On a certain day when I was carrying a few heavy books which was used as resources for the class to the library and going down the stairs. The moment I started climbing down, a student suddenly came and bumped towards me, incidentally the books I held fell. The blunt sound of books scattered in the ground, and one of which almost fell to the ground. As I fluster and chase after the book, I then picked it up from the before it reaches the bottom of the stairs… There, I found Misano-jou standing. As I was focusing on the book, I did not realize she was there, and the book had almost hit her. Her face turned grim.
As I felt sorry and brought out my noble daughter smile "My apologies, that was not on purpose.".
As a daughter of a noble, my response was not wrong. But Misano-jou was not satisfied with it and glared back at me.
Did my tone of voice annoyed her? Or maybe was Misano-jou thinking that was my way of harassment to stop her and Schneider from getting close to each other. As I was thinking about to apologize again, she had turned the other way and went away.
On another day during the middle of magic class, a certain student's magic went out of control.
"Rhonya!"
The cluster of magic with an unpleasant buzzing sound flew towards my direction. Schneider was swiftly moving towards my side but I had responded quicker and reflected the cluster of magic. As unfortunate as it was, the reflected magic headed towards the direction of Misano-jou. It had barely missed Misano-jou, and I was glared at again.
…T-that's not on purpose…
The student who was reckless was scolded and the class continued on per usual, and lastly matches was conducted… And my opponent was Misano-jou.
Since the match influences our grades, I went all out against her and won. Misano-jou had a fierce glare towards me.
…B-but this can't be helped right…
Coincidentally, all these happenings went precisely the same as the novel's scenario. In short, even though I did not hold any ill will, it looked as if I was harassing Misano-jou. Even if I did not do anything, everything felt like it was heading precisely towards the ending of the novel. My worries grew even more.
As the only daughter of the Gavizera family, 'Ruler of the Capital's Southeaster', various kinds of people would approach me. Additionally, I was engaged to the son of the younger brother of the king. With few people which I could call friends, but I had many cohorts of noble daughters. They would frequently invite me to tea parties, and shockingly, even a special space for my personal use was prepared.
I was invited today as well by several of them and approached the tea party space. The space was built on the first floor of a space which blocks wind and was like a salon. Nearby was a helix stairway which is connected to the second and third floor's hallway.
Truth to be told, I wanted to relax alone but thinking of the future, interacting with the noble daughters were more important. In the room filled with the gentle warmth of sunlight, I prepared the drinks and sweets. In the beginning, the noble daughters felt too honored to be served the tea I prepared, but eventually they became used to it. They loved teas which was popular, as I prepare so for them, I then prepared a cup of coffee for myself.
"Rhonya-sama, about Misano-jou, isn't she acting too familiar with Schneider-sama recently?"
"Rhonya-sama, wouldn't it be wise to show her to know her own place?"
The conversation topic today is about Misano-jou.
The noble daughters in beautiful dresses under the gentle sunlight, while enjoying a cup of tea elegantly is spurting dangerous thoughts with lovely smiles.
"Misano-jou is definitely planning something to steal Schneider-sama away from you. Rhonya-sama, would you like to remind her of her standing?"
I returned a smile to them who suggested those ideas with a lovely smile.
"There is no need for such, I believe" As I answered, the noble daughters had an impressed expression.
"My, Rhonya-sama. You are as calm as always."
"Truly, what a wonderful person you are."
"Rather than that, the tea today is marvelous as well."
"Yes it is, the sweets as well."
And I felt relieved after the topic changed. But the next moment, black creatures came crawling down from midair.
"Gyaaaaaa!!" The noble daughter screamed out loud.
Looking closer, the black creatures were spiders the size of a fist.
"Nooooooooo!!" with a pale face, the noble daughters flustered.
On the other hand I was composed. Other than the creature with the initial G**, I am fine with everything else.
Rather, these spiders which a plump abdomen and big round eyes look adorable to me. As I look upwards toward the hallway of the second floor, I could see the figure of Misano-jou with an expression as if she had won and went away. She was responsible for this.
The noble daughters then rushingly ran away, it seems they were really scared of spiders.
While I observe the spiders and drinking a cup of coffee, a refreshing voice can be heard from behind.
"Hi there Rhonya-jou! Having tea alone today?"
As I look back, there was Henzel Riley with silky golden hair tied up to the back.
