“…………………”
Why did Wilfred have to come to the cafeteria at this timing?
And he’s brought Warren, the son of the Knight Commander, who I had a run-in with at the dormitory earlier.
Seriously, what’s their relationship?
“Fufu… that scum ran away to the corner like a loser as soon as he saw Lord Hal’s face.”
Sandra giggles, seeing Wilfred glare at me and silently take a seat at the back of the cafeteria.
Lize tilts her head at her reaction, and Christia, who has trauma, turns pale.
“Could it be that those two don’t get along with Prince Wilfred?”
“It’s not just that they don’t get along, they’re our enemies.”
I frown as I answer Lize, who asks curiously.
That guy has taken off his mask as the unfortunate younger brother, and we openly antagonize each other.
“Hmm…”
“…You’re not interested in that scum, are you, Lize?”
“Of course not. Hal and Sandra’s enemies are my enemies.”
With a villainess-like composed expression, Lize flicks her drill hair.
As expected of the top villainess heroine of “EnHaza,” she’s quite the sight.
“Now, let’s end the talk about that guy and enjoy lunch. After all, it’s our first meal together.”
“Yes!”
“W-Well, we’re best friends, after all.”
“Ufufu, this is fun.”
“Yes.”
So, we pulled ourselves together and enjoyed lunch.
However.
“…………………”
Monica was the only one who kept watching Wilfred while eating.
◇
“Prince Harold, I have something to tell you.”
After finishing lunch with everyone and returning to my room, Monica said that with an unusually serious expression.
…Well, I had a feeling.
“Could it be… no, it must be about Wilfred, right?”
“Yes. From his lip movements, I was able to confirm the conversation those men had in the cafeteria earlier, and it seems that scum… no, he’s worse than scum. It seems like he’s planning to do something to the female students who participate in that party.”
“‘Do something’? What do you mean?”
“I don’t know. But the lewd looks on their faces at that time made it clear that it’s definitely something bad.”
Haa… what is he really planning to do?
“I see. Then we can’t just leave it as it is.”
“No, I think it would be better if Prince Harold didn’t do anything.”
“? What do you mean?”
“There’s no doubt that that man is planning something, but if Your Highness intervenes, you may be in even greater danger. Therefore…”
Monica suddenly moved closer and whispered in my ear…!?
“Monica!”
“Prince Harold, this is the best course of action. Please grant my request.”
Monica puts her hand on her chest and bows deeply.
Her hazel eyes, looking at me, are filled with determination.
“…Do you understand? How important you are to me.”
“Of course. I am more than fortunate to receive such affection from Your Highness. But Your Highness doesn’t know how important you are to me.”
“U…”
I can’t help but falter at Monica’s assertive voice.
But I can’t back down here.
I have to stop Monica from infiltrating Wilfred’s party at all costs.
“Monica, this is an order. You absolutely must not do such a thing.”
“…Understood.”
Monica bites her lip and looks down.
I crushed her offer… her resolve, with my selfishness.
It’s not that I don’t feel guilty, but even so, if I have to regret something, I’d rather choose Monica’s safety.
But I might never be able to face the heroines I abandoned.
After all, I chose a Mob over the main heroines.
I’m disqualified as an “EnHaza” fan…
“Really… really, you are…”
“Yeah… but there’s still time until Wilfred’s party starts. Let’s think about other ways, okay?”
“Yes…”
I hold Monica, who unusually jumped into my arms, and whisper that.
That’s right. If I have Sandra, Monica, and Caz, we can get through anything, and we always have.
So, this time too… come to think of it.
“Uwaa… Halu, I don’t know anything, okay?”
Caz, who was watching us while covering her face with her front paws, muttered that.
“Whoa!? N-No, it’s a misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding, okay!?”
“What… is Prince Harold going to abandon me?”
“Monica!? This isn’t the time for that joke!”
Changing her tune, Monica pretends to cry.
I desperately explained to Caz so that Sandra wouldn’t tell on me.
