Chapter 17 (1/2)

Uwahh I had intended to followall pronouns, sounds and honourifics, but then a wild Senpai comes in, and all my efforts are thrown out the … I can only facepalm and curse why I hadn’t expected this from the start

That aside, I just realised that I’ Lunar New Year Heh, I guess if it’s Este’s thing is to bring new chapters as presents on Christmas, my chapters will arrive as your “New Year’s Money”, for those that knohat that is Happy Lunar New year, and here’s to a better one than the last Enjoy!

—Lilia Calmed down?

Hearing Sakura’s voice, Lilia lifted her face Just how much time had passed since she came in here? At the very least, classes should have already began by this point She really should have been rushi+ng over, but Lilia only felt around her eyes and sighed

—I’ve calo to class

—They’re bright red huh, swollen too Quite a pitiful face after having said all that to the Prince

—Oh be quiet, I’m fully aware

Getting to her feet, she lightly brushed the dirt fro out fros She could faintly hear the sounds of conversation, but at least it seemed that there was no one immediately nearby It would be easy to return to her roo so noould probably cause Alisa to worry

—We’re just wasting ti?

—You’re right… Let’s do that

Quietly leaving the classroos as she began to ed back to class if someone reported her truancy, she certainly didn’t want anyone to witness her cried out face here It wasn’t so about later on

Maybe due to ed to arrive at the library on the second floor without running into anyone Quietly opening the door, she slid herself inside Ih of relief

The library in this acadee number of bookshelves lined up, it’d be hard to be seen by someone if one went deep inside Especially now in the middle of lessons, one probably wouldn’t be found by any students Though there should definitely be a teacher here, around this ti the bookshelves Since the often used books are generally gathered near the front, the back had mostly become a blind spot devoid of people

Lilia went deep into the library As she reached to the farthest reaches back, she took a breath Looking at the shelves around her, placed here were a great number of books about this country’s history If it’s here, there definitely shouldn’t be anyone co around

—Well then, there’s no pen or paper, but it’s study time! I wonder what I should teach

When Sakura taught Lilia, her voice would always be full of vigour While a joyous voice, she was also quite strict Though there were hardshi+ps too, just hearing Sakura’s joyful tone, Lilia could feel the ot one of the difficult questions prepared by Sakura correct, she would beco Lilia to the point where she was the one to start feeling embarrassed

This ti away, but Lilia interrupted that

—Sakura, before that, I’d like to get your opinion on soh

—Nn? What would that be?

—Fro Tina

Ahh, Sakura groaned and fell silent She was probably thinking up soive it another thought, but still didn’t knohat kind of face she should have the next time she sees Tina

It can be assumed that the Prince likes Tina, as well as that Tina also did not particularly dislike the Prince Tina hasn’t exactly said that she liked the Prince, but it was probably alright to think that way At least if she didn’t think like this, she’d be losing all face in such a situation

Lilia had co with the Prince Lilia was the one rejecting here, so any reconciliation was almost certainly iht in thequite bad about creating such a situation

—Worried about Tina?

At Sakura’s question, Lilia snorted

—This has nothing to do with that girl okay I just don’t want to feel responsible for getting soht in the crossfire here

—Yup Let’s just leave it at that then

—What do you mean by that…

—Ahaha Back to the real topic, it’s probably fine to not worry about that too h Tina will probably, to not have you two buree of caution in mind, that’s what I think The Prince willon the topic of you, so as long as you don’t stir things up, I don’t think there’s any reason to worry

Would it be as simple as that? Lilia still didn’t really knohat Tina’s temperament was like, so she couldn’t come to a solid conclusion

—Rather, I think if you were to keep your distance, it’ll just cause Tina to s more Wouldn’t it be fine to just act as usual?

—Though that would be kind of difficult

—Yup Do your best!
