Otome Game Rokkushuume, Automode ga Kiremashita

Chapter 44

Music room. Science room. Art room.

We see these room names while checking our path. The names seem ordinary but since magic is involved in the lessons it is actually not as ordinary as it sounds.

About halfway through our exploration, I checked the time and it seems we still have some time left to spare before school is overat that moment I suddenly remembered why I was planning to meet up with Keito.

Speaking of which, how was your class?

Isnt the question rather late?

I didnt hear anything about it though

I was thinking of asking him as soon as we met in the dining hall, but I ended up completely forgetting about it after the appearance of the new character Sashia and the surprise from Greas-sensei.

After our entrance, I was worried about Keito who enrolled at the last minute and how he was adjustingespicially since Keitos grade also had many unsettling elements to it. Ah, but mostly all because of a certain person. Because he and the prince are childhood friends I dont want to become too involved with them.

Well the reason is also because I am taking precautions against his overly attaching love but at the same time I just dont want to actively associate with him either.

Nothingnothing in particular happened. I introduced myself normally, answered some questions and that was all

Did you make any friends?

I cannot make any right away on the first day with my personality

Please dont say that yourselfwas what I wanted to say, but if I handled this poorly it would just come back to bite me.

How about talking with the person sitting next to you?

As expected, in this sort of situation the person sitting next to him would be the one most likely to become his friend.

Though in my case I couldnt bring myself to do so since I was sitting next to Sashia. Sashia himself would probably try to befriend me but I would like to refrain. Because I am afraid of accidentally raising a flag after all.

Oh, the person sitting next to me is the prince actually so I cant really speak to him all causally

Wh-!!

A bomb was just tossed forth without any hesitation. Because I wasnt prepared for it I ended up stumbling a bit.

Keito-san, did you just say the prince?

Eh, he probably meant prince as in an incredibly handsome ikeman who was worthy of being called that right? He couldnt possibly mean a real-life prince like the one where it could written down as an occupation right? Im begging you please dont make me face such a reality!

But it seems my wish wasnt conveyed telepathically over to Keito.

I think it was Prince Runa? Hes quite amazing and really gives off the impression of a prince

Yes, I know that

I met him, I talked to him, I was even selected as his fiancee candidate. I believed I was smoothly removed from the fiancee candidate selection because I hadnt been contacted since then.

Rather, Keito even you too?

Not only me but even my childhood friend is involved with this next door neighbor capture target-san.

Rather than me what about Maria?

Eh?

You also need to make some friends

This guy is really direct isnt he? If he wasnt my childhood friend I wouldve made him suffer a great pain by dealing a clean hit right to him.

But because Ive known him for a long time, I understand that he is just genuinely worried about me.

I am a male and I am fine with it since thats just how I am, but Maria cannot do that

Im really glad that you actually understand me

Both Keito and I arent frantic about making friends because of our personalities.

Close and deep is our ideal, we are satisfied with having just a few close friends. Even during the time with Niel, I had helped him since I was asked but we also became friends because we liked each other. Otherwise I wouldnt have continued holding tea parties even after his reclusive state had improved. Hes a capture target after all, it wouldve been a hassle.

But unlike Keito I cannot just stay alone all by myself just because something is troublesome.

The difference between Keito and I..put briefly is our social status.

Unlike Keito who is a commoner, a noble like myself is required to have the ability to communicate. Especially since Im a female along with being a nobles daughter, the process of socializing is also an important element.

Thus being all alone by myself in middle school..is a bit of a problem.

Before worrying about others worry about yourself first

Yes

Ill listen if you have anything you want to talk abouthe couldve been trying to comfort mebut in the meantime we finished our exploration and headed back to the dormitories side by side.
