“Alice, your portrait is finished. Look! I’ve decided not to show it to everyone after all!”
“That’s a good idea, let’s not!”
ㅤ
My portrait didn’t really resemble me, so I tried drawing Rene as well, and we both ended up with quite avant-garde paintings.
ㅤ
“What is this? A beard?”
“Nose hair.”
“You gave up on making it resemble halfway through, didn’t you?”
“Yeah! A bushy nose hair!”
“Stop it, you’re making me laugh!”
ㅤ
I wanted Rene’s portrait, but he just wouldn’t give it to me no matter what.
ㅤ
“Rene-sama, is it absolutely impossible? I really want it.”
“No way. You didn’t give me Alice’s either.”
“That one is a no-go. Impossible.”
“Mine is impossible too!”
ㅤ
Having been told that much, I had no choice but to back down.
I wanted it, but I couldn’t exchange it for that picture of me. That one needs to be burned and erased.
ㅤ
After laughing a lot together, we decided to leave the room.
As I opened the door, everyone had returned and were staring intently. I flinched involuntarily.
ㅤ
“Alice, calm down. I will explain, so you just sit. Alice, if there is any shortage, can you add to it?”
“I will say it.”
“No. You kept a calm face, but I know it’s hard for you. If you don’t want to listen by my side, you can stay in the room.”
“No. I insisted, so I will be here.”
ㅤ
Roa-sama coughed conspicuously.
ㅤ
“You two seem to be very close, aren’t you?”
“I was consulting with Rene-sama. Really, I should have been the one to say it. . .”
“I can state it more objectively. Come on, Alice, sit down. Drink some warm tea and have some sweets.”
“If I eat any more, it will be troublesome, so I’ll just have tea.”
“Alice would still be cute even if she got rounder, so eat properly!”
ㅤ
While sipping the tea that Chris made, I listened to Rene’s clear explanation.
At first, everyone looked skeptical, but gradually their eyes started to crinkle with smiles. They were exuding an aura of anger, and just being near them was frightening.
Even Chris, who was very angry, seemed more terrifying because of his pretty girl appearance. It’s true what they say, a beautiful person’s anger is frightening.
ㅤ
“I don’t know how he came to be in school, but I don’t think leaving him will result in anything good. Alice, although you hesitated because they are not involved with Dyson, you reported properly.”
“I am grateful to Alice for reporting something difficult to say. This is a matter that should be conveyed to my older brother. Indeed, I prioritized Dyson, but not to the extent of neglecting others.”
ㅤ
The burning anger remained, but concern flickered in Roa-sama’s eyes.
ㅤ
“Regarding this matter, Alice doesn’t need to be involved. What do you want to do?”
“Of course, I want to beat them to a pulp.”
“. . .Are you really okay with that?”
ㅤ
If I hadn’t had the memories of my past life and had been a naive noble young lady, I might have been paralyzed with fear even now.
But I know that there are scumbags in this world. Even if they attack, I just think, “Crush them!” And I fought back properly.
Probably, that person couldn’t be used for a while, I think.
ㅤ
“I am really fine. More importantly, please be careful of Thor. If Thor finds that man, he will probably kill him.”
“Ah. . . I suppose so.”
ㅤ
Roa-sama nodded deeply. It seems that he has come to understand about Thor.
ㅤ
“I want to kill him too! Right now!”
“Calm down, Edgardo. What’s the point of killing him now? That would just be for our own satisfaction.”
ㅤ
Rolf’s hand, trying to soothe Edgardo, was gripped so hard it trembled.
ㅤ
“That’s right. Such people will not reflect on their actions. We must keep them alive until they truly repent, apologize, and renounce their ways.”
ㅤ
It was the first time to see Arthur angry. The always smiling and calm Arthur looked a bit scary when angry.
ㅤ
“I will go to Thor-sama. I have a bad feeling.”
ㅤ
A somewhat pale Chris hurried out of the room.
ㅤ
While everyone was discussing how to catch the merchant, Chris returned.
ㅤ
“Ojou-sama, please come quickly. Thor-sama has noticed that merchant and is preparing blades and ropes. Marina-sama is desperately trying to stop him.”
“I will go.”
“It’s better to discuss this with everyone. Chris, is there a suitable place for a meeting? Tell him that Alice is coming, and bring Marina-sama and the young master there. Ask Marina-sama to keep the young master there.”
“Understood. Please come to the conversation room on the first floor of the school. Anyone can use it if they apply, so I will apply after informing Thor-sama.”
“I’m counting on you.”
“Chris, please tell Thor. Nee-sama also wants to beat him up, so tell him to wait a bit. This should probably stop him.”
ㅤ
Probably.
ㅤ
“Understood.”
ㅤ
Everyone hurried out of the room, following Chris who had left in haste. Roa-sama’s hand was gently placed on my back.
ㅤ
“You don’t need to look so sorry. It’s really good that Alice informed us. Just thinking if there were victims. . . no, there might already be. We must come up with measures immediately.”
“Yes. . . .It was a good thing to speak up boldly.”
ㅤ
This way, the young lady won’t be hurt, and Thor won’t become a murderer.
ㅤ
“I’m really glad. . .”
ㅤ
I certainly don’t want Thor to kill someone.
