive they are.
“Do you think he's alive?”
“You can't take blood from a dead person, right?”
“Poin good.”
“Although we don't seem to understand why you decided to take part in a love story with a princess.”
That said Alpha while frowning with half-closed eyes.
“This is not as it looks.”
“I'm sure you must have a reason, something you can't tell us.”
I avoided Alpha's gaze as he tried to look me in the eye.
And of course, I kept quiet. Because I have no particular reason.
“It's okay, we understand you're shouldering something very big.”
What should I do if I really don't take anything away from what he says ?
“But I just want to say, please trust us more. Even this time, if you had told us first, things wouldn't have turned out this way, would they?”
“All right.”
“ Anyway, don't worry about that anymore. It's our job to help you.”
As he said, Alpha smiled at me.
“When this incident is resolved, treat me to Magudo. That second sandwich is my part, actually.”
“Of course. Sorry for eating your share too.”
“Don't think of it.”
Alpha stood up, opened the window, and stepped foot.
His little hips swayed.
“I'm leaving now. You better not do anything for a while.”
“I understand. What's the plan?”
“I'll collect ‘numbers’. At the moment we don't have enough people in the capital. Also, I'll call Delta too. “
“You called him too?”
“She said she really missed you.”
‘Delta the Loose Cannon’. Or by another name, ‘Delta the Suicide Weapon’.
To put it simply, he was basically an idiot that was solely for fighting.
Because it's been a long time, it seems like they want to hold a reunion or something like that? I sincerely hope that they all lead decent and honorable lives.
“Details I will tell you after the preparation is complete. All right then.”
After smiling for the last time at me, Alpha covered her face with a bodysuit and then disappeared through the window.
