The day after I had an impromptu kiss with Ethan during a play.

Of course, what Ethan and I did yesterday had already reached the ears of the warrior party.

During the preparation process for the play, Ethan and I took over the lead role for Bow, who was injured, and Penelope, who refused to act, and we even kissed boldly in front of an audience of about 200 people.

Of course, none of the guys who were busy running the cafe directly witnessed the scene, but most of them, including Geumbyeol, did not seem to particularly doubt the truth of the rumor.

“Big, groan… . If it’s Rosewood, then it could definitely be like that, heh heh… .”

“If it’s Youngae Lilith… I think it’s a very possible story.”

“I don’t think it’s strange, since Release can be quite daring at times!”

… What kind of image do these guys have in their heads?

That bastard knows my true identity, so it can’t be helped that he’s tearing me apart like that, but I didn’t know that even Thomas and Natalie thought of me this way.

But I thought she was pretty well behaved in front of other guys besides Agnes.

“Today is the day off for Prince Antonio and Miss Agnes. Since the Prince is not here, if there is a problem with the guests today, it may be a bit difficult to mediate, so I ask that you, Lord Ethan and the warrior Gyeomjyojosegi, pay special attention.”

“Yeah, release.”

“Yes, Miss Rosewood.”

“Of course, thanks to Prince Antonio’s efforts, there will probably be almost no unpleasant guests from today. And I will be assisting in the kitchen with Sally in place of Miss Agnes… .”

The warrior party begins its fifth day of business after a morning meeting to discuss how to fill the void left by Prince Antonio and Agnes, who have been playing important roles in the Maid & Butler Cafe.

Since I took over Agnes’ original position as kitchen assistant, it became a bit more difficult for me to directly deal with problems that occurred in the hall, but there were also some positive aspects.

Because I got a chance to have a one-on-one conversation with the main chef of the Maid & Butler Cafe, Geum-byul.

After glancing over at Silena, who was busy cleaning up the dishes that piled up as usual, I carefully spoke to the guy, avoiding her gaze and ears.

“Hey, what’s up.”

“Why, you little punk.”

“You idiot, don’t do that. If you call me that and Ethan catches you, you’ll really lose, right?”

“… If that’s the case, isn’t the way you call me dangerous in the first place? If you shorten my name like that, anyone who hears it will think it’s a nickname.”

“What the heck… !”

Shit, this kid is so annoying even when I use metaphors.

It was a moment when my expression distorted at the words of a guy who made me feel like vomiting just thinking about it.

“Ha, fuck. Don’t say things that make you want to throw up. Do you think I’m the real Ice King pre-release? ”

“… No, I misspoke, but is that really something you hate so much…? Of course, I know that by your standards I look worse than Ethan, but even so, as a warrior, I have an objectively handsome face, right? ”

“… … .”

… Now that I think about it, this kid knew I was a woman in my past life too.

Well, how could anyone imagine that a girl who sucked and bit a man and even kissed him in front of hundreds of audiences was a man in her past life?

For the sake of my honor, this was a secret I had to keep until I died. If they found out I was a man, then I might seriously want to kill myself.

“Ha, the very idea of a woman having two men in her heart is disgusting. You know best that I can’t tolerate that.”

“… Oh, right. You were like that in your past life too. It’s not for nothing that you’re called the 3rd Emperor of Lua Gallery.”

“What did the guy who finished the fourth part of 『Luminor Academy』 say after reading that strategy guide say?”

“Back then, I thought you were a serious person who only wrote strategy articles and not a slapstick joke. When you were writing strategy articles, I was also a newbie to Lua Gallery.”

“… … .”

“But when I think about it, it’s kind of strange. Usually, isn’t it the man who says that women should maintain their virginity? You were a woman in your past life, but you keep posting about how women should maintain their virginity?”

“What, what do you want me to do? Can’t women preach about virginity? Are you dissatisfied, Inma?”

“No, I just asked because I was curious, so why are you getting so angry… .”

“… I don’t know, anyway, don’t talk about past lives. And don’t call me Lil’ Girl.”

“Yes, yes. I understand, Miss Rosewood.”

“What are you two talking about?”

“… Yes? What are you talking about, Miss Silena?”

“I just asked how much was left because I was going to have to go out for a croissant and tea next time.”

“… Really?”

Fortunately, I guess it’s because I’m not very oblivious, but it seems like I didn’t hear the conversation that the guy who was like that… no, the guy who was like that who was like that.

It was fortunate that the warrior and I naturally stopped talking again due to Silena’s intervention, so we somehow managed to prevent the conclusion that I was a man in my past life.

… It was a little disappointing that we couldn’t even properly discuss the things we really needed to discuss.

‘Seraphine kidnapping event… It won’t happen this time, right…?’

In the original, it was the third main event that took place around the last day of the Luminor Festival.

This incident occurred because Karaham, who suddenly took a leave of absence when she became a third-year student, had actually been planning to kidnap Seraphine for a long time, and the entire Auguste family had been harboring revenge against Seraphine due to Lizzie’s death.

If things had gone as planned, it would have been an incident that occurred because Seraphine chose Agnes over Lizzie’s life at the masquerade ball, but in this world, thanks to my and Ethan’s intervention, Lizzie and Agnes were both safe.

Of course, there was no reason for the Auguste family to hold a grudge against Seraphine and the imperial family, and since both Lizzie and Karaham were attending school normally, it didn’t make sense for them to do something so crazy.

Above all, the reason Seraphine was kidnapped by Karaham so easily was because she was tormented by the guilt of not being able to save her sister, and if they had fought one-on-one, it would not have been to the extent that Seraphine would have been kidnapped by Karaham.

‘So, of course, it’s normal for the Seraphine kidnapping event not to occur in this world… .’

…Somehow, I feel a little uneasy.

Usually, events like this Academy Festival, where you can let your guard down, always end up causing trouble, so I was a little nervous about completely letting my guard down.

This is the feeling of a gamer who has played 『Luminor Academy』 24.9 times.

I’ve lost some confidence recently because my intuition has been off a few times, but it’s better to be prepared than not to be prepared.

Well, considering the warrior’s personality, he’s quite cautious, so he’s probably foolishly preparing for it.

‘…I don’t think anything bad will happen.’

At least we don’t have to see the mid-boss of Part 3, Majokhwa Karaham, so it’s okay.

I was focusing on taking care of the drink orders that had piled up while I was looking away for a moment, so I didn’t think much of it.

“Good job everyone, you worked hard today too.”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

“Oh, you worked hard today, warrior… .”

The Maid & Butler Cafe staff say goodbye after the fifth day of business without Agnes and Antonio.

After about five days, I started to get used to the maid and butler uniforms that each of us were wearing. Even Ethan’s butler uniform, which I had been a little embarrassed to see at first, looked quite familiar now.

Now, I feel strangely sad, thinking that tomorrow will be the last time I see this sight.

… Of course, if you asked me if I wanted to endure this hardship for another week, I would have declined.

“Tomorrow is the last day, so there will be no student council audit, so Seraphine and Luke will come to help. And since no one is taking the day off tomorrow, we will be able to work much more leisurely.”

“Da, thank goodness… . Oh, today was especially hectic… . Lee, Miss Release was in the kitchen too… .”

“Huh? Was there a problem in the hall?”

“Princess Rainy came to visit this afternoon as well. It seemed like she was looking for Lady Lilith, but since Lady Agnes wasn’t here today, it was judged that she couldn’t leave the kitchen, so Prince Ethan greeted her instead.”

“Oh, is that so? If so, that’s great.”

Princess Raini probably came to see Ethan, not me, so it would be better for her that way.

“Oh, and Professor Harold also visited this afternoon. Princess Mezlen received him.”

“The Princess respects Professor Harold. You responded well too.”

As expected from Thomas, who has been supporting Natalie since she was little, he seems to have handled the unexpected situation that arose in my absence well.

Just as I was about to warn her, thinking that perhaps she was done with her work now that she had met Harold, and was suddenly not coming to work tomorrow, I suddenly felt a sense of discomfort among the gathered members.

“… Just a moment, Mr. Thomas.”

“Yes, Miss Release Youngae.”

“Where is Princess Mezlen, who welcomed Professor Harold?”
