Beret and Elena.

Now that I was distanced from my classmates and isolated in the classroom.

“…”

Beret plopped down on his desk and fell asleep.

It was easy to fall asleep because no one was talking to him and he was not disturbed all the time… How many minutes had passed since he had slept…?

“-Tap!”

“!?”

Just as I was about to fall into a deep sleep.

A loud noise, like a banging on a desk, came from next to me, and I jerked my upper body up in surprise.

Reflexively, I turned to look at my side and noticed a girl with long, red hair and a choker around her neck. I saw her ample breasts and slender waist.

I knew immediately who it was because of this partial element of Beret’s memory.

‘Fuaaaaaa…’ I looked up, hiding a yawn with my hand, and my eyes immediately met the person.

“Ara, I’m sorry. I woke you up.”

“….Elena? It’s okay. It’s my fault for sleeping.”

I feel like she intentionally made a loud noise, but I can’t say for sure…

As it was, I looked at the clock and saw that in a little over 10 minutes it would be time to move to the class where the teacher was.

“Fuhhh. Almost to the class. Hang in there…”

“You’re always sleeping in class. Are you going to challenge the teacher today?”

“What? Me?”

“Who else but you? It’s not that unusual.”

“…I see.”

I asked back just because I hadn’t thought of challenging the teacher, but ‘it’s not uncommon’ made sense to me right away.

“I’m not saying it’s wrong to argue, but it would be more meaningful if you put your energy into something else. You are a good student.”

“I really appreciate that.”

“You are listening to me today, huh? That’s unusual.”

Elena and I were having a normal conversation, but we did not have a close relationship.

We greeted each other when we saw each other and occasionally struck up a conversation.

Beret was feared by those around him, but Elena, who had a strong rank as a daughter of a count, did not change her attitude depending on the person she was talking to.

“Maybe it’s because I woke up from sleep.”

“That’s not a reason at all. Well, okay. …I know this is out of the blue, but what the hell are you thinking?”

“What? About what?”

“You know what I’m talking about. I’m asking you about Shea.”

Elena sat down on the seat next to me and turned her sharp eyes on me, curling her red hair with her index finger.

She never missed a suspicious trend. She was making such a serious expression that I could sense such an intention.

“I ran into her this morning and she told me that she had broken your favorite cup, and that you had not accused her of anything. That you picked up the broken pieces for her so that she wouldn’t get hurt. And you even let her have free time for lunch.”

Her beautiful jewel-like purple eyes shot out at me. Elena leaned forward and brought her neat face close to mine.

While precisely probing her objective, she also prepared an escape route so as not to be rude.

As one would expect from the daughter of a Count, she was as shrewd as she was beautiful.

“Let’s get back to the point. …I couldn’t leave her alone if I saw her face like that.”

Elena, who deliberately cowered her slender shoulders and wore a smiling expression as if remembering that moment, continued to speak.

In an instant, Elena’s voice changed to a thorny tone, and she returned to a serious expression and placed her hand on her cheek.

“That is why, as a friend, I can’t keep quiet if you are playing games with her feelings. This kind of thing can’t be the reason just because she’s a ‘maid of honor’.”

“I see. I understand what you are saying.”

Getting severely pissed off. Being sent on errands. Being told unreasonable things.

This was something that was unavoidable to a certain extent when you were working as a maid of honor.

Elena knew this, and she had never once warned Beret about the way he treated her.

However, it was beyond the scope of a maid of honor’s job to let anyone play with her feelings.

She could have given me a genuine warning.

“Well, you won’t believe me when I tell you this, but I can promise you. I’m not playing around with her or playing with her feelings. First of all, there’s no point in doing that.”

“Then why did you take that stand? Tell me.”

At this point, Elena naturally sensed that Beret was serious.

“I don’t know why. Why don’t you ask Shea instead of me?”

“You’re right, I should ask Shea. You ordered her not to tell anyone.”

“I didn’t order her not to tell anyone. I asked her not to.”

“Please don’t talk down to me. Don’t you think you are blackmailing me.”

“Say what you want.”

“There is no way anyone can say something crazy like, ‘Now that I’ve been reincarnated, I’ve become nicer.'”

I was going to shrug it off. This was fine.

“That’s why I’m not thinking about anything that would worry you. Please keep in touch with Shea.”

“My relationship with Shea is not as shallow as the connection you’re asking me to maintain with her. I’m not going to say, ‘Sure.’ to that.”

“Haha, what you said is already enough for me.”

“Hmph. That’s enough. Bye.”

“Yes, yes.”

Elena replied to Beret without hesitation and stood up. She took the materials on her desk and began to move quickly to the classroom where her class was being held.

∮

I wonder why I… believe his promises so easily…

I guess it was easier to talk to him than usual…

It’s just my imagination that I enjoyed it a little, just a little bit…

“Hmmm, you’re kind of out of tune…”

Elena’s head was filled with a murmur.

“It made me feel glad that I had worked so hard all this time. When I think back on it, it really made me happy… Heheheh.”

This morning’s conversation. She was picturing the face of Shea, who was looking happy and relaxed.
