Cass left the main academy building to have lunch with Maynes.

The first class of Class S was a truly fruitful orientation.

There was a lot more important content than I thought, so I had to take quite a few notes, and my homeroom professor, Sophia, who seemed a bit blind, told me more interesting stories than I expected.

Moreover, after playing with Mayness, who occasionally joked around during class, it was already lunch time.

So, what kind of lunch would be best for the first day of class S?

So, I lightly asked Maynes the answer to this obvious question in the form of a suggestion.

“Maynes, as a student of Class S, how about having a special lunch in the cafeteria?”

“As a student of Class S, would you like to have a special lunch at the student cafeteria? i get it!!! You’re asking us to go to the high-end student restaurant, which is a privilege of Class S! That’s a great offer!”

Maynes caught the intent of my simple question and jumped up and down.

It was a really cute bounce. But, the up and down is very intense.

Anyway! The high-end student cafeteria was roughly equivalent to a modern hotel restaurant buffet.

I’m sure you said that culinary experts put in their passion and sincerity to supply gourmet cuisine with spices to the student cafeteria, right?

It was a world where magic existed, but because it was still the uncivilized Middle Ages, the prices of edible luxuries such as spices, sugar, and cinnamon were insane.

Unlike the Middle Ages on Earth, although spices did not weigh as much as gold, they were extremely expensive. They say it is imported from a very distant place in the East.

However, the high-end student restaurant in Class S created high-end dishes with spices that the upper class ate.

It was literally a medieval luxury restaurant.

Just on the subject of the student cafeteria.

I’m really looking forward to it.

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt such stimulating and spicy flavors.

Although I received a generous allowance from Chairman Masella, I couldn’t forget the time when I was so poor, so I was still saving money.

Oops! Overspending may lead to shameful begging for pocket money.

No matter how much younger I am than Masella, do I still get her pocket money by behaving like a fool?

That’s really scary to think about.

Therefore, overspending was absolutely prohibited.

So, the high-end student restaurant was bound to become our new home.

Me, who knows the pain of poverty, and Maynes, who always conducts strange and strange scientific experiments that seem to me like modern scientists, are also very poor.

So, in a way, this high-end student restaurant could have been the greatest privilege we could enjoy as members of the S class.

My mouth is watering like crazy.

“Let’s go quickly, Cass! We’re probably late, right? What if the most delicious things are already gone? That would be so, so sad!”

Mayness walked so lightly, smiling so brightly that you could hear people say, “Chu!”

I’m a little excited too.

It’s not the trash-like oatmeal porridge, salted dried fish, and stone-like black bread that I eat every day.

This really excited me.

It was time to satisfy one of the essential human needs: appetite.

But.

Suddenly, a pretty woman with fiery red hair and very beautiful purple eyes blocked Cass and Mayness’s path.

She was Arien von Etepais.

What is this bitch all of a sudden? Are you not seeing the march of gourmets now?

I really want to force you to apologize and just say, “I’m sorry for blocking the road.”

It was the appearance of a truly unpleasant face.

“Cas… . I have something to say in just a moment. Can’t you just give me some time alone?”

“Arien. What did you suddenly appear in front of me to do? And time alone? That’s funny. Was our relationship like that?”

I spoke sharply.

Want some alone time? Are you really kidding me? Where on earth do you go when you whine that you hate me?

If I had one second to give to Arien, I would rather have a breadcrumb.

Get out of the way quickly, we have to feed Maynes.

“Please just give me a moment. I definitely have something to say and something to convey.”

“… … .”

Arien kept fiddling with a gift box in her arms, and unlike usual, she just asked me to give her time, as if she was half-begging.

What on earth is this doing? Arien von Etepais, an extremely proud nobleman, is so passive and hesitant. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a timid Arien.

I really couldn’t remember Arien being this timid, except when she was young.

However, Arien’s abnormal state was of no concern to me right now.

Arien is already no more than breadcrumbs to me.

To put it simply, it is a relationship that is completely over.

So, I opened my mouth confidently.

“What are you saying all of a sudden? Wasn’t our relationship already completely over? So, get out of the way before you get kicked out with a loud noise. The busy lunch hour has passed. Now get out of the way.”

“Just a moment, just a moment, just a moment, please take your time. Let’s go to a quiet bench over there and have a conversation just the two of us… … .”

I snorted at Arien’s request.

What an abominable year. You’ve been constantly doubting me over the poison macaron incident and subtly harassing me with mean comments, but all of a sudden, what kind of begging request is this?

Please don’t disturb me and just get out of my way.

A bitch I don’t even want to see.

But… . Cass held back just once and remembered for a moment the theory of the sword of the heart he had learned from his teacher.

Do you feel like cutting Arien down?

shit… It wasn’t enough to kill Arien in the nick of time.

Arien is so lucky. Be thankful that I have a good teacher.

I will listen to your story briefly.

Moreover, since the conversation that Arien requested could be a notification of Class S’s academic information or official business, it was right to listen to Arien’s words for now.

What if the conversation was for official purposes and I got angry and didn’t listen?

Then, I was the only one who really became an asshole.

You can’t be that stupid.

So, I steeled myself and decided to talk to Arien.

But, I don’t like being alone.

“I think it’s for official purposes, but I’ll just say it here.”

“This is a secret story. So, can we just talk about it alone, Cass?”

“Is this a story that I would never want my friend Maynes to hear?”

“… … .”

Crazy bitch.

Are you suddenly getting wet around your eyes?

Even dust suddenly got into your eyes, and your high pride took over your eyes so much that you couldn’t even blink, so they got wet?

This is really annoying. Why don’t you just wipe your wet eyes and don’t look at me? Because I really don’t want to see it.

But, fuck. Holy shit, the original Cass.

Suddenly sting! I felt a part of my heart being stabbed and I couldn’t help but shake my head.

Fuck, my past self, please come to your senses now.

What on earth is Arien crying so sadly? Is it hurting that much?

However, I thought my heart would really break when I saw Arien crying.

Fuck. This is really the last time. My foolishness, please disappear now.

therefore. I sighed really loudly, really loudly, really loudly, and sincerely asked Maynes for understanding.

“Maynes, please wait a moment. Let’s go to the high-end student restaurant together after we finish our business with this woman.”

“Eh? But then the really delicious things disappear on a first-come-first-served basis… … . Ugh!!! okay! Cass! Well then, I will really wait for you, so you should never leave me and go somewhere else alone first!”

“Don’t worry about such unnecessary things, we are truly best friends.”

I smiled at Maynes with gratitude.

I’m lucky to have a friend who has a really big heart physically.

Mayness looked troubled at the sudden appearance of the intruder for a moment, but then smiled brightly and let me go.

Really, with Mayness’s personality, there’s no way he would linger on his first visit to a high-end student restaurant alone, so I need to take care of this as soon as possible and come back.

like that.

I trudged towards a quiet bench in the corner, following Arien, who was looking at me sadly with tearful eyes, as if she had a lot to say.

Strangely enough, despite the extremely tense atmosphere between us, the spring sky was truly blue and the noon sun was dazzlingly bright.

It was really nice spring weather.

And without anyone knowing, a beautiful woman with silver hair and golden eyes, neatly dressed in a school uniform, came to look for Cass in secret.

They were walking quietly behind Cass and Arien, not making a single sound.

Because a maid’s qualifications include being an escort in the dark.

The three of them, not two, just walked silently towards a secluded bench.

****

“So what do you have to say? Don’t hesitate and speak quickly, time is a waste.”

“So… . I mean… … .”

It’s really frustrating.

Don’t you know that time is money?

Even now, the delicious menu items in high-end student restaurants are quickly being taken over, so this was clearly a huge opportunity cost loss.

Really, I don’t understand rich bitch.

Cass glared at Arien, who was hesitant and still unable to open a conversation.

Unfortunately, Arien von Etepais just hesitated and continued to fiddle with the wrapped box.

What on earth are you doing now that you’ve been called?

You’re really annoying me.

Cass’s patience was gradually running out.

But, fortunately, Arien was finally able to muster up the courage to speak out loud.

“Cas! Just really! I’m sorry for everything!!! I’m really sorry for the misunderstanding!”

Suddenly, Arien bowed down and apologized loudly.

Arien apologized very loudly to Cass, feeling truly sorry.

I’m sorry Cass! Sorry for the misunderstanding! I’m really sorry!!!

“It’s sudden. What do you mean, sorry for suddenly misunderstanding, Arien? What do you want to say now?”

“That’s only because I misunderstood the nice and kind Cass! That misunderstanding is so stupid and I’m so sorry! Black!”

“I have no idea what they are talking about. Say the object directly. Don’t cry like an idiot.”

“So… I misunderstood until now that Cass sent me a poisoned macaron! I’m really sorry!!!”

Only now has the absurd accusation of sending poisoned macarons been cleared?

This is truly pitiful.

However, that never made any difference between us.

“So, did you come here to say sorry in person? It’s really meaningless. I don’t need this apology. I’m going back.”

Cass tried to turn away from Arien, who could only feel cold anger.

Water that has already been spilled cannot be put back again. Go away, you stupid bitch.

Even Arien was not a water wizard like me who could use miracles of water, but a fire wizard who could use miracles of fire.

So she really was a very stupid bitch.

However, Arien hurriedly presented her special gift box to Cass, who was about to leave.

What on earth is this doing? You’re interfering with my path. But, that packaging method is unique to the original Cass.

That unique marking method really caught my eye. This is the original box packaging method that Cass used to gift macarons to Arien.

And a very sweet scent that can be sensed from the box.

Is this scent macaroons from Braden Bakery?

“… … . What on earth are you doing now? Are you just mocking me now? How dare you give a macaron gift to me who suspected you of sending a poisoned macaron? What on earth are you doing! Arien!”

I shouted loudly.

Crazy bitch. What is this really happening all of a sudden?

Do you really want to die by being beaten by my hands?

“It’s no joke! I feel so sorry for Cass. This time, instead of just receiving macarons from Cass, I wanted to give them as a gift myself! And I desperately knew that I was a stupid girl who didn’t know anything about Cass’s favorite macaron! This is a gift filled with such regret! Black!”

“Don’t be a damn thing. What an unpleasant gift.”

widely! Cass hit Arien’s special macaron gift box with the back of his hand, causing it to clatter to the floor.

Twin years. Fucking bitch. Bitch. Fucking bitch. Really crazy bitch!!!

Cass, being Cass, tried very hard to keep a cool expression even though he felt a place in his heart that was hurting.

What a fucking bitch. Do you just make people angry and sad?

Cass suddenly felt like crying and also wanted to get angry.

The trembling that my love of more than ten years had returned with the same macaron, and the burning anger that they were insulting me, a suspected poisoner, with a shitty macaron.

I was tangled up in the harness.

Cass literally had a tantrum.

“Arien! Get out of my presence right now! Before I lay my hands on you! You petty bitch!”

“My gift!!! Cass! Why are you suddenly throwing the gift on the floor? Cass was a kind and simple person! Cass is so good on the inside that he was chosen by the relic even now! Black!”

“Right now! Get out of here quickly!!!”

Arien quickly shed tears and was very embarrassed at Cass’s angry voice.

The special macaron gift box that I had carefully prepared to give to Cass as a gift was already lying lonely in the grass far away.

And Cas’s expression was stern, enduring pain, and he was glaring at Arien as if he were going to kill her.

Arien was so sad that her gift was suddenly kicked away with the back of her hand, and she was so surprised by the now truly murderous gaze that she couldn’t help but cry.

Black! Cass! what’s the matter! No more misunderstanding! You were sorry!

Cass is a kind and kind person! Why are you treating me so coldly?

Cas could barely hold back the harsh words and swear words that kept coming out of his mouth, and spoke softly as if he was asking Arien for the last time.

“Now, please go away. Don’t break my heart any more. I don’t want to see you again because of something like this. Now it’s goodbye. Arien.”

“Cas! Sorry! I’m so sorry!!! I’m truly sorry for doubting Cass until now! I’m only sorry! So, I’ll do really well from now on, so please don’t look at me with that harsh expression anymore!”

“It’s goodbye. Arien, who I liked a lot more than I thought.”

“Cass!!!”

Arien called out to me for the last time in a high voice of sadness.

Oh my, I don’t have a single ring to throw hard anymore.

It’s so squishy.

I turned around as casually as possible.

Fuck. I really thought it ended in a feeling of complete betrayal, but my heart ached so much over just a box of fucking macarons that barely responded to my apology and unrequited love.

Basically Cass, you fucking bastard. Forget it now, forget it.

Feeling so lonely and light, I walked forward, leaving Arien behind.

but.

“Cas! Talk a little more! What on earth is that look?! What’s the problem?!”

“Hands go. Don’t stick to it like a mess. Go away.”

“But! Your expression is not just about those sharp words!”

This fucking bitch keeps trying to cross the line?

As the foolishly kind Kass, my regrets make me make this kind of facial expression.

Are you going to make me educate women like a psychopath?

I really didn’t want to show that embarrassed expression to anyone anymore.

therefore. Now please go away.

Before I got really emotional and actually cut her down with my sword, Arien.

Cass could not bring himself to reach for Arien, who was holding my right hand tightly and crying so hard behind me.

Originally, Cass really liked Arien that much. Even if I was fucking betrayed.

Fuck you.

And what a fucking bitch.

I closed my eyes and was lost in the pain.

But, tak! There was a strong sound, but my right hand, which Arien had held tightly, was freed.

And then.

“You really are a bug-like woman who clings to Cass. I, Bariel Mushumus, will deal with you on your behalf from now on. Arien von Etepais.”

A neat curtsy that really looks like a painting.

To Arien von Etepais, a nobleman, he very carefully displayed the etiquette of curtsey, which is a polite greeting of slightly lifting one’s skirt with both hands.

The expression on the face of the silver-haired, gold-eyed woman wearing a smart school uniform was not polite at all.

Very cool and sharp expression.

She’s the same age as Cass, grew up together, and has been Cass’s personal maid until now.

By Bariel Mushumus,

Arien, who was massaging her sore hand after forcibly removing it, greeted her with a very grinning smile and greeted her warmly.

Cass’s eyes widened at the sudden appearance of the familiar Bariel.
