“Whoa… I don’t want to get close…”
Peeking inside the second-year classroom from the entrance, I found Raphael sitting at his desk, looking down.
Despite being a Light Attribute character, he was emitting such a Dark Attribute aura that none of the surrounding students could approach him.
“Lord Hal, what do you want to do?”
“Let’s pretend we didn’t see anything and go back to the classroom.”
In the first place, I don’t care what kind of relationship Raphael and Liliana have.
If he got rejected, he got rejected. He can do whatever he wants.
So, I turned on my heel and tried to make a Strategic Retreat from the spot, but…
“Could it be… Harold?”
“!?”
Unfortunately, it seems I was spotted by Raphael.
I might get scolded by the person wearing the tengu mask for being “slow to judge.”
“Ah, haha… I just happened to have some business here, but you seem to be busy. Well then.”
I raised my right hand cheerfully and tried to make a quick escape, but.
“Harold, can I have a moment?”
“…Yes.”
Damn it. I got caught by Raphael.
I shouldn’t have stuck my nose in it in the first place. Oh well.
So, we ended up being led by Raphael to the back of the school building.
“…Actually, Lady Liliana has started ignoring me.”
“Hah… I see…”
I heard about that from Cardis.
But Liliana doesn’t seem to realize that, and rather, she’s dissatisfied that Raphael hasn’t been bringing her meat.
“Is that true? I spoke with Liliana in the cafeteria during lunch break today, and she actually said that Brother hasn’t been showing his face lately…”
“Surely that’s just her being considerate. Because she doesn’t even notice when I approach her. She ignores me when I call out to her. So surely, Liliana hates me.”
Raphael said with an expression that looked like he was about to cry.
There was no trace of the black-hearted mama’s boy prince he showed in “Engage Hazard.”
But I just want to say one thing.
Honestly, I don’t care. Even though I stuck my nose in it myself, this is nothing but a pain in the ass.
“…Perhaps Brother is mistaken, so why don’t you try talking to her again?”
“!? Don’t ask the impossible! If she ignores me again, I won’t be able to… go on living…”
“Ehh…”
Raphael, you’re being so weepy.
That Raphael, who fought Cardis for the Succession Dispute in “EnHaza” and eliminated enemies with various underhanded tactics.
Even in “Galhaza,” where Liliana is the protagonist, Raphael was always full of confidence and stood his ground against the other male love interests… wait.
“Huh…?”
Here, I felt a sense of incongruity.
Come to think of it, there was an event in “Galhaza” where the protagonist had a falling out with a love interest.
There are compatibility issues between the love interests, with some combinations being friendly and others being hostile.
The easiest example to understand is the relationship between Cardis and Raphael. Given that they are in a Succession Dispute, their compatibility is the worst.
“…No, that’s not it.”
After defeating Themis, their relationship isn’t that hostile anymore. As for the Succession Dispute, Raphael isn’t that fixated on it anymore.
So, what else could be the cause… ah.
“Um… I’d like to ask, before Liliana started ignoring you, were you having conversations with her?”
“Before she started ignoring me? …Brother Cardis and Owen kept getting in the way at every turn, so there weren’t any opportunities for us to be alone.”
“I see…”
I knew it.
This is the love interest’s “Pouting Mode.”
In all gal games and otome games, not just “Galhaza,” if you neglect a love interest who has progressed to a certain point, an event where they pout will occur.
They might give you a warning once with a sullen face, but if you ignore it, their affection will decrease, and in some games, it might even lead to being unable to capture them.
Liliana probably isn’t aware of anything… no, she’s probably only aware of the meat, but by not paying attention to Raphael, she’s shifted into “Pouting Mode.”
In this case, you can’t expect Raphael to take action towards Liliana.
If he wants to maintain the relationship, Liliana has to be the one to call out to him.
However.
“I understand. I’ll try to talk to Liliana about it casually at another time.”
Yes, that’s a lie.
I really don’t care, so I’ll just leave it alone.
I could talk to Liliana and tell her to pay more attention to Raphael, but if I did, I could picture Raphael getting carried away and showing off with a smug look, like in “Galhaza,” saying, “As I thought, Lady Liliana is interested in me…” It’s a little irritating.
“! Really!”
Raphael grabbed both of my shoulders and shook me back and forth with all his might.
It’s making me sick.
“Yay! As expected, having a reliable younger brother is great!”
“Ah, haha…”
Raphael, I don’t have a hobby of being hugged by men.
Please get away from me soon.
“Well then, I’ll be going now.”
“I’m counting on you!”
I left the classroom, seeing off Raphael who was waving his hand with all his might… but.
“Pfft. Prince Raphael’s clownishness was quite something.”
Apparently, Monica understood what I was thinking, and she was laughing without even trying to hide it.
That’s right. I’m not going to do anything.
I’m not so free that I can get involved in such things.
“Sorry for making you two put up with such nonsense.”
“No, I’m satisfied since I got to see something interesting.”
“Monica, you…”
Sandra pressed her temples, looking at Monica who was giving a thumbs up with a full smile.
I really wonder about my Personal Maid.
So, after a week of me leaving everything alone.
“Lady Liliana, here, eat up.”
“Yay! Thank you very much!”
In the cafeteria, Raphael was providing Liliana with meat as if there was no end.
It seems that even without me doing anything, Liliana paid attention to him.
“How boring.”
Monica was looking dissatisfied as she watched the two of them. What a terrible Personal Maid.
But I’m going to provide her with another source of laughter.
“Monica.”
“What is it?… Pfft.”
Monica laughed as much as she could after seeing where I was pointing.
There, Cardis and Owen were grinding their teeth and staring from the shadows of the pillars.
