[Jarvis’s Feelings]

We, Knights of the Academy, managed to deal with the sudden wyvern attack event with flying colors.

The banquet held that night was extremely lively, and we were swept along by the atmosphere.

Reina was glued to Mr. Abel the whole time.

Maybe because he was drunk? Mr. Abel was chatting with her very enthusiastically as well. Gone was his usual calmness, replaced by a very joyous look. He was concerned about the age difference between him and Reina, but seeing how they were getting along so well, it looked like I didn’t have to step in too much.

There was another couple showing off their lovey-doveyness over here.

“Raul, this is very delicious.”

“Thanks, Eureka.”

Eureka and Raul were already flirting oh so naturally.

Their initial awkwardness had already gone who knew where, even at this moment, Eureka was feeding Raul, saying, “Say ahh.”

I, on the other hand…

“Barrett, this meat is delicious♪.”

“Thanks, Tayte.”

…Feeling I couldn’t afford to lose, my competitive spirit was ignited, so I had Tayte feed me too.

Of course, I didn’t force her to do it.

Tayte was doing it willingly.

“How is it?”

“It’s delicious. I’m sure you feeding me greatly enhances the taste.”

“J-jeez! Flattering me won’t get you anything…” Feeling embarrassed after doing it, Tayte blushed furiously. Was she an angel? She definitely was.

——Wait, this wasn’t the right time to be lost in our own world.

If we flirted too much, Jarvis…

“Where is Jarvis?”

It appeared that it would take a while for Tayte to calm down, so I decided to look for Jarvis. I mean, other than her, everyone was in a romantic relationship, so I was worried that Jarvis would feel left out on occasions like this.

After entrusting Tayte to my three maids, I looked around the area, and I found Jarvis standing alone slightly away from the banquet hall.

“So you were here.”

When I called out to her, Jarvis turned back to me and gave me a surprised look. “What are you doing here? Where’s Tayte?”

“She’s down at the moment.”

“Hmm… she must have fed you, only to feel embarrassed after the fact.”

“What, you were watching?”

“…I was just randomly guessing, but to think I’d hit the bullseye,” Jarvis muttered in amazement.

But that was too accurate for a random guess.

Well anyway, I refocused and…

“Sorry. We got too excited and uh…”

“Mm? Ahh, I’m already used to your flirting, so it’s okay. Besides… this is my fate for being born into the Lekrust House.”

Thereupon, I had a sudden realization.

Reina and Mr. Abel.

Raul and Eureka.

And, me and Tayte.

I thought everyone was saved already—but the truth was, Jarvis wasn’t yet.

Sure, I had proposed to help her keep her secret, and there was no one to blackmail her to do evil deeds like in the original storyline. Nonetheless, Jarvis was still pretending to be a boy.

She never said it herself… but from how she acted usually and how her femininity slipped out from time to time (as well as how she’d reacted when I’d seen her naked), she actually might want to live as a girl.

How could I have overlooked something so important…?

“H-hey, Jarvis.”

“What’s up?”

“Uh, it’s nothing…”

——But I couldn’t do anything for her right now.

I first had to ask about her true feelings.

I wonder what is in Jarvis’s mind…
