Akuyaku Reijou ni Nanka Narimasen - Chapter 485 (Patreon)

Reporting is important.
After fully charging up on Dirk's affection, I arrived at school only to have my mental state immediately ground down. Oh God, Shiva-sama, Kurarin-sama... do you have some grudge against me? On second thought, I feel like it wouldn't be unreasonable for Shiva to hold a grudge.

But really, is prostrating at the school gate the latest trend? Also, I don't think I've ever told anyone to prostrate themselves, but it feels like it's happening to me quite often. Why doesn't everyone just apologize normally or consider the place? My mind was flying off at an angle, but I reluctantly decided to acknowledge the situation.

I've arrived at school. Rinka-san was prostrating before me. Ditz-kun was fretting behind her. Hey, don't you start prostrating too. Lavita was giving a wry smile. Stop them, will you?

"First of all, stop prostrating. And explain what happened!"

"With pleasure!"

Since I was almost late today, I decided to skip the first period. I'm sleepy, and it's just a lecture on manners, so there's no point in attending.

I found a suitable empty classroom and cast a barrier and soundproofing. I'm also using concealment, so unless someone is a Sage or a higher-level practitioner, they won't notice.

"Is this okay? So, what happened?"

Rinka told me about yesterday's bizarre play. I wonder how Duke Carlisle’s son made it home. It's very concerning. If this were modern Japan, it would definitely be a case for police questioning. Bare legs, belly button showing, and leg hair... it's a triple threat... I wanted to see it! No, I didn't! But I did want to point and laugh!

"If you're going to do something that funny, invite me next time!"

"No, it wasn't on purpose. I just went with the flow..."

"Just went with the flow..."

Ditz-kun was shocked, but knowing Rinka's history of bizarre plays, this is still relatively tame. It's probably out of consideration for Ditz-kun.

"Well, what's done is done. Let's see how the other party reacts first."

"Yes!"

And then, I reported it at lunch as well. My brother clapped his hands and burst out laughing.

"Pfft... well done on that poser! But really, if you're going to do something that funny, you should invite me!"

"Rosarin-chan"

"What is it?"

"Why are you two so similar! I felt a huge sense of déjà vu."

"You've finally awakened to the power of foresight! Ru-sama is definitely Rosarin-chan's older brother, isn't he?"

"What do you mean by that?"

My brother and I smiled sweetly. Aldin-sama let out a small "eep". How rude.

"It means you are super close and in perfect sync! Sorry for being so cheeky!!"

Rinka immediately prostrated herself. I wish she had shown a bit more persistence. Alphage-sama approached me with a truly joyful expression.

"So, what do you intend to do, Miss Rosarin?"

"Well, it depends on how he responds. However, since Rinka's magic is powerful, I expect some sort of overture."

I promised to report again if anything else happened, and with that, we disbanded for the afternoon.

"Oh, excuse m–... Ahh!?"

The one who deliberately bumped into me was Miss Leticia. She's a Marquis’s daughter and seems very much like a Villainess. However, she picked the wrong opponent. I've been training, so even if someone bumps into me, my muscles will bounce her off... Just kidding, I actually had a magic spell for reflecting attacks on me. So, poor Miss Leticia, who bumped into me, was the one who got bounced away.

"Oh my, I apologize."

I somehow managed to catch Miss Leticia.

"......! L-let go of me!"

"Okay."

I gently let go so she wouldn't fall. She's cute today too.

"I-I will remember this!!"

Miss Leticia, her face turning red, ran away. Yeah, she's cute. It's funny and never gets old how she picks a fight and then self-destructs. Lately, Miss Leticia has become my favorite lady.

"...... Oh no... my dark history is...."

Milfi was holding her head. Rabisha-chan was comforting her. Aldin-sama looked pained.

This is what usually happens when Milfi meets Miss Leticia. She remembers how she used to be unable to be honest with me and would spew insults, and she feels terrible about it. I don't mind, you know? Milfi was kind to me in her own way, wasn't she? I love both the Milfi of now and the Milfi of the past.

"Sigh..."

It seems Milfi’s fit has calmed down.

"Milfi, I love you very much."

"I love you too, Rosary. But still, for Miss Leticia to bump into you on purpose!"

"No, I bounced her away, and I don't mind."

It's more like she's the one who took the big damage.

"... Why does Miss Leticia pick on Rosarin so much?"

"That is..."

"You know..."

"Well..."

"?"

We mumbled our words. It seems Miss Leticia likes Aldin-sama. Being impulsive is a minus, but she's earnest and not dishonest, and she's not stupid either. She's polite and proper even to commoners, making Miss Leticia quite a recommended match. Her title as a Marquis’s daughter is also not a problem. However, Aldin-sama is oblivious and hasn't noticed at all. He doesn't realize she's entangling with me because I am close to him.

Miss Leticia, hang in there. The road ahead is long.

I secretly cheer for her. I'll just watch with a grin.

Maybe I got struck by divine punishment for thinking such things. Watching a maiden's pure love with a smirk isn't good, right? I'm reflecting on it, so won't you forgive me?

RosarinBurton, 15 years old. I was being prostrated to by a familiar-looking gentleman on my way home from school. Is today a festival of prostrations? I don't think it's bad to escape from reality.
