POV: Violet
“Are you okay, Mr. Clo, Ms. Cyan?”
“I’m fine. She also cast a recovery magic the moment she tackled me.”
“Mm, short time no see, Mary. I’m okay, Clo makes it hurt but he holds back enough to not cause any injuries.”
“That’s scary in its own way.”
As we were checking to see if Lord Clo and Ms. Cyan were injured, Mary Sue came running over to us later, worrying about them.
It seemed like she knew Ms. Cyan. They acted together in the play earlier, so maybe that’s when they got acquainted.
“So? Why did you charge me, Cyan? You better not have done it without any thoughts or because you hated that I was talking to Ms. Mary.”
“Fu, um — ah, sorry, it was a lie. I have another reason so please stop gripping me with both hands.”
Just as Lord Clo made a fist and was about to hit Ms. Cyan’s temple, she apologized politely. Ms. Cyan was the same as always, but… I was a bit envious that she could interact with Lord Clo like this.
I wonder if Lord Clo would be more casual with me if I acted like Ms. Cyan. I’ve already changed my hairstyle, so maybe I’ll give it a try next time… or not.
“Clo, you know how there’s that tournament at the school festival that I mentioned yesterday?”
“Are you talking about the one where outsiders can participate along with the students of the academy? Did you really come here to invite me to participate in it with you?”
“Neow, that’s not it. When I tried to participate, my idiot higher-ups were faster and forbade me from taking part in.”
So she really tried to participate. And the fact that she was banned from participating means that the higher-ups must be wary of Ms. Cyan. Well, of course they would be wary of a person who punched the archbishop.
“So, what happens if you can’t participate?”
“Oh yeah, about that. You were already registered as a participant, Clo.”
“Huh?”
Hm? What did Ms. Cyan say just now?
Lord Clo was registered as the participant… in other words, he will be taking part in the matches at the school festival…?
“I was?”
“You were.”
“What am I participating in?”
“In the tournament at the academy.”
“Why?”
“Because your application has been handed in.”
“Really?”
“Here’s the copy of the proof of participation. I got it specially.”
“Why?”
“I wonder why.”
“”…””
Lord Clo tried to force himself to understand something he couldn’t understand, and looked at Ms. Cyan with a questioning expression. For the time being, I want to switch places with Ms. Cyan. She’s pretty close to him.
“Apricot.”
“Naturally, I would never hand in the application for participation without permission.”
“Mr. Burnt, Ms. Amber.”
“Same as Apricot.”
“Ditto.”
Lord Clo was uncharacteristically suspecting that Apricot and the others had done it on their own. However, it seemed like he didn’t have serious doubts and easily backed down when the others denied it.
“Anyway, Cyan, thank you for letting me know that, but…”
“But what?”
“Do you not have any other business with me?”
“Nope, that was it.”
Lord Clo folded his arms and thought about what was going on for a while. Then he uncrossed his arms and looked at Ms. Cyan again… Can we switch places after all?
“In that case, there was no need to charge me, was there?”
“… You caught me?”
“… I caught you.”
There was an awkward pause, and just as Lord Clo tried to move his arm, Ms. Cyan moved quickly and wrapped her right arm around Gray and left arm around Apricot.
“Let’s go, Ray, Cottie! Let’s head out to the capital. I went through the trouble to change my clothes so the church officials wouldn’t get in my way, so let’s go!
“Eh, Lady Cyan?!”
“Grab onto me— y-you’re too fast, Ms. Cyan! You’re going too fast through the Monstrum!”
Carrying them on both sides, she left at an incredible speed… eh, wasn’t that too fast?
Gray and Apricot, along with their luggage, amounted to a total of nearly 100 kilograms, yet she left with ease. It didn’t even look like she strengthened her physical abilities, so just what’s up with her strength?
“Wait! Don’t just kidnap someone’s son! Oh, I’m sorry, Ms. Mary, we have to chase that kidnapper Sister so we’ll excuse ourselves now!
“Y-yes.”
“Let’s go then, Lady Violet, Mr. Burnt, Ms. Amber.”
We all nodded in surprise at Lord Clo’s words, and I turned to face her.
“Sorry, Sue. I’ll apologize for what happened between us before sometime.”
“No need to apologize—“
“No, give me an opportunity to do so. Well then, for now I’ll excuse myself.”
Saying so, I chased after Ms. Cyan with Lord Clo and the others.
Ms. Cyan… is quite far away. But we can still catch up with her.
But why did she do something like this? It’s true that she does some unexpected things, but it felt like she was being wary, just like that time with Schwarz… It’s not like she was worried because I was talking with her. I feel like Ms. Cyan would probably say something like, ‘talking things out and an apology are important.’
My suspicions aside, we chased after Ms. Cyan.

“Those servants were only mentioned by their names… but that boy is their son? And how was he like…”
“Mary! So you were here.”
“Oh, Your Highness. What’s the matter?”
“Don’t you ‘what’s the matter’ me. I was going to thank you after the play ended, but I heard that you had changed into your uniform and left.”
“I’m sorry. I had a little business to attend to.”
“… You’re not talking about Violet, are you? You know what she did to—“
“Fufu, it’s nothing. Come on, let’s go, Vermillion.”
“O-okay… I can’t do anything when you call me like that. But please don’t disappear for too long. It makes me worried.”
“Thank you very much. Oh, by the way, about the match—”
