"Well, this is Duke's own idea, so I guess it can't be helped."

　Mel muttered, as if giving up something.

"I'm sorry I called you an a**h*le."

　She suddenly bowed her head to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was surprised at her sudden action. Jill rolled her eyes at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought I'd be the one to apologize.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's amazing that you can apologize for what you did. It's natural, but there are so many people who can't do that. It's a good sign of upbringing.

"But you know, I think it was hard for the Lord too. But you know, I'm sure it's been hard for you too..." "That doesn't matter to Ari Ari at all. Can you at least listen to what I have to say?

　Mel said with a slight chuckle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I gave a small nod. We were in class now, and no one was going to interrupt us.

"Cather Liz, the first thing she said when she showed up at the Duke's was that her status was funny and that she wanted to be friends with you guys. Well, I guess that was new and unusual for Albert and Gail. No one ever approached me like that because they were reserved because I was one of the five nobles."

　Mel looks as if he is biting a bitter bug.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if he's that bad with Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She certainly sounds like a crazy person from the first line of her speech.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure even a commoner is well aware of the status system in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, you call the Lord by his name and your brother and Gale by "like"....

"Have you been watching me closely all this time?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill asked with a curious look on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Mel has been watching Liz for such a long time, why isn't he the one keeping an eye on her?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. I'm good at making my presence invisible."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He smiled proudly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She's flashy enough on the outside, but she can also be shady at times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's people like that who scare me the most.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Cather Liz is insensitive and insensitive, she gets into people's minds without reservation, it's good that she's curious, but she can't read the air at all. And at first you're annoyed by her uninhibited entry into your mind, but then you start to feel comfortable with it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's how you win people's hearts, one after another, unconsciously."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Immediately Jill agrees with Mel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel bites her nails lightly and stares at the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's ruining his pretty face. You really don't like her, do you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her tone has changed from light and cheerful to heavy and venomous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mel didn't have anything to do with Ms. Liz?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm just watching."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I wonder why Duke didn't fall in with Cather Liz."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said with a hand on her chin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're right, that's the biggest problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why didn't Master Duke fall for Miss Liz?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She's a beautiful girl and she's so patient and kind and has a pure heart, isn't she just the ideal for a man?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... hmmm, isn't that because you saw a more intense woman first?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel then turned to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I admit that I was no ordinary young lady, but I must have been far from Duke's type of woman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I shouldn't have made such a great impression on Duke's brain before Liz did.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then again, I was basically a jerk. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ari Ari's thoughts are totally different from Cather Liz's, aren't they?　Cather Liz says some very good things, and her ideas are not wrong. But it's just an ideal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could see the horror on Mel's face as he laughed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're not acting, are you, girl? But Ali Ali is realistic and sees the future. It's cruel, but she's doing the right thing. ...... to go to a normal poor village."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel huffed in mid-sentence and shut his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He looks at me with an expression that says, "I've done it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder how he knew I had been to the poor village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Mel knows, does that mean Master Duke knew too?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How does Mel know that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's see, ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did Duke tell you about it or something?　Squires are influenced by the thoughts of their masters, and that's why Mel has a rebellious streak against Cather Liz and a fondness for Alicia, even though they've never spoken."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said that as a matter of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if Jill is really eleven years old. She talks like an adult.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, yes, yes!　You're so smart, Jill!　My Lord was the first to find out that Jill is from a poor village~!　Well, the Lord's face was terrible when he found out. He must have been so worried, but he never showed that kind of expression in front of Ari Ari Ari, did he?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel laughed happily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His expression and tone of voice change really quickly. I think he is probably the most intense character I've ever met.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder why this girl was not in the game.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel may not be a main character, but she surely has a fixed fan base.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I was always concerned about the danger around Ari Ari. Oh, don't worry, it's not like he was keeping an eye on them or anything. I think he was very patient watching over them for a Duke. Well, it's funny to say that he was watching over them when they didn't really ask for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......The last word, my heart aches. I know I deserved it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"About a year after Ali Ali disappeared from the school, the number of bad words about Ali Ali suddenly increased. Maybe they thought she would never come back."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel began to speak without hesitation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... I think Mel and I are going to hit it off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You say that in front of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I thought Ariari wouldn't mind."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's amazing how much you know about my personality."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ali Ali praised me!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're older than me. Tell me the rest of the story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said to Mel with a dazed look on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps Jill is the most mature of them all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel looked bored and began to tell the rest of the story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, the more things got like that, the worse Duke's mood got. He hardly ever laughed. ...... Then Cather Liz approached Duke. She asked him to have tea with her, I want to see your smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's exactly the kind of line I'd expect from a heroine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally I would have fallen in love with her, but since Duke-sama seems to like me, I'm sure he would only feel disgusted by her words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's exactly what Ariari is imagining right now. Duke gave me the cold shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But Cather Liz saw Duke's behavior as coming from a place of sadness and loneliness, and she tried to get him to open up and get more involved."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said as if to add to Mel's story. It was as if she had been there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel rolled his eyes at Jill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You knew?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I just thought that's what Cather Liz would do. Just a guess."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel seemed interested in Jill. When he first saw her, his eyes were cold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the way Mel's attitude toward Jill was changing rapidly was not unpleasant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, it was pleasant to watch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that Liz would have looked at Jill with pity when she heard that she was from a poor village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure she would say that's terrible because we're all human beings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Mel is suspicious and observant from the beginning. If he likes someone, even if the world doesn't like him, he likes him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said he liked me, but I'm sure he made that judgment based on his many observations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, Mel. Do you know where Duke is right now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe in the cafeteria at this time of night."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you in the cafeteria?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill asked with a surprised look on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is Master Duke in the cafeteria?　No way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"They're eating on the terrace, where only the student council is allowed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel saw the expressions on our faces and hurriedly added, "I'm sorry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, I see what you mean. Duke-sama's level doesn't eat with everyone, does he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ari Ari, are you going to Duke's?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I have something to say and something to ask you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that I turned to leave the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was only for a short while, but I knew how to get to the cafeteria from the school I had attended.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I started walking and before I knew it, Mel had disappeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill seemed to have noticed it too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was surprised to see Mel's face. ......It's true that if he can make his presence disappear in an instant, he can appear anytime and from anywhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're Duke's squire after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What kind of magic is Mel?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's earth magic."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was in the middle of my little mumbling when I heard a voice out of nowhere. ...... You're still around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, did you just say "earth magic"?　I've never seen you before!　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This Otome game is a bit weird in some ways, so the earth magic is kind of a mob thing .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But for now, we have to get to the Duke.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I walk a little faster.
