- Chapter 3.1 - The Young Lady Gets Caught Up in the Game
I can’t get Mr. Alan to like me…”
Rebecca sighed deeply as she said this.
“Well… the teacher isn’t part of the capture target.”
“I thought we could choose someone other than the capture target.”
“But we are also very far apart in age.”
“It’s not unusual for aristocrats to have a ten year age difference, right?”
“You’re right, but, in the first place, a teacher and a student…”
“I wanted to hear him whisper his love to me in that voice.”
Two months have passed since we entered the academy.
Rebecca and I had become good friends.
I was worried about academy life, but so far I’ve been able to keep up with the classes and things are going well.
Rebecca has been trying to get close to her homeroom teacher, Mr. Alan, who was her favorite teacher in her previous life, but it seems that things are not going well.
There are strategies in games, but it’s different in real life.
And seems like it wasn’t Mr. Alan she’s getting along with…
“But you are getting close to Liam instead, aren’t you?”
“I don’t like him!”
Rebecca clenched her fists.
“Why is it that only Liam has the power to force me to play this game?”
That was about a month ago.
Rebecca ran into Liam in the library.
It’s a common scene in games, and in comic books, where hands touch while trying to get the same book.
Liam, who is a misogynist, was very uncomfortable about the hand touching, but since the book was about politics, which is rare for a woman to read, he was inwardly impressed and became interested in the heroine, which happened just as like in the game.
Since then, the event has been happening frequently, following Liam’s route in the game.
Incidentally, no event happened with Patrick and His Highness Leopold, and they seem to recognize Rebecca as my friend.
“In any case, you’ll get on the Liam route as it is..”
“With the sadist tsundere?!”
“…but he didn’t say anything horrible like in the game, did he?”
“That’s true, but…”
In the game, Liam’s words to the heroine were quite harsh at first, and many players were brokenhearted, but in reality, Liam’s attitude is bad but his words are not so bad.
“Liam is the future prime minister, so he can elevate your status.”
“But, I’m not interested with that…”
“Hello, Alexia.”
Suddenly, I heard His Highness’ voice.
“I didn’t see you in the dining room, but here you are.”
I turned around to see a smiling His Highness and an expressionless Liam standing there.
This was the backyard and we were having lunch.
Rebecca had made lunch for us today.
When I told her about what I used to eat in my previous life, she said she sometimes made sandwiches, so I asked her to do so.
Normally, aristocrats do not cook for themselves.
However, Rebecca’s family is a little different, and her mother’s hobby is cooking.
Rebecca, like me, remembered her previous life after entering the academy, and she said that she had been in the kitchen since she was a child because of her mother’s influence.
After she remembered, she started making the same things she had made in her previous life.
“This…is a dish I’ve never seen before, has it?’
His Highness peeked at the sandwich between us.
“…Is that how you eat it, with your hands?”
Liam also furrowed his eyebrows.
Royalty and nobility don’t eat directly with their hands.
“It’s called a sandwich, and it’s made by sandwiching a variety of things between two pieces of bread.”
Rebecca made me a ham and lettuce sandwich, a finely chopped cucumber sandwich, and a fried egg sandwich, which does not exist in this world.
His Highness’ eyes were full of anticipation as he gazed at the delicious-looking sandwiches, all of which were cut into bite-sized pieces and neatly arranged for easy eating…this…was…I know it.
I made eye contact with Rebecca and looked up at Her Highness.
“If you don’t mind…would you like to try some?”
“May I?”
“Your Highness, it’s…”
“It’s fine, Alexia is eating it too.”
Liam tried to stop him, but His Highness looked back at him and said, “I’m sorry”
But His Highness didn’t seem to mind.
“If you don’t mind, Liam-sama, you can have some too. This is Rebecca’s handmade.”
Liam’s eyebrows twitched.
“Yes, Liam, you should try some. It’s important to have the experience of trying something new.”
“If Your Highness says so.”
The two sat down on the bench next to him and he presented them with a box of sandwiches.
His Highness took the cucumber and Liam took the ham and lettuce.
He said, “Wow, it is very tasty with a tinge of sour taste.”
His Highness said with a smile as he ate the cucumber and lettuce without hesitation.
Liam was as expressionless as ever.
”Well…thank you.”
Rebecca showed a relieved face.
She would indeed be nervous to have the prince eat a dish of her own making.
“Can I have another?
“Sure…here it is.”
Before he could even hear her reply, His Highness reached for one of the other sandwiches.
“They are all delicious, Liam.”
“Yes, sir.”
Liam nodded, having eaten all of them as well as His Highness.
“I was surprised that she is not only smart, but can cook as well. Miss Stefani has many talents.”
”…I thank you for your fearless words.”
…This is something like a game event, isn’t it?
I suddenly thought of that.
When I think about it, it’s such a thing that His Highness would so easily eat food prepared by someone other than the cook…
“Alexia.”
Suddenly, His Highness’ hand reached out to me.
He touched my mouth…
“You got something there.”
He took something from my mouth with his fingertips and put it in his mouth.
“Even though it was cut into pieces that were easy to eat, was it too big for Alexia’s small mouth?
…… huh?
I can feel my face turning red all at once.
Seeing me like that, His Highness smiled and stood up.
“I’m sorry I ate your meal.”
“No…”
“We’re going back, Liam.”
“Okay”
“I’ll give you something to thank you for today.”
And with that, they left.
