Blonde drills girl again.

“Tea, are you sure you don’t want to order food?”

“Yes, I am. I’ll provide the food, if you’d like get only some tea.”

The members here know that I have an inventory, so I decided to take some out of my stockpile.

After a hard day of exams, it’s not good to have a greasy lunch.

Mariel-chan, who was standing next to me, nodded her head with a very nice smile.

“All right, then. I’ll go inform the receptionist, and you guys can wait here.”

“Hey, I’m coming with you. I’ll let them use the tea leaves I keep in my room.”

We had to wait in the upstairs hall while Oniisama and His Highness Prince Raymond went to the reception.

“It’s amazing. When I heard about the academy’s salon, I wondered what it would be like, but it’s really gorgeous.”

Mariel-chan chuckled and said.

“Yes, it is. It’s not as luxurious as the Ellisfeed family’s house, though. Most of the operating costs of the salon building are apparently covered by donations from the parents of the nobles who attend the academy.”

Heeeh, I see.

“Ah…”

I let out a small exclamation, and she looked at me as if she heard me.

“… You…”

The blonde-haired drills girl glared at me and walked up to me.

“I thought you were having a friendly chat with His Highness Prince Raymond and Norman-sama just now. But you’re having a tea party with someone else!? How disgraceful is that!”

“Wha??”

What do you mean, “disgraceful”? How rude.

It’s normal to talk with your brother and his schoolmate, His Highness, and Sei is a fellow Saint Beast contractor living in the same dormitory.

It may not be admirable for a young lady of nobility to be friendly with a man who is not her fiancé, but you, an outsider who does not know what you are talking about, has no right to call me disgraceful.

Gununu… Ignoring my attempt to argue with her, she continued,

“I heard that your father turned down an offer to marry His Highness Prince Raymond as soon as you were born. That means that your father decided that you were not suitable to be his fiancée, right? But now that you’ve become a Saint Beast contractor, you’re still lingering around His Highness’ side…”

“… Huh?”
